Teck Reports Unaudited
Fourth Quarter Results for 2024
Record annual copper production and $1.8
billion returned to shareholders this year
Vancouver, B.C. – Teck Resources Limited (TSX:
TECK.A and TECK.B, NYSE: TECK) (Teck) today announced its unaudited fourth quarter results for 2024.
"2024 was a transformational year as we repositioned Teck as
a pure-play energy transition metals company with the sale of the steelmaking coal business and record annual copper production,"
said Jonathan Price, President and CEO. "Our copper production in the fourth quarter set a new quarterly production record with strong
performance at QB, and we continued to return cash to shareholders through share buybacks and dividends that totaled $1.8 billion in 2024.
Our strong financial position, ongoing returns to shareholders and value accretive copper growth strategy position us for long-term value
creation."
Highlights
| · | Adjusted EBITDA1 of $835 million in Q4 2024
was driven by record copper production as Quebrada Blanca (QB) continued to ramp-up, achieving design throughput rates by the end of the
year, as well as strong base metals pricing. Copper and zinc sales volumes each increased by 24% compared to the same period last year.
Our profit from continuing operations before taxes was $256 million in Q4 2024. |
| · | Adjusted profit from continuing operations attributable to
shareholders1 was $232 million, or $0.45 per share, in Q4 2024. Our profit from continuing operations attributable to
shareholders was $385 million. |
| · | We returned $1.8 billion to shareholders through share buybacks
and dividends in 2024, of which $549 million was completed in the fourth quarter. As at February 19, 2025, we have completed $1.45 billion
of our authorized buyback program of $3.25 billion. |
| · | We reduced our debt by US$196 million in Q4 2024, including
a scheduled semi-annual repayment on the QB project financing facility. In 2024, we reduced our debt by US$1.8 billion. |
| · | Our liquidity as at February 19, 2025 is $11.3 billion,
including $7.1 billion of cash. We generated cash flows from operations of $1.3 billion in Q4 and we had a net cash1 position
of $2.1 billion at December 31, 2024. |
| · | We achieved our third consecutive quarter of record copper
production with 122,100 tonnes produced in Q4 2024, of which 60,700 tonnes were from QB. With the ramp-up of QB, we achieved record annual
copper production of 446,000 tonnes in 2024, up 50% from last year. |
| · | Our copper business generated gross profit before depreciation
and amortization1 of $732 million in the fourth quarter, up 160% from a year ago, with strong sales volumes of 124,900
tonnes and higher copper prices. Gross profit from our copper business was $299 million in the fourth quarter. |
| · | Our zinc business generated gross profit before depreciation
and amortization1 of $320 million in the fourth quarter, up 112% from a year ago, supported by strong zinc prices and
sales volumes from Red Dog. Gross profit from our zinc business was $243 million in the fourth quarter. |
| · | Two of three of QB's labour unions, representing 78% of QB's
workforce, and Antamina's labour union each ratified new three-year collective bargaining agreements during Q4 2024. |
| · | Our High-Potential Incident (HPI) Frequency rate continued
to remain low at 0.12 in 2024. |

Key Updates
Executing on Our Copper Growth Strategy
| · | We achieved record copper production of 446,000 tonnes in
2024, up 50% from 2023, supported by the ramp-up of QB. We expect our annual 2025 copper production to further increase to between 490,000
and 565,000 tonnes as QB continues to ramp-up, consistent with our previously disclosed guidance issued on January 20, 2025. |
| · | Increased QB copper production of 60,700 tonnes in the fourth
quarter, compared to 52,500 tonnes in the third quarter of 2024. Annual copper production in 2024 from QB was 207,800 tonnes, within our
previously disclosed guidance range of 200,000 to 210,000 tonnes. |
| · | We achieved design mill throughput rates at QB by the end
of 2024, as expected, with record daily production achieved throughout the fourth quarter. We also saw an improvement in grades, as expected,
and recoveries in the fourth quarter as compared with the third quarter of 2024, driving increased production in the fourth quarter. |
| · | We had scheduled planned maintenance in January 2025 at QB
for minor modifications; however, we extended the scheduled shutdown to 18 days to conduct maintenance and reliability work, and complete
additional tailings lifts as part of the operational ramp-up. Since production recommenced, we have been processing transition ores which
was expected in the first quarter of 2025 in our mine plan. We continue to expect to see an overall increase in ore grades in 2025 over
2024 as we carry out the scheduled mine plan. Consistent with our operating plan, we expect to continue to have quarterly maintenance
shutdowns. Our previously disclosed 2025 annual copper production for QB is unchanged at between 230,000 and 270,000 tonnes. |
| · | In the fourth quarter, we continued to make progress in advancing
our copper growth strategy, reinforcing our commitment to long-term value creation through a balanced approach of growth investments and
shareholder returns. Our focus remains on advancing our near-term projects – Highland Valley Copper Mine Life Extension (HVC MLE),
Zafranal, San Nicolás - for potential sanction decisions in 2025, and advancing optimization of QB, with a strong focus on identifying
near-term growth opportunities for debottlenecking within the current asset base. All growth projects must meet stringent criteria, delivering
attractive risk-adjusted returns and competing for capital in alignment with Teck’s capital allocation framework. |

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RATIOS
Our annual financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS®
Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Our interim financial results are prepared
in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34). This document refers to a number of non-GAAP financial measures
and non-GAAP ratios which are not measures recognized under IFRS Accounting Standards and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed
by IFRS Accounting Standards or by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the United States.
The non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios described below
do not have standardized meanings under IFRS Accounting Standards, may differ from those used by other issuers, and may not be comparable
to similar financial measures and ratios reported by other issuers. These financial measures and ratios have been derived from our financial
statements and applied on a consistent basis as appropriate. We disclose these financial measures and ratios because we believe they assist
readers in understanding the results of our operations and financial position and provide further information about our financial results
to investors. These measures should not be considered in isolation or used as a substitute for other measures of performance prepared
in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.
Adjusted profit from continuing operations attributable to shareholders –
For adjusted profit attributable to shareholders, we adjust profit (loss) attributable to shareholders as reported to remove the after-tax
effect of certain types of transactions that reflect measurement changes on our balance sheet or are not indicative of our normal operating
activities.
EBITDA – EBITDA is profit before net finance expense,
provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA – Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA before
the pre-tax effect of the adjustments that we make to adjusted profit from continuing operations attributable to shareholders as described
above.
Adjusted profit from continuing operations attributable to shareholders,
EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA highlight items and allow us and readers to analyze the rest of our results more clearly. We believe that
disclosing these measures assists readers in understanding the ongoing cash generating potential of our business in order to provide liquidity
to fund working capital needs, service outstanding debt, fund future capital expenditures and investment opportunities, and pay dividends.
Adjusted basic earnings per share from continuing operations –
Adjusted basic earnings per share from continuing operations is adjusted profit from continuing operations attributable to shareholders
divided by average number of shares outstanding in the period.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations –
Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations is adjusted profit from continuing operations attributable to shareholders
divided by average number of fully diluted shares in a period.
Gross profit before depreciation and amortization –
Gross profit before depreciation and amortization is gross profit with depreciation and amortization expense added back. We believe this
measure assists us and readers to assess our ability to generate cash flow from our reportable segments or overall operations.
Total cash unit costs – Total cash unit costs for
our copper and zinc operations includes adjusted cash costs of sales, as described below, plus the smelter and refining charges added
back in determining adjusted revenue. This presentation allows a comparison of total cash unit costs, including smelter charges, to the
underlying price of copper or zinc in order to assess the margin for the mine on a per unit basis.
5 | Teck Resources Limited 2024 Fourth Quarter News Release |
Net cash unit costs – Net cash unit costs of principal
product, after deducting co-product and by-product margins, are also a common industry measure. By deducting the co- and by-product margin
per unit of the principal product, the margin for the mine on a per unit basis may be presented in a single metric for comparison to other
operations.
Adjusted cash cost of sales – Adjusted cash cost
of sales for our copper and zinc operations is defined as the cost of the product delivered to the port of shipment, excluding depreciation
and amortization charges, any one-time collective agreement charges or inventory write-down provisions and by-product cost of sales. It
is common practice in the industry to exclude depreciation and amortization as these costs are non-cash and discounted cash flow valuation
models used in the industry substitute expectations of future capital spending for these amounts.

