Reports Unaudited Third Quarter Results for 2023
Ramp-up of
QB2 continues with strong asset performance
VANCOUVER, British Columbia,
Oct. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Teck Resources Limited (TSX: TECK.A and TECK.B, NYSE: TECK) (Teck) today announced its unaudited third
quarter results for 2023.
“We
made solid progress on the ramp-up of our flagship QB2 copper project, generating gross profit in the third quarter, and we remain on
track to achieve design throughput by year end," said Jonathan Price, CEO. “Positive financial performance was driven by continued
strong commodity prices, partially offset by lower steelmaking coal sales due to supply chain disruptions – resulting from the B.C.
port strike and wildfires – in the quarter.”
Highlights
| • | Adjusted
profit attributable to shareholders1 of $399 million, or $0.77 per share, in Q3 2023. |
| • | Profit
from continuing operations attributable to shareholders of $276 million, or $0.53 per share, in Q3 2023. |
| • | Adjusted
EBITDA1 was $1.2 billion in Q3 2023, driven by robust prices for copper and steelmaking coal and higher base metals sales
volumes. Profit from continuing operations before taxes was $589 million in Q3 2023. |
| • | Sales
volumes in our copper and zinc business units were higher than the same period last year. QB2 continued to ramp-up operations with production
of 18,300 tonnes of copper and sales of 14,300 tonnes generating gross profit before depreciation and amortization1 of
$19 million in the third quarter. |
| • | The
QB2 plant is performing well and we continue to expect to achieve design throughput at QB2 by the end of 2023. |
| • | Steelmaking
coal prices remain robust, driven by supply constraints and strong demand, particularly from India and China. Prices rose through the
third quarter and into October, with FOB premium spot prices trading at US$343 per tonne as of October 23, 2023. Our high-margin
steelmaking coal business unit is well positioned to continue to deliver strong financial performance in the fourth quarter. |
| • | We
generated cash flows from operations of $736 million, ending the quarter with a cash balance of $1.3 billion. |
| • | Our liquidity
as at October 23, 2023 is $7.0 billion, including $1.5 billion of cash. |
| • | We
continue to advance our copper growth portfolio. In the third quarter, we completed the feasibility study for our HVC 2040 project and
submitted the Project Environmental Assessment to the Environmental Assessment Office of British Columbia in October 2023. |

Key Updates
Executing on our copper
growth strategy – QB2 a long-life, low-cost operation with major expansion potential
| • | QB2
generated gross profit before depreciation and amortization1 of $19 million in the third quarter. |
| • | Line
2 fully commissioned at the end of September, benefiting from the learnings from Line 1 commissioning with a faster, more effective ramp-up
schedule. |
| • | At
the end of the third quarter the plant has been operating consistently at 70% of design capacity. We expect to be operating at design
throughput and recovery rates by year end, although we expect to be at the lower end of our 2023 annual production guidance for QB2. |
| • | Construction
completion of the molybdenum plant is now expected by the end of the fourth quarter of 2023 and the port offshore facilities completion
is expected in the first quarter of 2024. Existing shipping arrangements are expected to provide adequate capacity for shipping product
though the first quarter of 2024. |
| • | Delays
in construction of the molybdenum plant and port offshore facilities, slower than planned demobilization progress and contract claims
risk have put pressure on our capital cost guidance. As a result, we have updated our capital cost guidance for QB2 to US$8.6 to US$8.8
billion from our previously disclosed guidance of US$8.0 to US$8.2 billion. Significant efforts are ongoing to mitigate the risks and
cost pressures. |
Safety and Sustainability
Leadership
| • | Our
High Potential Incident Frequency remained low at a rate of 0.13 in the third quarter. |
| • | We
announced an agreement with Norden that is expected to reduce CO2 emissions in our steelmaking coal supply chain for
Teck shipments handled by Norden. |

Guidance
| • | Our guidance
is outlined in summary below and our usual guidance tables, including three-year production guidance, can be found on pages 28 —
32 of Teck’s third quarter results for 2023 at the link below. |
| • | Our
previously disclosed guidance has been updated for changes to our capital cost guidance for QB2, as outlined above, 2023 annual copper,
molybdenum and steelmaking coal production guidance, noted below, and 2023 capitalized stripping guidance for our copper business unit. |
| • | Our
2023 annual copper production guidance has decreased to 320,000 to 365,000 tonnes from 330,000 to 375,000 tonnes, driven by a localized
geotechnical event at Highland Valley Copper that occurred in August. We do not expect this geotechnical event to impact our annual production
guidance beyond 2023. Our 2023 annual copper production guidance for QB2 is unchanged from our previously disclosed guidance of 80,000
to 100,000 tonnes, although we expect to be at the lower end of this range. |
| • | Our
2023 annual molybdenum production guidance has decreased to 3.0 to 3.8 million pounds from 4.5 to 6.8 million pounds due to the delay
in the construction of the QB2 molybdenum plant, as outlined above. |
| • | Due
to plant challenges this year, we have reduced our 2023 annual steelmaking coal production guidance to 23.0 to 23.5 million tonnes from
24.0 to 26.0 million tonnes. We implemented a plant improvement initiative in the second and third quarters. Combined with the completed
major maintenance outages, we are seeing improved plant performance in the fourth quarter and we are well positioned for the remainder
of the year. |

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL
MEASURES AND RATIOS
Our annual financial results
are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board. 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 and do not have a standardized
meaning prescribed by IFRS 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, 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 in substitute for other measures of performance
prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Adjusted profit 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 attributable to shareholders as
described above.
Adjusted profit 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 – Adjusted basic earnings per share is adjusted profit attributable to shareholders divided by average number
of shares outstanding in the period.
Adjusted diluted earnings
per share – Adjusted diluted earnings per share is adjusted profit 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 business units
or operations.
Unit costs –
Unit costs for our steelmaking coal operations are total cost of goods sold, divided by tonnes sold in the period, excluding depreciation
and amortization charges. We include this information as it is frequently requested by investors and investment analysts who use it to
assess our cost structure and margins and compare it to similar information provided by many companies in the industry.
Adjusted site cash cost
of sales – Adjusted site cash cost of sales for our steelmaking coal operations is defined as the cost of the product as
it leaves the mine excluding depreciation and amortization charges, out-bound transportation costs and any one-time collective agreement
charges and inventory write-down provisions.
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.
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.
Adjusted site cash cost
of sales per tonne – Adjusted site cash cost of sales per tonne is a non-GAAP ratio comprised of adjusted site cash cost
of sales divided by tonnes sold. There is no similar financial measure in our consolidated financial statements with which to compare.

In addition, assumptions
regarding the Elk Valley Water Quality Plan include assumptions that additional treatment will be effective at scale, and that the technology
and facilities operate as expected, as well as additional assumptions discussed under the heading “Elk Valley Water Management
Update.” Assumptions regarding QB2 include current project assumptions and assumptions regarding the final feasibility study,
estimates of future construction capital at QB2 are based on a CLP/USD rate range of 800 — 850, as well as there being no further
unexpected material and negative impact to the various contractors, suppliers and subcontractors for the QB2 project that would impair
their ability to provide goods and services as anticipated during commissioning and ramp-up activities. 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. Statements regarding anticipated steelmaking
coal sales volumes and average steelmaking coal prices depend on timely arrival of vessels and performance of our steelmaking coal-loading
facilities, as well as the level of spot pricing sales. 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; 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 and unanticipated events related to health, safety and environmental
matters); union labour disputes; impact 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. Current and new technologies relating to our Elk Valley water treatment efforts may not perform as anticipated, and ongoing
monitoring may reveal unexpected environmental conditions requiring additional remedial measures. QB2 costs, commissioning and commercial
production is dependent on, among other matters, our continued ability to advance commissioning and ramp-up as currently anticipated and
successfully manage through any remaining impacts of COVID-19, including but not limited to absenteeism and lowered productivity. QB2
costs may also be affected by claims and other proceedings that might be brought against us relating to costs and impacts of the COVID-19
pandemic. Production at our 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. The forward-looking statements
in this news release and actual results will also be impacted by the continuing effects of COVID-19 and related matters, particularly
if there is a further resurgence of the virus.
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

Teck Reports Unaudited Third Quarter Results for
2023
Ramp-up of QB2 continues with strong
asset performance
Vancouver, B.C. – Teck Resources Limited (TSX: TECK.A and TECK.B,
NYSE: TECK) (Teck) today announced its unaudited third quarter results for 2023.
“We made solid progress on the ramp-up of our flagship QB2 copper
project, generating gross profit in the third quarter, and we remain on track to achieve design throughput by year end," said Jonathan
Price, CEO. “Positive financial performance was driven by continued strong commodity prices, partially offset by lower steelmaking
coal sales due to supply chain disruptions – resulting from the B.C. port strike and wildfires – in the quarter.”
Highlights
| • | Adjusted profit attributable to shareholders1 of $399 million,
or $0.77 per share, in Q3 2023. |
| • | Profit from continuing operations attributable to shareholders of $276 million,
or $0.53 per share, in Q3 2023. |
| • | Adjusted EBITDA1 was $1.2 billion in Q3 2023, driven by robust
prices for copper and steelmaking coal and higher base metals sales volumes. Profit from continuing operations before taxes was $589 million
in Q3 2023. |
| • | Sales volumes in our copper and zinc business units were higher than the same
period last year. QB2 continued to ramp-up operations with production of 18,300 tonnes of copper and sales of 14,300 tonnes generating
gross profit before depreciation and amortization1 of $19 million in the third quarter. |
| • | The QB2 plant is performing well and we continue to expect to achieve design
throughput at QB2 by the end of 2023. |
| • | Steelmaking coal prices remain robust, driven by supply constraints and strong
demand, particularly from India and China. Prices rose through the third quarter and into October, with FOB premium spot prices trading
at US$343 per tonne as of October 23, 2023. Our high-margin steelmaking coal business unit is well positioned to continue to deliver strong
financial performance in the fourth quarter. |
| • | We generated cash flows from operations of $736 million, ending the quarter
with a cash balance of $1.3 billion. |
| • | Our liquidity as at October 23, 2023 is $7.0 billion, including $1.5
billion of cash. |
| • | We continue to advance our copper growth portfolio. In the third quarter,
we completed the feasibility study for our HVC 2040 project and submitted the Project Environmental Assessment to the Environmental Assessment
Office of British Columbia in October 2023. |

