650,000 Shares of Common Stock

This prospectus relates to a firm commitment public offering (the “Underwritten Offering”) of Atlas Lithium Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) for 650,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, at an assumed public offering price of $9.00 per share (the midpoint of the $8.00 to $10.00 estimated price range of the Underwritten Offering price).

Our common stock is currently traded on the OTCQB Marketplace (“OTCQB”) operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. under the symbol “ATLX.”

We have applied to list our common stock under the symbol “ATLX” on the Nasdaq Capital Market. No assurance can be given that our application will be approved, and we will not consummate this offering unless our common stock is approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

The share and per share information in this prospectus, unless otherwise noted and other than in our historical financial statements and the notes thereto, reflects a proposed reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock at an assumed 1-for-750 ratio to be effected prior to the closing of the Underwritten Offering.

On November 29, 2022, the last reported sale price for our common stock was $9.53 per share, reflecting an expected common stock reverse split at a ratio of 1-for-750 to be effected prior to the closing of the Underwritten Offering. Quotes of stock trading prices on an over-the-counter marketplace may not be indicative of the market price on a national securities exchange. The final public Underwritten Offering price may be at a discount to the trading price of our common stock on the OTCQB.

INVESTING IN OUR SECURITIES INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. SEE “RISK FACTORS” BEGINNING ON PAGE 9 OF THIS PROSPECTUS FOR A DISCUSSION OF INFORMATION THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN CONNECTION WITH AN INVESTMENT IN OUR SECURITIES.

We have granted to the underwriter a 45-day option, exercisable one or more times in whole or in part, to purchase up to an additional 97,500 shares of common stock (an amount equal to 15% of the common stock sold in the offering, assuming a total of 650,000 shares of common stock (assuming the reverse stock split) are sold at the public offering price per share of $9.00 (the midpoint of the $8.00 to $10.00 estimated price range of the Underwritten Offering price), less the underwriting discounts and commissions, to cover over-allotments, if any.

We have also agreed to issue to the representatives of the underwriters warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 32,500 shares of our common stock (assuming the reverse stock split). See “Underwriting” beginning on page 57 for additional information regarding these warrants and underwriting compensation generally.

The underwriters expect to deliver our common stock to purchasers in this offering on or about [●], 2022.

NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THESE SECURITIES OR DETERMINED IF THIS PROSPECTUS IS TRUTHFUL OR COMPLETE. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements are contained principally in the sections of this prospectus entitled “Prospectus Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business,” but are also contained elsewhere in this prospectus. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “objective,” “ongoing,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “should,” or the negative of these terms, or other comparable terminology intended to identify statements about the future. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from the information expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this prospectus, we caution you that these statements are based on a combination of facts and factors currently known by us and our expectations of the future, about which we cannot be certain. Forward-looking statements include statements about:

Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which we cannot predict with accuracy and some of which we might not even anticipate. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions at the time made, we can give no assurance that such expectations will be achieved. Actual events or results may differ materially. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We have no duty to update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus or to conform them to actual results, new information, future events or otherwise.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of these forward-looking statements.

You should read the risk factors and the other cautionary statements made in this prospectus as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this prospectus. If one or more of these factors materialize, or if any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA

This prospectus contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by us relating to market size and growth and other data about our industry. We obtained the industry and market data in this prospectus from our own research as well as from industry and general publications, surveys and studies conducted by third parties. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations and contains projections and estimates of the future performance of the industries in which we operate that are subject to a high degree of uncertainty, including those discussed in “Risk Factors.” We caution you not to give undue weight to such projections, assumptions and estimates. Further, industry and general publications, studies and surveys generally state that they have been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, although they do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information. While we believe that these publications, studies and surveys are reliable, we have not independently verified the data contained in them. In addition, while we believe that the results and estimates from our internal research are reliable, such results and estimates have not been verified by any independent source.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING DISCLOSURE OF MINERAL PROPERTIES

We are subject to the reporting requirements of the applicable U.S. securities laws. U.S. reporting requirements currently applicable to us are governed by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), and the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), including Regulation S-K, Subpart 1300 (“Regulation S-K 1300”).

Under Item 1300 of Regulation S-K, mineralization may not be classified as a reserve unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. We are an exploration stage company, and we have no reserves as defined by Regulation S-K 1300.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the other information in this prospectus, including our financial statements and the related notes thereto and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” before deciding whether to invest in our securities. The occurrence of any of the events or developments described below could harm our business, financial condition, operating results, and growth prospects. In such an event, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations.

Business Risks

Our future performance is difficult to evaluate because we have a limited operating history.

