Antamina Temporarily Suspends Operations
14 April 2020 - 5:44AM
Teck Resources Limited (TSX: TECK.A and TECK.B, NYSE: TECK)
("Teck”) announced today that Compania Minera Antamina, in which
Teck has a 22.5% interest along with BHP (33.75%), Glencore
(33.75%) and Mitsubishi Corporation (10%), has temporarily
suspended operations at the Antamina mine as part of its response
to COVID-19.
The Peruvian Government has allowed Antamina to change out its
previously reduced workforce, which has been in place at site since
the Peruvian national state of emergency period began 4 weeks ago.
The current state of emergency in Peru has been extended to April
26. As a result, Antamina has temporarily suspended operations and
is demobilizing the majority of its remaining 2,400-person
workforce over the coming days. Appropriate prevention protocols
will be applied during demobilization and subsequent remobilization
to safeguard the health of workers and local communities. The site
will be cleaned and disinfected during this period in preparation
for a safe restart with fresh crews which is expected within the
next two weeks.
