TECK ANNOUNCES COAL PRODUCTION GUIDANCE

Vancouver - Teck Resources Limited (TSX: TCK.A and TCK.B, NYSE: TCK) announced today new coal production guidance for 2010. Teck now expects coal production in 2010 to be 23.5 to 25 million tonnes and is actively planning for further production increases in 2011 and 2012. Teck President and CEO Don Lindsay said: "Our coal team is focused on near term expansion opportunities in light of the tight market that we expect for high quality hard coking coal. We are fortunate to be able to add production with relatively small incremental capital." While capital budgets are still under review, Teck expects its overall capital spending for all businesses in 2010 to be in line with total capital spending in 2009.

Teck is currently forecasting coal production of 20 million tonnes and sales of 19.5 to 20 million tonnes for 2009, at the lower end of Teck's current guidance as a result of shipping delays caused by high winds at the port in Vancouver. Weather permitting, missed shipments are expected to be made up in the first quarter of 2010.
