TSX-V:
SGMA ) (
OTC- QB: SGMLF )
has filed its audited consolidated financial and operating results
and management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) for the year
ended December 31, 2020.

and

During this transformative 2020 year, the Company continued to
demonstrate its development, commercial and market relevance by
significantly advancing its strategic goals on three fronts:
near-term production scheduled for 2022, studying the viability of
production expansion contemplated for 2023, and the determination
of the ultimate extent and unique high-purity quality of mineral
resources at the Company´s wholly-owned Grota do Cirilo Project,
all while maintaining its strategic leadership in ESG in the
lithium supply chain.
The Company announces that it is considering a potential listing
of its shares in the United States with a view to increasing access
to U.S. capital and enhancing overall shareholder value. This
follows the United States Department of State and Brazil Ministry
of Mines and Energy launching the U.S. – Brazil bilateral
cooperation in Critical Minerals, including lithium. This adds to
the Company´s current relationships in Japan, South Korea and
specialist chemical tolling partners in China.
ABOUT SIGMA LITHIUM
Sigma is a Canadian company developing, with an environmental
sustainably ESG focused strategy, the largest hard rock lithium
deposits in the Americas, located in its wholly owned Grota do
Cirilo Project in Brazil (the “Project”). The Company has been
producing low carbon high purity lithium concentrate at an on-site
demonstration pilot plant (the “Pilot Plant”) since 2018. This
pilot production has been an important part of the successful
commercial strategy of the Company, shipping samples of its low
carbon “green & sustainable” high purity lithium to leading
global potential customers, for product certification and testing,
with the goal of participating in the rapidly expanding electric
vehicle (“EV”) supply chain.
The Company is in pre-construction and detailed engineering of
an environmentally friendly, fully automated, dense media separator
(“DMS”) production plant, that will apply proprietary algorithms to
digitally control the dense media. The production plant will be
vertically integrated into the Company´s mining operations,
exclusively utilizing as feedstock the high purity spodumene ore
with exceptional mineralogy from the Project. The production plant
will process the spodumene ore into a high purity 6% battery-grade
lithium concentrate engineered to the specifications of its
customers in the lithium-ion battery supply chain for EVs.
In order to secure a leading position supplying the clean
mobility and green energy storage value chains, the Company has
adhered consistently to the highest standards of ESG practices,
which were established as part of its core purpose at inception in
2012. The production process will be powered by clean energy and
the Company will use state-of-the art water recirculation circuits
in its processing combined with dry stacking tailings management.
The DMS process of the production plant does not utilize hazardous
chemicals, as a result its tailings are 100% recyclable into
ancillary industries, such as ceramics.
The Company is currently undergoing an independent assessment of
its net carbon footprint, conducting an independent ISO 14000
compliant audit of its life cycle analysis together with an
independent expert validation of its carbon credits generated by
its internal preservation, reforestation, and compensation forestry
programs.
