    Mineral properties are often non-productive for reasons that
    cannot be anticipated in advance. Even after the commencement of
    mining operations, such operations may be subject to risks and
    hazards, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents,
    unusual or unexpected geological formations, unanticipated
    metallurgical difficulties, ground control problems and
    flooding. Our metallurgical operations at Trail, British
    Columbia, and our concentrate mills and coal preparation plants
    are also subject to risks of process upsets and equipment
    malfunctions. Equipment and supplies may from time to time be
    unavailable on a timely basis. The occurrence of any of the
    foregoing could result in damage to or destruction of mineral
    properties or production facilities, personal injuries or death,
    environmental damage, delays or interruption of production,
    increases in production costs, monetary losses, legal liability
    and adverse governmental action.

    The results of our operations are significantly affected by the

    coal and gold, which are cyclical and subject to substantial
    price fluctuations. Our earnings are particularly sensitive to
    changes in the market price of zinc, copper and metallurgical

    range of industrial products, substitution of new or different
    products in critical applications for our existing products,
    expectations with respect to the rate of inflation, the relative
    strength of the Canadian dollar and of certain other currencies,
    interest rates, speculative activities, global or regional
    political or economic crises and sales of gold and base metals
    by holders in response to such factors. If prices should decline

    The mineral and oil and gas reserve and resource figures
    incorporated in this prospectus by reference are estimates based
    on the interpretation of limited sampling and subjective
    judgments regarding the grade, continuity and existence of
    mineralization, as well as the application of economic
    assumptions, including assumptions as to operating costs,
    foreign exchange rates and future commodity prices. The
    sampling, interpretations or assumptions underlying any reserve
    or resource estimate may be incorrect, and the impact on
    reserves or resources may be material. Should the mineralization
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">and/or</FONT>
    configuration of a deposit ultimately turn out to be
    significantly different from that currently envisaged, then the
    proposed mining plan may have to be altered in a way that could
    affect the tonnage and grade of the reserves mined and rates of
    production and, consequently, could adversely affect the
    profitability of the mining operations. In addition, short term
    operating factors relating to the reserves, such as the need for
    orderly development of ore bodies or the processing of new or
    different ores, may cause reserve and resource estimates to be
    modified or operations to be unprofitable in any particular
    fiscal period.

    There is, however, a risk that depletion of reserves will not be
    offset by future discoveries of mineral reserves. Exploration
    for minerals and oil and gas is highly speculative in nature and
    the projects involve many risks. Many projects are unsuccessful
    and there can be no assurance that current or future exploration
    programs will be successful. Further, significant costs are
    incurred to establish mineral or oil and gas reserves and to
    construct mining and processing facilities. Development projects
    have no operating history upon which to base estimates of future
    cash flow and are subject to the successful completion of
    feasibility studies, obtaining necessary government permits,
    obtaining title or other land rights and availability of
    financing. In addition, assuming discovery of an economic
    orebody, depending on the type of mining operation involved,
    many years may elapse from the initial phases of drilling until
    commercial operations are commenced. Accordingly, there can be
    no assurance that our current work programs will result in any
    new commercial mining operations or yield new reserves to
    replace

    to currency fluctuations, we enter into limited foreign exchange
    contracts from time to time, but these hedges do not eliminate
    the potential that such fluctuations may have an adverse effect
    on us. In addition, foreign exchange contracts expose us to the

    Environmental, health and safety legislation affects nearly all

    costs arising out of contaminated properties, damages, and the
    loss of important permits. Exposure to these liabilities arises
    not only from our existing operations, but from operations that
    have been closed or sold to third parties. We are required to
    reclaim properties after mining is completed and specific
    requirements vary among jurisdictions. In some cases, we may be
    required to provide financial assurances as security for
    reclamation costs, which may exceed our estimates for such
    costs. Our historical operations have generated significant
    environmental contamination. We could also be held liable for
    worker exposure to hazardous substances. There can be no

    Environmental, health and safety laws and regulations are
    evolving in all jurisdictions where we have activities. We are
    not able to determine the specific impact that future changes in
    environmental laws and regulations may have on our operations
    and activities, and our resulting financial position; however,
    we anticipate that capital expenditures and operating expenses
    will increase in the future as a result of the implementation of
    new and increasingly stringent environmental, health and safety
    regulations. For example, emissions standards for carbon dioxide
    and sulphur dioxide are becoming increasingly stringent as are
    laws relating to the use and production of regulated chemical
    substances. Further changes in environmental, health and safety
    laws, new information on existing environmental, health and
    safety conditions or other events, including legal proceedings
    based upon such conditions, or an inability to obtain necessary
    permits, could require increased financial reserves or
    compliance expenditures or otherwise have a material adverse
    effect on us. Changes in environmental, health and safety
    legislation could also have a material adverse effect on product
    demand, product quality and methods of production and
    distribution. In the event that any of our products were
    demonstrated to have negative health effects, we could be
    exposed to workers compensation and product liability claims

