Canada's Teck Resources said Monday it had temporarily shut down the semi-autogenous grinding mill at its Carmen de Andacollo (CdA) copper operation in Chile owing to a mechanical issue, but stressed that it expected no material impact to production for the year.

The Vancouver-based miner estimated repairs would take about a month and said it planned to reschedule other maintenance work to coincide with the downtime.

“We do not expect a material production impact from the downtime, and our previously disclosed guidance for 2025 total annual copper production and 2025 annual copper production for CdA remains unchanged,” Teck said in a statement.

The company also reported an unrelated outage of the shiploader at its Quebrada Blanca (QB) port facility in northern Chile. Repairs were also expected to take about a month. However, mining and plant operations at QB remain unaffected, and Teck said it had the capacity to ship via alternative ports.

As a result, Teck reiterated that its 2025 copper production and sales guidance for QB were unchanged.
