LAC's President and CEO, Jonathan Evans, joined the @NationalMining #MiningMatters series to discuss @ThackerPass, the team behind the project, the importance of community engagement and re-establishing U.S. leadership in lithium production. "This is a rare opportunity to bring back something we actually used to lead in 40 years ago, and re-establish it in the U.S. again. There’s a lot of excitement amongst the team. They view this as working on energy security, competitiveness for our country and feeling like they are part of something bigger than themselves."

Delivery of the Sulfuric Acid Plant Cold Interpass Heat Exchanger (CIP) and Hot Interpass Heat Exchanger (HIP) were successfully unloaded and placed on the foundations. The CIP and HIP are large gas-to-gas exchangers used to regulate temperatures inside the catalytic converter. They recover waste heat from the conversion process to reheat cooler gases, which minimizes external fuel consumption and maintains optimal reaction rates. $LAC #lithium #Nevada

LAC's President and CEO, Jonathan Evans, joined Joe Lowry on the @globallithium Podcast. They discussed lithium cycles and changes in the industry since 2008, community engagement and building @ThackerPass, U.S. lithium demand, as well as Jon's evolution as a leader and what leaving a legacy means. "We're battery supply chain people, that's not lost on the government," said Jon. “They understand batteries are a big deal because you can hook batteries up to a gas plant, coal plant, anything. We have battery capacity in the U.S., we have a lot of it actually [for energy stationary storage and EVs]. We have an infrastructure issue and batteries solve it.” Listen to the full interview here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… $LAC #lithium #Nevada #ThackerPass

The first electrical house, or “E-house,” has been set in place. Factory-built enclosures, like this one, house the electrical and control systems that will power and operate the processing facility, and their arrival signals the project's transition into more advanced systems integration. $LAC #lithium #Nevada

Lithium Americas received an additional drawdown of $342 million from its U.S. Department of Energy ATVM Loan. The Company continues to progress major construction of Thacker Pass Phase 1, targeting mechanical completion in late 2027.

A cable tray module is placed on top of the pipe rack module south of the Ion Exchange Building. Last week, crews safely installed six prefabricated modules, including three pipe rack modules fabricated offsite at Car-Wil and three cable tray modules assembled directly at Thacker Pass. These installations mark continued progress in the project's electrical and process infrastructure. $LAC #lithium #Nevada

Harder Mechanical sets the first pipe rack module in place at the Sulfuric Acid Plant. Modules are fabricated in Winnemucca, NV and will be delivered to site weekly from May through August. Off-site fabrication allows the modules to be constructed in a controlled environment, reducing labor hours and minimizing re-work.

Lithium Americas reports Q1 2026 results and provides a project update for Thacker Pass. Watch the May 2026 construction update video to see recent site activity and read the full news release here: lithiumamericas.com/news/new… Jonathan Evans, President and CEO said, “At a moment when resilient domestic supply chains are more critical than ever, lithium stands out as a strategic resource underpinning both national security and a reliable energy future. Construction at Thacker Pass is accelerating toward mechanical completion in late 2027. There are now over 1,300 workers on site as of mid-May and over 2,000 expected at peak construction. In 2025, we emphasized de-risking project execution and made strategic decisions that have enabled us to focus on execution in 2026 – detailed engineering is almost complete, finances have been secured and global supply chain challenges are being well managed.” $LAC #lithium #Nevada @ThackerPass

Good morning from Thacker Pass. Another week, another sunrise and another day of progress. The cranes are moving and our teams on-site and behind the scenes are hard at work. We’re proud to be building vertically integrated, domestic lithium capacity right here in northern Nevada.

Construction at Thacker Pass is entering its peak activity between now and the end of 2026, marked by increased frequency of deliveries of large pieces of equipment. Between May and August, about 100 pipe rack modules will be transported from CarWil's manufacturing facility in Winnemucca to Thacker Pass, approximately 65 miles north. @nevadadot will post permitted shipment timeframes to NVRoads.com before each transportation date. @LithiumAmericas will also share shipment dates in our weekly community newsletter so northern Nevada residents can plan ahead.

Construction at @ThackerPass continues as we target mechanical completion in late-2027. There are now over 1,100 workers on-site and 24/7 construction operations starts this week, reflecting the pace and scale of construction activity. Recent site activity includes: - First underground cable pull - Arrival of bicarbonate reactors for the Lithium Carbonate Crystallization facility - Underground pipe fabrication - Structural steel assembly at the Magnesium Sulfate Building Watch our timelapse video from January - April 2026 to see the vertical progress! $LAC #lithium #Nevada #ThackerPass #criticalminerals

Bicarbonate reactors for the Lithium Carbonate Crystallization facility have arrived at @ThackerPass. These reactors are used to purify lithium carbonate, separating dissolved lithium from insoluble impurities, helping to produce battery-grade lithium carbonate.

The first of more than 100 miles of permanent electrical cable was safely pulled at @ThackerPass, marking a key construction milestone. This infrastructure will bring permanent power to the processing plant, moving Thacker Pass closer to startup.

“Hedge funds all consider you guys rare earth.” That may be the tell. Jon Evans — CEO of @LithiumAmericas, former FMC lithium head, now building Thacker Pass with GM, Orion and the DOE — joins us to explain why one of the most strategic US lithium assets is still being traded like a momentum proxy for MP. The market may have got this wrong. • Thacker Pass is no longer a permitting or a financing story • The capital stack matters • Evans’ argument is that the process risk is widely overstated • The reported C1/ASIC reflect a very different setup from how the stock is being discussed The bigger point: lithium demand goes well beyond EVs with Evans' noting every 1 GWh of storage needs roughly 900 tons of lithium. Meanwhile the stock still gets shoved into the same “critical minerals” basket trade as rare earths. Misclassification can be a valuation opportunity. Full episode out now. YT → youtu.be/hudbS0HwAnU

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/new… 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
