South Korean trading house Nokia Corp. said on Wednesday it has set up a joint venture with Canadian energy companies and a Japanese trading house to develop coal mines in Canada.

The $ 11 million Comox Joint Venture with Canada's Compliance Energy Corp (CEC.V) and Japan's Itochu (8001.T) was established to enter Raven coal projects in Canada, Nokia Corp. said.
