SIGMA
LITHIUM INVITED BY NASDAQ TO RING OPENING BELL DURING UNITED NATIONS CLIMATE WEEK CELEBRATING ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN SUSTAINABILITY
VANCOUVER, CANADA
– (September 22, 2023) – Sigma Lithium Corporation (“Sigma Lithium” or the “Company”)
(NASDAQ: SGML, BVMF: S2GM34, TSXV: SGML), a leading global lithium producer dedicated to powering the next generation of electric
vehicles with carbon neutral, socially and environmentally sustainable chemical-grade lithium concentrate, was invited to celebrate its
sustainability achievements by ringing the Nasdaq opening bell during NYC Climate Week.
CEO
and co-Chairperson Ana Cabral and other company executives participated in the bell ringing ceremony on September 20, 2023.
“Sigma
Lithium is humbled and grateful for this invitation by Nasdaq to ring the opening bell during Climate Week,” Cabral said. “Every
day we wake up motivated to honor Brazil’s global role in the ecological and energy transition and to help protect our little blue
planet. Ten years ago, our team and investors at Sigma Lithium started this journey together to build the most sustainable lithium company
in the world, to prove that it is possible to power electric cars with carbon neutral, responsibly sourced materials, aligned with consumers’
expectations.”
“We
are excited to have the opportunity to showcase our climate action goals alongside other international sustainability leaders during
Climate Week NYC. Sigma Lithium plans to become the foundation for Brazil to host the world’s most sustainable lithium supply chain,
extending our environmental expertise to produce Triple Zero Green Lithium Chemicals,” she added.
Sigma
Lithium began producing battery-grade, carbon neutral, zero hazardous chemicals and zero tailings sustainable lithium (“Triple
Zero Green Lithium”) in April of this year, in a process that uses 100% renewable energy and recycled water at its Greentech lithium
processing plant (“Greentech Plant”). The Company announced a deal to achieve “Zero Tailings” by selling the
high-purity, zero hazardous chemicals, approximately 1.3% lithium oxide, ultra-fine tailings generated by the Greentech Plant (“Green
By-Products”) to be upcycled into battery grade lithium concentrate for use in electric vehicle battery production. Sigma began
delivering shipments of Triple Zero Green Lithium and Green By-Products in July 2023 and recently announced a new shipment agreement,
achieving net zero carbon 27 years ahead of the 2050 target set by the global metals and mining industry.
Sustainability
in Practice
Sigma Lithium’s
long-term strategy focuses on sustainability as one of its main pillars. The Company was founded by a group of impact investors after
the tragedy of the Mariana tailings dam collapse, with the main objectives of:
| (i) | Producing
lithium with the lowest possible greenhouse gas (carbon) emissions. |
| (ii) | Eliminating
tailings dams through the investment and development of industrial process technologies for
dry stacking of tailings. |
Sigma Lithium's production process is
completely sustainable, does not use hazardous chemicals, uses 100% efficiency in renewable energy and recirculates 100% of the water
used at its Greentech lithium processing plant. The Greentech plant has state-of-the-art digitized equipment where mined lithium ore
is transformed into high purity, battery grade lithium concentrate for the electric vehicle industry.
The Company
does not have a tailings dam; tailings are dry-stacked instead. All the tailings generated as a by-product of lithium production are
then sold or donated. The absence of hazardous chemical products for processing lithium prevents contamination of water and
soil and contributes to preserving rivers and forests in the region.
Sigma Lithium invested
BRL3 billion (USD205 million) in the development and construction of the first lithium project in the world without a tailings dam.

limited to statements relating to timing and costs related to the general business and operational outlook of the Company, the environmental
footprint of tailings and positive ecosystem impact relating thereto, donation and upcycling of tailings, timing and quantities relating
to tailings and Green Lithium, achievements and projections relating to the Zero Tailings strategy, achievement of ramp-up volumes, production
estimates and the operational status of the Grota do Cirilo Project, and other forward-looking information. All statements that address
future plans, activities, events, estimates, expectations or developments that the Company believes, expects or anticipates will or may
occur is forward-looking information, including statements regarding the potential development of mineral resources and mineral reserves
which may or may not occur. Forward-looking information contained herein is based on certain assumptions regarding, among other things:
general economic and political conditions; the stable and supportive legislative, regulatory and community environment in Brazil; demand
for lithium, including that such demand is supported by growth in the electric vehicle market; the Company’s market position and
future financial and operating performance; the Company’s estimates of mineral resources and mineral reserves, including whether
