SHANGHAI, Apr. 26 (SMM) - Teck Resources Limited’s zinc output at its Red Dog mine fell 23% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2017 because of adverse weather and production interruption caused by power outage, according to the company’s quarterly report.
Lead production declined 11% on a yearly basis. Higher lead grade offset such declines.
