CENTURY LITHIUM REPORTS LITHIUM METAL FROM ANGEL ISLAND DEMONSTRATED IN BATTERY CELLS UNDER U.S. ARMY SBIR PROGRAM
Rhea-AI Summary
Century Lithium (OTCQX: CYDVF) reported that lithium carbonate from its 100% owned Angel Island Lithium Project in Nevada was successfully converted into lithium metal by Alpha-En using its proprietary membrane extraction and electrodeposition process. The lithium metal anodes were then incorporated by EaglePicher Technologies into cylindrical battery cells.
According to Century Lithium, the Army SBIR-funded work produced lithium metal anodes that met EaglePicher's performance specifications. Initial discharge tests showed higher operating voltages and improved power performance versus control cells, supporting demanding U.S. defense battery applications and contributing to a more secure, domestic lithium battery supply chain.

"Alpha-En has done outstanding work converting lithium carbonate from Angel Island into high-purity lithium metal, which was then incorporated by EaglePicher in cells tested under the
The lithium metal anodes produced from Angel Island lithium carbonate by Alpha-En met EaglePicher's performance specifications and were integrated into EaglePicher's cylindrical cells for testing. Initial discharge results demonstrated higher operating voltages and improved power performance compared to the control cells, key attributes for demanding defense applications which require lightweight, high-energy, and high-power battery systems.
"This Army SBIR-supported effort demonstrates that high-performance lithium metal anodes can be manufactured directly from US-sourced lithium resources," said Landon Oakes, Chief Technology Officer of Alpha-En. "By integrating domestic raw materials with our membrane extraction and electrodeposition platform, we are establishing a secure, vertically integrated pathway for next-generation battery anodes that reduces reliance on foreign supply chains."
This successful demonstration represents a significant step toward strengthening the domestic defense battery supply chain. By connecting US-based lithium resources, advanced lithium metal manufacturing, and domestic cell fabrication, the collaboration supports the US Army's objective of securing critical mineral independence while advancing high-performance battery technologies for future defense systems.
