Cautionary Statement on Forward–Looking Statements 

Our Website and the materials posted on it may contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and forward-looking information within the meaning of the applicable securities laws.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Teck to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include estimates, forecasts, and statements as to management’s expectations with respect to, among other things, business and financial prospects; our expectations with respect current operations and projects; our expectations with respect to our tailings facilities; Teck’s potential future projects, operations and partnerships; our ability to maintain our current operations and project partnerships; our expectations with respect to the merger of equals with Anglo American plc; the potential merger benefits to Teck, including the EBITDA uplifts and synergies; the size and quality of Teck’s operations and development projects; mineral reserves and mineral resources; future trends, plans, strategies, objectives and expectations, including with respect to future operations, products, services, mine life extensions, and projects; progress in development of mineral properties; our expectations with respect to our sustainability, biodiversity, water and community goals; our expectations with respect to our current and future guidance; our ability to declare dividends; future production, capital and mine production costs, demand and market outlook for commodities, future commodity prices and treatment and refining charges, and the financial results, cash flows and operations of Teck.

You should not place undue reliance on these statements. These statements are based on a number of assumptions, including, but not limited to, assumptions regarding general business and economic conditions; our ability to execute our strategy; interest rates; the supply and demand for, deliveries of, and the level and volatility of prices of the commodities Teck produces as well as oil, natural gas and petroleum products consumed by Teck; the timing of the receipt of regulatory and governmental approvals for Teck’s development projects and other operations; the availability of financing for Teck’s development projects on reasonable terms; the accuracy of the market data sources; the accuracy of the websites of our partners linked on the Teck website; the accuracy of the disclosure provided by our partners; Teck’s costs of production and production and productivity levels, as well as those of its competitors; power prices; market competition; the accuracy of Teck’s mineral reserve and resources estimates (including with respect to size, grade and recoverability) and the geological, operational and price assumptions on which these are based; conditions in financial markets; and the future financial performance of Teck. The foregoing list of assumptions is not exhaustive. Events or circumstances could cause actual results to differ materially. 

Factors that may cause actual results to vary include, but are not limited to: business and economic conditions in the principal markets for Teck’s products; the supply, demand, and prices for the commodities Teck produces; changes in commodity and power prices; changes in interest and currency exchange rates; inaccurate geological and metallurgical assumptions (including with respect to the size, grade and recoverability of mineral reserves and resources); unanticipated operational difficulties (including failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate in accordance with specifications or expectations, cost escalation, unavailability of materials and equipment, government action or delays in the receipt of government approvals, changes in applicable laws and regulations, industrial disturbances or other job action, and unanticipated events related to health, safety and environmental matters), political risk; social unrest; accuracy of historical facts and data; changes in general economic conditions or conditions in the financial markets; changes in information available to Teck; changes in market data; market reaction; the imposition of tariffs or other trade barriers; technological developments; and other risk factors related to the mining and metals industry as detailed from time to time in Teck’s reports filed with Canadian securities regulators and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). 

Specific materials on our Website containing forward-looking statements or information may contain more specific cautions regarding risks and uncertainties, which you should review.

Certain of these risks are described in more detail in the annual information form of Teck and in other public filings on SEDAR+ and with the SEC.

FOR USERS LOCATED IN THE UNTED STATES OF AMERICA - DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION; MASS ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER

THE FOLLOWING TERMS TO WHICH YOU ARE CONSENTING CONSIST OF A PRE-DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS, BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION, MASS ARBITRATION PROVISION, AND A CLASS-ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER.

YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE A DISPUTE IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY.

Opt-Out Procedure 

You may elect to opt-out (exclude yourself) from the final, binding arbitration procedure, mass arbitration procedure, and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in this Agreement by sending a written letter to us at Teck American Incorporated,  Attn: Legal, Teck American Incorporated, 501 N.

Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution

You and Teck American Incorporated or Released Parties agree that whenever you or we have a disagreement (“Dispute”) with the other arising out of, connected to, or in any way related to the Website that is subject to the arbitration provision herein, you and Teck American Incorporated or Released Parties will first send a written notice to the other party (a “Demand”). You and Teck American Incorporated agree that the requirements of this Dispute Resolution section will apply even to disagreements that may have arisen before you accepted these terms and conditions. You must send the Demand to the Notice Address. Teck American Incorporated or Released Parties must send the Demand to you via certified mail to the most recent address Teck American Incorporated has on file for you (or by email if Teck American Incorporated only has an email address for you on file). A Demand (1) shall seek to resolve a Dispute only on an individual basis; (2) shall state the full basis for the Dispute (including the details about the Dispute sufficient for the recipient to review and respond) and the date that the Dispute arose; (3) shall provide the individual claimant’s full name, phone number, and email address to confirm their identity and to aid communication; and (4) shall be personally signed by the individual claimant or for Teck American Incorporated or Released Parties or by its authorized representative (and not only their counsel).

You and Teck American Incorporated agree that you and Teck American Incorporated will not take any legal action, including filing a lawsuit or demanding arbitration, until after the period to request a conference expires or, if a conference is requested, twenty (20) business days after the individualized conference is completed.

This procedure is essential to providing each of us a meaningful opportunity to resolve Disputes informally.

Arbitration Procedure

If the Dispute stated in the Demand is not resolved to your or Teck American Incorporated’s or Released Parties’ satisfaction within ten (10) business days after the conference described above (or within ten (10) business days after the time when such a conference may be requested if no conference has been requested), and you intend on taking legal action, you agree that the claimant will file a demand for arbitration with JAMS. The arbitration will be conducted under JAMS’s Comprehensive Rules & Procedures, including the JAMS's Consumer Rules (as applicable), as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate. The JAMS’s rules and a form for initiating arbitration proceedings are available on the JAMS’s website at: https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, provincial, territorial or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these terms and conditions, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these terms and conditions is void or voidable, except that a court of competent jurisdiction may enjoin the filing or prosecution of an arbitration if the Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution requirements set forth above have not been met.

The arbitration shall be held in the county in which you reside or at another mutually agreed location or by video at the election of either party. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, any party may elect to have the arbitration based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on the other party subject to the arbitrator's discretion to require an in-person or video hearing if the circumstances warrant. The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. 

The arbitrator’s award shall be confidential, final, and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by JAMS’s rules.

Class Action Waiver 

You and Teck American Incorporated agree that each of us may bring claims against the other or Released Parties only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding. Unless both you and Teck American Incorporated agree otherwise or the Mass Arbitration provisions set forth below are triggered, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one person’s or party's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, or class proceeding. Also, the arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party's individual claim(s). Any relief awarded cannot affect any other person or party. You and Teck American Incorporated further agree that in the event this arbitration agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason, the prohibitions on class and representative actions and non-individualized relief set forth in this paragraph are severable and shall apply to any claim between you and Teck American Incorporated or Released Parties in any forum. YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO COMMENCE OR PARTICIPATE IN CLASS AND REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS.

Mass Arbitration

If, at any time, 25 or more claimants (including you) submit Demands or seek to file demands for arbitration raising similar claims against Teck American Incorporated or Released Parties, and such circumstances meet the definition and criteria of Mass Filings (“Mass Filing”) set forth in National Arbitration & Mediation’s (“NAM”) Mass Filing Supplemental Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures (“NAM’s Mass Filing Rules”) available at https://www.namadr.com/resources/rules-fees-forms/), you and Teck American Incorporated agree that JAMS shall not serve as arbitrator and that instead NAM shall administer any Mass Filing claims and the NAM Mass Filing Rules in effect at the time such claim is filed shall apply as modified below. The parties agree to the appointment of a Procedural Arbitrator pursuant to NAM’s Mass Filing Rules, and additionally agree that the Procedural Arbitrator will have the authority to determine jurisdiction and arbitrability including, but not limited to, any issue regarding the validity, existence, formation or scope of the agreement under which Arbitration is being sought, and the proper parties to the Arbitration. You agree that throughout this process, the parties’ counsels shall meet and confer to discuss modifications to these procedures based on the particular needs of the Mass Filing. You acknowledge and agree that your election to participate in a Mass Filing may result in a delay in the adjudication of your dispute with Teck American Incorporated or Released Parties.  Any applicable limitations periods and filing fee deadlines will be tolled while the parties engage in the process set forth below.

