2026 FEASIBILITY STUDY SUMMARY
The 2026 Feasibility Study confirms the technical and economic viability of developing the Angel Island project as a significant domestic source of battery-grade lithium carbonate in the United States.
Mining is planned as a conventional open-pit operation extracting lithium-bearing claystone mineralization. Mined material will be processed on-site using hydrochloric acid leaching, solid-liquid separation, Direct Lithium Extraction (“DLE”), lithium carbonate precipitation, and an integrated chlor-alkali plant, resulting in on-site production of battery-grade lithium carbonate.
The 2026 Feasibility Study reconfigures Angel Island into a two-phase development plan, consisting of an initial 7,500 tpd operation with expansion to 15,000 tpd. The third expansion phase contemplated in the 2024 Study was removed, simplifying project execution and reducing overall capital requirements.
Bill Willoughby, President and CEO of Century Lithium commented:
“The results of the 2026 Feasibility Study represent a material improvement. These results were made possible by Century Lithium’s team who, through many steps of optimization including those at the Company’s pilot plant, have delivered a more efficient development plan for the Project. In the 2026 Feasibility Study, this streamlined process is reflected in equipment and related infrastructure, importantly in electrical demand, and is seen in the resulting capital and operating cost estimates.”
CAPITAL AND OPERATING COSTS
A Class 3 capital cost estimate was prepared in accordance with AACE guidelines, and Canadian Institute of Mining Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) Best Practices. The updated costs were developed using second-quarter 2025 data.
Phase 1 (7,500 tpd) initial capital cost: $997 million
Phase 2 (15,000 tpd) expansion capital cost: $660 million
Reductions to estimated capital costs in the 2026 Feasibility Study relative to the 2024 Study are attributable to:
Elimination of a previously planned third production phase
Simplification of project scope and installed capacity
Refinement of the mine scheduling and equipment selection
Processing flowsheet optimization informed by pilot plant operations
Updated vendor pricing and construction cost inputs
Operating costs benefit materially from Angel Island’s planned vertically integrated chlor-alkali facility, which generates hydrochloric acid and produces surplus sodium hydroxide for sale.
Average operating cost – Phase 1: estimated $30.58/t of mill feed
Average operating cost – Phase 2: estimated $22.16/t of mill feed
MINERAL RESOURCES AND MINERAL RESERVES
Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates used in the 2026 Feasibility Study are unchanged from the prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and CIM Definition Standards.
Mineral Resources (inclusive of Mineral Reserves):
Measured and Indicated: 1.138 billion tonnes at 966 ppm lithium, containing 5.582 million tonnes LCE
Inferred: 187.28 million tonnes at 820 ppm lithium
Mineral Reserves:
Proven and Probable: 287.65 million tonnes at 1,149 ppm lithium, containing 1.759 million tonnes LCE
Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability
ECONOMIC ANALYSIS indicates Angel Island remains economically attractive across a wide range of commodity price and cost assumptions, with lithium price representing the most significant driver of Angel Island’s value.
Using a base-case lithium carbonate price of $24,000/t and an 8% discount rate, Angel Island generates:
After-tax NPV: $4.01 billion
After-tax IRR: 27.4%
Profitability Index: 4.0
Sensitivity analysis indicates Angel Island remains economically attractive across a wide range of commodity price and cost assumptions, with lithium price representing the most significant driver of Angel Island’s value.
NEXT STEPS
Century Lithium will continue to advance Angel Island toward development through submission of plan of operations, permitting, detailed engineering, and engagement with interested parties as the Project progresses toward a construction decision. Integral to these key steps are:
Recent appointment of Cormac O’Laoire, PhD to advise the Company in discussions with potential downstream partners and offtake interests. The Company continues to make inroads in Washington DC and Nevada to convey the importance of Angel Island for a secure North American supply chain.
Further evaluation of the economic potential for rare earth elements (“REE”) recovery at Angel Island.
Engagement of BMO Capital Markets to assist the Company in its efforts towards securing strategic interests and development funding.

SUMMARY OF 2026 NI 43-101 FEASIBILITY STUDY
This summary forms an integral part of this news release.
