      <strong><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">TOM MILNER APPOINTED
      DIRECTOR OF MINING </font></strong></p>
    <p align="justify"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>June
      18, 2003, Vancouver, BC</b> &#45; Ronald W. Thiessen, President and CEO
      of Taseko Mines Limited (&#34;Taseko&#34;) (TSX Venture:TKO; OTCBB:TKOCF)
      is pleased to announce the appointment of Tom Milner, P.Eng., as the Director
      of Mining and Chief Operating Officer for Taseko. In addition, Mr. Milner
      is a member of the board of directors and General Manager for Taseko&#39;s
      wholly owned subsidiary, Gibraltar Mines Ltd. (&#34;Gibraltar&#34;), and
      a Director of Cuisson Lake Mines Ltd. Mr. Milner will continue to focus
      his activities on Taseko and Gibraltar; however, his position has been expanded
      to include Director of Mining for HDI-managed companies. In this role, he
      will assist HDI-managed companies to complete due diligence on new exploration
      projects and mining ventures that are being considered for acquisition.
      <br>
      &nbsp; <br>
      Mr. Milner has over 30 years of experience in project engineering and mine
      management at both domestic and international operations. He has been the
      Mine Manager at the Gibraltar copper mine near Williams Lake, British Columbia
      since 1994, and most recently has planned and supervised ongoing maintenance
      of the operation while it is on stand-by. During this time, he and his staff
      have also initiated several innovative projects at the site, including completing
      studies of a hydrometallurgical facility that would decrease operating costs
      at Gibraltar by up to US$0.20/lb; establishing an on-site metallurgical
      testing facility; partnering with the Cariboo Regional District to develop
      a landfill in an area where mining operations are completed; and most recently,
      developing a mini-hydro project that would further decrease the operating
      costs at the mine. <br>
      &nbsp; <br>
      Before joining Gibraltar, Mr. Milner was President and COO of Brinco Coal
      Corporation, overseeing operations at the Quinsam open pit and underground
      thermal coal mine in British Columbia. He was actively involved with the
      Quinsam project for several years. Beginning in 1981 as Project Manager,
      he was responsible for coordinating feasibility work, the community relations
      office and that company&#39;s involvement in the public environmental review
      of the mine development, and later as Vice President and General Manager,
      he was responsible for permitting and start-up of the operation. From 1972-1981,
      he held engineering and management positions, including senior consultant,
      with associate companies of Placer Development Ltd. <br>
      &nbsp; <br>
      In addition to his extensive operational and mine development experience,
      Mr. Milner has had strong connections to the local communities in which
      he has guided mining operations. As a result, he was recently appointed
      to the Board for the Interim Authority for Community Living, British Columbia
      by the BC Minister of Children and Family Development. His experience, innovation,
      and community focus will be a great asset to the Hunter Dickinson companies.
