      <b>February 3, 2004, Vancouver, BC</b> &#45; Ronald W. Thiessen, President
      and CEO of Taseko Mines Limited (TSX Venture: TKO; OTCBB: TKOCF) announces
      that Taseko has reached agreement in principle to privately place 3.9 million
      units in its capital at a price of $2.00 for gross proceeds of $7.8 million
      to a number of accredited investors. Each unit will consist of one common
      share and a share purchase warrant exercisable to purchase an additional
      common share at a price of $2.25 for a one year period from completion of
      the financing, which is planned to occur in February. Proceeds from the
      placement will be used for working capital purposes. <br>
      &nbsp; <br>
      The offering is subject to execution of definitive agreements and TSX Venture
      Exchange acceptance, which is expected in the ordinary course. 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. Finders&#39; fees
      in amounts permitted by TSX Venture Exchange guidelines will be payable
      on the placement. <br>
      &nbsp; <br>
      The common share purchase warrants are subject to an accelerated expiry
      if, at any time following the expiration of the four-month hold period,
      the published closing trade price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture
      Exchange is greater than or equal to $4.50 for any 10 consecutive trading
      days, in which event the Holder will be given notice that the Warrants will
      expire in 45 days. The common share purchase warrants may be exercised by
      the holder during the 45 day period between the notice and the expiration
      of the common share purchase warrants. <br>
      &nbsp; <br>
      ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS <br>
