Teck Resources Ltd Dossier
Qualitative Analysis
Business overview
Teck Resources Limited is a leading Canadian resource company focused on responsibly providing metals essential to economic development and the energy transition. Following the strategic divestiture of its steelmaking coal business in mid-2024 and its oil sands business in early 2023, Teck has successfully rebalanced its portfolio to focus primarily on low-carbon base metals, specifically copper and zinc. The company operates world-class mining assets across North and South America, including the Highland Valley Copper operations in Canada, Red Dog zinc operations in Alaska, and the major Quebrada Blanca (QB) copper operations in Chile. In late 2025, Teck agreed to a landmark merger of equals with Anglo American to combine and form 'Anglo Teck', a global critical minerals champion headquartered in Vancouver, Canada.
