Canada's largest diversified miner Teck Resources has fully ditched coal after closing the sale of its minority stake in coking coal operations to Japan's Nippon Steel Corporation and South Korean steelmaker POSCO.
Nippon Steel now has a 20% interest in Teck's coal business, known as Elk Valley Resources. In exchange, the Japanese firm gave up its prior 2.5% stake in one of Teck's coal operations and has paid $1.7 billion in cash.
POSCO traded its interests in two of Teck's coal operations for a 3% stake in the overall coking coal business.
The transactions are part of a deal with Glencore in November 2023, which will see the Swiss miner and commodities trader pay $6.9 billion for 77% of Elk Valley Resources.
