TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – Canada’s largest diversified miner, Teck Resources, on Thursday appointed Ian Kilgour executive VP and new COO, as the company focuses on cost management amid dwindling commodity prices.

Kilgour joined Teck in February 2011 as senior VP for coal, and would now be responsible for all of the company’s mining operations and joint ventures in its steelmaking coal, copper and zinc business units.

Teck also announced that Dale Andres would lead its copper division, following the retirement of Roger Higgins. Andres previously held an executive role in copper strategy and North American operations and was responsible for developing the growth plan for Teck's copper business unit.

During Higgins’ five years at Teck, the company’s copper production had grown from some 300 000 t in 2008, to a yearly rate of 400 000 t in the last half of 2012.
