VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - May 9, 2011) - Teck Resources Limited (TSX: TCK.A and TCK.B, NYSE: TCK) announced today that employees at its Fording River operation in southeastern British Columbia have ratified a new five-year agreement, replacing an agreement which expired on April 30, 2011.

"Our discussions with the union were very productive and we are pleased to have reached a new five-year collective agreement at our Fording River operation," said Bill Fleming, Vice President, Operations and Engineering.

As a result of new collective agreements at its Elkview and Fording River operations, Teck expects to incur a one-time charge in the second quarter of approximately $40 million, of which about one-half will be a non-cash accrual related to enhancements to pension and post-retirement benefits.
