NEWS RELEASE
CENTURY LITHIUM AND KOCH TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS COLLABORATE ON
Li-Pro™ PROCESS FOR COMMERCIAL DIRECT LITHIUM EXTRACTION
February 9, 2023 – Vancouver, Canada – Century Lithium Corp. (TSXV: LCE) (OTCQX: CYDVF) (Frankfurt:
C1Z) (“Century Lithium”) is pleased to announce its collaboration with Koch Technology Solutions (“KTS”),
a Koch Engineered Solutions (“KES”) company, in the application of the Li-Pro™ process for direct lithium
extraction (“DLE”) at Century Lithium’s Lithium Extraction Facility (“Pilot Plant”) in Amargosa Valley,
Nevada, USA.
“Century Lithium’s collaboration with KTS and KES has been productive, and we look forward to working
together as we broaden our relationship,” said Bill Willoughby, President & CEO of Century Lithium. “Our
DLE process in the Pilot Plant is performing very well and we are excited to work with Koch as we advance
the Project.”
In March 2022, Century Lithium purchased a license to the Lionex DLE process (“Lionex”) and KTS
subsequently acquired exclusive rights to the Lionex technology, which has been integrated into KTS' Li-
Pro™ process. Through an agreement completed February 6, 2023, the companies will work together to
evaluate the added features of the Li-Pro™ process at Century Lithium’s Pilot Plant. With the information
obtained, KTS will provide engineering for a full-scale deployment of the Li-Pro™ process for Century
Lithium’s Clayton Valley Lithium Project (“Project”) located in Esmeralda County, in west-central Nevada.
“Century Lithium has done a great job identifying and validating a world-class lithium resource,” said Adam
Sackett, President of Koch Technology Solutions. “As the energy transformation accelerates, we are excited
to collaborate with them on the path to commercializing Li-Pro™ technology with our expanding set of
complementary capabilities.”
As part of the program, certain key components of the Li-Pro™ process will be tested at Century Lithium’s
Pilot Plant. KTS will also provide engineering design and costs for the full-scale DLE portion of the processing
plant for Century Lithium’s Project. This program is independent from the Project’s ongoing Feasibility
Study and will begin upon delivery of KTS equipment to the Pilot Plant. Century Lithium will fund the study,
installation, and operation of the equipment at the Pilot Plant, and KTS will provide training and technical
support.
