Observed Surface Sample Grades up to 28,870ppm TREO and 23.2% TiO2

Belo Horizonte, Brazil - Newsfile Corp. - July 17, 2025 - Atlas Critical Minerals Corporation (OTCQB: JUPGF) ("Atlas Critical Minerals" or the "Company") is pleased to report strong initial rare earth and titanium results from its Alto do Paranaíba Project (the "Project"), located in the western part of state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The project demonstrates significant potential for near-surface rare earth and titanium mineralization within the "Mata da Corda" Group geological sequence. SGS Canada,Inc. ("SGS") was retained to prepare technical reports under U.S. Regulation S-K 1300. In particular, Marc-Antoine Laporte and Yann Camus from SGS are Qualified Persons for the Project. SGS is well-known as a global leader in testing, inspection and certification of mineral properties and projects. The Project comprises mineral rights totaling more than 25,000 hectares, strategically positioned within a major volcano-sedimentary geological sequence. The extensive Project area has been divided into three exploration blocks for ease of exploration activities as shown in Figure 1.

This geological setting, with its geochemical signature confirmed to be related to Brazilian late Cretaceous Alkaline Provinces, provides outstanding exploration potential for mineralization for both rare earth elements and titanium. Surface Sampling Results The Company's initial exploration campaign has included 770 surface samples (rock and soil), which demonstrated consistently high grades across all three blocks: Block 1 Highlights:

• 5,984 ppm TREO; 1,700 ppm MREO; 14.8% TiO₂ (Sample APPPA00152)
• 4,897 ppm TREO; 1,301 ppm MREO; 13.9% TiO₂ (Sample PCP-000019)
• 4,648 ppm TREO; 1,246 ppm MREO; 17.4% TiO₂ (Sample APPPA00111)

• 6,759 ppm TREO; 2,191 ppm MREO; 12.0% TiO₂ (Sample SPJ-00069)
• 6,405 ppm TREO; 1,643 ppm MREO; 18.6% TiO₂ (Sample SPJ-00008)

• 16,152 ppm TREO; 3,915 ppm MREO; 6.1% TiO₂ (Sample ATI-089)
• 10,586 ppm TREO; 679 ppm MREO; 12.7% TiO₂ (Sample ATI-025)
• 23.2% TiO₂ (Sample SVV-00003)
