VANCOUVER - TECK COMINCO has been chosen to supply the gold, silver and bronze for the Olympic medals awarded at the 2010 Winter Games. The six-year deal also creates a partnership between Teck Cominco and the Vancouver Organizing Committee involving sponsorship for the 2010 Winter Games as well as those in Beijing in 2008 and London in 2012. The ROYAL CANADIAN MINT in Ottawa will also be involved in the design and production of the Olympic medals.

"Teck Cominco is thrilled to become part of Canada's Games, and to help welcome the world to Canada and British Columbia in 2010," said Teck Cominco president and CEO Don Lindsay. "The Olympic and Paralympic medals inspire people everywhere to realize their full potential, in whatever they do. We are proud to supply the gold, silver and bronze for the medals that are the source of so much inspiration for the world. This is a great opportunity for all of us at Teck Cominco to get involved in a once-in-a-lifetime event, and to make a real difference in our own lives and in the lives of others."
