Teck Resources Limited (“Teck”), (TSX: TECK.A and TECK.B, NYSE:
TECK) today announced the closing of the sale of a minority
interest in its steelmaking coal business, Elk Valley Resources
(“EVR”), to Nippon Steel Corporation (“NSC”) and POSCO.
NSC has acquired a 20% interest in EVR in exchange for its prior
2.5% interest in Elkview Operations plus US$1.3 billion in cash
paid at closing to Teck and US$0.4 billion paid subsequently to
Teck out of cash flows from EVR. POSCO has exchanged its 2.5%
interest in Elkview Operations and its 20% interest in the
Greenhills joint venture, for a 3% interest in EVR.
Closing of the sale of the remaining interest (77%) in EVR to
Glencore PLC is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2024,
subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including
receipt of approvals under the Investment Canada Act and
competition approvals in several jurisdictions.
