Addition Of Lithium Carbonate State At Extraction Facility In Amargosa Valley

VANCOUVER - Century Lithium Corp. reported the successful addition of a lithium carbonate stage at the Lithium Extraction Facility (Pilot Plant) in Amargosa Valley, Nevada, part of the Angel Island Mine. During the first days of startup of the lithium carbonate stage, Century's team at the Pilot Plant successfully treated 200 liters of concentrated lithium solution and produced 20 kg of high-grade lithium carbonate onsite.

"At this point in time, the ability to make lithium carbonate at our Pilot Plant is an important step forward, in line with recommendations from our recently completed Feasibility Study,” said President and CEO Bill Willoughby. "The drop in lithium prices over the last year has taken a toll on the share price of all lithium companies. Despite the downturn, domestic production is still key to the security of supply in the U.S. While it is becoming well known that a vast amount of lithium is contained within the claystone deposits of Nevada, the benefit in unlocking these resources is the ability to produce a battery quality lithium product onsite and thereby reducing or eliminating the need for downstream processing."