10 | Teck Resources Limited 2024 Fourth Quarter News Release |
Statements regarding the availability of our credit facilities are
based on assumptions that we will be able to satisfy the conditions for borrowing at the time of a borrowing request and that the facilities
are not otherwise terminated or accelerated due to an event of default. Assumptions regarding the costs and benefits of our projects include
assumptions that the relevant project is constructed, commissioned and operated in accordance with current expectations. Expectations
regarding our operations are based on numerous assumptions regarding the operations. Our Guidance tables include disclosure and footnotes
with further assumptions relating to our guidance, and assumptions for certain other forward-looking statements accompany those statements
within the document. Statements concerning future production costs or volumes are based on numerous assumptions regarding operating matters
and on assumptions that demand for products develops as anticipated, that customers and other counterparties perform their contractual
obligations, that operating and capital plans will not be disrupted by issues such as mechanical failure, unavailability of parts and
supplies, labour disturbances, interruption in transportation or utilities, or adverse weather conditions, and that there are no material
unanticipated variations in the cost of energy or supplies. The foregoing list of assumptions is not exhaustive. Events or circumstances
could cause actual results to vary materially.
Factors that may cause actual results to vary materially include,
but are not limited to, changes in commodity and power prices; changes in market demand for our products; changes in interest and currency
exchange rates; acts of governments and the outcome of legal proceedings; the imposition of tariffs, import or export restrictions, or
other trade barriers by foreign or domestic governments; inaccurate geological and metallurgical assumptions (including with respect to

or processes to operate in accordance with specifications or expectations, cost escalation, unavailability of labour, materials and equipment);
government action or delays in the receipt of government approvals; changes in royalty or tax rates; industrial disturbances or other
job action; adverse weather conditions; unanticipated events related to health, safety and environmental matters; union labour disputes;
any resurgence of COVID-19 and related mitigation protocols; political risk; social unrest; failure of customers or counterparties (including
logistics suppliers) to perform their contractual obligations; changes in our credit ratings; unanticipated increases in costs to construct
our development projects; difficulty in obtaining permits; inability to address concerns regarding permits or environmental impact assessments;
and changes or further deterioration in general economic conditions. The amount and timing of capital expenditures is depending upon,
among other matters, being able to secure permits, equipment, supplies, materials and labour on a timely basis and at expected costs.
Certain operations and projects are not controlled by us; schedules and costs may be adjusted by our partners, and timing of spending
and operation of the operation or project is not in our control. Certain of our other operations and projects are operated through joint
arrangements where we may not have control over all decisions, which may cause outcomes to differ from current expectations. Ongoing monitoring
may reveal unexpected environmental conditions at our operations and projects that could require additional remedial measures. Production
at our QB and Red Dog Operations may also be impacted by water levels at site. Sales to China may be impacted by general and specific
port restrictions, Chinese regulation and policies, and normal production and operating risks.

Teck Reports Unaudited Fourth Quarter Results for
2024
Record annual copper production and $1.8 billion
returned to shareholders this year
Vancouver, B.C. – Teck Resources Limited (TSX: TECK.A and TECK.B,
NYSE: TECK) (Teck) today announced its unaudited fourth quarter results for 2024.
"2024 was a transformational year as we repositioned Teck as a pure-play
energy transition metals company with the sale of the steelmaking coal business and record annual copper production," said Jonathan
Price, President and CEO. "Our copper production in the fourth quarter set a new quarterly production record with strong performance
at QB, and we continued to return cash to shareholders through share buybacks and dividends that totaled $1.8 billion in 2024. Our strong
financial position, ongoing returns to shareholders and value accretive copper growth strategy position us for long-term value creation."
Highlights
| • | Adjusted EBITDA1 of $835 million in Q4 2024 was
driven by record copper production as Quebrada Blanca (QB) continued to ramp-up, achieving design throughput rates by the end of the year,
as well as strong base metals pricing. Copper and zinc sales volumes each increased by 24% compared to the same period last year. Our
profit from continuing operations before taxes was $256 million in Q4 2024. |
| • | Adjusted profit from continuing operations attributable to
shareholders1 was $232 million, or $0.45 per share, in Q4 2024. Our profit from continuing operations attributable to shareholders
was $385 million. |
| • | We returned $1.8 billion to shareholders through share buybacks
and dividends in 2024, of which $549 million was completed in the fourth quarter. As at February 19, 2025, we have completed $1.45 billion
of our authorized buyback program of $3.25 billion. |
| • | We reduced our debt by US$196 million in Q4 2024, including
a scheduled semi-annual repayment on the QB project financing facility. In 2024, we reduced our debt by US$1.8 billion. |
| • | Our liquidity as at February 19, 2025 is $11.3 billion,
including $7.1 billion of cash. We generated cash flows from operations of $1.3 billion in Q4 and we had a net cash1 position
of $2.1 billion at December 31, 2024. |
| • | We achieved our third consecutive quarter of record copper
production with 122,100 tonnes produced in Q4 2024, of which 60,700 tonnes were from QB. With the ramp-up of QB, we achieved record annual
copper production of 446,000 tonnes in 2024, up 50% from last year. |
| • | Our copper business generated gross profit before depreciation
and amortization1 of $732 million in the fourth quarter, up 160% from a year ago, with strong sales volumes of 124,900 tonnes
and higher copper prices. Gross profit from our copper business was $299 million in the fourth quarter. |
| • | Our zinc business generated gross profit before depreciation
and amortization1 of $320 million in the fourth quarter, up 112% from a year ago, supported by strong zinc prices and sales
volumes from Red Dog. Gross profit from our zinc business was $243 million in the fourth quarter. |
| • | Two of three of QB's labour unions, representing 78% of QB's
workforce, and Antamina's labour union each ratified new three-year collective bargaining agreements during Q4 2024. |
| • | Our High-Potential Incident (HPI) Frequency rate continued
to remain low at 0.12 in 2024. |

Key Updates
Executing on Our Copper Growth Strategy
| • | We achieved record copper production of 446,000 tonnes in
2024, up 50% from 2023, supported by the ramp-up of QB. We expect our annual 2025 copper production to further increase to between 490,000
and 565,000 tonnes as QB continues to ramp-up, consistent with our previously disclosed guidance issued on January 20, 2025. |
| • | Increased QB copper production of 60,700 tonnes in the fourth
quarter, compared to 52,500 tonnes in the third quarter of 2024. Annual copper production in 2024 from QB was 207,800 tonnes, within our
previously disclosed guidance range of 200,000 to 210,000 tonnes. |
| • | We achieved design mill throughput rates at QB by the end
of 2024, as expected, with record daily production achieved throughout the fourth quarter. We also saw an improvement in grades, as expected,
and recoveries in the fourth quarter as compared with the third quarter of 2024, driving increased production in the fourth quarter. |
| • | We had scheduled planned maintenance in January 2025 at QB
for minor modifications; however, we extended the scheduled shutdown to 18 days to conduct maintenance and reliability work, and complete
additional tailings lifts as part of the operational ramp-up. Since production recommenced, we have been processing transition ores which
was expected in the first quarter of 2025 in our mine plan. We continue to expect to see an overall increase in ore grades in 2025 over
2024 as we carry out the scheduled mine plan. Consistent with our operating plan, we expect to continue to have quarterly maintenance
shutdowns. Our previously disclosed 2025 annual copper production for QB is unchanged at between 230,000 and 270,000 tonnes. |
2 | Teck Resources Limited 2024 Fourth Quarter News Release |
| • | In the fourth quarter, we continued to make progress in advancing
our copper growth strategy, reinforcing our commitment to long-term value creation through a balanced approach of growth investments and
shareholder returns. Our focus remains on advancing our near-term projects – Highland Valley Copper Mine Life Extension (HVC MLE),
Zafranal, San Nicolás - for potential sanction decisions in 2025, and advancing optimization of QB, with a strong focus on identifying
near-term growth opportunities for debottlenecking within the current asset base. All growth projects must meet stringent criteria, delivering
attractive risk-adjusted returns and competing for capital in alignment with Teck’s capital allocation framework. |
Safety and Sustainability Leadership
| • | Our High-Potential Incident (HPI) Frequency rate continued
to remain low at 0.12 in 2024. |
| • | On October 30, 2024, Teck was named to the Forbes list of

This document contains forward-looking statements and forward-looking
information. Please refer to the cautionary language under the heading “CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS”
below.
Overview
| • | Our profitability improved significantly in the fourth quarter
compared to the same period a year ago primarily as a result of higher base metal prices and increased copper and zinc in concentrate
sales volumes. These items were partly offset by higher finance expense and depreciation and amortization expense due to the depreciation
of the QB assets and no longer capitalizing interest on the QB2 project, starting in 2024, as anticipated. In the fourth quarter, our
profit from continuing operations attributable to shareholders was $385 million compared with a $167 million loss from continuing operations
attributable to shareholders in the fourth quarter of 2023, as profitability last year was impacted by elevated operating costs at QB
during the initial ramp-up phase. |
| • | Copper sales volumes of 124,900 tonnes in the fourth quarter
increased by 24% compared with a year ago, driven by record production volumes. Zinc in concentrate sales volumes of 204,000 tonnes in
the fourth quarter increased by 24% compared with a year ago, as a portion of Red Dog shipments scheduled for the third quarter were deferred
into the fourth quarter of 2024 due to weather conditions. Red Dog zinc in concentrate sales of 184,000 tonnes in the fourth quarter were
at the high end of our previously disclosed guidance range of between 155,000 and 185,000 tonnes. |
| • | In the fourth quarter, London Metal Exchange (LME) copper
prices increased by 13% compared with a year ago, and averaged US$4.17 per pound, and LME zinc prices increased by 22%, averaging US$1.38
per pound. However, base metal prices declined at the end of the year with spot copper and zinc prices closing at US$3.95 and US$1.35
per pound, respectively, as at December 31, 2024, resulting in $144 million of negative settlement pricing adjustments in the fourth quarter,
primarily related to copper. |

