3 History: From Discovery to Consolidation Discovery by Teck Optioned to AQM Teck/AQM form JV Mitsubishi Materials Joins partnership Teck acquires AQM 2004: Discovered by Teck Resources Limited (Teck) as a part of a generative exploration program in the southwest Peru Porphyry Copper Belt 2009: Option Agreement between Teck and AQM Copper establishes AQM as the exploration operator 2010: Option Agreement amended whereby Teck and AQM formed a 50/50 JV in Compañia Minera Zafranal () a Peruvian company established for the project 2013: Mitsubishi Materials invested US$22.6 M and committed to spend an additional US$15 M to acquire a 20% interest in the project from AQM Copper 2004 Discovery Drilling 2017: Teck acquires AQM increasing their interest in the project to 80%

4 Zafranal Project: Regional Location

5 Zafranal Project: Work History Resource drilling, metallurgy and initial engineering studies First mineral resource report prepared in compliance with Form F1 and NI issued December, 2010 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) report prepared in compliance with Form F1 and NI issued January, Prefeasibility Studies, geotechnical, hydrology, reserve definition drilling, engineering, and metallurgy Environmental baseline and water exploration Prefeasibility Study (PFS) report prepared in compliance with Form F1 and NI issued June, Preparing budgets and plan for owner s approval of feasibility study program leading to preparation of EIAd and submission in 2018

8 Hydrology has undertaken hydrology studies in support of an EIA and to identify possible water sources for the project A brackish groundwater resource has been identified that has the potential to supply the mine for its operational life Located approximately 35km south of Zafranal this groundwater resource has built up as a result of decades of irrigation in the Majes I farming areas The groundwater is brackish (salty) and unsuitable for irrigation, human or animal consumption, however it is suitable for industrial use at mine site Pumping water from this brackish groundwater resource is not expected to have an adverse impact on surface activities within the irrigation district Site Hydrology and Water Sources M T B 10x 3B m 3 The estimated volume of stored brackish groundwater is approximately 3 billion m 3, which is at least ten times greater than the total life of mine water requirement volume M Mine T Tailings Storage Facility B Brackish groundwater resource

9 Prefeasibility Study Completed Open pit mine and concentrator to process a variable throughput of 55 to 64 kt/d of copper ore Annual production profile of 120,000 tonnes per year of copper over the first five year period Average production of 75,000 tonnes of copper per year over the 19 year life of operations Clean ore and concentrate: no deleterious elements and all impurities are below smelter penalty thresholds Zafranal has ~4B lbs of copper and ~1.1 Moz of gold contained in measured and indicated resources 87% of measured and indicated mineral resources have been converted to proven and probable mineral reserves Access to low-cost power and potential for nearby water supply Large 47,252 ha prospective mineral concessions located distant from agricultural areas and local communities Project Highlights (100% basis) 1 $496M After-Tax NPV 8% $1.16B Initial CapEx $1.59/lb C1 Cash Costs over Life of Mine 3.5 Blbs Cu P&P Reserves 15.9% After-Tax IRR 4 Year Payback Period 0.40% Avg.
