NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Lithium Argentina AG (“Lithium Argentina”, the “Company” or “LAR”), formerly Lithium Americas (Argentina) Corp., is a Swiss- domiciled resource company with lithium projects located in Argentina.

On January 23, 2025, the Company completed a plan of arrangement under the laws of the province of British Columbia (the “Arrangement”) involving the Company’s continuation from the province of British Columbia under the name “Lithium Americas (Argentina) Corp.” into Zug, Canton of Zug, Switzerland, as a Swiss share corporation under the name “Lithium Argentina AG.” As a result, the Company ceased to be governed by the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). Following the Arrangement, the shareholders of the Company prior to the Arrangement continued to hold all the issued and outstanding common registered shares of the Company (the “Continuation”) (Note 13). On January 27, 2025, the Company began trading under the new symbol “LAR” on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

The Company is focused on the operations of the Cauchari-Olaroz project (“Cauchari-Olaroz”). Cauchari-Olaroz is a lithium brine operation located in the Salar de Olaroz and Salar de Cauchari in Jujuy province, north-western Argentina. The Company’s interest in Cauchari-Olaroz is held through a 44.8% ownership interest in Minera Exar S.A. (“Minera Exar”), a company incorporated under the laws of Argentina. Ganfeng Lithium Co. Ltd. (“Ganfeng”) owns 46.7% of Minera Exar with the remaining 8.5% interest held by Jujuy Energia y Mineria Sociedad del Estado (“JEMSE”), a mining investment company owned by the provincial government of Jujuy. Cauchari-Olaroz is in the production stage and achieved commercial production effective October 1, 2024, and is accounted for using the equity method.

The Company also owns 85.1% interest in the Pastos Grandes lithium project (“Pastos Grandes”) acquired through the acquisition of Millennial Lithium Corp. (“Millennial”) on January 25, 2022, and a 65% ownership interest in the Sal de la Puna project (“Sal de la Puna”), held by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Arena Minerals Inc. (“Arena Minerals”) which was acquired on April 20, 2023. Pastos Grandes and Sal de la Puna are lithium brine projects located in Salta province, in north-western Argentina. Pastos Grandes is fully consolidated in the Company’s financial statements, whereas Sal de la Puna is accounted for using the equity method.

The Company's registered office is located at Dammstrasse 19, 6300 Zug, Switzerland.

BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company (“Interim Financials”) have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, under International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting and were approved by the Board of Directors on May 14, 2025. The Interim Financials should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Financials”), which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.

The Interim Financials are expressed in United States dollars (“US$”), the Company’s presentation currency. The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been used in the Interim Financials and 2024 Annual Financials other than those disclosed in Note 3.

(Expressed in thousands of US dollars, except for per share amounts; shares and equity instruments in thousands)

SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Estimation Uncertainty and Accounting policy judgments

The preparation of these Interim Financials in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements requires judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Those estimates and assumptions concerning the future may differ from actual results. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The nature and number of significant estimates and judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty are the same as those that management applied to the 2024 Annual Financials except as disclosed below.

New IFRS Pronouncements

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

It also requires disclosure of management-defined performance measures and includes new requirements for aggregation and disaggregation of financial information based on the identified ‘roles’ of the primary financial statements and the notes.

In addition, there are consequential amendments to other accounting standards; some requirements previously included in IAS 1 have been moved to IAS 8 and limited amendments have been made to IAS 7 and IAS 34. IFRS 18 is effective for the reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early application permitted. Retrospective application is required in both annual and interim financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on its financial statements and has not yet applied it.

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 – Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financials Instruments

In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments. These amendments updated classification and measurement requirements in IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and related disclosure requirements in IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The IASB clarified the recognition and derecognition date of certain financial assets and liabilities, and amended the requirements related to settling financial liabilities using an electronic payment system. It also clarified how to assess the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets in determining whether they meet the solely payments of principal and interest criterion, including financial assets that have environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG)-linked features and other similar contingent features. These amendments require additional disclosures for financial instruments with contingent features that do not relate directly to basic lending risks and costs and amended disclosures relating to equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income.

SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. Early adoption is permitted, with an option to early adopt the amendments for contingent features only. The Company is currently assessing the impact of these amendments on its financial statements and has not yet applied it.

SAL DE LA PUNA JOINT VENTURE

On April 20, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of Arena Minerals that owns 65% of Sal de la Puna through a joint venture interest in Sal de la Puna Holdings Ltd., the 100% owner of Argentine entity, Puna Argentina S.A.U. (“PASA”), the owner of the claims forming part of the Sal del la Puna Project.

The remaining 35% of PASA is owned by joint venture partner Ganfeng New Energy Technology Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. Therefore, after the acquisition of Arena Minerals, the Company holds a 65% ownership interest in the Sal de la Puna Project covering approximately 13,200 hectares of the Pastos Grandes Basin.

The Company’s 65% ownership interest in Sal de la Puna is a joint venture and is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Changes in the investment balance are summarized below:

INVESTMENT IN CAUCHARI-OLAROZ PROJECT (continued)

JEMSE acquired its 8.5% equity interest in Minera Exar in April 2021, which was divided as 4.2% from the Company and 4.3% from Ganfeng. The right to acquire this 8.5% interest was initially granted under a letter of intent signed in 2012, in compliance with the Province of Jujuy's regulations concerning government participation in mineral projects. As part of the closing of the JEMSE transaction, JEMSE has agreed to reimburse the Company and Ganfeng their pro-rata share of $23,496 (8.5%) for the equity financing provided for the construction of the Cauchari-Olaroz project in prior years. This reimbursement will be made through the assignment of one-third of the dividends otherwise payable to JEMSE in future periods. Annual dividend distributions by Minera Exar to all shareholders, including JEMSE, will only be considered once Minera Exar has met all project debt commitments for the Cauchari-Olaroz project. As of March 31, 2025, the carrying value of the long-term receivable from JEMSE was $8,112 (2024 – $7,935).

The Company’s operations related to Cauchari-Olaroz are conducted through its equity investees, Minera Exar and Exar Capital, which are governed by a shareholders’ agreement between the Company and Ganfeng. The shareholders’ agreement regulates key aspects of the governance of the project and provides the Company with significant influence over Minera Exar. Under this agreement, the Company and Ganfeng are entitled to the project’s production offtake on a 49%/51% basis. Construction costs were also shared on the same 49%/51% pro rata basis between the Company and Ganfeng.

The Company and Ganfeng are 49% and 51% shareholders, respectively, in Exar Capital, a company that provides shareholder financing to Minera Exar. Minera Exar and Exar Capital are accounted for using the equity method of accounting (the investment in Minera Exar and investment in Exar Capital together, the “Investment in Cauchari-Olaroz project”).

Investment in Cauchari-Olaroz Project

Changes in the Investment in Cauchari-Olaroz Project are summarized below:

As of October 1, 2024, Minera Exar determined that commercial production had been achieved for the Cauchari Olaroz project after reaching elevated production levels for a sustained period. As a result, the Cauchari Olaroz project’s assets were considered ready for their intended use, and depreciation of these assets commenced on October 1, 2024.

Approximately $101,500 from a major international bank, secured by guarantees and standby letters arranged by Ganfeng. The Company has also provided a guarantee to Ganfeng for its 49% share, amounting to $49,735, for these loans. The Company and Ganfeng have negotiated an extension of the loan maturity to three years, which is subject to regulatory approvals.

Approximately $50,000 in unsecured bonds issued by Minera Exar in November 2024, carrying a contractual interest rate of 8% with semi-annual interest payments. The bonds’ principal will mature in two tranches: the first tranche of $25,000 is due in 30 months, on May 11, 2027, while the second tranche of $25,000 will mature in 36 months, on November 11, 2027.

All values are in US Dollars.

Minera Exar has to settle the loans provided by Exar Capital and PGCo in US$ with sufficient Argentine Pesos (“ARS$”) at the implied market exchange rate. This settlement mechanism requires Minera Exar to repay the loans with more US$ at the official exchange rate.

