Teck to re-start work at Quebrada Blanca 2 copper project in Chile

Canada’s Teck said on Monday it would reinitiate work on its Quebrada Blanca phase 2 copper project in Chile after shutting it down in March because of the novel coronavirus outbreak.

Teck vice president Amparo Cornejo said in a Chilean mining forum that the company was working closely with local authorities and hoped to reach full staffing levels at the project within three months.

"Obviously we will do this only if the health conditions in the country permit it," Cornejo said.
