Deutsche Bank on Tuesday reiterated its hold rating on the shares of Lithium Americas (LAC.TO, LAC) with a US$3.10 price target after the company secured a US$2.26-billion loan from the U.S. Department of Energy for its Thacker Pass lithium project in Nevada.

"LAC closed the much anticipated $2.26bn ATVM Loan from the DoE to support the Tacker Pass Phase I Project development. While this announcement was expected by the market, we believe investors will view it positively, increasing confidence in the project financing going forward," analyst Corinne Blanchard noted.
