Bacanora Lithium – Sonora Lithium Project and Covid-19 Update
In Mexico, the Sonora government continues to maintain measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19 which includes, amongst other measures, the closing of schools and all non-essential business operations as well as cancelling events of more than 10 people. Accordingly, Bacanora’s Hermosillo pilot plant was placed in care and maintenance in late March 2020 after shipping samples to its engineering partners in the USA and China in order to maintain the Front End Engineering Design schedule. The pilot plant will remain closed until conditions are considered safe and the Government lifts its restrictions. It is currently anticipated that the pilot plant will re-open in June 2020.
