Slide 8: Meaningful Capital Spending Decrease Expected in 2024
1. As at February 21, 2024. See Teck's Q4 2023 press release for further details.
2. Based on the mid-point of guidance.
3. Copper sustaining capital includes Quebrada Blanca operations. Steelmaking coal sustaining capital in 2023 includes $94
million of water treatment capital. 2024 guidance includes $150 to $250 million of water treatment capital.
4. Copper growth capital guidance excludes QB2 development capital and QB2 ramp up capital. It includes feasibility studies,
advancing detailed engineering work, project execution planning, and progressing permitting at the HVC mine life extension
project, San Nicolás and Zafranal. In addition, we will work to define the most capital efficient and value-adding pathway for the
expansion of QB based on the performance of the existing asset base. We also expect to continue to progress our medium to
long-term portfolio options with prudent investments to advance the path to value including for NewRange Galore Creek, Schaft
Creek and NuevaUnión.
Slide 11: Strong Balance Sheet and Shareholder Returns
1. As at February 21, 2024. See Teck's Q4 2023 press release for further details.

Slide 18: Unrivalled Copper Growth Opportunities
1. Calculated using asset's first five full years average annual copper equivalent production. Percentages in the chart are the
production level shown on a reporting basis, with consolidated (100%) production shown for QB Operations, QB Asset
Expansion, Zafranal and Schaft Creek, and attributable production shown for North Met, San Nicolás, Galore Creek,
NuevaUnión and Mesaba. QB steady state operations CuEq production uses 2027 production guidance as-at January 15, 2024.
Forward looking CuEq calculations use US$3.60/lb Cu, US$1.20/lb Zn, US$11.00/lb Mo, US$7.80/lb Ni, US$23.80/lb Co,
US$1,550/oz Au, US$20.00/oz Ag, US$1,100/oz Pt and US$1,320/oz Pd. 2022 actual CuEq uses average prices from the year
US$4.03/lb Cu, US$1.54/lb Zn, US$19.06/lb Mo, US$1,801/oz Au, US$21.76/oz Ag. 2022 actual includes Antamina, Andacollo,
Highland Valley, and Quebrada Blanca. Excludes Highland Valley Copper and Antamina mine life extensions.
Slide 19: Copper Guidance
1. As at February 21, 2024. See Teck's Q4 2023 press release for further details.
2. We include 100% of production from our Quebrada Blanca and Carmen de Andacollo mines in our production volumes, even
though we do not own 100% of these operations, because we fully consolidate their results in our financial statements. We
include 22.5% of production from Antamina, representing our proportionate ownership interest. Copper production includes
cathode production at Quebrada Blanca and a minimal amount at Carmen de Andacollo. Includes copper cathode production in
2023. Quebrada Blanca is not expected to include cathode operations from 2024 onwards, as this operation is expected to stop
producing.
3. Copper unit costs are reported in U.S. dollars per payable pound of metal contained in concentrate. Copper net cash unit costs
include adjusted cash cost of sales and smelter processing charges, less cash margins for by-products including co-products.
2022 and 2023 exclude QB. Guidance for 2024 includes QB and assumes a zinc price of US$1.20 per pound, a molybdenum
price of US$21 per pound, a silver price of US$23 per ounce, a gold price of US$1,930 per ounce and a Canadian/U.S. dollar
exchange rate of $1.32 and a Chilean Peso/U.S. dollar exchange rate of 850. Cash margins for by-products are non-GAAP
financial measures. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" slides.
4. Copper growth capital guidance excludes QB2 development capital and QB2 ramp up capital. It includes feasibility studies,
advancing detailed engineering work, project execution planning, and progressing permitting at the HVC mine life extension
project, San Nicolás and Zafranal. In addition, we will work to define the most capital efficient and value-adding pathway for the
expansion of QB based on the performance of the existing asset base. We also expect to continue to progress our medium to
long-term portfolio options with prudent investments to advance the path to value including for NewRange Galore Creek, Schaft
Creek and Nueva Unión.
5. Copper sustaining capital includes Quebrada Blanca operations.
Slide 20: Zinc Guidance
