07 March 2025 - 12:01AM
Teck Resources Limited (TSX: TECK.A and TECK.B, NYSE: TECK)
(“Teck”) today announced an agreement with Bunker Hill Mining
Corp. (“Bunker Hill”) for a US$40-million equity investment
intended to enhance the North American critical minerals supply
chain by securing high-quality, cost-competitive zinc and lead
concentrate from Idaho’s Silver Valley to feed Teck’s Trail
Operations (“Trail”). The investment is subject to various closing
conditions, including completion of certain restructuring
transactions and a marketed private placement by Bunker Hill and
receipt of all necessary stockholder, regulatory and stock exchange
approvals.
Highlights:
- Investment will support the completion of development of the
nearby Bunker Hill Mine, located 60 kilometres southeast of Coeur
d’Alene, Idaho.
- High-quality, cost-competitive feed from Bunker Hill will
provide additional optionality and is expected to enhance Trail’s
annual EBITDA.
- Zinc and lead concentrate produced by the mine will go to Trail
under an existing offtake agreement and supplement existing feed
from Teck’s Red Dog Operations and from other sources.