Investors should evaluate an investment in us considering the uncertainties encountered by developing companies. Although we were incorporated in 2011, we began to implement our current business strategy in 2016. Our current business strategy is focused on the exploration of lithium and other critical and battery metals, and, through specific subsidiaries, the exploration of iron and gold. While we have had a small amount of revenue from the sale of gold, diamonds, and industrial sand mined by us, we have not realized any revenues to date from the sale of other minerals. Our operating cash flow needs have been financed primarily through debt or equity and not through cash flows derived from our operations. As a result, we have little historical financial and operating information available to help you evaluate and predict our future performance. There can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful or that we will ultimately be able to attain profitability.

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have not been profitable and such condition raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. There is uncertainty regarding our ability to implement our business plan and to grow our business to a greater extent than we can with our existing financial resources without additional financing. Our long-term future growth and success is dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital and implement our business plan. There is no assurance that we will be successful in implementing our business plan or that we will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations, sell securities, or borrow funds on favorable terms or at all. Our inability to generate significant revenue or obtain additional financing could have a material adverse effect on our ability to fully implement our business plan and grow our business to a greater extent than we can with our existing financial resources.

We are an exploration stage company, and there is no guarantee that our properties will result in the commercial extraction of mineral deposits.

We are engaged in the business of exploring and developing mineral properties with the intention of locating economic deposits of minerals. An economic deposit is a mineral property which can be reasonably expected to generate profits upon extraction and commercialization of its minerals after considering all costs involved. Our property interests are at the exploration stage. Accordingly, it is unlikely that we will realize profits in the short term, and we also cannot assure you that we will realize profits in the medium to long term. Any profitability in the future from our business will be dependent upon development of at least one economic deposit and most likely further exploration and development of other economic deposits, each of which is subject to numerous risk factors.

Further, we cannot assure you that, even if an economic deposit of minerals is located, any of our property interests can be commercially mined. The exploration and development of mineral deposits involves a high degree of financial risk over a significant period which a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge of management may not eliminate. While discovery of additional ore-bearing deposits may result in substantial rewards, few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Major expenses may be required to establish reserves by drilling and to construct mining and processing facilities at a particular site. It is impossible to ensure that our current exploration programs will result in profitable commercial mining operations. The profitability of our operations will be, in part, related to the cost and success of its exploration and development programs which may be affected by several factors. Additional expenditures are required to establish reserves which are sufficient to commercially mine and to construct, complete and install mining and processing facilities in those properties that are mined and developed.

In addition, exploration-stage projects like ours have no operating history upon which to base estimates of future operating costs and capital requirements. Exploration project items, such as any future estimates of reserves, metal recoveries or cash operating costs will to a large extent be based upon the interpretation of geologic data, obtained from a limited number of drill holes and other sampling techniques, as well as future feasibility studies. Actual operating costs and economic returns of all exploration projects may materially differ from the costs and returns estimated, and accordingly our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows may be negatively affected.

Because the probability of an individual prospect ever having reserves is not known, our properties may not contain any reserves, and any funds spent on exploration and evaluation may be lost.

We are an exploration stage company, and we have no “reserves” as such term is defined by Regulation S-K 1300. We cannot assure you about the existence of economically extractable mineralization at this time, nor about the quantity or grade of any mineralization we may have found. Because the probability of an individual prospect ever having reserves is uncertain, our properties may not contain any reserves and any funds spent on evaluation and exploration may be lost. Even if we confirm reserves on our properties, any quantity or grade of reserves we indicate must be considered as estimates only until such reserves are mined. We do not know with certainty that economically recoverable minerals exist on our properties. In addition, the quantity of any reserves may vary depending on commodity prices. Any material change in the quantity or grade of reserves may affect the economic viability of our properties. Further, our lack of established reserves means that we are uncertain about our ability to generate revenue from our operations.

We face risks related to mining, exploration and mine construction, if warranted, on our properties.

Our level of profitability, if any, in future years will depend to a great degree on prices of minerals set by global markets and whether our exploration-stage properties can be brought into production. It is impossible to ensure that the current and future exploration programs and/or feasibility studies on our existing properties will establish reserves. Whether it will be economically feasible to extract a mineral depends on a number of factors, including, but not limited to: the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure; mineral prices; mining, processing and transportation costs; the willingness of lenders and investors to provide project financing; labor costs and possible labor strikes; and governmental regulations, including, without limitation, regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting materials, foreign exchange, environmental protection, employment, worker safety, transportation, and reclamation and closure obligations. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in us receiving an inadequate return on invested capital.

Our long-term success will depend ultimately on our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and to develop positive cash flow from our mining activities.

Our long-term success, including the recoverability of the carrying values of our assets, our ability to continue with exploration, development and commissioning and mining activities on our existing projects or to acquire additional projects, will depend ultimately on our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and to develop positive cash flow from our operations by establishing ore bodies that contain commercially recoverable minerals and to develop these into profitable mining activities. We cannot assure you that any ore body that we extract mineralized materials from will result in achieving and maintaining profitability and developing positive cash flow.

