Keevil Chairman of the Board To the Shareholders It was a very good year for your company. The improvement in prices for most mined products that began in 2016, and led to record fourth quarter profits a year ago, continued through 2017. Revenues were at a record $12 billion and earnings of $2.5 billion were the second highest in Teck’s history. We were able to reduce debt by a further $2 billion and ended the year with $4.7 billion in liquidity. Encouragingly, the strong year was the result of broadly-spread synchronous economic growth in much of the world, with China still growing substantially but no longer being the sole driver as had been the case for much of the last decade. The prognosis in the near term continues to be good. Teck produces steelmaking coal from six mines in Western Canada, copper from four mines in Canada, Peru and Chile and zinc from two mines in the US, as well as operating zinc and lead metallurgical plants at Trail, British Columbia.
