CENTURY LITHIUM RELOCATING DEMONSTRATION PLANT

TO TONOPAH, NEVADA

October 27, 2025 – Vancouver, Canada – Century Lithium Corp. (TSXV: LCE) (OTCQX: CYDVF) (Frankfurt:

C1Z) (“Century Lithium” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company has begun moving

its Lithium Extraction Facility (“Demonstration Plant”) to the Company’s facility at the Tonopah Airport,

Nevada. This relocation will consolidate the Company’s operations, improve logistical efficiency, reduce

costs and strengthen support for ongoing and future activities.

“The relocation of the Demonstration Plant will allow the Company to consolidate support for the

development of Angel Island,” said Bill Willoughby, President and CEO of Century Lithium. “Thanks to the

knowledge and efforts of our team, led by Senior Vice President Todd Fayram, Century’s process has

undergone various configurations while performing a multitude of tests towards the development of

Century Lithium's patent-pending process for chloride leaching and Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE).”

Century Lithium’s end-to-end process begins by treating Angel Island claystone under optimized conditions

using hydrochloric acid, followed by neutralization using sodium hydroxide, with both the acid and base

components sustainably produced on-site through the electrolysis of salt water. Following filtration, the

resulting lithium chloride solution is treated by DLE to selectively recover lithium and refined to produce

high-purity, battery-grade lithium carbonate suitable for electric vehicle and energy storage applications.

By relocating the Demonstration Plant, Century Lithium will gain more space to conduct research and

development on battery materials, including lithium metal and lithium iron phosphate. The new location

will also allow the construction of a larger assay and metallurgical laboratory at Tonopah to support Angel

Island’s current and future laboratory needs.

Century Lithium’s 20-acre site at the Tonopah Airport is home to Century Lithium’s field office for Angel

Island. It was integral for the preparation and handling of the bulk sample material treated in the 3-year-

long pilot plant program at Amargosa Valley. Going forward, Century Lithium’s Tonopah Airport facility will

be used for research and development for Angel Island, project support and administration.

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-grade 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 estimated life-of-mine 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”.
