            regulatory approvals for closing have been obtained. Teck has entered into definitive credit agreements relating to its $9.8 billion bridge and term loan facilities which are being used to finance Teck&rsquo;s acquisition of the Fording assets. The lenders under these facilities have confirmed today that all conditions to borrowing under those facilities have been satisfied, other than payment of fees by Teck, completion of the 20 trading day &ldquo;pre-closing period&rdquo; as
            required by the arrangement agreement between Teck and Fording, initiation and completion of the transaction implementation procedure under the arrangement agreement substantially concurrently with the advance of funds under the credit facilities and the absence of a &ldquo;major default&rdquo; (as defined in the credit agreements) by Teck prior to closing. A &ldquo;major default&rdquo; is defined as certain limited events relating primarily to Teck&rsquo;s solvency and the accuracy
            of certain representations and warranties provided by Teck, including its continued existence, the enforceability of the credit agreements and compliance with laws. The credit agreements have been filed by Teck on SEDAR and EDGAR.</font></p>

            <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><font size="2">As a result, Fording and Teck have confirmed to each other that all conditions to completion of the arrangement have been satisfied or waived. Today therefore represents the &ldquo;Transaction Confirmation Date&rdquo; for purposes of the arrangement agreement. Under the terms of the arrangement agreement, the 20 trading day &ldquo;pre-closing period&rdquo; during which Fording&rsquo;s units will
            continue to trade will commence on October 1, 2008 and is expected to end on (and include) October 29, 2008. Subject to the exercise of certain limited termination rights in favour of the parties pursuant to the arrangement agreement, closing of the arrangement will take place on the business day following the end of the pre-closing period, which is expected to be October 30, 2008. The termination rights include the right to terminate the transaction by mutual consent, the right of
            Teck to terminate in the event the amount of residual liabilities of Fording (net of current assets) exceeds certain agreed levels either as a result of a wilful violation of the arrangement agreement by Fording or in circumstances where exceeding such levels would constitute a material adverse change (as defined in the arrangement agreement), the right of either party to terminate if the closing of the arrangement does not occur on or before December 30, 2008 and the right of
            either party to terminate if governmental or regulatory action prohibits the transaction, makes the transaction illegal or materially and adversely changes the anticipated tax treatment of the transaction.</font></p>

Holders of units who decide to dispose of their units are advised that: (a) the TSX is expected to establish special trading rules for the three
            trading days preceding the closing date of the arrangement to facilitate settlement prior to the closing date of trades occurring on the TSX during that three day period; and (b) the NYSE is expected to halt trading in the units during the three trading days prior to the closing date of the arrangement and as such, holders of units will not be able to trade their units on the NYSE during such three day period and trades over the NYSE made prior to such three day period should settle
            in accordance with the NYSE&rsquo;s typical T+3 settlement cycle prior to the closing date of the arrangement.</font></p>
