Vancouver, B.C. – Teck Resources Limited (TSX: TECK.A and TECK.B, NYSE: TECK) (“Teck”) today announced a new business structure to support its shift to a pure-play energy transition metals company focused on growth.
“This new structure will ensure Teck is optimally positioned to operate safely, efficiently and responsibly while capitalizing on profitable growth opportunities and enhancing value for our shareholders and all stakeholders,” said Jonathan Price, President and CEO. “This change simplifies our business with a streamlined executive leadership team and regional structure to support our strategy focused on growth in copper, balanced with shareholder returns and the long-term resiliency of our business.”
The new business structure organizes Teck around two regional business units:
- The North America business unit, which includes Highland Valley Copper, Red Dog and Trail operations, and the Galore Creek, Schaft Creek, and New Range copper growth projects.
- The Latin America (LATAM) business unit, which includes Carmen de Andacollo and Quebrada Blanca operations, Teck’s interest in Antamina, and the Zafranal, San Nicolas, and NuevaUnión copper growth projects.
The North America and LATAM business units will be supported by enterprise-wide functions and a dedicated Projects group that will develop and execute brownfield and greenfield projects.
In alignment with Teck’s new organizational structure, effective September 1, 2024, the executive leadership team reporting to President and CEO Jonathan Price has been reshaped:
- Ian Anderson, currently Senior Vice President (SVP) and Chief Commercial Officer, has been appointed Executive Vice President (EVP) and Chief Commercial Officer, responsible for margin enhancement through sales and procurement strategies and execution.
