Test Runs at AbitibiBowater

Efforts to resume an idled paper machine at AbitibiBowater's mill in Fort Frances continue.

Spokesperson Jean-Phillipe Cote says the company's been running tests this week of machine number 6 to see if it can produce alternative types of paper.

Cote says while they are examining its capabilities, there are no firm plans at this time to convert the machine which has been down since March.
