2020-03-19 12:00:30 [Print]
Teck Resources Limited continues to operate the Antamina mine under an exemption from the recently-announced restrictions imposed by the Peruvian Government amid the coronavirus outbreak in Peru. The Antamina mine is one of the world's largest zinc and copper mines. Teck Resources has 22.5% interest in this mine.
Although there have been no confirmed cases of COVID-19 at the mine site, Teck Resources has taken proper precautions to protect its workforce during this tough time. The company noted that it will continue to maintain its critical operations with lower workforce throughout the 15-day national quarantine period. Teck Resources expects there will be no further negative impact of coronavirus and hence, any temporary reduction in production is anticipated to be recovered in line with the current-year guidance.
