Cal:  "  I am sure LAC management will work out some deal with re-planting, donating, etc.  to pacify laments."

Well, let's look back at some material notes that characterize the 2018 PFS for Thacker Pass, shall we?

"...the Fund is currently the  largest 
sagebrush restoration fund in the United States."

And what fund would that be, he asks?   Answer: "The Great Basin Sagebrush Restoration  Fund (the “Fund”)"

And what does "the "Fund" have to do, if anything, with Lithium Americas??

"Consistent with the Company’s focus on environmental sustainability,  Lithium Nevada and the University of Nevada, Reno Foundation (“UNR Foundation”) founded the Great Basin Sagebrush Restoration Fund (the “Fund”) in 2017. The Fund’s mission is to improve sagebrush habitat through cost-effective habitat rehabilitation methods. The research has produced numerous successes in seed enhancement technology, precision rehabilitation and genetics. The rehabilitation tools developed by the Fund have been recently deployed to assist a federal agency with the rehabilitation of federal lands impacted by recent large wildfires in Nevada. Several major mining companies and the BLM have recently made funding commitments, and the Fund is currently the largest sagebrush restoration fund in the United States."

And what about "Environmental Responsibility", he asks???

From the same PFS, in summary:

"Environmental ResponsibilityLithium Nevada’s objective is to produce the most environmentally responsible lithium products. The nature of the deposit combined with the simple processing flowsheet and advanced pollution control technologies are expected to result in low water and energy requirements and minimal greenhouse gas emissions. The cogeneration facility produces a significant amount of carbon-free electricity that will be used to power the processing facilities. As a result, Lithium Nevada may be in a position to produce the first and only carbon-neutral lithium products."

OK, well then I want to know about what, if anything, LAC has done in the realm of community relations in regard to Thacker Pass, he asks??

"Community Relations:
Lithium Nevada  is committed to being a good neighbor and has developed a community engagement strategy based on transparency, early engagement and frequent communication. Open houses have been held in Winnemucca and Orovada to communicate progress of Thacker Pass and collect feedback. Lithium Nevada is engaged with the local McDermitt Tribal government and has made commitments to provide skills training, jobs and economic opportunities. A project engagement agreement has been executed with the McDermitt Tribe to facilitate this process."