Key Updates
Executing on our copper growth strategy – QB2 a long-life, low-cost
operation with major expansion potential
| • | QB2 generated gross profit before depreciation and amortization1
of $19 million in the third quarter. |
| • | Line 2 fully commissioned at the end of September, benefiting from the learnings
from Line 1 commissioning with a faster, more effective ramp-up schedule. |
| • | At the end of the third quarter the plant has been operating consistently
at 70% of design capacity. We expect to be operating at design throughput and recovery rates by year end, although we expect to be at
the lower end of our 2023 annual production guidance for QB2. |
| • | Construction completion of the molybdenum plant is now expected by the end
of the fourth quarter of 2023 and the port offshore facilities completion is expected in the first quarter of 2024. Existing shipping
arrangements are expected to provide adequate capacity for shipping product though the first quarter of 2024. |
| • | Delays in construction of the molybdenum plant and port offshore facilities,
slower than planned demobilization progress and contract claims risk have put pressure on our capital cost guidance. As a result, we have
updated our capital cost guidance for QB2 to US$8.6 to US$8.8 billion from our previously disclosed guidance of US$8.0 to US$8.2 billion.
Significant efforts are ongoing to mitigate the risks and cost pressures. |
Safety and Sustainability Leadership
| • | Our High Potential Incident Frequency remained low at a rate of 0.13 in the
third quarter. |

2 | Teck Resources Limited 2023 Third Quarter News Release |
| • | We announced an agreement with Norden that is expected to reduce CO2
emissions in our steelmaking coal supply chain for Teck shipments handled by Norden. |
| • | Our
guidance is outlined in summary below and our usual guidance tables, including three-year
production guidance, can be found on pages 29 — 33.
|
| • | Our previously disclosed guidance has been updated for changes to our capital
cost guidance for QB2, as outlined above, 2023 annual copper, molybdenum and steelmaking coal production guidance, noted below, and 2023
capitalized stripping guidance for our copper business unit. |
| • | Our 2023 annual copper production guidance has decreased to 320,000 to 365,000
tonnes from 330,000 to 375,000 tonnes, driven by a localized geotechnical event at Highland Valley Copper that occurred in August. We
do not expect this geotechnical event to impact our annual production guidance beyond 2023. Our 2023 annual copper production guidance
for QB2 is unchanged from our previously disclosed guidance of 80,000 to 100,000 tonnes, although we expect to be at the lower end of
this range. |
| • | Our 2023 annual molybdenum production guidance has decreased to 3.0 to 3.8
million pounds from 4.5 to 6.8 million pounds due to the delay in the construction of the QB2 molybdenum plant, as outlined above. |
| • | Due to plant challenges this year, we have reduced our 2023 annual steelmaking
coal production guidance to 23.0 to 23.5 million tonnes from 24.0 to 26.0 million tonnes. We implemented a plant improvement initiative
in the second and third quarters. Combined with the completed major maintenance outages, we are seeing improved plant performance in the
fourth quarter and we are well positioned for the remainder of the year. |

Management's Discussion and Analysis
This management’s discussion and analysis is dated as at October 23,
2023 and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Teck Resources Limited
(“Teck”) and the notes thereto for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and with the audited consolidated
financial statements of Teck and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022. In this news release, unless the context otherwise
dictates, a reference to “the company” or “us,” “we” or “our” refers to Teck and its subsidiaries.
Additional information, including our Annual Information Form and Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December
31, 2022, is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
This document contains forward-looking statements. Please refer to
the cautionary language under the heading “CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION” below.
Overview
| • | Our profitability declined in the third quarter as compared with the same
period a year ago primarily due to considerably lower prices for steelmaking coal and zinc, as well as reduced sales volumes from steelmaking
coal and from Highland Valley Copper. The decrease was partially offset by higher copper prices and a weaker Canadian dollar, as compared
with a year ago. |
| • | In the third quarter, LME copper prices increased by 8% compared with a year
ago and averaged US$3.79 per pound, while LME zinc prices decreased by 26% averaging US$1.10 per pound. |
| • | Realized steelmaking coal prices in the third quarter remained strong at US$229
per tonne, but declined 25% from the particularly strong third quarter last year. Prices rose through the third quarter and into October,
with FOB premium spot prices trading at US$343 per tonne as of October 23, 2023. Our high-margin steelmaking coal business unit is well
positioned to continue to deliver strong financial performance in the fourth quarter. |

| • | Copper production volumes in the third quarter, including QB2, increased by
8% from a year ago. Copper sales volumes, including QB2, increased by 3% from the same period a year ago. Copper production and sales
volumes from Highland Valley Copper in the third quarter were negatively impacted by a localized geotechnical event in late August. The
Valley pit was safely re-opened and mining of higher grade ore re-commenced in early October. |
| • | QB2 continued to ramp-up operations in the third quarter with production of
18,300 tonnes of copper and sales of 14,300 tonnes. Gross profit before depreciation and amortization1 from QB2 was $19 million
in the third quarter. |

ratio. See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Ratios” for further
information. |
4 | Teck Resources Limited 2023 Third Quarter News Release |
| • | Zinc in concentrate production in the third quarter decreased by 21% compared
to a year ago primarily driven by reduced mill throughput at Red Dog as a result of equipment failures. Red Dog sales volumes were 15%
higher than the same period last year due to the timing of sales. At Trail Operations, refined zinc production and sales volumes in the
third quarter were slightly higher than a year ago. |
| • | Third quarter steelmaking coal production of 5.5 million tonnes was 4% lower
than a year ago. Third quarter steelmaking coal sales were 5.2 million tonnes, below our guidance of 5.6 — 6.0 million tonnes due
to slower than anticipated supply chain recovery following the impacts of B.C. wildfires, the labour disruption at B.C. ports and plant
challenges. A plant improvement initiative implemented in the second and third quarters is successfully driving improved plant performance
in the fourth quarter. |
| • | We remain highly focused on managing our controllable operating expenditures.
While diesel and other fuel costs have declined compared to last year, we continue to experience inflationary pressures in the cost of
certain key supplies, including mining equipment, tires, labour and contractors. Our underlying key mining drivers remain relatively stable,
and the continued pressures on certain key input costs are reflected in our sustaining capital expenditures and annual unit cost1
guidance for 2023, which are unchanged. |

5 | Teck Resources Limited 2023 Third Quarter News Release |
Profit Attributable to
Shareholders and Adjusted Profit Attributable to Shareholders
In the third quarter, profit from continuing operations attributable to
shareholders was $276 million, or $0.53 per share, compared to $741 million, or $1.42 per share, in the same period last year. The decrease
compared with a year ago is primarily due to lower prices for steelmaking coal and zinc, as well as reduced sales volumes from steelmaking
coal and lower production and sales volumes from Highland Valley Copper. The decrease was partially offset by higher copper prices and
a weaker Canadian dollar, as compared with a year ago.
Adjusted profit attributable to shareholders1 in the third quarter,
taking into account the items identified in the table below, was $399 million, or $0.77 per share, compared with $923 million, or $1.77
per share, in the third quarter of 2022. Significant third quarter adjustments to profit, reflected in the table below, include the effect
of the Chilean tax reform of $69 million on our deferred income tax liability and a $45 million gain relating to changes to the carrying
value of the financial liability for the preferential dividend stream to ENAMI.

Performance
Gross profit from our copper business unit was $165 million in the third
quarter compared with $250 million a year ago. Gross profit decreased from a year ago (see table below) primarily due to lower production
and sales volumes from Highland Valley Copper, which negatively impacted unit operating costs2 partially offset by higher realized
copper prices. Sales volumes of 14,300 tonnes at QB2 generated a gross profit before depreciation and amortization2 of $19
million in the third quarter.
Copper production of 71,900 tonnes in the third quarter was 8% higher than
a year ago and included production of 18,300 tonnes of QB2 production. Third quarter copper production at Highland Valley Copper was impacted
by a localized geotechnical event in late August, which required the operation to process lower grade stockpiled ore during the remainder
of the third quarter. A section of the Valley pit was safely re-opened at the beginning of October and mining of higher grade ore re-commenced.
The table below summarizes the change in gross profit in our copper business
unit for the quarter:

