TECK COMINCO ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF

ADDITIONAL 5% INTEREST IN FORT HILLS OIL SANDS PROJECT

Vancouver, BC -- Teck Cominco Limited (TSX – TCK.A; TCK.B; NYSE – TCK) announced today that it has entered into an agreement with UTS Energy Corporation and Petro-Canada to subscribe for an additional 5% interest in the Fort Hills Energy Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”), which is developing the Fort Hills oil sands project in Alberta, Canada.

Under the agreement, each of Teck Cominco and Petro-Canada will earn an additional 5% interest in the Partnership by funding an additional $375 million of Partnership expenditures, beyond current earn-in obligations. As a result of the agreement, the interests of Teck Cominco, UTS and Petro-Canada in the Partnership will be adjusted to 20%, 20% and 60%, respectively. Teck Cominco will satisfy the subscription price for the additional interest by contributing 27.5% of Fort Hills project expenditures after project spending reaches $2.5 billion and before project spending reaches $7.5 billion. Closing of the transaction is subject to definitive documentation.

Teck Cominco President and Chief Executive Officer Don Lindsay said: “We are pleased to be able to increase our interest in the Fort Hills partnership. This asset will contribute significantly to the portfolio of Teck Cominco for decades to come.”
