- The U.S. Department of Energy will take a 5% stake in Lithium Americas LAC.TO and a separate 5% stake in the company's Thacker Pass lithium mine joint venture with General Motors GM.N, according to a source familiar with negotiations.

Reuters reported last week that Trump administration officials were in discussions with Lithium Americas about an equity stake in the company as they renegotiated terms of a $2.26 billion government loan for the mine, slated to become the largest source of the battery metal lithium in the Western Hemisphere.
