Keevil Chairman of the Board To the Shareholders It was a very good year for your company. The improvement in prices for most mined products that began in 2016, and led to record fourth quarter profits a year ago, continued through 2017. Revenues were at a record $12 billion and earnings of $2.5 billion were the second highest in Teck’s history. We were able to reduce debt by a further $2 billion and ended the year with $4.7 billion in liquidity. Encouragingly, the strong year was the result of broadly-spread synchronous economic growth in much of the world, with China still growing substantially but no longer being the sole driver as had been the case for much of the last decade. The prognosis in the near term continues to be good. Teck produces steelmaking coal from six mines in Western Canada, copper from four mines in Canada, Peru and Chile and zinc from two mines in the US, as well as operating zinc and lead metallurgical plants at Trail, British Columbia.

Suncor, as operator of the Fort Hills Energy Limited Partnership, has confirmed that during 2017, the mine, primary extraction, utilities and froth assets were commissioned. More than 80% of the Fort Hills plant is now operational and has safely run at full capacity through the test runs over the past four months. All three secondary extraction trains are mechanically complete with the first train in its final commissioning stage. First oil is expected in mid-January. The second and third trains are currently being insulated and expected to start up in the first half of 2018, as planned. Fort Hills remains on track to reach 90% capacity by the end of 2018. The Fort Hills partners have resolved a previously announced commercial dispute. Suncor and Teck have each acquired an additional working interest in the Fort Hills project from Total E&P Canada (Total). Suncor’s share of the project has increased from 50.8% to 53.06% and Teck’s share has increased from 20% to 20.89%. Total’s share has decreased from 29.2% to 26.05%. Suncor and Teck have funded an increased share of the project capital, in the amounts of approximately $300M and $120M respectively, commensurate with the additional working interests, which may be further adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Fort Hills partnership agreement, as amended, based on the parties’ respective contributions to project costs.
