Orocobre Limited: First Battery Grade Lithium Carbonate Produced from Salar de Olaroz

Orocobre Limited (TSX:ORL,ASX:ORE) reports production of battery grade lithium carbonate from Salar de Olaroz brines.

The press release is quoted as saying:

Orocobre’s analysis shows that the lithium carbonate is of greater than 99.9% purity* and of higher purity than the specifications for battery grade material sold by existing producers. This material was produced by refining a lower purity product previously produced at the company’s facilities at Olaroz with recirculated brines. As such, the Company considers the material to be representative of what could be expected in commercial production.
