Thacker Pass is a shallow open-pit mine and processing complex in Humboldt County, Nevada, designed to produce battery-grade lithium carbonate. Phase 1 is designed to produce about 40,000 tonnes per year of lithium carbonate, enough for roughly 800,000 EVs annually when fully ramped. Construction began in 2023, with mechanical completion targeted for late 2027 and full-capacity run-rate expected i
