Deferral Elections

(a)    Opportunity to Defer. A Participant may elect to defer payment of a
portion of the Annual Fee otherwise payable to him or her for services to be
rendered after his or her Participation Date by any dollar amount or whole
percentage of his or her Annual Fee (subject to such limits and restrictions as

RSUs granted (subject to any limits and restrictions that may be established

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)    Accounts. A separate Account shall be established for each Deferral
Election made by a Participant that differs from previous Deferral Elections
with respect to timing of distribution (i.e., a different Specified Payment
Date) and/or form of distribution (i.e., lump sum or installment). A Participant
shall be limited to a maximum number of five (5) Accounts. Each Account shall be
maintained solely as a bookkeeping entry by the Company to evidence an unfunded
obligation of the Company.
(i)    Cash Deferred Portion. Each Account may consist of a Cash Deferred
Portion.
(ii)    Stock Deferred Portion. Each Account may also consist of a Stock
Deferred Portion.
(c)    Deferral Elections.
(i)    Timing.
(A)    Generally. The initial Deferral Election of a new Participant with
respect to Annual Fees and RSUs shall be made by written notice signed by the
Participant and delivered to the Company not later than thirty (30) days after
the Participant first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan or any other
plan maintained by the Company that provides for the deferral of the
Participant’s compensation. Provided, however, such initial Deferral Election
relating to Annual Fees and RSUs earned for service prior to the date such
election form is filed with the Company shall be valid only if such initial
Deferral Election complies with the requirements of Section 4(e) and is approved
by the Compensation and Governance Committee. Any subsequent Deferral Elections
shall be made by written notice signed by the Participant and delivered to the
Company not later than the last day of the month prior to the next succeeding
Plan Year and shall be effective on the first day of such succeeding Plan Year
with respect to Annual Fees to be earned and RSUs to be granted in such
subsequent Plan Year. A Deferral Election with respect to the deferral of future
Annual Fees and RSUs shall be an irrevocable election for each Plan Year with
respect to the compensation to which it expressly applies (and shall become
irrevocable immediately prior to the Enrollment Date to which such Deferral
Election relates) unless otherwise modified or revoked during the Plan Year as
provided in Section 4(d) herein. The termination of participation in the Plan
shall not affect amounts previously deferred by a Participant, and any
adjustments thereon, under the Plan.
(ii)    Content.
(A)    Deferral Elections. A Deferral Election made pursuant to Section 4(c)(i)
shall be made in writing on a form prescribed by the Company and the Deferral
Election shall state:
(1)    That the Participant wishes to make an election to defer the receipt of
all or a portion of his or her Annual Fee and/or RSUs;
(2)    The whole percentage, dollar value, or number of RSUs to be deferred; and
(3)    The Specified Payment Date, if any, on which the Participant shall
receive or begin to receive the distributions of his or her Accounts with
respect to the Annual Fee and/or RSUs deferred under such Deferral Election.
With respect to the Deferred RSUs, the Specified Payment Date must be at least
one year from the date of grant.
(B)    Each Deferral Election with respect to Annual Fees shall also include the
Participant’s election regarding the form of payment to be received upon his or
her death, Disability, Separation from Service or applicable Specified Payment
Date, such form to be either (1) a lump sum or (2) annual installments over a
period not to exceed ten (10) years. The Deferral Election with respect to the
form of payment shall govern the distribution of such Participant’s Account,
except as provided in Section 4(e). If a Participant fails to specify a form of
payment, his or her Account shall be distributed in a lump sum. No such election
is needed for RSUs because each deferral of RSUs will be distributed in a lump
sum.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d)    Suspension of Deferral Election. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 4(c) of the Plan, the Compensation and Governance Committee, in its sole
discretion upon written application by a Participant, may authorize the
suspension of a Participant’s Deferral Election in the event of an Unforeseeable
Emergency. Any suspension authorized by the Compensation and Governance
Committee shall become effective as soon as practicable after the Compensation
and Governance Committee’s receipt of a suspension application, but no later
than the first payroll period beginning thirty (30) days after the receipt of
such suspension application. Such suspension shall be effective for the
remainder of the Plan Year and shall be deemed an annual election for each
succeeding Plan Year unless a subsequent Deferral Election is filed with the
Company pursuant to Section 4(c).
(e)    Change in Form of Distribution and Specified Payment Date. If approved by
the Compensation and Governance Committee, a Participant may amend a prior
Deferral Election, or a Participant may defer unvested Annual Fees and/or RSUs
for which there is no existing Deferral Election (collectively, “Unvested
Payments”), in accordance with Code Section 409A and the regulations thereunder,
on a form provided by the Compensation and Governance Committee in order to
change the form of the distribution of his or her Accounts, the anticipated
timing or form of Unvested Payments, and/or any Specified Payment Date (in each
case, a “Subsequent Change”). A Subsequent Change shall be given effect by the
Compensation and Governance Committee only if the election to change the form of
payment, the timing or form of Unvested Payments, or the Specified Payment Date
(i) does not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on
which the election is made and (ii) is made at least twelve (12) months prior to
the date a lump sum is scheduled to be paid or, in the case of installment
payments, twelve (12) months prior to the date the first payment is scheduled to
be paid. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any payment with
respect to which a Participant makes a Subsequent Change shall not be made
before the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date on which the payment would have
been made had the Participant not made the Subsequent Change.
5.
Investment of Accounts