Since the repayment mechanism for the USD loans provided by Exar Capital and PGCo to Minera Exar is linked to the implied market foreign exchange rate in Argentina rather than the official foreign exchange rate, it results in an embedded derivative in the loans payable by Minera Exar.

As of January 1, 2025, the Company’s investment in Minera Exar was $Nil, and its investment in Exar Capital was $32,919. The Company’s share of the losses of Minera Exar and Exar Capital for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $38,928 and $481, respectively. Since the Company’s investment in Minera Exar was $Nil as of January 1, 2025, it did not recognize its share of Minera Exar’s losses. The accumulated unrecognized share of Minera Exar’s losses as of March 31, 2025, was $64,971.

As of March 31, 2025, the carrying value of the Company’s investment in Minera Exar remained $Nil, and its investment in Exar Capital was $32,438.

LOANS TO EXAR CAPITAL (continued)

The loans provided by the Company to Exar Capital are thereafter advanced to Minera Exar to finance the construction of Cauchari-Olaroz, and to support its working capital and other funding requirements. Each loan has a maturity of seven years from the date of drawdown. Loans advanced prior to January 1, 2022, carried an interest rate of London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 9.495%, while loans advanced on or after January 1, 2022, carry an interest rate of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 10.305%.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company did not advance any new loans to Exar Capital. Exar Capital utilized its existing cash balance to repay a portion of its outstanding loan, amounting to $3,920.

As of March 31, 2025, the total outstanding loans to Exar Capital, including accrued interest, amounted to $387,770. The recoverability of these loans is dependent on the future cash flows and performance of Cauchari-Olaroz. The Company performed an expected credit loss assessment based on the anticipated future performance of Cauchari-Olaroz and its associated cash flows. The assessment did not indicate any significant credit risk or factors that would result in default.

As at March 31, 2025, a total of 49 loans had been advanced to Exar Capital by the Company, with maturities (inclusive of accrued interest to March 31, 2025) as follows: $10,441 due in 2025, $26,284 due in 2026, $31,281 due in 2027, $75,394 due in 2028, $108,955 due in 2029, $86,073 due in 2030, and $49,342 due in 2031.

PURCHASES AND SALES OF LITHIUM CARBONATE

Offtake Agreement with Ganfeng and Bangchak

The Company and Ganfeng are entitled to a share of offtake from production at Cauchari-Olaroz. The Company is entitled to 49% of the offtake, which would amount to approximately 19,600 tonnes per annum (“tpa”) of lithium carbonate assuming full capacity is achieved. The Company has entered into an offtake agreement with each of Ganfeng and BCP Innovation PTE. LTD (“Bangchak”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bangchak Corporation Public Company Ltd., to sell a fixed amount of offtake production at market-based prices, with Ganfeng entitled to 80% of the first 12,250 tpa of lithium carbonate (9,800 tpa assuming full production capacity) and Bangchak entitled to up to 6,000 tpa of lithium carbonate (assuming full production capacity).

The balance of the Company’s offtake entitlement, amounting to up to approximately 3,800 tpa of lithium carbonate, is uncommitted, but for limited residual rights available to Bangchak to the extent production does not meet full capacity.

Purchases and sales of lithium carbonate

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company purchased its 49% share of Minera Exar’s lithium carbonate shipped during the period. The Company sold the purchased lithium carbonate to Ganfeng and Bangchak and acted in the capacity of agent in such sales transactions, as the Company’s acquisition of title to lithium carbonate was simultaneous with the sale of lithium carbonate to Ganfeng and Bangchak and the Company was not directly exposed to inventory or price risk related to lithium carbonate.

PURCHASES AND SALES OF LITHIUM CARBONATE (continued)

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company made approximately $26,812 worth of purchases of lithium carbonate from Minera Exar and sold an equivalent amount, totaling approximately $26,812, to Ganfeng and Bangchak. Since there was no net commission earned by the Company, there was no impact on the Company’s statement of comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

As at March 31, 2025, the Company had a payable of $20,516 to Minera Exar for lithium carbonate purchases, and receivables totaling $20,516, including $17,391 from Ganfeng and $3,125 from Bangchak for sales of lithium carbonate, as disclosed on the statement of financial position. The Company performed an expected credit loss assessment for these receivables, which did not indicate any significant credit risk or factors that would result in default, as the majority of the receivables were settled after March 31, 2025.

PASTOS GRANDES

On August 16, 2024, PGCo, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company holding the Pastos Grandes project in Salta, Argentina, issued common shares representing approximately 14.9% of PGCo to Ganfeng for a consideration of approximately $70,000 (the “Pastos Grandes transaction”). As the Company retained control of PGCo, the transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction, resulting in the recognition of a non-controlling interest representing Ganfeng Lithium’s 14.9% share in the net assets of PGCo.

In Q3 2024, PGCo utilized the proceeds from the Pastos Grandes transaction to enter into $65,000 loan facility agreement with Minera Exar to fund its debt repayment, working capital and other requirements. The loan matures in five years and carries an interest rate of SOFR plus 4.0%.

EQUITY-SETTLEABLE CONVERTIBLE NOTES

On December 6, 2021, the Company closed an offering (the “Offering”) of $225,000 aggregate principal amount of 1.75% Convertible Notes due in 2027 (the “Convertible Notes”, “Notes”, or “equity-settleable convertible notes”). On December 9, 2021, the initial purchasers under the Offering exercised in full their option to purchase up to an additional $33,750 aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes, increasing the total Offering size to $258,750.

The Convertible Notes represent financial instruments that include a debt host accounted for at amortized cost and conversion option and redemption option derivatives, which are separated from the debt host and accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the statement of comprehensive loss. These derivatives are accounted for together as a single derivative when separated from the debt host.

The fair value of the derivative as at March 31, 2025, was estimated using a partial differential equation method with Monte Carlo simulation with the following inputs: volatility of 62.00%, share price of $2.14, a risk-free rate of 3.92%, an expected dividend of 0%, and a credit spread of 9.74%. Valuation of the embedded derivative is highly sensitive to changes in the Company’s share price and to a lesser extent to changes in the risk-free interest rate and the assumed volatility of the Company’s share price. A gain on change in fair value for the three months ended March 31, 2025, of $439 (2024 – $4,743) was recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025, of $6,582 (2024 – $5,996) was recognized as finance costs in the statement of comprehensive loss.

The Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the holders upon satisfaction of certain conditions that are beyond the control of the Company. If such conditions are satisfied, the Convertible Notes would be convertible at the option of the holders and upon conversion, the Notes may be settled, at the Company’s election, in common shares of the Company, cash or a combination thereof. As a result, the Company does not have the right to defer settlement of the Convertible Notes for more than 12 months after the end of the reporting periods.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2025

(Expressed in thousands of US dollars, except for per share amounts; shares and equity instruments in thousands)

EQUITY-SETTLEABLE CONVERTIBLE NOTES (continued)

The Convertible Notes are unsecured and accrue interest payable semi-annually in arrears at a rate of 1.75% per annum payable on January 15th and July 15th of each year, beginning on July 15, 2022.

Prior to October 15, 2026, the Notes are convertible at the option of the holders during certain periods, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions including:

If the Notes’ trading price for any five consecutive trading day period was, on each day, less than 98% of the conversion value of such Notes;
if the Company elects to (a) issue equity instruments to all holders of the Company’s common shares entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after issue, to subscribe for or purchase common shares at a price per share that is less than the average reported sales prices of the common shares for the 10-trading day period ending the trading day before the announcement of such issuance of equity instruments; or (b) make a distribution to all holders of the Company’s common shares, whether such distribution is of assets, securities, or rights to purchase the Company’s securities, and has a per share value exceeding at least 10% of the trading price of the common shares on the date immediately preceding the announcement date of such distribution;
upon the occurrence of certain significant business events;
if, at any time after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2022 (and only during such calendar quarter), the last reported price of the Company’s common shares for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the last period of 30 trading days of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day (this has not occurred for the three months ended March 31, 2025); or,
upon a call for redemption by the Company, or upon the Company’s failure to pay the redemption price therefor.

