Lithium Americas Corp. (TSX: LAC) (NYSE: LAC) ("Lithium
Americas" or the "Company") is pleased to provide a
project update for the Thacker Pass lithium project in Humboldt
County, Nevada (“Thacker Pass” or the “Project”) including an
increase in the Mineral Resource estimate to 13.7 million tonnes
(“Mt”) of lithium carbonate equivalent (“LCE”) grading 2,231 parts
per million lithium (“ppm Li”) of Measured and Indicated
(“M&I”) and 4.4 Mt of LCE grading 2,112 ppm Li of Inferred
Resources.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Expanded
M&I Resource estimate to 13.7 Mt LCE at 2,231 ppm Li.
The updated Mineral Resource estimate incorporates the Southwest
Basin, change in cut-off grade and additional drilling since the
2018 M&I Resource of 6.0 Mt LCE at 2,917 ppm Li.
-
Increased Phase 1 capacity of ongoing Feasibility Study to
target 40,000 tpa lithium carbonate. Initial Phase 1
targeted capacity increased from 30,000-35,000 tpa to reflect the
optimized mine plan and leaching efficiencies with the proposed
3,000 tpd sulfuric acid plant unchanged.
-
Incorporating Phase 2 to target additional 40,000 tpa
capacity. Feasibility Study is being designed to
incorporate a potential Phase 2 expansion scenario to target total
capacity of 80,000 tpa to meet potential partner and customer
demand. The Company expects to provide an update on timing of the
Feasibility Study by early 2022 to align with the strategic
partnership process and ongoing engineering work.
-
Permitting process on track with final decision expected in
Q1 2022. All key State permits are expected to be released
for public comment in Q4 2021. At the Federal level, a court
hearing on the appeal of the Record of Decision is expected to take
place in February 2022, with the ruling to follow shortly
thereafter.
-
Early-works construction expected to commence in H1
2022. Early-works includes roads, site preparation, water
line and additional infrastructure to condense and de-risk the
overall construction schedule.
-
Discussions continue with potential strategic partners and
customers. The Company has retained Greenhill & Co. to
act as financial advisor for the Thacker Pass strategic partnership
process.
-
Developing integrated pilot plant to support increased
scale. Working on an integrated pilot plant, expected to
be operational in H1 2022, to support ongoing optimization work,
confirm certain assumptions in the design and operational
parameters and provide product samples for potential
customers.
- Designed
to minimize environmental footprint. Thacker Pass is being
designed to incorporate carbon-free power as its primary energy
source, state-of-the-art air emissions control technologies, a
zero-water discharge process, water recycling technologies to
reduce water consumption and adopt active reclamation to maintain
low footprint. Environmental impact analysis is underway by Golder
Associates to align with the proposed Feasibility Study
design.
“As the US electric
vehicle supply chain continues to grow, we remain committed to
developing Thacker Pass with all of our stakeholders’ interests in
mind,” said Jonathan Evans, President & CEO. “This includes
ensuring we move the right project forward to align Thacker Pass
with the growing needs of our potential customers and strategic
partners.”
“The world needs more
large-scale and environmentally responsible lithium projects to
enable the clean energy transition,” added Mr. Evans. “With Thacker
Pass moving closer towards construction, in Argentina our team
remains focused on bringing the Caucharí-Olaroz lithium brine
project online in the next twelve months as the largest new lithium
carbonate operation in over 20 years.”

|
The bulk of the increase in the Mineral Resource
tonnage is primarily due to (1) change in cut-off grade to maximize
and optimize the available lithium for processing, a decision
driven by market demands and supported by changes made to the
process flowsheet, as well as to comply with updated Canadian
Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (“CIM”) (2019) best practice
guidelines to use a break-even cut-off grade and show mineability
with economic pit optimization evaluation; (2) an increase in the
number of drill holes from 276 to 366; and (3) a larger area
covered by the new drill holes.
To illustrate sensitivity to cut-off grade,
using the same cut-off of 2,000 ppm Li as the April 5, 2018 Mineral
Resource estimate, the comparative Measured and Indicated estimate
is 9.0 Mt LCE (average 2,749 ppm Li) with Inferred at 2.6 Mt LCE
(average 2,703 ppm Li).
