Sigma Lithium is honored to be featured in Mining Journal’s Mining Journal Intelligence Global Leadership Report. In the conversation, we demonstrated how we achieved Net Zero at Sigma Lithium. We are, in fact, the only global lithium company producing lithium with social sustainability and minimal environmental footprint: zero carbon, zero dirty power, zero tailings dams, zero use of drinking water and zero toxic chemicals—- the Quintuple Zero Green Lithium. Sigma Lithium has a carbon footprint of 0.261 of CO2 per tonne of lithium concentrate. That’s not only the lowest in the industry, it’s about 180 times less than the amount of greenhouse gasses (GHG) produced at a standard lithium industrial operation. We then offset that 0.26t of CO2 footprint with the purchase of carbon credits from the Brazilian Amazon ecosystem. Protecting the Guardians of the forest. Sigma Lithium Corp. (Nasdaq:SGML) is also the world’s first and only major lithium producer to dry stack its tailings instead of using tailings dams, which continue to be the blight of the mining and processing industry. We are also proud to say we are the world’s most water-efficient producer of lithium. We use sewage-grade water only and we reuse it. That’s extremely important given that most of the world’s known lithium deposits are in arid or semi-arid climates. We power our Greentech facility with 100% renewable electricity. We still have further to go. We use a blend of biofuel and diesel in our trucks. And we aim to increase the amount of biofuels in the blend to 50%, further reducing our relatively miniscule footprint by another 35%. We were also delighted to be featured in the Mining Journal’s Global Leadership Report with such an impressive gathering of women leaders, including Freeport-McMoRan's Kathleen Quirk, ICMM’s Bryony Clear Hill, The Carbon Trust’s Catherine Murphy, Ivanhoe Mines’ Marna Cloete, Stantec’s Debra Johnson, Wood Mackenzie’s Islay McIsaac, Hindustan Zinc’s Priya Agarwal Hebbar and Torex Gold Resources Inc’s Jody Kuzenko. This is an extraordinary review of the efforts taken by those leading the transformation of our industry from Mining Journal Intelligence Editor Sam Williams and the experienced and knowledgeable journalists at Aspermont Limited. https://lnkd.in/ePp_2PVn
