Why Century Lithium

Advanced Stage

The Angel Island project is in a favorable mining jurisdiction, hosts one of the largest lithium deposits in the USA, and a projected 40+ year mine-life. The Project has completed a Feasibility Study and holds one of the lowest estimated operation costs in North America (OPEX of $2,833/t), due to its unique process, deposit chemistry, and sodium hydroxide by-product sales. Century Lithium is actively advancing the Project towards the permitting stage.

Process

Having a large resource is not enough, one needs the ability to extract the lithium from the claystone. Century Lithium uses an innovative and sustainable chloride-based leach process to extract the lithium from the claystone coupled with Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) process via Li-PROTM from Koch Technology Solutions. 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 on site.

Facility

Century Lithium has one of the largest, fully permitted and active Lithium Extraction Facility (Demonstration Plant) in North America. Material from the Project can be tested under various conditions, on a 24-hour per day basis, from one day to weeks at a time at a rate of one ton per day.

Resources

Water in Nevada is a limited resource, Century Lithium has acquired water rights in Clayton Valley which will provide a majority of the Project's future water requirements. Anticipating future energy needs, Century Lithium has purchased a geothermal lease in Clayton Valley and is pursuing options for solar power generation near the Project.
