ORE Details
· Sector volatility causing concerns: Orocobre Limited (ASX: ORE) stock fell over 2.65% on October 11, 2016. On the other hand, the group reported an EBITDAX of $7.8 million for May/June for the Olaroz project. The group generated over 6,900 tonnes of production from the project (based on the report of September 2016) and intends to ramp up the production by FY17.
