Orocobre Limited announced sales and production result for the fourth quarter and production result for the full year 2017. For the quarter, the company's production was 2,536 tonnes.  Operations were impacted by weather conditions slowing  pond evaporation rates and preventing delivery of a soda ash, a key reagent in the production process, which resulted in the cessation of operations for three days.  

For the year, the company's total production is up 72% on the financial year 2016 to 11,862 tonnes.

For the quarter, the company's sales revenue was USD 27.4 million on total sales of 2,566 tonnes with average sales prices up 5% to USD 10,696/tonne.
