LITHIUM AMERICAS RECEIVES RECORD OF DECISION FOR THACKER PASS
The United States Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has issued the record of decision (ROD) for Lithium Americas Corp.'s Thacker Pass lithium project following completion of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process. Thacker Pass, located 100 kilometres northwest of Winnemucca, in Humboldt county, Nevada, is 100 per cent owned by Lithium Nevada Corp., a U.S. corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Lithium Americas.
"The issuance of the ROD is the culmination of over 10 years of hard work from the Thacker Pass team, as well as the BLM and other federal, state and local agencies, all of whom worked tirelessly to ensure their respective commitments to environmental stewardship and community engagement," commented Jon Evans, president and chief executive officer. "With the federal permitting process complete, our focus is on advancing the financing process, including discussions with potential strategic partners."
Receipt of the ROD represents an important milestone in the development and the permitting of the Thacker Pass project. Applications for key state permits and water rights transfers have been submitted, with results expected later this year.
