Canada's Goldcorp, Teck team up to develop Chile mine projects

TORONTO (Reuters) - Goldcorp Inc (Toronto:G.TO - News), the world's most valuable gold miner, and diversified miner Teck Resources Ltd (TCKb.TO) said on Thursday that they have agreed to form a joint venture to combine and develop neighboring projects in Chile.

In a move that will cut development costs as metal prices languish at multi-year lows, Goldcorp will combine its El Morro project with Teck's Relincho project.

A preliminary economic assessment plans a conveyor to transport ore from the El Morro to a single line mill at Relincho. An initial capital cost target of $3.5 billion to bring the two projects into production compares to previous estimates of $3.9 billion for El Morro and $4.5 billion for Relincho.
