United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and forward-looking information within the meaning of the Securities
Act (Ontario). Statements in this presentation that do not relate to matters of historical fact are forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual
results, performance or achievements of Teck to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include estimates, forecasts, and
statements as to management’s expectations concerning Teck’s development and expansion plans for Greenhills and future
production, costs, as well as estimates of Greenhills reserves and resources. These forward-looking statements involve
numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties and actual results may vary materially. These statements are based on a number
of assumptions, including, among others, assumptions regarding general business and economic conditions, commodity prices,
interest rates, costs of construction and costs of production, production and productivity levels, market competition, and receipt of
necessary approvals. The foregoing list of assumptions is not exhaustive. Events or circumstances could cause actual results to
differ materially.

Factors that may cause actual results to vary include, but are not limited to, risks relating to the operation of Greenhills supply and
demand for labour and other project inputs, prices for commodities to be produced, changes in commodity prices, changes in
interest and currency exchange rates, inaccurate geological and engineering assumptions (including with respect to the tonnage,
grade and recoverability of reserves and resources), unanticipated operational difficulties (including failure of plant, equipment or
processes to operate in accordance with specifications or expectations, cost escalation, unavailability of materials and equipment,
government action or delays in the receipt of government approvals, industrial disturbances or other job action, and unanticipated
events related to health, safety and environmental matters), political risk, social unrest, changes in general economic conditions,
and other risk factors as detailed from time to time in Teck’s reports filed with Canadian securities administrators and with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

Certain of these risks are described in more detail in Teck’s annual information form available at www.sedar.com and in public
filings with the SEC. Teck does not assume the obligation to revise or update these forward-looking statements after the date of
