Teck Announces Possible Andacollo Permitting Delay

Vancouver, BC - Teck Resources Limited (TSX: TCK.A and TCK.B, NYSE: TCK)(“Teck”) announced today that challenges to the previously granted permits for the water supply arrangements for its Andacollo copper hypogene project may result in delays to the start-up of the project. Teck is in dialogue with national and regional authorities to resolve the issue. Teck has contingency plans for alternate water supply and is now proceeding with them in case they become necessary. Given the status of the relevant permits, Teck believes that there is now a risk that start-up of the hypogene project will be delayed beyond the current target for first ore through the mill of November 2009. The length of any delay will depend on the outcome of discussions with authorities and the nature of required changes to Andacollo's water system, if any.

The proposed sale of a gold royalty interest in the Andacollo project to Royal Gold Inc. announced on April 6, 2009 is not expected to close until after the permitting issues are resolved. Andacollo and Royal Gold have agreed to extend the outside date for closing of that transaction to January 29, 2010.
