"Lithium Americas Corp.'s positive attributes include: 1.) LAC's [Cauchari-Olaroz] property is located in the Cauchari and Olaroz salars (salt flats), where the world's major lithium brine reserves exist; this area, in the Puna Plateau that borders Argentina, Chile and Bolivia, accounts for approximately 53% of global production and 83% of total brine reserves; 2.) the company has a sizeable M&I resource estimate; and 3.) Magna International and Mitsubishi Corp. have 13.3% and 4.0% equity interests in LAC, respectively, plus offtake agreements. We are initiating coverage of Lithium Americas Corp. with a SPECULATIVE BUY recommendation and a $3. target price based on our 1.0× NAV—the total prospective return is 78.0%."
