I also heard the same thing. Teck meetings yesterday and today?
Anyhow, I found these comments from Teck/Don:

Don Lindsay, Teck
MARKETS:
Copper
• Copper fundamentals are also good but the price is unlikely to hit US$3.50/lb “anytime soon”
• A US$2.80-US$3/lb range is most likely for 2020
HIS COMPANY:
• Teck has plenty of liquidity and no significant debt due until 2035; announced stock buybacks will continue
• Lindsay is encouraged by the sales process for Zafranal, but wouldn’t comment further
• On M&A: “We’re not looking to buy anything, that’s for sure, and we haven’t started any process on selling any of the other satellite projects yet”
• Next asset to shed would be San Nicolas in Mexico, but not until prefeasibility is done in six months
Excerpts from above article! Teck either a huge liar or great poker face. "We are not looking to buy anhything that's for sure".
Elmer and team take those words as an insult and move to other majors!