| • | We achieved our third consecutive quarter of record copper
production with 122,100 tonnes produced in the fourth quarter, an increase of 18,700 tonnes compared with the same period a year ago as
a result of QB production ramping-up to design throughput rates by the end of the year. Copper production from QB was 60,700 tonnes in
the fourth quarter compared with 52,500 tonnes in the third quarter of 2024, as quarterly production continued to increase with ramp-up
progressing. |
| • | Zinc in concentrate production of 146,400 tonnes in the fourth
quarter decreased by 19% compared to a year ago primarily due to lower grades at Red Dog and Antamina, as expected in their respective
mine plans, as well as a planned maintenance shutdown at Red Dog. |
4 | Teck Resources Limited 2024 Fourth Quarter News Release |
| • | Our general and administration costs decreased by $29 million,
or 33%, to $59 million in the fourth quarter compared to the same period last year. Research and innovation expense decreased by $5 million
in the fourth quarter compared with a year ago and decreased by $67 million in 2024 as compared with 2023. The reduction of these corporate
costs is the result of the implementation of structural cost reductions across our business in 2024, which were further accelerated following
the sale of the steelmaking coal business in the third quarter of 2024. |
| • | Our finance income increased to $97 million in the fourth
quarter compared with $19 million a year ago reflecting investment income on our elevated cash balance as a result of the receipt of proceeds
from the sale of the steelmaking coal business. A large portion of our cash balance is held in US dollars, and as a result of the significant
weakening of the Canadian dollar in the fourth quarter, $235 million of foreign exchange gains were recognized in the fourth quarter compared
with $18 million of losses in the same period last year. |
| • | We remain highly focused on managing our controllable operating
expenditures. Our underlying key mining drivers such as strip ratios and haul distances remain relatively stable. Inflation on key input
costs, including the cost of certain key supplies and mining equipment, labour and contractors, and changing diesel prices, are included
in our 2025 annual capital expenditure, capitalized stripping and unit cost guidance. |
| • | The potential imposition of tariffs and countervailing restrictions
between the United States and Canada is a fluid and rapidly evolving situation that is being closely monitored by Teck. We primarily sell
refined zinc and lead, and specialty metals such as germanium, indium, and sulphur products from Canada into the United States from our
Trail Operations in B.C. Teck does not currently sell our copper or zinc concentrate into the United States. We will continue to actively
monitor the situation and work to mitigate any potential impacts on our business. |
| • | During the fourth quarter, our Red Dog operation successfully
obtained the United States Army Corps of Engineers 404 permit, a critical step allowing the construction of the exploration access road
for long-term vehicle access to the Aktigiruq and Anarraaq resource areas. This permit marks a major achievement in the project’s
development, enabling the next phase of exploration and resource assessment to proceed as planned. |
| • | During 2024, we completed the sale of 23% of the steelmaking
coal business, EVR, to Nippon Steel Corporation and POSCO for upfront proceeds of US$1.3 billion and the remaining 77% of EVR to Glencore
for proceeds of US$7.3 billion. Upon closing of the transactions, we announced our intention to allocate the transaction proceeds consistent
with our Capital Allocation Framework. This included total cash returns to shareholders of $3.5 billion, a debt reduction program of up
to $2.75 billion, approximately $1.0 billion allocated to pay taxes and transaction costs and cash retained for our value accretive copper
projects. |
| • | In 2024, we executed $1.25 billion of our authorized share
buyback program of $3.25 billion. In addition under our debt reduction program, we deployed proceeds from the sale of the steelmaking
coal business and reduced our debt by US$1.6 billion through a bond tender offer for our public notes in July and other debt repayments
in the second half of 2024. |
| • | As a result of the completion of the sale of our steelmaking
coal business, results from that business have been presented in our Q4 2024 News Release and Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial
Statements as discontinued operations for all periods reported. |
5 | Teck Resources Limited 2024 Fourth Quarter News Release |
Profit (Loss) from Continuing Operations Attributable
to Shareholders and Adjusted Profit from Continuing Operations Attributable to Shareholders
In the fourth quarter, our profit from continuing operations attributable
to shareholders was $385 million, or $0.75 per share, compared to a loss of $167 million, or $0.32 per share, in the same period last
year. The increase compared with a year ago is primarily due to higher copper and zinc prices, increased copper and zinc in concentrate
sales volumes, and significant foreign exchange gains arising from the weakening Canadian dollar, as outlined above.
Adjusted profit from continuing operations attributable to shareholders1
in the fourth quarter, taking into account the items identified in the table below, was $232 million, or $0.45 per share, compared with
$23 million, or $0.04 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2023. The most significant after tax adjustment to profit in the fourth quarter
of 2024, reflected in the table below, is $208 million of foreign exchange gains.

Gross profit from our copper segment increased to $299 million in the fourth
quarter compared with $81 million a year ago (see table below). The increase in gross profit was due to higher copper prices and substantially
higher sales volumes, partly offset by the depreciation of QB assets, which commenced at the start of 2024. In addition, in the same period
last year, gross profit was impacted by elevated operating costs at QB during the early stages of production ramp-up in fourth quarter
of 2023.
Record quarterly copper production of 122,100 tonnes was achieved in the
fourth quarter, an increase of 18% from the same period last year, driven by continued quarter over quarter ramp-up in QB's production
through 2024. QB produced 60,700 tonnes of copper production in the fourth quarter compared with 52,500 tonnes in the third quarter of
2024 and 34,300 tonnes in the fourth quarter last year. The increase in QB production was partially offset by lower production from Antamina
as a result of lower grades, as well as reduced mill throughput due to lower tonnes mined, as expected, and unplanned maintenance.
The table below summarizes the change in gross profit in our copper segment
for the quarter.

Property, plant and equipment expenditures in the fourth quarter totalled
$370 million, including $218 million for sustaining capital. Capitalized production stripping costs were $61 million in the fourth quarter
compared with $78 million a year ago.
Markets
In the fourth quarter, LME copper prices were relatively similar to the
previous quarter at US$4.17 per pound, and remain well above the long-term historic price trend. Prices in the fourth quarter rose by
13% compared with the same period a year ago. Global demand for copper remains well supported with demand increasing in North America
and China, while falling in Europe. Increased demand in China, Southeast Asia, India and North America is being primarily driven by government
and corporate spending on renewable energy and infrastructure construction.
The tightness in the copper concentrate market increased during the fourth
quarter and has accelerated into the first quarter of 2025. Spot treatment terms for concentrate started to fall in the third quarter
and continued through the fourth quarter with annual terms for 2024 settling below 2023 annual contract terms. New smelter capacity continues
to come online with both new smelters and expansion of existing smelters in 2024 and expected in 2025.
Mine production globally was relatively flat in 2024 growing only 1% to
22.6 million tonnes. This is lower than the projected 3.9% growth forecast at this time last year. Production losses from Chile, Panama,
the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Zambia, and China all combined to reduce mine production by approximately 0.7 million tonnes. Global
stocks of copper cathode on exchanges at the end of the fourth quarter were approximately 5.6 days of global consumption compared to the
long-term average of 10.3 days. Stocks on exchanges and in bonded warehouses in China decreased by 102,000 tonnes in the fourth quarter
but were still up 207,500 tonnes in 2024. Total visible stocks, including bonded stocks, fell and continue to remain at low levels at
5.9 days of consumption, compared to a long-term average of 13.8 days.
Operations
Quebrada Blanca
The following are the key updates relating to operational performance at
QB in the fourth quarter:
| • | QB copper production of 60,700 tonnes in the fourth quarter
increased compared to 52,500 tonnes in the third quarter of 2024. 2024 annual production from QB was 207,800 tonnes, within our previously
disclosed guidance range of 200,000 to 210,000 tonnes. |
| • | We achieved design mill throughput rates at QB by the end
of 2024, as expected, with record daily production achieved throughout the fourth quarter. We also saw an improvement in grades, as expected,
and recoveries in the fourth quarter as compared with the third quarter of 2024, driving increased production in the fourth quarter. The
improved grades were in line with the mine plan and the improved recoveries were the result of the successful improvement work on the
grinding and flotation circuits performed in the third quarter. |
| • | We had scheduled planned maintenance in January 2025 at QB
for minor modifications; however, we extended the scheduled shutdown to 18 days to conduct maintenance and reliability work, and complete
additional tailings lifts as part of the operational ramp-up. Since production recommenced, we have been processing transition ores which
was planned for in the first quarter of 2025 within our mine plan. We continue to expect to see an overall increase in ore grades in 2025
over 2024 as we carry out the scheduled mine plan. Consistent with our operating plan, we expect to continue to have quarterly maintenance
shutdowns. |
| • | QB molybdenum production for the year was 0.6 thousand tonnes,
lower than our previously disclosed annual QB molybdenum production guidance to 0.8 to 1.2 thousand tonnes due to continued ramp-up of
the molybdenum plant. |
10 | Teck Resources Limited 2024 Fourth Quarter News Release |
| • | New three-year collective bargaining agreements with 2 of
our 3 labour unions at QB, representing 78% of the workforce, were ratified. |
| • | Operating costs were US$299 million in the fourth quarter
resulting in lower net cash unit costs1 compared to the third quarter of 2024 primarily due to a reduction in contractor costs.
|
| • | Optimization of the existing QB asset is progressing, with
a focus on identifying near-term growth opportunities for the debottlenecking within the current asset base. |
Highland Valley Copper
Copper production of 27,100 tonnes in the fourth quarter was 2,700 tonnes
lower than a year ago. The decrease was primarily due to lower ore grades and recoveries. Copper sales volumes of 24,200 tonnes in the
fourth quarter were 2,000 tonnes lower than a year ago, reflecting lower production levels.
Copper production in the fourth quarter increased from the third quarter
of 2024 due to improved haul truck performance and increased mining in the higher-grade Lornex pit, as expected. Annual copper production
in 2024 was 102,400 tonnes and within our previously disclosed guidance of 97,000 to 105,000 tonnes.
Operating costs in the fourth quarter of $213 million, before changes in
inventory and capitalized production stripping costs, were $19 million lower than a year ago, driven by reduced contractor and diesel
costs.
Capitalized production stripping costs in the fourth quarter decreased to
$12 million compared with $29 million in the fourth quarter last year, reflecting near completion of the current phase of waste stripping
in the Lornex pit.
Antamina
Copper production (100% basis) of 93,600 tonnes in the fourth quarter was
26,700 tonnes lower than a year ago primarily due to lower grades as well as lower mill throughput due to unplanned maintenance. The mix
of mill feed in the quarter was 55% copper-only ore and 45% copper-zinc ore, similar with 54% copper-only ore and 46% copper-zinc ore
a year ago. Zinc production (100% basis) was 79,800 tonnes in the fourth quarter compared with 117,700 tonnes a year ago due to lower
grades.
During the fourth quarter, a three-year collective bargaining agreement
was ratified for all unionized labour.
Operating costs in the fourth quarter, before changes in inventory, were
US$105 million (22.5% share), US$3 million higher than a year ago. The increase in costs was primarily driven by costs associated with
the new collective bargaining agreement signed in the fourth quarter, partially offset by lower diesel prices and lower contractor and
maintenance costs.
Carmen de Andacollo
Copper production of 13,200 tonnes in the fourth quarter was 3,000 tonnes
higher than a year ago. The increase was driven by higher grades, recoveries and mill throughput. Improved mill throughput was driven
by increased water availability in the fourth quarter.
Operating costs in the fourth quarter of US$63 million, before changes in
inventory, increased by US$10 million from a year ago. The higher costs were a result of increased consumption of consumables driven by
higher mill processing and higher repairs and maintenance costs.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales was $1.4 billion in the fourth quarter compared with $1.1
billion in the same period last year, with $262 million of the increase relating to QB production rates ramping up. The increase is also
due to the impact of translation of our U.S. dollar denominated cost of sales at a weaker Canadian dollar exchange rate compared with
a year ago. We commenced depreciation of operating assets at QB at the
11 | Teck Resources Limited 2024 Fourth Quarter News Release |
start of 2024 and recorded $257 million of depreciation and amortization
expense in cost of sales in the fourth quarter compared with $64 million in the same period last year.
Excluding QB, total cash unit costs1 in the fourth quarter were
US$2.18 per pound, slightly lower than the prior year of US$2.20 per pound. Including QB, total cash unit costs1 in the fourth
quarter were US$2.55 per pound compared with US$2.20 per pound a year ago, as a result of elevated operating costs at QB during ramp-up
of production.
Excluding QB, net cash unit costs1 in the fourth quarter were
US$1.51 per pound, or US$0.33 per pound lower than a year ago as a result of substantially higher by-product molybdenum revenue credits
from Antamina and Highland Valley Copper driven by higher molybdenum production and prices. Including QB, net cash unit costs1
for the fourth quarter were US$2.09 per pound, US$0.25 per pound higher than the same period a year ago, consistent with the increase
in total cash unit costs1.
The table below presents our copper unit costs including QB in 2024. QB
is excluded from the 2023 figures in the table below due to the construction and early ramp-up phase of the asset.

