Highland Valley warns of rocky road ahead
LOGAN LAKE, B.C. — Teck Resources is warning of tough times ahead for its massive Highland Valley Copper mine in Logan Lake.
Highland Valley Superintendent of Environment and Community Affairs Peter Martell says there are a pair of big challenges facing the mine this fall.
“Since 2011, the price of copper has fallen by 46 per cent, and remains very low. In addition, our production is declining as we transition into a lower grade area of the mine,” explained Martell.
