SIGMA Lithium Corporation, dedicated to powering the next generation of electric vehicles with environmentally and socially sustainable high-purity lithium, has commenced commissioning of its Greentech Plant on schedule and within budget.
Focusing on the project, Ana Cabral-Gardner, Co-CEO and Co-Chairperson of Sigma Lithium, said, “We have rapidly advanced the commissioning of the Greentech Plant, as planned, on schedule and on budget this month. Our technical team, led by Calvyn Gardner and Brian Talbot, has worked tirelessly and relentlessly this quarter to make that happen. Our stelar team is what makes Sigma so unique: Simultaneously, our ESG teams have worked intensely to ensure the communities of Itinga and Araçuaí have been concomitantly lifted through Sigma’s transformative new social initiatives: allocating funding to build 2,000 rainwater collection systems and to empower 10,000 women through microcredit.”
Adding further to Ana’s words, Co-CEO and Co-Chairperson Calvyn Gardner said, “We have been working laser focused towards delivering Battery Grade Sustainable Lithium following the conclusion of the commissioning of our Greentech Plant in April 2023.”
Sigma Lithium is currently in construction at its wholly owned Grota do Cirilo Project in Brazil, which includes a state-of-the-art, green-tech processing plant that uses 100% renewable energy, 100% recycled water and 100% dry-stack tailings. The company also represents one of the largest and highest-grade hard rock lithium spodumene deposits in the Americas. It has been at the forefront of environmental and social sustainability in the EV battery materials supply chain.
