Mining Dispatch reporting on operations & technology and labour & safety.
Labour & safety
Teck gives no number for the production hit, only that it depends on how long this goes. The length of the strike is the thing to watch.
Labour & safety Analysis
MSHA's September 3, 2026 Bald Mountain notice names a pipe-jack contractor death under Kinross control, and still leaves cause, employer and enforcement open.
Operations & technology
Concentrate output is a ramp-up milestone. Commercial production is the declaration to watch: both sources expected it in the third quarter, and we have not found one yet.
Labour & safety
This is a preliminary notice. MSHA has not stated a cause, so the controller listing says nothing yet about responsibility.
