(Kitco News) – Teck Resources, one of Canada’s leading mining companies, today reported that its logistics chain between west coast terminals and B.C. operations has been temporarily disrupted due to heavy rain, flooding and mudslides.
Teck said it has implemented measures to mitigate the effect of the disruption, diverting some trains to Ridley Terminals in Prince Rupert. CP and CN have begun repairs but do not currently have estimated return to service dates, the company added.
According to the company’s statement, the overall impact and any potential effect on Q4 sales will be dependent on the duration of the logistics chain disruption.
Importantly, Teck pointed out that production at its operations has not been impacted at this time.