Lithium Americas affirms that the updated
Mineral Resource estimate does not constitute a material change and
does not affect the integrity of the Resources and Reserves used in
the preliminary feasibility study for Thacker Pass, “Technical
Report on the Pre-Feasibility Study for the Thacker Pass Project,
Humboldt County, Nevada, USA dated effective date August 1, 2018
(the “PFS”).
Partnership
Process and Feasibility Study
Partnership Process
The Company expects to provide an update on timing of the
Feasibility Study by early 2022, to align with the strategic
partnership process and ongoing engineering work.
Lithium Americas has retained Greenhill &
Co. to act as financial advisor for the Thacker Pass strategic
partnership process.
Feasibility Study for
Phases 1 and 2Lithium Americas continues to advance the ongoing
Feasibility Study targeting an increased initial production
capacity to 40,000 tonnes per annum (“tpa”) of lithium carbonate
(“Phase 1”) from 30,000-35,000 tpa, previously. The increased
target capacity reflects optimizations to the mine plan and
leaching efficiencies, maintaining the same proposed 3,000 tonnes
per day (“tpd”) sulfuric acid plant and water usage. The Company is
continuing to optimize engineering to complete the capital cost
estimate and incorporate the impact of inflationary pressure,
permit requirements and an increase in processing equipment.
In addition, the
Company plans to include an expansion scenario to target total
capacity of 80,000 tpa of lithium carbonate. The addition of a
40,000 tpa expansion (“Phase 2”), is designed to demonstrate
Thacker Pass’ ability to scale production and align with potential
customers’ and partners’ longer-term demands. The Phase 2 expansion
scenario would entail additional time required to amend and meet
permitting requirements beyond Phase 1.
To meet potential customer and partner needs,
the Company continues to also advance engineering to consider an
option for a 20,000 tpa lithium hydroxide chemical conversion
plant.
Process
Engineering and Design
Mine Plan and
Processing OptimizationOver the past year, Lithium Americas has
grown the engineering and technical team and continues to further
optimize the mine plan and process. Optimization work is focused on
maximizing lithium carbonate production in Phase 1 without
increasing the size of the proposed 3,000 tpd sulfuric acid plant
or water usage. Improvements include a mine plan focused on the
illite clay and processing technologies to increase yield. When
compared to smectite clay, illite clay displays higher leaching
efficiencies and generally has higher lithium concentrations, as
well as contains fewer impurities such as magnesium and calcium.
Process changes completed include ore beneficiation, magnesium
sulfate crystallization and improvements to the lithium carbonate
circuit.
The Company is targeting total Phase 2
production capacity of 80,000 tpa within the same mining footprint
as the permitted pit boundary. The team is advancing the mine
engineering and combining the Phase 1 optimization and process
improvements to achieve this increased production level.
Lithium Technical
Development Center Collaboration with UNR Working in collaboration
with University of Nevada, Reno (“UNR”), the existing process
testing facility will be relocated to a new facility in Reno and
expanded to run the full Thacker Pass flowsheet to produce lithium
carbonate samples. This Lithium Technical Development Center will
also perform tests on other lithium deposits such as spodumene and
brine. The integrated pilot plant is expected to be in operation in
the first half of 2022 to support ongoing optimization work,
confirm certain assumptions in the design and operational
parameters and provide product samples for potential customers.
Regulatory and
Permitting
Federal PermitsThe
Record of Decision (“ROD”) was received in January 2021 from the
Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”). In February 2021, claims were
filed against the BLM to appeal the issuance of the ROD. Injunction
requests over the Company’s plan to begin pre-construction work
were denied in Q3 2021. A court hearing on the appeal is expected
to take place in February 2022, with the ruling to follow shortly
thereafter.
State PermitsThree key
state-level permits are expected to be published in draft form by
the Nevada Department of Environmental Protection (“NDEP”) for
public comment in Q4 2021: (1) Water Pollution Control Permit, (2)
Mine Reclamation Permit and (3) Class II Air Permit. The Company
expects to have final versions of these permits in December
2021.
The Company expects that early-works on the
water line could begin as early as February 2022, once permits are
received. Other early-works are expected to begin in H1 2022,
including roads, site preparation and additional infrastructure, to
condense and de-risk overall construction schedule.
