"Orocobre has completed construction of a lithium production facility in Argentina. Some of its original thoughts about how long it would take had to be adjusted along the way as government approvals were delayed. Having adeptly overcome that glitch, the company is ramping up production. Its next big test is to sell all it can produce. It has a big enough resource to think of itself as a multi-decade producer and, consequently, a possible core portfolio holding for future investors in the sector."