Thereafter, the Convertible Notes will be convertible at any time until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date. Upon conversion, the Convertible Notes may be settled, at the Company’s election, in common shares of the Company, cash or a combination thereof.

The Convertible Notes mature on January 15, 2027, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. The Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to December 6, 2024, except upon the occurrence of certain changes to the laws governing Canadian withholding taxes. After December 6, 2024, the Company has the right to redeem the Convertible Notes at its option in certain circumstances including:

on or after December 6, 2024, if the Company’s share price for at least 20 trading days during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is over 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal plus accrued and unpaid interest; and
if the Company becomes obligated to pay additional amounts as a result of its obligation to bear the cost of Canadian or non-Canadian withholding tax, if applicable.

EQUITY-SETTLEABLE CONVERTIBLE NOTES (continued)

Redemption can result in exercisability of the conversion option. Holders of Convertible Notes have the right to require the Company to repurchase their Convertible Notes upon the occurrence of certain events.

The Conversion Rate (as defined in the Indenture) for the Convertible Notes was initially 21.2307 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Conversion Rate for the Convertible Notes was adjusted on October 17, 2023, to 52.6019 common shares of the Company per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes based on the trading prices of the Company’s common shares over the preceding 10-trading day period due to the Separation transaction. The Conversion Rate for the Convertible Notes was not adjusted as a result of the Continuation. None of the Convertible Notes were surrendered for conversion during the permitted conversion period in connection with the Continuation.

SHARE CAPITAL AND EQUITY COMPENSATION

On January 23, 2025, the Company completed the Continuation from Canada to Switzerland. As a result of the Continuation, Lithium Argentina's shares were established with a nominal par value of $0.01 per share. The number of shares outstanding remained unchanged. The components of shareholders’ equity have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the Swiss capital structure in all periods presented.

The share capital is fully paid-in, meaning that the entire issue price of the shares has been fully paid to Lithium Argentina. Lithium Argentina has one class of shares outstanding, being the Common Shares. The Common Shares are not convertible into shares of any other class or series.

Equity Incentive Plan

The Company has an equity incentive plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with the policies of the TSX whereby, from time to time at the discretion of the Board of Directors, eligible directors, officers, employees and consultants are awarded restricted share units (“RSUs”) and performance share units (“PSUs”) that, subject to a recipient’s deferral right in accordance with the Income Tax Act (Canada), convert automatically into common shares upon vesting. In addition, independent directors are awarded deferred share units (“DSUs”), generally as partial compensation for their services as directors. DSUs may be redeemed by directors for common shares upon retirement or termination from the Board. The Plan also permits the grant of incentive stock options exercisable to purchase common shares of the Company (“stock options”). The Plan is a “rolling plan” pursuant to which the aggregate number of common shares to be issued shall not exceed 8% of the outstanding shares from time to time.

INCOME TAXES

In January 2025, the Company completed its corporate continuation from Canada to Switzerland. As a result, the corporate headquarters is now subject to Swiss taxation, and the Canadian tax losses and other Canadian tax attributes are no longer available to offset future taxable income at the corporate level. The Company continues to be subject to income taxes in other jurisdictions, including Canada, Argentina, and the Netherlands, through its subsidiaries.

Following the Continuation, the Company remeasured the tax basis of its corporate level assets and liabilities under Swiss tax rules. This resulted in certain temporary differences arising from the Continuation, and the Company recognized a deferred tax liability of $1,827 as of March 31, 2025, with a corresponding deferred tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the consolidated statements of financial position and presented in fair value disclosures are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 – Inputs for assets and liabilities that are not based on observable market data.

The Convertible Notes derivatives (Note 12) are classified at level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are measured at fair value on the statement of financial position on a recurring basis. Cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payable associated with lithium carbonate sales and purchases, other receivables/payables, and the debt host of the Convertible Notes are measured at amortized cost on the statement of financial position. As at March 31, 2025, the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost approximates their carrying value.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

The Company manages risks to minimize potential losses. The primary objective of the Company’s risk management process is to ensure that the risks are properly identified and monitored, and that the capital base maintained by the Company is adequate in relation to those risks. The principal risks impacting the Company’s financial instruments are described below.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, receivables from the two purchasers of lithium carbonate, long-term receivable from JEMSE, and receivables related to loans advanced to Exar Capital and Minera Exar (refer Note 6, 7, 8 and 9).

The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk for cash, cash equivalents, receivables, long-term receivable from JEMSE, and loans to Exar Capital is the amount disclosed in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss on cash and cash equivalents by placing its cash and cash equivalents with two major financial institutions and investing in only short-term obligations, with expected credit losses on cash and cash equivalents estimated to be de minimis. As of March 31, 2025, the Company holds a significant portion of its cash and cash equivalents with a single financial institution. This concentration exposes the Company to credit risk in the event that the financial institution encounters liquidity or credit issues.

The Company has assessed the creditworthiness of this institution and believes that the risk of default is minimal, given its credit rating. However, the Company intends to further mitigate this risk by diversifying its cash holdings to additional financial institutions subsequent to March 31, 2025. This strategy is designed to reduce concentration risk and enhance overall liquidity management.

The Company and its subsidiaries and investees, including Minera Exar, may from time to time make short-term investments in Argentine government securities, financial instruments guaranteed by Argentine banks, and other Argentine securities. These investments may or may not result in short-term gains or losses.

The Central Bank of Argentina maintains certain currency controls that limit the Company's ability to remit cash to and from Argentina. Blue chip swaps are trade transactions that effectively allow companies to transfer US dollars into and out of Argentina at market exchange rates. The Company used this mechanism to transfer funds to Argentina, which resulted in foreign exchange gain due to the divergence between the Blue Chip Swap market exchange rate and the official Argentine Central Bank rate.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to evaluate current and expected liquidity requirements under both normal and stressed conditions, in order to estimate and maintain sufficient reserves of cash and cash equivalents to meet its liquidity requirements in both the short and long-term. The Company prepares annual budgets, which are regularly monitored and updated as considered necessary.

As at March 31, 2025, the Company had $75,000 available under its undrawn limited recourse loan facility with Ganfeng. As at March 31, 2025, the Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $73,936 and receivables from purchasers for lithium carbonate of $20,516 to settle current liabilities of $27,217 (excluding equity-settleable convertible notes).

The Convertible Notes were classified as current liabilities as at March 31, 2025, since the Notes are convertible at the option of the holders upon satisfaction of certain conditions that are beyond the control of the Company. If such conditions are satisfied, the Notes would be convertible at the option of the holders and upon conversion, the Notes may be settled, at the Company’s election, in common shares of the Company, cash or a combination thereof (Note 12).

The above table summarizes the contractual maturities as at March 31, 2025, with respect to the Convertible Notes assuming such conditions will not be satisfied before the due date.

Market Risk

Market risk encompasses a range of risks. Movement in risk factors, such as market price risk, the Company’s share price, and currency risk, can affect the fair values of financial assets and liabilities. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk, as described below.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company’s operations in foreign countries are subject to currency fluctuations, which may affect its financial results.

The Company and its subsidiaries and associates have a US dollar functional currency, and it incurs expenditures in Canadian dollars (“CDN$”), Argentine Pesos (“ARS$”), Swiss francs (“CHF”) and US$, with the majority of the expenditures being incurred in US$ by the Company’s subsidiaries and investees. As at March 31, 2025, the Company held nominal amounts of cash and cash equivalents denominated in CDN$, ARS$, and CHF.