We depend on our ability to successfully access the capital and financial markets. Any inability to access the capital or financial markets may limit our ability to fund our ongoing operations, execute our business plan or pursue investments that we may rely on for future growth.

Until commercial production is achieved from one of our larger projects, we will continue to incur operating and investing net cash outflows associated with among other things maintaining and acquiring exploration properties, undertaking ongoing exploration activities and the development of mines. As a result, we rely on access to capital markets as a source of funding for our capital and operating requirements. We cannot assure you that such additional funding will be available to us on satisfactory terms, or at all.

In order to finance our current operations and future capital needs, we will require additional funds through the issuance of additional equity and/or debt securities. In addition to the proceeds of this offering, we may continue to seek capital through private placement transactions and by utilizing proceeds available under the Triton Equity Line Agreement. Depending on the type and the terms of any financing we pursue, shareholders’ rights and the value of their investment in our shares could be reduced. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and new or additional debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. In addition, if we issue secured debt securities, the holders of the debt would have a claim to our assets that would be prior to the rights of shareholders until the debt is paid. Interest on such debt securities would increase costs and negatively impact operating results.

If we are unable to obtain additional financing, as needed, at competitive rates, our ability to fund our current operations and implement our business plan and strategy will be affected, and we would be required to reduce the scope of our operations and scale back our exploration, development and mining programs. There is, however, no guarantee that we will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding which will provide us with sufficient funds to meet our objectives, which may adversely affect our business and financial position.

Our quarterly and annual operating and financial results and our revenue are likely to fluctuate significantly in future periods.

Our quarterly and annual operating and financial results are difficult to predict and may fluctuate significantly from period to period. Our revenues, net income and results of operations may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors that are outside our control including, but not limited to, lack of sufficient working capital, equipment malfunction and breakdowns, inability to timely find spare machines or parts to fix the broken equipment, regulatory or licensing delays and severe weather phenomena.

We may be unable to find sources of funding if and when needed, resulting in the failure of our business.

As of today, we need additional equity or debt financing beyond our existing cash to operate. In addition to the proceeds of this offering, we may continue to seek capital through private placement transactions and by utilizing proceeds available under the Triton Equity Line Agreement. This additional financing may not become available and, if available, may not be available on terms that are acceptable to us. If we do obtain acceptable funding, the terms and conditions of receiving such capital would likely result in further dilution. If we are not successful in raising capital or sufficient capital, we will have to modify our business plans and substantially reduce or eliminate operations, or even seek reorganization. In these events, the holders of our securities could lose a substantial part or all of their investment.

Our ability to manage growth will have an impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Future growth may place strains on our financial, technical, operational and administrative resources and cause us to rely more on project partners and independent contractors, potentially adversely affecting our financial position and results of operations. Our ability to grow will depend on several factors, including:

We may not be successful in upgrading our technical, operational and administrative resources or increasing our internal resources sufficiently to provide certain of the services currently provided by third parties, and we may not be able to maintain or enter into new relationships with project partners and independent contractors on financially attractive terms, if at all. Our inability to achieve or manage growth may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We depend upon Marc Fogassa, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman.

Our success is largely dependent upon the personal efforts of Marc Fogassa, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. Currently he is the only member of our management team that is fluent and fully conversant in both Portuguese, the language of Brazil, and English. The loss of the services of Mr. Fogassa would have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects. We maintain key-man life insurance on the life of Mr. Fogassa. See “Management.”

Our growth will require new personnel, which we will be required to recruit, hire, train and retain.

Our ability to recruit and assimilate new personnel will be critical to our performance. We will be required to recruit additional personnel and to train, motivate and manage employees, which may adversely affect our plans.

Certain executive officers and directors may be in a position of conflict of interest.

Marc Fogassa, our Chief Executive and Chairman, also serves as chief executive officer and director of Apollo Resources and Jupiter Gold. Joel Monteiro, Esq., one of our officers, is a director in both Apollo Resources and Jupiter Gold. Areli Nogueira, one of our officers, is a director in Jupiter Gold. We have partial equity ownership in both Apollo Resources and Jupiter Gold. There exists the possibility that one or more of these individuals, or others, may in the future be in a position of conflict of interest. Any decision made by such persons involving us will be made in accordance with their duties and obligations to deal fairly and in good faith with us and such other companies. In addition, any such officer or directors will declare, and refrain from voting on, any matter in which they may have a material interest.

Regulatory and Industry Risks

The mining industry subjects us to several risks.

