Sherritt International Corp, is shutting down operations at its refinery in Fort Saskatchewan, Alta., after running out of the feed inventory it receives from its Moa mine in Cuba. The company says the shutdown will continue until mining and processing activities at Moa resume and the refinery feed pipeline is rebuilt. "Sherritt is continuing to work on a path to rebuild the pipeline of feed as soon as practicable," a company spokesperson told CBC News. "In the meantime, the refinery is continuing to produce fertilizers and sulphuric acid for resale and there are plans in place for maintenance activities that will fully utilize Sherritts Alberta workforce." Toronto-based Sherritt pulls back from mining joint venture in Cuba amid expansion of U.S. sanctions Operations at Sherritt's Moa joint venture in Cuba were paused earlier this year as the country faced fuel shortages since the U.S. cut off access to oil from Venezuela in January.
