EXTERNAL NEWS RELEASE

For Immediate Release: May 30, 2008

UPDATE ON TRAIL INCIDENT FROM TECK COMINCO METALS LIMITED

Columbia River Water Quality Returns to Pre-incident Levels

Trail, BC — Results of water quality tests conducted downstream from Teck Cominco’s Trail Operations show that lead levels did not exceed the BC - Columbia River Water Quality Objective. While the lead levels increased during the spill, they subsequently returned to pre-incident levels.

More than 25 samples were tested and all results have been provided to British Columbia’s Ministry of Environment.

During the time of the spill, lead levels in the Columbia River ranged from 0.8 to 29 µg/L (micrograms per litre or parts per billion). The BC - Columbia River Water Quality Objective for lead is 37.9 µg/L. The lead concentration on May 30 was 1.0 µg/L, which is within the typical range of 0.2 µg/L to 2.0 µg/L for the Columbia River.

Teck Cominco’s Trail Operations continue to investigate a failed heat exchanger in the lead refinery, which resulted in electrolyte, an acidic solution containing lead, being discharged into the Columbia River at approximately 5:30 p.m. on May 28, 2008.

Operations in part of the lead refinery were suspended for approximately one hour to isolate the source of the incident and were restarted once it was deemed safe. Lead smelter and zinc operations were unaffected by the incident.

Teck Cominco continues to cooperate fully with all regulatory agencies.
