The mine is located about 50 kilometres southwest of Kamloops, B.C.
Teck president Jonathan Price says in a statement that site preparation work is expected to start shortly along with work to secure additional required permits, with a final construction decision by Teck's board of directors expected later this year.
Price says the decision will not only support the extension, but will strengthen the North America critical minerals supply chain and contribute to jobs and economic activity.
The company says the project is expected to create roughly 2,900 jobs during construction and support 1,500 jobs once in operation.
