CENTURY LITHIUM PRODUCES LITHIUM HYDROXIDE AT DEMONSTRATION PLANT IN NEVADA
Century Lithium (OTCQX: CYDVF, TSXV: LCE) announced on October 20, 2025 that its Demonstration Plant in Amargosa Valley, Nevada produced lithium hydroxide for the first time from lithium carbonate derived from the company's 100%‑owned Angel Island lithium claystone project.
The company reported on‑site batch conversion using conventional liming with calcium hydroxide to make high‑purity +99.5% lithium hydroxide, using its patent‑pending alkaline leach and DLE process. Century Lithium said it is also pursuing a direct lithium conversion route to bypass the carbonate intermediate and reduce energy and operating costs.
Century Lithium (OTCQX: CYDVF, TSXV: LCE) ha annunciato il 20 ottobre 2025 che il suo impianto dimostrativo ad Amargosa Valley, nel Nevada, ha prodotto per la prima volta idrossido di litio a partire dal carbonato di litio derivato dal progetto di litio in argilla Angel Island di proprietà al 100% dall'azienda.
L'azienda ha riferito di una conversione batch in loco usando la lisciviazione convenzionale con idrossido di calcio per ottenere idrossido di litio ad alta purezza (>99,5%), impiegando il suo processo di leaching alcalino e DLE in fase di brevetto. Century Lithium indica inoltre di perseguire una strada di conversione diretta del litio per bypassare l’intermedio carbonato e ridurre energia e costi operativi.

Century Lithium (OTCQX: CYDVF, TSXV: LCE) a annoncé le 20 octobre 2025 que son usine de démonstration à Amargosa Valley, dans le Nevada, a produit pour la première fois de l’hydroxyde de lithium à partir du carbonate de lithium dérivé du projet argileux au lithium Angel Island, dont l’entreprise détient 100 %.
L’entreprise a rapporté une conversion en batch sur site en utilisant une lixiviation alcaline conventionnelle avec de l’hydroxyde de calcium pour produire un hydroxyde de lithium de grande pureté (>99,5 %), utilisant son processus de lixiviation alcalin et DLE en instance de brevet. Century Lithium indique également poursuivre une voie de conversion directe du lithium pour contourner l’intermédiaire carbonate et réduire l’énergie et les coûts d’exploitation.
Century Lithium (OTCQX: CYDVF, TSXV: LCE) gab am 20. Oktober 2025 bekannt, dass seine Demonstrationsanlage im Amargosa Valley, Nevada, zum ersten Mal Lithiumhydroxid aus Lithiumcarbonat produziert hat, das aus dem zu 100% im Besitz des Unternehmens befindlichen Angel Island Lithium-Claystone-Projekt stammt.
Das Unternehmen berichtete von einer Vor-Ort-Teilreaktion mittels konventioneller Kalziumhydroxid-Laugung zur Herstellung von hochreinem Lithiumhydroxid (>99,5%), unter Verwendung seines patentierbaren alkalischen Extraktions- und DLE-Prozesses. Century Lithium sagte, es verfolge auch eine Direktumwandlung des Lithiums, um die Carbonat-Intermediates zu umgehen und Energie- sowie Betriebskosten zu senken.
Century Lithium (OTCQX: CYDVF, TSXV: LCE) أعلنت في 20 أكتوبر 2025 أن مصنعها التوضيحي في وادي أماغروسا، نيفادا، قد أنتج هيدروكسيد الليثيوم للمرة الأولى من كربونات الليثيوم المستخلصة من مشروع Angel Island من نوع claystone بملكية الشركة 100%.
قالت الشركة إنها قامت بتحويل دفعات على الموقع باستخدام استخلاص قلوي تقليدي مع هيدروكسيد الكالسيوم لإنتاج هيدروكسيد الليثيوم عالي النقاء (>99.5%)، باستخدام عمليتها المائية القلوية وDLE قيد البراءة. كما قالت Century Lithium إنها تسعى أيضاً إلى مسار تحويل مباشر لليثيوم لتجاوز وسيط الكربونات وتقليل الطاقة وتكاليف التشغيل.
Century Lithium (OTCQX: CYDVF, TSXV: LCE) 于 2025年10月20日宣布，其位于内华达州阿马戈萨谷的示范工厂首次从公司100%拥有的Angel Island锂粘土岩项目提取的碳酸锂中生产出氢氧化锂。
公司在现场进行了批量转化，使用常规石灰水解方式以氢氧化钙为原料制造出高纯度（>99.5%）的氢氧化锂，并采用其专利申请中的碱性浸出和DLE工艺。Century Lithium还表示，他们也在探索直接的锂转化路线，以绕过碳酸盐中间体并降低能源与运营成本。
- First lithium hydroxide produced at Demonstration Plant (Oct 20, 2025)
- Product purity reported at +99.5% lithium hydroxide
- Feedstock sourced from 100%‑owned Angel Island claystone project
- Production reported at a Demonstration Plant in batch mode, not commercial scale
- Current route uses lithium carbonate intermediate, adding a conversion step and energy use
"The lithium hydroxide samples produced by our team represent another important milestone for the Company," said Bill Willoughby, President and CEO of Century Lithium. "Up until this point, Century's efforts have focused on making lithium carbonate as the end product for Angel Island. By producing high-purity lithium hydroxide, we show that Angel Island can supply another major lithium product for the domestic market."
The lithium hydroxide samples were produced from lithium carbonate derived from Angel Island's lithium claystone deposit and treated at the Demonstration Plant using Century Lithium's patent-pending alkaline leach and Direct Lithium Extraction ("DLE") process. The lithium hydroxide samples were produced on-site in a batch process using conventional liming conversion with calcium hydroxide to make high-purity, +
The Company is also pursuing a direct lithium conversion ("DLC") process to produce lithium hydroxide directly from lithium chloride solution. Such a process would thereby bypass lithium carbonate as an intermediate stage, simplify operations, and reduce energy consumption and operating costs.
With the demand for mobile and stationary energy storage growing, Century Lithium's project at Angel Island is strategically positioned as