An NI 43-101 Feasibility Study on the Angel Island Lithium Project was prepared to update metallurgical results, mine planning assumptions, and capital and operating cost estimates relative to the 2024 Study.
Unless otherwise stated herein, Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates, geological interpretations, and environmental and permitting assumptions remain materially unchanged from the 2024 Study.
Property Description, Location, and Tenure
Angel Island is located in Esmeralda County, Nevada, USA, approximately 354 km southeast of Reno. Angel Island comprises 503 unpatented mining claims (276 placer and 227 lode claims) covering approximately 2,286 hectares, held 100% by Cypress Holdings (Nevada) Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Century Lithium Corp. Existing royalty arrangements remain unchanged.
Geology, Mineralization, and Deposit Type
Angel Island hosts a large, flat-lying sedimentary lithium claystone deposit within the Esmeralda Formation. Lithium mineralization occurs primarily within claystone, tuffaceous mudstone, and siltstone units. No material changes were made to the geological model, mineralization interpretation, or deposit classification from the 2024 Study.
Exploration, Drilling, Sampling, and Data Verification
The Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates are supported by 45 drill holes totaling approximately 3,955 meters, completed between 2017 and 2022. Drilling includes conventional core and sonic drilling. Sample preparation, analytical methods, QA/QC protocols, and data verification procedures remain unchanged from the 2024 Study and meet CIM and NI 43-101 standards.
Mineral Resource Estimate (Unchanged from 2024 Study)
The Mineral Resource estimate has an effective date of April 29, 2024, and remains unchanged in the 2026 Feasibility Study.
Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources:
1.138 billion tonnes at an average grade of 966 ppm lithium, containing 5.582 million tonnes LCE
Inferred Mineral Resources:
187.28 million tonnes at an average grade of 820 ppm lithium, containing 0.817 million tonnes LCE
Mineral Resources are constrained by a pit shell using a 200 ppm lithium cut-off grade and assume a bulk density of approximately 1.5 tonnes per cubic meter (“t/m³”). Mineral Resources are inclusive of Mineral Reserves. Higher recoveries demonstrated through pilot-scale testing were determined to not materially affect the selected cut-off grade or the reported Mineral Resource tonnage or grade.
Mineral Reserve Estimate (Unchanged from 2024 Study)
The Mineral Reserve estimate also has an effective date of April 29, 2024, and remains unchanged.
Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves:
287.65 million tonnes at an average grade of 1,149 ppm lithium, containing 1.759 million tonnes LCE
Mineral Reserves are reported at a 900 ppm lithium cut-off grade, which is approximately 4.5 times the calculated break-even cut-off grade, and support a mine life exceeding 60 years, with a 40-year production schedule used in the economic analysis.
Mining Methods and Production Schedule
Mining will be conducted as a conventional open-pit operation using free-digging equipment, including dozers, shovels, and haul trucks. No drilling or blasting is required.
The mine plan reflects a two-phase development strategy:
Phase 1: 7,500 tpd of mill feed
Phase 2: expansion to 15,000 tpd
A previously planned third expansion phase was eliminated. The production schedule prioritizes near-surface, higher-grade mineralization in the early years, reducing waste movement and improving capital efficiency.
Mineral Processing and Metallurgy
The processing flowsheet consists of:
High-pH attrition scrubbing
Hydrochloric acid leaching
Neutralization and pressure filtration with dry-stack tailings
Direct Lithium Extraction
Lithium carbonate precipitation, drying, and packaging
Reagent generation via on-site chlor-alkali plant
Metallurgical assumptions are supported by multi-year pilot plant operations through mid-2025. Leach extraction of approximately 90% was demonstrated, resulting in an overall lithium recovery of approximately 84%. A final lithium carbonate product grading >99.9% purity was consistently achieved.
Angel Island facilities include an integrated chlor-alkali plant producing hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. Surplus sodium hydroxide, as produced in excess in conjunction with the design production of hydrochloric acid, is expected to be sold, contributing substantial additional revenue and thereby reducing effective operating cost.
