HIGHLIGHTS OF PLANNED PRODUCTION EXPANSION
Sigma Lithium announces positive economic results of its study to potentially triple integrated production (the "Production Expansion Study") of Battery Grade Sustainable Lithium Concentrate from 270,000 tpa (36,700 tpa LCE) commencing in 2023 to 768,000 tpa (104,200 tpa LCE) in the second year at the Company's 100% owned Grota do Cirilo Project (the "Project").
The Project expansion may potentially position Sigma Lithium as one of the world's largest fully integrated lithium producers (from mine to lithium materials).
The Production Expansion Study demonstrated robust Project economics, highlighted by an after-tax NPV8% of US$ 15.3 billion, incorporating production from Phase 1 (nearing commissioning initiation) combined with Phase 2 and Phase 3.
Total Capex for the Project expansion is estimated at US$ 155 million and could be fully funded as follows:
A portion of the US$ 100 million Debt Financing
After-tax free cash flow once production is initiated in early 2023.
The Construction of the Project expansion could potentially be initiated with earthworks and ordering of long lead items in the first quarter of 2023, once a final decision is made by the Company.
At the expanded capacity, the key economics of the Project are as follows:

US$100 MILLION DEBT FINANCING
The Debt Financing will fully fund the Company until August 2023, including the initiation of detailed engineering and initiation of construction of the Project expansion. The Debt Financing is also expected to fund working capital requirements for the entire commissioning period of the Greentech Plant as well as for general corporate purposes.
The initial drawdown of $60 million under the Debt Financing is expected to close this year. The remaining drawdown is subject to certain remaining conditions precedent.
The Debt Financing is available by way of a multi-draw term loan and contemplates a 48-month maturity date and a borrowing rate of 12-month BSBY plus 6.95% per annum (which may be increased by an additional 3.5% per annum to the extent that there is a delay in the satisfaction of certain conditions subsequent).
The Debt Financing is a senior secured obligation, secured by, among other things, all assets of Sigma Brazil including a pledge of all of the shares of Sigma Brazil, as well as a guarantee from the Company until certain release conditions are met.
Amounts borrowed under the Debt Financing must be repaid by 50% of net cash generated from export receivables generated from operating and investing activities of the Company.
Furthermore, the Debt Financing must be permanently repaid in part, to the extent any additional debt financing is raised by Sigma Brazil exceeding the threshold of approximately US$ 120 million.
The Debt Financing is otherwise due in full on the Maturity Date, subject to the prior occurrence of an event of default or change of control transaction.
The definitive agreements for the Debt Financing include other customary financing terms and conditions, including those related to security, fees, prepayment premiums, representations, warranties, covenants, and conditions.
MAIDEN PHASE 3 MINERAL RESERVES AND UPDATED MINERAL RESOURCES
The Phase 3 mineral reserve has been declared as a result of the positive economic results of the analysis to be published in the Updated Technical Report. The Phase 3 mineral resource was updated after Sigma Lithium completed an additional 13 drillholes (3,531 meters), which enabled the conversion of previous Inferred mineral resource estimates into the Indicated category down-dip and at the top of the south zone of the deposit. The additional drilling also allowed the Company's geological and metallurgical engineering consultant, SGS Canada Lakefield ("SGS"), to model two small satellite zones, one in the hanging wall of the north zone and one in the hanging wall of the south zone.

US$100 MILLION DEBT FINANCING
The Debt Financing will fully fund the Company until August 2023, including the initiation of detailed engineering and initiation of construction of the Project expansion. The Debt Financing is also expected to fund working capital requirements for the entire commissioning period of the Greentech Plant as well as for general corporate purposes.
The initial drawdown of $60 million under the Debt Financing is expected to close this year. The remaining drawdown is subject to certain remaining conditions precedent.
The Debt Financing is available by way of a multi-draw term loan and contemplates a 48-month maturity date and a borrowing rate of 12-month BSBY plus 6.95% per annum (which may be increased by an additional 3.5% per annum to the extent that there is a delay in the satisfaction of certain conditions subsequent).
The Debt Financing is a senior secured obligation, secured by, among other things, all assets of Sigma Brazil including a pledge of all of the shares of Sigma Brazil, as well as a guarantee from the Company until certain release conditions are met.
Amounts borrowed under the Debt Financing must be repaid by 50% of net cash generated from export receivables generated from operating and investing activities of the Company.
Furthermore, the Debt Financing must be permanently repaid in part, to the extent any additional debt financing is raised by Sigma Brazil exceeding the threshold of approximately US$ 120 million.
The Debt Financing is otherwise due in full on the Maturity Date, subject to the prior occurrence of an event of default or change of control transaction.
The definitive agreements for the Debt Financing include other customary financing terms and conditions, including those related to security, fees, prepayment premiums, representations, warranties, covenants, and conditions.
MAIDEN PHASE 3 MINERAL RESERVES AND UPDATED MINERAL RESOURCES
The Phase 3 mineral reserve has been declared as a result of the positive economic results of the analysis to be published in the Updated Technical Report. The Phase 3 mineral resource was updated after Sigma Lithium completed an additional 13 drillholes (3,531 meters), which enabled the conversion of previous Inferred mineral resource estimates into the Indicated category down-dip and at the top of the south zone of the deposit. The additional drilling also allowed the Company's geological and metallurgical engineering consultant, SGS Canada Lakefield ("SGS"), to model two small satellite zones, one in the hanging wall of the north zone and one in the hanging wall of the south zone.
