Teck Resources says its Highland Valley Copper mine southwest of Kamloops is ramping up to full operation after being shutdown by an approaching wildfire.
The District of Logan Lake ordered the evacuation of the Highland Valley site on August 15th but that order has now been lifted.
The nearly 640-square kilometre Tremont Creek wildfire threatened Logan Lake and Cherry Creek earlier this week but rain and cool conditions have calmed it and the wildfire service says mop-up is now underway in the Logan Lake area.
Teck says it will work to protect the health and safety of its employees and contractors and will continue to keep a close eye on the state of the fire and related air quality issues.