9 | Teck Resources Limited 2023 Third Quarter News Release |
Property, plant and equipment expenditures in the third quarter totaled
$818 million, including $81 million for sustaining capital, $81 million for QB2 capitalized ramp-up costs, which are outlined below, and
$550 million for project development expenditures for QB2.
Capitalized stripping costs were $111 million in the third quarter, $33
million higher than a year ago, as expected with QB2 ramping up.
As QB2 continues to ramp-up production, we incur costs that are capitalized
because they relate to bringing the asset to its design capacity operating level. These costs are referred to as capitalized ramp-up costs.
These costs are not related to the cost of production of copper concentrate sold in the period or project capital construction. As at
September 30, 2023, we had capitalized $561 million of these costs. We expect capitalized ramp-up costs in the fourth quarter, although
we expect amounts to be lower than those capitalized in the third quarter.
Markets
LME copper prices remained above long-term historic trends. Prices in the
third quarter increased by 8% compared with the same period a year ago. Globally, demand for copper remains supported, however, demand
trends vary by region. Demand in Europe has come under pressure from high energy costs and high interest rates. In North America, consumer
demand is soft while industrial and government spending remains strong. In Asia, Indian demand is growing above long-term trends and Chinese
copper demand has been well supported into the third quarter.
The tightness in the copper concentrate market has started to return in
the third quarter with spot treatment charges falling below the 2023 annual contract terms. New smelter capacity is starting to come online
while mine production improved only marginally in the third quarter. Concentrate imports into China are up 9% year to date compared to
the same period a year ago. Peruvian mine production has recovered, while Chilean mine production continues to struggle. Global stocks
of copper cathode on exchanges at the end of the third quarter were 3.3 days of global consumption compared to the long-term average of
11 days. Stocks on exchanges and in bonded warehouses in China decreased by 47,000 tonnes in the third quarter and are down 350,000 tonnes
since their seasonal peak in March. Total visible stocks, including bonded stocks, continue to remain at low levels at 3.8 days of consumption,
compared to a long-term average of 14.5 days.
Operations
Highland Valley Copper
Copper production of 20,500 tonnes in the third quarter was 10,000 tonnes
lower than a year ago due a localized geotechnical event in the Valley pit in late August, noted above. In early October, the Valley pit
was safely re-opened and mining re-commenced.
A complete analysis on the geotechnical failure and required measures was
developed and undertaken for safe re-entry into the Valley pit. This resulted in a revised mine plan to mitigate production losses for
the fourth quarter. As a result, annual production guidance for Highland Valley Copper has been updated to 100,000 to 108,000 tonnes.
Copper sales volumes of 20,700 tonnes in the third quarter were 9,900 tonnes
lower than a year ago reflecting the lower production levels. Third quarter molybdenum production of 67,000 pounds was
10 | Teck Resources Limited 2023 Third Quarter News Release |
404,000 pounds
lower than a year ago as a result of the geotechnical event, which led to the processing of lower molybdenum grade ore.
In the third quarter,
operating costs before inventory changes, were $205 million in the third quarter, $24 million higher than a year ago. The increase in
operating costs was related to timing of maintenance activities in 2023.
Antamina
Copper production (100% basis) of 99,900 tonnes in the third quarter was
14,000 tonnes lower than a year ago, which was expected in the mine plan. The mix of mill feed in the quarter was 50% copper-only ore
and 50% copper-zinc ore, compared with 53% copper-only ore and 47% copper-zinc ore, a year ago. As a result, zinc production (100% basis)
of 125,400 tonnes in the third quarter was 10,200 tonnes higher than a year ago.
In the third quarter, operating costs before changes in inventory were US$95
million (22.5% share), US$10 million higher than a year ago due to increased workers' participation payments.
In 2022, Antamina submitted a Modification of Environmental Impact Assessment
(MEIA) to Peruvian regulators to extend its mine life from 2028 to 2036. The regulatory review process is progressing as scheduled, with
approval anticipated by the end of 2023.
Carmen de Andacollo
Copper production of 9,300 tonnes in the third quarter was 1,400 tonnes
higher than a year ago as a result of higher grades, which were expected in the current mine plan. However, production was impacted by
a 14-day, unplanned shutdown in August due to a conveyor belt failure. Production in the third quarter last year was impacted by a significant
precipitation event resulting in a 5-day shutdown, as well as a change in mill feed strategy.
In the third quarter, operating costs, before changes in inventory, were
US$56 million which was US$6 million lower than a year ago due to the maintenance costs required after the precipitation event.
Quebrada Blanca
In the third quarter, we continued to ramp-up operations at QB2 and the
assets are performing well. We are working to complete final construction and contract close out, with completion of the molybdenum plant
and the port offshore facilities remaining. The following are the key updates relating to both construction and operations at QB2 in the
third quarter:
| • | Copper production for the third quarter was 18,300 tonnes, of which more than
half was produced in September. Sales for the quarter were 14,300 tonnes. We are expecting to be operating at design throughput rates
by the end of the year. |
| • | QB2 generated gross profit before depreciation and amortization1
of $19 million in the third quarter. |
Note:
| 1. | This
is a non-GAAP financial measure or ratio. See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
and Ratios” for further information. |
11 | Teck Resources Limited 2023 Third Quarter News Release |
| • | Line 2 fully commissioned at the end of September, benefiting from the learnings
from Line 1 commissioning with a faster, more effective ramp-up schedule. |
| • | At the end of the third quarter the plant has been operating consistently
at 70% of design capacity. We expect to be operating at design throughput and recovery rates by year end, although we expect to be at
the lower end of our 2023 annual production guidance for QB2. |
| • | Construction completion of the molybdenum plant is now expected at the end
of the fourth quarter of 2023 and the port offshore facilities completion is expected in the first quarter of 2024. Existing shipping
arrangements are expected to provide adequate capacity for shipping product though the first quarter of 2024. |
| • | Delays in construction of the molybdenum plant and port offshore facilities,
slower than planned demobilization progress and contract claims risk have put pressure on our capital cost guidance. As a result, we have
increased our capital cost guidance for QB2 to US$8.6 to US$8.8 billion from US$8.0 to US$8.2 billion. Significant efforts are ongoing
to mitigate the risks and cost pressures. |
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales was $622 million in the third quarter compared with $475 million
in the same period last year, with the ramp-up of production at QB2 accounting for most of the increase. Total cash unit costs1
of product sold in the third quarter, before cash margins for by-products1, of US$2.24 per pound, excluding QB2 costs, were
US$0.38 per pound higher than the same period a year ago. This was due to the effect of lower production levels at Highland Valley Copper
and increased maintenance and repair costs. Cash margins for by-products1 were US$0.37 per pound compared with US$0.44 per
pound in the same period a year ago with the decrease primarily due to lower zinc prices and lower molybdenum sales, driven by the production
issue at Highland Valley Copper as previously described. Total net cash units costs1 for copper, after cash margins for by-products1,
of US$1.87 per pound were US$0.45 per pound higher than the same period a year ago. Although copper unit costs1 in the third
quarter were above our annual guidance range, the variance is timing related, and our annual unit operating cost guidance range is unchanged.

Outlook
Our 2023 annual guidance for our copper business unit is outlined in
our guidance tables on pages 29 — 33. Our 2023 annual guidance has been updated for changes
to our capital cost guidance for QB2, our annual copper and molybdenum production, and capitalized stripping.
As outlined above, delays in construction of the molybdenum plant and port
offshore facilities, slower than planned demobilization progress and contract claims risk have put pressure on our QB2 capital cost guidance.
As a result, we have increased our capital cost guidance for QB2 to US$8.6 to US$8.8 billion from our previously disclosed guidance of
US$8.0 to US$8.2 billion. Significant efforts are ongoing to mitigate the risks and cost pressures.
Our 2023 annual copper production guidance has decreased to 320,000 to 365,000
tonnes from 330,000 to 375,000 tonnes, as a result of the localized geotechnical event at Highland Valley Copper. Our 2023 annual molybdenum
production guidance has decreased to 3.0 to 3.8 million pounds from 4.5 to 6.8 million pounds, as a result of the delay in the construction
of the QB2 molybdenum plant, noted above.
Our 2023 copper capitalized stripping guidance has been updated to $395
million from $295 million as a result of QB2 performing additional stripping activities while the concentrator was in ramp-up. Additional
stripping was performed at Antamina and Highland Valley Copper altered the mine plan for the remainder of 2023 to mitigate the effects
of the localized geotechnical event.
Our 2023 annual copper production guidance for QB2 is unchanged from our
previously disclosed guidance of 80,000 to 100,000 tonnes, although we expect to be at the lower end of this range. We continue to expect
QB2 to reach full throughput rates by the end of 2023.
As a result of recent changes to IFRS, we are required to recognize sales
proceeds and related costs associated with products sold during the ramp-up and commissioning phase of QB2 through earnings rather than
capitalizing these amounts, as has been previous practice. During the third quarter, we generated gross profit from QB2 and expect gross
profit to be generated in the fourth quarter as the ramp-up in production rates continues, subject to copper price changes.
Copper
Growth
In the third quarter, we continued to advance our copper growth strategy
with prudent investments in our industry-leading copper growth portfolio. Our copper growth strategy balances growth and return of capital
with maintaining a strong balance sheet and is informed by milestone objectives with prudent investment plans across the entire portfolio
to de-risk development of each of the assets, including permitting.
| • | For the Quebrada Blanca Mill Expansion (QBME) project, we continued to advance
the Feasibility Study and progress the permitting process throughout the quarter. |
| • | In early October, we submitted the Environmental Assessment application for
the HVC 2040 project to the Environmental Assessment Office of British Columbia in addition to completing the Feasibility Study. |

Performance
Gross profit from our zinc business unit was $96 million in the third quarter
compared with $311 million a year ago. Gross profit decreased compared with a year ago (see table below) primarily due to lower zinc prices,
partially offset by higher zinc premiums on our contracted refined zinc sales.
At our Red Dog Operations, zinc production of 124,600 tonnes in the third
quarter decreased by 21% from a year ago, while lead production increased by 13%. The decrease in zinc production was driven by reduced
mill throughput as a result of equipment failures. At our Trail Operations, refined zinc production was 5% higher than a year ago and
refined lead production in the third quarter was the same as last year. Refined lead production continues to be impacted by the KIVCET
boiler, which is reaching the end of its life. Planning continues to complete the KIVCET boiler replacement in 2024.

