Conifex Timber Inc. will further extend the temporary curtailment of operations at its Mackenzie, British Columbia, Canada sawmill for an additional five weeks to July 6, 2020, as the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to adversely affect global demand for forest products.
During this time, Conifex will also work with relevant participants towards securing a more affordable sawlog supply capable of supporting the sawmill’s re-start as planned.
The curtailment is not expected to impact bioenergy operations.
Conifex and its subsidiaries' primary business currently includes timber harvesting, reforestation, forest management, sawmilling logs into lumber and wood chips, and value added lumber finishing and distribution.
