Vancouver, B.C. – September 9, 2025 – Todd Stone, President & CEO of the Association for Mineral Exploration (AME) made the following statement on the proposed merger between Anglo American and Teck Resources Ltd.:
“The Association for Mineral Exploration (AME) welcomes news of a proposed merger of equals between Anglo American and Teck Resources Ltd.
“The proposed merger brings together world-class mining companies with significant histories and commitments to mineral exploration in Canada.
“Canada’s potential for future responsible mineral development is recognized through Anglo Teck plans to invest at least CAD$300 million (over five years following completion) in critical mineral exploration and technology in Canada. These opportunities include significant development opportunities like the Galore Creek and Schaft Creek projects in Northwestern British Columbia, Canada.
“In addition, British Columbia’s role as a global mineral exploration hub is further bolstered by plans for the new company to be headquartered in Vancouver, BC. This showcases Canada and its importance as a global player in mineral exploration and mining.”
The Association for Mineral Exploration (AME) is the lead association for the mineral exploration and development industry based in British Columbia. Established in 1912, AME represents, advocates and promotes the interests of more than 6,000 members who are engaged in mineral exploration and development in BC and globally. AME encourages a safe, economically strong and environmentally responsible industry by providing clear initiatives, policies, events and tools to support its membership in delivering responsible projects that advance reconciliation and provide benefit to all British Columbians.