Exhibit 99.2

BACKGROUND

Lithium Argentina AG (“Lithium Argentina”, the “Company” or “LAR”), formerly Lithium Americas (Argentina) Corp. and Lithium Americas Corp., is a Swiss-domiciled resource company with lithium projects located in Argentina. On January 23, 2025, the Company completed a plan of arrangement under the laws of the province of British Columbia (the “Arrangement”) involving the Company’s continuation from the province of British Columbia under the name “Lithium Americas (Argentina) Corp.” into Zug, Canton of Zug, Switzerland, as a Swiss share corporation under the name “Lithium Argentina AG.” As a result, the Company ceased to be governed by the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). Following the Arrangement, the shareholders of the Company prior to the Arrangement continued to hold all the issued and outstanding registered common shares of the Company (the “Continuation”). On January 27, 2025, the Company began trading under the new symbol “LAR” on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) of Lithium Argentina provides an overview of Lithium Argentina's financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and has been prepared as of May 14, 2025.

Highlights

Cauchari-Olaroz1

Production: Lithium carbonate production totaled 7,200 tonnes during the first quarter of 2025, representing a 15% decrease compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.
Production during the first quarter of 2025 was impacted by planned shutdowns aimed at further increasing recoveries and reducing costs.
Production Guidance: 2025 production guidance reaffirmed at 30,000 – 35,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate, which reflects higher production volumes in the second half of the year.
In April 2025, following the planned shutdown, the operation produced at over 85% capacity.
Operating Costs: The cost of sales for the first quarter of 2025 was $54 million, with cash operating costs of $6,634 per tonne2 of lithium carbonate sold.
Costs during the first quarter of 2025 were slightly lower than expected with a portion of the maintenance costs deferred to the second quarter.
The operation continues to implement cost-optimization initiatives targeting a further 5 – 10% reduction in costs.
Pricing: Revenue for the first quarter of 2025 totaled $58 million, with an average realized price of approximately $8,085 per tonne of lithium carbonate sold.
Following the end of the first quarter of 2025, there has been continued downward pressure on lithium prices driven by ongoing global supply-demand dynamics and imbalances.

Regional Growth and Cauchari-Olaroz Expansion

DLE Demonstration Plant: Development of the 5,000 tonnes per annum (“tpa”) demonstration plant is underway in China.
The Province of Jujuy approved the permit modification to implement the demonstration plant.
Once complete, the Company expects to confirm the new processing technology at a commercial scale, supporting further reduction in operating costs and future growth plans in Argentina.
Regional Growth: The Company has executed a letter of intent (“LOI”) with Ganfeng to jointly develop the Pozuelos-Pastos Grandes projects collectively referred to as “PPG”3, with a production capacity of up to 150,000 tpa of lithium carbonate equivalent (“LCE”).
Ganfeng and Lithium Argentina are jointly exploring financing options, including collaboration with potential customers and strategic partners for offtake and minority ownership interests.
Stage 2 Expansion: Cauchari-Olaroz is advancing an expansion plan considering an additional production capacity of 40,000 tpa of LCE (“Stage 2”).
Stage 2 is expected to utilize the existing Stage 1 infrastructure and solar evaporation process, while also incorporating the new processing technologies.
An application for Stage 2 is being prepared under the large investments’ incentive regime (RIGI) in Argentina.

LITHIUM OPERATIONS AND PROJECTS

Cauchari-Olaroz is a lithium carbonate operation located in Jujuy province, in the northwestern region of Argentina. The Company owns 44.8% of the operation through its ownership interest in Exar, a company incorporated under the laws of Argentina. The Company also has a pipeline of exploration and evaluation stage projects, including the Pastos Grandes project (“Pastos Grandes”) and the Sal de la Puna project (“Sal de la Puna”), both located in Salta Province in northwestern Argentina, adjacent to Jujuy province. Pastos Grandes is an 85.1% owned project, while Sal de la Puna is a project in which the Company holds a 65% interest. The Company is advancing development plans for these assets, including evaluating opportunities to achieve synergies through joint development of the projects.

The Company’s operations related to Cauchari-Olaroz are conducted through its equity investees, Exar and Exar Capital B.V. (“Exar Capital”), which are governed by a shareholders’ agreement between the Company and Ganfeng. The Company and Ganfeng collectively own 91.5% of Exar (and thus Cauchari-Olaroz, with the remaining 8.5% owned by Jujuy Energia y Mineria Sociedad de Estado (“JEMSE”)) and 100% of Exar Capital (a Netherlands entity that provides funding to Exar). As of March 31, 2025, the Company has advanced a total of $456.7 million loans to the Cauchari-Olaroz project, including $387.8 million in loans through Exar Capital and $68.9 million directly to Exar (all amounts with accrued interest). These loans were made to fund the construction, debt repayment, and other requirements associated with Cauchari-Olaroz. Exar Capital, in turn, has advanced a total of $1,073.5 million, including accrued interest, to Exar.

For Pastos Grandes, the Company conducts activities through its indirectly 85.1% owned subsidiary, Proyecto Pastos Grandes S.A. (“PGCo”) (with Ganfeng owning the remaining 14.9%) in Argentina. Activities concerning Sal de la Puna are conducted through the Company’s 65% ownership interest in Sal de la Puna Holdings S.à r.l. (with Ganfeng owning the remaining 35%), which owns Puna Argentina S.A.U., an Argentine company that holds the project.

Health and Safety

The Total Recordable Injury Frequency rate for Cauchari-Olaroz for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025, was 0.68 per 200,000 hours worked (including contractors at site).

The Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate for Cauchari-Olaroz for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025, was 0 per 200,000 hours worked (including contractors at site).

There is an ongoing focus on creating a safe and supportive work environment at site.

(100% basis unless otherwise indicated)	Units	1Q25	4Q24	QoQ	YTD
Lithium Carbonate Production	k tonnes	7.2	8.5	-15%	7.2

During the first quarter of 2025, production at Cauchari-Olaroz reached approximately 7,200 tonnes, representing a 15% decrease compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease was in line with expectations and was due to planned shutdowns aimed at improving the design of the chemical process to increase recoveries and reduce costs. During the first quarter 2025, there were sales of approximately 350 tonnes of LCE as lithium chloride concentrate in Argentina. These volumes were sold at a margin to support the commissioning of Ganfeng’s Mariana lithium plant in Argentina. This was related to a specific contract that has now been completed.

The cost of sales for the first quarter of 2025 was $54 million, with cash operating costs of $6,634 per tonne of lithium carbonate sold. Costs during the first quarter of 2025 were slightly lower than expected as a result of a portion of maintenance work being deferred to the second quarter.

Cauchari-Olaroz remains on track to meet the annual production guidance for 2025, which was set between 30,000 to 35,000 tonnes.

The majority of the Company’s share of sales volumes from Cauchari-Olaroz were sold to Ganfeng, Lithium Argentina’s partner in the operation. The pricing of lithium carbonate sold to Ganfeng is based on market prices for battery quality lithium carbonate, less Chinese import taxes, transportation costs, and a deduction for the estimated additional processing costs required to reduce trace impurities to meet battery quality specifications. It is estimated that this discount will total around $2,100 during 2025.

Pastos Grandes

In April 2025, the Company announced that it had executed an LOI with Ganfeng to jointly develop PPG. The LOI provides a framework for Ganfeng and Lithium Argentina to consolidate PPG into a new joint venture and finalize a regional development plan for the combined mineral resources. Development planning is advancing based on a phased approach that utilizes solar evaporation and DLE, with a combined production capacity target of up to 150,000 tpa of LCE.

In addition to lithium carbonate, the regional development plan includes the potential production of lithium chloride to provide added flexibility for serving battery markets. The plan is aimed at unlocking significant synergies, that are expected to result in a larger, lower-cost operation compared to standalone development of the individual assets.

The offtake rights for Pastos Grandes remain uncommitted, providing Lithium Argentina with the opportunity to attract new customers and financing partners to accelerate development and support the growth of a global lithium chemical supply chain.

Environmental and Social Responsibility

In 2024, Cauchari-Olaroz initiated the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) Responsible Sourcing Assurance Process (“RMAP”) to ensure its supply chain adheres to the highest ethical and environmental standards. In December 2024, Cauchari-Olaroz was added to the RMAP active list. The Company expects the on-site audit at Cauchari-Olaroz to take place in June 2025.

