Reuters exclusively reports Lithium Americas delays Nevada mine work after environmentalist lawsuit

Reuters exclusively reported that Lithium Americas Corp has delayed necessary excavation work at its Thacker Pass lithium mine site in Nevada amidst a brewing court battle, sending shares down more than 11% over three days. The delay is the latest setback for the U.S. critical minerals industry as environmentalists pressure courts and regulators to block mining projects, even if those mines produce metals key to fighting climate change.
