ESRI Canada today announced that Teck Resources Limited ("Teck") has selected ESRI as its platform for building a global enterprise geographic information system (GIS).  Through a three-year enterprise license agreement (ELA), Teck will deploy ESRI technology throughout the organization to support the company's exploration projects, diverse business units and numerous operations. Teck is a Vancouver-based producer of copper, metallurgical coal and zinc, molybdenum and specialty metals, with interests in several oil sands development assets.  It operates 13 mines in Canada, United States, Chile and Peru, and has active exploration projects in the Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe and Africa.  The company's exploration group has used ESRI technology for more than 15 years to assist in identifying potential mineral deposits around the world. In recent years, ESRI technology has been an integral part of Teck's spatial data management with focus on geological compilations, topographical modeling, mineral resource targeting, asset management, 3D visualization and environmental analysis.  Recognizing the opportunity to utilize a number of advanced analytical tools in conjunction with the significant time savings and efficiencies from using GIS, Teck wanted to extend the system to users in all departments across multiple jurisdictions.
