Margaux Red Capital Inc. and Sigma Lithium Resources Inc. Announce Conditional Approval for Qualifying Transaction and Filing of Filing Statement

VANCOUVER, April 26, 2018 - Margaux Red Capital Inc. (NEX-MXC.H) ("Margaux") and Sigma Lithium Resources Inc. ("Sigma") are pleased to announce that conditional approval has been received from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") for the closing of the previously announced proposed Qualifying Transaction (the "Proposed Transaction") in accordance with Exchange Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool Companies, and that the filing statement for the Proposed Transaction has been filed on SEDAR (the "Filing Statement").

As previously announced, the Proposed Transaction involves an exchange of shares pursuant to which Sigma's shareholders will receive common shares in the capital of Margaux ("Margaux Shares") in exchange for 100% of the common shares in the capital of Sigma ("Sigma Shares") based on an exchange ratio that will result in holders of Sigma Shares receiving such number of Margaux Shares ("Consideration Shares") as will result in the Consideration Shares comprising 99% of the pro forma outstanding Margaux Shares.

As described in the news release dated March 28, 2018, Sigma completed a $20,000,000 financing through the issuance of 10,000,000 subscription receipts ("Subscription Receipts") by way of a brokered private placement through a syndicate of agents co-led by National Bank Financial Inc. and Cormark Securities Inc. and which included Canaccord Genuity Corp.  Each Subscription Receipt entitles the holder, at no extra cost, to one Sigma Share. The Subscription Receipts will automatically be exchanged, without payment of any additional consideration or further action on the part of the holders, into Sigma Shares immediately prior to closing of the Proposed Transaction.  In addition, prior to closing of the Proposed Transaction, and as a condition to Margaux listing as a Tier 1 Mining Issuer on the TSXV (to have the required number of public shareholders), Sigma is expecting to complete a private placement of 20,000 Sigma Shares at a subscription price of $2.00 per Sigma Share for aggregate gross proceeds of $40,000.

Full details of the Proposed Transaction and the business of Sigma are contained in the Filing Statement which is available under Margaux's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

The Proposed Transaction is an arm's length transaction and as such approval of the shareholders of Margaux will not be required.

Assuming all conditions to closing are satisfied, Margaux and Sigma expect to close the Proposed Transaction on April 30, 2018 or as soon as possible thereafter. Upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, Margaux is expected to meet all of the listing requirements of the TSXV for a Tier 1 Mining Issuer and the Margaux Shares will commence trading on the TSXV, under the new symbol "SGMA", the week of May 7, 2018. Following completion of the Proposed Transaction it is expected that shareholder approval will be sought to change Margaux's name to "Sigma Lithium Resources Inc." and to undertake a consolidation of the then outstanding Margaux Shares.

Sigma, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sigma Mineração S.A., is focused on developing its 100% owned past-producing lithium project located in the Araçuaí and Itinga regions of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Sigma's properties are comprised of 28 mineral rights. Sigma's project has been evaluated as a potential high grade, hard rock lithium mining project which hosts numerous prospective lithium bearing pegmatites within its land package of over 18,800 hectares.  A technical report on the project was completed by SGS Canada Inc. in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and includes a mineral resource estimate for the Xuxa pegmatite on the Grota do Cirilo property of the project. The technical report is available under Margaux's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
