Atlantico Energy Metals Corp. (CSE:ATLA, FSE:1CJ1) CEO Bonn Smith joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to discuss the company's Novo Cruzeiro project in Brazil's Lithium Valley, following encouraging results from its first-pass exploration programme. Covering more than 24,000 hectares of contiguous land, Novo Cruzeiro is one of the larger land packages in the region. Early geological sampling has returned lithium pathfinder indicators alongside significant rare earth results from stream sediment and rock chip sampling — pointing to potential beyond a conventional lithium story. "We're definitely looking at a multiple discovery package potentially here across the critical minerals spectrum," Smith said. The company has identified several exploration hotspots for follow-up work, including multiple artisanal mine workings across the property that have allowed geologists to examine pegmatites underground and sharpen their geological understanding. Next steps include continued detailed fieldwork and sampling before advancing to a maiden drilling programme on priority targets, with the company following a disciplined, evidence-led approach across what could become multiple exploration opportunities.
