April 20 (Reuters) - Sumitomo Metal Mining on Thursday said it continues to support Teck Resources' plan to create two separate companies.


Sumitomo is a shareholder in Teck, which operates under a dual-class structure and needs approval from two-thirds of shareholders on both sides for the restructuring. Canada's Keevil family owns the majority of 'A' class of shares, which have more voting power than the numerous 'B' class shares held by institutions.