Our 2025 annual guidance for our copper segment is outlined in our guidance
tables on pages 25–28, and is unchanged from our previously disclosed guidance issued on January 20, 2025.
We achieved record copper production of 446,000 tonnes in 2024, up 50% from
2023, supported by the ramp-up of QB. We expect our annual 2025 copper production to further increase to between 490,000 and 565,000 tonnes
as QB continues to ramp-up, consistent with our previously disclosed guidance.
Our 2025 copper net cash unit costs1, including QB, are expected
to be between US$1.65 to US$1.95 per pound, a significant reduction from our 2024 net cash unit costs1, reflecting strong cost
discipline across our operations. We expect a reduction in our 2025 operating expenses across our copper segment compared with 2024, as
QB operations stabilize and we embed our management operating system across our operations, with a focus on efficiency and cost optimization.
The improvement in our 2025 copper net cash unit costs1 compared to 2024 net cash unit costs1 reflects expected
reductions in operating costs across our business, an increase in copper production, lower copper treatment and refining charges and higher
by-product credits, which are largely driven by an increase in molybdenum production at QB and Highland Valley Copper.
In 2025, QB net cash unit costs1 are expected to be between
US$1.80 to US$2.15 per pound, a significant reduction from our 2024 QB net cash unit costs1, which ranged between US$2.60
to US$2.95 per pound with the lower end of the range being realized in the fourth quarter of 2024. The improvement in QB net cash
unit costs1 in 2025 is primarily due to an expected increase in copper production and higher molybdenum by-product
credits, but also reflects completion of ramp-up and the expected stabilization of QB operations through 2025.

Copper
Growth
We are focused on advancing our near-term copper growth projects, which
are progressing as planned. We are driving progress by completing feasibility studies, advancing detailed engineering, preparing for the
execution of advanced work programs, and moving forward with permitting—particularly at the HVC Mine Life Extension, Zafranal, and
San Nicolás. We are also defining the most capital-efficient and value-accretive path for the expansion of QB, informed by the
performance of our existing assets and permitting needs. Additionally, we remain committed to advancing our medium- and long-term portfolio
options with targeted investments.
In 2025, we anticipate investing approximately US$430–$485 million
(Teck's share) in copper growth capital expenditures, including approximately US$100–$110 million for HVC MLE and US$220–$240
million for Zafranal. Both projects are currently focused on advancing detailed engineering, design, and project execution planning, which
are critical steps in meeting our investment requirements for full project sanctioning. For Zafranal, in addition to engineering and planning
activities, we will proceed with advanced early works in 2025 to enable construction to start following project sanction.
Our remaining copper growth capital expenditures are expected to be deployed
to continue to progress our industry-leading copper growth pipeline of medium- to long-term projects including Galore Creek, Schaft Creek,
New Range,and NuevaUnion. These investments reflect our commitment to disciplined capital allocation, positioning us to advance these
growth initiatives efficiently and in alignment with our long-term copper strategy.
HVC Mine Life Extension
| • | Activities: Advances have been made in detailed engineering
and design, vendor engineering, and execution planning for the HVC Mine Life Extension project. Additionally, we have continued to progress
regulatory approvals processes, and negotiations with Indigenous Government Organizations (IGOs), receiving support for the project from
several IGOs. We will continue to negotiate agreements with remaining interested IGOs. One IGO has initiated a dispute resolution process
with the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Office, which has delayed the Environmental Assessment (EA) approval process. A Provincial
environmental assessment decision is currently anticipated in the first half of 2025. |
| • | Targeted upcoming milestones: Engineering, design, and project
execution planning are expected to advance towards substantial completion by the end of the second quarter of 2025, positioning the project
for a potential sanction decision following receipt of necessary permits. |
Zafranal
| • | Activities: In the fourth quarter, we received the land easement
agreement for the Zafranal main access road. Overall, the project is advancing with the definition of its advanced works scope. The tendering
process for camp construction and earthworks is underway, while engineering design efforts are focused on critical facilities to mitigate
execution risks. Construction permitting and execution strategy development are progressing to support the next stage of the project’s
development. |
| • | Targeted upcoming milestones: The project aims to complete
the tendering process for advanced works by the end of the first quarter of 2025. In addition, the tendering process for the main transmission line design consultant will commence in first quarter
of 2025, with a delivery model recommendation scheduled for completion by the end of February. Following receipt of construction permits
and detailed engineering, the project could be ready for a sanction decision in late 2025. |
13 | Teck Resources Limited 2024 Fourth Quarter News Release |
Minas de San Nicolás
| • | Activities: In November 2024, a supplementary information
package was submitted in response to regulatory inquiries regarding the ETJ (Land Use Change) permit application. Engagement with government
authorities and stakeholders is ongoing to support the review of both the MIA-R (Environmental Impact Assessment) and ETJ permits. The

Gross profit from our zinc segment increased to $243 million in the fourth
quarter from $71 million a year ago (see table below), due to higher zinc prices, increased sales volumes of zinc in concentrate due to
the timing of shipments, lower zinc treatment charges, and higher by-product revenues.
Zinc production at Red Dog in the fourth quarter decreased by 17% from a
year ago to 128,400 tonnes, while lead production remained consistent at 25,300 tonnes. Zinc production decreased as a result of lower
grades, as expected in the mine plan, and lower mill throughput resulting from a planned maintenance shutdown. Trail Operations refined
zinc production in the fourth quarter was 62,100 tonnes, 7,800 tonnes lower than a year ago, following the fire at the zinc electrolytic
plant in late September, as previously disclosed. Full repairs to the electrolytic plant are expected to be completed by the end of first
quarter of 2025.

to our Red Dog Operations.
Markets
Prices for zinc on the LME in the fourth quarter averaged US$1.38 per pound,
an increase of 10% over the previous quarter and up 22% over the same period last year.
The refined zinc market continued to improve in the fourth quarter as demand
in Asia, North America and China performed better than expected, although demand in Europe remained weak. Excess European metal continued
to make its way into LME warehouses in Singapore and Malaysia, where stocks have risen 0.2 million tonnes since November 2023. Global
zinc concentrate production fell in 2024 compared to 2023, which resulted in lower refined metal production year over year. Despite these
reductions, global consumption of zinc metal rose 1.5% globally to 13.6 million tonnes in 2024.
The zinc concentrate market remained tight with spot treatment charges falling
further in the fourth quarter. Imports of concentrates into China fell 13% in 2024 back to historically normal levels after increasing
22% in 2023. Imports of zinc metal into China rose 13%, as more metal was sourced due to tight concentrates and lower domestic metal production.
Total global exchange stocks remained well below historical levels, ending
the quarter at 4.5 days of global consumption, compared to the 25-year average of 18.0 days. We estimate that total reported global stocks,
which include LME, SHFE and bonded stocks, fell by approximately 65,000 tonnes in the fourth quarter to less than 275,000 tonnes at the
end of 2024, representing an estimated 4.6 days of global demand, compared to the 25-year average of 18.7 days.