(a)    Return on Cash Deferred Portion. The Cash Deferred Portion of a
Participant’s Account shall be attributed the applicable Annual Rate of Return.
Additions, if any, to a Participant’s Account will be credited to such Account
in a reasonably practicable manner determined by the Compensation and Governance
Committee on an annual basis. Notwithstanding the preceding, the Compensation
and Governance Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine the Annual Rate
of Return for any year, and nothing in this Section 5(a) shall be construed as
requiring any rate of return.
(b)    Dividends on Stock Deferred Portion. Dividends paid with respect to
Deferred RSUs credited to a Participant’s Account shall be reinvested in Company
Stock. Additions, if any, to a Participant’s Account will be credited to such
Account in a reasonably practicable manner determined by the Compensation and
Governance Committee on an annual basis. Notwithstanding the preceding, nothing
in this section 5(b) shall be construed as requiring any payment of dividends on
Company Stock.
(c)    Participant Reports. At the end of each Plan Year (or on a more frequent
basis as determined by the Compensation and Governance Committee), a report
shall be issued to each Participant who has an Account, and such report will set
forth the value of each such Account and, as applicable, the number of Deferred
RSUs credited to each such Account.
6.
Distribution of Accounts

(a)    Distribution upon a Specified Payment Date. Subject to Section 6(j), if a
Participant’s Deferral Election provides for distributions based on the
occurrence of a Specified Payment Date, upon such Specified Payment Date, the
Account(s) attributable to such Deferral Election shall be distributed to the
Participant in a lump sum or, with respect to the Cash Deferred Portion of such
Account for which the Deferral Election provides for a fixed schedule, shall
commence to be distributed to the Participant in annual installments not to
exceed a ten (10) year period as specified on the Participant’s Deferral
Election. The Cash Deferred Portion of a Participant’s Accounts shall be valued
on the date a distribution is processed. All payments and deliveries due under
this Section 6(a) shall be made or shall commence as soon as reasonably feasible
following the Participant’s Specified

