Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc. has decided to defer a planned six-week shutdown of the Lanigan Mine in Saskatchewan in order to manage inventories. The company said the Lanigan downtime will now probably happen as part of the annual maintenance shutdown in the summer or at some other time.
The company said that the planned 12-week shutdown at the Allan Mine beginning in February will proceed as planned (GM Nov. 23, p. 1). PotashCorp is also cutting 140 jobs at the Cory Mine.
