CENTURY LITHIUM PRODUCES
LITHIUM CARBONATE ONSITE AT PILOT PLANT
August 6, 2024 – Vancouver, Canada – Century Lithium Corp. (TSXV: LCE) (OTCQX: CYDVF) (Frankfurt:
C1Z) (Century Lithium or the Company) is pleased to report the successful addition of a lithium carbonate
stage at the Company’s Lithium Extraction Facility (Pilot Plant) in Amargosa Valley, Nevada, USA, part of
the Company’s 100%-owned Angel Island Mine (the Project). Prior to this addition, concentrated lithium
solutions from the Pilot Plant were treated by Saltworks Inc. at their facility in Richmond B.C. where
samples of battery quality lithium carbonate were produced. During the first days of startup of the lithium
carbonate stage, Century’s team at the Pilot Plant successfully treated 200 liters of concentrated lithium
solution and produced 20 kg of high-grade lithium carbonate onsite.
“At this point in time, the ability to make lithium carbonate at our Pilot Plant is an important step forward,
in line with recommendations from our recently completed Feasibility Study” commented President and
CEO Bill Willoughby. “The drop in lithium prices over the last year has taken a toll on the share price of all
lithium companies. Despite the downturn, domestic production is still key to the security of supply in the
U.S. While it is becoming well known that a vast amount of lithium is contained within the claystone
deposits of Nevada, the benefit in unlocking these resources is the ability to produce a battery quality
lithium product onsite and thereby reducing or eliminating the need for downstream processing.”
The Company continues work at the Pilot Plant, utilizing the Company’s patent-pending process for
chloride leaching combined with Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) to generate data as the Company works
to identify further technological breakthroughs to make the extraction of lithium from clay more economic.
Adding the lithium carbonate stage at the Pilot Plant is one of the recommendations made in the Feasibility
Study, not only to further demonstrate that battery quality lithium carbonate can be made, but to better
understand and minimize the recycle streams from the DLE stage through to final product in the process.
With the assistance of engineers from Hargrove Engineers and Constructors, Century’s team configured
equipment to run 40-liter batches of concentrated lithium solution though precipitation, washing and
drying steps. Final assays on the lithium carbonate are pending.
