Lithium miner Orocobre has reported a difficult quarter in the three months to March, with production down 11%, to 2 732 t at its Olaroz lithium facility, in Argentina.
Orocobre on Wednesday noted that quarantine restrictions imposed by the Argentine government to combat the spread of Covid-19, along with planned maintenance at the project, had resulted on Olaroz losing 21 days of production during the March quarter.
