TNRD to voice support for proposed Anglo-Teck merger – q101.ca

The Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) is voicing its support for the proposed merger between Teck Resources and British multinational mining company Anglo American.

The two companies announced plans last month to create a $70-billion copper mining giant — Anglo Teck — which will be headquartered in Canada. The deal also included a commitment to spend $4.5 billion in Canada over five years and experts say the merger could help Canada boost production of critical minerals.

TNRD vice-chair Robin Smith, who is mayor of Logan Lake, said the proposed merger will greatly benefit her community, which is located near the Highland Valley Copper mine. A major expansion to extend the life of the mine to 2048 is currently underway.
