Sigma is developing a world-class industrial-scale hard-rock lithium project. The significant deposits in Brazil can be counted among some of the highest-grade spodumene pegmatites in the world.
Scope of Work
Primero Canada is currently retained by Sigma Lithium (Sigma) to progress a definitive feasibility study for the Xuxa Lithium Project located at Grota Do Cirilo in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Recent highlights include:
- Receiving environmental and revised mining approval (previously operating mine;
- Commencement of additional met testwork programs for recent resource upgrades;
- Execution of a binding head of agreement with Mitsui;
- Increased size of measured and indicated resource to 45.7m tonnes;
- Commissioned 10tph Pilot Plant onsite; and
- Progressing of detailed engineering of the concentrator.
The DFS scope of work included the following:
