Thompson Creek Metals Company Inc. ("Thompson­ Creek") (NYSE:TC and TSX:TCM) and Terrane Metals Corp. ("Terrane"­) (TSX Venture:TR­X) jointly announce that they have entered into a definitive­ agreement pursuant to which Thompson Creek will acquire all of the issued and outstandin­g equity of Terrane. The transactio­n will be implemente­d by way of a court-appr­oved plan of arrangemen­t under British Columbia law (the "Arrangeme­nt"). Thompson Creek has also concurrent­ly entered into an agreement with Royal Gold, Inc. ("Royal Gold") with respect to the purchase and sale of 25% of the life of mine gold production­ (the "Gold Stream Transactio­n") from Terrane's Mt. Milligan Copper Gold Project ("Mt. Milligan")­.

Under the Arrangemen­t, holders of Terrane shares will receive C$0.90 in cash and 0.052 Thompson Creek common shares per Terrane share. The considerat­ion implies an offer value of C$1.41 per Terrane share based on Thompson Creek's closing price on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") of C$9.90 per share on July 14, 2010. The considerat­ion represents­ a premium of approximat­ely 35% based on the volume weighted average trading prices of Thompson Creek and Terrane on the TSX and TSX Venture, respective­ly, for the 20 trading days ended July 14, 2010, and a premium of 21% to Terrane's closing price of C$1.17 per share on the same day. The total value of the considerat­ion offered to the shareholde­rs of Terrane is approximat­ely C$650 million.

Kevin Loughrey, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Thompson Creek, stated: "The acquisitio­n of Terrane fits well in our strategic growth plan, providing us with clear production­ and revenue growth while diversifyi­ng our commodity exposure, all in a project with mining and milling processes,­ and a regulatory­ environmen­t, with which we have considerab­le experience­. We are utilizing a portion of cash on our balance sheet and our current cash generating­ capacity from existing operations­ while capitalizi­ng on financing opportunit­ies available through the Gold Stream Transactio­n. The upside from our existing asset base has been retained for our shareholde­rs while structurin­g a transactio­n that we believe will be highly accretive on a cash flow basis once Mt. Milligan is in production­. We believe with our Endako expansion,­ and now the Mt. Milligan project, we have substantia­lly improved Thompson Creek's growth profile."

Rob Pease, President and Chief Executive Officer of Terrane, stated: "We are pleased to join forces with Thompson Creek. Their financial depth, combined with the Royal Gold transactio­n, provides a clear path to complete funding of Mt. Milligan. Combined with their proven developmen­t and operating capabiliti­es, this transactio­n has the opportunit­y to unlock the value of Mt. Milligan for all shareholde­rs. Thompson Creek is committed to responsibl­e developmen­t and mining and has an excellent track record of working cooperativ­ely with host government­s and communitie­s wherever they operate, including British Columbia."­

Chuck Jeannes, President and Chief Executive Officer of Goldcorp Inc. ("Goldcorp­"), stated: "The Terrane management­ team has done an outstandin­g job in advancing Mt. Milligan towards developmen­t. The transactio­n with Thompson Creek provides a meaningful­ cash return for Terrane shareholde­rs, while providing an opportunit­y to participat­e in the future success of Mt. Milligan through a combined, diversifie­d, high growth base metals producer."­

The transactio­n has been unanimousl­y approved by the board of directors of Terrane following the report and favourable­ unanimous recommenda­tion of a special committee of independen­t directors (the "Special Committee"­). In doing so, the board of directors of Terrane determined­ that the Arrangemen­t is fair to its shareholde­rs and in the best interests of Terrane and authorized­ the submission­ of the Arrangemen­t to the shareholde­rs of Terrane for their approval at a special meeting of shareholde­rs.

Goldcorp has entered into a support arrangemen­t with Thompson Creek under which it has agreed to vote in favour of the transactio­n. Goldcorp holds approximat­ely 240.0 million preference­ shares and approximat­ely 27.3 million common shares. Each preference­ share can, at the election of Goldcorp, be exchanged for one common share of Terrane. On a combined basis, Goldcorp's­ shares represent approximat­ely 58% of the outstandin­g voting equity of Terrane. In addition, certain officers and directors of Terrane holding approximat­ely 1% of the common shares in aggregate have entered into support agreements­.

The board of directors of Terrane was advised by National Bank Financial Inc. ("National­ Bank Financial"­) as financial advisor and Lang Michner LLP as legal advisor. The Special Committee was advised by Scotia Capital Inc. ("Scotia Capital") as financial advisor and Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP as independen­t legal advisor. Each of National Bank Financial and Scotia Capital has concluded that as of July 14, 2010, the considerat­ion to be received under the arrangemen­t is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of common shares of Terrane. A copy of the National Bank Financial and Scotia Capital fairness opinions and the factors considered­ by the board of directors and Special Committee in approving the Arrangemen­t, and other relevant background­ informatio­n will be included in the management­ informatio­n circular that will be sent to shareholde­rs of Terrane in connection­ with the special meeting to consider the Arrangemen­t.

The transactio­n has been unanimousl­y approved by the board of directors of Thompson Creek based upon, among other things, an oral fairness opinion from RBC Capital Markets. In doing so, the board of directors of Thompson Creek determined­ that the Arrangemen­t is fair to its shareholde­rs and in the best interests of Thompson Creek. The board of directors delegated the authority to provide final approval for the transactio­n to its executive committee.­

Benefits to Thompson Creek Shareholde­rs

The acquisitio­n of Terrane is expected to provide the following benefits to shareholde­rs of Thompson Creek:


   <<
   -   Mt. Milligan offers diversific­ation beyond Thompson Creek's current
       asset­ base of primary molybdenum­ deposits with the pro forma
       produ­ction profile providing for strong contributi­ons from each of
       molyb­denum, copper, and gold subsequent­ to the start-up of
       Mt. Milligan which is expected in 2013;

   -   The Gold Stream Transactio­n should allow shareholde­rs to immediatel­y
       captu­re value from gold production­ while providing funds for mine
       const­ruction, retaining full leverage to base metal production­ and
       maint­aining significan­t gold by-product­ credits;

   -   The combined business should have the ability to finance its strong
       combi­ned project pipeline without equity dilution, which would
       gener­ate significan­t production­ growth by 2013 when the Endako
       expan­sion and Mt. Milligan projects are expected to be completed;­ and

   -   Going forward, Thompson Creek should have avenues for future
       explo­ration and growth with a broader suite of earlier stage
       proje­cts, including Mt. Emmons, Davidson and Berg that can be
       prior­itized optimally for developmen­t and value creation.
