Century Lithium is an advanced stage lithium company, focused on developing its 100%-owned Clayton Valley Lithium Project in west-central Nevada, USA.

The Clayton Valley Lithium Project is a large-scale Nevada-based Lithium Project with a three-phase production plan that will generate a life-of-mine average of 34,000 tonnes per annum of battery-quality lithium carbonate. The Project is located in Esmeralda County, in west-central Nevada, USA, immediately east of Albemarle’s Silver Peak mine: North America’s only lithium brine operation.

At present, the Company is in the permitting stage and is actively processing material from its lithium-bearing claystone deposit at its lithium extraction facility in Amargosa Valley, Nevada. In addition, the Company has recently completed a Feasibility Study on the Project with the goal of becoming a domestic producer of lithium for the growing electric vehicle and battery storage market.
