Teck Announces Extension of Tender Premium Period, Early Results of

Tender Offer and Early Acceptance of 10.750% Notes due 2019

Vancouver, BC – Teck Resources Limited (“Teck”, TSX: TCK.A and TCK.B, NYSE: TCK) announced today that it has amended the terms of its cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for its 10.750% senior secured notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”).

Under the terms of the amended offer, the Total Consideration of US$1,257.50 per US$1,000 principal amount of 2019 Notes, which includes the Early Tender Payment of US$30.00 per US$1,000 principal amount of 2019 Notes, will be available in respect of 2019 Notes tendered at or before the Expiration Date and not validly withdrawn. Previously, the Total Consideration was available only in respect of those 2019 Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date and not validly withdrawn. The other terms of the Tender Offer are unchanged. Teck has not extended the Withdrawal Date and as a result withdrawal rights with regard to 2019 Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date, which was 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 21, 2010, have terminated.

Teck also announced today that, as of the Early Tender Date, approximately US$542 million aggregate principal amount of 2019 Notes, representing approximately 29% of the 2019 Notes outstanding, were validly tendered in the Tender Offer and not validly withdrawn.

Early settlement of a portion of the 2019 Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date is subject to the closing of Teck’s offering of US$500 million aggregate principal amount of 4.500% notes due 2021 and US$200 million aggregate principal amount of 6.000% notes due 2040, or waiver of the financing condition to the Tender Offer. The offering of the new notes is expected to close on or about September 22, 2010, subject to customary closing conditions. Because Teck is offering to purchase US$1.0 billion, or approximately 54.05%, of the US$1.850 billion aggregate principal amount of 2019 Notes outstanding, on the early acceptance date Teck is limited to accepting a maximum of approximately 54.05%, or US$293 million aggregate principal amount, of the 2019 Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date. Teck expects the early acceptance of a portion of the 2019 Notes to promptly follow the satisfaction or waiver of the financing condition.

Promptly following the Expiration Date of the Tender Offer, Teck will accept for purchase a minimum of 54.05% of any 2019 Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date but prior to the Expiration Date. Any remaining 2019 Notes tendered but not purchased will be accepted on such date, subject to the Tender Cap and certain proration procedures, each as described in the Offer to Purchase.

Teck is making the Tender Offer only by, and pursuant to the terms of, the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal. The Tender Offer will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time on October 5, 2010, unless extended.

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Banc of America Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Goldman, Sachs & Co. are the Dealer Managers for the Tender Offer.

Morgan Securities LLC Liability Management Group at (866) 834-4666 (toll-free), Banc of America Securities LLC Debt Advisory Services at (888) 292-0070 (toll-free) and Citigroup Global Markets Inc.
