Three generations of the Keevil family built what is now Canada’s biggest diversified mining company over more than half a century
. During that time, Teck threw its hat into the ring in every major commodity, built many mines in Canada and overseas, and supported Canadian entrepreneurs by funding hundreds of Canadian exploration companies.
“There’s a big loss of value to the country,” Mr. McEwen said. “Norm recognizes that when the head office moves out of the country, the contribution to the social fabric, and the community changes, because it’s a different jurisdiction, and a different country running it.” “He said to himself, this will never happen to Teck. And believe me, he will never sell out, not only to Glencore, but not to anybody.”
Under Mr. Keevil’s father, Teck diversified like crazy. Over the next two decades, Teck had its hands in almost every facet of the domestic mining industry, developing gold, copper, oil and gas, niobium and silver mines all across Canada, and supporting hundreds of Canadian entrepreneurs along the way.
