SAO PAULO, March 18 (Reuters) - London-listed mining company Anglo American expects to get final regulatory approval for its merger with Teck Resources around the year-end, the company's Brazil CEO Ana Sanches said on Wednesday.

Sanches was speaking at a forum on mining held in Sao Paulo to bring together mining companies and possible investors, organized by the U.S. embassy. In February, Anglo American's CEO Duncan Wanblad said he expected the deal to be approved by China and South Korea some time between September and March.
