Teck Resources (TECK.B) is selling its shuttered Quintette coal mine in northeast British Columbia to privately held Conuma Resources for $120 million in cash.
In addition to the cash payment, Teck Resources says Conuma Resources will pay it 25% of its net profits going forward once Conuma recovers its initial investment in the Quintette mine.

The sale of the Quintette mine is subject to regulatory approval is and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2023.
