SAO PAULO, BRAZIL – (November
1, 2023) – Sigma Lithium Corporation (“Sigma Lithium” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SGML,
BVMF: S2GM34, TSXV: SGML), a leading global lithium producer dedicated to powering the next generation of electric vehicles with
carbon neutral, responsibly sourced chemical grade lithium concentrate, announces that its strategic review process is advancing to a
final round, with consortiums formed amongst certain strategic parties, reinforcing Brazil’s position as one of the world’s
most global investor-friendly mining jurisdictions
The significant global strategic interest
in the process is a result of the Company’s large mineral resource scale, coupled with its low-cost open pit mineral reserves and
leading position on environmental and social sustainability. It also demonstrates the strength of the Company’s governance, transparency
and compliance, resulting from its international listings. These unique traits underscore Sigma’s potential as an “enabler”
for the business plans of companies in both the electric vehicles and battery materials industries.
Sigma Lithium and its board remain committed
to its initial timeline with a goal of completing the strategic review process no later than year-end.

FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This news release
includes certain "forward-looking information" under applicable Canadian and U.S. securities legislation, including but not
limited to statements relating to timing and costs related to the general business and operational outlook of the Company, the environmental
footprint of tailings and positive ecosystem impact relating thereto, donation and upcycling of tailings, timing and quantities relating
to tailings and Green Lithium, achievements and projections relating to the Zero Tailings strategy, achievement of ramp-up volumes, production
estimates and the operational status of the Grota do Cirilo Project, and other forward-looking information. All statements that address
future plans, activities, events, estimates, expectations or developments that the Company believes, expects or anticipates will or may
occur is forward-looking information, including statements regarding the potential development of mineral resources and mineral reserves
which may or may not occur. Forward-looking information contained herein is based on certain assumptions regarding, among other things:
general economic and political conditions; the stable and supportive legislative, regulatory and community environment in Brazil; demand
for lithium, including that such demand is supported by growth in the electric vehicle market; the Company’s market position and
future financial and operating performance; the Company’s estimates of mineral resources and mineral reserves, including whether
mineral resources will ever be developed into mineral reserves; and the Company’s ability to operate its mineral projects including
that the Company will not experience any materials or equipment shortages, any labour or service provider outages or delays or any technical
issues. Although management believes that the assumptions and expectations reflected in the forward-looking information are reasonable,
there can be no assurance that these assumptions and expectations will prove to be correct. Forward-looking information inherently involves
and is subject to risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to that the market prices for lithium may not remain at current
levels; and the market for electric vehicles and other large format batteries currently has limited market share and no assurances can
be given for the rate at which this market will develop, if at all, which could affect the success of the Company and its ability to
develop lithium operations. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events
could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
information. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether because of
new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. For more information on the risks, uncertainties and assumptions
that could cause our actual results to differ from current expectations, please refer to the current annual information form of the Company
and other public filings available under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com.
