    MINE ON SCHEDULE FOR COPPER PRODUCTION BY OCTOBER 2004</font></h1>
  <p align="justify"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="2">
    <b>March 26, 2004, Vancouver, BC</b> &#45; Ronald W. Thiessen, President and
    CEO of Taseko Mines Limited (TSX Venture: TKO; OTCBB: TKOCF) is pleased to
    announce that the Company is on track to re-start operations at the Gibraltar
    mine, located near Williams Lake in south-central British Columbia, this summer.
    It is expected that copper concentrate shipments to customers will commence
    by October 2004. </font></font></p>
  <p align="justify"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="2">Historically
    a swing producer, Taseko&#39;s objective is to re-establish the Gibraltar
    mine with a competitive and predictable cost structure that is responsive
    to market conditions, resulting in sustainable operations over the long term.
    Negotiating competitive prices for equipment purchases and contracts in preparation
    for re-start is key. The status of these activities is: <br>
    -&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Major mining equipment,
    in particular a new mining shovel that is critical for production planning,
    has been secured for delivery, ex-factory, in mid June; <br>
    -&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Purchase and treatment terms
    for mine concentrates have been agreed to by a major buyer, and detailed contract
    documents are being finalized; <br>
    -&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Operating and manpower alternatives
    are being considered and assessed for direct and/or joint venture operations;
    and <br>
    -&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Transportation and materials
    handling arrangements for port and rail are well advanced, and within necessary
    lead times. </font></font></p>
  <p align="justify"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="2">Mr.
    Thiessen said, &#34;Gibraltar re-start activities are well underway and have
    progressed to the point where we are confident that the mine will deliver
    its first copper concentrate to the market on October 1, 2004. Most of the
    prerequisites of the re-start and delivery schedules are secure, and operations
    are proceeding on a normal course basis. We are pleased with the accomplishments
    to date by our 12-member mine site senior management and technical team.&#34;
    </font></font></p>
  <p align="justify"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="2">Gibraltar
    will be one of the first mine openings in central British Columbia in many
    years. The mine will employ approximately 290 people and create millions of
    dollars in economic activity. </font></font></p>
