Adjusted earnings were 45 cents per share, up from just four cents a year earlier. Revenue rose to $2.8 billion, driven by record copper production at its <strong>Quebrada Blanca</strong> operations in Chile.</p>
<p>Copper production reached 122,000 tons for the quarter, up from 103,000 tons a year earlier, while zinc in concentrate declined to 146,000 tons from 182,000 tons. Management remains focused on copper growth, having completed the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/07/39651178/canadian-regulators-ok-glencore-teck-resources-deal-future-m-a-sanctions-need-exceptional-circumst">sale of its steelmaking coal business</a> to <strong>Glencore</strong> and using the proceeds to reduce debt and return $1.8 billion to shareholders through buybacks and dividends in 2024.</p>
<p>While most of this business would not be affected by the proposed 25% tariff on Canadian goods, Teck does export about 15% of its revenues to the U.S. in refined zinc, lead, and specialty metals such as germanium, indium, and sulfur products.</p>
<p>The situation in the uranium market is vastly different. Executives from <strong>Cameco</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCJ#NYSE">CCJ</a>), the world&#8217;s largest publicly traded uranium company, expressed concerns about a proposed 10% U.S. tariff on Canadian energy imports, anticipated for March 4.</p>
<p>CFO <strong>Grant Isaac</strong> noted that such a tariff would lead to price inflation across the uranium market, as non-tariff suppliers would raise their prices to just below the tariff threshold.</p>
<p>"A 10% proposed tariff from a major supply source like Canada will effectively raise the uranium price by 10%. It's kind of Econ 101," Isaac said on the earnings call.</p>
<p>CEO <strong>Tim Gitzel</strong> agreed with the assessment, recalling the 2017 Section 232 investigation into critical minerals imports, which prompted the company to add contractual protections against future tariffs.</p>
<p>"Our neighbor to the south has discovered the hammer in the toolbox, which is tariffs and we began to prepare for a future where they might use it and good thing we did. We wrote a number of contracts that effectively moved tariffs into the tax clause of a contract," he said.</p>
<p>Uranium prices have risen due to concerns over supply constraints, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36836481/surging-uranium-demand-supply-constraints-fuel-predictions-of-record-price-increases">peaking above $100</a> per pound a year ago. Although they have declined to below $65 per pound since then, Gitzel noted that utilities have secured less than 40% of their required uranium supply through 2040, leaving an estimated shortfall of 2.1 billion pounds.</p>
<p>As bringing on new production is challenging, he expects the shortage will intensify in the mid-2030s, when major mines, including Cameco&#8217;s <strong>Cigar Lake</strong>, reach the end of their mine life without adequate replacements.</p>
<p>"Cigar Lake satisfies 10% of global demand. That's an 18-million-pound hole in supply that the market has not yet fully appreciated," he warned.</p>
