He has practised as a barrister in both the UK and Ghana and holds various executive and postgraduate certifications, including in Oil, Gas and Mining from the Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford in the UK.

Commenting, Neil Herbert, Executive Chairman of Atlantic Lithium, said:

“It gives me great pleasure to welcome Edward to the Atlantic Lithium Board, assuming the position available to the Minerals Income Investment Fund as agreed under the terms of MIIF’s US$5m Subscription in the Company, which was completed in January 2024.

“Enabling greater Ghanaian representation in the strategic direction of the Company and the Ewoyaa Lithium Project, Edward’s appointment more closely aligns the Company’s objectives and the advancement of the Project with its Ghanaian stakeholders.

“Further to its Subscription in the Company, Edward’s appointment reflects MIIF’s strong belief in Atlantic Lithium as an investment opportunity and the successful delivery of the Project to generate significant benefits to Ghanaians. Bringing decades of mining, legal and corporate experience to the role, Edward will, no doubt, contribute greatly to the advancement of the Project.

“I look forward to finalising the second stage of MIIF’s investment in the Company and working closely with Edward towards our shared goal of achieving lithium production at Ewoyaa.”

Commenting, Edward Koranteng, added:

“I look forward to supporting the growth of Atlantic Lithium, not only in Ghana but as a foremost lithium exploration company on the continent. MIIF’s investment in Atlantic Lithium is premised on the belief that the Ewoyaa Lithium Project and the Company’s other tenements hold great promise and opportunity, which will generate significant returns and further support Ghana’s green energy efforts.

“Our investment also supports the Government of Ghana’s overarching objective of ensuring that Ghana remains the preferred mining destination in Africa, with MIIF as a co-investment partner. I am without any doubt that the Project shall be successfully delivered with the full support of MIIF and the Government of Ghana.
