Description
Description | The Thacker Pass project is a lithium mining operation located in the McDermitt Caldera, an extinct supervolcano on the Nevada-Oregon border. It is estimated to have 44.5 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent in measured and indicated resources. The project aims to produce battery-grade lithium carbonate to supply batteries for electric vehicles, with a planned production capacity of 40,000 tonnes annually in Phase 1 and 80,000 tonnes in Phase 2, supporting up to 1.6 million electric vehicles per year. The project is managed by Lithium Americas Corporation, with General Motors and the U.S. Department of Energy as key investors and supporters. |
