The share price of ASX-listed Argosy Minerals increased by more than 5% at the close of business on Thursday after the company announced the start of lithium pilot plant operations at its Rincon lithium project, in Argentina.
Argosy has started continuous industrial-scale pilot plant lithium processing trial run operations, which the company said would ensure a smooth transition to regular pilot plant lithium carbonate production, which is set to start in early July, and which will produce 99.5% lithium carbonate product.