Markets
The refined zinc market remained under pressure through the third quarter.
Demand in Europe continued to weaken and investment flows sought returns outside of base metals. Zinc premiums have softened across all
regions and are 23% lower in Europe and 10% lower in North America compared to the second quarter of 2023. In Europe, construction demand
was weak with high energy costs and high interest rates impacting growth. In North America, automotive sales and production were improving
into the third quarter before labour action in North America slowed auto production. Automotive sales continued to increase through the
quarter reaching a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 15.7 million units, well above the 13.8 million unit rate last year. Chinese
demand for zinc in autos and renewable energy remained well supported with year to date new energy vehicle sales up 38%. Demand from the
energy transition sectors in China has offset the weakness in the construction sector.
Prices for zinc on the London Metals Exchange in the third quarter averaged
US$1.10 per pound, a decline from record highs in the third quarter
of 2022 of US$1.48 per pound. The continued low zinc price has forced the closure of several zinc mines around the world due to
high costs and low prices.
The zinc concentrate market continued to improve with spot treatment charges
falling in the third quarter as Chinese buyers maintained imports and most European smelters achieved normal production. Imports of zinc
concentrates to China have increased 25% year to date through to August compared with 2022. Imports over the last twelve months reached
2.2 million tonnes, which is the highest rolling twelve month level on record.
LME zinc stocks rose by 22,175 tonnes in the third quarter and are up 92%
over extremely low levels last year, while stocks held on the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) fell 5,600 tonnes over the same period
last year. Total global exchange stocks remained well below historical levels, ending the quarter at 3.6 days of global consumption, compared
to the 25-year average of 17.2 days. We estimate that total reported global stocks, which include LME, SHFE and bonded stocks, fell by
approximately 7,600 tonnes in the third
16 | Teck Resources Limited 2023 Third Quarter News Release |
quarter to less
than 140,000 tonnes at the end of the quarter, representing an estimated 3.6 days of global demand, compared to the 25-year average of
18.2 days.
Operations
Red Dog
Zinc production decreased to 124,600 tonnes in the third quarter compared
with 157,800 tonnes a year ago. Lower production was driven by reduced mill throughput as a result of equipment failures. Lead production
of 21,400 tonnes in the third quarter was 2,400 tonnes higher than a year ago as a result of higher lead grade.
Zinc sales volumes of 269,700 tonnes were 15% higher in the third quarter
compared to a year ago due to the timing of sales.
Operating costs, before inventory changes, in the third quarter were US$132
million, or US$19 million higher than a year ago. The higher costs were expected in our 2023 unit cost1 guidance and reflect
the inflationary pressures of annual supplies such as diesel and consumables.
Trail Operations
Refined zinc production of 67,200 tonnes in the third quarter was 3,400
tonnes higher than a year ago. Third quarter production this year was lower than expected as a result of two concentrate suppliers unable
to make shipments. Typically alternate feed would be purchased, however, due to low spot treatment charges it was not economical. By mid
October 2023, one of the suppliers re-commenced shipping.
Lead production was 17,200 tonnes, unchanged from a year ago. As previously
disclosed, the KIVCET boiler has reached the end of its useful life and the replacement of the boiler will occur in 2024. Until the boiler
is replaced, we expect lead production will continue to remain at lower levels than historical.
Operating costs, before changes in inventory, in the third quarter were
14% lower than a year ago at $145 million, primarily due to planned maintenance which increased costs a year ago.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales was $1.1 billion in the third quarter compared with $951 million
a year ago, primarily due to increased sales volumes from Red Dog and higher diesel and consumable costs. Total cash unit costs1
of product sold in the third quarter for Red Dog, before cash margins for by-products1, were US$0.67 per pound, US$0.03 per
pound higher than a year ago and within our annual unit cost1 guidance mainly due to higher refining and treatment charges
paid to customers. Net cash unit costs1 for zinc in the third quarter, after cash margin for by-products1 of US$0.43
per pound were US$0.06 per pound higher compared with a year ago, as expected in our annual guidance.

Outlook
Our 2023 annual guidance for our zinc business unit is outlined in our
guidance tables on pages 29 — 33. Although overall guidance remains unchanged, the guidance by
site has changed. Due to production issues at Red Dog, as previously discussed, guidance has been reduced by 5,000 tonnes to 545,000
to 575,000. This decrease is offset by a corresponding 5,000 tonnes increase at Antamina as a result of higher than expected zinc production.
The Red Dog shipping season commenced on July 4, 2023. We currently expect
sales of Red Dog zinc in concentrate to be in the range of 130,000 to 150,000 tonnes in the fourth quarter of 2023, reflecting the normal
seasonal pattern of Red Dog sales.

Performance
Gross profit in the third quarter from our steelmaking coal business unit
was $570 million compared with $1.2 billion a year ago, due to lower steelmaking coal prices and sales volumes (see table below). Realized
steelmaking coal prices averaged US$229 per tonne in the third quarter compared with US$304 per tonne in the same period a year ago.
Third quarter sales volumes of 5.2 million tonnes were below our previously
disclosed guidance of 5.6 — 6.0 million tonnes and 5.6 million tonnes a year ago. The decrease was due to slower than anticipated
supply chain recovery following the impacts of B.C. wildfires, the labour disruption at B.C. ports and plant challenges. The plant improvement
initiative implemented in the second and third quarters is successfully driving improved plant performance in the fourth quarter.
The table below summarizes the change in gross profit in our steelmaking
coal business unit for the quarter:

Property, plant and equipment expenditures were $163 million in the third
quarter, which included $11 million associated with water projects. Capitalized stripping costs were $193 million in the third quarter
19 | Teck Resources Limited 2023 Third Quarter News Release |
compared with
$103 million in the same period last year, as we continue through a notable peak period of capitalized stripping to advance the development
of mine pits to support future production, as anticipated.
Markets
The FOB Australia price assessments ended the third quarter at US$332 per
tonne, increasing from the recent low of US$222 per tonne in May of this year. The quarterly price, lagged by one month, averaged US$240
per tonne. This was a decrease from US$283 per tonne in the second quarter of 2023 and down from US$287 per tonne in the third quarter
of 2022. Steelmaking coal prices rose through the third quarter as a result of global supply shortage for premium hard coking coals, driven
by production and logistics disruptions and strong demand from China and India. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter prices continued
to rise, with FOB premium spot prices trading at US$343 per tonne as of October 23, 2023.
The CFR China price assessments for the third quarter averaged US$250 per
tonne compared to US$242 per tonne in the second quarter of 2023 and US$310 per tonne in the third quarter of 2022. Blast furnace utilization
in China remains elevated at over 90%, with hot metal production up close to 4% year to date.
Operations
Third quarter steelmaking coal production of 5.5 million tonnes was 0.2
million tonnes lower than the same period a year ago. Production in the third quarter was primarily impacted by planned maintenance outages
at two of our operations, including Fording River, our largest operation, as well as intermittent plant challenges. Overall plant reliability
improved in the third quarter relative to the first half of this year, partially attributed to activities completed during the planned
maintenance outages.
Total material movement and equipment hours in the third quarter were in
line with the same period a year ago, demonstrating the continued stabilization of workforce levels and equipment utilization.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales of $1.0 billion in the third quarter was similar to the same
period last year. Adjusted site cash cost of sales1 was $101 per tonne, compared with $92 per tonne a year ago, primarily due
to reduced production levels and increased maintenance activities associated with planned maintenance.
Transportation unit costs1 in the third quarter were $50 per
tonne, compared to $48 per tonne in the same quarter last year. The increase was largely driven by higher demurrage and port costs due
to the labour disruptions at ports in B.C. in July and the impact on rail from the B.C. wildfires in August. Transportation unit costs1
are expected to decline in the fourth quarter with the number of vessels at anchor returning to normal levels by the end of the year.

Outlook
With steelmaking coal prices entering the fourth quarter above US$330 per
tonne, our steelmaking coal business unit is well positioned to continue delivering strong financial performance through the remainder
of 2023. Our 2023 annual guidance for our steelmaking coal business is outlined in our guidance tables on pages 29
— 33 and changes from our previously disclosed guidance are outlined below.
As a result of plant challenges to date, we have lowered our 2023 annual
production guidance to 23.0 to 23.5 million tonnes from our previously disclosed guidance of 24.0 to 26.0 million tonnes. The plant improvement
initiative, combined with the major maintenance activities that were completed earlier this year, is successfully driving improved plant
performance in the fourth quarter. Further, strong raw coal inventories are expected to provide product flexibility and optionality into
the fourth quarter and beyond.
The lower production levels for the year are expected to put upward pressure
on adjusted site cash cost of sales1 and transportation unit costs1, which are expected to be at the upper end of
our 2023 annual guidance ranges. Transportation unit costs1 are expected to decline in the fourth quarter with the number of
vessels at anchor returning to normal levels by the end of the year.
We expect fourth quarter steelmaking coal sales to be between 5.8 and 6.2
million tonnes, maximizing use of available inventories.
Steelmaking coal capital expenditures in 2023 are expected to be within
our previously disclosed guidance of $790 million, with a decrease in water treatment capital (outlined below) to be offset by an increase
in other sustaining capital, including the Elkview Administrative and Maintenance Complex project.

21 | Teck Resources Limited 2023 Third Quarter News Release |
Elk Valley Water Management Update
We continue to implement the water quality management measures required
by the Elk Valley Water Quality Plan (the Plan). The Plan establishes short-, medium-, and long-term water quality targets for selenium,
nitrate, sulphate and cadmium to protect the environment and human health.
For 2023, our priority is to fully operationalize our 77.5 million litres
per day constructed water treatment capacity by the end of the year. This additional capacity, a fourfold increase from 2020, is expected
to achieve one of the primary objectives of the Plan: stabilizing and reducing the selenium trend in the Elk Valley. Currently, treatment
is effectively removing selenium and water quality monitoring shows that selenium levels are trending down downstream of treatment and
stabilizing in the Elk River. We expect further reductions across the watershed and in the Koocanusa Reservoir as additional treatment
is completed.
Due to revised timelines for permitting, equipment procurement, and engineering
development, we now anticipate our 2023 annual sustaining water capital guidance related to investment in water treatment facilities,
water management (source control, calcite management and tributary management), and the incremental measures required under the October
2020 Direction issued by Environment and Climate Change Canada (the Direction) to be approximately $100 million, compared to the previously
disclosed guidance of $220 million. As a result, we anticipate our water treatment capital expenditures for 2023 and 2024 to be between
$300 to $400 million, compared to our previous guidance of $450 to $550 million. Despite the deferral of water treatment capital expenditures
into future years, we continue to expect to meet our water treatment capacity targets by further increasing our constructed water treatment
capacity to 150 million litres per day by the end of 2026.
Final costs of implementing the Plan and other water quality initiatives
will depend in part on the technologies applied, on regulatory developments and on the results of ongoing environmental monitoring and
modelling. The timing of expenditures will depend on resolution of technical issues, permitting timelines and other factors. Certain cost
estimates to date are based on limited engineering. Implementation of the Plan also requires additional operating permits. We expect that,
in order to maintain water quality, some form of water treatment will continue for an indefinite period after mining operations end. The
Plan contemplates ongoing monitoring to ensure that the water quality targets set out in the Plan are protective of the environment and
human health and provides for adjustments if warranted by monitoring results. Proposed amendments to the Plan are under discussion with
provincial regulators and Indigenous communities.
The state of Montana's water quality standard for the Koocanusa Reservoir
downstream of our mining operations has been set aside on procedural grounds. We continue to engage with U.S. regulators to work towards
the establishment of appropriate science-based standards for the reservoir. Ongoing monitoring, as well as our continued research into
treatment technologies, could reveal unexpected environmental impacts, technical issues or advances associated with potential treatment
technologies. This could substantially increase or decrease both capital and operating costs associated with water quality management
or could materially affect our ability to permit mine life extensions in new mining areas.
22 | Teck Resources Limited 2023 Third Quarter News Release |
OTHER OPERATING INCOME AND EXPENSES
Other operating expense, net of other income, was $128 million in the third
quarter compared with $435 million a year ago. Significant items in the third quarter included $26 million of share-based compensation
expense, $53 million of positive settlement pricing adjustments and a $43 million gain on the remeasurement of our reclamation liabilities
relating to an increase in the rates used to discount our decommissioning and restoration provisions for closed operations.
The table below outlines our outstanding receivable positions, which are
valued using provisional prices at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023.

