The Antamina copper/zinc mine, in Peru, will resume operations at 80% capacity, 22.5%-owner Teck Resources reported on Wednesday.

The mine will gradually ramp up to full production capacity in the third quarter, while adhering to comprehensive Covid-19 protocols.

Antamina operated under an exemption from the Peruvian government to its Covid-19 emergency decree issued in late March, but suspended operations in mid-April.

Besides Teck’s 22.50% shareholding, Antamina is owned by BHP (33.75%), Glencore (33.75%) and Mitsubishi Corporation (10%).

The mine produced 101-million tonnes in 2019.
