Senator Jacky Rosen toured the Thacker Pass Lithium Project and spoke with various project leaders on Friday.
Rosen was joined by Winnemucca Mayor Rich Stone and discussed the project’s progress and how it will help strengthen Nevada’s lithium industry with leaders from Lithium Americas and Sawtooth Mining.
“As the only state with active lithium mining, Nevada is a national leader in the critical mineral supply chain — boosting our economy, creating good-paying jobs, and supporting American energy independence,” said Rosen in a press release.
Rosen helped secure the funding for Thacker Pass through the Inflation Reduction Act, according to her release.
“We greatly appreciate Senator Rosen’s support for responsibly onshoring critical mineral development and securing our country’s energy future,” said Tim Crowley, Vice President of Government and External Affairs at Lithium Americas.
