EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Xxxxxxxxx Shareholder Communications Canada, Inc. (“Xxxxxxxxx”) proposes to provide Information Agent services to Teck Cominco Limited (“Teck Cominco”) with respect to the proposed offer (the “Offer”) to acquire the outstanding shares of Aur Resources Ltd. (“Aur Resources”). Xxxxxxxxx and our U.S. affiliate Xxxxxxxxx Shareholder Communications Inc. (“GSC”), with over 500 dedicated proxy professionals globally are the world leaders in the field of Information Agent and Proxy Solicitation services and have served the requirements of thousands of Issuer firms over the past 70 years. The Information Agent program detailed in this proposal provides Teck Cominco with the most comprehensive and very best service available.

To assist your understanding of the unique program we offer, we have set forth the following description of the process and services that we undertake to provide as Information Agent (the “Program”):

• Teck Cominco will have priority usage of key resources of Xxxxxxxxx and GSC during the period of the Offer. Xxxxxxxxx will work closely with Xxxx Xxxxxxx’s senior management team and its legal and financial advisors, to assist with formulation of strategy, provide precedents, etc. This is a complete program that covers all segments of Aur Resources’ shareholder base including Canada, the United States and other foreign jurisdictions.

• Xxxxxxxxx will prepare a script approved by Xxxx Xxxxxxx and their external counsel for use when contacting investors and in responding to investor inquires. The script will be limited to the information contained in the Offering material and will include responses to investors’ anticipated questions.

• Aur Resources shareholders will be provided with a toll-free information service that enables Xxxxxxxxx to answer shareholder questions, provide management with feedback about shareholder sentiment, and promote the Teck Cominco strategy/position. Our North American solicitation Contact Centre, is a scaleable bilingual facility ready to handle small and large campaigns in tight timeframes.

• Xxxxxxxxx will prepare a one-time institutional investor snapshot. Utilizing our proprietary database and our excellent relationships with institutional investors, arbitrageurs, and custodial banks and brokers, our report will provide Teck Cominco’s management and board of directors with specific institutional investor contacts and ownership levels. This information is vital when drilling down beneath the basic CDS and Cede & Co. participant lists.

• Xxxxxxxxx will distribute copies of all shareholder communications directly to a decision maker at major money manager firms.

• Xxxxxxxxx will verify that material requests were made from CDS and Cede & Co. participants and other nominees. We will check material quantity ordered against size of holding for reasonability and we will follow-up with intermediaries as required where responses are not received. Xxxxxxxxx will confirm with ADP and other intermediaries to ensure that the mailing of material to the beneficial investors was completed on a timely basis.

• Xxxxxxxxx will work closely with Xxxx Xxxxxxx’s Senior Management group in deciding the most appropriate solicitation approach for each major Aur Resources institutional investor. Xxxxxxxxx will also share its knowledge of previous voting and tender patterns of the various institutions in other programs.

• Xxxxxxxxx will undertake to obtain a Non Objecting Beneficial Owner (“NOBO”) list from the participants within CDS. Upon analysis of the list Xxxxxxxxx will contact NOBO shareholders that meet or exceed an agreed upon ownership threshold.

ADDITIONAL PROGRAM DETAILS

• Investor comments that require a response from Teck Cominco or that provide insight into investor views will be forwarded immediately to the designated Teck Cominco internal contact. Teck Cominco will be provided with a continuous assessment of investors’ views and feelings, as the volume and nature of calls is documented. Furthermore, all shareholder telephone calls are recorded to provide a greater level of security to Teck Cominco and Xxxxxxxxx. All recorded shareholder calls can be retrieved and the content can be emailed to Teck Cominco for review and response.

• Xxxxxxxxx will actively communicate with Arbitrageurs holding share positions in Aur Resources. Xxxxxxxxx has the largest data base of “Arbs” globally, with over 100 active North American “Arbs” and over 20 that specialize solely in each of the UK/European and Asian markets.  Because Xxxxxxxxx is involved in more merger & acquisition transactions and hostile fights for control, we maintain constant contact with this specialized community.

• Xxxxxxxxx will perform an analysis of the shareholder base e.g. by share range, geographically, ID, etc. This analysis can then be utilized in investor communication efforts.

• In carrying out the solicitation, Xxxxxxxxx will ensure that all matters pertaining to the affairs of Teck Cominco will be treated with the highest degree of security and confidentiality.

• Xxxxxxxxx will provide Teck Cominco with a final detailed written report upon conclusion of the Offer. The report will summarize all activities undertaken, results achieved and any pertinent information gained on beneficial ownership.

Xxxxxxxxx will be entitled to rely on the written instructions of Xxxx Xxxxxxx, or its designated agent, with respect to the acceptance of this proposal and all instructions with respect to the ongoing performance of its responsibilities as Information Agent.  Xxxxxxxxx will rely on Teck Cominco  to ensure the co-operation of other parties involved, such as the transfer agent for Aur Resources, CDS, etc., and to provide, free of charge, such lists, reports, etc. as Xxxxxxxxx may require during the Offer.
