Canadian miner Teck hires Barclays to sell Peru mine stake sources

Canada’s Teck Resources has hired Barclays to sell all of its 80% stake in its Zafranal copper asset in Peru, as the diversified miner accelerates efforts to exit advanced projects and focus on its massive Chilean expansion, two banking sources told Reuters on Wednesday.

Teck is likely to sell or seek a partner for Zafranal, CEO Don Lindsay has said.
