Lithium Americas provides update on Thacker Pass record of decision appeal

Lithium Americas provides an update following a hearing held by the U.S. District Court, District of Nevada on January 5, 2023, for the appeal of the issuance of the Record of Decision for the Thacker Pass lithium project, located in Humboldt County, Nevada. During the hearing, the plaintiffs, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and the company addressed final questions following the submission of briefings in August 2022. The Federal Court reaffirmed no additional hearings or briefings are required and expects to issue a decision in the next couple months. "Yesterday’s hearing provided an opportunity to reaffirm our confidence that the permitting process for Thacker Pass was conducted thoroughly and responsibly," commented Jonathan Evans, President and CEO. "As we continue to prepare for construction, we will look to finalize key supply agreements and partnerships that can help to secure America’s clean energy future by providing responsible and domestically produced lithium."