Capital Costs
A Class 3 capital cost estimate was prepared in accordance with AACE International guidelines. The updated costs were developed using second-quarter 2025 data:
Phase 1 (7,500 tpd) initial capital cost: estimated $997.4 million
Phase 2 (15,000 tpd) expansion capital cost: estimated $660.2 million
Reductions to estimated capital costs relative to the 2024 Study are attributable to the elimination of a third production phase, simplification of installed capacity, processing flowsheet optimization, and updated vendor and construction cost inputs.
The chlor-alkali plant cost is $481.5 million in Phase 1 and $256.8 million in Phase 2, included in Processing Facilities, and is vendor all-in turn-key constructed costs, inclusive of indirect costs, owners’ costs and contingency.
Operating Costs
Average operating cost estimates were updated based on refined mine scheduling, updated reagent consumption, and pilot-validated process parameters.
Average operating cost: approximately $22.45/t of mill feed, or $4,389/t of lithium carbonate.
Sodium hydroxide by-product revenue is equivalent to $5,393/t of lithium carbonate. If credited against operating costs (which was not done in the average operating cost above), base operating costs would be negative.
Economic Analysis
The economic analysis of Angel Island was done using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model using only the first 40 years of project life. Cash flows in the model were based on second-quarter 2025 U.S. dollars with no escalation of costs or revenues. The DCF model uses a base-case discount rate of 8%. Financing costs were excluded from the valuation.
The analysis includes generating gross sales from lithium carbonate and sodium hydroxide, before-tax cash flow, which is gross sales minus operating costs, and after-tax cash flow, which is before-tax cash flow minus taxes and capital costs. The NPV and IRR were calculated from the DCF.
The economic analysis uses a base-case lithium carbonate price of $24,000/t and an 8% discount rate.
After-tax NPV: $4.01 billion
After-tax IRR: 27.4%
Profitability Index: 4.0
Sensitivity to Lithium Carbonate Price
Sensitivity analyses demonstrate Angel Island economics are most sensitive to lithium price and remain robust across a wide range of cost and price assumptions.
Environmental, Permitting, and Social Considerations
Baseline environmental studies are complete. Permitting is expected to proceed under the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”) through the US Bureau of Land Management. Angel Island is currently in the permitting stage, with no material changes to the permitting pathway outlined in the 2024 Study.
Interpretation and Conclusions
The 2026 Feasibility Study concludes that the Angel Island project is technically and economically viable, with improved capital efficiency, reduced execution risk, and robust long-term economics. The simplified two-phase development plan, extensive metallurgical validation, and integrated chlor-alkali process support Angel Island’s competitiveness as a domestic US. source of battery-grade lithium carbonate.
In addition, the integrated chlor-alkali process also provides environmental and operational advantages relative to sulfuric acid-based systems, including on-site reagent production.
Recommendations
Work recommended to advance Angel Island and continue project development is as follows:
A Plan of Operations (“PoO”) should be completed and filed with the BLM to initiate the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”) process; and begin the permitting process with the State of Nevada to work concurrently with the federal process.
Additional geotechnical data should be collected to supplement the existing characterization data and further support the tailings storage facility (TSF) design and foundation, foundation infrastructure requirements for the processing plant, and traffic management and load bearing capacity of materials in the pit during mining.
Additional pilot testing should be completed on deeper material from claystone zones 1 and 2 collected previously, to further confirm the metallurgy of these materials.
Infrastructure work should be completed as follows: 1) initiate preliminary engineering studies with NV Energy for the interconnection of the Project to the electrical grid, 2) define a water source for the Project with a drilling program using piezometers and other pumping tests to be developed under the Company’s water rights permit, and 3) locate local sources of barrow material for construction use at the Project.
Detailed engineering should begin when the NEPA process commences and be completed in appropriate phases to develop the Project design to a level sufficient to support procurement, construction planning, and financing.
A supplemental infill drilling program is recommended, though not required, with the following goals: 1) collect additional data for the Project’s Phase 1 economic and mining models, 2) material for additional density test work, and 3) material for geotechnical test work.

