Atlantic Lithium, an exploration and development company, has committed to allocating one percent of its mining revenue to uplift the communities in Mfantseman.
Aaron Monver, the Head of Operations at Atlantic Lithium, emphasized the company’s focus on prioritizing the well-being of its working environment and supporting community development.
To achieve this, the company plans to establish a community development fund aimed at enhancing the livelihoods of the catchment communities.
This commitment was conveyed during a meeting organized by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to discuss the proposed Ewoyaa lithium mining and processing project in the Central Region.
The meeting provided a platform for Atlantic Lithium to engage with the communities, gather feedback, and address environmental concerns as part of the process to secure operational permits.
Aaron Monver urged the community to embrace the opportunities created by the project, emphasizing the importance of local participation.
Atlantic Lithium is dedicated to responsible mining practices that contribute positively to the local communities and the country as a whole.
Stakeholders were encouraged to collaborate in supporting the project to achieve its objectives.
The move aligns with the growing demand for lithium, driven by the increasing adoption of electric vehicles for energy storage to meet global climate change objectives.
Ghana has granted a 15-year lithium mining license to Atlantic Lithium Limited, positioning the country to tap into the lucrative global lithium industry.
Barari DV Ghana Limited, a unit of Atlantic Lithium, holds the lease to construct a lithium mine in Ewoyaa, Central Region, pending environmental permits from the EPA and the Minerals Commission.
