    ACTIVITIES ADVANCING AT GIBRALTAR MINE SITE</font></h1>
  <div align="justify">
    <p><font face="Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="3"> <b>September
      13, 2004</b> <b>, </b> <b>Vancouver</b> <b>, </b> <b>BC</b> &#45; Ronald
      W. Thiessen, President and CEO of Taseko Mines Limited (TSX Venture: TKO;
      OTCBB: TKOCF) is pleased to provide an update on re-start activities at
      the Gibraltar open pit copper mine. The 35,000 tonnes per day operation,
      located near Williams Lake in south-central British Columbia, is a joint
      venture between Taseko and Ledcor Mining Ltd (&#34;Ledcor&#34;). Ledcor
      is operating the mine. </font></font></p>
    <p><font face="Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="3">In April
      2004, Taseko announced that it was advancing toward the resumption of operations
      at Gibraltar. The current plan is to extract 148 million tonnes of sulphide
      ore over 12 years, producing an average of 70 million pounds of copper and
      980,000 pounds of molybdenum in concentrate annually, beginning in October.
      Oxide material, when accessed, will also be processed at a rate of up to
      10 million pounds per year by the solvent extraction-electrowinning plant
      to produce copper cathode. Substantial additional resources have also been
      outlined to extend the life of the operation well beyond the current mine
      plan. </font></font></p>
    <p><font face="Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="3">Ledcor
      personnel were mobilized to site in late May to accelerate preparations
      for restart. Two shovels, eight haul trucks and two drills were re-commissioned
      for commencement of pre-development mining operations in the Pollyanna Pit
      on June 10. To the end of August, some 3.35 million tons of material has
      been removed to facilitate access to the Pollyanna mineralization. </font></font></p>
    <p><font face="Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="3">A new
      40 cubic yard P&amp;H 2800XPB shovel arrived at site in early July and was
      immediately mobilized to the in-pit assembly area where it is being erected
      for operation in early October. The first of five new 205 ton Terex-Unit
      Rig trucks reached the mine in August. This new equipment, financed by Ledcor
      for utilization by the joint venture, will be an integral part of the fleet
      during full mining operations. </font></font></p>
    <p><font face="Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="3">Maintenance
      on other mining equipment and the site facilities is proceeding concurrently
      with the pre-production activities. Reconditioning of the crushing, conveying
      and concentrating equipment in the mill is being finalized. Testing of the
      primary and secondary crushers and filling of the fine ore bins is also
      underway. Mill circuits will be commissioned and concentrate production
      initiated in early October. </font></font></p>
    <p><font face="Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="3">Elsewhere
      at the site, the Gibraltar Landfill has now been in full operation for eleven
      months. The landfill was developed in an area where mining activities have
      been completed, and is designed for a 100 year useful life. Earlier this
      year, this innovative private public partnership between Gibraltar and the
      Cariboo Regional District received the 2004 Partners in Mining Award from
      the Mining Association of British Columbia. </font></font></p>
