Canadian nickel miner Inco Limited said on Thursday that its Indonesian subsidiary PT.Inco is now back in full production after one of its electric furnaces that went down late May, got back into production.
The company said the repair was longer than anticipated and would cut PT.Inco?s third quarter production. It did not give figures. PT.Inco said on July that production loss due to furnace break down would be about 8-9 million pounds.
PT Inco has lowered its 2006 production target from 167 million pounds of nickel-in-mate to between 158 and 159 pounds of nickel-in-mate. (alex)
