Read MoreHide Full Article
Teck Resources Ltd (TECK - Free Report) recently announced that the wildfire evacuation order issued by the District of Logan Lake has been lifted for the company’s Highland Valley Copper Operations (HVC). HVC has resumed operations and is on track to ramp up to full production. On Aug 14, Teck temporarily suspended its British Columbia-based HVC operations in response to the forest fire incident.
Earlier this month, Teck reported smoke from wildfires in southwestern British Columbia that impacted its Trail Operations metallurgical facility. Trail’s oxygen plant was closed down due to poor air quality. While Zinc and Lead refining operations continue to operate normally, lead smelting operations were temporarily idled.
On Aug 13, Trail’s oxygen plants restarted following an improvement in air quality. Operations at the Trail metallurgical facility are ramping back up to full capacity.
The company is focused on safeguarding the health and safety of employees and contractors, and continues to monitor wildfire and regional air quality conditions.
Last month, the company reported second-quarter 2021 results, wherein earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate but sales missed the same. Both the bottom-and top-line figures increased year over year.
Teck Resources expects steelmaking coal production between 25 million tons and 26 million tons in 2021. Copper production is anticipated within 275,000-290,000 tons. Zinc production is projected between 605,000 tons and 630,000 tons. The company estimates Bitumen production for 2021 between 6.6 million barrels and 8.1 million barrels.
For the third quarter, at Red Dog, the company projects sales of zinc in concentrate to be 180,000-200,000 tons. Steelmaking coal sales are projected to be 5.7-6.1 million for the quarter.
