Teck Resources Limited's ("Teck") (TSX: TCK.A, TCK.B; NYSE: TCK) right to earn a further interest in Lorraine has terminated. The project is located in the Quesnel Terrane approximately 250 km northwest of Prince George, BC.

Teck optioned the project in June 2005 and incurred expenditures of $9.0 million to earn a 51% interest in the project as of December 31, 2010. Teck also completed an earn-in for 100% of the vendor's interest (90% interest) in the adjoining Jan-Tam-Misty property at the same time and these claims constitute part of Lorraine Joint Venture.

Lorraine is located in north central British Columbia approximately 170 kilometres to the northwest of the regional centre of Fort St. James. The project is accessed by logging haul roads that connect to the communities of MacKenzie and Fort St. James and lies approximately 40 km from the Kemess power line.

Mineralization at Lorraine is copper and gold-rich and has many attributes common to other alkalic porphyries in British Columbia including Mount Polley and Galore Creek. Drilling at Lorraine, up to and including that completed by Teck in 2008, totals 223 holes (38,016 metres). A NI 43-101 resource calculation, based on historic drill results, was completed on the Main Zone-Bishop Zone area by Giroux Consultants of Vancouver, BC (see news release of May 30, 2012). The resource estimates are:

• Indicated resource of 6.42 million tonnes grading 0.61% copper and 0.23 g/t gold and an
• Inferred resource of 28.82 million tonnes grading 0.45% copper and 0.19 g/t gold (at a cutoff grade of 0.20% Cu).
