Thacker Pass is the largest known lithium resource in the United States. Once complete, the mine and processing facilities will produce more lithium carbonate than any other facility in the United States by far—enough to power 1 million electric vehicles per year. Bechtel, as the EPCM contractor for Lithium Americas, manages and integrates the efforts of a team of contractors engineering and building the facility, and manages procurement of about $1 billion in goods and services.

Earth work began in 2023 and design and procurement of long‑lead equipment is underway. The project is located in the high desert and wide‑open spaces of north‑central Nevada about 25 mi from the Oregon border, 1 hour northwest of Winnemucca and 3 hours northeast of Reno. Planned with sustainability and the environment in mind, the facility will use its excess process heat to generate electricity and will recycle process water up to seven times.

Once the second phase of the project is complete, Thacker Pass will produce more than 16 times the current U.S. output of lithium.