December 2, 2025 – Vancouver, Canada – Century Lithium Corp. (TSXV: LCE) (OTCQX: CYDVF) (Frankfurt: C1Z) (“Century Lithium” or “the Company”) is pleased to report positive results from its ongoing test work on the recovery of rare earth elements (“REEs”) from primary lithium leach solutions generated from its 100%-owned Angel Island lithium project in Nevada, USA. The initial testing indicates that high REE recoveries can be achieved without impacting lithium recovery in Century Lithium’s extraction process.
“The REE recovery results validate our belief that Century Lithium’s leach solutions offer meaningful secondary-value opportunities,” said Todd Fayram, Century Lithium’s Senior Vice President, Metallurgy. “Producing a secondary REE-rich product has the potential to strengthen Angel Island’s economics and align the Company with broader government and industry initiatives supporting secure North American critical-minerals supply chains.”
Century Lithium previously confirmed that the leach solutions produced from Angel Island claystone contain notable concentrations of REEs, including dysprosium, gadolinium, neodymium, and praseodymium, as well as higher concentrations of the critical metals scandium, lanthanum, and cerium. Cesium is also present.
Ion-exchange test work achieved greater than 97% recovery of the identified REEs and critical metals, excluding cesium, while maintaining complete selectivity against lithium. This selectivity is essential for downstream lithium recovery through the Company’s process flowsheet, which includes ultrafiltration, direct lithium extraction (“DLE”) and subsequent steps to produce high-purity lithium carbonate.
The Company’s metallurgical program at Angel Island continues to focus on the following:
Optimizing ion-exchange performance and selectivity
Advancing downstream processing flowsheets for REE concentration and refinement
Evaluating market pathways for a commercial REE by-product
Assessing the economic contribution of REEs to primary lithium production
These results represent a significant technical milestone, demonstrating that REE extraction and recovery can be implemented without affecting the Company’s core lithium recovery process. Century Lithium believes these advancements position the Company to potentially supply both lithium and REEs to North American critical minerals markets, supporting supply-chain resilience and enhancing long-term project value for Angel Island.

December 2, 2025 – Vancouver, Canada – Century Lithium Corp. (TSXV: LCE) (OTCQX: CYDVF) (Frankfurt: C1Z) (“Century Lithium” or “the Company”) is pleased to report positive results from its ongoing test work on the recovery of rare earth elements (“REEs”) from primary lithium leach solutions generated from its 100%-owned Angel Island lithium project in Nevada, USA. The initial testing indicates that high REE recoveries can be achieved without impacting lithium recovery in Century Lithium’s extraction process.
“The REE recovery results validate our belief that Century Lithium’s leach solutions offer meaningful secondary-value opportunities,” said Todd Fayram, Century Lithium’s Senior Vice President, Metallurgy. “Producing a secondary REE-rich product has the potential to strengthen Angel Island’s economics and align the Company with broader government and industry initiatives supporting secure North American critical-minerals supply chains.”
Century Lithium previously confirmed that the leach solutions produced from Angel Island claystone contain notable concentrations of REEs, including dysprosium, gadolinium, neodymium, and praseodymium, as well as higher concentrations of the critical metals scandium, lanthanum, and cerium. Cesium is also present.
Ion-exchange test work achieved greater than 97% recovery of the identified REEs and critical metals, excluding cesium, while maintaining complete selectivity against lithium. This selectivity is essential for downstream lithium recovery through the Company’s process flowsheet, which includes ultrafiltration, direct lithium extraction (“DLE”) and subsequent steps to produce high-purity lithium carbonate.
The Company’s metallurgical program at Angel Island continues to focus on the following: Optimizing ion-exchange performance and selectivity Advancing downstream processing flowsheets for REE concentration and refinement Evaluating market pathways for a commercial REE by-product Assessing the economic contribution of REEs to primary lithium production These results represent a significant technical milestone, demonstrating that REE extraction and recovery can be implemented without affecting the Company’s core lithium recovery process. Century Lithium believes these advancements position the Company to potentially supply both lithium and REEs to North American critical minerals markets, supporting supply-chain resilience and enhancing long-term project value for Angel Island

October 27, 2025 – Vancouver, Canada – Century Lithium Corp. (TSXV: LCE) (OTCQX: CYDVF) (Frankfurt: C1Z) (“Century Lithium” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company has begun moving its Lithium Extraction Facility (“Demonstration Plant”) to the Company’s facility at the Tonopah Airport, Nevada. This relocation will consolidate the Company’s operations, improve logistical efficiency, reduce costs and strengthen support for ongoing and future activities.