Operations
Red Dog
Zinc production decreased to 128,400 tonnes in the fourth quarter compared
with 155,300 tonnes a year ago. Lead production of 25,300 tonnes in the fourth quarter was similar to a year ago. Lower zinc production
was driven by lower grades, as expected in the mine plan, as well as lower mill throughput resulting from a planned maintenance shutdown.
Zinc sales volumes of 184,000 tonnes in the fourth quarter were 36% higher
than the same period a year ago and at the high end of our previously disclosed guidance range. Higher sales volumes were primarily due
to the timing of shipments, as sales in the third quarter were impacted by weather and deferred into the fourth quarter of 2024.
Operating costs, before inventory changes and royalties, in the fourth quarter
were US$113 million, or US$3 million lower than a year ago primarily due to reduced spending on operating supplies and diesel, and lower
mill throughput and mine activity.
In accordance with the operating agreement governing the Red Dog mine between
Teck and NANA Regional Corporation, Inc. (NANA), we pay a royalty of net proceeds of production to NANA. Red Dog's profitability increased
in the fourth quarter as a result of higher zinc prices and substantially higher zinc sales volumes resulting in a US$98 million increase
in the NANA royalty expense in the fourth quarter as compared with a year ago.
During the fourth quarter, our Red Dog operation obtained
the United States Army Corps of Engineers 404 permit, allowing the construction of the exploration access road to the Aktigiruq and Anarraaq
resource areas.
Trail Operations
Refined zinc production of 62,100 tonnes in the fourth quarter was 7,800
tonnes lower than a year ago due to a localized fire in the electrolytic plant in late September that impacted fourth quarter production,
as previously disclosed. Refined lead production was 20,900 tonnes in the fourth quarter, 4,400 tonnes higher than a year ago as a result
of the KIVCET boiler operating well following the recent replacement in the second quarter.
Operating costs, before changes in inventory, in the fourth quarter were
similar to a year ago at $154 million.
17 | Teck Resources Limited 2024 Fourth Quarter News Release |
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales was $869 million in the fourth quarter compared to $630 million
a year ago. The increase in cost of sales was due to higher royalty costs at Red Dog, as noted above, higher concentrate purchase costs
at Trail as a result of lower zinc treatment charges, and the impact of translating our U.S. dollar denominated cost of sales at a weaker
Canadian dollar exchange rate compared with a year ago.
Total cash unit costs1 for Red Dog were US$0.54 per pound in
the fourth quarter, a decrease of US$0.19 per pound compared to the same period last year, reflecting lower smelter processing charges
and the effect of higher sales volumes. Net cash unit costs1 of US$0.39 per pound in the fourth quarter were US$0.24 per pound
lower than a year ago for the same reasons as the decrease in total cash unit costs1, as well as an increase in silver and
by-product revenues.

Outlook
Our 2025 annual guidance for our zinc segment is outlined in our guidance
tables on pages 25–28 and is unchanged from our previously disclosed guidance issued on January 20, 2025.
Total zinc in concentrate production in 2025 is expected to be between 525,000
and 575,000 tonnes, compared to 615,900 tonnes in 2024. Production in each of the next three years is expected to decrease primarily due
to declining grades at Red Dog. We are currently mining in two pits, Aqqaluk and Qanaiyaq, with the latter to be depleted midway through
2025, as per the mine plan. As the Qanaiyaq pit nears the end of life, we have seen an increase in ore tonnes in Qanaiyaq, but at lower
average zinc grades compared to what was previously expected, leading to a decrease in our 2025 annual zinc production guidance.
Refined zinc production at our Trail Operations is expected to be between
190,000 and 230,000 tonnes in 2025 compared to 256,000 tonnes in 2024. To maximize value from our Trail Operations, in light of the current
tightness in the zinc concentrate market and aligned with our focus on improving its profitability and cash generation, we expect to reduce
our zinc production at Trail in 2025, as reflected in our 2025 annual production guidance. We will operate Trail, although at lower production
rates, and remain focused on implementing a range of initiatives to further improve cash generation.
Our 2025 zinc net cash unit costs1 after by-products are expected
to be US$0.45–$0.55 per pound, which is higher than our 2024 net cash unit costs of US$0.39 per pound primarily due to the impact
of lower zinc production expected in 2025, and partly due to higher labour and consumable costs. The impact of the decrease in zinc production
is partly offset by lower zinc treatment charges, higher by-product credits, and a continued focus on efficiency and cost optimization.

OTHER OPERATING INCOME AND EXPENSES
Other operating expense, net of other income, was $142 million in the fourth
quarter compared with $170 million a year ago. The year-over-year change in the fourth quarter of 2024 was primarily due to lower environmental
costs related to closed properties which were significant in 2023, largely offset by higher negative settlement pricing adjustments and
share-based compensation expense. The most significant item in the fourth quarter of 2024 were $144 million of negative settlement pricing
adjustments.
The table below outlines our outstanding receivable positions, which are
valued using provisional prices at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2024.

Our general and administration costs decreased by $29 million, or 33%, to
$59 million in the fourth quarter compared to the same period last year. Research and innovation expense decreased by $5 million in the
fourth quarter compared with a year ago and decreased by $67 million in 2024 as compared with 2023. The reduction of these corporate costs
is the result of the implementation of structural cost reductions across our business in 2024, which were further accelerated following
the sale of the steelmaking coal business in the third quarter of 2024.
Our cash balance increased significantly in the third quarter of 2024 as
a result of the proceeds received from the sale of EVR and our finance income increased as a result of interest earned on the higher cash
balance. In the fourth quarter, our finance income was $97 million compared to $19 million a year ago.
Finance expense includes the interest expense on our debt, on the QB advances
from Sumitomo Metal Mining Co., Ltd. and Sumitomo Corporation (SMM/SC) and on lease liabilities, letters of credit and standby fees, the
interest components of our pension obligations and accretion on our decommissioning and restoration provisions, less any interest that
we capitalize against our development projects. As anticipated, our finance expense increased significantly to $238 million in the fourth
quarter compared to $44 million a year ago, due to lower capitalized interest on QB2, as most of the assets were considered available
for use as at December 31, 2023. Debt interest expense decreased to $26 million from $59 million a year ago due to the purchase of our
public term notes and repayment of our short-term loans at Carmen de Andacollo. Interest expense on the QB project finance facility decreased
to $55 million from $64 million in the same period a year ago, as we continue to reduce the QB project finance facility through scheduled
semi-annual repayments.
Non-operating income, net of non-operating expense, was $89 million in the
fourth quarter compared with $143 million expense in the same period last year. The most significant items in the quarter were $235 million
of foreign exchange gains and a $37 million loss on the changes to the carrying value of the financial liability for the preferential
dividend stream to Corporación Nacional del Cobre de Chile (Codelco). The carrying value of this financial liability is most significantly
affected by copper prices and the interest rate on the subordinated loans provided by Teck and SMM/SC to Compania Minera Teck Quebrada
Blanca SA (QBSA), which affects when QBSA repays the loans.
19 | Teck Resources Limited 2024 Fourth Quarter News Release |
Income Taxes
Provision for income and resource taxes from continuing operations was $12
million, or 5% of pre-tax profit. Our effective tax rate this quarter was lower than the Canadian statutory income tax rate of 27% due
to the recognition of previously unrecognized deferred tax benefits in Canada and a lower effective tax rate applicable to capital gains.
Excluding these items, our rate would have been approximately 39%, which is higher than the Canadian statutory income tax rate, primarily
due to resource taxes and foreign withholding taxes.
We are subject to and pay income and resource taxes in all jurisdictions
that we operate in. A final Canadian income tax instalment of $624 million, primarily related to earnings and proceeds from the sale of
the steelmaking coal business, is payable in February 2025.
Going forward, we expect our average long-term effective tax rate to be
in the range of 39% to 41%, but quarterly and annual results may vary due to the relative amount of operating margins, the scope and timing
of other copper growth projects, certain corporate and finance expenses that are not deductible for resource tax purposes, and statutory
tax rates in the jurisdictions in which we operate, and other factors.
Discontinued Operations
On July 11, 2024, we completed the sale of our remaining 77% interest in
our steelmaking coal business, EVR, to Glencore and received transaction proceeds of US$7.3 billion, excluding customary closing adjustments.
As a result of the sale of EVR, results from EVR have been classified and presented as discontinued operations for all periods reported
beginning in the third quarter of 2024. Settlement of customary closing adjustments are recorded as part of discontinued operations.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, profit from discontinued operations
was $1.2 billion compared with $2.6 billion in 2023. Our profit from discontinued operations in 2024 included operating results for the
period up to the sale date of July 11, and an after tax gain of $81 million on the sale of EVR, which is net of taxes of $897 million.
Profit from discontinued operations was higher in 2023, as it included a full twelve months of EVR results as compared to including EVR
results up to the July 11, 2024 sale date in 2024.

