Read MoreHide Full Article
As per a media release, Teck Resources Limited’s wholly owned subsidiary, Teck Australia Pty Ltd (“Teck”), implemented its right of first refusal to acquire the 49% interest held by Rox Resources Limited in the Reward zinc-lead project.
Summary of the Deal
Per the deal, Teck Resources will be paying up to $15.86 million in stock and cash to acquire Rox Resources’ stake in the Reward project, located in the northern region of Australia. However, if Teck decides to pay the full consideration in cash, then the aggregate purchase price will come to $15.09 million.
