Lithium Americas Corp. has provided an update on the progress of its Thacker Pass project in northern Nevada, which is set to become the largest lithium operation in the United States. The company reports that Phase 1 of the project is targeting a battery-quality lithium carbonate production capacity of 40,000 tonnes per year, with mechanical completion anticipated in late 2027 and a ramp-up to commercial production in 2028. The project has secured key permits, financing, and a joint venture and offtake agreement with General Motors. Construction milestones in 2025 included the installation of the first steel in the processing plant area, the move-in of the first residents to the Workforce Hub, and the drawdown of $435 million from a Department of Energy loan. The Thacker Pass project holds expansion potential for up to five phases. You can access the full presentation through the link below.