Finance expense includes the interest expense on our debt, on advances to
QBSA from 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. Finance
expense of $71 million in the third quarter was $11 million higher than the same period last year primarily due to higher accretion for
our decommissioning and restoration provision. We expect our finance expense to increase in 2024 compared to 2023 as we cease capitalization
of borrowing cost amounts relating to the development of QB2.
Non-operating income, net of non-operating expense, was $71 million in the
third quarter compared with $116 million expense in the same period last year. The most significant item in the quarter was a $75 million
gain on the changes to the carrying value of the financial liability for the preferential dividend stream to ENAMI. The carrying value
of this financial liability is most significantly affected by copper prices and the interest rate on the subordinated loans provided by
us and SMM/SC to QBSA, which affect when QBSA repays the loans.
General and administration expenses of $73 million in the third quarter
were $19 million higher than the same period last year as we invest in digital technology to enhance productivity across our business.
General and administration expenses are expected to continue at current levels through 2023.
Income Taxes
Provision for income and resource taxes was $321 million, or 54% of pre-tax
profit. In the third quarter, we recorded a one-time deferred tax charge of $106 million arising from the enactment of the new Chilean
two-tiered mining royalty regime which added 18% to our overall tax rate. In addition, the gain on the carrying value of the ENAMI preferential
dividend stream, which is not taxable, reduced our overall effective tax rate by 3%. Excluding these items, our effective tax rate would
have been 39%, which is higher than the Canadian statutory income tax rate of 27%, primarily due to resource taxes, higher taxes in foreign
jurisdictions, and the effect of certain corporate and finance costs that are not deductible in computing income for resource tax purposes.
For the full year we expect our effective tax rate to be in the range of 37% to 39% based on our current expectations regarding commodity
prices and sales by jurisdiction for the balance of the year.
23 | Teck Resources Limited 2023 Third Quarter News Release |
The new Chilean mining royalty regime consists of a flat 1% ad-valorem
component applicable to copper revenues and a profit-based component based on rates ranging from 8% to 26%, determined in reference to
mining margin percentage, applicable to adjusted operating profits. The amount of the profit-based royalty is capped so that the overall
effective tax rate does not exceed 46.5% as computed in reference to the sum of the ad valorem and profit-based components of the
royalty, corporate income tax and imputed withholding tax in relation to adjusted operating profits.
Due to the tax stability agreements we have in place with the Chilean government
for Carmen de Andacollo and Quebrada Blanca, we will continue to be subject to the current Specific Mining Tax regime until the end of
2027 and 2037, respectively, before we are subject to the new mining royalty regime.
We are subject to and pay cash income and resource taxes in all jurisdictions.
In the first quarter of this year, we began making monthly statutory minimum Canadian income tax instalments. Due to income inclusion
timing rules related to the partnerships through which our Canadian steelmaking coal and copper operations are held, previously deferred
Canadian income taxes of approximately $625 million associated with our 2022 earnings will be payable in February 2024, together with
the final tax payment associated with our 2023 earnings.

Our liquidity was $7.0 billion as at October 23, 2023, including $1.5
billion of cash.
On June 15, 2023, we made the first scheduled debt repayment on our senior
QB2 project finance facility. Semi-annual payments of US$147 million are required on June 15 and December 15 over the next 8.5 years.
We maintain various committed and uncommitted credit facilities for liquidity
and for the issuance of letters of credit. Our US$4.0 billion committed revolving credit facility is a sustainability-linked facility,
which involves pricing adjustments that are aligned with our sustainability performance and strategy. 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 18% at September 30, 2023.
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 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
25 | Teck Resources Limited 2023 Third Quarter News Release |
approximately
$3.6 billion at September 30, 2023. We may be required to post additional security in respect of reclamation at our sites in future periods
as additional land is disturbed, regulatory requirements change or closure plans are updated.
Quebrada Blanca (QBSA) entered into a contract with Transelec S.A. to lease
an electrical power transmission system to connect the QB2 project with the Chilean national power grid. Subsequent to the end of the
third quarter, the Chilean National Electric Coordinator issued the certificate that approves the entry into operation for the transmission
system, leading to the commencement date of the lease. The lease requires QBSA to pay approximately US$22 million per year, escalating
by 2.2% annually. On initial recognition of the lease in the fourth quarter, we will record a lease liability of approximately US$324
million, with a corresponding right-of-use asset.
Operating Cash Flow
Cash flow from operations in the third quarter was $736 million compared
with $1.8 billion a year ago. The reduced cash flow reflects a decrease in profit attributable to shareholders due to lower steelmaking
coal and zinc prices and a decrease in steelmaking coal sales volumes, as well as fluctuations in working capital year-over-year.
During the third quarter, changes in working capital items resulted in a
use of cash of $233 million compared with a source of cash of $262 million a year ago. The use of cash in the current period reflects
the build up of trade receivables and supplies inventory with the ramp-up of QB2, partly offset by the seasonal decrease in production
inventories at Red Dog. The reduction of working capital last year and resulting source of cash reflected a decrease in trade receivables
in the period.
Investing Activities
Expenditures on property, plant and equipment were $1.1 billion in the third
quarter, including $81 million for QB2 capitalized ramp-up costs, $550 million for the development of the QB2 project and $289 million
of sustaining capital. The largest components of sustaining capital expenditures were $159 million at our steelmaking coal operations,
$25 million at Quebrada Blanca and $36 million at Antamina.
As QB2 continues to ramp-up production, we incur costs that are capitalized
because they relate to bringing the asset to its design capacity operating level. These costs are referred to as capitalized ramp-up costs.
These costs are not related to the cost of production of copper concentrate sold in the period or project capital construction. As at
September 30, 2023, we had capitalized $561 million of these costs.
Capitalized production stripping costs were $325 million in the third quarter
compared with $209 million a year ago. The majority of this represents the advancement of pits for future production at our steelmaking
coal operations.

Financing Activities
Interest and various finance fees paid in the third quarter, including amounts
capitalized, totaled $94 million, similar to a year ago.
In the third quarter, we paid $65 million in respect of our regular base
quarterly dividend of $0.125 per share.
FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Sales of our products are denominated in U.S. dollars while a significant
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 September 30, 2023, approximately $2.4 billion of our U.S. dollar denominated debt is
designated as a hedge against our foreign operations that have a U.S. dollar functional currency. As a result, any foreign exchange gains
or losses arising on that amount of our U.S. dollar debt are recorded in other comprehensive income, with the remainder being charged
to profit.
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 tariffs and the potential for trade disputes, may have
a significant positive or negative effect on the prices of the various products we produce.
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, as well as any potential resurgence of COVID-19, 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.
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 ore bodies, the permitting processes, the availability of skilled
resources to develop projects, as well as infrastructure constraints, political risk and significant cost
27 | Teck Resources Limited 2023 Third Quarter News Release |
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 profit (loss) attributable to shareholders
and EBITDA5 to changes in the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate and commodity prices, before pricing adjustments, based on
our current balance sheet, our 2023 mid-range production estimates, current commodity prices and a Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate
of $1.30, is as follows:

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, metal-related forward contracts including those embedded
in our silver and gold streaming agreements, QB2 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 guidance for 2023, including production guidance
for the following three years, is outlined in the tables below. The guidance ranges reflect uncertainties including the potential for
extreme weather events and other potential disruptions. Our 2023 annual guidance has been updated for changes to our capital cost guidance
for QB2, our copper, molybdenum and steelmaking coal production guidance and capitalized stripping guidance for our copper business unit.
The changes to each of these items is further described below.
| • | Delays in construction of the molybdenum plant and port offshore facilities,
slower than planned demobilization progress and contract claims risk have put pressure on our capital cost guidance. As a result, we are
updating our capital cost guidance for QB2 to US$8.6 to $8.8 billion from our previously disclosed guidance of US$8.0 to US$8.2 billion.
Significant efforts are ongoing to mitigate the risks and cost pressures. |
| • | Our 2023 annual copper production guidance, including QB2, has decreased to
320,000 to 365,000 tonnes from 330,000 to 375,000 tonnes, driven by a localized geotechnical event at Highland Valley Copper that occurred
in August. We do not expect this geotechnical event to impact our annual production guidance beyond 2023. Our 2023 annual copper production
guidance for QB2 is unchanged from our previously disclosed guidance of 80,000 to 100,000 tonnes, although we expect to be at the lower
end of this range. |
| • | Our 2023 annual molybdenum production guidance has decreased to 3.0 to 3.8
million pounds from 4.5 to 6.8 million pounds due to the delay in the construction of the QB2 molybdenum plant, as outlined above. |
| • | Our overall 2023 annual zinc guidance remains unchanged, however, Red Dog
production was reduced by 5,000 tonnes to 545,000 to 575,000 tonnes due to production issues, previously discussed, and Antamina was increased
by 5,000 tonnes as a result of higher than expected production. |
| • | Due to plant challenges this year, we have reduced our 2023 annual steelmaking
production guidance to 23.0 to 23.5 million tonnes from 24.0 to 26.0 million tonnes. |
| • | Our 2023 copper capitalized stripping guidance has been updated to $395 million
from $295 million as a result of QB2 performing additional stripping activities while the concentrator was in ramp-up, Additional stripping
was performed at Antamina and Highland Valley Copper altered the mine plan for the remainder of 2023 to mitigate the effects of the localized
geotechnical event. |

