Falconbridge Ltd has scheduled various maintenance and vacation shutdowns during the summer months at its Sudbury smelter.

?With the excess smelting capacity we now have in Sudbury, we?ve scheduled these summer shutdowns in order to reduce our operating costs and run the plants at full capacity for the rest of the year. The shutdowns have already been factored into our production forecasts and won?t have any impact on our annual production and sales estimates,? says Joe Laezza, senior vice-president.

The Sudbury smelter will take a maintenance shutdown from June 18 to July 7 inclusive and a vacation shutdown from July 8 to Aug. 8.
