Lithium is a critical mineral with a wide range of uses in our everyday lives. As the lightest metal on the periodic table, its unique electrochemistry means it can store a large amount of energy relative to its weight. While it was first used for medicinal purposes, lithium is now used in a variety of industries including transportation, energy storage and national defense.
Today, lithium-ion batteries power the modern world. @ThackerPass is designed to be a vertically integrated, domestic mine and chemical processing facility that will produce battery-grade lithium carbonate in the United States. Check out 'Ion City' in our 2025 ESG-S Report to learn about the everyday use cases for #lithium https://t.co/LwmT4Zghh3

The first crystallizer has been installed at the Magnesium Sulfate building. Before battery-quality lithium carbonate can be produced, the brine solution needs to be purified. The crystallizers will precipitate dissolved magnesium sulfate out of the brine producing magnesium sulfate salt, also known as Epsom salt.

Last week, @hardermech1934 and @CraneMaxim crews safely raised and anchored into place the 198-foot Duplex Plant Stack for the Sulfuric Acid Plant at Thacker Pass. The plant stack is designed to safely vent water vapor and filter out exhaust byproducts from the sulfur conversion process. This installation is a visual marker of progress as the project continues to go vertical in all areas of the facility. Mechanical completion is targeted for late-2027.

This week, LAC's President and CEO Jonathan Evans was recognized as the 2026 Leader of the Year at the @Fastmarkets Voltas Awards. This award reflects his leadership in advancing Thacker Pass Phase 1 toward production by de-risking financing and securing partnerships with the U.S. DOE, General Motors and Orion. At Lithium Americas we are focused on building vertically integrated, domestic lithium capacity at Thacker Pass to strengthen America's supply chains, advance energy independence and create meaningful jobs in northern Nevada.
Rene Leblanc, VP Commercial and Product Strategy was proud to represent LAC at the conference and accept the award on Jon's behalf. Rene also joined two panel discussions 'Inside Nevada's Lithium Loop: Project Updates and the Race to Deliver U.S. Lithium Supply' and 'The Missing Link: Accelerating North America's Midstream'. These discussions highlighted the important role Thacker Pass plays in upstream mining and processing of battery-grade lithium carbonate, in an effort to reduce reliance on foreign critical minerals.

We are pleased to share our 2025 Environmental, Social, Governance and Safety (ESG-S) Report. Aligned with GRI and SASB frameworks, the Report provides an overview of our performance in key areas, including health and safety, environmental responsibility, community and Indigenous engagement, and corporate governance as we build @ThackerPass.
“Our 2025 ESG-S Report outlines our ESG-S performance throughout 2025 and is a reflection of the dedication of our people, on-site at Thacker Pass and behind the scenes,” said Jonathan Evans, President and CEO. “Throughout 2025, in parallel to progressing major construction at Thacker Pass, we advanced our sustainability priorities by achieving a strong safety record, implementing additional governance policies and training, deepening community and Indigenous engagement, improving water monitoring systems and expanding state and federal government engagement."

@ViewssFromWhit cant be salt making something sweet sound crazy lol but idk and tbh i dont even want to know it just hurt to see something so wonderful be tampered with i know our carribean ancestors tossing and turning in they grave 😔
Major construction at @ThackerPass continues as we target mechanical completion in late-2027. This month, we achieved a safety milestone of three million work hours on-site and five million total project hours without a lost time incident.
Currently, there are approximately 1,600 workers on-site at Thacker Pass. Recent construction activity includes:
- Five out of eight counter-current decantation shells installed; welding of floor plate and side panels continue
- Second level steel buildout of the Filtration Building completed and are now setting mechanical equipment and welding pipe
- Magnesium Sulfate Building steel erection into the second level, setting our first crystallizer and welding pipe
- Long lead items continue to arrive for the Sulfuric Acid Plant, including the Steam Turbine Generator, Cold Interpass Heat Exchanger and Hot Interpass Heat Exchanger
- The two control enclosures and the first electrical house set in place
- Materials and equipment continue to arrive on-site with over 60 truck loads of material arriving daily
Watch our June 2026 construction update video to see the vertical progress!

Maybe it's okay to you, but I would hate to see a meme stock--what SpaceX stock has become--walked to the size of Nvidia over a series overnight moves with no sellers. But that seems to be the goal. Maybe early release of those who want to go?? I am uncomfortable watching a stock go up ten points in a couple of hours of trading. And i LIKE the stock!!
You’d be surprised some people bought at 190’s right before market closed hats off to y’all though I hope it keep running for the meantime I’m sitting on my hands waiting on some real valuation come out and take my time with this lil baby 😉😘
