HIGHLIGHTS

  • Sigma Lithium announces that it has commenced loading its 8th shipment, totaling 22,000 tonnes of its Quintuple Zero Green, high purity and coarse lithium concentrate, at the Port of Vitoria.

Keith Prentice, Co-General Manager commented: "The site team has been executing at a high level, with the Greentech Plant delivering at the predictable cadence of an established producer."

Catarina Noci, Commercial Director commented: "We believe the market is now just starting to attribute value to Sigma's superior product qualities. We can build on the traction gained in April, with early indications pointing to better economics for our upcoming May shipment."

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.

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.
