Century Lithium Corp. (TSXV: LCE) (OTCQX: CYDVF) (Frankfurt: C1Z) (“Century Lithium”) announce its collaboration with Koch Technology Solutions (“KTS”), a Koch Engineered Solutions (“KES”) company, in the application of the Li-Pro™ process for direct lithium extraction (“DLE”) at Century Lithium’s Lithium Extraction Facility (“Pilot Plant”) in Amargosa Valley, Nevada, USA.
Bill Willoughby, President & CEO of Century Lithium, said:
Century Lithium’s collaboration with KTS and KES has been productive, and we look forward to working together as we broaden our relationship.

In March 2022, Century Lithium purchased a license to the Lionex DLE process (“Lionex”) and KTS subsequently acquired exclusive rights to the Lionex technology, which has been integrated into KTS’ Li-Pro™ process. Through an agreement completed February 6, 2023, the companies will work together to evaluate the added features of the Li-Pro™ process at Century Lithium’s Pilot Plant.
With the information obtained, KTS will provide engineering for a full-scale deployment of the Li-Pro™ process for Century Lithium’s Clayton Valley Lithium Project (“Project”) located in Esmeralda County, in west-central Nevada.
Adam Sackett, President of Koch Technology Solutions, said:
Century Lithium has done a great job identifying and validating a world-class lithium resource.
“As the energy transformation accelerates, we are excited to collaborate with them on the path to commercializing Li-Pro™ technology with our expanding set of complementary capabilities.”
As part of the program, certain key components of the Li-Pro™ process will be tested at Century Lithium’s Pilot Plant. KTS will also provide engineering design and costs for the full-scale DLE portion of the processing plant for Century Lithium’s Project.
This program is independent from the Project’s ongoing Feasibility Study and will begin upon delivery of KTS equipment to the Pilot Plant. Century Lithium will fund the study, installation, and operation of the equipment at the Pilot Plant, and KTS will provide training and technical support.
