Australia's second-largest nickel miner, Minara Resources (ASX:MRE), reported that it aims to conduct and complete a plant maintenance shut down in October and kept its 2010 production guidance unchanged.

The press release is quoted as saying:

Minara still hopes to yield in the lower range of between 30,000 and 34,000 tonnes of nickel from its Murrin Murrin joint venture in west Australia, where January-June output was reduced because of a pipeline breakdown in May. The Murrin Murrin plant is 60 percent owned by Minara and 40 percent by Glencore International AG.
