On March 31, 2023, Sigma Lithium was awarded its environmental operating license (LO), permitting the company to produce Green Lithium, with unanimous vote of approval including from all the NGOs with a seat at the CMI. The LO enables the company to sell all Green Lithium product from current and future production, including any stockpiled product. After a successful SUPPRI inspection in February 2023, LO certificate number 4078 was issued, thus concluding the licensing process and approving Sigma Lithium to commence commercial operations at its Phase 1 Mine and Greentech Plant.
The Company is also pleased to report that commissioning of the Phase 1 dense medium separation ("DMS") circuit of its Greentech Plant remains on schedule with initial production expected to commence in April 2023. This follows the successful completion of crushing circuit commissioning of the Greentech Plant as announced on February 13, 2023.
Sigma Lithium has held the required dual environmental licenses for both construction and initiation of its wholly owned Grota do Cirilo project since 2019. Sigma Lithium obtained both the construction license ("Licenca Previa" or "LP") as well as the installation and commissioning license ("Licenca Instalacao" or "LI") for its Greentech Plant from the Conselho Estadual de Politica Ambiental (COPAM), which is the Council of Environmental Policy of the State of Minas Gerais in Brazil. The dual LP and LI certificates permitted the Company to build and install the Phase 1 Mine and Greentech Plant, conduct trial mining, test the Greentech Plant, including stockpiling product as part of the commissioning and ramp up of production capacity. COPAM issued the dual LP and LI certificates for a period of six years expiring on May 31, 2025.
As a result of this significant milestone and the project nearing commercial production, Sigma Lithium was honoured to receive a visit from the Governor of the State of Minas Gerais and his senior leadership team, including members of the Minas Gerais State legislative assembly, congressmen representing the region in Brazil's National Congress, representatives of the State General Attorney office, the commander in chief of the Military Police for the 60 municipalities of Vale do Jequitinhonha, and the mayors of Itinga and Araçuaí.
Discussions were centered around the broader development of the region of Vale do Jequitinhonha and the pivotal role of the lithium value chain. Estimates from the State of Minas Gerais envision that Sigma Lithium's investments will generate approximately 6,000 indirect jobs, in addition to about 650 direct permanent and contract jobs averaging over the forecasted life of the Grota do Cirilo Phase 1 operation (in addition to over 1,000 jobs created in the construction phase of the Greentech Plant).
APPOINTMENT OF ENGINEERING FIRMS TO LEAD GREENTECH PLANT EXPANSION STUDIES AND CONSTRUCTION
Sigma Lithium has appointed DRA Global Limited ("DRA") to work alongside Promon Engenharia Ltda. ("Promon") on the design and construction of the Phase 2 & 3 expansion of the Greentech Plant, which is expected to be fully funded internally through cash flow generation.
The final objective for DRA and Promon in detailed engineering will be to determine an FEL-3 (front-end loading) level capex for the Phase 2 & 3 expansion and to obtain quotes for a fully costed estimate. This FEL-3 capex will generate an actionable list of long-lead items for deposits or prepayments supporting the predictability of capex and the construction timetable. Positive results of the completed engineering report, along with the feasibility study results, economic analysis and other reports, are expected to be used by the Board to support a potential decision to proceed with the Greentech Plant Expansion. The detailed engineering report is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2023.
DRA was selected for its international experience in advanced mineral processing, specifically with lithium DMS plant design, and its construction management experience. DRA has a track record of on-time and on-budget execution of assignments in the mining, metals and chemical sectors.
SCALING UP OF SOCIAL INITIATIVES TO DELIVER ON UNITED NATIONS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

MICROCREDIT FOR 10,000 FEMALE ENTREPRENEURS
Sigma Lithium has established the largest privately funded microcredit program in Brazil, targeting female entrepreneurs in the Jequitinhonha Valley region, with a target total enrollment of up to 10,000 women. The program reaches approximately 50% of the economically active female population of the broader urban and rural areas of the towns of Itinga and Aracuai. The initiative is developed jointly with NGO "Dona de Mim," part of "Mulheres do Brasil", the largest civil society movement in the country with over 120,000 women as members of its network.
Through this program, the Company will encourage sustainable development by providing microcredit loans of R$2,000 (approximately US$400) per person along with mentorship programs to support the entrepreneurs on their journey to financial self-sustainability. The total investment by the Company is estimated at approximately R$25,000,000 (approximately US$5 million) to be deployed over the next 12 months, including ongoing entrepreneurship training and monitoring costs.
The Company is proud to report that a total of 730 female entrepreneurs have now enrolled in the program, and that 500 participants have already received a microcredit loan. Most recently, 500 women from the microcredit program attended the Governor's visit with Sigma Lithium. This program aims to advances the goals of UN SDG #5 (Gender Equality) and UN SDG #10 (Reduced Inequalities).
COMBATING VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN PROGRAM
Sigma Lithium announced its plans to introduce a program, in partnership with the State-General Attorney of the state of Minas Gerais ("TJMG") and the Military Police of Minas Gerais (PM-MG), to combat domestic violence against women in the Jequitinhonha Valley region. This program advances the goal of UN SDG #5 (Gender Inclusion), UN SDG #10 (Reduced Inequalities) and UN SDG #16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions).
ZERO DROUGHT FOR SMALLHOLDER FARMERS ("SECA ZERO")
The Company announced during its participation at COP-27 in Egypt its "Zero Drought for Smallholder Farmers" program, a climate mitigation initiative of building 2,000 rainwater capture basins for smallholder family farmers in the municipalities of Itinga and Araçuaí in the Jequitinhonha Valley. The program reaches approximately 50% of the local rural agricultural lands of the towns of Itinga and Aracuai. These water capture basins will be dug into the ground and located at strategic points to prevent soil erosion during the heavy rainfall season, store water for irrigation of small crops during the nine-month dry season and contribute to increasing the volume of water that will feed the region's aquifers.
The total investment by the Company is estimated at R$4,000,000 (R$2,000 per structure). The Company is delivering the structures to the municipalities as a donation, which are currently being built via third-party contractors under the supervision of Sigma Lithium's ESG teams. This program advances the goal of UN SDG #10 (Reduced Inequalities), UN SDG #15 (Life on Land) and UN SDG #13 (Climate Action).
WATER FOR ALL ("AGUA PARA TODOS")
Additionally, the Company committed to donating 3,000 water tanks as a further climate mitigation initiative, aimed to increase water security for communities in the Jequitinhonha Valley. The Company also committed to maintain water supply of the tanks by providing water trucks year-round, enhancing water security for the communities. This program, which is now in progress, advances the goals of UN SDG #6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) and UN SDG #13 (Climate Action).
