Sigma Lithium Corporation temporarily suspended all mining and industrial production on September 30 due to a 15-day delay by the Federal Court of Appeals in reviewing its legal defense related to an environmental lawsuit. Despite the suspension, the company plans to deliver 330,000 tonnes of lithium oxide concentrate in 2027 but will delay its 12-month production guidance of 240,000 tonnes by three months. Sigma will continue commercial and recycling operations to maintain cash flow during the suspension. The legal dispute involves claims from a local NGO about environmental impacts on Quilombola communities, which Sigma denies based on legal and technical grounds. The company remains committed to its expansion plans and social investments in the Jequitinhonha Valley region.
