Junior miner Lithium Americas Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LAC#NYSE">LAC</a>) announced a final investment decision for the first phase of its flagship Thacker Pass <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/lithium">lithium mine</a> in Nevada. The project, structured as a joint venture with General Motors, should be operational by late 2027.
&#8220;Together, we will develop a U.S.-produced lithium supply chain to reduce American dependence on foreign suppliers for critical minerals,&#8221; <a href="https://lithiumamericas.com/news/news-details/2025/Lithium-Americas-Announce-FID-for-Thacker-Pass-Phase-1-and-Closes-Strategic-Investment-from-Orion-Resource-Partners/default.aspx">said</a> Lithium Americas CEO Jonathan Evans.
The company funded $192 million, while General Motors added $100 million for the project, which is seen as a key element in reducing dependence on foreign lithium sources. Additionally, the project received a $250 million investment from Orion Resource Partners, which includes $195 million in convertible notes and an additional $30 million available through a delayed draw facility.
Yet, these numbers fade compared to a <a href="https://www.energy.gov/lpo/thacker-pass">$2.26 billion loan</a> Lithium Americas secured from the U.S. Department of Energy through its Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Loan Program.
Located in Humboldt County, Nevada, Thacker Pass contains one of the largest known lithium resources in the world, with an estimated 14.3 million tons of lithium carbonate equivalent in proven and probable reserves.
In its first phase, the mine is expected to produce 40,000 metric tons of battery-quality lithium carbonate annually — enough to supply materials for approximately 800,000 electric vehicles. The project was the last major development approved under President Donald Trump&#8216;s first administration.
The U.S. domestic lithium demand might grow to 500,000 metric tons of lithium carbonate by 2030, while Statista sees the global supply <a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/452026/projected-total-supply-for-lithium-globally/">exceeding 2 million</a> metric tons by the same time. Yet, lithium prices have been volatile in recent months, as a temporary <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42870103/lithium-woes-spillover-into-2025-but-us-and-china-quietly-build-reserves">slowdown in demand</a> and an increase in supply pressured the market. Prices fell below $10,000 per metric ton, returning to levels not seen since 2021.
Still, despite a market dynamic that reflects a typical bursting bubble, major commodity producers continue to expand operations, recognizing that long-term demand for lithium will rise as electric vehicle adoption and renewable energy storage needs grow.
Global mining powerhouse Rio Tinto remains pursuing a major project in Serbia, while discussing a similar hard rock lithium project in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which also attracted interest from a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44456007/gates-bezos-backed-startup-makes-move-for-dr-congos-lithium">billionaire-backed startup KoBold Metals</a>.
Even oil companies are exploring lithium mining, owing to synergies provided by the direct lithium extraction method. Industry leader ExxonMobil is currently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/02/37182798/exxons-lithium-experiment-could-be-winner-for-oil-company-state-of-arkansas">testing production in Arkansas</a> and has signed a non-binding supply deal with the battery producer LG Chem.
LAC Price Watch: Lithium Americas stock is up 1.09% at $2.79 on Wednesday. The stock is down 6.06% year-to-date.

&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve accepted mommy-wine culture; why can&rsquo;t we do the same with cannabis?&rdquo; says Rosie Mattio, the woman behind North America&#39;s largest cannabis PR firm. &ldquo;As a high-functioning entrepreneur and mom to four daughters, I [proudly show up at my daughters&rsquo; school] in a weed T-shirt because it&#39;s time we challenge outdated stereotypes about who uses cannabis.&rdquo;
Rosie&#39;s unapologetic approach to normalizing cannabis extends far beyond her personal life. As the founder of MATTIO Communications, she has spent the last decade transforming the cannabis industry&#39;s public image, turning fringe conversations into mainstream media coverage. When she first started in 2014, cannabis was burdened by stigma, and &ldquo;there were very few reporters covering this space&hellip; mainstream and lifestyle media were not reporting on cannabis at all. I had to work tirelessly for years to educate them about the industry,&rdquo; she says.
Rosie&rsquo;s early work reflects her ability to see opportunity where others saw barriers. Cannabis was still largely misunderstood, and few could have predicted the booming market it would become today. Drawing on her background in consumer packaged goods (CPG) PR, she recognized that the industry needed a champion to push it into the mainstream &ndash; and she was ready to be that trailblazer.
The global legal cannabis market is&nbsp;<a href="https://www.grandviewresearch.com/press-release/global-legal-marijuana-market" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="https://www.grandviewresearch.com/press-release/global-legal-marijuana-market">expected</a>&nbsp;to reach $102.2 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.7%. In the U.S. alone, the cannabis market is&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mordorintelligence.com/industry-reports/cannabis-market/market-size" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="https://www.mordorintelligence.com/industry-reports/cannabis-market/market-size">projected</a>&nbsp;to grow from $33.84 billion in 2024 to $69.25 billion by 2029. These numbers were unimaginable when Rosie first entered the industry, but they reflect the massive potential she saw early on.
<h3>&lsquo;We Had To Fly Reporters To California&rsquo;</h3>
In the beginning, the challenges were immense. Rosie wasn&rsquo;t just working against an uninformed public, she was also battling a restrictive legal landscape. Traditional PR methods weren&rsquo;t available: sending product samples across state lines was illegal &ndash; and still is, and it was nearly impossible to convince skeptical reporters to write about a product they hadn&rsquo;t experienced firsthand. But Rosie was resourceful and creative.
One of her go-to strategies involved organizing media tours: &ldquo;We had to fly reporters to California to show them what was happening in the industry, through farm tours, meetings, etc. For instance, I hosted a media tour for Canndescent in 2016, and it wasn&rsquo;t until 2018 that the first mainstream story was written about them in Vogue.&rdquo;