In our operations, we are subject to the risks normally encountered in the mining industry, such as:

The nature of these risks is such that liabilities could exceed any applicable insurance policy limits or could be excluded from coverage. There are also risks against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. The potential costs which could be associated with any liabilities not covered by insurance, or in excess of insurance coverage, or compliance with applicable laws and regulations may cause substantial delays and require significant capital outlays, adversely affecting our future earnings and competitive position and, potentially our financial viability.

Our mineral projects will be subject to significant governmental regulations.

Mining activities in Brazil are subject to extensive federal, state, and local laws and regulations governing environmental protection, natural resources, prospecting, development, production, post-closure reclamation costs, taxes, labor standards and occupational health and safety laws and regulations, including mine safety, toxic substances and other matters. The costs associated with compliance with such laws and regulations can be substantial. In addition, changes in such laws and regulations, or more restrictive interpretations of current laws and regulations by governmental authorities, could result in unanticipated capital expenditures, expenses, or restrictions on, or suspensions of our operations and delays in the development of our properties.

We will be required to obtain governmental permits in order to conduct development and mining operations, a process which is often costly and time-consuming.

We are required to obtain and renew governmental permits for our exploration activities and, prior to developing or mining any mineralization that we discover, we will be required to obtain new governmental permits. Obtaining and renewing governmental permits is a complex, costly and time-consuming process. The timeliness and success of permitting efforts are contingent upon many variables not within our control, including the interpretation of permit approval requirements administered by the applicable permitting authority. We may not be able to obtain or renew permits that are necessary to our planned operations, or the cost and time required to obtain or renew such permits may exceed our expectations. Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the permitting process could delay the exploration, development or operation of our properties, which in turn could materially adversely affect our future revenues and profitability. In addition, key permits and approvals may be revoked or suspended or may be changed in a manner that adversely affects our activities.

Private parties, such as environmental activists, frequently attempt to intervene in the permitting process and to persuade regulators to deny necessary permits or seek to overturn permits that have been issued. Obtaining the necessary governmental permits involves numerous jurisdictions, public hearings and possibly costly undertakings. These third-party actions can materially increase the costs and cause delays in the permitting process and could cause us to not proceed with the development or operation of a property. In addition, our ability to successfully obtain key permits and approvals to explore for, develop, operate and expand operations will likely depend on our ability to undertake such activities in a manner consistent with the creation of social and economic benefits in the surrounding communities, which may or may not be required by law. Our ability to obtain permits and approvals and to successfully operate in particular communities may be adversely affected by real or perceived detrimental events associated with our activities.

Compliance with environmental regulations and litigation based on environmental regulations could require significant expenditures.

Environmental regulations mandate, among other things, the maintenance of air and water quality standards, and the rules on land development and reclamation. They also set forth limitations on the generation, transportation, storage, and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner that may require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects, and a heightened degree of responsibility for mining companies and their officers, directors and employees. In connection with our current exploration activities or with our prior mining operations, we may incur environmental costs that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Any failure to remedy an environmental problem could require us to suspend operations or enter into interim compliance measures pending completion of the required remedy.

Moreover, governmental authorities and private parties may bring lawsuits based upon damage to property and injury to persons resulting from the environmental, health and safety impacts of prior and current operations, including operations conducted by other mining companies many years ago at sites located on properties that we currently own or formerly owned. These lawsuits could lead to the imposition of substantial fines, remediation costs, penalties and other civil and criminal sanctions. We cannot assure you that any such law, regulation, enforcement or private claim would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Our operations face substantial regulation of health and safety.

Our operations are subject to extensive and complex laws and regulations governing worker health and safety across our operating regions and our failure to comply with applicable legal requirements can result in substantial penalties. Future changes in applicable laws, regulations, permits and approvals or changes in their enforcement or regulatory interpretation could substantially increase costs to achieve compliance, lead to the revocation of existing or future exploration or mining rights or otherwise have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial position.

Our mines are inspected on a regular basis by government regulators who may issue citations and orders when they believe a violation has occurred under local mining regulations. If inspections result in an alleged violation, we may be subject to fines, penalties or sanctions and our mining operations could be subject to temporary or extended closures.

In addition to potential government restrictions and regulatory fines, penalties or sanctions, our ability to operate (including the effect of any impact on our workforce) and thus, our results of operations and our financial position (including because of potential related fines and sanctions), could be adversely affected by accidents, injuries, fatalities or events detrimental (or perceived to be detrimental) to the health and safety of our employees, the environment or the communities in which we operate.

Our operations are subject to extensive environmental laws and regulations.

Our exploration, development, mining and processing operations are subject to extensive laws and regulations governing land use and the protection of the environment, which generally apply to air and water quality, protection of endangered, protected or other specified species, hazardous waste management and reclamation. We have made, and expect to make in the future, significant expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations. Compliance with these laws and regulations imposes substantial costs and burdens, and can cause delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain, government permits and approvals which may adversely impact our closure processes and operations.

