Company NewsThursday, July 02, 2009 Cliffs Natural Resources announced that the owners of the Hibbing Taconite Joint Venture in Minnesota have made the decision to extend the plant’s current shutdown status through the first quarter of 2010 as a result of continuing soft demand for iron ore pellets. The facility was originally shut down in May 2009, following an idling of two of Hibbing’s three pelletizing furnaces in March 2009. The initial shutdown had been expected to last 15 weeks. Hibbing Taconite has the rated capacity of 8.0 million tons per year and employs approximately 700 people when operating at full capacity.