“The relocation of the Demonstration Plant will allow the Company to consolidate support for the development of Angel Island,” said Bill Willoughby, President and CEO of Century Lithium. “Thanks to the knowledge and efforts of our team, led by Senior Vice President Todd Fayram, Century’s process has undergone various configurations while performing a multitude of tests towards the development of Century Lithium’s patent-pending process for chloride leaching and Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE).”
Century Lithium’s end-to-end process begins by treating Angel Island claystone under optimized conditions using hydrochloric acid, followed by neutralization using sodium hydroxide, with both the acid and base components sustainably produced on-site through the electrolysis of salt water. Following filtration, the resulting lithium chloride solution is treated by DLE to selectively recover lithium and refined to produce high-purity, battery-grade lithium carbonate suitable for electric vehicle and energy storage applications.
By relocating the Demonstration Plant, Century Lithium will gain more space to conduct research and development on battery materials, including lithium metal and lithium iron phosphate. The new location will also allow the construction of a larger assay and metallurgical laboratory at Tonopah to support Angel Island’s current and future laboratory needs.
Century Lithium’s 20-acre site at the Tonopah Airport is home to Century Lithium’s field office for Angel Island. It was integral for the preparation and handling of the bulk sample material treated in the 3-year-long pilot plant program at Amargosa Valley. Going forward, Century Lithium’s Tonopah Airport facility will be used for research and development for Angel Island, project support and administration.

Century produces high-purity lithium hydroxide. Century Lithium produced its first samples of lithium hydroxide from lithium carbonate derived from Angel Island’s lithium claystone deposit and treated at its demonstration plant using the company’s patent-pending alkaline leach and direct lithium extraction (DLE) process. Century had previously focused on making lithium carbonate. By producing high-purity lithium hydroxide, Century has demonstrated an ability to produce another major lithium product for the domestic market.
Pursuing a direct lithium conversion process. Lithium hydroxide samples were produced onsite in a batch process using conventional liming conversion with calcium hydroxide to produce lithium hydroxide with a purity level of 99.5% or greater. Century is pursuing a direct lithium conversion (DLC) process to produce lithium hydroxide directly from lithium chloride solution, which would bypass producing lithium carbonate in an intermediate stage to simplify the process and reduce energy consumption and operating costs.

October 20, 2025 – Vancouver, Canada – Century Lithium Corp. (TSXV: LCE) (OTCQX: CYDVF) (Frankfurt: C1Z) (“Century Lithium” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company’s Lithium Extraction Facility (“Demonstration Plant”) in Amargosa Valley, Nevada, USA, has produced for its first time lithium hydroxide from lithium carbonate derived from the Company’s 100%-owned Angel Island lithium project, located near Silver Peak, Nevada.
“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, +99.5% lithium hydroxide.
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 the United States seeks a reliable domestic source of critical materials. Lithium carbonate is an essential component for LFP batteries, while lithium hydroxide is needed for high-energy-density NMC/NCA batteries. By demonstrating the potential to produce both, Angel Island stands out as a potential key contributor to American energy independence and a resilient battery supply chain.

Moving through the permitting process. Century has completed all required environmental baseline studies to begin Angel Island’s National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) permitting process, which is expected to take up to two years before reaching a record of decision. The studies will be used by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to support the company’s upcoming Plan of Operations submission and subsequent NEPA analysis.
FAST-41 designation. In August 2025, Angel Island was formally designated as a FAST-41 Transparency project under a federal initiative designed to improve the transparency, coordination, and timeliness of the federal environmental review and permitting process. The designation reflects Angel Island’s strategic importance in supporting the U.S. critical minerals supply chain. We think the Angel Island project is well-positioned for a timely progression through the permitting process.
