China's Tibet Summit Resources Co, which inked a contract for battery-grade lithium carbonate with the provincial government of Salta, Argentina, said on Thursday that the project is facing great uncertainties and the company has not kicked off production yet. 

According to an announcement by Tibet Summit Resources Co, there is no clear plan to raise funds for the project so far, online outlet stcn.com reported. 

The project has not entered production stage and whether it can raise the necessary funds to start production or earn profits is uncertain.