    The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement that sets
    limits on greenhouse gas emissions from certain signatory
    countries. While the United States government has announced that
    it will not ratify the protocol, the Canadian Parliament voted
    to ratify its participation in this agreement and the Kyoto
    Protocol came into force in Canada on February&#160;16, 2005.
    The Kyoto agreement commits Canada to limit its net greenhouse
    gas emissions to 6% below the levels emitted in 1990.
    Canada&#146;s current level of greenhouse gas emissions
    significantly exceeds the

    In 2007, the Government of Canada announced a policy objective
    of reducing total Canadian greenhouse gas emissions by 20% below
    2006 levels by 2020 and by 60% to 70% below that level by 2050.
    As part of this initiative, the federal Government intends to
    require reductions in emission intensity levels from certain
    industrial facilities, including oil and gas facilities and
    smelting and refining facilities, by 6% per year for each year
    from 2007 to 2010 and 2% per year each year thereafter. Affected
    facilities will be permitted to meet reduction targets by
    emissions trading or contributions to a technology fund, in
    addition to emissions abatement. Additional policy measures are
    anticipated in coming years under this federal policy framework.

    In Alberta, the <I>Climate Change and Emissions Management Act
    </I>and the Specified Gas Emitters Regulation require certain
    existing large emitters (facilities, including oil sands
    facilities, that are releasing 100,000 tonnes or more of
    greenhouse gas emissions in any calendar year after and
    including 2003)&#160;to reduce their emissions intensity by 12%
    starting July&#160;1, 2007. The regulation also outlines options
    for meeting reduction targets. If reducing emissions intensity
    by 12% is not initially possible, large emitters will be able to
    invest in an Alberta-based technology fund to develop
    infrastructure to reduce emissions or to support research into
    innovative climate change solutions. Large emitters will be
    required to pay $15 per tonne to the technology fund for every
    tonne of emissions above the 12% reduction target.
    Alternatively, large emitters could also invest in Alberta-based
    projects outside their operations that reduce or offset
    emissions on their behalf.

    In British Columbia, the provincial government has announced a
    policy goal of reducing greenhouse gas emission by at least 33%
    below current levels by 2020 and, on July&#160;1, 2008 began
    imposing a new provincial carbon tax on fuel. This new fuel tax
    starts at a rate based on $10 per tonne of carbon emissions and
    rises at a rate of $5 per year up to $30 per tonne by 2012. This
    tax will act to increase our fuel costs, which would impact our
    competitiveness in the global marketplace. The provincial
    government is also currently contemplating &#147;cap and
    trade&#148; legislation that could impose additional costs on
    our operations located in the province.

    The primary source of greenhouse gas emissions in Canada is the

    on hydrocarbon energy sources to conduct daily operations, and
    there are currently no economic substitutes for these forms of

    On July&#160;29, 2008, Teck announced that it had entered into
    an agreement with Fording whereby Teck will acquire 100% of
    Fording&#146;s assets, which consist principally of a royalty in
    respect of Fording&#146;s 60% non-operating interest in the Elk
    Valley Coal Partnership (the &#147;Acquisition&#148;). Elk
    Valley Coal Partnership produces 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&#160;is the managing partner of
    Elk Valley Coal Partnership.

    Under the terms of the Acquisition, Fording&#146;s unitholders
    will receive US$82.00 in cash and 0.245 of a Class&#160;B
    subordinate voting share of Teck per Fording unit. The aggregate
    consideration payable by Teck is approximately
    US$12.4&#160;billion in cash and approximately 36.9&#160;million
    of its Class&#160;B subordinate voting shares. The cash portion
    of the consideration is expected to be primarily funded by a
    US$9.8&#160;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.

    Fording&#146;s July&#160;29, 2008 press release in connection
    with the Acquisition stated that because Teck is considered a
    related party to Fording, the Independent Committee of the
    Trustees of Fording and the Independent Committee of the
    directors of Fording (GP) ULC retained National Bank Financial
    Inc. (&#147;National Bank&#148;) as an independent valuator to
    perform a formal valuation of the Fording units. Fording&#146;s
    press release indicated National Bank concluded that the value
    of the Fording units was within a range from $79.00 to $99.00
    but did not provide any information regarding the valuation
    methodologies used by National Bank. A formal valuation has not
    yet been provided to Teck. Teck has no further information about
    the methodology or methodologies applied by National Bank.