Our liquidity was $11.3 billion as at February 19, 2025, including
$7.1 billion of cash.
In the fourth quarter, we continued deployment of the proceeds from the
sale of the steelmaking coal business, as noted above, through shareholder returns and debt reduction. We returned $549 million to shareholders
in the fourth quarter through the purchase of $486 million of Class B subordinate voting shares pursuant to our normal course issuer bid,
and $63 million in dividends reflecting our regular base quarterly dividend. As at February 19, 2025, we have completed $1.45 billion
of our authorized $3.25 billion share buyback program.
During the fourth quarter we reduced our debt by US$196 million, which included
US$49 million of open market repurchases of our public notes and a US$147 million semi-annual repayment on the QB project financing facility.
Since January 1, 2024, we have repaid a total of US$1.8 billion (C$2.5 billion) of debt.
We maintain various committed and uncommitted credit facilities for liquidity
and for the issuance of letters of credit. On October 18, 2024, we extended our sustainability linked revolving credit facility for a
five-year term. The facility was reduced by US$1.0 billion to US$3.0 billion and continues to have pricing adjustments that are aligned
with our sustainability performance and strategy. The reduction in the size of the facility was driven by the quality of our balance sheet,
confidence in our business outlook, and a focus on reducing our financing costs. Our sustainability performance over the term of the facility
is measured by greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity, percentage of women in Teck's workforce, and safety. This facility does not contain an
earnings- or cash flow-based financial covenant, a credit rating trigger or a general material adverse effect borrowing condition. The
only financial covenant under our bank agreements is a requirement for our adjusted net debt to capitalization ratio not to exceed 60%.
That ratio was negative at December 31, 2024.
21 | Teck Resources Limited 2024 Fourth Quarter News Release |
Antamina maintains a US$1.0 billion loan agreement that matures in July
2026. Our 22.5% share of the loan is US$225 million. The loan is non-recourse to us and to the other Antamina owners.
We also have various other uncommitted credit facilities, standby letters
of credit and surety bonds that primarily secure our reclamation obligations. The amounts issued under these facilities totaled $1.9 billion
at December 31, 2024, a decrease of $2.3 billion from June 30, 2024 as the reclamation securities related to EVR were cancelled in the
third quarter in conjunction with the closing of the sale of our steelmaking coal business on July 11, 2024. We may be required to post
additional security in respect of reclamation at our remaining sites in future periods as additional land is disturbed, regulatory requirements
change or closure plans are updated.
Operating Cash Flow
Operating cash flows from continuing operations in the fourth quarter was
$1.3 billion compared with an outflow of $15 million a year ago. Our improved cash flow from operations compared with a year ago reflects
higher copper and zinc prices, increased sales volumes and contributions from QB, and a significant reduction in working capital.
During the fourth quarter, changes in working capital items resulted in
a source of cash of $757 million. The change was mainly due to a decrease in our trade receivables balances, particularly at Red Dog,
relating to the timing of sales. This compares with a $45 million source of cash in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Investing Activities
Expenditures on property, plant and equipment were $422 million in the fourth
quarter, including $249 million of sustaining capital and $165 million on growth, primarily relating to our near-term copper growth projects.
The largest components of sustaining capital expenditures in the fourth quarter were $102 million at QB and $54 million at Antamina.
Capitalized production stripping costs decreased to $82 million in the fourth
quarter compared with $100 million a year ago, reflecting near completion of the current phase of waste stripping in the Lornex pit at
Highland Valley Copper.
Demobilization of the QB2 project was completed and substantially all capital
contracts were closed out and accrued for at the end of the third quarter within our previously disclosed guidance range of US$8.6 to
$8.8 billion for the project. Our 2024 development capital expenditures for QB2 of C$970 million were impacted by a weaker Canadian dollar,
but remained within our previously disclosed guidance range for 2024 of US$500 to $700 million.

Financing Activities
In the fourth quarter, we purchased US$49 million of our public notes through
open market repurchases and prepaid a lease in the amount of US$11 million. We also made a scheduled US$147 million semi-annual repayment
on the QB project financing facility in December 2024.
Interest and finance fees paid in the fourth quarter, including amounts
capitalized, totalled $336 million, which was $29 million higher than a year ago, primarily due to higher interest on our advances from
SMM/SC which was partially offset by a reduction of the QB project financing facility, the tender of our public notes and open market
repurchases.
In the fourth quarter, we paid $63 million in respect of our regular base
quarterly dividend of $0.125 per share.
We also purchased and cancelled 7.5 million Class B subordinate voting shares
for $486 million in the fourth quarter under our normal course issuer bid.
FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Sales of our products are denominated in U.S. dollars while a large portion
of our expenses and capital expenditures are incurred in local currencies, particularly the Canadian dollar and the Chilean peso. Foreign
exchange fluctuations can have a significant effect on our operating margins, unless such fluctuations are offset by related changes to
commodity prices.
Our U.S. dollar denominated debt is subject to revaluation based on changes
in the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate. As at December 31, 2024, we did not have any of our U.S. dollar denominated debt designated
as a hedge against our foreign operations that have a U.S. dollar functional currency. As a result of our substantial cash balance, which
is largely held in U.S. dollars, following the receipt of proceeds from the sale of EVR and reduction in our U.S. dollar debt in the third
quarter of 2024, we expect to be subject to an increased amount of U.S./Canadian dollar exchange rate exposure. Resulting gains or losses
on this increased exposure to the U.S. dollar on our U.S. cash balances are recorded through the income statement.
Commodity markets are volatile. Prices can change rapidly and customers
can alter shipment plans. This can have a substantial effect on our business and financial results. Continued uncertainty in global markets
arising from the macroeconomic outlook and government policy changes, including the imposition of tariffs and the potential for trade
disputes, may have a significant positive or negative effect on the prices of the various products we produce, which could affect our
business and financial results.
We remain confident in the longer-term outlook for our major commodities;
however, ongoing uncertainty related to global economic growth, current geopolitical uncertainty, and the potential impact of monetary
policy aimed at curtailing inflation in various jurisdictions, may have an impact on demand and prices for our commodities, on our suppliers
and employees, and on global financial markets in the future, which could be material.
The potential imposition of tariffs and countervailing restrictions between
the United States and Canada is a fluid and rapidly evolving situation that is being closely monitored by Teck. We primarily sell refined
zinc and lead, and specialty metals such as germanium, indium, and sulphur products from Canada into the United States from our Trail
Operations in B.C. Teck does not currently sell our copper or zinc concentrate into the United States. We will continue to actively monitor
the situation and work to mitigate any potential impacts to our business.
23 | Teck Resources Limited 2024 Fourth Quarter News Release |
Commodity Prices and Sensitivities
Commodity prices are a key driver of our profit and cash flows. On the supply
side, the depleting nature of ore reserves, difficulties in finding new orebodies, the permitting processes and the availability of skilled
resources to develop projects, as well as infrastructure constraints, political risk and significant cost inflation, may continue to have
a moderating effect on the growth in future production for the industry as a whole.
The sensitivity of our annualized adjusted profit (loss) from continuing
operations attributable to shareholders4 and adjusted EBITDA4 to changes in the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate
and commodity prices, before pricing adjustments, based on our current balance sheet, our 2025 mid-range production estimates, current
commodity prices and a Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate of $1.40, is as follows. Our U.S. dollar exchange sensitivity excludes foreign
exchange gain/losses on our U.S. dollar cash and debt balances as these amounts are excluded from our adjusted profit from continuing
operations attributable to shareholders4 and adjusted EBITDA4 calculations.

Notes:
| 1. | Production estimates are subject to change based on market and operating conditions. |
| 2. | The effect on our adjusted profit (loss) from continuing operations attributable
to shareholders and on adjusted EBITDA of commodity price and exchange rate movements will vary from quarter to quarter depending on sales
volumes. Our estimate of the sensitivity of adjusted profit (loss) from continuing operations attributable to shareholders and adjusted
EBITDA to changes in the U.S. dollar exchange rate is sensitive to commodity price assumptions. |
| 3. | Zinc includes 210,000 tonnes of refined zinc and 550,000 tonnes of zinc contained
in concentrate. |

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND DERIVATIVES
We hold a number of financial instruments and derivatives that are recorded
on our balance sheet at fair value, with gains and losses in each period included in other comprehensive income and profit for the period,
as appropriate. The most significant of these instruments are marketable securities and metal-related forward contracts, including those
embedded in our silver and gold streaming agreements, QB variable consideration to IMSA, and settlements receivable and payable. Some
of our gains and losses on metal-related financial instruments are affected by smelter price participation and are taken into account
in determining royalties and other expenses. All are subject to varying rates of taxation depending on their nature and jurisdiction.

GUIDANCE
| • | Our production, unit cost and capital expenditure guidance
for 2025, and annual production guidance for 2026-2028 are outlined in the tables below and is unchanged from our guidance released on
January 20, 2025. |
| • | The guidance ranges below reflect our operating plans, which
include known risks and uncertainties. Events such as extreme weather, unplanned or extended operational shut-downs and other disruptions
could impact actual results beyond these estimates. Our unit costs are calculated based on production guidance volumes and variances from
estimated production ranges will impact unit costs. Our disclosed guidance ranges for capital expenditures do not include post-sanction
capital expenditures for the unsanctioned near-term growth projects, noted above. Our disclosed production guidance ranges also do not
include the production associated with these unsanctioned projects. Guidance will be updated at the time a sanction decision is made. |
| • | We remain highly focused on managing our controllable operating
expenditures. Our underlying key mining drivers such as strip ratios and haul distances remain relatively stable. Inflation on key input
costs, including the cost of certain key supplies and mining equipment, labour and contractors, and changing diesel prices, is included
in our 2025 annual capital expenditure, capitalized stripping and unit cost guidance. Our unit cost guidance for 2025 reflects actions
taken across our operations to reduce costs, and embedding our management operating system across our operations to improve consistency
and efficiency. |
| • | As a result of structural cost reductions across our business,
we expect our 2025 general and administration and research and innovation costs to decrease by approximately 15% and 35%, respectively,
compared to 2024. This excludes investment in the implementation of a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system across the company,
which we expect to commence in 2025. This will be a multi-year program and capital costs associated with this investment for the first
year are included in our 2025 guidance, outlined below. Certain costs associated with the ERP implementation will be expensed. |
| • | Based on our current elevated cash and cash equivalents balance
resulting from the receipt of proceeds from the sale of the steelmaking coal business, we expect to have higher investment interest income
for the foreseeable future. |