Increased global attention or regulation of consumption of water by industrial activities, as well as water quality discharge, and on restricting or prohibiting the use of cyanide and other hazardous substances in processing activities could similarly have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial position due to increased compliance and input costs.

Mineral prices are subject to unpredictable fluctuations.

Portions of our revenues may come from the extraction and sale of minerals. The price of minerals may fluctuate widely and is affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including international, economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates, global or regional consumptive patterns, speculative activities, increased production due to new extraction developments and improved extraction and production methods and technological changes in the markets for the end products. The effect of these factors on the price of minerals, and therefore the economic viability of any of our exploration properties, cannot accurately be predicted.

Country and Currency Risks

Our ability to execute our business plan depends primarily on the continuation of a favorable mining environment in Brazil and our ability to freely sell our minerals.

Mining operations in Brazil are heavily regulated. Any significant change in mining legislation or other changes in Brazil’s current mining environment may slow down or alter our business prospects. Further, countries in which we may wish to sell our mined minerals may impose special taxes, tariffs, or otherwise place limits and controls on consumption of our mined minerals.

The perception of Brazil by the international community may affect us.

Brazil’s political environment and its environmental policies, in particular the preservation of the Amazon rain forest, are continuously scrutinized by the global media. If Brazil’s situation or policies are perceived as being inadequate, we may lose the interest of investor groups or potential buyers of our minerals, which will have a negative impact on us.

Exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations and capital controls may adversely affect our costs, earnings and the value of some of our assets.

Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar; however, we conduct our business in Brazil utilizing the Brazilian real. A large portion of our operating expenses are incurred in Brazilian real. An appreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar would increase our costs in U.S. dollar terms. Our consolidated financials are directly impacted by movements in the Brazilian real to U.S. dollar exchange rate.

While not expected, Brazil may choose to adopt measures to restrict the entry of U.S. dollars or the repatriation of capital across borders. These measures would have a number of negative effects on us, reducing the immediately available capital that we could otherwise deploy for investment opportunities or the payment of expenses, and the ability to repatriate any profits.

Common Stock Risks

Our common stock price may be volatile.

The market price of our common stock has been and is likely to continue to be volatile and could fluctuate in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:

In addition, the securities markets have from time-to-time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of any company. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock regardless of our actual operations and the results from those operations.

There is no assurance that an active, liquid and orderly trading market will develop for our common stock or what the market price of our common stock will be and, as a result, it may be difficult for you to sell your shares of our common stock.

Since we became a publicly traded company in April 2012, there has been a limited public market for shares of our common stock on the OTCQB. We do not yet meet the initial listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market, and, although we have applied to list our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market concurrently upon completion of this offering, no assurances can be given that we will be successful. Until our common stock is listed on that market or a broader exchange, we anticipate that it will remain quoted on the OTCQB. In that venue, investors may find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock. In addition, if we fail to meet the criteria set forth in SEC regulations, various requirements would be imposed by law on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Consequently, such regulations may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling our common stock, which may further affect liquidity. This could also make it more difficult to raise additional capital.

We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in our Company will lead to the development of a more active trading market on the OTCQB, whether we will meet the initial listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market, or how liquid that market might become. If an active trading market does not develop, you may have difficulty selling any of the shares of our common stock that you buy.

Our common stock is currently defined as a “penny stock” and the rules imposed on the sale of the shares may affect your ability to resell any shares you may purchase, if at all.

Our common stock currently trades below $5 and is therefore defined as a “penny stock” under the Exchange Act. The Exchange Act and penny stock rules generally impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities. For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, a broker-dealer must make a suitability determination for each purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement prior to the sale. In addition, the broker-dealer must make certain mandated disclosures in penny stock transactions, including the actual sale or purchase price and actual bid and offer quotations, the compensation to be received by the broker-dealer and certain associated persons, and deliver certain disclosures required by the SEC. Consequently, the penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to make a market in or trade our common stock and may consequently affect a stockholder’s ability to resell any of our shares in the public markets.

We do not intend to pay regular future dividends on our common stock and thus stockholders must look to appreciation of our common stock to realize a gain on their investments.

We have never paid a dividend and we do not have any plans to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Our future dividend policy is within the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon various factors, including future earnings, if any, our capital requirements and general financial condition, and other factors. Accordingly, stockholders must look solely to appreciation of our common stock to realize a gain on their investment. This appreciation may not occur or may occur only over a longer timeframe.

We may seek to raise additional funds, finance acquisitions, or develop strategic relationships by issuing securities that would dilute your ownership.

