Sigma Lithium has marked a significant transition from developer to producer with its first successful production of Battery Grade Sustainable Lithium Concentrate, known as Green Lithium. This achievement was made possible through the commissioning of the Dense Medium Separation (DMS) circuit, completing Phase 1 of the Grota do Cirilo project in Brazil. The plant reached 75% of its nameplate capacity and is expected to reach full capacity by July 2023.
The inaugural shipment of around 15,000 tonnes of Green Lithium is anticipated in May 2023, with a commitment to sell 100% of ultra-fine tailings from Phase 1, totaling approximately 300,000 tonnes. The produced Green Lithium aims to meet the premium specifications required by advanced battery manufacturers.
Sigma Lithium has received its environmental operating license for the Grota do Cirilo project in Brazil, allowing for the production of Battery Grade Sustainable Lithium Concentrate. The license was granted on March 31, 2023, with unanimous approval from all NGO members. Initial production is on track to begin in April 2023. The company aims to expand production capacity from 270,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) to 766,000 tpa through its Greentech Plant Expansion. Additionally, Sigma is enhancing its social initiatives, including a microcredit program for female entrepreneurs, a domestic violence prevention program, and climate resilience initiatives for farmers. This project is expected to create around 6,000 indirect jobs, bolstering economic development in the Jequitinhonha Valley.
Sigma Lithium Corporation (NASDAQ: SGML) announced a delay in filing its annual information form, audited consolidated financial statements, and the related management's discussion for 2022, previously due on March 31, 2023.

The Company aims to complete the filings by the end of April 2023. In response, the Nasdaq issued a notice of non-compliance regarding Listing Rule 5250(c)(1); however, this does not currently affect the trading of its shares. The Company has 60 days from the notice date to submit a compliance plan, with a possible extension until September 27, 2023.
