About Lithium Americas
Lithium Americas is a lithium development company focused on advancing two major projects: the Thacker Pass lithium project in Nevada and the Caucharí-Olaroz project in Argentina. The Thacker Pass project, once operational, is expected to become the largest lithium mine in North America, positioning the company as a key domestic supplier for the growing electric vehicle battery supply chain.
The company's strategic importance has grown significantly as automakers and governments seek to reduce dependence on Chinese lithium processing and secure North American supply chains. Lithium Americas has secured partnerships and funding from major automotive companies and government entities, including a conditional loan commitment from the U.S. Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office, reflecting the project's national strategic value in the clean energy transition.

Lithium Americas has been publicly traded for several years, with shares listed on both the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker LAC. The company went public through traditional IPO processes and has maintained its public listing while developing its lithium projects. The company has attracted significant attention from investors due to its Thacker Pass project in Nevada, which has received backing from General Motors through a strategic investment.
