Century Lithium Corp is pushing ahead with its 100%-owned Angel Island lithium project, advancing key development milestones in one of the largest known sediment-hosted lithium resources in the United States. 

“Century Lithium's team remains focused on achieving several key steps ahead as we continue to advance the development of Angel Island,” said Bill Willoughby, Century Lithium President & CEO.  

“The company is progressing on multiple fronts. Our team and consultants have completed and submitted all baseline work in advance of Angel Island's Plan of Operations. The Company also continues to make progress on an update to the 2024 Feasibility Study. We believe Angel Island is an asset that will create high-quality US jobs, support domestic critical-mineral supply chains, and position Century Lithium as an American domestic producer of battery-grade lithium carbonate.” 

Angel Island benefits from favorable geology, geography, and logistics, with Century Lithium advancing a full end-to-end development strategy to convert lithium-bearing claystone into battery-grade lithium carbonate. Central to the project is the Company’s patent-pending chlor-alkali extraction technology, which converts sodium chloride into essential reagents in a closed-loop system, enhancing sustainability while cutting costs and reducing reliance on external chemicals. 

All baseline and environmental studies have been completed and accepted by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. The Company is finalizing its Plan of Operations (PoO), which will detail mine layout, plant configuration, water and waste management, infrastructure, and environmental-mitigation measures. Submission of the PoO will trigger the federal permitting process under the National Environmental Policy Act, with Century Lithium working to meet timelines outlined on the Federal FAST-41 Dashboard. 

Century Lithium has fully dismantled its Demonstration Plant and relocated it to its Tonopah, Nevada facility, a 20-acre site at the Tonopah Airport housing the Company’s Angel Island field office. The facility previously supported bulk sample processing at Amargosa Valley and is being evaluated for expanded research and development capabilities. 

The 2024 Feasibility Study update is progressing, with a focus on optimizing the mine plan, reducing land use, improving plant design, and lowering operating costs. Key changes include fluid-management and Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) design improvements, informed by years of Demonstration Plant testing.  

Plans are in place to connect the project to NV Energy’s Greenlink West transmission line, linking Las Vegas to the Fort Churchill substation near Yerington. Lithium carbonate remains the primary product, with surplus sodium hydroxide providing additional revenue from the chlor-alkali process.
