#Chinese #MiningCompany #SinomineResourceGroupCoLtd is considering building a #LithiumRefinery in #Manitoba & looking to team up with #Korea #LGEnergySolutionLtd - attempting to assuage #NationalSecurity concerns from federal government.
Last year, #Beijing based Sinomine put #Tanco #LithiumMine into production in MB. It ships unrefined #lithium concentrate from site to #China for use in their #EVindustry . China dominates processing of lithium - 60% of #GlobalMarket

About Protect #ThackerPass

Why are we protesting?

Because we envision

- A world in which we prioritize the health of future generations.
- A world in which we live in harmony with the natural world, rather than relying on extraction.
- A world in which blowing up a mountain for #lithium is just as unacceptable as blowing up a mountain for #coal.

#Nevada is the driest state in the USA, yet the mine plans to use 2,600 acre-feet (850 million gallons of water) per year in phase one, and 5,200 acre-feet (1.7 billion gallons or water) per year in phase 2.

What do we want?

- We want people to understand that lithium #mining is as dirty as coal mining.
- We want to stop Lithium Americas from physically disturbing Thacker Pass.
- We want the world to know what is happening here.
- We want the current administration to rescind the Thacker Pass #LithiumMine Project permit.
- We want the September 12, 1865 Thacker Pass Massacre Site and the Thacker Pass Traditional Cultural District designated protected under the National Register of Historic Places (#NRHP).
- We want the current administration to withdraw Thacker Pass from federal mine leasing.
- We want the current administration to reduce our nation’s dependence on cars as part of an emergency shift to a “#degrowth” economic paradigm. A detailed description of our solutions is available at our website...