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Payment Date, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following the Specified
Payment Date; provided that, if such sixty-day period ends in the taxable year
following the year in which the Specified Payment Date occurs, the Participant
shall not have the right to designate the year of payment.
(b)    Distribution upon Separation From Service.
(i)    Generally. Subject to 6(j), if a Participant’s Deferral Election provides
for a distribution based on his or her Separation from Service, upon such
Separation from Service, the Account(s) attributable to such Deferral Election
shall be distributed to the Participant in a lump sum or, with respect to the
Cash Deferred Portion of such Account for which the Deferral Election provides
for a fixed schedule, in annual installments not to exceed a ten (10) year
period as specified on the Participant’s Deferral Election. In the event that at
the time any Account is subject to distribution under this Section 6(b)(i), the
value of all of a Participant’s Accounts collectively is ten thousand dollars
($10,000) or less, all of the Participant’s Accounts shall be distributed in a
lump sum notwithstanding the Participant’s election to have his or her Account
distributed in installments under the Plan. The Cash Deferred Portion of a
Participant’s Accounts shall be valued on the date a distribution is processed.
Subject to Section 6(b)(ii), all payments and deliveries due under this
Section 6(b)(i) shall be made or shall commence as soon as reasonably feasible
following the date of a Participant’s Separation from Service, but in no event
later than sixty (60) days following the date of such date; provided that, if
such sixty day period ends in the taxable year following the year in which the
Separation from Service occurs, the Participant shall not have the right to
designate the year of payment. Subject to Section 6(b)(ii), in the case of
annual installment payments, such installment payments subsequent to the first
payment shall be made on the anniversary of the Participant’s Separation from
Service and shall be made as soon as reasonably feasible following all such
anniversaries (“Anniversary Dates”) for as many installment payments as
specified in accordance with Section 6(a), but in no event later than sixty (60)
days following the Anniversary Dates, provided that, if such sixty day period
ends in the taxable year following the year in which the Anniversary Dates
occur, the Participant shall not have the right to designate the year of
payment.
(ii)    Distributions to Specified Employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
distributions to a Specified Employee as a result of Separation from Service,
whether the distribution is made in the form of a lump sum or installments,
shall not be made or the payments may not begin before the six-month anniversary
of the date of the Separation from Service, or, if earlier, the date of death of
the Specified Employee.
(c)    Distribution upon Death. Upon the death of a Participant prior to the
payment of his or her Accounts, the balance of his or her Accounts shall be paid
to the Participant’s Beneficiary in a lump sum or, with respect to the Cash
Deferred Portion of such Account for which the Deferral Election provides for a
fixed schedule, in annual installments not to exceed a ten (10) year period as
specified on the Participant’s Deferral Election form, with such payment to be
made or payments to commence in the case of installment distributions within
sixty (60) days following the date of the Participant’s death; provided that, if
such sixty-day period ends in the taxable year following the year in which the
Participant’s death occurs, neither the Participant nor the Beneficiary shall
have the right to designate the year of payment. The Cash Deferred Portion of
the Participant’s Accounts shall be valued on the date a distribution is
processed. If a Participant who has elected to have his or her Accounts
distributed in installments under the terms of the Plan dies subsequent to the
commencement of such installment payments but prior to the completion of such
payments, the remaining installments shall be distributed in lump sum to the
Beneficiary at the same time as the Participant’s other Accounts as described
above.
(d)    Beneficiary Designation. A Participant may designate a Beneficiary or
Beneficiaries, and a contingent Beneficiary or Beneficiaries, to receive the
undistributed portion of his or her Account(s) if he or she dies before
distribution is completed. In the event a Beneficiary designation is not on file
or all designated Beneficiaries are deceased or cannot be located, payment will
be made to the Participant’s estate. The Beneficiary designation may be changed
by the Participant or former Participant at any time without the consent of the
prior Beneficiary.
(e)    Distribution upon Disability. Upon the Disability of a Participant prior
to the payment of his or her Accounts, the balance of his or her Accounts shall
be paid to the Participant in a lump sum or, with respect to the Cash Deferred
Portion of such Account, in annual installments not to exceed a ten (10) year
period as specified on the Participant’s Deferral Election form, with such
payment to be made or payments to commence in the case of

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

installment distributions within ninety (90) days following the date on which
the Participant becomes Disabled; provided that, if such ninety-day period ends
in the taxable year following the year in which the Participant becomes
Disabled, the Participant shall not have the right to designate the year of
payment. The Cash Deferred Portion of the Participant’s Accounts shall be valued
on the date a distribution is processed.
(f)    Distribution upon an Unforeseeable Emergency. A Participant may request a
distribution of his or her Accounts due to an Unforeseeable Emergency by
submitting a written request to the Compensation and Governance Committee
accompanied by evidence to demonstrate that the circumstances being experienced
qualify as an Unforeseeable Emergency. The Compensation and Governance Committee
shall have the authority to require such evidence as it deems necessary to
determine if a distribution is warranted. If an application for a distribution
due to an Unforeseeable Emergency is approved, the distribution is limited to an
amount sufficient to meet the need resulting from the Unforeseeable Emergency.
The allowed distribution shall be payable in the form determined by the
Compensation and Governance Committee as soon as possible after approval of such
distribution.
(g)    Distribution Pursuant to a Domestic Relations Order. The Compensation and
Governance Committee is authorized to make any payments directed by a Domestic
Relations Order in any action in which the Plan or the Compensation and
Governance Committee has been named as a party. In addition, if a court
determines that a spouse or former spouse of a Participant has an interest in
the Participant’s benefits under the Plan in connection with a property
settlement or otherwise, the Compensation and Governance Committee, in its sole
discretion, shall have the right, notwithstanding any election made by a
Participant, to immediately distribute the spouse’s or former spouse’s interest
in the Participant’s benefits under the Plan to that spouse or former spouse.
(h)    Distribution upon Change in Control. Upon a Change in Control of the
Company, a Participant shall be paid the balance of his Accounts in a lump sum
within sixty (60) days following the date on which the Change in Control occurs;
provided that, if such sixty-day period ends in the taxable year following the
year in which the Change in Control occurs, the Participant shall not have the
right to designate the year of payment.
(i)    Distribution in the Event of Taxation. If, for any reason, it has been
determined that the Plan fails to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A and
the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and the failure is not or
cannot be corrected under an Internal Revenue Service correction program for
such failure, the Compensation and Governance Committee shall distribute to the
Participant the portion of the Participant’s Account(s) that is required to be
included in income as a result of the failure of the Plan to comply with the
requirements of Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder.
(j)    Distribution Events. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the
contrary, the Cash Deferred Portion and Stock Deferred Portion of a
Participant’s Account shall be distributed in accordance with his or her
Deferral Election made with respect to such Account. With respect to each
Account, a Deferral Election shall provide for a distribution on or based on (A)
the Participant’s Specified Payment Date, (B) the Participant’s Separation from
Service or (C) the first to occur of the Participant’s Specified Payment Date or
the Participant’s Separation from Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all
Accounts, or, if applicable, a portion thereof, shall be distributed on or based
on the first to occur of: (T) the Participant’s death, (U) the Participant’s
Disability, (V) an Unforeseeable Emergency, (W) the receipt of a Domestic
Relations Order requiring distribution, (X) a Change in Control, (Y) income

