Boliden’s Q2 earnings disappoint despite near fivefold rise
The miner said higher metal prices boosted its earnings, while lower treatment charges and metal premiums weighed on the result.
Teck Resources, Canada’s largest diversified miner, reached a five-year agreement with unionized employees at its Trail Operations.
Teck will incur a one-time, after-tax charge to earnings in the second quarter of approximately $34 million related to a signing bonus and enhancements to pension and post-retirement benefits of which about three quarters will be a non-cash accrual.
No other details of the agreement were released.
Teck’s Trail Operations is one of the world’s largest zinc and lead smelting and refining plants.
