Teck warns of up to 30 000 t zinc loss following equipment failure

An electrical equipment failure at the Trail Operations zinc refinery on Sunday could cost base metals miner Teck Resources between 20 000 t and 30 000 t in lost production.

The dual listed miner reported on Monday that the equipment failure at the British Columbia-based refinery affected one of four rectifiers and that production would be reduced by about 25% while repairs were under way.
