Atlantic Lithium Limited has temporarily suspended trading of its shares on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) as it responds to a query over recent movements in its share price and ongoing market speculation about its operations in Ghana.
In a statement issued on February 19, 2026, the Africa-focused lithium exploration and development company said it requested the trading halt to allow time to address questions from the ASX and clarify speculation surrounding the potential ratification of its Ewoyaa Mining Lease, as well as discussions about a possible corporate transaction.
The company stressed that it is not aware of any new developments concerning the Ewoyaa Mining Lease beyond its last public update on December 22, 2025.
According to Atlantic Lithium, the trading halt will remain in place until it releases a further announcement or until trading resumes on Monday, February 23, 2026.
Despite the pause in Australia, the company’s shares continue to trade normally on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE). Atlantic Lithium is also listed on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange.
Atlantic Lithium is currently advancing the Ewoyaa Lithium Project, which is expected to become Ghana’s first lithium-producing mine. The company said it will provide additional information to the market as and when necessary.
