Teck Resources Limited (TSX: TCK.A and TCK.B, NYSE: TCK) has been informed that
the Toronto Stock Exchange has accepted Teck's notice of intention to make a
normal course issuer bid in respect of up to 40 million Class B subordinate
voting shares, representing approximately 6.88% of Teck's 581,442,001 Class B
subordinate voting shares outstanding as at June 15, 2011, or 8.47% of Teck's
public float. The period of the normal course issuer bid will commence on June
27, 2011 and will continue until June 26, 2012 or an earlier date if Teck
completes its purchases.


Teck will make any purchases through the facilities of the Toronto Stock
Exchange from time to time at the prevailing market prices of the Class B shares
as traded on the Exchange and any Class B shares purchased will be cancelled.
Daily purchases will be limited to 718,649 shares, in accordance with the
Exchange's rules. The actual number of Class B shares to be purchased and the
timing of any such purchases will be determined by Teck from time to time as
market conditions warrant.


Teck is making the normal course issuer bid because it believes that the market
price of their Class B shares may, from time to time, not reflect its underlying
value and that the share buy-back program may provide value by reducing the
number of shares outstanding at attractive prices.
