Lithium Americas (Argentina) is a publicly traded corporation on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol LAAC, created to advance the Cauchari-Olaroz lithium brine project in Argentina’s Jujuy Province. The company is focused on the exploration, development, and eventual production of battery-grade lithium carbonate, a critical input for electric vehicle batteries and grid-scale energy storage systems. Utilizing proprietary brine extraction and processing techniques, Lithium Americas (Argentina) aims to deliver a reliable supply of lithium into global clean-energy supply chains.
The Cauchari-Olaroz project lies at over 4,000 meters above sea level within the Lithium Triangle, a region spanning Argentina, Bolivia and Chile that contains some of the world’s richest lithium reserves. Developed in partnership with the provincial government of Jujuy, the project is designed to produce up to 40,000 tonnes of battery-grade lithium carbonate per year at full capacity. Operations are structured to meet the stringent environmental and social governance standards required by leading battery and automotive customers.
Lithium Americas (Argentina) was established in 2022 through a corporate spin-out from its parent, Lithium Americas Corp., consolidating the Argentine assets into a standalone public vehicle. This strategic separation was undertaken to streamline project financing, enhance operational transparency, and provide investors with targeted exposure to the Cauchari-Olaroz development. The company works closely with local communities, regulatory authorities and strategic partners to advance engineering, permitting and construction activities.
The subsidiary’s activities are overseen by the executive leadership of Lithium Americas Corp., led by President and Chief Executive Officer Jonathan Evans. While corporate headquarters are based in Vancouver, British Columbia, dedicated teams in Argentina manage technical operations, stakeholder engagement and regulatory affairs. Lithium Americas (Argentina) continues to build relationships with global battery manufacturers and seeks to establish itself as a long-term supplier of high-quality lithium products for the rapidly expanding electric-mobility market.
