Vancouver, BC–Teck Resources Limited (TSX: TCK.A and TCK.B, NYSE: TCK) (“Teck”) reported that structural engineers and representatives of the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources have conducted a preliminary site assessment of the Greenhills mine’s coal dryer building. The cause of the accident has not yet been determined.  Although it is still expected to be several days before the damage can be fully assessed and the extent of the interruption of production at Greenhills can be estimated, initial indications are that structural damage to the dryer building is minimal.
