Update on Feasibility Study at Quintette

Vancouver, BC – Teck Resources Limited (TSX: TCK.A and TCK.B, NYSE: TCK) today announced that, given the favorable outlook for steelmaking coal demand, it is undertaking a feasibility study to potentially re-open the Quintette mine in northeast British Columbia.

“The Quintette feasibility study is part of our thorough evaluation of the various alternatives available to us to expand coal production,” said Bill Fleming, Vice President, Operations for the coal business unit. “In addition to the relevant engineering and permitting work, we will also be actively engaging with First Nations, local communities and the appropriate regulatory agencies to ensure that all factors are considered as part of any ultimate decision to reopen the mine.”

Teck expects to complete the study by the fourth quarter of 2011.

The Quintette mine is located approximately 22 kilometres from Tumbler Ridge, BC. Previous operations took place from 1982 to 2000.
