Orocobre suspends Olaroz

Dual-listed lithium miner Orocobre has moved its Olaroz lithium facility, in Argentina, to care and maintenance, and has suspended all development operations related to the Stage 2 expansion.

The government of Argentina earlier this month enacted the Decree of Necessity and Urgency in relation to COVID-19, requiring a national mandatory quarantine and prohibiting the movement of personnel within the country until March 31.
