Century Lithium Stock Price, News & Analysis

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) reported significant progress in the development of its Angel Island lithium project in Nevada. The project achieved two major milestones: its inclusion in the FAST-41 Transparency Dashboard program and the completion of all required baseline environmental studies submitted to the Bureau of Land Management.

The company successfully raised $4.7 million through a LIFE offering in August 2025, which will fund an updated Feasibility Study and ongoing permitting efforts. The comprehensive environmental baseline studies cover biological, cultural, water, and land use resources, positioning the project for advancement through the NEPA permitting process.

Century Lithium (OTCQX: CYDVF) announced a leadership transition as CFO Braam Jonker will step down effective September 30, 2025. The company has appointed Matthew Tompkins, its current Financial Controller since 2022, as Interim CFO.

Tompkins brings over 10 years of mining industry experience as a Chartered Professional Accountant. His background includes working at PwC's mining group and experience with TSX and TSX-V listed companies. He is also the founder of Elevate Financial, a firm providing fractional CFO services to public and private companies.

Century Lithium (OTCQX: CYDVF) announced that its Angel Island lithium project in Nevada has been added to the Federal Permitting Dashboard for FAST-41 transparency status by the US Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council. The project joins 28 other critical mineral mining projects following President Trump's Executive Order 14241.

The Angel Island project is notable for hosting one of the largest sedimentary lithium deposits in the United States. The project's Feasibility Study highlights low operational costs of $2,833/t, attributed to its unique process, deposit chemistry, and sodium hydroxide by-product sales. The project employs an innovative chloride-based leach process with Direct Lithium Extraction to produce battery-grade lithium carbonate.

Century Lithium (OTCQX: CYDVF) announced successful conversion of its lithium carbonate into battery-grade lithium-metal anodes by Alpha-En Corporation. The lithium carbonate, sourced from Century's Angel Island project in Nevada, achieved 99.8% purity and outperformed commercial non-domestic battery-grade material in pilot testing.

Alpha-En utilized its patented room-temperature conversion process to produce high areal capacity lithium-metal anodes. The collaboration demonstrates Century Lithium's material quality and technical capabilities in supporting the US battery materials supply chain. The company continues to advance the Angel Island project through permitting, engineering, and technical development at its Demonstration Plant.

Century Lithium (OTCQX: CYDVF) has announced that First Phosphate successfully produced commercial-grade lithium iron phosphate (LFP) 18650 battery cells using Century's lithium carbonate. The lithium carbonate was derived from Century's Angel Island project and produced at their Demonstration Plant in Nevada.

The battery cells were manufactured using North American critical minerals, including high-purity phosphoric acid and iron powder from First Phosphate's Bégin-Lamarche property in Quebec. The cells were assembled by Ultion Technologies at their Las Vegas pilot facility, marking a significant step in strengthening the North American battery supply chain.

Century Lithium (OTCQX: CYDVF) has reported significant progress at its Angel Island lithium project's Demonstration Plant in Nevada. The company, in collaboration with Amalgamated Research (ARi), achieved exceptional results in Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) testing from November 2024 to January 2025, including 91.6% lithium recovery and 575 mg/L eluate grade with a low Na:Li ratio of 0.6:1.

Key technical advancements include increased lithium concentration in eluate to 12-14 g/L using specialty membranes, production of high-purity lithium carbonate (99.87%), and ongoing third-party evaluation for LFP battery applications. The company is also testing thermal pretreatment methods to potentially reduce hydrochloric acid usage in processing. These improvements could significantly reduce capital and operating costs at Angel Island.

Century Lithium has provided an update on its Angel Island lithium project in Silver Peak, Nevada. The company is responding to recent White House Executive Orders under President Trump that prioritize domestic mining of critical minerals.

As a 100%-owned feasibility-level project, Angel Island aims to support US-based lithium supply chains for battery production, energy storage, EVs, and defense. CEO Bill Willoughby emphasized the company's readiness to contribute to domestic lithium production through their demonstration plant and advanced technology.

The permitting process is advancing with the Nevada State Office of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Next steps include completing baseline studies and submitting the Mine Plan of Operations. The BLM will then determine whether an environmental assessment or impact statement is required. The company reports positive collaboration with BLM throughout the process.

Century Lithium (OTCQX: CYDVF) has completed an internal Optimization Study for its Angel Island Lithium Project in Nevada, identifying potential cost reductions of up to 25% on the initial Phase 1 CAPEX of $1.581 billion. The study focused on reducing capital costs through changes in flow sheet, equipment selection, and updated vendor quotes in processing areas including filtration, Direct Lithium Extraction, and chlor-alkali plant.

Key improvements include streamlining engineering and construction plans, eliminating redundancies, reducing on-site services costs, and lowering estimated indirect costs for contingency and EPCM. The company plans to initiate an Updated Feasibility Study to confirm these optimization results, which could significantly impact the project's economics.
