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.

[SMM Analysis] Million-Tonne Lithium Mine Project EIA Accepted, Pressing Fast-Forward on Snoway Development

The Sinowei Lithium Mine (Dechelongba Spodumene Mine) has retained resources of 24.924 million mt of ore, with an average Li2O grade of 1.34%. Designed for open-pit mining, it has a capacity of 1.5 million mt/year. The project has now entered the environmental impact assessment (EIA) acceptance stage, and construction is progressing as planned. SMM believes that the capacity release pace of this mine meets market expectations, as the market has already fully priced in the commissioning pace of such large mines. The subsequent real marginal variables remain the actual mining progress and the pace of profit recovery in the lithium chemical processing segment.
