Teck to begin Quebrada Blanca mine upgrade in November
Canadian miner Teck Resources Ltd will begin work in November on a $4.8-billion phase 2 project at its Quebrada Blanca copper mine in northern Chile, Chile's Mines Minister said on Tuesday.
The company received environmental approval for the plan earlier this month, which aims to extend the life of the aging deposit by 25 years and boost production to 300 000 t of copper annually.
