Dear [NAME]:

Your role and your contributions will be critical to the success of Thompson

the Company, and we want to provide you with this incentive award to incent
future performance and lessen any perceived risk that you may have.

We are pleased to provide you with an incentive award in the amount of $[XX,XXX]
(the “Award”) in your local payroll currency at the time of Award issuance,
subject to the terms and conditions of this award agreement and the Thompson
Creek Metals Company Inc. Cash-Based Incentive Plan, as the same may be amended
from time to time (the “Plan”) and less applicable deductions and withholdings.

For 2016, your incentive amount is inclusive of all awards under the new
provisional 2016 long-term cash incentive program.

The Award will be paid to you in full on the next payroll date following the
date of this award agreement, subject to potential repayment as set forth in
this award agreement.

Except as set forth below, you will be obligated to repay to the Company, in
cash, within ten business days after demand is made therefore by the Company,
the total amount of the Award ($[XX,XXX]) if your employment with the Company
terminates for any reason prior to the occurrence of the earlier of:

•
Consummation of a Transaction (as defined in the Plan); or

•
December 31, 2016.

Notwithstanding the above, your obligation to repay the Award to the Company
shall immediately lapse upon the termination of your employment either by the
Company without Cause or by you for Good Reason.

Nothing in this award agreement constitutes a contract for employment or changes
the status of your employment with the Company. Except for terms contained
herein, your employment remains subject to any employment terms which already
exist between you and the Company.

Your Award is subject in all respects to the terms of the Plan. A copy of the
Plan is available upon your request. Capitalized terms used herein which are
defined in the Plan shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in
the Plan, unless otherwise defined herein. In the event that any provision of
this award agreement is inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, the terms of
the Plan shall govern. Any question of administration or interpretation arising
under this award agreement shall be determined by the Administrator
administering the Plan, and such determination shall be final, conclusive and
binding upon all parties in interest.

By accepting this Award, you acknowledge and agree that (i) this award
agreement, including but not limited to, the amount of your Award and terms
thereof and (ii) the existence of and the terms and conditions of any potential
Transaction are strictly confidential and, except as required by applicable law
or in the performance of your duties as an employee of the Company, may not be
shared with anyone, whether inside or outside of the Company, with the exception
of your spouse and legal counsel who too shall be bound to maintain
confidentiality. Breach of this provision shall be considered Cause for
termination for all purposes under this Award, the Plan and employment.

We value your service and appreciate your loyalty. We look forward to your
continued commitment as we work together to ensure the success of Thompson
Creek.