Water Rights A
decision on the Company’s water rights transfer application by the
state engineer to transfer the Company’s existing water rights,
which is expected to provide sufficient water for all of Phase 1,
is anticipated by Q1 2022.
Environmental
and Social Responsibility
Fort McDermitt Paiute
and Shoshone Tribe Benefits AgreementThe Company has presented a
benefits agreement to the Fort McDermitt Paiute and Shoshone Tribe.
Respecting the rights, culture, aspirations and interests of the
local communities directly affected by the development and
operation of Thacker Pass and working collaboratively towards
mutually beneficial relationships remains a key priority for the
Company.
Community Engagement
Through engagement with the community, the Company continues to
enthusiastically participate in the Negotiating Work Group (‘Work
Group”) along with selected members of the Thacker Pass Concerned
Citizens Group (“TPCCG”). The purpose of the Work Group is to
develop agreements supported by scientific data and community
buy-in to guide the construction and operations of Thacker Pass.
The Work Group focuses its discussions on identifying solutions
that protect the safety and well-being of community members. The
Work Group continues to meet every two weeks, and the Company is
committed to quickly resolving community issues and building
healthy relations for years to come.
Carbon Footprint and
Water Impact Analysis The Company has engaged Golder Associates to
determine the estimated operational carbon footprint and water
impact of the operations of both Thacker Pass and Caucharí-Olaroz.
Thacker Pass is designed to minimize environmental impact by
approximately 45 MW of carbon-free power from the 3,000 tpd
sulfuric acid plant as a primary power source, designing the
project to avoid sensitive habitat, minimizing water consumption
and air emissions through state-of-the-art technologies, as well as
maximizing production levels within the same footprint as
previously considered.
Socioeconomic and
Environmental Study with UNRLithium Americas has a long-standing
relationship with UNR, originally partnering with UNR’s Department
of Agriculture, Veterinary and Rangeland Sciences to establish the
Great Basin Sagebrush Restoration Fund in 2017. The Company has
recently formalized a relationship with the Department of Mining
and Metallurgical Engineering at UNR’s Mackay School of Earth
Sciences and Engineering to assess the socioeconomic and
environmental footprint for Thacker Pass. Professor Ehsan Bahidi,
Ph.D. will run the two-year program, which will include development
of a life cycle inventory database, quantifying the environmental
performance of lithium production from claystone ore and analysis
of socioeconomic impacts from activity at Thacker Pass with other
lithium production facilities around the world.
Mineral
Resource Estimate Methodology
A block model was created by mining contractor
Sawtooth Mining, LLC, a subsidiary of NACCO Industries, Inc. (NYSE:
NC), and part of the NACCO Natural Resources family, using Maptek’s
Vulcan 3D subsurface geologic modeling software. A regular block
model with a block size of 25 m by 25 m by 1 m was generated. A
Vulcan ISIS database was designed and populated with native
geologic data from Excel datasheets containing borehole assays,
collars, lithological and survey data which were exported from the
Company’s Hexagon Mining Drillhole Manager (Torque) database. A
composited database was then created from this native ISIS
database. A compositing run length of 1 m was chosen based upon
mining assumptions of potential waste removal. This composited
database used existing geocodes from the Torque database to isolate
the compositing of grades to each correlated geologic lithology.
Lithium grades were interpolated for clay/ash lithologies in the
block model through ordinary kriging modeling method from a 1 m
composited quality database.
Fault traces were connected to generate seven
faulted block zones. These faulted block zones were used to limit
the lithium grade estimation to the blocks and drill holes existing
within each representative faulted block zone. Lithium grades have
been estimated throughout the block model using the composited
assay database with the declustered weights through ordinary
kriging (OK) modeling method. Only clay/ash ore material was
estimated for lithium grade and each domain was estimated
independently.
In accordance with CIM Definition Standards
along with Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimation Best
Practice Guidelines (2019) a resource economical pit shell has been
derived from performing a pit optimization calculation using Vulcan
Software. The pit optimization utilized the appropriate cost inputs
and the lithium cut-off grade of 1,334 ppm to determine the
economic resource pit shell for the final resource estimation from
the block model.
Quality
Assurance and Quality Control
The data collection and analysis procedures
employed to develop the information presented in this news release
use industry-standard quality techniques and procedures.
