Vancouver – Teck Resources Limited (TSX: TCK.A and TCK.B, NYSE: TCK) announced today that the Province of British Columbia recognized two of its coal operations for excellence in mine safety at the 54 th Annual Provincial Mine Rescue, First Aid and Safety Awards ceremony held on June 6 at Britannia Beach. Teck Coal’s Greenhills Operation was awarded the John Ash Award for achieving the lowest injury frequency rate for mines operating over one million worker hours in 2008 and the Line Creek Operation was presented the Edward Prior Award for the mine operating between 200,000 and one million worker hours, with the lowest injury-frequency rate in 2008.

“These awards demonstrate our commitment to living our values,” said Don Lindsay, President and CEO.
