Lead smelting operations have returned to normal at Teck Resources’ Trail complex following a temporary shutdown last week.

Smoke from the British Columbia wildfires forced Teck to suspend its Linde plant, which provides oxygen to Trail’s operations. As a result, lead smelting production was shut down, though zinc smelting was unaffected.

Teck spokesperson Chris Stannell said over email that “regional air quality conditions continue to be actively monitored.”

The Linde shutdown has thus far been the only reported instance of mining operations being affected by B.C.’s wildfire season.

Taseko Mines spokesperson Brian Battison said last week that procedures are in place if fires get too close to its Gibraltar mine, which was temporarily closed last year after its highway access was blocked by wildfires, but so far has not been affected this year.

New Gold joined the province’s fight against the wildfires, sending one of its fire engines and four firefighters to help efforts in the Burns Lake fire zone in central B.C., which is close to its New Afton mine. The company also opened its Blackwater exploration project as a base camp for fire crews.
