Sigma Lithium Corp (TSX-V:SGML, NASDAQ:SGML) said it plans to list Sigma Brazil on both the NASDAQ and Singapore Stock Exchange.  The leading Brazil-focused #lithium production company updated shareholders on key developments in a comprehensive update on its ongoing strategic review process.  In a bid to maintain optimal structural flexibility and bolster competitiveness, Sigma Brazil is set to initiate the requisite procedures for a primary listing on both the NASDAQ and the Singapore Stock Exchange.  The dual listing strategy is strategically aligned to maximize shareholder value, Sigma told investors, especially if the strategic review culminates in a scenario solely involving Sigma Brazil.  The firm said it is presently engaged in advanced contractual negotiations with the finalists identified during its Strategic Review Process. These negotiations are set to extend into the coming year.  More at #Proactive #ProactiveInvestors http://ow.ly/qW8y10568W1 #TSXV #NASDAQ #SGML

Many topics to learn from those who really know, in a global node of the Lithium Industry. Where knowledge is created, applied and experience is. SQM-HEUMA-UCN-UA. #Lithium #ESG #Electromobility.

Atlas Lithium secures key strategic partnerships with two lithium industry powerhouses - Yahua Lithium, a supplier to Tesla, and Chengxin Lithium, a supplier to BYD. Together, they will invest US$10 million in common shares at a premium and prepay US$40 million for future deliveries of Atlas Lithium's battery-grade spodumene concentrate. These landmark deals provide full financing for Atlas Lithium's estimated CAPEX of US$49.5 million for spodumene concentrate production which is expected to begin in Q4 2024. Both partnerships strategically align Atlas' lithium to Tier 1 battery customers. The agreements also include early termination clauses in case of an M&A transaction. Goldman Sachs acted as financial advisor to Atlas Lithium. $ATLX #Lithium #EV #BatteryMetals #GreenEnergy https://lnkd.in/gWxvwW6t

Last Wednesday (14.02), I had the privilege of representing Aurora Lithium at a high-level roundtable in Brussels with Commissioner Thierry Breton alongside key representatives of the value chain, centered on the critical matter of access to battery and raw materials.   Here are my key takeaways from the session on Battery Value Chain: Obstacles and Enabling Conditions.   🔋 With spodumene concentrate demand surging, the race for resources is on. There is a significant risk of critical EU-extracted materials being processed abroad, particularly in refining powerhouse nations like China. This not only threatens local initiatives like ours but also undermines broader EU energy transition goals, including achieving at least 40% conversion capacity. Therefore, it is imperative to develop local value chains and to promote mechanisms to ensure that critical raw materials mandated to be extracted within Europe should be processed within Europe as well, especially for those at supply risk.   🌐 On the funding front, the existing support mechanisms implemented by the EU, particularly under the aegis of the European Green Deal and its funding instruments, are truly significant. However, to maintain competitiveness and provide tailored support for Strategic Projects, these frameworks must evolve to keep pace with rapid market changes.   I extend my sincere gratitude to Commissioner Breton for inviting Aurora Lithium to participate in this important round table discussion - it provided an invaluable opportunity to shape the future of the battery value chain.   #EnergyTransition #BatteryTech #SustainableDevelopment #StrategicPartnerships
