A World Class Hard Rock Lithium Asset With Superior High-Grade Mineralogy

• 521,000t of LCE Resource M & I & I

• Average grade of 1.56% Li2O, placing Xuxa as one of the highest grade hard-rock projects globally

Fast Track to Production & Low Capex

• Measured resource in feasibility stage

• Pilot Plant on site in 1H 2018 producing test samples

• Internal estimate of C$65mm capex to achieve ~220,000 tpa spodumene production by 2020 (1)

Leading Brazilian Mining Executives With a Successful Track Record of 30 years

Building Multi-Billion-Dollar Businesses in Brazil

• Unique combination of some of the most experienced professionals, geologists, mining engineers, metallurgists in Brazil

• Former CEO of AMG Minerals, Former CEO of CBMM, Former General Manager/ COO of Anglo American Highveld Steel

Significant Resource Expansion Potential

• Sigma property has nine past-producing lithium mines and more than 200 identified pegmatites

• NI 43-101 report estimates 38 - 57 million tonnes of additional potential lithium resource (2)

(1) Reader is cautioned that the technical data contained herein is management’s current internal estimates. This technical data cannot, therefore, be treated as compliant with National Instrument 43-101 – Standard of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and should not be relied upon.

(2) Reader is cautioned estimates are based on limited geological information and can not be considered official figures in accordance with National Instrument 43-101. The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource. The potential quantity and grade has been determined based on available drilling, channel samples, grab samples and surface mapping.

Concurrently, Potential to Achieve Considerable Resource

Expansion in 2018Validating Existing Resources: Drilled Ore Bodies at Grota do Cirilo Property Were Previously Lithium Working Mines

(1) Reader is cautioned estimates are based on limited geological information and can not be considered official figures in accordance with National Instrument 43-101. Illustration based on approximate mid-points from NI 43-101 estimated range of additional potential resource by deposit. The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineralresource. The potential quantity and grade has been determined based on available drilling, channel samples, grab samples and surface mapping.

(2) Mineral resources, which are not mineral reserves, do not have demonstrated economic viability. Inferred mineral resources are exclusive of the Measured and Indicated resources. A fixed density of 2.72 t/m3 was used to estimate the tonnage from block model volumes. Geological CoG estimated from Li2O values of the composite vs. value in block.

Internal estimate of ~220k tonnes spodumene production per annum (approximately 25,000-30,000 tonnes LCE)

Given world-class properties, Sigma will subsequently assess production expansion opportunities incorporating additional Grota do Cirilo ore bodies into mine and processing plans

Sigma Lithium Will Require Low Capex to Reach Production

Sigma’s low upfront capex required to generate peer-leading lithium production per capital invested: flexibility in funding the capex through multiple sources

Select Peers – Initial Capex/Production Rate (US$/tpa LCE)

Source: Company disclosure.

Note: Assumed 8 to 1 conversion from spodumene concentrate to LCE; Currency conversion as at March 1, 2018.

(1) Bacanora and Pilbara multiples based on each project’s Stage 1 capex and average production figures.

(2) Orocobre multiple based on Olaroz project’s Phase 2 capex and average production figures.

(3) Nemaska production rate of 34k tpa LCE based on 23k tpa of lithium hydroxide and 11k tpa of lithium carbonate, Capex based on Whabouchi mine and concentrator only.