We may largely finance our operations by issuing equity securities, which may materially reduce the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders. Furthermore, any newly issued securities could have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of our existing common stock. Moreover, any issuances by us of equity securities may be at or below the prevailing market price of our stock and in any event may have a dilutive impact on ownership interest of existing common stockholders, which could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. We may also raise additional funds through the incurrence of debt or the issuance or sale of other securities or instruments senior to our Common Stock. The holders of any debt securities or instruments that we may issue could have rights superior to the rights of our common stockholders.

Our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has the effect of concentrating voting control over us in Marc Fogassa, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman.

One share of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Stock”) is issued, outstanding and held since 2012 by Marc Fogassa, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. The Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of our Series A Stock provides that for so long as Series A Stock is issued and outstanding, the holders of Series A Stock shall vote together as a single class with the holders of our common stock, with the holders of Series A Stock being entitled to 51% of the total votes on all matters regardless of the actual number of shares of Series A Stock then outstanding, and the holders of common stock and any other class or series of capital stock entitled to vote with the common stock being entitled to their proportional share of the remaining 49% of the total votes based on their respective voting power. As a result, you may have limited ability to impact our operations and activities.

Marc Fogassa, our Chief Executive Officer and member of our Board of Directors, owns greater than 50% of the Company’s voting securities, which will cause us to be deemed a “controlled company” under the rules of Nasdaq.

As a result of his ownership of all issued and outstanding shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, as well as ownership of our Common Stock, Mr. Fogassa, our Chief Executive Officer and member of our Board of Directors, currently holds approximately 54.17% of our voting securities (and will continue to own approximately 53.80% of our outstanding voting securities upon consummation of the offering), and as such, we are a “controlled company” under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, a group or another company is a “controlled company” and, as such, may elect to be exempt from certain corporate governance requirements.

Accordingly, should the interests of Mr. Fogassa differ from those of other stockholders, the other stockholders may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq corporate governance standards. Even if we do not avail ourselves of these exemptions, our status as a controlled company could make our common stock less attractive to some investors or otherwise harm our stock price.

You will need to keep records of your investment for tax purposes.

Each purchase or sell of securities, including our common stock, may result in tax consequences for you. We will not keep tax records for you. You, or someone on your behalf, will be required to keep your own tax records with regard to your transactions involving our securities.

Risks Related To This Offering And The Reverse Stock Split

Our stock price may be volatile, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

The trading price of our common stock following this offering is likely to be volatile, may fluctuate substantially, and may be higher or lower than the Underwritten Offering price. Our common stock may also be subject to rapid and substantial price volatility. There have been recent instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines following initial public offerings, with stock price volatility seemingly unrelated to company performance, particularly among companies with relatively smaller public floats, and we expect that such instances may continue and/or increase in the future. Contributing to this risk of volatility are a number of factors. First, our shares of common stock are likely to be more sporadically and thinly traded than that of larger, more established companies. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trade of relatively small quantities of shares by our stockholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price of our common stock could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand as compared to a seasoned issuer that could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its stock price. Second, we are a speculative investment due to our limited operating history in our current business strategy, not being profitable, and being an exploration stage company with no guarantee that our properties will result in the commercial extraction of mineral deposits. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a larger, more established company that has a relatively large public float.

In addition, the market price of our common stock is also subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other factors:

Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common stock. Such volatility, including any stock run-ups, may be unrelated or disproportionate to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our common stock.

Furthermore, the stock market in general, and the market for technology companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. Broad market and industry factors, as well as general economic, political and market conditions such as recessions or interest rate changes, may seriously affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. These fluctuations may be even more pronounced in the trading market for our stock shortly following this offering. If the market price of our common stock after this offering does not exceed the per share Underwritten Offering price, you may not realize any return on your investment in us and may lose some or all of your investment.

Further, in the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market prices of particular companies’ securities, securities class action litigations have often been instituted against these companies. Litigation of this type, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources. Any adverse determination in any such litigation or any amounts paid to settle any such actual or threatened litigation could require that we make significant payments.

You will experience dilution as a result of future equity offerings.

We may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock. Although no assurances can be given that we will consummate a future financing, in the event we do, or in the event we sell shares of common stock or other securities convertible into shares of our common stock in the future, additional and potentially substantial dilution will occur. In addition, investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to investors in this offering.

We have not paid cash dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the future. Any return on investment will likely be limited to the value of our common stock.

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting us at such time as our Board of Directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.

Since we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future, stock price appreciation, if any, will be your sole source of gain.

We currently intend to retain all of our future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business. In addition, the terms of any future debt agreements may preclude us from paying dividends. As a result, appreciation, if any, in the market price of our common stock will be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

We may need additional capital, and we may be unable to obtain such capital in a timely manner or on acceptable terms, or at all. Furthermore, our future capital needs may require us to sell additional equity or debt securities that may dilute our stockholders or introduce covenants that may restrict our operations or our ability to pay dividends.