    Earnings coverage ratios are included in this prospectus in
    accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements. They have been
    calculated on a consolidated basis using financial information
    prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted
    accounting principles and give effect to all of our long-term
    financial liabilities, and the repayment, redemption or other
    retirement thereof since the respective dates indicated below.
    The ratios do not give pro forma effect to any offering of debt
    securities offered by a prospectus supplement and this
    prospectus or to any change in indebtedness subsequent to the
    dates indicated below. For purposes of these calculations,
    reported net earnings have been increased by interest expense
    and income taxes. The earnings coverage ratio is equal to net
    earnings, adjusted as described above, divided by interest
    expense. These ratios do not purport to be indicative of
    earnings coverage ratios for any future period. Pro forma
    earnings coverage ratios referred to below have been calculated

    27.6 times interest expense. Our earnings for the year ended
    December&#160;31, 2007 and the twelve-month period ended
    June&#160;30, 2008 before interest expense, income taxes,
    depreciation and amortization amounted to approximately
    $2.8&#160;billion and $3.0&#160;billion, respectively, which
    amounted to 29.9 times and 32.1 times our interest expense for
    those periods, respectively. The pro forma earnings coverage
    ratio for the year ended December&#160;31, 2007 was 4.3 times

    $760&#160;million of revolving debt, trade payables and current
    taxes, our proportionate share of which is reflected in our
    consolidated balance sheet. Elk Valley Coal Partnership, in
    which we have a 40% partnership interest, has given an unsecured
    guarantee of up to $400&#160;million of indebtedness of Fording
    Inc., which guarantee is limited in recourse against us to the
    assets of Elk Valley Coal Partnership. The debt securities will
    be effectively subordinated to the obligations of Elk Valley
    Coal Partnership under this guarantee. This guarantee is

    We are incorporated under and governed by the laws of Canada.
    Many of our assets are located outside the United States and
    most of our directors and officers and some of the experts named
    in this prospectus are not residents of the United States. As a
    result, it may be difficult for you to effect service within the
    United States upon us and upon those directors, officers and
    experts, or to realize in the United States upon judgments of
    courts of the United States predicated upon our civil liability
    and the civil liability of our directors, officers or experts
    under the United States federal securities laws. We have been
    advised by our Canadian counsel, Lang Michener LLP, that there
    is doubt as to the enforceability in Canada by a court in
    original actions, or in actions to enforce judgments in United
    States courts, of civil liabilities predicated upon United
    States federal securities laws.

    The acquisition of the net assets of Fording by Teck is
    accounted for using the purchase method. Accordingly,
    Fording&#146;s assets and liabilities are measured at their
    estimated individual fair values on the date of the acquisition.
    Teck owned 30&#160;million units or approximately 19.82% of
    Fording prior to the Acquisition and accounted for its interest
    in Fording using the equity method. Accordingly, the 19.82%
    proportion of Fording&#146;s net assets were measured based on
    the estimated fair values at the dates that those units were
    acquired. Teck&#146;s investment in Fording and Fording&#146;s
    net assets are eliminated upon consolidation. Teck&#146;s assets
    and liabilities are not revalued as part of this process.

    The pro forma financial statements assume the completion of a
    business combination at June&#160;30, 2008 whereby all of the
    assets of Fording, are acquired by way of a plan arrangement for
    total consideration of $11,201&#160;million, comprising
    36.5&#160;million Class&#160;B subordinate voting shares of Teck

    The measurement of the share component of the purchase
    consideration in the pro forma financial statements is based on
    the Teck Class&#160;B subordinate voting shares price of $39.33.
    The share price is determined using the average closing price on
    the New York Stock Exchange on the last two trading days prior
    to the announcement of the Fording offer, calculated using an
    exchange rate of US$1.02 for CAD$1.00.

    The calculation of the purchase consideration and the allocation
    of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities of Fording
    as presented in these pro forma financial statements is
    preliminary and subject to change. In arriving at the fair
    values of assets and liabilities, Teck has made assumptions and
    estimates. The actual fair values of the assets and liabilities
    will be determined as of the date of the acquisition, not the
    dates used in the preparation of these pro forma financial
    statements. The amounts determined may differ materially from
    the amounts disclosed in the purchase price allocation set out
    in (b)&#160;below due to changes in the estimates of fair values
    of the assets and liabilities as more information is available
    for assessment. Any such changes in the determination and
    allocation of the purchase price could also result in changes to
    the adjustments to earnings in subsequent periods.

Teck Cominco Limited and Teck Cominco Metals Limited (each, a

individual who acts or acted at such Registrant&#146;s request as a director or officer, or an individual
acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, against all costs, charges and expenses, including
an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual in
respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the
individual is involved because of that association with such Registrant or the other entity. Such
Registrant may not indemnify an individual unless the individual acted honestly and in good faith
with a view to the best interests of such Registrant, or, as the case may be, to the best interests
of the other entity for which the individual acted as a director or officer or in a similar
capacity at such Registrant&#146;s request and in the case of a criminal or administrative action or
proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the individual had reasonable grounds for
believing that the conduct was lawful. The indemnification may be made in connection with a
derivative action only with court approval. The aforementioned individuals are entitled to
indemnification from such  Registrant as a matter of right if they were not judged by the court or
other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the individual
ought to have done and they fulfill the conditions set out above. Such Registrant may advance
moneys to the individual for the costs, charges and expenses of a proceeding; however, the
individual shall repay the moneys if the individual does not fulfill the conditions set out above.

Registrant is or was a shareholder or creditor (or a person who undertakes or has undertaken any

grounds for believing that his conduct was lawful. The by-laws of each Registrant also provide that
