(Reuters) - Glencore (LON:GLEN) Plc has offered $22.5 billion for Canadian copper miner Teck Resources (TSX:TECKa) Ltd, the latest in a wave of deals in the global copper industry amid surging demand and tight supply for the red metal anchoring the green energy transition.
"The green energy transition has been a growth driver for many aspects of the metals and mining industry, with demand for key metals such as copper, nickel, lithium and cobalt expected to remain on an upward trajectory and supply to trend downward," S&P Global (NYSE:SPGI) Commodity Insights analyst Aude Marjolin said in a report.
Following are some of the largest copper mining deals since 2022, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.