AREAS OF JUDGMENT AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we make judgments in
applying our accounting policies. The judgments that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in our financial statements
include the assessment of impairment indicators, the determination of the available for use date for property, plant and equipment, accounting
for joint arrangements, streaming transactions and the accounting for income taxes. In addition, we make assumptions about the future
in deriving estimates used in preparing our consolidated financial statements. Sources of estimation uncertainty include estimates used
to determine the recoverable amounts of long-lived assets, recoverable reserves and resources, the provision for income taxes and the
related deferred tax assets and liabilities and the valuation of other assets and liabilities including decommissioning and restoration
provisions. These areas of judgment and critical accounting estimates are consistent with those reported in our 2022 annual consolidated
financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis, except as outlined below.
33 | Teck Resources Limited 2023 Third Quarter News Release |
ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS
Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS
7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2
In August 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments
(IFRS 9), IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (IAS 39), IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures
(IFRS 7), IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts (IFRS 4) and IFRS 16, Leases (IFRS 16) as a result of Phase 2 of the IASB’s
Interest Rate Benchmark Reform project. The amendments address issues arising in connection with reform of benchmark interest rates, including
the replacement of one benchmark rate with an alternative one. The amendments were effective January 1, 2021.
Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (Term SOFR) was formally recommended
by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (a committee convened by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board) as the recommended fallback for
USD London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) based loans. Term SOFR is expected to be largely equivalent on an economic basis to LIBOR, which
allowed for use of the practical expedient under IFRS 9. Our QB2 project financing facility, Compañía Minera Antamina S.A.
(Antamina) loan agreement and QB2 advances from Sumitomo Metal Mining Co., Ltd. and Sumitomo Corporation (together referred to as SMM/SC)
are our most significant financial instruments that were exposed to LIBOR.
We transitioned our sustainability-linked revolving credit facility to Term
SOFR in 2022. This did not affect our financial statements as this credit facility remains undrawn. We transitioned the remaining financial
instruments that used LIBOR settings to Term SOFR in the second quarter of 2023. The transition did not result in a significant change
to our financial statements, our interest rate risk management strategy or our interest rate risk.
Amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial
Statements
In October 2022, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of
Financial Statements titled Non-current liabilities with covenants. These amendments sought to improve the information that
an entity provides when its right to defer settlement of a liability is subject to compliance with covenants within 12 months after the
reporting period. These amendments to IAS 1 override but incorporate the previous amendments, Classification of liabilities as current
or non-current, issued in January 2020, which clarified that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current depending
on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Liabilities should be classified as non-current if a company has a substantive
right to defer settlement for at least 12 months at the end of the reporting period. The amendments are effective January 1, 2024,
with early adoption permitted. Retrospective application is required on adoption. We do not expect these amendments to have a material
effect on our financial statements.
Amendment to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 –
Disclosure of Accounting Policies
In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of
Financial Statements and the IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements to provide guidance on the application
of materiality judgments to accounting policy disclosures. The amendments to IAS 1 replace the requirement to disclose ‘significant’
accounting policies with a requirement to disclose ‘material’ accounting policies. Guidance and illustrative examples are
added in the Practice Statement to assist in the application of materiality concepts when making judgments about accounting policy disclosures.
The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. Prospective
application is required on adoption. We do not expect these amendments to have a material
34 | Teck Resources Limited 2023 Third Quarter News Release |
effect on our
annual financial statements. However, we do expect changes to the accounting policy information disclosed.
Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 – Supplier Finance
Arrangements
In May 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 7, Statement of Cash Flows
and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments Disclosures to provide guidance on disclosures related to supplier finance arrangements that
enable users of financial statements to assess the effects of these arrangements on the entity’s liabilities and cash flows and
on the entity’s exposure to liquidity risk. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024,
with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the potential disclosure requirements of these amendments.
Amendments to IAS 12 - International Tax Reform - Pillar
Two Model Rules
In May 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12, Income Taxes (IAS
12), to clarify the application of IAS 12 to income taxes arising from tax law enacted or substantively enacted related to the Pillar
Two model rules published by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
The amendments require a mandatory temporary exception which prohibits the
accounting for deferred taxes arising from tax law that implements the Pillar Two model rules. This amendment was effective immediately
upon its release.
The amendments also require disclosures that explain an entity's exposure
to Pillar Two income taxes. These disclosure requirements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1,
2023, but are not required for interim periods before December 31, 2023.
In August 2023, Finance Canada released, for public consultation, the draft
legislation to implement the OECD's Pillar Two global minimum tax regime. At the end of the third quarter of 2023, there was no tax legislation
enacted or substantively enacted related to the Pillar Two model in the jurisdictions we operate. We are currently assessing the potential
effect of these amendments on our annual financial statements.
OUTSTANDING SHARE DATA
As at October 23, 2023, there were 512.2 million Class B subordinate voting
shares (Class B shares) and 7.8 million Class A common shares outstanding. In addition, there were approximately 13.6 million share options
outstanding with exercise prices ranging between $5.34 and $63.11 per share. More information on these instruments and the terms of their
conversion is set out in Note 25 of our 2022 audited consolidated financial statements.
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 September 30, 2023 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 results are prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. 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 and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS 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, 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.
Adjusted profit 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
43 | Teck Resources Limited 2023 Third Quarter News Release |
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 attributable to shareholders as described
above.
Adjusted profit 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 business units or operations.
Gross profit margins before depreciation
and amortization – Gross profit margins before depreciation are gross profit before depreciation and amortization, divided
by revenue for each respective business unit. We believe this measure assists us and readers to compare margins on a percentage basis
among our business units.
Unit costs – Unit costs
for our steelmaking coal operations are total cost of goods sold, divided by tonnes sold in the period, excluding depreciation and amortization
charges. We include this information as it is frequently requested by investors and investment analysts who use it to assess our cost
structure and margins and compare it to similar information provided by many companies in the industry.
Adjusted site cash cost of sales
– Adjusted site cash cost of sales for our steelmaking coal operations is defined as the cost of the product as it leaves the mine
excluding depreciation and amortization charges, out-bound transportation costs and any one-time collective agreement charges and inventory
write-down provisions.
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.
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
44 | Teck Resources Limited 2023 Third Quarter News Release |
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.
Net debt – Net debt is
total debt, less cash and cash equivalents.
Net debt to net debt-plus-equity ratio
– net debt to net debt-plus-equity ratio is net debt divided by the sum of net debt plus total equity, expressed as a percentage.
Net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio
– net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio is net debt divided by adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ended at the reporting period,
expressed as the number of times adjusted EBITDA needs to be earned to repay the net debt.
Adjusted basic earnings per share –
Adjusted basic earnings per share is adjusted profit attributable to shareholders divided by average number of shares outstanding in the
period.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share –
Adjusted diluted earnings per share is adjusted profit attributable to shareholders divided by average number of fully diluted shares
in a period.
Adjusted site cash cost of sales per tonne
– Adjusted site cash cost of sales per tonne is a non-GAAP ratio comprised of adjusted site cash cost of sales divided by tonnes
sold. There is no similar financial measure in our consolidated financial statements with which to compare.
Total cash unit costs per pound
–Total cash unit costs per pound is a non-GAAP ratio comprised of adjusted cash cost of sales divided by payable pounds sold plus
smelter processing charges divided by payable pounds sold.
Net cash unit costs per pound
– Net cash unit costs per pound is a non-GAAP ratio comprised of (adjusted cash cost of sales plus smelter processing charges less
cash margin for by-products) divided by payable pounds sold. There is no similar financial measure in our consolidated financial statements
with which to compare. Adjusted cash cost of sales is a non-GAAP financial measure.
Cash margins for by-products per pound –
Cash margins for by-products per pound is a non-GAAP ratio comprised of cash margins for by-products divided by payable pounds sold.

including capital and operating costs, from 2023-2024 on water treatment, water management and incremental measures associated with the
Direction; timing of advancement and completion of key water treatment projects; our expectation that we will increase our water treatment
capacity to 150 million litres per day by the end of 2026; expectations regarding engagement with U.S. regulators on water quality standards;
expectations regarding finance expenses in 2024 and general and administration expenses through year end 2023; expectations with respect
to the impacts of the Chilean Mining Royalty bill; expectations regarding timing and amount of income tax payments; liquidity and availability
of borrowings under our credit facilities; 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
stripping, and other guidance under the heading “Guidance” and as discussed elsewhere in the various business unit sections;
our expectations regarding inflationary pressures and increased key input costs, including profit based compensation and royalties; 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 supply and demand
for, deliveries of, and the level and volatility of prices of copper, zinc and steelmaking coal 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
56 | Teck Resources Limited 2023 Third 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

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 tax rates; the outcome of our coal price and volume negotiations with customers; 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.
In addition, assumptions regarding the Elk Valley Water Quality Plan include
assumptions that additional treatment will be effective at scale, and that the technology and facilities operate as expected, as well
as additional assumptions discussed under the heading “Elk Valley Water Management Update.” Assumptions regarding QB2
include current project assumptions and assumptions regarding the final feasibility study, estimates of future construction capital at
QB2 are based on a CLP/USD rate range of 800 — 850, as well as there being no further unexpected material and negative impact to
the various contractors, suppliers and subcontractors for the QB2 project that would impair their ability to provide goods and services
as anticipated during commissioning and ramp-up activities. 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. Statements regarding anticipated steelmaking coal sales volumes and average
steelmaking coal prices depend on timely arrival of vessels and performance of our steelmaking coal-loading facilities, as well as the
level of spot pricing sales. 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; 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,
57 | Teck Resources Limited 2023 Third Quarter News Release |
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 and unanticipated events related to health, safety and environmental matters); union
labour disputes; impact 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. Current and new technologies relating to our Elk Valley water treatment efforts may not perform as anticipated, and ongoing
monitoring may reveal unexpected environmental conditions requiring additional remedial measures. QB2 costs, commissioning and commercial
production is dependent on, among other matters, our continued ability to advance commissioning and ramp-up as currently anticipated
and successfully manage through any remaining impacts of COVID-19, including but not limited to absenteeism and lowered productivity.
QB2 costs may also be affected by claims and other proceedings that might be brought against us relating to costs and impacts of the
COVID-19 pandemic. Production at our 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. The forward-looking
statements in this news release and actual results will also be impacted by the continuing effects of COVID-19 and related matters, particularly
if there is a further resurgence of the virus.
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, 2022, filed under our profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com)
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.