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting. Any system of internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, has inherent
limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial
statement preparation and presentation.
There have been no significant changes in our internal controls during the
quarter ended December 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial
reporting.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND
RATIOS
Our annual financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS®
Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Our interim financial results are prepared in accordance
with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34). This document refers to a number of non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP
ratios, which are not measures recognized under IFRS Accounting Standards and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS Accounting
Standards or by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the United States.
The non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios described below do not
have standardized meanings under IFRS Accounting Standards, may differ from those used by other issuers, and may not be comparable to
similar financial measures and ratios reported by other issuers. These financial measures and ratios have been derived from our financial
statements and applied on a consistent basis as appropriate. We disclose these financial measures and ratios because we believe they assist
readers in understanding the results of our operations and financial position and provide further information about our financial results
to investors. These measures should not be considered in isolation or used as a substitute for other measures of performance prepared
in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.
Adjusted profit from continuing operations
attributable to shareholders – For adjusted profit from continuing operations attributable to shareholders, we adjust
profit from continuing operations attributable to shareholders as reported to remove the after-tax effect of certain types of transactions
that reflect measurement changes on our balance sheet or are not indicative of our normal operating activities.
EBITDA – EBITDA is profit
before net finance expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA – Adjusted
EBITDA is EBITDA before the pre-tax effect of the adjustments that we make to adjusted profit from continuing operations attributable
to shareholders as described above.
Adjusted profit from continuing operations attributable to shareholders,
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA highlight items and allow us and readers to analyze the rest of our results more clearly. We believe that disclosing
these measures assists readers in understanding the ongoing cash-generating potential of our business in order to provide liquidity to
fund working capital needs, service outstanding debt, fund future capital expenditures and investment opportunities, and pay dividends.
Gross profit before depreciation and amortization
– Gross profit before depreciation and amortization is gross profit with depreciation and amortization expense added back. We believe
this measure assists us and readers to assess our ability to generate cash flow from our reportable segments or overall operations.
Gross profit margins before depreciation
and amortization – Gross profit margins before depreciation and amortization are gross profit before depreciation and
amortization, divided by revenue for each respective reportable segment. We believe this measure assists us and readers to compare margins
on a percentage basis among our reportable segments.
Total cash unit costs –
Total cash unit costs for our copper and zinc operations includes adjusted cash costs of sales, as described below, plus the smelter and
refining charges added back in determining adjusted revenue. This presentation allows a comparison of total cash unit costs, including
smelter charges, to the underlying price of copper or zinc in order to assess the margin for the mine on a per unit basis.
Net cash unit costs – Net
cash unit costs of principal product, after deducting co-product and by-product margins, are also a common industry measure. By deducting
the co- and by-product margin per unit of the principal product, the margin for the mine on a per unit basis may be presented in a single
metric for comparison to other operations.
37 | Teck Resources Limited 2024 Fourth Quarter News Release |
Adjusted cash cost of sales –
Adjusted cash cost of sales for our copper and zinc operations is defined as the cost of the product delivered to the port of shipment,
excluding depreciation and amortization charges, any one-time collective agreement charges or inventory write-down provisions and by-product
cost of sales. It is common practice in the industry to exclude depreciation and amortization, as these costs are non-cash, and discounted
cash flow valuation models used in the industry substitute expectations of future capital spending for these amounts.
Cash margins for by-products
– Cash margins for by-products is revenue from by- and co-products, less any associated cost of sales of the by- and co-product.
In addition, for our copper operations, by-product cost of sales also includes cost recoveries associated with our streaming transactions.
Adjusted revenue – Adjusted
revenue for our copper and zinc operations excludes the revenue from co-products and by-products, but adds back the processing and refining
charges to arrive at the value of the underlying payable pounds of copper and zinc. Readers may compare this on a per unit basis with
the price of copper and zinc on the LME.
The debt-related measures outlined below are disclosed as we believe they
provide readers with information that allows them to assess our credit capacity and the ability to meet our short- and long-term financial
obligations
Total debt – Total
debt is the sum of debt plus lease liabilities, including the current portions of debt and lease liabilities.
Net debt (cash) – Net debt

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This news release contains certain forward-looking information and forward-looking
statements as defined in applicable securities laws (collectively referred to as forward-looking statements). These statements relate
to future events or our future performance. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. The
use of any of the words “anticipate”, “plan”, “continue”, “estimate”, “expect”,
“may”, “will”, “project”, “predict”, “potential”, “should”, “believe”
and similar expressions is intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties
and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements.
These statements speak only as of the date of this news release.
These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements
concerning: our focus and strategy, including being a pure-play energy transition metals company; anticipated global and regional supply,
demand and market outlook for our commodities; our business, assets, and strategy going forward, including with respect to future and
ongoing project development; our ability to execute our copper growth strategy in a value accretive manner; the expected use of proceeds
from the sale of our steelmaking coal business, including the timing and format of any cash returns to shareholders; the anticipated benefits
of the sale of our steelmaking coal business; our expectations regarding the continued ramp-up and future optimization and debottlenecking
of QB2, including the occurrence, timing and length of required maintenance shutdowns; expectations regarding inflationary pressures and
our ability to manage controllable operating expenditures; expectations with respect to the potential impact of any tariffs, countervailing
duties or other trade restrictions; expectations with respect to execution of our copper growth strategy, including the timing and occurrence
of any sanction decisions and prioritization and amount of planned growth capital expenditures; expectations regarding advancement of
our copper growth portfolio projects, including advancement of study, permitting, execution planning, detailed engineering and design,
risk mitigation, and advanced early works, community and Indigenous engagement, completion of updated cost estimates, tendering processes,
and timing for receipt of permits related to QB debottlenecking, the HVC Mine Life Extension, San Nicolás, and Zafranal projects,
as applicable; expectations with respect to timing and outcome of the regulatory approvals process for the HVC Mine Life Extension, including
with respect to the dispute resolution process underway; expectations with respect to the construction of an exploration access road and
advancement of prefeasibility study work in the Red Dog district; expectations regarding timing and amount of income tax payments and
our effective tax rate; liquidity and availability of borrowings under our credit facilities; requirements to post and our ability to
obtain additional credit for posting security for reclamation at our sites; all guidance appearing in this document including but not
limited to the production, sales, cost, unit cost, capital expenditure, capitalized production stripping, operating outlook, and other
guidance under the headings “Guidance” and "Outlook" and as discussed elsewhere in the various reportable segment
sections; our expectations regarding inflationary pressures and increased key input costs; and expectations regarding the adoption of
new accounting standards and the impact of new accounting developments.
These statements are based on a number of assumptions, including, but
not limited to, assumptions disclosed elsewhere in this document and assumptions regarding general business and economic conditions,
interest rates, commodity and power prices; acts of foreign or domestic governments and the outcome of legal proceedings; the
imposition of tariffs, import or export restrictions, or other trade barriers by foreign or domestic governments; the continued
operation of QB2 in accordance with our expectations; the possibility that the anticipated benefits from the sale of our steelmaking
coal business are not realized in the time frame anticipated or at all as a result of changes in general economic and market
conditions, including credit, market, currency, operational, commodity, liquidity and funding risks generally and relating
specifically to the transaction; the possibility that our business may not perform as expected or in a manner consistent with
historical performance; the supply and demand for, deliveries of, and the level and volatility of prices of copper and zinc and our
other metals and minerals, as well as steel, crude oil, natural gas and other petroleum products; the timing of the receipt of
permits and other regulatory and governmental approvals for our development projects and other operations, including mine
extensions; positive results from the studies on our expansion and development projects; our ability to secure adequate
transportation, including rail and port services, for our products; our costs of production and our production and productivity
levels, as well as those of our competitors; continuing availability of water and
49 | Teck Resources Limited 2024 Fourth Quarter News Release |
power resources for our operations; changes in
credit market conditions and conditions in financial markets generally; the availability of funding to refinance our borrowings as
they become due or to finance our development projects on reasonable terms; availability of letters of credit and other forms of
financial assurance acceptable to regulators for reclamation and other bonding requirements; our ability to procure equipment and
operating supplies in sufficient quantities and on a timely basis; the availability of qualified employees and contractors for our
operations, including our new developments and our ability to attract and retain skilled employees; the satisfactory negotiation of
collective agreements with unionized employees; the impact of changes in Canadian-U.S. dollar, Canadian dollar-Chilean Peso and
other foreign exchange rates on our costs and results; engineering and construction timetables and capital costs for our development
and expansion projects; our ability to develop technology and obtain the benefits of technology for our operations and development
projects; closure costs; environmental compliance costs; market competition; the accuracy of our mineral reserve and resource
estimates (including with respect to size, grade and recoverability) and the geological, operational and price assumptions on which
these are based; tax benefits and statutory and effective tax rates; the outcome of our copper, zinc and lead concentrate treatment
and refining charge negotiations with customers; the resolution of environmental and other proceedings or disputes; our ability to
obtain, comply with and renew permits, licenses and leases in a timely manner; and our ongoing relations with our employees and with
our business and joint venture partners.
Statements regarding the availability of our credit facilities are based
on assumptions that we will be able to satisfy the conditions for borrowing at the time of a borrowing request and that the facilities
are not otherwise terminated or accelerated due to an event of default. Assumptions regarding the costs and benefits of our projects include
assumptions that the relevant project is constructed, commissioned and operated in accordance with current expectations. Expectations
regarding our operations are based on numerous assumptions regarding the operations. Our Guidance tables include disclosure and footnotes
with further assumptions relating to our guidance, and assumptions for certain other forward-looking statements accompany those statements
within the document. Statements concerning future production costs or volumes are based on numerous assumptions regarding operating matters
and on assumptions that demand for products develops as anticipated, that customers and other counterparties perform their contractual
obligations, that operating and capital plans will not be disrupted by issues such as mechanical failure, unavailability of parts and
supplies, labour disturbances, interruption in transportation or utilities, or adverse weather conditions, and that there are no material
unanticipated variations in the cost of energy or supplies. The foregoing list of assumptions is not exhaustive. Events or circumstances
could cause actual results to vary materially.
Factors that may cause actual results to vary materially include, but
are not limited to, changes in commodity and power prices; changes in market demand for our products; changes in interest and
currency exchange rates; acts of governments and the outcome of legal proceedings; the imposition of tariffs, import or export
restrictions, or other trade barriers by foreign or domestic governments; inaccurate geological and metallurgical assumptions
(including with respect to the size, grade and recoverability of mineral reserves and resources); operational difficulties
(including failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate in accordance with specifications or expectations, cost escalation,
unavailability of labour, materials and equipment); government action or delays in the receipt of government approvals; changes in
royalty or tax rates; industrial disturbances or other job action; adverse weather conditions; unanticipated events related to
health, safety and environmental matters; union labour disputes; any resurgence of COVID-19 and related mitigation protocols;
political risk; social unrest; failure of customers or counterparties (including logistics suppliers) to perform their contractual
obligations; changes in our credit ratings; unanticipated increases in costs to construct our development projects; difficulty in
obtaining permits; inability to address concerns regarding permits or environmental impact assessments; and changes or further
deterioration in general economic conditions. The amount and timing of capital expenditures is depending upon, among other matters,
being able to secure permits, equipment, supplies, materials and labour on a timely basis and at expected costs. Certain operations
and projects are not controlled by us; schedules and costs may be adjusted by our partners, and timing of spending and operation of
the operation or project is not in our control. Certain of our other operations and projects are operated through joint arrangements
where we may not have control over all decisions, which may cause outcomes to differ from current expectations. Ongoing monitoring
may reveal unexpected environmental conditions at our operations and projects that could require additional remedial measures.
Production at our QB and Red Dog Operations may also be impacted by water levels at site. Sales to China may be
50 | Teck Resources Limited 2024 Fourth Quarter News Release |
impacted by general
and specific port restrictions, Chinese regulation and policies, and normal production and operating risks.
We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements except as required
under securities laws. Further information concerning risks, assumptions and uncertainties associated with these forward-looking statements
and our business can be found in our Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed under our profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca)
and on EDGAR (www.sec.gov) under cover of Form 40-F, as well as subsequent filings that can also be found under our profile.
Scientific and technical information in this quarterly report regarding
our material properties was reviewed, approved and verified by Rodrigo Alves Marinho, P.Geo., a contractor of Teck and a Qualified Person
as defined under National Instrument 43-101.