to the Cash Deferred Portion of his or her Account shall be paid in cash.
Distributions made to a Participant with respect to the Stock Deferred Portion
of his or her Account shall be paid in shares of Common Stock; provided,
however, that the value of any fractional shares otherwise deliverable to the
Participant shall be paid in cash. In determining the value of shares of Common
Stock, the Company shall value the Common Stock using the closing stock price on
the date the distribution is processed.

terminated by the Compensation and Governance Committee in its sole discretion
at any time and from time to time; provided, however, that no such amendment,
modification, or termination shall impair any rights to benefits under the Plan
prior to such amendment, modification, or termination; further, provided, that
any termination of the Plan and any distributions made in connection with such
termination shall, in each case, be made in accordance with the requirements of
Code Section 409A and Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix).
(d)    No Effect on Other Benefits. It is expressly understood and agreed that
the payments made in accordance with the Plan are in addition to any other
benefits or compensation to which a Participant may be entitled or for which he
or she may be eligible, whether funded or unfunded, by reason of his or her
employment by the Company.
(e)    No Tax Representations. The Company makes no representation with respect
to the state, federal, financial, estate planning or the securities implications
of the Plan. Participants should consult with their own tax, financial and legal
advisors with respect to their participation in the Plan.
(f)    Income Tax Withholdings. There shall be deducted from each payment under
the Plan the amount of any tax required by any governmental authority to be
withheld and paid over by the Company to such governmental authority for the
Account of the person entitled to such distribution. If a Participant’s benefit
is to be received in the form of Common Stock, and such Participant fails to
make arrangements for the payment of tax, the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Company shall withhold such shares of Common Stock having a value equal to the
minimum amount required to be withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when a
Participant is required to pay the Company an amount required to be withheld
under applicable income and employment tax laws, the Participant may elect to
satisfy the obligation, in whole or in part, by electing to have withheld, from
the shares required to be delivered to the Participant, shares of Common Stock
having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld, or by delivering to
the Company other shares of Common Stock held by such Participant. The shares
used for tax withholding will be valued at an amount equal to the market value
per share of such Common Stock on the date the benefit is to be included in
Participant’s income. In no event shall the market value per share of the Common
Stock to be withheld and delivered pursuant to this Section 8(f) to satisfy
applicable withholding taxes in connection with the benefit exceed the statutory
minimum amount of taxes required to be withheld.
(g)    Governing Law; Jurisdiction. The validity, construction, and effect of
the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined
in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado, without giving effect to
principles of conflicts of laws to the extent not pre-empted by federal law. The
enforcement or interpretation of the Plan and any disputes under or arising out
of the Plan shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the
federal and state courts located in the County of Denver, Colorado.
(h)    Code Section 409A. All Accounts under the Plan that are intended to be
“deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A shall be interpreted,
administered and construed to comply with Section 409A, and all Accounts under
the Plan that are intended to be exempt from Section 409A shall be interpreted,
administered and construed to comply with and preserve such exemption. The
Compensation and Governance Committee shall have full authority to give effect
to the intent of the foregoing sentence. To the extent necessary to give effect
to this intent, in the case of any conflict or potential inconsistency between
the Plan and a provision of any Account or Deferral Election, the Plan shall
govern. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor any member of the
Board of Directors shall have any liability to any person in the event Code
Section 409A applies to any Account in a manner that results in adverse tax
consequences for the Participant or any of his or her Beneficiaries or
transferees.
(i)    Construction. The captions and numbers preceding the sections of the Plan
are included solely as a matter of convenience of reference and are not to be
taken as limiting or extending the meaning of any of the terms and provisions of
the Plan. Whenever appropriate, words used in the singular shall include the
plural or the plural may be read as the singular.
(j)    Severability. In the event that any provision of the Plan shall be
declared illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall
not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan but shall be fully severable,
and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if said illegal or invalid
provision had never been inserted herein.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, to record the adoption of this Plan, effective as of
December 18, 2012, the undersigned, being duly authorized to act on behalf of
the Board of Directors has executed this document this __ day of ___________,

