Teck Resources Ltd. is planning to separate its multibillion-dollar steelmaking coal business to focus more on industrial metals.

The Canadian miner confirmed it’s “evaluating alternatives” for the operation, including “the possible spin-out of an interest in that business to its shareholders.” Bloomberg reported earlier Thursday that Teck was expected to announce plans to separate the division.
