| Statement |

| In other words, we have low cost, and therefore, we have been delivering consistent revenues in large volumes, both in by-products and also in the main concentrate |
| We have basically been producing the very best product in the lithium industry as far as concentrate |
| So with our material, which is zero, you eventually end up in a fantastic position as far as abating - the final abating of the carbon loads with carbon credits |
| So we're in a fantastic position here as far as renewable power, lower than anywhere |
| And what is Sigma? And just - let's leave commodity cycle aside for a moment because, again, we demonstrated that we'll thrive, no matter what, right? Sigma is a company that has a clean shareholder registry |
| There's blockchain in through now, there's tracing throughout the supply chain, and we bode really well for that trading |
| So we're very, very proud of this quarter |
| In fact, on that, I just came back from almost two weeks in China, Chengdu, all over, where we ascertained on the ground the fantastic receptivity of our product as far as behavior throughout the refining |
| So we're very proud of what we've built |
| We are profitable on the first operating quarter, which means that we have an incredible degree of operational efficiency and discipline |
| The environmental zero carbon, zero tailings, low chemicals is for free, right? So it's a fantastic attribute for clients delivering their sales up into the European Union |
| So even a 9% price of lithium hydroxide, our premium lithium concentrate can drive measurable savings to converters, to downstream in the current market, which is a tremendous competitive advantage on quality, on value in use |
| And that's the result of tremendous financial discipline |
| I mean we are profitable, and we also have a superior product |
| So that makes us very proud |
| This basically demonstrates our resilience to the lithium cycles |
| We bring significant cost saving to downstream clients |
| We have a tremendous advantage when supplying to these cell makers in South Korea, Japan, China, everywhere with this product |
| So very profitable, with significant recurring cash generation and liquidity |
| So the product is better, and it's also environmentally competitive, which is an advantage for the European Union-bound batteries |
| The next page is a bit more on quality, on low cost and on this tremendous competitive advantage, which translates into commercial success and also on low cost and cycle - lithium cycle resilience as far as generating free cash flow |
| We're very proud to have been able to deliver a product that's not only the leader or the reference environmentally |
| The next page shows then the summary of all that I've been saying, where does it all lead us? Well, it leads us into a tremendous competitive advantage when it comes to cell making up - bound for batteries to be packed in Europe or bound of cars that are going to be sold in Europe |
| So here we are delivering on our promise to make this supply chain a whole lot more sustainable and paving the way for the zero-carbon battery |
| So again, very, very, very proud of what our operational team on site, our two general managers running mining plants have achieved |
| So it's a very unique competitive position |
| We're very, very proud of being profitable in the first operating revenue quarter, and that's thanks to you all into your unwavering support over the years |
| More importantly, as we have one of the lowest costs in the industry, we are able to essentially maintain this operational resilience and generate cash flow, no matter what |
| We actually made it mainstream again in the industry because it preserved the integrity of the mineralization of the product, and it allowed us to deliver this incredible superior quality |
| So we are clearly extremely proud of what we've achieved here |
| Statement |
|---|
| Well, we learned quite a lot, as you all know, specifically when it comes to the trans-packing of the tailings, which significantly delayed us reaching nameplate capacity of the production |
| That just shows that this is a global concern |
| So here at Sigma, we actually have a very high-class problem because we need to strive to adjust down the lithium concentrate grade to 5.5% |
| I think there was a bit of confusion about what's Matt doing at Sigma |
| Obviously, that we need to - we're now showing simulations against a price backdrop that has gone down, and that obviously affects our margins, right? So when you - we were not running in so many at $1,500 per tonne of Triple Zero lithium concentrate |
| So the challenge is to bring it down to 5.5, which is, again, a very high-class product, a testament to the quality of our feedstock |
| We don't get properly paid for delivering more grade as the industry is delivering 5.5 and below |
| Even when you look at softer demand backdrop, even when you look at what we call the full bear cave, we're always going to be here |
| Again, when you do by-product math on our cost, you get to a number that's literally on top of - that's literally matching the all-in sustaining cost we put out at the DFS, which is a testament to our obsession with operational efficiency |
| So despite us selecting dense media separation, which back in the day seemed like a very unique, riskier selection |
| In other words, there's not enough of our Triple Zero Green Lithium to satisfy demand |
| Why? Because the 9% premiumization doesn't capture the full cost savings that the client has |
| It appears the speaker line has again dropped |
| So I got disconnected accidentally |
| And our commercial team is still camped in China, basically working with our partners for the low grade, ultrafine and with Glencore for the high-grade Triple Zero concentrate, and the response has been spectacular from carmakers, battery makers than the solars or refiners themselves |
| There's spectacular demand for that product, given its purity |
