Thacker Pass is now the largest measured lithium reserve and resource in the world and has the potential to become an unmatched district generating American jobs and helping the U.S. regain independence of its energy supply. We are committed to safely and sustainably developing Thacker Pass, while engaging with our stakeholders to increase domestic production of critical minerals.

This project is a godsend for the community, and could lead to many opportunities in the future.

My experience was exciting out there, listening to the archaeologists talk about the artifacts and answering all my questions. I learned quite a bit about artifacts, how they were made, where these artifacts came from, and how they came about. To me, it looked like they were used for hunting and as tool-making materials. I learned quite a bit out there and I wanted to share my story with some of the older Elders so they can get a better understanding of what our role out there at Thacker Pass was.

I am very fortunate to work and collaborate with a very diverse group of chemical engineers. Each of my coworkers comes from a unique cultural background and has a very robust set of professional and life experiences. These different perspectives and experiences will allow us to solve difficult problems – which will ultimately benefit society in terms of technological advancement.

When learning about the community relations role with Lithium Americas, I was intrigued to hear the company is actively engaging with the Fort McDermitt Paiute and Shoshone Tribe. This position allows me to engage with community members, understand their needs and help lead efforts in investing in our local communities, allowing for a better place for residents to live and work.

When you have a job opportunity close to your home it makes a bug difference... I'm raising my grandkids so it's very meaningful to have a job close by and to be home at night. I have a few more years to work and I plan on staying right here.

We're learning all kinds of heavy equipment: dozers, haul trucks, water trucks - everything it takes to run the mine. I recommend working here for people who really want to learn these skills. Our team that we have is a nice team and we're learning new stuff every day. I'm excited and 100% positive. It's a good job. It's a good project. I'm from Winnemucca, working here is good because I have more days off where I can spend with my family, I don't need to travel in.