Changes in the balance sheet compared to the previous year are primarily driven by the following:

an increase in current assets due to higher sales receivable and prepayments for reagents as well as higher inventory balance due to a ramp up in production, along with a related increase in warehouse reagents, spare parts offset by the sale of inventory during the three months ended March 31, 2025; and
an increase in loans from Exar Capital and PGCo, resulting from the accrued interest for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as well as FX losses since December 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2025, Exar had approximately $239.7 million in third-party debt in Argentina at the official FX rate (2024 – $210.4 million), while cash balance was $22.2 million (2024 – $11.2 million), resulting in a total net debt of $217.5 million (2024 – $199.2 million). The Company’s proportionate share of this net debt is $106.5 million at the official rate. Exar’s debt includes bonds issued in November 2024 in Argentina, totaling $50 million, which carry a contractual interest rate of 8% with semi-annual interest payments. These bonds mature in two tranches, the first half in May 2027 and the other half in November of 2027. Proceeds from the bonds were used to repay Exar’s short-term debt. As of March 31, 2025, the remaining debt of $189.7 million is due in 2025.

The Company and Ganfeng negotiated an increase in Exar’s $80 million loan facility with a major bank to $100 million, along with an extension of the maturity to three years. This extension of the maturity term is subject to customary closing conditions, including government approvals in China. As such, together with the bonds, approximately $150 million of the third-party debt is being refinanced into long-term debt with maturity of three years, with the remaining $89.7 million due later in 2025. The Company is working with Ganfeng to pursue additional long term financing options as lending conditions in Argentina improve, which will support its longer-term growth plans. In early 2025, Exar secured an additional $150 million bank facility, which is expected to be finalized in Q2 2025. The new facility provides increased financial flexibility, at a lower cost of capital, and three-year maturity, subject to regulatory approval. At the end of Q1 2025, Exar drew approximately $30 million from its available export credit facilities in anticipation of future payments, with $22 million held as cash as of March 31, 2025.

In early Q2 2025, the Government of Argentina initiated measures to ease foreign currency restrictions for individuals, amid expectations of continued liberalization of FX regulations.

In addition to the Company’s equity interest in Exar, as of March 31, 2025, the Company has advanced a total of $456.7 million loans to the Cauchari-Olaroz project, including $387.8 million in loans through Exar Capital and $68.9 million directly to Exar (all amounts with accrued interest). These loans were made to fund the construction, debt repayment, and other requirements associated with Cauchari-Olaroz. Exar Capital, in turn, has advanced a total of $1,073.5 million, including accrued interest, to Exar. The Company and Ganfeng are currently working on restructuring loans to Exar Capital and loans from Exar Capital to Exar, to better align their maturities with the expected cash flows of the project.

SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE COMPANY

Liquidity

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $73.9 million, receivables of $20.5 million from purchasers of lithium carbonate, and $75.0 million available under its undrawn subordinated debt facility with Ganfeng (available until the end of 2025), to settle current liabilities of $27.2 million (excluding equity-settled convertible notes).

Notes:

Quarterly amounts added together may not equal to the total reported for the period due to rounding.
The operations of Lithium Americas (NewCo) (as defined below) have been presented in prior periods as a discontinued operation.
As at March 31, 2025, total current liabilities were $240.7 million, including $213.5 million related to the Convertible Notes, which the Company may settle in equity. Excluding the Convertible Notes, adjusted current liabilities were $27.2 million, compared to current assets of $133.1 million. The adjusted current liabilities metric provides a useful indication of the Company’s cash-based obligations, as the Convertible Notes may be settled in shares at the Company’s discretion and, therefore, do not necessarily represent an imminent cash outflow. Current liabilities excluding the Convertible notes is a non-GAAP measure. Refer to the non-GAAP section in the MD&A.

On July 31, 2023, at the annual general and special meeting of the Company, the shareholders approved the separation of the former Lithium Americas Corp. into Lithium Argentina and a new entity, Lithium Americas Corp. (“Lithium Americas (NewCo)”), pursuant to a statutory plan of

arrangement (the “Separation”). The Separation was completed on October 3, 2023. As a result of the transaction, the Company transferred its North American business, including, among other assets, the Thacker Pass Project (“Thacker Pass”) and $275.5 million of cash to Lithium Americas (NewCo).

Changes in the Company’s total assets, liabilities and net (loss)/income were primarily driven by accrued interest on loans advanced to Exar and Exar Capital, expenses during the period, change in the fair value of the Convertible Notes derivative liability, the Company’s share of the results of Cauchari-Olaroz, and the distribution of assets and liabilities to the shareholders upon completion of the Separation.

In Q1 2025, total assets decreased primarily due to a reduction in cash and cash equivalents, which were used to fund the Company’s operations. This was partially offset by accrued interest receivables on loans to Exar and Exar Capital, as well as higher receivables from purchasers of lithium carbonate. Total liabilities increased due to accrued interest on the Convertible Notes (as defined in this MD&A), partially offset by a decrease in the Company’s accounts payable and payables to Exar related to lithium carbonate purchases.

In Q4 2024, total assets increased primarily due to an accrued interest receivables on loans to Exar Capital, higher receivables from purchasers for lithium carbonate, offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents, which were used to fund the Company’s operations. Total liabilities increased due to accrued interest on the Convertible Notes and an increase in payables to Exar for lithium carbonate purchases.

In Q3 2024, PGCo, then a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company holding the Pastos Grandes project, issued common shares that represent approximately 14.9% of its equity to Ganfeng for a consideration of $70.0 million (the “Pastos Grandes Transaction”). Since the Company retains control of PGCo, this transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction. Subsequently, PGCo entered into a loan facility agreement with Exar, advancing a $65.0 million loan funded by the proceeds from the Pastos Grandes Transaction. These funds supported the refinancing of debt, working capital and other requirements for Cauchari-Olaroz. Total liabilities increased due to accrued interest on the Convertible Notes and an increase in payables to Exar for lithium carbonate purchases.

In Q2 2024, total assets remained consistent compared to the previous quarter. Total liabilities decreased by $3.9 million, primarily due to a $10.7 million decrease in deferred tax liability, caused by inflation adjustments on the tax basis of the Pastos Grandes assets in Argentina, partially offset by an increase in purchases payable to Exar for lithium carbonate.

In Q1 2024, total assets decreased primarily due to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents, which were used to fund the Company’s operations, and a reduction in the investment in Cauchari-Olaroz due to the Company’s share of the results of Cauchari-Olaroz, partially offset by an increase in loans advanced to Exar Capital.

In Q4 2023, total assets decreased primarily due to the distribution of assets to shareholders upon the Separation. Net income increased mainly due to the recognition of a gain on the distribution of assets to shareholders upon the Separation, partially offset by expenses in the period and a deferred tax expense of $10.7 million due to the weakening of the Argentine Peso against the U.S. dollar. The fair value of the net assets distributed was $1,680.5 million, determined based on the share price of Lithium Americas (NewCo) on October 4, 2023, its first date of trading. The $1,267.5 million difference between the fair value of the dividend and the carrying value of the net assets was recognized as a gain on the distribution of assets in the statement of comprehensive income (loss).

All values are in US Dollars.

The lower net loss in Q1 2025 compared to Q1 2024 was primarily attributable to:

recognition of a lower share of loss from Cauchari-Olaroz in Q1 2025 of $0.5 million, versus a $12.0 million loss in the comparable period. Since the Company’s investment in Exar was $Nil as of January 1, 2025, it did not recognize its share of Exar’s losses. The unrecognized share of Exar’s losses as of March 31, 2025, was $64.9 million. The Company’s share of Exar Capital’s losses for Q1 2025 was $0.5 million;
higher finance income in the form of interest earned on loans advanced to Exar and Exar Capital in Q1 2025, compared to Q1 2024;
lower exploration and evaluation expenditures, as well as general and administrative expenses, in the current period compared to Q1 2024, due to decreased activities; and
lower share of loss from Sal de la Puna of $0.1 million in Q1 2025, versus $0.3 million in Q1 2024.

