CENTURY LITHIUM REPORTS BATTERY-GRADE LITHIUM METAL ANODES PRODUCED FROM ANGEL ISLAND LITHIUM CARBONATE
VANCOUVER, BC, July 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ – Century Lithium Corp. (TSXV: LCE) (OTCQX: CYDVF) (Frankfurt: C1Z) (“Century Lithium” or “the Company”) is pleased to report progress by Alpha-En Corporation of Hopewell Junction, New York, on its successful conversion of Century Lithium’s lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) into battery-grade lithium-metal anodes (“Li-MA”). The Li-MA was produced using lithium carbonate derived from Century Lithium’s wholly owned lithium project, Angel Island in Esmeralda County, Nevada and the associated Demonstration Plant in Nye County, Nevada.
Bill Willoughby, Century Lithium President and CEO, said:
We are proud that Century Lithium was selected as a domestic source of lithium for Alpha-En’s program to produce lithium-metal anodes,
“This collaboration reflects the quality of our material and the strength of our technical capabilities as we continue to support innovation across the US battery materials supply chain.”
Century Lithium provided Alpha-En with a sample of 99.8% pure lithium carbonate from Angel Island. The sample was converted by Alpha-En into lithium metal using Alpha-En’s patented room-temperature conversion process, resulting in Li-MA with a high areal capacity and extraction efficiency. In the pilot test, Century Lithium material exceeded the quality of battery-grade lithium carbonate from a commercial non-domestic source.
Landon Oakes, Chief Technology Officer of Alpha-En Corporation, said:
We are very pleased with the performance of the lithium metal produced from Century Lithium’s lithium carbonate.
“Its purity and consistency translated directly into high-quality lithium-metal anodes.We look forward to continued collaboration with Century Lithium as they advance Angel Island.”
Century Lithium is progressing Angel Island through ongoing permitting, engineering, and technical development at its Demonstration Plant. The Company maintains a positive long-term outlook on lithium-based batteries, which it believes will play a critical role in the growth of the electric vehicle (“EV”) and stationary energy storage markets. Century Lithium looks forward to further supporting Alpha-En’s efforts to develop a domestic lithium supply chain.
