Sigma Lithium resumes Minas Gerais ops after court reinstates licenses

Sigma Lithium restarted mining and industrial operations in Minas Gerais after a federal court reinstated environmental licenses suspended on September 8. The company reaffirmed its 330,000-ton annual lithium concentrate target by end-2027. This removes a near-term supply disruption for lithium, a key battery metal, though legal uncertainty persists.