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
We prepare our annual consolidated financial statements in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). These condensed interim
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34).
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read
in conjunction with our most recent annual financial statements. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements follow the
same accounting policies and methods of application as our most recent annual financial statements except for certain pronouncements disclosed
in Note 2. On October 23, 2023, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors authorized these financial statements for issuance.
Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and
IFRS 16 – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2
In August 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments
(IFRS 9), IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (IAS 39), IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures
(IFRS 7), IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts (IFRS 4) and IFRS 16, Leases (IFRS 16) as a result of Phase 2 of the IASB’s
Interest Rate Benchmark Reform project. The amendments address issues arising in connection with reform of benchmark interest rates, including
the replacement of one benchmark rate with an alternative one. The amendments were effective January 1, 2021.
Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (Term SOFR) was formally recommended
by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (a committee convened by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board) as the recommended fallback for
USD London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) based loans. Term SOFR is expected to be largely equivalent on an economic basis to LIBOR, which
allowed for use of the practical expedient under IFRS 9. Our QB2 project financing facility, Compañía Minera Antamina S.A.
(Antamina) loan agreement and QB2 advances from Sumitomo Metal Mining Co., Ltd. and Sumitomo Corporation (together referred to as SMM/SC)
are our most significant financial instruments that were exposed to LIBOR.
We transitioned our sustainability-linked revolving credit facility to Term
SOFR in 2022. This did not affect our financial statements as this credit facility remains undrawn. We transitioned the remaining financial
instruments that used LIBOR settings to Term SOFR in the second quarter of 2023. The transition did not result in a significant change
to our financial statements, our interest rate risk management strategy or our interest rate risk.
Amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial
Statements
In October 2022, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of
Financial Statements titled Non-current liabilities with covenants. These amendments sought to improve the information that
an entity provides when its right to defer settlement of a liability is subject to compliance with covenants within 12 months after the
reporting period. These amendments to IAS 1 override but incorporate the previous amendments, Classification of liabilities as current
or non-current, issued in January 2020, which clarified that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current depending
on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Liabilities should be classified as non-current if a company has a substantive
right to defer settlement for at least 12 months at the end of the reporting period. The amendments are effective January 1, 2024, with
early adoption permitted. Retrospective application is required on adoption. We do not expect these amendments to have a material effect
on our financial statements.

Amendment to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement
2 – Disclosure of Accounting Policies
In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of
Financial Statements and the IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements to provide guidance on the application
of materiality judgments to accounting policy disclosures. The amendments to IAS 1 replace the requirement to disclose ‘significant’
accounting policies with a requirement to disclose ‘material’ accounting policies. Guidance and illustrative examples are
added in the Practice Statement to assist in the application of materiality concepts when making judgments about accounting policy disclosures.
The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. Prospective application
is required on adoption. We do not expect these amendments to have a material effect on our annual financial statements. However, we do
expect changes to the accounting policy information disclosed.
Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 – Supplier Finance Arrangements
In May 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 7, Statement of Cash Flows
and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments Disclosures to provide guidance on disclosures related to supplier finance arrangements that
enable users of financial statements to assess the effects of these arrangements on the entity’s liabilities and cash flows and
on the entity’s exposure to liquidity risk. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024,
with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the potential disclosure requirements of these amendments.
Amendments to IAS 12 - International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model Rules
In May 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12, Income Taxes (IAS
12), to clarify the application of IAS 12 to income taxes arising from tax law enacted or substantively enacted related to the Pillar
Two model rules published by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
The amendments require a mandatory temporary exception which prohibits the
accounting for deferred taxes arising from tax law that implements the Pillar Two model rules. This amendment was effective immediately
upon its release.
The amendments also require disclosures that explain an entity's exposure
to Pillar Two income taxes. These disclosure requirements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1,
2023, but are not required for interim periods before December 31, 2023.
In August 2023, Finance Canada released, for public consultation, the draft
legislation to implement the OECD's Pillar Two global minimum tax regime. At the end of the third quarter of 2023, there was no tax legislation
enacted or substantively enacted related to the Pillar Two model in the jurisdictions we operate. We are currently assessing the potential
effect of these amendments on our annual financial statements.

3. | | DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS |
Fort Hills sale transaction
On February 2, 2023, we completed
the sale of our 21.3% interest in Fort Hills and associated downstream assets to Suncor Energy Inc. (Suncor). Total Energies E&P Canada
Ltd (TEPCA) exercised its right of first refusal to purchase its proportionate share of our Fort Hills interest.
We have accounted for this transaction
by recognizing:
| • | aggregate cash proceeds of approximately $1 billion from Suncor and TEPCA;
and |
| • | a financial liability estimated at $269 million on closing. The current portion
of $26 million was recorded as part of trade accounts payable and other liabilities. The non-current portion of $243 million was recorded
as part of provisions and other liabilities. This financial liability is related to the remaining term of a downstream pipeline take or
pay toll commitment. |
We recognized a post-tax loss of approximately $8 million, which is presented
in loss from discontinued operations upon closing of this transaction.

| a) | Sunset
of Dual Class Share Structure |
On April 26, 2023, Teck’s shareholders
approved a six-year sunset for the multiple voting rights attached to the Class A common shares of Teck (the Dual Class Amendment). On
May 12, 2023, each Teck Class A common share was acquired by Teck in exchange for (i) one new Class A common share and (ii) 0.67 of a
Class B subordinate voting share recognized as a $302 million increase to Class B shares and reduction to retained earnings. The terms
of the new Class A common shares are identical to the previous terms of Class A common shares, except that on May 12, 2029, the new Class
A common shares will automatically convert into Class B subordinate voting shares, which will then be renamed common shares, on a one-for-one
basis, and for no additional consideration or premium.
| b) | San Nicolás arrangement |
On April 6, 2023, we closed the transaction with Agnico Eagle Mines Limited
(Agnico Eagle) forming a 50:50 joint arrangement to advance the San Nicolás copper-zinc development project located in Zacatecas,
Mexico. Agnico Eagle has agreed to subscribe for a 50% interest in Minas de San Nicolás, S.A.P.I. de C.V. (MSN) for US$580 million,
to be contributed as study and development costs are incurred by MSN.
We concluded that MSN is a joint operation where we share joint control
with Agnico Eagle due to the key facts that Teck and Agnico Eagle are obligated for their share of the outputs of the arrangement and
that Teck and Agnico Eagle are required to fund their respective share of cash flows to the arrangement. We account for our interest in
the joint operation by recording our share of the respective assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and cash flows.
We recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $15 million ($10 million post-tax)
in other operating income (expense) (Note 6) on Agnico Eagle's initial subscription for 3.5% of the project.
| c) | Quintette sale transaction |
On February 16, 2023, we closed the transaction with Conuma Resources Limited
(Conuma) to sell all the assets and liabilities of the Quintette steelmaking coal mine in northeastern British Columbia. In exchange for
the sale of the Quintette steelmaking coal mine, Conuma has agreed to pay in cash $120 million of staged payments over 36 months and an
ongoing 25% net profits interest royalty, first payable after Conuma recovers its initial construction investments in Quintette.
We accounted for this transaction by recognizing:
| • | cash of $30 million related to a non-refundable deposit and cash received
upon closing; |
| • | a financial receivable of $69 million recorded as part of financial and other
assets, which reflects the fair value of the staged payments at the close of the transaction; and |
| • | a mineral interest royalty in the amount of $200 million recorded as part
of property, plant and equipment, which reflects the fair value of the royalty interest on closing of the transaction. The key facts and
circumstances that resulted in concluding the royalty should be accounted for as a mineral interest were the alignment of cash flow risks
and returns with the existing mine plan and that payments will only occur during the life of the mine. |
We recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $75 million ($50 million post-tax)
in other operating income (expense) upon closing of this transaction (Note 6).

4. | | TRANSACTIONS, continued |
On February 15, 2023, we closed the transaction with PolyMet Mining Corp.
(PolyMet) forming a 50:50 joint arrangement to advance PolyMet's NorthMet Project and Teck's Mesaba mineral deposit. The joint arrangement
is held and operated through a new entity named NewRange Copper Nickel LLC (NewRange).
We concluded that NewRange is a joint operation where we share joint control
with PolyMet due to the key facts that Teck and PolyMet are obligated for their share of the outputs of the arrangement and that Teck
and PolyMet are required to fund their respective share of cash flows to the arrangement. We account for our interest in the joint operation
by recording our share of the respective assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and cash flows.
This was a non-cash transaction. We have measured the fair value of the
assets and liabilities contributed by Polymet through reference to market share price data, adjusted for transaction specific factors,
which is classified as a Level 3 measurement within the fair value measurement hierarchy (Note 15).
We recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $191 million ($142 million
post-tax) in other operating income (expense) upon closing of this transaction (Note 6).
The following table shows our revenue disaggregated by major product type
and by business unit. Our business units are reported based on the primary products that they produce and are consistent with our reportable
segments (Note 12) that have revenue from contracts with customers. A business unit can have revenue from more than one commodity
as it can include an operation that produces more than one product. Intra-segment revenue is accounted for at current market prices as
if sales were made to arm’s-length parties and are eliminated on consolidation. As a result of the sale of our 21.3% interest in
Fort Hills and associated downstream assets, we no longer present the revenue related to Fort Hills previously reported for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2022 in the table below. Revenue related to Fort Hills is disclosed as part of Note 3, Discontinued
Operations.

