Atlas Lithium appoints Admiral Rocha to board, audit committee

Atlas Lithium ( (ATLX) ) has issued an update.

Classified as an independent director by Nasdaq standards and compensated with a monthly cash fee without equity grants, his appointment underscores Atlas Lithium’s effort to strengthen board independence and high-level geopolitical and energy-sector insight without introducing related-party complexities.
