Teck Resources Limited Restarts Operation of Pend Oreille Mine

Teck Resources Limited restarted operation of its Pend Oreille zinc and lead mine in northeastern Washington State. Recently, the first shipment of zinc and lead was shipped to its nearby Trail Operations in British Columbia for processing.

Pend Oreille has an expected annual production rate of 44,000 tonnes of zinc in concentrate per year. The reopening of the mine will bring an estimated $20 million of local investment during the start-up phase and supports approximately 230 jobs in Pend Oreille County.