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
| 1. | SALE OF STEELMAKING COAL BUSINESS AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS |
| a) | Sale of steelmaking coal business |
On January 3, 2024, we completed the sale of a minority stake of our interest
in our steelmaking coal business, Elk Valley Resources (EVR), to Nippon Steel Corporation (NSC) and POSCO. NSC acquired a 20% interest
in EVR in exchange for its 2.5% interest in the Elkview Operations plus $1.7 billion (US$1.3 billion) in cash. POSCO exchanged its 2.5%
interest in the Elkview Operations and its 20% interest in the Greenhills Operations for a 3% interest in EVR. These transactions were
accounted for as equity transactions with non-controlling interests, reducing retained earnings by $1.5 billion and increasing non-controlling
interests balances. In determining the net assets of EVR to calculate the non-controlling interests and the related adjustment to retained
earnings, we included the steelmaking coal business' goodwill balance and excluded deferred income tax liabilities not attributable to
the non-controlling interests.
On July 11, 2024, we completed the sale of our remaining 77% interest in
EVR to Glencore plc (Glencore). We received cash proceeds of $9.9 billion (US$7.3 billion) and correspondingly derecognized $20 billion
of assets (including $17 billion of property, plant and equipment and $256 million of cash), $8 billion of liabilities (including $2 billion
of decommissioning and restoration provisions) and $3 billion of non-controlling interests related to the steelmaking coal business. This
resulted in a gain for the year ended December 31, 2024 (net of taxes of $897 million, which is based on the taxable gain as computed
under Canadian tax law) of approximately $81 million, which is presented in profit from discontinued operations upon closing of this transaction.
Settlements of customary closing adjustments were recorded as part of discontinued operations.
Pursuant to the terms of the steelmaking coal business sale transaction,
Teck agreed to indemnify Glencore for a portion of certain water related liabilities. On July 10, 2024, the Public Prosecution Service
of Canada charged Teck Coal Limited with five counts of violating s.36(3) of the Fisheries Act. Glencore has notified Teck that
it is seeking indemnification with respect to liabilities arising out of these charges.

The fair values of debt are determined using market values, if available,
and discounted cash flows based on our cost of borrowing where market values are not available. The latter are considered Level 2 fair
value measurements with significant other observable inputs on the fair value hierarchy.

| b) | QB Project Financing Facility |
As at December 31, 2024, the limited recourse QB project financing facility
had a balance of US$1.9 billion. Amounts drawn under the facility bear interest at Term SOFR plus applicable margins that vary over time.
The facility is being repaid in 17 equal semi-annual instalments of US$147 million, which began on June 15, 2023. The facility is guaranteed
pre-final completion on a several basis by Teck and SMM/SC pro rata to the respective equity interests in the Series A shares of
QBSA. The facility is secured by pledges of Teck’s and SMM/SC’s interests in QBSA and by security over QBSA’s assets,
which consist primarily of QB project assets.
The guarantees of Teck and SMM/SC will terminate once final completion,
as defined under the facility, has been achieved. The facility is subject to customary project financing covenants and terms, including
with respect to granting security in assets and accounts, maintenance of insurance, periodic reporting, restrictions on certain activities
(such as incurring additional debt beyond agreed thresholds), and other operational covenants. Breach of the project finance covenants,
or failure to reach final completion in June 2025, could lead to enforcement action by the project lenders, including the acceleration
of repayment of the facility, among other consequences.The project has completed and submitted certificates for a majority of the completion
tests, including the technical and operating completion tests, with the remaining tests being procedural in nature.
| c) | Carmen de Andacollo Short-Term
Loans |
As at December 31, 2024, all fixed rate short-term loans at Carmen de Andacollo
were fully repaid.
| d) | Antamina Loan Agreement |
During 2021, Antamina entered into a US$1.0 billion loan agreement, which
was fully drawn as at December 31, 2024. Our 22.5% share of the principal value of the loan is US$225 million. Amounts outstanding under
this facility bear interest at Term SOFR plus an applicable margin. The loan is non-recourse to us and the other Antamina shareholders
and matures in 2026.
| e) | Revolving Credit Facility |
Effective October 18, 2024, we reduced the US$4.0 billion sustainability-linked
revolving credit facility maturing October 2026 by US$1.0 billion to US$3.0 billion and we extended this facility for a five-year term
to October 2029. The facility has pricing adjustments where the cost will increase, decrease or remain unchanged based on our sustainability
performance. Our sustainability performance over the term of the facility is measured by non-financial variables that are specific to
our greenhouse gas emissions intensity, the percentage of women in our workforce and our high-potential safety incidents.
As at December 31, 2024, the facility was undrawn. Any amounts drawn under
this facility can be repaid at any time and are due in full at maturity. Amounts outstanding under the facility bear interest at Term
SOFR plus an applicable margin based on credit ratings and our sustainability performance, as described above. This facility requires
our total net debt-to-capitalization ratio to not exceed 0.60 to 1.0. Following the sale of the steelmaking coal business in July 2024,
cash and cash equivalents have increased significantly and as a result, our cash balances were greater than our debt balances at December 31,
2024. Therefore, we do not exceed the required net debt-to capitalization ratio. This facility does not have an earnings or cash
flow-based financial covenant, a credit rating trigger or a general material adverse effect borrowing condition.
We maintain uncommitted bilateral credit facilities primarily for the issuance
of letters of credit and surety bonds to support our reclamation obligations. As at December 31, 2024, we had $1.5 billion (2023 –
$2.6 billion) of letters of credit outstanding. We also had $441 million (2023 – $1.2 billion) in surety bonds outstanding at December 31,
2024 to support current and future reclamation obligations. At December 31, 2023, $1.5 billion of the outstanding letters of credit
and $758 million of the outstanding surety bonds were related to EVR. These were cancelled in conjunction with the closing of the sale
of our steelmaking coal business on July 11, 2024 (Note 1).

for the purchase of 19,258,016 Class B subordinate voting shares. The $1.3 billion includes an accrual of $15 million related to tax on
repurchases of equity. For these share repurchases, we paid $1.2 billion in cash during the year ended December 31, 2024, and $6 million
subsequent to the quarter. 19,158,016 Class B subordinate voting shares were cancelled during the year ended December 31, 2024, with the

Based on the primary products we produce and our development projects, we
have two reportable segments that we report to our President and Chief Executive Officer – copper and zinc. Corporate activities
are not considered a reportable segment and are included as a reconciliation to total consolidated results. These corporate activities
include all of our initiatives in other commodities and groups that provide administrative, technical, financial and other support to
our reportable segments. Operating income (expense) - other includes general and administration, exploration, research and innovation
and other operating income (expense). Sales between segments are carried out on terms that arm’s-length parties would use. Total
assets do not include intra-group receivables between segments. Deferred tax assets have been allocated among segments.
As a result of the sale of our steelmaking coal business in the third quarter
of 2024 and the sale of our 21.3% interest in Fort Hills and associated downstream assets in 2023, we no longer present the associated
steelmaking coal and energy segments in the tables below. The segmented information related to the steelmaking coal business and Fort
Hills are disclosed as part of Note 1, Sale of Steelmaking Coal Business and Discontinued Operations.
