WINNIPEG, MB, July 20, 2000 (RNI) Copper
anode production from the Hudson Bay Mining
and Smelting Corp's Flin Flon facility in
northern Manitoba is expected to be back at
full capacity shortly after September 23,
an official with the company told Resource
News Thursday.

The facility was in the process of a two
week shutdown and had been scheduled to re-
open around August 24 or 25, when an
explosion ripped through a reverberatory
furnace on August 8, killing one worker
and seriously injuring five others.
