CENTURY LITHIUM PROVIDES UPDATE ON ANGEL ISLAND AND
LITHIUM EXTRACTION FACILITY
February 4, 2025 – Vancouver, Canada – Century Lithium Corp. (TSXV: LCE) (OTCQX: CYDVF) (Frankfurt:
C1Z) (“Century Lithium” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide an update on its wholly owned Angel
Island project near Silver Peak, Nevada, USA and associated Lithium Extraction Facility (“Pilot Plant”) in
Amargosa Valley Nevada. The Company has completed the successful implementation of process
improvements at its Pilot Plant. These changes were developed in collaboration with Amalgamated
Research, LLC (“ARi”) of Twin Falls, Idaho, a research and development company specializing in industrial
implementation of process technologies. Century Lithium is now shifting the focus at its Pilot Plant from
research and development to demonstration.
“The initial results from ARi are very encouraging, indicating greater efficiency can be achieved that could
result in positive reductions in the estimated capital and operating costs at Angel Island,” said Century
Lithium President and CEO, Bill Willoughby. “Century Lithium remains committed to delivering value to our
shareholders through Angel Island, one of the few advanced lithium projects in the United States. We are
optimistic about the long-term fundamentals of the lithium market and the strategic importance of Angel
Island to the future mineral supply in the United States.”
Project Update
The processing testing program (“Program”) implemented ARi’s proprietary adsorption-based technology
for Direct Lithium Extraction (“DLE”) and was accomplished in conjunction with ARi’s Twin Falls testing
facilities and Century Lithium’s Pilot Plant. The results of the Program are positive and further validate the
efficiency of Century Lithium’s extraction technology. The Program augmented Century Lithium’s DLE
system with the addition of ARi equipment and expertise. Early results indicate Century Lithium can
eliminate the recycle loops within its DLE and lithium carbonate areas, while increasing eluate grades. The
Company believes this will result in a substantial reduction in estimated capital and operating costs at Angel
Island.
The decision to shift the focus at the Pilot Plant to demonstration mode is two-fold; it will allow the
Company to focus on providing dedicated testing to prospective strategic partners or potential end-users
and reduce the ongoing operating costs of the Pilot Plant. Current Pilot Plant operations will continue to
convert a backlog of lithium solutions, which were made prior to the commissioning of the on-site lithium
carbonate process at the Pilot Plant, into battery-grade lithium carbonate.
Moving Forward
The Company recently announced a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Orica
Specialty Mining Chemicals (see news release). The non-binding MOU outlines the intent of Century
Lithium and Orica to formalize a multiyear offtake agreement for Orica to purchase sodium hydroxide from
Angel Island. The favorable outlook for the sodium hydroxide by-product contributes significantly to
Century Lithium’s low-cost lithium carbonate production model.

Ongoing engineering is focused on mining, and the leaching, filtration, DLE, and lithium carbonate
processing areas. The Company continues to compile all data generated at the Pilot Plant. The data will be
used in engineering models and to run analytical tests on full-scale construction designs focused on further
reducing the estimated capital and operating costs for producing lithium carbonate at Angel Island.
Century Lithium remains focused on seeking strategic partnerships with potential end-users and market
participants interested in securing a domestic supply of battery-grade lithium carbonate. The Company
continues to move forward with permitting work to ensure that our future operations at Angel Island will
align with both regulatory requirements and Century Lithium’s environmental and social stewardship
goals.

ABOUT CENTURY LITHIUM CORP.
Century Lithium Corp. is an advanced stage lithium company, focused on developing its wholly owned
Angel Island project in Esmeralda County, Nevada, which hosts one of the largest sedimentary lithium
deposits in the United States. The Company has utilized its patent-pending process for chloride leaching
combined with direct lithium extraction to make high purity lithium carbonate product samples from Angel
Island lithium-bearing claystone on-site at its Pilot Plant in Amargosa Valley, Nevada.
Angel Island is one of the few advanced lithium projects in development in the United States to provide an
end-to-end process to produce battery quality lithium carbonate for the growing electric vehicle and
battery storage market. Angel Island is currently in the permitting stage for a three-phase feasibility-level
production plan expected to yield an average of 34,000 tonnes per year of lithium carbonate over a 40-
year mine-life.
Century Lithium trades on both the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “LCE” and the OTCQX under
the symbol “CYDVF”; and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “C1Z”.
