This resource update can be reflected in the company's valuation and potentially change the coming-up acquisition landscape.

On 31 January, Sigma Lithium announced its Grota do Cirilo project in Brazil had increased its mineral resources by 27%, making the project “the world’s 4th largest operating industrial pre-chemical lithium beneficiation complex” with 100% wholly-owned, fully integrated spodumene mining operations.

The project now has 109 million tonnes of measured, indicated and inferred mineral lithium resource, which is expected to add tangible value for existing and future shareholders. Considering the company is evaluating acquisition offers and has seen interest from companies including CATL, BYD and Volkswagen, this resource update can be reflected in the newest valuation and potentially change the acquisition landscape.

BAIC R&D Unveils High-Performance Sodium-Ion Battery Prototypes with Industry-Leading Specs

SMM learned that BAIC R&D recently announced the successful development of sodium-ion battery prototypes. The first prismatic battery pack using prismatic battery cells achieved an energy density exceeding 170 Wh/kg, placing it in the industry’s top tier. It also supports 4C ultra-fast charging, enabling recharging in 11 minutes. Its temperature-range adaptability and safety performance are outstanding, with stable operation across an ultra-wide range from -40°C to 60°C, energy retention above 92% at -20°C, and no risk of thermal runaway under extreme scenarios. At present, this sodium-ion battery has completed sample finalization, established mass-production processes for prismatic products, and filed 20 patents around core technologies. BAIC has also leveraged this to complete a full technology roadmap covering lithium batteries, solid-state batteries, and sodium-ion batteries, and has mastered a complete set of core sodium-ion battery technologies.
