CENTURY LITHIUM PILOT PLANT REPORTS
99.5% LITHIUM CARBONATE
September 23, 2024 – Vancouver, Canada – Century Lithium Corp. (TSXV: LCE) (OTCQX: CYDVF)
(Frankfurt: C1Z) (Century Lithium or the Company) is pleased to report on the making of battery grade
lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) at the Company’s Lithium Extraction Facility (Pilot Plant) in Amargosa Valley,
Nevada, USA a part of the Company’s wholly owned Angel Island project in Nevada. The assays from the
second batch of lithium carbonate made at the Pilot Plant indicate a purity of 99.5%, which is considered
battery grade.
“These results mark yet another accomplishment by our Pilot Plant team” said President and CEO Bill
Willoughby. “Until recently, we have focused on producing a concentrated lithium chloride solution, a
representative portion of which we shipped offsite for conversion. We chose to focus on lithium carbonate
as the end-product for our project, as it is a natural fit given the approach we developed for processing.
With the ability to generate lithium carbonate samples onsite, the Pilot Plant is a more complete
representation of the processes involved in a full-scale operation, and we can now supply lithium
carbonate samples for testing by prospective partners and end-users.”
Following the procedures used in the first batch of testing, (see September 3, 2024, news release), batch
2 treated two more 40-liter lots of concentrated lithium solution from the DLE area at the Pilot Plant in the
newly added lithium carbonate stage. The treatment included precipitation with sodium carbonate,
washing and drying of the 4 kilograms of lithium carbonate produced from each lot. After addressing a
mechanical issue, assays from the two lots from the second batch show an improvement in lithium
carbonate purity to 99.5%. Impurities of concern, including sodium and calcium, were reduced.

Analyses were conducted by third-party laboratories using multielement ICP on both solids
and liquids. Lithium carbonate purity was determined by subtracting the sum of impurities
from 100% of the sample.
Century Lithium continues work at the Pilot Plant, focusing on design and engineering that will support
reduced capital requirements in the overall process.
