For years, Thacker Pass and its surrounding area have served as a burial ground for Native Americans in the area, as well as a thriving desert ecosystem for crops and wildlife. Thacker Pass Lithium Mine threatens to jeopardize the safety of plants, animals and people who have lived off the land in Northern Nevada for generations.
Threat to the Environment
Environmentalists have expressed concern over the potential decline in wildlife that could be seen in Thacker Pass and the greater McDermitt Caldera
Threat to Ranchers and Farmers
With purification of lithium occurring on-site at the mine, many ranchers and farmers in the area fear that their land, as well as animals are at risk of consuming contaminated ground water.
Threat to Native Americans
Many Native American tribes have lived off the land at Thacker Pass for millennia. Battles with colonizers left many buried on the same lands that are now to be dug up and destroyed.
