Century Lithium CEO Bill Willoughby joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company has begun relocating its Lithium Extraction Facility Demonstration Plant to its Tonopah Airport facility in Nevada. This strategic move is designed to consolidate operations, improve logistical efficiency, reduce costs, and strengthen technical support for current and future projects. Willoughby explained that the relocation will streamline operations for the development of Angel Island, Century Lithium’s flagship lithium claystone project. The company’s end-to-end extraction process begins by treating Angel Island claystone under optimized conditions with hydrochloric acid, followed by neutralization using sodium hydroxide—both sustainably produced on-site through saltwater electrolysis. The resulting lithium chloride solution is processed via direct lithium extraction (DLE) and refined into high-purity, battery-grade lithium carbonate for electric vehicle and energy storage applications. By moving the Demonstration Plant, Century Lithium will also gain expanded space for R&D initiatives, including the development of lithium metal and lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery materials. The new location will enable the construction of a larger assay and metallurgical laboratory, enhancing the company’s testing and analytical capabilities to support Angel Island’s long-term growth. Century Lithium’s 20-acre site at Tonopah Airport has long served as a field office for Angel Island, previously used to prepare and process bulk material during the company’s three-year pilot plant program at Amargosa Valley. Looking ahead, the Tonopah facility will serve as a hub for research and development, project support, and administrative operations, reinforcing Century Lithium’s commitment to advancing a sustainable, U.S.-based lithium supply chain. #proactiveinvestors #centurylithiumcorp #tsxv #lce #otcqx #cydvf #mining #oricaspecialtymining
