Teck Resources Reports Strong Q2 Operational Performance Amid Merger Progress
Teck Resources Limited reported strong operational performance in the second quarter of 2026, achieving record adjusted EBITDA margins of 61%. This was driven by a 25% increase in copper production and favorable commodity pricing. The company maintained stable operations at its QB mine for three consecutive quarters while managing net cash unit costs despite rising energy prices. Teck also advanced engineering work on the Highland Valley Copper mine life extension to 95%, ensuring continued operation through 2046, and optimized Trail operations to boost zinc profitability. Additionally, Teck strengthened its balance sheet by increasing net cash holdings by $756 million during the quarter in preparation for an upcoming merger with Anglo American. The company anticipates completing the Anglo American merger within a revised timeline of 12–18 months pending regulatory approval from China's SAMR. Management also outlined plans to accelerate tailings management and expand production at Trail, while acknowledging near-term challenges including planned maintenance shutdowns that may impact second-half output.
