Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA, Dec. 02, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Orocobre Limited (ASX: ORE, TSX: ORL) (“Orocobre” or “the Company”) provides the following update on expected lithium carbonate pricing for the December quarter.
The indicative weighted average price of lithium carbonate sales for the December quarter is now expected to be approximately US$5,400/tonne FOB1, subject to achieving the planned shipping schedule.Market conditions remain soft and Orocobre has made the decision to meet current pricing to ensure retention of market share.Managing Director and CEO, Mr. Martín Pérez de Solay commented, “Lithium chemical prices are well below incentive pricing for green-fields projects but are expected to recover in the medium term. Whilst our price guidance for the quarter has decreased, operational and cost improvements will limit the impact on our operating margin.“Orocobre is in the fortunate position of having a very strong balance sheet and the business continues to focus on reducing the cost of production through this period of market weakness to maintain our position as one of the lowest cost producers of lithium chemicals.”Sales for the March 2020 quarter remain under negotiation and Orocobre will provide an update of the expected weighted average price as part of the regular reporting schedule in the new year.