Rosie approached public relations with a dual focus: education and advocacy. She worked to shift perspectives, challenge stereotypes and build trust with both the media and the general public. This was a long game, but Rosie had the determination to see it through. Gradually, her efforts began to pay off, and cannabis started appearing in mainstream media. &ldquo;While we value the cannabis trade publications, which play an important role in the industry, we also worked hard to destigmatize cannabis and ensure that the news was picked up by mainstream media,&rdquo; Rosie says.
<h2>Breaking Into The Mainstream: When Efforts Garner Results</h2>
Rosie&rsquo;s efforts to bring cannabis into the mainstream weren&rsquo;t just about landing stories in lifestyle publications, they were about positioning cannabis as part of everyday life. In the early days, getting cannabis products included in general gift guides, highlighting them as legitimate lifestyle choices, was a major milestone. A collaboration between Green Thumb Industries (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gtbif#OTC">GTBIF</a>) and Magnolia Bakery proved to be a landmark moment, blending cannabis with a beloved consumer brand and showing the public that cannabis had a place in popular culture.
But even as Rosie pushed the boundaries of what cannabis could represent, the industry continued to face hurdles. In 2019, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/sergeiklebnikov/2019/10/11/top-cannabis-companies-have-lost-almost-10-billion-in-market-value-since-vaping-crisis-began/" target="_self" title="https://www.forbes.com/sites/sergeiklebnikov/2019/10/11/top-cannabis-companies-have-lost-almost-10-billion-in-market-value-since-vaping-crisis-began/">vape crisis</a>&nbsp;shook consumer confidence in cannabis products, costing companies billions. Illicit vape cartridges containing vitamin E acetate led to a nationwide health scare, casting suspicion on all vape products, including those from legal operators. Suddenly, Mattio Communications found itself at the center of crisis management. &ldquo;The industry was hit hard by the crisis involving illicit vapes, with young adults dying from vitamin E acetate,&rdquo; Rosie recalls.
So, Mattio partnered with testing companies to show that regulated cannabis products were safe, in a push to restore consumer trust. &ldquo;Our efforts, alongside those of other publicists, garnered global coverage including a segment on the&nbsp;Today Show,&rdquo; she adds.
Even in the face of adversity, Rosie remained committed to pushing the cannabis narrative forward. She didn&rsquo;t just focus on crisis management or getting media placements; she aimed to build brands that people could trust and relate to.
<h2>&lsquo;My Wife Is The Smartest Person In This Room; She Started A Cannabis Marketing Company&rsquo;</h2>
Rosie&rsquo;s rise from a one-woman operation to the head of the largest cannabis PR agency in North America wasn&rsquo;t without its challenges. As the cannabis market grew, so did Mattio Communications. What began as a scrappy venture soon transformed into a major player, with Rosie at the helm, navigating an ever-changing legal and cultural landscape.
Today, Mattio Communications represents some of the biggest names in the cannabis industry, including publicly traded multi-state operators Acreage Holdings, Ascend Wellness Holdings (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aawh#OTC">AAWH</a>), Terrascend (OTC:&nbsp;TSNDF) and Curaleaf (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/curlf#OTC">CURLF</a>), helping to shape the narratives of these companies as they expand across North America.
Regulatory challenges were a constant. One of the toughest lessons Rosie learned early on involved a branding and packaging project for an edibles brand. Her team invested significant time and resources into the project, only to have it derailed by last-minute regulatory changes. The packaging had to be scrapped, costing both time and money. But instead of backing down, Rosie adapted. &ldquo;Now, one of our value propositions is that each team closely monitors state cannabis regulations,&rdquo; she explains. &ldquo;As far as lessons learned, we don&rsquo;t count our eggs before they hatch.&rdquo;
This ability to pivot was a key factor in the company&rsquo;s growth. By late 2018, Rosie had hired her first employee and Mattio Communications was well on its way to becoming a full-fledged powerhouse. Today, the firm employs dozens of people and has offices in New York, Los Angeles and Toronto. But for Rosie, it wasn&rsquo;t just about scaling for the sake of growth; it was about building a company that could drive the cannabis industry forward in meaningful ways.