To grow our business and remain competitive, we may require additional capital from time to time for our daily operation. In addition to the proceeds of this offering, we may continue to seek capital through private placement transactions and by utilizing proceeds available under the Triton Equity Line Agreement. Our ability to obtain additional capital is subject to a variety of uncertainties, including:

We may be unable to obtain additional capital in a timely manner or on acceptable terms or at all. In addition, our future capital needs and other business reasons could require us to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The sale of additional equity or equity-linked securities could dilute our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations or our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders.

Our existing stockholders have substantial influence over our Company and their interests may not be aligned with the interests of our other stockholders, which may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their securities.

As of the date of this prospectus, certain stockholders control approximately [●]% of the voting power in us, including management. As a result, these stockholders have substantial influence over our business, including decisions regarding mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, election of directors and other significant corporate actions. This concentration of ownership may discourage, delay or prevent a change in our control, which could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of any contemplated sale of our Company and may reduce the price of our common stock.

Investors in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value.

The Underwritten Offering price per share of common stock will be substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our outstanding shares of common stock. As a result, investors in this offering will incur immediate dilution of $9.00 per share, based on the assumed Underwritten Offering price of $9.00 per share of common stock, the midpoint of the $8.00 to $10.00 estimated price range of the Underwritten Offering price. Investors in this offering will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds the book value of our assets after subtracting our liabilities. See “Dilution” for a more complete description of how the value of your investment will be diluted upon the completion of this offering.

Our management will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from this offering and may not use the proceeds effectively.

Our management will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from this offering. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for exploration, including drilling and assessment of deposits and reserves, if any, as well as capital expenditures, and working capital. We may also use our net proceeds to acquire and invest in complementary technologies or businesses; however, we currently have no agreements or commitments to complete any such transaction. Our management will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. The net proceeds may be used for corporate purposes that do not improve our operating results or enhance the value of our securities.

Our expected use of net proceeds from this offering represents our current intentions based upon our present plans and business condition. As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot predict with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the completion of this offering. The amounts and timing of our actual use of the net proceeds will vary depending on numerous factors, including amount of cash used in our operations, which can be highly uncertain, subject to substantial risks and can often change. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and investors will be relying on our judgment regarding the application of the net proceeds of this offering.

The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities. These investments may not yield a favorable return to our stockholders. If we do not invest or apply the net proceeds from this offering in ways that enhance stockholder value, we may fail to achieve expected financial results, which could cause our stock price to decline.

The proposed Reverse Stock Split could cause our stock price to decline relative to its value before the split and decrease the liquidity of shares of our common stock.

We plan to effect a Reverse Stock Split of our issued and outstanding common stock immediately following the effectiveness but prior to the closing of this offering in order to achieve a sufficient increase in our stock price to enable us to qualify for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. There is no assurance that that the Reverse Stock Split will not cause an actual decline in the value of our outstanding common stock. The liquidity of the shares of our common stock may be affected adversely by the Reverse Stock Split given the reduced number of shares that will be outstanding following the Reverse Stock Split, especially if the market price of our common stock does not increase as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. In addition, the Reverse Stock Split may increase the number of stockholders who own odd lots (less than 100 shares) of our common stock, creating the potential for such stockholders to experience an increase in the cost of selling their shares and greater difficulty effecting such sales.

Following the proposed Reverse Stock Split, we cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to comply with listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market.

We have applied to list our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market in connection with this offering. Following the proposed Reverse Stock Split, we expect that our common stock will be eligible to be quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market. For our common stock to be so listed, we must meet the current listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market, including the minimum bid price requirement. There can be no assurance that the market price of our common stock following the Reverse Stock Split will remain at the level required for continuing compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of the Nasdaq Capital Market. It is not uncommon for the market price of a company’s common stock to decline in the period following a Reverse Stock Split. If the market price of our common stock declines following the effectuation of the Reverse Stock Split, the percentage decline may be greater than would occur in the absence of a reverse stock split. In addition, other factors unrelated to the number of shares of our common stock outstanding, such as negative financial or operational results, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and jeopardize our ability to meet or maintain the minimum bid price requirement of the Nasdaq Capital Market. If we fail to comply with the minimum bid price requirement, our securities could be delisted.

In addition to the minimum bid price requirement for continuing compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market continued listing standards, we cannot assure you that we will be able to comply with the other standards that we are required to meet in order to maintain a listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. For example, we may lose an independent director on our Audit Committee, who cannot readily be replaced. Our failure to meet these requirements may result in our common stock sold in this offering being delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, irrespective of our compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.

