Conifex also announced today that it will temporarily curtail sawmill operations at its Mackenzie, British Columbia facility for an approximately seven-week period commencing May 19, 2026, with a target restart in July 2026.

Article content

This planned sawmill curtailment is primarily driven by log inventory levels and fibre availability, in conjunction with seasonal logging breakup conditions impacting supply across the BC Interior. Logging operations are expected to resume in early June, subject to, among other things, weather conditions. The curtailment represents an approximately 25 million board feet supply impact.

We continue to advance initiatives underway to broaden our available financing options.

Conifex remains committed to the Mackenzie region, our employees, and our customers, and will continue to monitor conditions closely.

Forward-looking statements involve significant uncertainties, should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be an accurate indication of whether or not such results will be achieved.
