Thacker Pass

Faces of Thacker Pass: Meet Sarah, Ironworker Foreperson Sarah received the Thacker Pass Foreperson of the Month in December 2025. She shares her background, advice for young women considering a career in the building trades and her passion for leatherworking. "I like the fact that we’re so safety oriented. Nobody wants to get hurt or see the person working with them or a friend get hurt. I’m proud to be here."

Watch the March 2026 Thacker Pass construction update video to see recent site activity. $LAC reported Q4 2025 results today and provided a project update. Read the news release for more details: lithiumamericas.com/news/news-deta… Jonathan Evans, President and CEO said, “2025 marked a transformative year for Thacker Pass. Construction is advancing at full pace, and we are carrying that strong momentum into 2026. We are grateful for the continued support of the U.S. Administration and the Department of Energy. With the second loan drawdown in February 2026, we have meaningfully de-risked the Project and reinforced our path forward. We remain on track for mechanical completion of Phase 1 in late 2027, positioning Thacker Pass to play a central role in securing America’s energy and national security future. Together with our partners, we are advancing energy independence, strengthening domestic supply chains and building a more resilient future.” $LAC #lithium #Nevada @LithiumAmericas

Thank you @JosephMLombardo for coming to visit @ThackerPass, it was an honor and pleasure to host you. We are proud to invest in Nevada's future and help position the state as a leader in critical minerals. $LAC #lithium #Nevada @LithiumAmericas

Faces of Thacker Pass: Meet Frank "Stretch", a journeyman laborer.    Frank was December 2025’s Employee of the Month at Thacker Pass. As part of @LithiumAmericas Faces of Thacker Pass feature, Frank shares his background, advice for young people considering a career in the building trades and his very special talent.   "Thacker Pass is a local opportunity that provides a good living.

This is the right place for me."    Read Frank’s story here:lithiumamericas.com/thacker-pass/b…   $LAC #lithium #Nevada #ThackerPass

Construction at @ThackerPass continues as we target mechanical completion in late-2027. Recent activity includes vertical progress at the Filter Building and Strong Acid Towers, and the assembly of Lithium Carbonate Crystallizers at Great Basin Industrial in Utah. Watch our February 2026 construction update video to see the progress! $LAC #lithium #Nevada #ThackePass #criticalminerals

LAC is pleased to provide a @ThackerPass project update and 2026 guidance for capex and development milestones. As of December 31, 2025, detailed engineering design complete achieved 93% and 1.69 million workhours were completed in 2025 at Thacker Pass without a serious injury or lost-time incident, and the total recordable incident frequency rate was 0.21. Read the news release for full details: lithiumamericas.com/news/news-deta… $LAC #lithium #Nevada #ThackerPass

The @reviewjournal published a special commentary from LAC’s President & CEO, Jonathan Evans. In the article, he highlighted @ThackerPass as one of the most significant energy and industrial projects in the U.S. and how the project brings national and regional advantages, including reclaiming strategic leadership in a core industry, local workforce development, investment in education and strengthened relationships between communities.

Concrete is being poured for the flooring of the Filter Building at @ThackerPass, which will house FLS Automatic Filter Presses to separate lithium-containing clay from slurry. This technology facilitates water recycling, while producing dry stacked filter cakes for the clay tailings facility.

The Workforce Hub (WFH) is an all-inclusive, temporary housing facility located in Winnemucca for the @ThackerPass Workforce. It was built to minimize the impacts of the influx of workers on Winnemucca's housing market, services and infrastructure. Watch this timelapse video to see the construction of the WFH. $LAC #lithium #Nevada #ThackerPass

The first aboveground pipe was installed at @ThackerPass. The carbon steel pipe was craned into the Filtration Building on top of a large air receiver. During operations, this will stabilize air pressure throughout the system to prevent fluctuations. Watch our Jan 2026 construction update video to see more photos youtu.be/ZOdC5xT8qqQ?si… $LAC #Nevada #lithium #ThackerPass

@globallithium’s latest podcast features Dr. Rene LeBlanc, LAC’s VP, Commercial & Product Strategy. They discuss the American #lithium industry, #EV sales forecasts and the growing popularity of energy storage systems. On #ESS, Dr. LeBlanc said, "It has been a relatively small market over the years. In 2025, ESS was just over 20% of the market on a lithium consumption basis, but it is also a rapidly growing sector right now. Some of the forecasts in the ESS space are widely different from each other, just a year out, sometimes even multiples of each other, depending on who is doing the forecasting. So, I think that says there is a lot of interest."

2026 is off to a strong start at @ThackerPass, with the pace of construction continuing to ramp up on-site as we target mechanical completion in late-2027. Recent activity includes the installation of air receivers in the Filter Building, to stabilize air pressure during operations, and the delivery of the first of nearly 100 pipe rack modules for the process plant facilities. Watch our January 2026 construction update video to see the progress! $LAC #lithium #criticalminerals #nevada

Recently, 16 members of the Fort McDermitt Paiute and Shoshone Tribe participated in a specialized Process Plant Fundamentals Training Course, as part of $LAC’s commitment to local workforce development.

Last week, the first of nearly 100 pipe rack modules safely arrived at @ThackerPass. A pipe rack module is a large steel framework that holds metallic pipes, cable trays or equipment for the process plant facilities. Off-site fabrication allows the modules to be constructed in a controlled environment, reducing labor hours and minimizing re-work. $LAC #lithium #Nevada

We’re excited to share our Winter 2025 Community Newsletter, that includes vertical construction progress at @ThackerPass and the Workforce Hub, community engagements and growing job opportunities with @LithiumAmericas,@TrgtHospitality,@Bechtel and Sawtooth Mining.

Watch six months of construction progress at @ThackerPass. This would not be possible without the dedication of 900+ skilled workers who achieved 1.5 million job hours with no-lost time incident. As we close out 2025, we're grateful for our workforce, our community partners and everyone supporting Thacker Pass as we onshore industrial-scale American lithium production in Nevada. $LAC #Lithium #Nevada

Two NV suppliers, Hunewill Construction & Western Nevada Supply were recognized with @Bechtel's 2025 Global Supply Chain Awards for their work on Thacker Pass.

Mickey Jones, LAC Project Director, poses with components of the main air compressor for the Sulfuric Acid Plant. The unit is designed to draw outside air into the system for sulfur production and then into the acid towers to be absorbed as sulfuric acid. $LAC #lithium #Nevada @ThackerPass

@globallithium @LithiumAmericas Looking forward to hosting you again!

A year ago at @LithiumAmericas Thacker Pass. I look forward to a return visit to see the amazing progress that has been made in the last 12 months.

Equipment is being assembled at Utah Fabrication for the Sulfuric Acid Plant. From inside the structure, Matt Karins, LAC's Sulfuric Acid Plant Manager, inspects the transition piece that will be installed once it arrives at @ThackerPass. We're proud to strengthen regional, domestic partnerships while advancing our project by sourcing this critical equipment from our neighbors in Utah. $LAC #lithium #Nevada
