Re:  Teck Cominco Limited                                     
Application for Withdrawal of Registration          
Statement on Form F-10, File No. 333-136641         

Ladies and Gentlemen:                                                           

            Pursuant  to Rule 477  under  the  Securities  Act of  1933,  as
amended (the "Securities Act"), Teck Cominco Limited, a corporation  organized  
under the laws of Canada (the "Company"),  hereby  respectfully  requests that  
its Registration  Statement on Form F-10, originally filed on August 15, 2006,  
File No.  333-136641,  together with all exhibits thereto  (collectively,  the  
"Registration Statement"),  be withdrawn, with such withdrawal to be effective  
as of the date hereof or as soon as practicable hereafter, on the grounds that  
such  withdrawal is consistent  with the public interest and the protection of  
investors as contemplated by paragraph (a) of Rule 477.                         

            The  Registration   Statement  was  originally  filed  with  the
Commission  in  connection  with a proposed  public  offering of the Company's  
Class B  Subordinate  Voting  Shares (its  "Shares")  in  connection  with its  
proposed offering for the outstanding common shares of Inco Limited (the "Inco  
Offer").  The Company  requests that the  Registration  Statement be withdrawn  
because the Company was unable to consummate the Inco Offer and has determined  
not to proceed  with its  public  offering  of its  Shares at this  time.  The  
Registration  statement has not been declared  effective by the Commission and  
no Shares have been or will be sold pursuant to the Registration Statement.     

            The  Company  respectfully  requests,  in  accordance  with Rule
457(p)  under the  Securities  Act,  that all fees paid to the  Commission  in  
connection  with the filing of the  Registration  Statement be credited to the  
account of the Company as an offset of all or a portion of the fee due for any  
subsequent filing by the Company.

            Please forward  copies of the order  consenting to withdrawal of
the  Registration  Statement  to the  undersigned  at Suite 600,  200  Burrard  
Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 3L9.                           

            If you have any questions  regarding  the foregoing  application
for withdrawal,  please call Edwin S. Maynard of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton  
& Garrison LLP, counsel to the Registrant, at (212) 373-3024.                   

                         Very truly yours,