Special Appendix to the
THOMPSON CREEK METALS COMPANY, INC. NON-EMPLOYEE NON-QUALIFIED DEFERRED
COMPENSATION PLAN

Special Provisions Applicable to Non-Employee Directors Subject to Taxation
under the Provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada)
This special appendix sets forth special provisions of the Plan that apply to
Canadian Directors. This special appendix shall become effective December 18,
2012 and shall apply to all Deferred RSUs granted or made to a Canadian Director
on or after such date. For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this special appendix
shall be deemed to modify the Plan as it relates to Directors who are not
Canadian Directors.
1.     Definitions
For purposes of this special appendix:
(a) “Affiliate” means an affiliate of the Corporation as the term “affiliate” is
defined in paragraph 8 of Canada Revenue Agency Interpretation Bulletin
IT-337R4, Retiring Allowances [Consolidated], dated February 1, 2006, as such
publication may be amended from time to time.
(b) “Canadian Director” means a Director who is a resident, at any material
time, of Canada for the purposes of ITA.
(c) “ITA” means the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the regulations thereto, as may
be amended from time to time.
(d) “Termination Date” means, with respect to a Canadian Director, the earliest
date on which both of the following conditions are met: (i) the Canadian
Director has ceased to serve as Director and is not a director of an Affiliate;
and (ii) the Canadian Director is not an employee of the Company or any
Affiliate thereof.
2.     Compliance with Regulation 6801(d)
Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, it is intended that,
with respect to Canadian Directors, the provisions of the Plan, including this
special appendix, comply with the requirements of paragraph (1) of the
definition of “salary deferral arrangement” in subsection 248(l) of the ITA and
Regulation 6801(d) to the ITA (and any successor provisions thereto), and all
provisions of the Plan shall be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent
with such requirements.
3.    Deferral Election
(a)    A Canadian Director may only elect to defer the receipt of shares of
Common Stock payable to the Participant with respect to RSUs granted (subject to
any limits and restrictions that may be established from time to time by the
Compensation and Governance Committee), such amount to be credited to his or her
Account under the Plan. No portion of the Canadian Director’s Annual Fee may be
deferred.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)    Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, any Canadian
Director who elects to defer any portion of his or her RSUs shall receive such
credit in his or her Account immediately prior to the time that the RSUs would
otherwise be granted.
4.    Distribution to Canadian Directors
The value of a Canadian Director’s Account shall be distributed following such
Canadian Director’s Separation from Service or death in accordance with Sections
6(b) and 6(c) of the Plan and, in all circumstances, shall be paid out (less
applicable withholdings) in shares of Common Stock no later than December 31st
of the year commencing immediately after the Canadian Director’s Separation from
Service or death.
5.    No Additional Benefit
For greater certainty, no amount will be paid to, or in respect of, a Canadian
Director (or a person with whom the Canadian Director does not deal with at
arm’s length, within the meaning of the ITA) under the Plan or pursuant to any
other arrangement, and no additional RSUs will be granted to a Canadian Director
to compensate, in whole or in part, for a downward fluctuation in the fair
market value of the Common Stock, nor will any other form of benefit be
conferred upon, or in respect of, a Canadian Director (or a person with whom the
Canadian Director does not deal with at arm’s length, within the meaning of the
ITA) for such purpose.
6.     Amendment to Special Appendix
This special appendix may be altered, amended, suspended or terminated at any
time by the Compensation and Governance Committee, provided that such amendments
shall not adversely affect the previously accrued rights of any Canadian
Director and further provided that any amendment or termination of the Plan
shall be such that, with respect to each Canadian Director, the Plan
continuously meets the requirements of Regulation 6801(d) to the ITA or any
successor provision thereto.
