Teck Resources Limited (TSX: TCK.A and TCK.B, NYSE: TCK) ("Teck") has been
notified of an unsolicited "mini-tender" offer by TRC Capital Corporation
("TRC") to purchase up to 3.0 million Class B subordinate voting shares of Teck,
representing approximately 0.5 percent of Teck's outstanding Class B subordinate
voting shares.


The offer price of $35.90 represented a 4.85% discount to the closing price of
Teck's Class B subordinate voting shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on
November 9, 2011, the day prior to the date of the offer.


Teck recommends that shareholders NOT tender their Class B subordinate voting
shares in response to TRC's mini-tender offer. TRC's mini-tender offer is
subject to many conditions, including a financing condition and a condition that
there shall not have occurred since November 9, 2011 a decrease in the price of
Teck's Class B subordinate voting shares, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the
S&P 500 Average or a number of other stock indices. Teck does not endorse TRC's
unsolicited mini-tender offer and is not associated with TRC, the mini-tender
offer or the offer documentation. TRC has made many similar unsolicited
mini-tender offers for shares of other companies. Mini-tender offers are
designed to seek less than 5% of a company's outstanding shares, thereby
avoiding many disclosure and procedural requirements applicable to most bids
under Canadian securities legislation.


Shareholders who are considering tendering their shares to TRC's mini-tender
offer are strongly urged to exercise caution with respect to TRC's offer, obtain
current market quotations for their Teck Class B subordinate voting shares,
consult with their financial advisors and carefully examine TRC's mini-tender
offer.


The Canadian Securities Administrators ("CSA") have expressed serious concerns
about mini-tender offers such as the possibility that investors might tender to
a mini-tender offer based upon a misunderstanding of the terms of the offer,
including the per security price available under the offer relative to the
market price of such securities. Comments from the CSA on mini-tenders can be
found at: http://www.bcsc.bc.ca/policy.aspx?id=456. The U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission has published investor tips regarding mini-tender offers on
its website at: www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/minitend.htm.


According to TRC's current offer documents, Teck shareholders who have already
tendered their shares may withdraw their shares at any time before 12:01 a.m.
(Toronto time) on December 9, 2011, by following the procedures described in the
offer documents.
