Teck Resources will become Teck Metals Corp., which will be a “growth-oriented” base metals company focused on copper and anchored by Teck’s QB2 copper mine project in Chile, which is currently under construction and expected to double the company’s copper production by 2024. Last year, it committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions from its entire value chain, as well as across its operations.
In exchange for the coal assets, Elk Valley Resources will make quarterly payments to Teck Metals consisting of royalty payments and preferred share redemptions through a transition capital structure. NSC’s exchange of its Elkview interest and a $1.025-billion cash investment will give it a 10 per cent stake in Elk Valley Resources and the transition capital structure, while Posco will receive a 2.5 per cent interest in the company and the transition capital structure for its stakes in Elkview and Greenhills.
