| Teck |
Canadian mining company Teck Resources has temporarily shut down one of four sections of its electrolytic zinc plant at the Trail Operations complex in British Columbia due to a localized fire on September 24. Despite the shutdown, production in the other three sections of the zinc plant remains operational, alongside the production of lead, specialty metals, and by-products, the company reported.
Teck’s zinc production at Trail Operations was already impacted in the second quarter, with a 4.5% drop in refined zinc output to 64,900 tons due to unplanned maintenance and issues with zinc quality. The company has maintained its refined zinc production guidance for the year, projecting output to fall between 275,000 and 290,000 tons.
Teck Faces Challenges Amid Production Setbacks
The Trail Operations facility is one of the largest zinc and lead smelting complexes in the world. Teck's commitment to stabilizing production in the face of setbacks underscores the complexity of running large-scale industrial operations. While the fire has led to a partial shutdown, the company is confident that its annual targets can still be met, barring further unforeseen disruptions.
