“Fluor has worked on several projects at Highland Valley Copper and is looking forward to expanding its footprint in British Columbia, a key mining region with a long history of copper extraction,” said Harish Jammula, President of Fluor’s Mining & Metals business. “HVC MLE will strengthen Canada’s critical minerals sector and help meet strong global demand for copper. Fluor’s unmatched experience in large scale copper concentrators, and our expertise in managing complex extensions, will be key to delivering this project.”

“This extension of Canada’s largest copper mine, Highland Valley Copper, is foundational to our copper growth strategy,” said Jonathan Price, President and CEO of Teck Resources. “Given the strong demand for copper as an energy transition metal, the HVC MLE project will generate a robust internal rate of return and secure access to this critical mineral for the next two decades. The project will strengthen Canada’s critical minerals sector, generate new economic activity, and support the continuation of jobs and community benefits for many more years to come.”

The project is expected to create approximately 2,900 local jobs during the construction phase, which is scheduled to begin immediately.
