Lithium Americas aims to become a pure-play lithium producer. The company was created as a result of the former Lithium Americas separation, which split the firm's North America business, which is the current Lithium Americas, from its Argentina business, which was named Lithium Argentina.
As a lithium pure play, Lithium Americas is well positioned to increase profits from EV growth through lithium batteries.
Thacker Pass is a new greenfield lithium project that will likely face delays and cost overruns, similar to other greenfield projects in the industry.