The facility is guaranteed pre-completion on several basis by Teck and SMM/SC pro rata to the respective equity interests in the

QBSA’s assets, which consist primarily of QB2 project assets.
| c) | Carmen de Andacollo Short-Term Loans |
As at September 30, 2023, we had $140 million (US$104 million) of debt outstanding
in the form of fixed rate short-term bank loans with maturity of less than one year. The purpose of the loans is to fund short-term working
capital requirements at Carmen de Andacollo.
| d) | Antamina Loan Agreement |
During 2021, Antamina entered into a US$1.0 billion loan agreement which
is fully drawn as at September 30, 2023. Our 22.5% share of the principal value of the loan is US$225 million. Amounts outstanding under

| e) | Revolving Credit Facility |
We maintain a US$4.0 billion sustainability-linked revolving credit facility
maturing October 2026. 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 September 30, 2023, 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, which was 0.18 to 1.0 at September 30, 2023, to not exceed 0.60 to 1.0. 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 to support our future reclamation obligations. As at September 30, 2023, we had $2.7 billion of letters of credit
outstanding.
We also had $849 million in surety bonds outstanding at September 30, 2023,
to support current and future reclamation obligations.

Based on the primary products we produce and our development projects, we
have four reportable segments that we report to our Chief Executive Officer — copper, zinc, steelmaking coal and corporate. The
corporate segment includes all of our initiatives in other commodities, our corporate growth activities and groups that provide administrative,
technical, financial and other support to all of our business units. Other operating income (expenses) include 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 21.3% interest in Fort Hills and associated
downstream assets, we no longer present the energy segment related to Fort Hills previously reported for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2022 in the table below. The segmented information related to Fort Hills is disclosed as part of Note 3, Discontinued
Operations.

Teck Resources Limited
Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
We consider provisions for all of our outstanding and pending legal claims
to be adequate. The final outcome with respect to actions outstanding or pending as at September 30, 2023, or with respect to future claims,
cannot be predicted with certainty. Significant contingencies not disclosed elsewhere in the notes to our financial statements are as
follows:
Upper Columbia River Basin
Teck American Inc. (TAI) continues studies under the 2006 settlement agreement
with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to conduct a remedial investigation on the Upper Columbia River in Washington State.
The Lake Roosevelt litigation involving Teck Metals Limited (TML) in the
Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Washington continues. The case relates to historic discharges of slag and effluent
from TML’s Trail metallurgical facility to the Upper Columbia River. TML prevailed against the plaintiffs’ on citizen suit
claims, seeking injunctive relief, statutory penalties and attorney’s fees. In December 2012 on the basis of stipulated facts agreed
between TML and the plaintiffs, the Court found in favour of the plaintiffs in phase one of the case, issuing a declaratory judgment that
TML is liable under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) for the plaintiffs' response
costs, the amounts of which were determined in the second phase of the case. Additional response costs not yet claimed may be recoverable.
TML has largely exhausted its appeal rights in respect of that decision. As a consequence of a ruling of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals,
also in the second phase, liability associated with air emissions from the Trail facility is no longer part of the case under CERCLA.
Plaintiffs exhausted their appeal rights in respect of that decision. The third and final phase of the case pertains to the plaintiffs’
claims for natural resource damages. In March 2022, the State of Washington was granted leave to amend its complaint to seek alleged damages
under the Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA), the state law equivalent of CERCLA, premised on both air emissions and discharges to
the river. In April 2022, TML filed a motion to dismiss the MTCA claims. The Trial Court initially denied TML's motion to dismiss those
claims, but in the first quarter of 2023, following a TML motion for reconsideration, the Trial Court reversed itself and dismissed the
State’s MTCA claims. The State of Washington filed a further motion challenging parts of this decision and seeking clarification
of other parts and in June 2023, the Court denied the State's motion. The State has now exhausted its right of appeal.
In the second quarter of 2022, TML filed two early motions for summary judgment
in respect of the CERCLA natural resource damages claims, which were denied in the third quarter of 2022. Based on one of those rulings,
in the first quarter of 2023, TML subsequently filed a motion seeking a ruling that the CERCLA claims are not fully developed and they
should therefore be dismissed. The motion was denied but not decided on the merits, and TML sought reconsideration which was denied by
the Court in June 2023. TML filed a motion seeking certification for an interlocutory appeal to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals which
was denied.
The previously scheduled February 2024 trial with respect to natural resource
damages and assessment costs has been postponed and a new trial date has not yet been scheduled.
Until the studies contemplated by the EPA settlement agreement and additional
damage assessments are completed, it is not possible to estimate the extent and cost, if any, of any additional remediation or restoration
that may be required or to assess the extent of our potential liability for damages. The studies may conclude, on the basis of risk, cost,
technical feasibility or other grounds, that no remediation other than some residential soil removal should be undertaken. If other remediation
is required and damage to resources found, the cost of that remediation may be material.

13. | | CONTINGENCIES, continued |
Elk Valley Water Quality
On March 10, 2023, Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) notified
Teck Coal Limited (TCL) that it had commenced an investigation for alleged violations under s.36(3) of the Fisheries Act as a result of
alleged mine-impacted discharges into Dry Creek and the upper Fording River from the Line Creek Operations. TCL is cooperating with ECCC
in its investigation. We are not currently able to determine the outcome of the investigation, which could lead to charges, fines and
administrative penalties that could be material.
Elkview Business Interruption Claim
In the fourth quarter of 2022, we submitted a business interruption insurance
claim related to the structural failure of the Elkview plant feed conveyor belt. No amount was recognized in the consolidated financial
statements for the insurance claim as of December 31, 2022 as the claims process was in progress. We received an advance payment of insurance
proceeds of approximately $102 million in the first quarter of 2023 and the remainder of the insurance proceeds of $119 million in
the second and third quarter of 2023.
Due to ice conditions, the port serving our Red Dog mine is normally only
able to ship concentrates from July to October each year. As a result, zinc and lead concentrate sales volumes are generally higher in
the third and fourth quarter of each year than in the first and second quarter. Depending on commodity prices, this could result in Red
Dog’s profits and cash flows being higher in the last two quarters of the year as finished inventories are sold.
15. | | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
Certain of our financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value
on a recurring basis and classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Certain non-financial assets and liabilities may also be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. There are three levels of the
fair value hierarchy that prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, with Level 1 inputs having the highest
priority. The levels and the valuation techniques used to value our financial assets and liabilities are described below:
Level 1 – Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets
Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible
at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Certain cash equivalents, certain marketable equity securities and certain
debt securities are valued using quoted market prices in active markets. Accordingly, these items are included in Level 1 of the fair
value hierarchy.
Level 2 – Significant Observable Inputs Other than Quoted Prices
80 | Teck Resources Limited 2023 Third Quarter News Release |
Teck Resources Limited
Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
15. | | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS, continued |
Level 2 inputs are quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted
prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially
the full term of the asset or liability.
Derivative instruments and embedded derivatives are included in Level 2
of the fair value hierarchy, as they are valued using pricing models or discounted cash flow models. These models require a variety of
inputs, including, but not limited to, market prices, forward price curves, yield curves and credit spreads. These inputs are obtained
from or corroborated with the market. Also included in Level 2 are settlement receivables and settlement payables from provisional pricing
on concentrate sales and purchases, certain refined metal sales and steelmaking coal sales because they are valued using quoted market
prices derived based on forward curves for the respective commodities and published price assessments for steelmaking coal sales.
Level 3 – Significant Unobservable Inputs
Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
We include investments in certain equity securities in non-public companies
in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because they trade infrequently and have little price transparency.
The fair values of our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair
value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, are summarized in the following table:

Concentration of Credit Risk
Cash and cash equivalents are held with high quality financial institutions.
Substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents held with financial institutions exceeds government-insured limits. We have established
credit policies that seek to minimize our credit risk by entering into transactions with investment grade credit worthy and reputable
financial institutions and by monitoring the credit standing of the financial institutions with whom we transact. We seek to limit the
amount of exposure with any one counterparty.

During the third quarter, the new two-tiered Chilean mining royalty regime
on copper revenues and profit was enacted into law. As a result, we recognized a deferred tax expense of $106 million, which represents
our estimated additional future mining royalties following the expiration of the tax stability agreements for Carmen de Andacollo and
Quebrada Blanca in 2027 and 2037, respectively. This expense was calculated based on the existing taxable temporary differences that are
scheduled to reverse in future years.
QBSA entered into a contract with Transelec S.A. to lease an electrical
power transmission system to connect the QB2 project with the Chilean national power grid. Subsequent to the quarter, the Chilean National
Electric Coordinator issued the certificate that approves the entry into operation for the transmission system, leading to the commencement
date of the lease. The lease requires QB to pay approximately US$22 million per year, escalating by 2.2% annually. On initial recognition
of the lease, we will record a lease liability of approximately US$324 million, with a corresponding right-of-use asset.

Teck Provides Update on QBME Regulatory Application
Vancouver, B.C. – Teck Resources Limited (TSX: TECK.A
and TECK.B, NYSE: TECK) (“Teck”) noted that today, following recent receipt of feedback from regulators, it has withdrawn
the environmental permit application for the Quebrada Blanca Mill Expansion (“QBME”) project to allow time to consider this
feedback, better understand the full capability of QB, and submit a revised permit application.
This is part of the ongoing regulatory process, and withdrawing now will
allow time to incorporate regulatory feedback and to further optimize the scope of the project. Submission of a revised application
would add approximately 12 months to the overall regulatory process from the date of submission. Teck does not anticipate a sanction decision
on QBME prior to completion of ramp up and assessment of the full capability of the existing QB asset and receipt of regulatory approval.
The QBME project is a proposed future expansion which would increase QB’s
throughput, leveraging existing tailings and other infrastructure with minimal additional footprint.
