Canadian diversified miner Teck Resources on Wednesday announced that it had suspended construction activities at the $4.8-billion Quebrada Blanca Phase 2 (QB2) project to support Chile\u2019s efforts to limit the transmission of Covid-19.<\/p>\n
The suspension would be for an initial two weeks, at which point Teck would reassess the status of the project.<\/p>\n
About 15 000 people work on the QB2 project, which would produce 316 000 t\/y of copper-equivalent in its first five years of operation.<\/p>\n
The suspension of QB2 comes a day after Anglo American withdrew its 10 000-strong workforce at the 300 000 t\/y Quellaveco copper project, in neighbouring Peru, to comply with a government-imposed 15-day quarantine period in that country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
