    COMPLETES $4 MILLION FINANCING &nbsp; </strong></font>

    15, 2004, Vancouver, BC</font></b> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">&#45;
    Ronald W. Thiessen, President and CEO of Taseko Mines Limited (TSX Venture:
    TKO; OTCBB: TKOCF) announces that Taseko has completed a private placement
    financing of 6.7 million units in its capital, each unit consisting of one
    common share and one common share purchase warrant, for gross proceeds of
    $4 million. The common shares in the units and the shares issuable on exercise
    of the warrants will be subject to a four month resale restricted period in
    the principal Canadian jurisdictions. Further details are provided in the
    Company&#39;s News Release of October 31, 2003. This financing brings the
    current working capital position of the Company, including the Gibraltar Mines
    Joint Venture to approximately $23.8 million. This amount does not include
    $17.1 million held in a restricted qualified environment trust intended for
    reclamation. </font></p>
  <p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Taseko
    owns substantial copper and gold resources, and is well positioned to take
    advantage of the improving metal market conditions for copper and gold. Taseko&#39;s
    main assets are the Gibraltar copper mine, and the advanced-stage Prosperity
    gold-copper and Harmony gold projects. All are located in British Columbia,
    Canada. <br>
    Proceeds of the financing will be used for general working capital purposes
    and to advance planning toward re-start of the Company&#39;s Gibraltar copper
    mine, located near Williams Lake in south-central B.C. Gibraltar is a fully
    equipped, 35,000 tonnes per day open pit copper operation that has been maintained
    on stand-by awaiting higher copper prices. In the interim, Taseko has focused
    on reclamation and other site activities, as well as developing a number of
    initiatives to assist with reducing operating costs. The Company also carried
    out a successful exploration drilling program at the site in 2003. With increasing
    copper prices over the past year, discussions have commenced with copper concentrate
    buyers and other contractors to facilitate re-start. Once in production, Gibraltar
    is expected to produce 80 million pounds of copper and 700,000 pounds of molybdenum
    annually. </font></p>
