Teck’s Highland Valley Copper mine in British Columbia has restarted mill operations after production was temporarily suspended to manage site water supplies amid an ongoing regional drought. Teck has not disclosed the duration of the shutdown or its impact on copper output. Water availability remains tight, meaning operating conditions will remain worth monitoring despite the restart.
