Century Lithium Pilot Plant Reports 99.5% Lithium Carbonate

Century Lithium Corp. (TSXV: LCE) (OTCQX: CYDVF) (Frankfurt: C1Z) (Century Lithium or the Company) is pleased to report on the making of battery grade lithium carbonate (Li₂CO₃) at the Company’s Lithium Extraction Facility (Pilot Plant) in Amargosa Valley, Nevada, USA a part of the Company’s wholly owned Angel Island project in Nevada. The assays from the second batch of lithium carbonate made at the Pilot Plant indicate a purity of 99.5%, which is considered battery grade.

“These results mark yet another accomplishment by our Pilot Plant team” said President and CEO Bill Willoughby. “Until recently, we have focused on producing a concentrated lithium chloride solution, a representative portion of which we shipped offsite for conversion. We chose to focus on lithium carbonate as the end-product for our project, as it is a natural fit given the approach we developed for processing. With the ability to generate lithium carbonate samples onsite, the Pilot Plant is a more complete representation of the processes involved in a full-scale operation, and we can now supply lithium carbonate samples for testing by prospective partners and end-users.”

Following the procedures used in the first batch of testing, (see September 3, 2024, news release), batch 2 treated two more 40-liter lots of concentrated lithium solution from the DLE area at the Pilot Plant in the newly added lithium carbonate stage. The treatment included precipitation with sodium carbonate, washing and drying of the 4 kilograms of lithium carbonate produced from each lot. After addressing a mechanical issue, assays from the two lots from the second batch show an improvement in lithium carbonate purity to 99.5%. Impurities of concern, including sodium and calcium, were reduced.

Lithium Carbonate Assay Results from Pilot Plant
Sample ID	Li2CO3 %	Total non-Li ppm	Sodium ppm	Calcium ppm
Batch 2 #1	99.5	4,721	965	2,300
Batch 2 #2	99.5	4,778	566	2,200
Analyses were conducted by third-party laboratories using multielement ICP on both solids and liquids. Lithium carbonate purity was determined by subtracting the sum of impurities from 100% of the sample.

Century Lithium continues work at the Pilot Plant, focusing on design and engineering that will support reduced capital requirements in the overall process.