Stage One: Counsel for the claimants and counsel for Teck American Incorporated or Released Parties shall each select 15 claims per side (30 claims total) to be filed and to proceed in individual arbitrations as part of a staged process. Each of these individual arbitrations shall be assigned to a different, single arbitrator unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. Any remaining claims shall not be filed or be deemed filed in arbitration, nor shall any arbitration fees be assessed in connection with those claims unless and until they are selected to be filed in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. After this initial set of staged proceedings is completed, the parties shall promptly engage in a global mediation session of all remaining claims with a retired federal or state court judge and Teck American Incorporated will pay the mediator’s fee.

Stage Two: If the remaining claims are not resolved at this time, counsel for the claimants and counsel for Teck American Incorporated or Released Parties shall each select 20 claims per side (40 claims total) to be filed and to proceed in individual arbitrations as part of a second staged process, subject to any procedural changes the parties agreed to in writing. Each of these individual arbitrations shall be assigned to a different, single arbitrator unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. Any remaining claims shall not be filed or be deemed filed in arbitration, nor shall any arbitration fees be assessed in connection with those claims unless and until they are selected to be filed in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. After this second set of staged proceedings is completed, the parties shall promptly engage in a global mediation session of all remaining claims with a retired federal or state court judge and Teck American Incorporated will pay the mediator’s fee.

If your claim is not resolved as part of the staged process identified above, either:

Option One: You and we may separately or by agreement, opt out of arbitration and elect to have your claim heard in court consistent with these terms and conditions. You may opt out of arbitration by sending us your individual, personally signed notice of your intention to opt out by certified mail addressed to the Notice Address. Such an opt-out notice must include a statement, personally signed by you, that you wish to opt out of arbitration within 30 days after the conclusion of Stage Two or the elective mediation associated with Stage Two. We may opt your claim out of arbitration by sending an individual, personally signed notice of our intention to opt out to your counsel within 14 days after the expiration of your 30-day opt out period. Counsels for the parties may agree to adjust these deadlines.

OR

Option Two: If neither you nor we elect to have your claim heard in court consistent with Option One, then you agree that your claim will be resolved as part of continuing, staged individual arbitration proceedings as set forth below. Assuming the number of remaining claims exceeds 100, then 100 claims shall be randomly selected (or selected through a process agreed to by counsels for the parties) to be filed and to proceed in individual arbitrations as part of a staged process. If the number of remaining claims is fewer than 100, then all of those claims will be filed and proceed in individual arbitrations. Any remaining claims will not be filed or be deemed filed in arbitration, nor will any arbitration fees be assessed in connection with those claims unless and until they are selected to be filed in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. After each set of 100 claims are adjudicated, settled, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved, this process shall repeat consistent with these parameters. Counsels for the parties are encouraged to meet and confer, participate in mediation, and engage with each other and with NAM (including through a Procedural Arbitrator, as such term is used in the NAM Rules) to explore ways to streamline the adjudication of claims, increase the number of claims to proceed at any given time, promote efficiencies, conserve resources, and resolve the remaining claims.

You and Teck American Incorporated agree that each party values the integrity and efficiency of arbitration and wishes to employ the process for the fair resolution of genuine and sincere disputes between the parties. You and Teck American Incorporated acknowledge and agree to act in good faith to ensure the processes set forth herein are followed. The parties further agree that application of these Mass Filing procedures have been reasonably designed to result in an efficient and fair adjudication of such cases. If any part of this Mass Arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the NAM rules, then the balance of this Mass Arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision was not contained herein unless the lack of such provision would lead this Mass Arbitration provision to fail of its essential purpose.

A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enforce these Mass Filing provisions and, if necessary, to enjoin the mass filing, prosecution, or administration of arbitrations and the assessment of arbitration fees. If these additional procedures apply to your claim, and a court of competent jurisdiction determines that they are not enforceable as to your claim, then your claim will proceed before JAMS pursuant to the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines (available at https://www.jamsadr.com/mass-arbitration-procedures). If a court of competent jurisdiction also determines that the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines are not enforceable as to your Claim, then the remaining Claims shall be subject to Option One or Option Two above as selected by you or us.
