                <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><font face="Arial" size="2">Vancouver, BC -- Teck Cominco Limited [TSX:TCK.A and TCK.B, NYSE:TCK] (&ldquo;Teck&rdquo;) announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Fording Canadian Coal Trust (&ldquo;Fording&rdquo;) under which Teck will acquire 100% of Fording&rsquo;s assets, which consist principally of a royalty in respect of Fording&rsquo;s 60% non-operating interest in the Elk Valley Coal
                Partnership (&ldquo;Elk Valley Coal&rdquo;). Under the terms of the transaction, Fording unitholders will receive US$82.00 in cash and 0.245 of a Teck Class B subordinate voting share per Fording unit. Based on the 20 day volume weighted average price of Teck Class B shares on the New York Stock Exchange (&ldquo;NYSE&rdquo;), the proceeds to Fording unitholders represent a 18% premium to the 20 day volume weighted average price of Fording units on the NYSE, in each case for the
                period ending July 25. In aggregate, Teck will pay approximately US$12.4 billion in cash and issue approximately 36.9 million Teck Class B subordinate voting shares in consideration for the Fording assets. The cash portion of the consideration is expected to be primarily funded by a US$9.8 billion fully underwritten bridge and term loan facility arranged with a syndicate of banks and the proceeds of the sale of Fording units held by Teck prior to closing.</font></p>

Elk Valley Coal produces primarily high quality hard coking coal from its six operating mines in British Columbia and Alberta, Canada which it sells to steel mills mainly in Asia and Europe in addition to North and South America. Teck is the managing partner of Elk Valley Coal and owns a 52%
                effective interest in the partnership through its 40% direct interest in the partnership and its 19.9% interest in Fording units.</font></p>

                <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><font face="Arial" size="2">The independent Fording Trustees have unanimously approved the transaction and have received an opinion from RBC Capital Markets to the effect that the transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to Fording unitholders other than Teck and its affiliates. National Bank Financial Inc. has performed an independent valuation of Fording in compliance with National Instrument
                61-101.</font></p>

For Teck, the transaction is expected to be immediately and strongly accretive to both earnings and cash flow.&rdquo;</font></p>

                <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><font face="Arial" size="2">Mr.&nbsp;Lindsay added: &ldquo;Based on expectations that the rate of growth in demand for metallurgical coal, especially the high quality coking coal that Elk Valley Coal produces, will continue to outpace relatively constrained growth in supply, we believe that the outlook for this business is strong. We look forward to having Fording unitholders become Teck shareholders and
                believe they will benefit greatly from ongoing exposure not only to the metallurgical coal business but the outstanding long term value represented by our diversified portfolio of assets.&rdquo;</font></p>

                <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><font face="Arial" size="2">Following Teck&rsquo;s purchase of the Fording assets, Fording will distribute US$ 82.00 in cash and 0.245 of a Teck Cominco Class B subordinate voting share per Fording unit to Fording unitholders and their units will be redeemed. On closing, Teck will assume any residual liabilities for Fording. Fording will not pay distributions prior to closing of the transaction. Substantially
                all of Fording&rsquo;s value is attributable to its principal asset, a royalty paid by its subsidiary, Fording LP, based on cash received from the Elk Valley Coal Partnership. The balance of Fording&rsquo;s value is attributable to its direct interest in Fording LP, which holds a 60% interest in the Elk Valley Coal Partnership. The price paid by Teck for the royalty will be treated as a Canadian Development Expense for tax purposes, fully deductible against Teck&rsquo;s taxable
                Canadian income using the 30% declining balance method.</font></p>

                <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><font face="Arial" size="2">Teck has today entered into an agreement with an affiliate of the Ontario Teachers&rsquo; Pension Plan Board (&ldquo;Teachers&rdquo;) under which Teachers, in order to facilitate the transaction, has agreed to amend Teck&rsquo;s &ldquo;top-up&rdquo; obligations in connection with Teck&rsquo;s September 2007 acquisition of 11.25% of the outstanding Fording units from Teachers.
                Teachers will, on completion of the transaction, receive compensation of US$105 million for amending its rights, which would have otherwise expired on July 31, 2008.</font></p>

                <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><font face="Arial" size="2">Closing of the transaction is expected to occur by the end of October, 2008. Closing is expected to occur 20 trading days following unitholder and court approval of the arrangement to provide taxable Canadian unitholders who hold their units as capital property and non-resident unitholders the opportunity to sell their units into the marketplace. It is expected that many such
                unitholders may choose to do this because the Canadian tax consequences of such a market sale may be more attractive to them than holding the units through to closing and receiving the final distribution of cash and Teck B shares as income. All unitholders are advised to consult with their own tax advisors to determine the tax consequences of the transaction to them.</font></p>

                <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><font face="Arial" size="2">The agreement between Teck and Fording contains a non-solicitation covenant on the part of Fording, subject to customary &ldquo;fiduciary out&rdquo; provisions that entitle Fording to consider and accept a superior proposal, a right in Teck&rsquo;s favour to match any superior proposal and the payment to Teck of a termination payment of US$400 million if the transaction is not
                completed due to a superior proposal and in certain other circumstances.</font></p>

Closing of the transaction will be subject to customary conditions including, among others, the availability of the financing</font></p>

                in the Elk Valley Coal Partnership (&ldquo;Elk Valley Coal&rdquo;) under a plan of arrangement (the &ldquo;Arrangement&rdquo;). Under the terms of the Arrangement, Fording unit holders will receive US$82 in cash and 0.245 of a Teck Class B subordinate voting share per Fording unit. In aggregate, Teck will pay approximately US$12.4 billion in cash and issue 36.9 million Class B subordinate voting shares in consideration for the Fording assets, and will assume any residual
                liabilities of Fording on closing. The cash portion of the consideration will be primarily funded by a US$9.8 billion fully underwritten bridge and term loan facility and the proceeds of the sale of Fording units held by Teck prior to closing.</font></p>

The Arrangement Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Arrangement Agreement, Teck will acquire 100% of Fording&rsquo;s assets, which consist principally of a royalty in respect of Fording&rsquo;s 60% non-operating
                interest in Elk Valley Coal, and will assume any residual liabilities of Fording on closing. In aggregate, Teck will pay approximately US$12.4 billion in cash and issue 36.9 million Class B subordinate voting shares in consideration for the Fording assets. When the Fording royalty was created, Fording received a ruling from the Canada Revenue Agency that the royalty qualified as a Canadian Resource Property for Canadian income tax purposes. The purchase price of a Canadian
                Resource Property is Canadian Development Expense, fully deductible against taxable income using the 30% declining balance method. Although Teck has not separately sought a ruling on the issue, based on applicable tax law and the established administrative practice of the Canada Revenue Agency Teck will be entitled to add the purchase price of the royalty to its Canadian Development Expense pools.</font></p>

National Bank Financial Inc. has performed an independent valuation of Fording
                in compliance with Multilateral Instrument 61-101, and has concluded that the value of the Fording units was within a range from $79 to $99. The Fording Trustees have resolved to recommend that unitholders of Fording vote their units in favour of the Arrangement.

The closing conditions in favour of Teck include: (a) the absence of a material adverse change or material adverse effect with respect to Fording, (b) the Teck&rsquo;s lenders shall have confirmed to it in writing that the conditions precedent to the availability of its debt financing, other than certain enumerated conditions, have been satisfied or waived; (c) the Fording Trustees shall not

                incurred in wilful violation of this Agreement, will not exceed certain thresholds.</font></p>
