Teck Resources Ltd. posted record copper production in the fourth quarter, in line with the company’s long-term vision to produce more of the critical mineral while preparing to exit the coal business as soon as a blockbuster deal with Glencore takes effect.
The Vancouver-based miner reported Thursday that its fourth-quarter profit rose compared with a year earlier as it ramped up operations at its Quebrada Blanca, or QB2, mine in Chile.
