EXTERNAL NEWS RELEASE

For Immediate Release: April 25, 2007

TECK COMINCO LIMITED ANNOUNCES SHARE SPLIT AND DIVIDEND

Vancouver, B.C. -- Teck Cominco Limited announced today that its shareholders have approved a two-for–one subdivision of its outstanding Class A common shares and Class B subordinate voting shares (the “Share Split”), effective as of the close of business on May 7, 2007 (the “Split Record Date”). Teck Cominco also announced that it will pay an eligible dividend of $0.50 per share on its Class A common shares and Class B subordinate voting shares outstanding on a post-split basis on July 3, 2007, to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 22, 2007.

Shareholders of record on the Split Record Date will keep their current share certificates and will be provided with additional share certificates representing the Class A common shares or Class B subordinate voting shares to which they are entitled as a result of the Share Split. It is currently expected that the Company or its transfer agent, CIBC Mellon Trust Company, will mail those certificates on or about May 10, 2007 (the “Mailing Date”). Currently outstanding share certificates representing Class A common and Class B subordinate voting shares should be retained by shareholders and should not be forwarded to the Company or its transfer agent.

Pursuant to the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange, the Class A common shares and Class B subordinate voting shares will commence trading on a subdivided basis at the opening of business on May 3, 2007, being two trading days prior to the Split Record Date. Pursuant to the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, the Class B subordinate voting shares will commence trading on a subdivided basis on that exchange one business day after the Mailing Date.