These factors were partially offset by:

higher equity compensation expense of $4.5 million in Q1 2025 versus $1.4 million in Q1 2024, primarily due to the timing of equity compensation awards granted to the employees and consultants in both periods;
higher tax expense of $1.9 million in Q1 2025, versus $0.1 million in Q1 2024. Following the Continuation, the Company remeasured the tax basis of its corporate level assets and liabilities under Swiss tax rules. This resulted in certain temporary differences from the Continuation, and the Company recognized a deferred tax liability of $1.8 million as of March 31, 2025, with a corresponding deferred tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025;

lower gain on the change in fair value of financial instruments, with a gain of $0.4 million in Q1 2025, compared to $4.7 million in Q1 2024, primarily due to a smaller reduction in the Company’s share price during the current period;
foreign exchange losses of $0.1 million in Q1 2025, versus a gain of $0.5 million in the comparable period; and
higher transaction costs of $2.1 million in Q1 2025, primarily related to the Continuation, compared to $0.7 million in Q1 2024, which were related to the Separation.

Purchases and sales of lithium carbonate

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company purchased its share of Exar’s lithium carbonate shipped during the period, with Ganfeng purchasing the remaining product shipped. The Company sold the purchased lithium carbonate to Ganfeng and BCP Innovation PTE. LTD (“Bangchak”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bangchak Corporation Public Company Ltd. and acted in the capacity of agent in such sales transactions, as the Company’s acquisition of title to lithium carbonate was simultaneous with its sale to Ganfeng and Bangchak. As a result, the Company was not directly exposed to inventory or price risk related to the lithium carbonate.

Since there was no net commission earned by the Company, there was no impact on the Company’s statement of comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

As at March 31, 2025, the Company had a payable of $20.5 million to Exar for lithium carbonate purchases and receivables totaling $20.5 million, including $17.4 million from Ganfeng, and $3.1 million from Bangchak for sales of lithium carbonate, as disclosed on the statement of financial position.

Expenses

Exploration and evaluation expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2025, of $1.8 million (2024 – $3.1 million), include primarily costs incurred for Pastos Grandes. These expenditures consist of consulting and salary costs, field supplies, permitting, and environmental expenses incurred during the period for the projects. The reduction in costs in 2024 is related to decreased activities at the projects and a Company-wide cost reduction program.

Equity compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2025, amounted to $4.5 million (2024 – $1.4 million), representing a non-cash expense related to restricted share units (“RSUs”), preferred share units (“PSUs”), and stock options.

Included in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, of $3.8 million (2024 – $4.0 million), were:

Office and administrative expenses of $0.8 million (2024 – $0.6 million), which includes insurance costs, IT expenses, office rent, supplies, and other items.
Professional fees of $0.8 million (2024 – $1.5 million), consisting mainly of legal and consulting fees.
Salaries and benefits of $2.0 million (2024 – $1.5 million).

Other Items

Gain on change in fair value of financial instruments for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which amounted to $0.4 million (2024 – $4.7 million), relates to a gain on the change in fair value of the Convertible Notes derivative liability. The fair value of the derivative as at March 31, 2025, was estimated using a partial differential equation method with Monte Carlo simulation, with the following inputs: volatility of 62.0%, share price of $2.14, a risk-free rate of 3.92%, an expected dividend of 0%, and a credit spread of 9.74%. The gain was primarily due to a decrease

in the Company’s share price from $2.62 as at December 31, 2024, to $2.14 as at March 31, 2025, and a decrease in the credit spread from 11.49% as at December 31, 2024, to 9.74% as at March 31, 2025.

Finance and other income for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $13.8 million (2024 – $12.2 million), and primarily includes interest income on the Company’s loans to Exar Capital and Exar, as well as interest earned on cash, cash equivalents, and short-term bank deposits.

Interest income on the Company’s loans to Exar Capital for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $11.3 million (2024 – $10.2 million).
Interest income on loans advanced by PGCo to Exar for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $1.5 million (2024 – $Nil).
Interest earned on cash and cash equivalents for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $0.7 million (2024 – $1.2 million). The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in the cash balance and lower interest rates in the current period compared to the prior period.

Finance costs for the three months ended March 31, 2025, were $6.6 million (2024 – $6.0 million) and primarily include interest on the Convertible Notes.

Transaction costs for the three months ended March 31, 2025, were $2.1 million (2024 – $0.7 million) and include legal fees, consulting or advisory fees, and audit fees, primarily attributable to the Continuation.

Tax expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $1.9 million (2024 – $0.1 million). Following the Continuation, the Company’s corporate headquarters became subject to Swiss taxation. As a result, Canadian tax losses and other Canadian tax attributes are no longer available to offset future taxable income at the corporate level. The Company remains subject to income taxes in other jurisdictions, including Canada, Argentina, and the Netherlands, through its subsidiaries. Upon the Continuation, the Company remeasured the tax basis of its corporate-level assets and liabilities under Swiss tax rules, resulting in temporary differences relative to their IFRS carrying values. A deferred tax expense of $1.9 million was recognized in Q1 2025 in connection with these differences.

As at March 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $73.9 million and an undrawn $75 million available under the limited recourse loan facility.

The Company expects that its existing cash balance, proceeds from operations, and other sources of financing will provide sufficient resources to fund the planned expenditures at Pastos Grandes, Sal de la Puna, its share of Cauchari-Olaroz planned expenditures, as well as general and administrative costs and other obligations.

The timing and amount of expenditures for Pastos Grandes are within the Company’s control due to its controlling interests in the project. However, pursuant to the agreements governing Cauchari-Olaroz and Sal de la Puna, decisions regarding capital budgets for these projects require agreement between Lithium Argentina and the projects’ co-owner, Ganfeng.

The Company continues to support the operation of Cauchari-Olaroz and the development of its other projects. The Company’s capital resources are driven by the status of its assets, the operation at Cauchari-Olaroz, and its ability to secure investor support for its initiative.

In the long-term, the Company expects to meet its obligations and fund the development of its projects through the financing plans described above. However, given the conditions associated with such financing, there can be no assurance that the Company will successfully complete all of its contemplated financing plans. Except as disclosed, the Company is not aware of any trends, demands, commitments, events, or uncertainties that are likely to materially affect its liquidity and capital resources, either positively or negatively, in the near or foreseeable future. The Company does not engage in currency hedging to mitigate any risks related to currency fluctuations.

Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $15.1 million (2024 – $8.2 million). Operating expenses in Q1 2025 were lower compared to Q1 2024, however the Company’s cash used in operating activities increased, primarily due to changes in working capital. This included a decrease in accounts payable and an increase in receivables and prepaids, which together accounted for approximately $6.0 million use of cash. As a result, cash and cash equivalents decreased from $85.5 million at December 31, 2024, to $73.9 million at March 31, 2025. The significant components of operating activities are discussed in the “Results of Operations” section above.

Investing Activities

Cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $3.7 million (2024 – $28.1 million cash used in investing activities).

During the first quarter of 2025, the Company received a partial repayment of its outstanding loan to Exar Capital totaling $3.9 million, which was partially offset by a $0.2 million contribution to its investment in Sal de la Puna.

Financing Activities

Equity-settleable Convertible Notes

On December 6, 2021, the Company closed an offering (the “Offering”) of $225 million aggregate principal amount of 1.75% convertible senior notes due in 2027 (the “Convertible Notes” or “Notes”). On December 9, 2021, the initial purchasers under the Offering exercised, in full, their option to purchase up to an additional $33.75 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes, increasing the total Offering size to $258.75 million.

