Allkem Limited (ASX|TSX: AKE), a leading lithium producer, is pleased to announce that Stage 2 of the Olaroz Lithium Facility has achieved first production. Wet lithium carbonate cake has been produced at the filter presses, marking a significant milestone for the company.
Key Points:

The Olaroz Lithium Facility is managed by Sales de Jujuy SA, a joint venture between Allkem, Toyota Tsusho Corporation (“TTC”), and JEMSE.
With the first production achieved and mechanical completion at 99.5% completion, the company will focus on completing the commissioning process.
