Lithium Americas reports third quarter 2026 results. The Company continues to progress major construction at @ThackerPass, with Phase 1 targeting mechanical completion in late 2027, with ramp-up through 2028.

Jonathan Evans, President and CEO of Lithium Americas, said, “Thacker Pass is one of the largest construction projects in Nevada and is on track to deliver America's largest fully integrated source of domestic battery-quality lithium carbonate. Thacker Pass represents more than a strategic supply chain asset, it is an investment in Nevada workers and local communities, creating meaningful, family-supporting jobs. We are proud to build a lithium operation expected to help secure America’s critical mineral independence, which is key for national security.”

Lithium Americas provides an update on @ThackerPass. Phase 1 mechanical completion remains on track for late 2027, with ramp-up to commercial production expected in 2028.

Jonathan Evans, President and CEO of Lithium Americas, said, "Lithium is a strategic asset, and Thacker Pass is the nation's clearest near-term path to reliable domestic supply. As one of the largest construction projects in Nevada, the Project is already putting nearly 2,000 skilled craftspeople to work in Humboldt County, and that number is still growing. This Project will help anchor the supply chains driving American economic competitiveness and support growing demand from the lithium-ion battery markets for electric vehicles and energy stationary storage. Thacker Pass is essential to America's economic and national security, and we are committed to delivering it."

Last week at Thacker Pass, construction crews completed the Sulfuric Acid Plant (SAP)'s final major crane lift. The team safely lifted the 120-foot tall, 156,000 pound Final Absorbing Tower (FAT) from its pre-assembly area to the concrete foundation structure.

The FAT is a critical part of the SAP’s production process. Through a series of steps, molten sulfur is burned to create sulfur dioxide gas, then converted into sulfur trioxide and finally absorbed into acid in two towers – the Interpass Absorbing Tower and the FAT – to produce sulfuric acid. The sulfuric acid is then used in the processing plant to leach lithium from the clay mined at Thacker Pass. Additionally, the acid used to leach lithium is expected to generate carbon-free energy through waste heat capture, which will then be converted to electricity and reused onsite in the production process.

With the major equipment in place, the focus at the Sulfuric Acid Plant shifts to steel erection, duct pre-assembly and installation and piping.

As of October 11, 2026, Thacker Pass has achieved nearly 7.5 million total project work hours and 5 million site work hours without a Lost Time Injury (LTI). This accomplishment reflects the collective commitment, dedication and vigilance of every individual working on the project. While we are proud to have reached this milestone, our accountability does not end here. Our goal remains unchanged: to ensure that every person goes home safe, every day.

Faces of Thacker Pass: Meet Mary Y, Bull Rigger and Ironworker

Mary is a second-generation ironworker and bull-rigger foreperson, who shares her advice for women considering a career in the trades.

"The training program has been one of the biggest benefits. The higher-level ironworkers took notice, saying, “You put in the effort and have a hard work ethic, so we’re going to invest in you.” And now it’s all coming together. The education piece, the knowledge piece."

Advancing @ThackerPass toward production requires a network of contractors, partners and supply chains that extend well beyond northern Nevada. The delivery of complex and oversized equipment, which requires coordinated and multimodal logistics to ship from sea to site, is reliant on partners like the @portvanusa, in order to ensure their safe and efficient transport across the country.

In early August, we achieved a safety milestone of four million work hours at Thacker Pass and seven million total project hours without a lost time incident. Our safety statistics are a reflection of our strong safety culture. Every Thacker Pass worker knows that every day without an incident is one that has to be earned again.

In early September 2026, the first two of 12 crystallizer superloads safely arrived at Thacker Pass following their journey from Plymouth, Utah, marking a major milestone in delivering critical lithium processing equipment.

“Seeing the first two crystallizers arrive on site this week is a proud moment for the entire transportation and logistics team,” said Keith Lincoln, @LithiumAmericas Transportation & Logistics Consultant. “Getting oversized equipment of this scale safely from Plymouth, Utah to Thacker Pass took months of coordination with NDOT, state patrol, our carriers and the communities along the route. Our first delivery was a success. It went smoothly and it gives us a strong operational baseline as we move into a sustained cadence of shipments over the coming weeks. We're grateful to the communities along Highway 50 and beyond for their patience and cooperation, and we'll keep working closely with NDOT to keep these routes safe for everyone.”

Superload schedules will be shared through @nevadadot https://t.co/LVRxV8NDH6, as well as through our community newsletters and social media. See our blog for more information on the superload shipments and safety measures during oversized loads: https://t.co/TiHaarlo94

Last week at Thacker Pass, construction crews placed lids on the Sulfuric Acid tanks, which are crucial components of the Sulfuric Acid Plant. The Sulfuric Acid Plant will produce the sulfuric acid used to leach lithium from the clay ore, creating the brine that moves through purification.

We are committed to nurturing future talent by supporting the educational institutions that will shape the next generation of the critical minerals workforce. In 2025, our Tech Center donated two pieces of equipment to advance research and education at post-secondary institutions: an atomic absorption spectrometer to the @unevadareno to support lithium extraction and battery materials research, and a large-scale beneficiation circuit to @montana_tech to enhance metals recovery studies.

The final “arrowhead” for our eighth, and final, counter-current decantation (CCD) thickener tank was assembled at Thacker Pass. Arrowheads are large fabricated steel sections that make up the floor of the thickener tanks. The next installation includes 20 smaller interconnecting floor plates. The plates are connected with over 6,500 bolts and will be seal-welded, before installation of the rake assembly.