Pursuant to the indenture governing the terms of the Convertible Notes, as amended by a first supplemental indenture to reflect the name change of the Company in connection with the Separation and a second supplemental indenture to reflect the effects of the Continuation (the “Indenture”), the holders of the Convertible Notes, at their election, were permitted to surrender the Convertible Notes for conversion (i) into shares of the Company during the approximate 30-trading day period prior to the closing of the Continuation and (ii) into shares of the Company during the period from and after the closing of the Continuation until approximately the 35th trading day after the closing of the Continuation. The Conversion Rate (as defined in the Indenture) for the Convertible Notes was initially 21.2307 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Conversion Rate for the Convertible Notes was adjusted on October 17, 2023, to 52.6019 shares of the Company per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes based on the trading prices of the Company’s shares over the preceding 10-trading day period due to the Separation transaction. The Conversion Rate for the Convertible Notes was not adjusted as a result of the Continuation. None of the Convertible Notes were surrendered for conversion during the permitted conversion period in connection with the Continuation.

Loan Facility

As at March 31, 2025, the limited recourse loan facility remains undrawn with $75 million available under the facility until the end of 2025.

CURRENT SHARE DATA

In February 2023, General Motors Holdings LLC (“GM”) acquired approximately 15,000,000 shares of the Company. In connection with that transaction, GM agreed to a ‘lock-up’ restricting the transfer of those shares pursuant to the terms of an investor rights agreement with the Company. The principal lock-up expired in October 2024 (with certain specified transfer limitations remaining in place), and GM is no longer contractually restricted from selling its shares of the Company through the facilities of a stock exchange.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Any transactions between the Company with Exar, Exar Capital, and Sal de la Puna are considered related party transactions (refer Note 5, 6, 7 and 8 of the Q1 2025 financial statements).

Exar, the Company’s equity accounted investee, entered into the following transactions with companies controlled by the family of its director, who is also a director of Lithium Argentina:

In consideration for entering into these new employment agreements, the affected executive management team members were granted RSUs, with a total aggregate grant date fair value of $3.9 million for all impacted individuals.

Offtake Arrangements

Each of the Company and Ganfeng are entitled to a share of offtake from production at Cauchari-Olaroz. The Company will be entitled to 49% of the offtake, which would amount to approximately 19,600 tpa of lithium carbonate, assuming full capacity is achieved. The Company has entered into offtake agreements with both Ganfeng and Bangchak to sell a fixed amount of offtake production at market-based prices, with Ganfeng entitled to 80% of the first 12,250 tpa of lithium carbonate (9,800 tpa assuming full production capacity) and Bangchak entitled to up to 6,000 tpa of lithium carbonate (assuming full production capacity). The balance of the Company’s offtake entitlement, amounting to up to approximately 3,800 tpa of lithium carbonate, remains uncommitted, except for limited residual rights available to Bangchak if production does not meet full capacity.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

As at March 31, 2025, the Company had the following contractual obligations on an undiscounted basis:

	Years ending December 31,
	2025	2026	2027 and later	Total

Convertible senior notes
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
Obligations under office leases¹
Total

All values are in US Dollars.

¹Include principal and interest/finance charges.

The Convertible Notes are classified as current liabilities as at March 31, 2025, since the Notes are convertible at the option of the holders upon satisfaction of certain conditions that are beyond the control of the Company. If such conditions are satisfied, the Notes would be convertible at the option of the holders and upon conversion, the Notes may be settled, at the Company’s election, in shares, cash, or a combination thereof. The table above summarizes the contractual maturities as of March 31, 2025, with respect to the Convertible Notes, assuming that such conditions will not be satisfied before the due date.

The Company’s commitments related to royalties and other payments are disclosed in Note 11 of the Q1 2025 financial statements filed on SEDAR+, most of which will be incurred in the future if the Company continues to hold the subject property, proceeds with construction, or begins production.

NON-IFRS AND OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURES

Cash Operating Costs and Total Cash Costs per Tonne

Lithium Argentina reports “Cash Operating Costs per tonne” and “Total Cash Costs per tonne” as key non-GAAP financial measures or ratios. These non-GAAP financial measures or ratios do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. The most directly comparable IFRS measure is Cost of Sales. These metrics provide investors with insight into the Company's cost structure by excluding non-cash and non-operating items, thereby enabling better comparability of operating performance.

Cash Operating Cost (C1) includes all expenditures incurred at the site, such as brine management, lithium plant processing, site and provincial office overheads, and inventory adjustments. These costs also include project general and administrative costs and sales logistics costs. Total Cash Costs (C2) include all C1 costs, along with export duties (net of refunds) and provincial royalties. Tonnes are reported on a tonnes sold basis at FOB Buenos Aires port. Exar covers the cost of transporting lithium carbonate to the port, while the delivery cost to the buyer's factory in China, along with processing and other costs are subtracted from the sales price.

RECONCILIATION TO NON-GAAP MEASURES (Exar on a 100% basis)			Q4 2024
In millions (unless stated otherwise)
Cost of sales			67
(-) Depreciation and inventory net realizable value adjustments	(12	)		(11)

C1 Total Cash Operating Costs per tonne	6,634			6,630
C2 Total Cash Costs per tonne	6,875			6,881

All values are in US Dollars.

Sustaining capital expenditures

Capital expenditures are classified into sustaining capital expenditures or project capital expenditures depending on the nature of the expenditure. Sustaining capital expenditures are the capital spending required to support delivery of the current production plan. Project capital expenditures represent the capital spending at new projects and major, discrete projects at existing operations intended to increase net present value through higher production or longer production life.

Management believes this to be a useful indicator of the purpose of capital expenditures. Classifying capital expenditures is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized definition under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Average realized lithium price

Average realized lithium price per tonne is defined as lithium revenue divided by total lithium tonnes sold.

Current liabilities excluding equity-settleable convertible notes

Current liabilities excluding equity-settleable convertible notes are defined as total current liabilities of $240.7 million, less $213.5 million related to the Convertible notes that the Company may settle in equity, resulting in current liabilities excluding equity-settleable convertible notes of $27.2 million.

Management believes this metric provides a useful indication of the Company’s cash-based obligations, as the Convertible notes may be settled in shares at the Company’s discretion and therefore do not necessarily represent an imminent cash outflow. Current liabilities excluding equity-settleable convertible notes are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized definition under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute measure of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Measurement

Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the consolidated statements of financial position of Q1 2025 financial statements and presented in fair value disclosures are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 – Inputs for assets and liabilities that are not based on observable market data.

The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market inputs whenever such inputs are available. A financial instrument is classified at the lowest level of the hierarchy for which a significant input has been used in measuring fair value. The Convertible Notes derivatives are classified at level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payable associated with lithium carbonate sales and purchases, other receivables/payables, and the debt host of the Convertible Notes are measured at amortized cost on the statement of financial position. As at March 31, 2025, the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost approximates their carrying value.

Risk

The Company manages risks to minimize potential losses. Its primary objective is to ensure that risks are properly identified and monitored, and that its capital base is adequate relative to those risks. The principal risks affecting the Company’s financial instruments are described below.

Credit Risk

Credit risk refers to the potential for loss due to a counterparty’s inability to meet its financial obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk through its cash, cash equivalents, receivables, and loans to Exar Capital and Exar. To limit its exposure, the Company places its cash and cash equivalents with reputable financial institutions and regularly monitors their creditworthiness. While a significant portion of the Company’s cash is currently held with a single financial institution, the Company plans to diversify its holdings to reduce concentration risk.

As at March 31, 2025, the Company performed an expected credit loss assessment on the loans to Exar Capital and Exar, considering the anticipated future performance of the Cauchari-Olaroz project and its associated cash flows. The assessment did not indicate any significant credit risk or factors that would lead to default. Similarly, the Company assessed the credit risk for its receivables, which did not identify any significant credit risk or factors that would result in default, as the majority of these receivables were settled after March 31, 2025.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company manages liquidity by assessing both current and projected liquidity requirements under normal and stressed conditions. This ensures it maintains adequate reserves of cash and cash equivalents to meet its short- and long-term obligations. The Company prepares annual budgets, which are regularly monitored and updated as necessary.

