Optimization study identifies sources of lower cost. Century Lithium recently completed an initial internal optimization study of its Angel Island Lithium project. The review identified cost reductions of up to 25%, or $395.2 million, associated with the project’s Phase I capital expenditures totaling $1,580.7 billion. Recall the most recent feasibility study dated April 29, 2024, contemplates three phases of production with the capital costs associated with the second and third phases amounting to $657.0 million and $1,338.5 billion, respectively.
Key areas of focus. Among other potential cost savings, the study identified opportunities to reduce capital costs through changes in the flow sheet, equipment selection, and updated vendor quotes in the processing areas of filtration, direct lithium extraction, and the chlor-alkali plant. The study also identified potential areas where modification of site facilities and the elimination of inefficiencies could streamline the process from mining to the production of battery-grade lithium. We expect that some of these efficiencies may extend to Phases II and III thus offering the potential for additional savings.
