WCCC will suspend operations at PCI producing Dillon mine, located on the company’s Burnt River property in Northeast British Columbia, at the end of this month.

WCCC said the suspension would not result in disruptions to supply of PCI coal to customers, as the coal would be sourced from a 175,000t stockpile at Ridley Terminals.