Sampling procedure and assaying methods were as
follows:
- Drilled core was brought from the
field to the Company’s core shed located in Orovada, Nevada. The
boxes of core were logged, photographed, cut and sampled by Company
employees and consultants. The geologist determined the length of
the assay samples by lithology and averaged 1.60 m. The core was
cut in half with diamond blade saws, using fresh water and half
bagged for sampling. For duplicate samples, one half of the core is
cut in half again and the two halves are bagged and sampled
separately to test sampling and assay precision. Each sample was
assigned a unique identification number to ensure security and
anonymity. Randomly inserted in the sample stream were QA/QC
samples, which represent 10.1% of the total assays. The QA/QC
samples include blanks to test for contamination, high and
low-grade lithium standards to test for accuracy and duplicates to
test for precision.
- Drilled core samples were collected
from the core shed by ALS Ltd. (“ALS”), an independent analytical
testing services provider, and transported to their lab in Reno,
Nevada. At ALS, the samples were dried at a maximum temperature of
60 degrees Celsius and the entire sample was then crushed with a
jaw crusher to 90% passing a ten-mesh screen. Nominal 250 gram
splits were taken for each sample using a rifle splitter. This
split is pulverized using a ring mill to 90% passing a 150-mesh
screen.
- ALS’ analysis
included four-acid digestion and inductively coupled atomic
emission plasma spectroscopy to ensure that elevated metal
concentrations were not present, which would interfere with
inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy analyses.
QA/QC protocols included:
- High, low and blank standards were
inserted in random sampling intervals. These samples were also
assigned a blinded sample identification number.
- Duplicate
samples were taken approximately every 30.48 meters. Each was
assigned a blinded identification number.
QA/QC statistical evaluations and results:
- 2017-2018 LNC Drilling
- Eight low grade samples out of 139
assays fell outside the certified two standard deviation. All eight
were within 70 ppm of falling within the two standard deviation
criteria. Seven high-grade samples out of 140 assays fell outside
the certified two standard deviation. All were biased low by as
much as 135 ppm.
- All blank standards reported less
than 100 ppm Lithium.
- All assay standards showed minimal
bias drift with time.
- 365 duplicate ¼ core samples, 730
assays, returned a R2 correlation value of 0.9901.
- One sample pair was withdrawn.
- 2010-2011 WLC Drilling
- Twelve low grade samples out of 305
assays fell outside the certified two standard deviation. Eight
were within 90 ppm of falling within the two standard deviation
criteria, three samples were withdrawn as likely HG mis-sampling
and one withdrawn as a bad assay. Fifteen high-grade samples out of
303 assays fell outside the certified two standard deviation. Four
samples are withdrawn as likely LG mis-sampling and the remaining
within 170 ppm of falling within the two standard deviation
criteria.
- Seventeen blank standards out of
308 samples exceeded the 100 ppm Lithium threshold. The max
exceedance was by 156 ppm.
- All assay standards showed minimal
bias drift with time.
- 247 duplicate ¼
core samples, 494 assays, returned a R2 correlation value of
0.9732.

Notes:
- Holes drilled but not assayed
include: LNC-049 through LNC-056, LNC-086, LNC-129, WLC-038,
WLC-039, WLC-216, WLC-217. These holes were assigned null values
and therefore not used in the Mineral Resource estimation.
- Holes with no intercepts above the
cut-off grade of 1,334 ppm Li were primarily drilled into volcanic
rock. These holes are used in the Mineral Resource estimation:
LNC-005, LNC-006, LNC-007, LNC-095, LNC-103, LNC-110, LNC-119,
LNC-127, LNC-132, LNC-138, WLC-019, and WLC-182.
- Holes removed from use in
estimation due to twinned drilling include: LNC-002, LNC-012,
LNC-110, LNC-081, WLC-040, WLC-076 and WLC-183.
- All holes except WLC-058 and
LNC-083 are drilled vertically (WLC-058 Az:180º Dip:-70º, LNC-083
Az:180º Dip:-60º)
- The resource mineralization is
sub-horizontal and interval thickness represent true
thickness.
- Average Lithium
grades shown represent true averages with no high-grade nugget or
vein effect from short high grade intervals.
