Thacker Pass
Thacker Pass is a significant lithium mining site located in northern Nevada, USA. It is part of the larger Lithium Americas Corp project, which aims to extract lithium from the area to support the growing demand for electric vehicle batteries and renewable energy storage. The site is estimated to contain one of the largest lithium deposits in the world.
The region is also notable for its environmental and cultural considerations. Local Indigenous tribes have raised concerns about the potential impact of mining activities on their ancestral lands and the surrounding ecosystem. As a result, the project has faced legal challenges and public scrutiny regarding its environmental implications.
