Thacker Pass Lithium Mine Project
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to issue a loan to Lithium Nevada Corp. to advance Phase 1 of the Thacker Pass Project in Humboldt County, Nevada. The subject of DOE loan is for the mine processing facilities and associated infrastructure, and not for the development and operation of the open pit mine. The Project is designed to produce battery-grade lithium carbonate, a critical component in the manufacturing of advanced electric vehicles (EVs).
The appendices files for the Final EIS are available on the Loan Programs Office Office website.
