CALGARY, ALBERTA (NYSE: FDG) and Teck Cominco Limited (TSX:
TCK.A) (TSX: TCK.B) (NYSE: TCK) are pleased to announce that Elk
Valley Coal's Fording River Operations will be awarded the 2007
Mining and Sustainability Award at a ceremony in Cranbrook, B.C. on
February 28, 2008. The award is presented annually by the Mining
Association of British Columbia and the Ministry of Energy, Mines
and Petroleum Resources to publicly recognize companies,
communities, First Nations, non-governmental organizations,
government agencies and individuals committed to advancing and
promoting sustainable development in the B.C. mining and minerals
sector.
"Congratulations to the employees at the Fording River
Operations for this outstanding achievement," said Boyd Payne,
President, Elk Valley Coal and Fording Canadian Coal Trust.
"Sustainable development is an integral part of the way we do
business and we are proud to be recognized for those efforts."
The Fording River mine has been operating since 1970 and is
recognized as a world leader in reclamation; however, sustainable
development for Fording River is not limited to reclamation. It is
also committed to high standards of safety and community
involvement. Last September, Fording River's mine rescue team
placed first in the Surface Mine Rescue category in the 2007 North
West Regional Rescue Competitions. As well, Fording River makes
significant contributions to the community through its scholarship,
donation, and education outreach programs and its participation in
community events. In addition, Fording River, along with Elk Valley
Coal's other operations, is currently working with the Ktunaxa
Nation Council to find ways to foster a healthy, long-term
relationship with the Council and its members.
"We are very proud to be the recipient of the 2007 Mining and
Sustainability Award," said Richard Tremblay, General Manager at
the Fording River Operations. "This award and the awards we have
received for our mine rescue and first aid teams are a reflection
of Elk Valley Coal's ongoing commitment to being a great employer
and responsible member of the communities in which we operate."
