CENTURY LITHIUM PROVIDES UPDATE ON PERMITTING FOR THE ANGEL ISLAND LITHIUM PROJECT, NEVADA

Century Lithium Corp. has provided an update on federal permitting for the company's 100-per-cent-owned Angel Island lithium project in Nevada, United States. The company has submitted a draft mine plan of operations to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, which is currently under review. On April 22, 2026, the company signed a memorandum of understanding with the BLM that defines its respective roles during the National Environmental Policy Act permitting process.

"Submission of the draft PoO is a significant step in the NEPA process for Angel Island," said Bill Willoughby, president and chief executive officer of Century Lithium. "It initiates a co-ordinated review among the company, the BLM and the third party contractor to ensure the necessary information is incorporated into the final PoO, which serves as the proposed action for the NEPA analysis."

Next steps

Within the next month, the company expects to receive initial comments from the BLM to assist in completing the final PoO. Angel Island is a transparency project under the federal Permitting Council's FAST-41 program. Details on the permitting schedule can be found on the permitting dashboard for federal infrastructure projects.

In parallel with federal permitting, the company is advancing the work streams identified in the 2026 feasibility study, including state and local permitting, preconstruction and detailed engineering, and definition of supporting project infrastructure. The company is also pursuing research and development initiatives with the potential to attract financing and to even further improve the economics and design of Angel Island.
