Sigma Lithium Corp
Deep in the lush landscapes of Brazil, Sigma Lithium Corp. has carved a path as one of the emerging players in the global push towards cleaner energy solutions. Founded in 2012, the company has strategically positioned itself at the forefront of lithium extraction, a material crucial to the production of electric vehicle batteries and energy storage systems. By tapping into the mineral-rich regions of Minas Gerais, Sigma Lithium has harnessed the power of high-purity lithium deposits, which enables the company to feed the insatiable demand from battery manufacturers around the world. Their precision in operations and commitment to sustainable practices reflect a company attentive to the environmental concerns of today, seamlessly integrating traditional mining methods with innovative, greener approaches.
Sigma Lithium operates by extracting lithium from its vast Grota do Cirilo property, the largest hard rock lithium operation in the Americas. Once extracted, the lithium undergoes a rigorous processing phase, effectively increasing its purity to meet the stringent standards required for battery-grade products. The company then sells this high-purity lithium concentrate to a network of global clients, predominantly in the electric vehicle and energy storage sectors. By aligning itself with the megatrends of sustainability and electrification, Sigma has turned a geological resource into a profitable business model, capitalizing on strategic partnerships and market positioning to drive forward both its financial growth and the global energy transition.

Revenue/Cash: Sigma generated strong cash from operations despite a weak 2025 lithium price environment—$31 million in operating cash in Q4 2025 and reported $67 million in net sales tied to Q4 2025 and Q1 2026 commercial timing.
Production: Full-year 2025 production was 183,000 tonnes (down from 240,000 tonnes in 2024); management expects Phase 1 to deliver roughly 200,000–240,000 tonnes in the next 12 months.
Cost & Guidance: Management gave an all-in sustaining cost guidance of $532 per tonne plus $60 per tonne interest for 2026 and an estimated AISC (including interest) of $592 per tonne for the next 12 months.
Offtakes & Funding: Sigma signed $146 million of offtakes in 2025 ($96 million for 70,500 t and $50 million for 40,000 t/yr over 3 years) and expects to close additional prepayments to fund Plant 2 and debt repayment.
Balance sheet: Management reported meaningful deleveraging (60% reduction in short-term debt and 35% reduction in total debt during 2025) and ended Q1 2026 with $12 million cash, with material prepayments expected in Q2 2026.
Growth plan: Plant 2 expected to be ordered in summer (post-Q2) and commissioned in roughly 8–12 months — target full commissioning early 2027; Plant 2 CapEx ~$80 million, Plant 3 ~$100 million (total ~$180 million to move from ~240 kt to ~770 kt nameplate).
Sustainability & Ops: Management emphasized ‘Quintuple Zero’ sustainability credentials (no tailings dams, no drinking water use, no hazardous chemicals, 100% clean power, zero lost-time accidents ~2.7 years) and a 70% recovery at the Greentech plant.
New revenue line: Sigma monetized dry-stack tailings by reprocessing fines into a sellable high-purity lithium-fines product; Q1 2026 sales from fines contributed $30 million of cash inflows.
