Core Viewpoint - Century Lithium Corp.'s Angel Island lithium project has been added to the Federal Permitting Dashboard for FAST-41 transparency status, enhancing its visibility and permitting process efficiency [1][2]. Company Overview - Century Lithium Corp. is focused on developing the Angel Island project in Esmeralda County, Nevada, which contains one of the largest sedimentary lithium deposits in the United States [6][7]. - The company employs a patent-pending chloride leaching process combined with direct lithium extraction to produce battery-grade lithium carbonate [6][7]. Project Highlights - Angel Island is recognized as one of the few advanced lithium projects in the U.S. capable of providing an end-to-end process for producing battery-grade lithium carbonate [7]. - The project is currently in the permitting stage for a three-phase feasibility-level production plan [7]. - The feasibility study estimates an operational cost of $2,833 per tonne, which is among the lowest in North America, due to its unique process and by-product sales [7]. - The project is expected to yield an average of 34,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate per year over a 40-year mine life [8]. Regulatory Context - The Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council oversees the FAST-41 initiative, which aims to streamline the permitting process for critical infrastructure projects [3][4]. - Projects on the Federal Permitting Dashboard benefit from a coordinated permitting timetable and active project management [4][5].
