Shares of Lithium Americas Corp. (LAC) soared by 5.32% on Monday, following the announcement of a significant investment from automotive giant General Motors (GM). GM unveiled plans to invest $625 million in a strategic partnership with Lithium Americas, as part of the automaker's efforts to secure a reliable supply of lithium for its electric vehicle (EV) battery production.

Lithium, a crucial component in lithium-ion batteries used in EVs, has become a highly sought-after commodity as the global transition towards electric transportation accelerates. With major automakers like GM racing to ramp up their EV offerings, securing access to key raw materials has become a top priority.

The partnership with Lithium Americas represents a significant step for GM in bolstering its lithium supply chain. The investment will help fund the development of Lithium Americas' Thacker Pass project in Nevada, a large-scale lithium mining and processing operation expected to play a vital role in meeting the rising demand for lithium in the United States.
