Teck made a gross profit of $202 million at its Trail smelter in the second quarter of this year, up from $42 million for the same period of last year.
The federal government will pay for nearly half of an $850-million expansion of the Teck Trail operation to increase its capacity to process critical minerals.
The company has approached the city about reducing the amount it pays, which sits at 60 per cent of total municipal tax revenue. Teck would like to get that down to 50 per cent over the next decade.
The company's fourth quarter financial report includes a gross profit of $106-million locally, compared to $15-million in October, November and December of 2024.
Teck says produced nearly 230,000 tonnes of refined zinc at the Trail smelter in 2025, which was at the upper end of its projection, but down from the previous year.
The local operation's concentration on producing more silver, germanium and indium with reductions in refined lead and refined zinc helped increase its gross profit in the third quarter.
