Sigma Lithium is located in an emerging world-class shale lithium in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Lithium Ion Resources, CBL and Latin Resources are actively exploring and discovering new lithium deposits.
Feature #2
Property #2 covers metadata mapped to the Salinas Formation (Module 1), which consists of mica-quartz and quartz-mica schists, as well as local Mexican metaconglomerates and quartzites (CPRM geological map, scale 1:250:000; 2016). This is the same unit of the Salinas Formation that has been mined by CBL for lithium spodumene for nearly 30 years, and contains the Grota do Cirilo de Sigma deposit. Brascan intends to immediately begin prospecting, sampling, detailed mapping and multispectral analysis of satellite data to identify potential exploration targets.
Brascan was granted an option to acquire 100% right, title and title in Property No. 2 by (1) paying a total of $150,000 in cash, (2) issuing a total of 3,000,000 shares of common stock and (3)) It incurred a total exploration expenditure of US$100,000 over a period of 3 periods.