If our common stock were to be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, our common stock could revert to trading on the OTCQB Market or another over-the-counter platform following any delisting from Nasdaq Capital Market. Any such delisting of our common stock could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our common stock, not only in terms of the number of shares that can be bought and sold at a given price, but also through delays in the timing of transactions and less coverage of us by securities analysts, if any. Also, as we are seeking additional equity capital, it could have an adverse effect on our ability to raise capital in the public or private equity markets.

Risks Related to Pandemics

A resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic, or the emergence of a new pandemic, may adversely affect our business.

A resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic, or the emergence of a new pandemic, may adversely affect our business. In the recent past, the spread of COVID-19 caused public health officials in both Brazil and the U.S. to recommend precautions to mitigate the spread of the virus, especially as to international travel. In addition, certain states and municipalities in both countries enacted quarantine and “shelter-in-place” regulations and at times required non-essential businesses to close. There is no certainty that a resurgence of COVID-19, or a new pandemic, will not occur with restrictions imposed again in response. It is unclear how such restrictions, if put in place again, would contribute to a general slowdown in the global economy and would affect our business.

Risks Related to Current World Events

An escalation of the current war in Ukraine, generalized conflict in Europe, or the emergence of conflict elsewhere, may adversely affect our business.

An escalation of the current war in Ukraine, generalized conflict in Europe, or the emergence of conflict elsewhere may adversely affect our business if the U.S. capital markets become risk averse for a prolonged period of time, and/or there is a general slowdown in the global economy.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of common stock in this offering will be approximately $5,190,500, or approximately $6,006,575 if the underwriter exercises in full its option to purchase additional shares of common stock, based on an assumed Underwritten Offering price of $9.00 per share (the midpoint of the $8.00 to $10.00 estimated price range of the Underwritten Offering price), after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Each $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed Underwritten Offering price per share of common stock would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately $500,000, or approximately $575,000 if the underwriter exercises its over-allotment option in full, assuming the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remain the same and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

The expected use of net proceeds of this offering represents our current intentions based upon our present plan and business conditions. As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the completion of this offering. The amounts and timing of our actual use of net proceeds will vary depending on numerous factors. As a result, management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and investors will be relying on our judgment regarding the application of the net proceeds of this offering. We intend to use of proceeds from this offering is to expand and accelerate our exploration program leading to the identification and quantitative measurement of our lithium prospective lithium deposits, as well as for exploration for other mineral deposits in our other properties, including drilling and assessment of deposits and reserves, if any, and working capital and general corporate purposes. We may also use some amount of the proceeds for the acquisition of additional mineral rights and/or mines, and mining assets such as earth moving equipment, processing and recovery units, among others. We have presumed that we will receive aggregate gross proceeds of $5,850,000 from this offering (excluding any proceeds received from exercise of the over-allotment by the underwriter, if any) and will incur $659,500 in offering costs, commissions and fees.

The use of the proceeds represents management’s estimates based upon current business and economic conditions. We reserve the right to use the net proceeds we receive in the offering in any manner we consider to be appropriate. Although we do not contemplate changes in the proposed use of proceeds, to the extent we find that adjustment is required for other uses by reason of existing business conditions, the use of proceeds may be adjusted. The actual use of the proceeds of this offering could differ materially from those outlined above as a result of several factors including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus.

Pending the use of the net proceeds of this offering, we intend to invest the net proceeds in short-term investment-grade, interest-bearing securities.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

Prior to this offering, there was a limited public market for our common stock. We and the underwriter will determine at what price we may sell the common stock offered by this prospectus. As of November 29, 2022, the closing bid price for our common stock as reported on the OTCQB was $9.53 per share, reflecting an expected common stock reverse split at a ratio of 1-for-750 to be effected prior to the Underwritten Offering. The principal factors to be considered when determining the Underwritten Offering price include:

DILUTION

If you invest in our common stock in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the assumed Underwritten Offering price per share of common stock in this offering and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share immediately after this offering. We calculate net tangible book value per share by dividing our net tangible book value, which is tangible assets less total liabilities less debt discounts, by the number of our outstanding common stock as of September 30, 2022. Our historical net tangible book value as of September 30, 2022, was $2,595,939 or $0.53 per share based upon shares of common stock outstanding on such date.

Our pro forma net tangible book value as of the date of this prospectus is $3,405,229 or $0.68 per share of common stock after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split and:

After giving effect to our receipt of approximately $5,190,500 of estimated net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, from our sale of common stock in this offering at an assumed Underwritten Offering price of  $9.00 per share of common stock, the midpoint of the $8.00 to $10.00 estimated price range of the Underwritten Offering price, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2022, would have been approximately $8,595,729, or $1.51 per share. This amount represents an immediate increase in net pro forma tangible book value of  $0.83 per share of our common stock to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in the pro forma net tangible book value of  $7.49 per share of our common stock to new investors purchasing shares of common stock in this offering.

The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis to new investors:
