    DRILLING DEPOSIT-SCALE GEOPHYSICAL ANOMALIES AT GIBRALTAR </strong> </font></p>
  <p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>July
    21, 2003 Vancouver, B.C</b>. - Ronald W. Thiessen, President and CEO of Taseko
    Mines Limited (OTCBB: TKOCF; TSXV: TKO) is pleased to announce that an exploration
    drilling program has begun at its Gibraltar property, near Williams Lake in
    south-central British Columbia. The phased drilling program will test several
    areas adjacent to the porphyry copper deposits from which 1.8 billion pounds
    of copper and 19 million pounds of molybdenum were produced over 27 years
    of operation on the Gibraltar property. <br>
    &nbsp; <br>
    The drill targets are defined by strong, deposit-scale induced polarization
    (&#34;IP&#34;) geophysical anomalies. These anomalies extend along the eastern
    and northern perimeters of the area of the main deposits. In some cases, the
    targets are further defined by significant intersections of copper mineralization
    encountered in widely spaced holes from historical drilling on the property.
    Phase one will focus on two areas, the &#34;98 Oxide Zone&#34; and a second
    area located further to the southeast. <br>
    &nbsp; <br>
    The 98 Oxide Zone is located approximately 1,100 metres east-northeast of
    the Polyanna deposit (40 million tonnes of measured and indicated sulphide
    resources grading 0.31% Cu and 0.01% Mo at a 0.2% cut-off, plus additional
    oxide resources; see TKO 2002 Annual Information Form and Report on 20F).
    Hole 98-05, drilled in the 98 Oxide Zone area, intersected two zones of copper
    mineralization between surface and about 200 metres in depth. Enriched copper
    oxide mineralization, averaging about 0.5% copper, was encountered in the
    upper part of the hole to a depth of approximately 30 metres. An estimated
    2,600 metres of drilling in twelve holes is planned to test the strike and
    dip extent of the zone. The objective is to outline a copper oxide deposit
    that could be heap-leached and processed in the near-term at Gibraltar&#39;s
    10 million pound per year capacity solvent extraction-electrowinning plant.
    <br>
    &nbsp; <br>
    The second area to be drilled in phase one lies approximately 1,200 metres
    southeast of the 98 Oxide target. Ten holes are planned to test an IP anomaly
    measuring 1,200 metres by 600 metres in size. <br>
    Targets for the next phase of drilling include strong IP anomalies located
    north, northeast and southeast of the area of the main deposits. <br>
    &nbsp; <br>
    The qualified person for the drilling program is George Barker, P.Geo. To