Market Risk

Market risk encompasses various risks, including those related to market prices, share price fluctuations, and currency movements, which can affect the fair values of financial assets and liabilities. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk, as described below.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company’s operations in foreign countries are subject to currency fluctuations, which may affect its financial results. The Company and its subsidiaries and associates have a US dollar functional currency, and it incurs expenditures in Canadian dollars (“CDN$”), Argentine Pesos (“ARS$”), Swiss francs (“CHF”) and US$, with the majority of the expenditures being incurred in US$ by the Company’s subsidiaries and investees. As at March 31, 2025, the Company held nominal amounts of cash and cash equivalents denominated in CDN$, ARS$, and CHF.

Estimation Uncertainty and Accounting policy judgments

Please refer to the Company’s annual MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2024, for Estimation Uncertainty and Accounting Policy Judgments disclosure. The nature and amount of significant estimates and judgements made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty as well as accounting policies applied during the three months ended March 31, 2025, were substantially the same as those that management applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2024.

NEW IFRS PRONOUNCEMENTS

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

In April 2024, the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements which will replace IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces new requirements on presentation within the statement of profit or loss, including specified totals and subtotals. It also requires disclosure of management-defined performance measures and includes new requirements for aggregation and disaggregation of financial information based on the identified ‘roles’ of the primary financial statements and the notes.

Retrospective application is required in both annual and interim financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on its financial statements and has not yet applied it.

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 – Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financials Instruments

In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financials Instruments. These amendments updated classification and measurement requirements in IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and related disclosure requirements in IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The IASB clarified the recognition and derecognition date of certain financial assets and liabilities, and amended the requirements related to settling financial liabilities using an electronic payment system. It also clarified how to assess the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets in determining whether they meet the solely payments of principal and interest criterion, including financial assets that have environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG)-linked features and other similar contingent features. These amendments require additional disclosures for financial instruments with contingent features that do not relate directly to basic lending risks and costs and amended disclosures relating to equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION AND QUALIFIED PERSON

The scientific and technical information in this MD&A has been reviewed and approved by David Burga, P.Geo., a “Qualified Person” as defined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K by virtue of his experience, education, and professional association, and his independence from the Company. Additional information about the Company’s mineral projects is contained in the Company’s 2024 Annual Form 20-F.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted by us under U.S. and Canadian securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in those rules, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted by us under U.S. and Canadian securities legislation is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to permit timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, including the CEO and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in the rules of the SEC and the Canadian Securities Administrators, as at March 31, 2025. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as at March 31, 2025.

MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Any system of internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well-designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Management, including the CEO and CFO, has used the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) 2013 framework to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this assessment, the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, has concluded that as at March 31, 2025, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

The effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, which has expressed its opinion in its report included with our annual consolidated financial statements.

NEWS RELEASE

Lithium Argentina Reports First Quarter 2025 Results

Exhibit 99.5

May 14, 2025 – Zug, Switzerland: Lithium Argentina AG (“Lithium Argentina” or the “Company”) (TSX: LAR) (NYSE: LAR) today announced its first quarter 2025 results. Unless otherwise stated, results are presented in United States dollar.

Sam Pigott, Lithium Argentina’s President and CEO, commented:

First-quarter performance highlights our focus on cost discipline at Cauchari-Olaroz. The operation performed as expected, with planned maintenance and optimization activities – aimed at enhancing long-term performance and reliability - temporarily reducing in production volumes. During April, the operation returned to above 85% capacity and is now seeing the benefits of these efforts. We remain on track to meet our 2025 guidance of 30,000-35,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate.

Unit cash operating costs1 remained competitive at approximately $6,634 per tonne, reinforcing our position as a low-cost producer. In the face of global uncertainty and ongoing price pressure, our focus remains on reducing costs and maintaining capital discipline.

Over the past 12 months, we have worked with Ganfeng to strengthen the balance sheet at Cauchari-Olaroz – extending maturities and ensuring we remain well capitalized through the current price cycle. At the same time, we have delivered operationally and advanced our growth pipeline to provide strategic and financial flexibility.

Cauchari-Olaroz2

Production: Lithium carbonate production totaled 7,200 tonnes during the first quarter of 2025, representing a 15% decrease compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.
Production during the first quarter of 2025 was impacted by planned shutdowns aimed at further increasing recoveries and reducing costs.
Production Guidance: 2025 production guidance reaffirmed at 30,000 – 35,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate, which reflects higher production volumes in the second half of the year.
In April 2025, following the planned shutdown, the operation produced at over 85% capacity.
Operating Costs: The cost of sales for the first quarter of 2025 was $54 million, with cash operating costs of $6,634 per tonne of lithium carbonate sold.
Costs during the first quarter of 2025 were slightly lower than expected with a portion of the maintenance costs deferred to the second quarter.
The operation continues to implement cost-optimization initiatives targeting a further 5 – 10% reduction in costs.
Pricing: Revenue for the first quarter of 2025 totaled $58 million, with an average realized price of approximately $8,085 per tonne of lithium carbonate sold.
Following the end of the first quarter of 2025, there has been continued downward pressure on lithium prices driven by ongoing global supply-demand dynamics and imbalances.

1 Cash operating costs include all cash expenditures incurred at site in addition to Exar’s general and administrative costs and sales logistics to bring the product to port. Sustaining capex is the capital spending required to support delivery of the current mine plan. Cash operating cost per tonne and sustaining capex per tonne are non-GAAP financial measures and do not have standardized meanings under IFRS and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. Refer to section titled “Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures” below.

Lithium Argentina Reports First Quarter 2025 Results

Regional Growth and Cauchari-Olaroz Expansion

DLE Demonstration Plant: Development of the 5,000 tonnes per annum (“tpa”) demonstration plant is underway in China.
The Province of Jujuy approved the permit modification to implement the demonstration plant.
Once complete, the Company expects to confirm the new processing technology at a commercial scale, supporting further reduction in operating costs and future growth plans in Argentina.
Regional Growth: The Company has executed a letter of intent (“LOI”) with Ganfeng to jointly develop the Pozuelos-Pastos Grandes projects collectively referred to as “PPG”3, with a production capacity of up to 150,000 tpa of lithium carbonate equivalent (“LCE”).
Ganfeng and Lithium Argentina are jointly exploring financing options, including collaboration with potential customers and strategic partners for offtake and minority ownership interests.
Stage 2 Expansion: Cauchari-Olaroz is advancing an expansion plan considering an additional production capacity of 40,000 tpa of LCE (“Stage 2”).
Stage 2 is expected to utilize the existing Stage 1 infrastructure and solar evaporation process, while also incorporating the new processing technologies.
An application for Stage 2 is being prepared under the large investments’ incentive regime (RIGI) in Argentina.

Financial and Corporate

As of March 31, 2025, Lithium Argentina had $74 million in cash and cash equivalents with a $75 million undrawn credit facility with Ganfeng.
Costs paid related to the corporate migration to Switzerland during the first quarter of 2025 were $5 million.
As of March 31, 2025, Minera Exar S.A. (“Exar”) had, on a 100% basis, approximately $218 million of net debt at the official foreign exchange (“FX”) rate including:
$100 million in a bank debt facility with a three-year term, subject to regulatory approval for the full term.
In early 2025, Exar secured an additional $150 million bank facility, which is on track to close Q2 2025.
The new facility provides increased financial flexibility, at a lower cost of capital, and three-year maturity, subject to regulatory approval.
In April 2025, the Government of Argentina initiated measures to ease foreign currency restrictions, with plans for continued liberalization of FX regulations later this year.
In May 2025, the Company published its 2024 Sustainability Report.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company reported a net loss of $7.2 million, compared to a net loss of $10.2 million in the comparative period. The current period’s net loss was primarily driven by higher equity compensation expense, increased tax expense following the Company’s continuation from Canada to Switzerland (the “Continuation”), and transaction costs related to the Continuation. These factors were partially offset by higher finance income, lower operating expenses, and a reduced share of loss from Cauchari-Olaroz.

This news release should be read in conjunction with Lithium Argentina’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which are available on SEDAR+ and EDGAR.
