Meanwhile, the group’s Olaroz segment delivered a decent operating revenue of US$33.5 million for September quarter 2016 while gross cash margin reached US$5,755/tonne.

On the other hand, ORE stock already delivered over 55.6% during this year to date (as of November 21, 2016) placing them at higher levels. Concerns over oversupply in Lithium market might also hurt the stock sentiment.
