About: Lithium Americas is a pure-play lithium producer. The firm owns 62% of one resource, Thacker Pass, that is located in northwest Nevada, with automaker General Motors owning the remaining 38%. Thacker Pass recently began construction and is expected to begin production in the mid- to late 2020s. Thacker Pass is one of the largest known lithium resources in the world. The project would be the first clay-based asset to enter production, and we estimate it will be in bottom half of the global cost curve. Management plans to develop Thacker Pass into a fully integrated lithium production site, with downstream refining capabilities on site, and will sell into the lithium chemical market.

Here's Why We're Buying Lithium Americas While Everyone Else Is Bailing
LAC is positioned to capitalize on rising lithium demand, with Thacker Pass nearing Phase 1 completion. Despite recent share price declines due to lower lithium prices, LAC's liquidity and ongoing project milestones make it an attractive investment with high potential rewards. The company's robust financings de-risk the Thacker Pass project, with potential catalysts like Phase 2 expansion and higher future lithium prices providing upside in the future.

Lithium Americas: Powering A Robotic Future
Robots via Tesla and Nvidia are coming. If this thesis pans out the most likely material they will use could be lithium. Lithium stocks, including Lithium Americas, are currently undervalued due to Wall Street's negative sentiment and long investment time frames, despite strong growth in EV, fixed storage, and potentially future robotics. Market uncertainty, including unpredictable political actions and depressed lithium prices potentially influenced by China, contributes to subdued interest in lithium investments.
