February 9, 2011, Vancouver, BC - Lorraine Copper Corp. ("Lorraine Copper" or "the Company") (TSX-V: LLC) announces that Teck Resources Limited ("Teck") (TSX: TCK.A, TCK.B; NYSE: TCK) has informed the Company that it has earned a 51% interest in the Lorraine project which is located in the Quesnel Terrane approximately 250 km northwest of Prince George, BC.

Teck optioned the Lorraine project in June, 2005 and has now incurred a total of $9.0 million to earn a 51% interest in the property, including direct expenditures of $7.5 million and $1.5 million in indirect expenditures through an earlier loan funding agreement which has been forgiven. Teck has also completed an earn-in for a 100% interest in the adjoining Jan-Tam-Misty property by making a final option payment to the vendors and these claims now constitute part of the Lorraine project. Jan-Tam-Misty is subject to certain royalty rights. The combined property now covers an area of approximately 39,046 ha (96,481 acres). Teck may increase its interest in the Lorraine project to 60% by completing a feasibility study and to 65% by arranging production financing for Lorraine Copper Corp.

Mineralization on the Lorraine project is related to alkalic intrusions and belongs to a deposit style that includes the Galore Creek project owned by Teck and Nova Gold Resources Inc. (TSX: NG), the Imperial Metals Corp. (TSX: III) owned Mount Polley mine and the New Gold Inc. (TSX: NGD) owned New Afton project.

The Lorraine project is well served by resource infrastructure, including all season roads, the Kemess power corridor to the northeast and the Canadian National Railway line to the southwest. The Lorraine project is located approximately 100 km northwest of Thompson Creek Metals' (TSX: TCM) Mt. Milligan project. G.L.
