VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - Conifex Timber Inc. ("Conifex") (TSX:CFF) today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Conifex Power Limited Partnership ("CPLP"), commenced its 72 hour run test required to achieve the commercial operation date for the Mackenzie Power Project on Saturday, October 11, 2014. The entire facility performed well and met performance expectations for a period of 24 hours. However, CPLP subsequently halted the test prior to completion as a result of a failure of certain newly installed electrical equipment. Conifex is currently working with its contractors and equipment suppliers to remediate the matter and will re-schedule the 72 hour test as soon as appropriate thereafter.
