Thacker Pass updates:
Excavation of the process plant pad is ongoing and is over 80% complete.
Road construction is progressing on site. In December, rumble tracks were installed at the site entrance/exit that connects with NV-293. The rumble tracks help reduce debris from vehicles leaving site, especially on muddy days, reduce the need for water trucks and street sweeping, and with dust abatement as well as soil stabilization.

Journey to the Origins of the McDermitt Caldera
This week we shared a captivating dive beneath earth’s surface in our latest animation. Our new video brings the remarkable geology of North America’s largest lithium deposit to life by illustrating how the caldera was formed, and what makes the lithium-bearing volcanic clay at Thacker Pass unique. Journey beneath the surface via our YouTube channel!
The size and multigenerational expansion potential of Thacker Pass was supported by the release of our NI 43-101 and S-K 1300 Technical Reports last week. The updated lithium mineral reserve and resource update is a significant milestone in our company’s journey. Thacker Pass is now the largest known measured lithium resource in the world.)