The PR industry itself has also been experiencing rapid growth. The global market is&nbsp;<a href="https://www.researchandmarkets.com/report/public-relations?srsltid=AfmBOoqPfMUu6DdI_cUurZCHQ1xHiByiDJPVuZzvkVZxV7PGlOt5u-P4" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="https://www.researchandmarkets.com/report/public-relations?srsltid=AfmBOoqPfMUu6DdI_cUurZCHQ1xHiByiDJPVuZzvkVZxV7PGlOt5u-P4">expected</a>&nbsp;to surge from $106.93 billion in value in 2023 to $114.1 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. As cannabis companies continue to professionalize and expand, Mattio Communications is perfectly positioned to help them navigate this competitive market.
Despite the firm&rsquo;s rapid expansion, Rosie&rsquo;s focus has always been on destigmatizing cannabis. &ldquo;Another significant cultural shift has been the changing stigma surrounding cannabis,&rdquo; she notes. Even within her personal life, she has seen attitudes evolve. &ldquo;When I started representing cannabis companies in 2014 and would post placements or updates on my social pages, my husband was concerned about me being open about my work because he worked in the typically conservative finance industry.&rdquo; The stigma was real, but by the time they moved to New York in 2017, things had changed. &ldquo;It was my husband who proudly proclaimed, &lsquo;My wife is the smartest person in this room; she started a cannabis marketing company.&rsquo;&rdquo;
<h3>The Woman Who Wore Weed T-Shirts Before It Was Cool</h3>
As Rosie reflects on Mattio Communications&#39; rapid growth and inclusion on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies in America three years in a row, she credits much of the success to the strength of her team. &ldquo;On average, we have doubled every year,&rdquo; she says, highlighting the importance of surrounding herself with talented individuals who are as passionate about cannabis as she is. &ldquo;It comes down to the team. We work hard for our clients, making ourselves an extension of their business and helping to amplify their message.&rdquo;
<img alt="Rosie and her daughters" src="https://imageio.forbes.com/specials-images/imageserve/66c5172baa503fdac7cbcd6d/Rosie-and-her-daughters/960x0.png?format=png&amp;width=1440" style="height:747px; width:624px" />

Despite her undeniable success, balancing her role as a business leader with her responsibilities as a mother of four hasn&rsquo;t been easy. By 2019, Mattio Communications was booming, but her home life was in flux. To keep things running smoothly, Rosie&rsquo;s husband made a significant sacrifice: he left his successful job on Wall Street to become a stay-at-home dad. &ldquo;My husband believed just as much as I did that this was the opportunity of a lifetime,&rdquo; she says. His support allowed Rosie to dedicate herself fully to building Mattio Communications into the powerhouse it is today. Together, they provided a model for their daughters that reflects both ambition and balance. &ldquo;He has provided our daughters with the model of finding a partner that will support their dreams.&rdquo;
&ldquo;However,&rdquo; Rosie adds, &ldquo;I try to be intentional with my time during the evenings and weekends. I make a conscious decision to shut down after dinner for two hours to be fully present with my family. I also avoid making social plans on weekends to dedicate that time to my daughters and my husband.&rdquo;
Rosie&rsquo;s personal branding also reflects her commitment to challenging outdated perceptions of cannabis. She&rsquo;s known for showing up at her daughters&rsquo; school in weed T-shirts, proudly embracing the culture she&rsquo;s worked to normalize. For Rosie, being open about her work is a point of pride, and it serves as an opportunity to educate her children. &ldquo;Wearing a weed T-shirt challenges stereotypes about who uses cannabis. It also opens up a dialogue and allows me to educate my children about both alcohol and cannabis, preparing them for when they are of legal age.&rdquo;
The future of Mattio Communications looks bright, but Rosie is clear that her mission is far from complete. &ldquo;Looking ahead, we want to be recognized as pioneers and builders of this industry. In 20 years, we want to look back and see that we played a significant role in its development,&rdquo; she says. For Rosie, the work she&rsquo;s doing today isn&rsquo;t just about PR: it&rsquo;s about shaping the future of an industry that is still in its infancy.
As someone who has navigated the challenges of a rapidly evolving industry and transformed cannabis PR, Rosie is well-positioned to offer insights to those looking to follow in her footsteps. Reflecting on her journey, she shares key advice for anyone entering the cannabis space, especially in PR and marketing: &ldquo;Be adaptable. Be ready to move very fast. Be genuinely passionate about the plant and your clients. We care deeply for our clients and celebrate their wins like they were our own.&rdquo;
Her words capture the essence of what has driven her success: passion, dedication and an unwavering belief in the potential of cannabis. These qualities have propelled her to the forefront of the industry, and it&rsquo;s clear that she&rsquo;s only just beginning.

Analysts usually derive their information from company conference calls and meetings, financial statements, and conversations with important insiders to reach their decisions.
Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers.
