$9.5M agreement to transfer Elk Valley Resources to Swiss firm expected to close next Thursday
Ottawa says it has approved Teck Resources Ltd.’s sale of a majority stake in its steelmaking coal business to Swiss commodities giant Glencore.
The Vancouver-based miner said it expects to receive $9.5 billion from the sale, excluding closing adjustments. As part of the transaction, Champagne said Glencore has committed to establishing and maintaining a Vancouver head office for Elk Valley Resources for at least 10 years, along with regional offices in Calgary and Sparwood, B.C.
Glencore’s $25-billion hostile takeover attempt had “raised very serious concerns and was rejected by shareholders,” Champagne said.
