Bloomberg Business is reporting that BHP Billiton Ltd. and Teck Resources Ltd. are among companies entering the final round of bidding to buy a stake in Barrick Gold Corp.’s Zaldivar copper mine in Chile, people familiar with the matter said.

Representatives for Barrick, BHP and Teck declined to comment.
