      3, 2005, 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; AMEX: TGB) announces that Taseko has reached agreements in principle
      with a number of accredited investors to privately place up to 5,172,500
      equity units in its capital, at a price of CDN$1.45 per unit, for gross
      proceeds of up to CDN$7,500,125. Each unit consists of one common share
      and one common share purchase warrant exercisable to purchase an additional
      common share at a price of CDN$1.66 for an 18 month period from the completion
      of the financing, expected in February. </font></p>
    <p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The
      financing is currently subject to execution of definitive agreements and
      stock exchange acceptances, both of which are expected to occur in the normal
      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
      in the principal Canadian jurisdictions. Intermediary fees of approximately
      6% will be paid in cash or shares. </font></p>
    <p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Proceeds
      from the placement will be used to fund restart operating costs and evaluation
      of hydrometallurgy technology for the Gibraltar Mine, and for general working
      capital. The 35,000 tonnes per day Gibraltar open pit copper mine, located
      near Williams Lake in south-central British Columbia, has been in operation
      since October 2004. Under the current plan, the mine and mill complex will
      produce an average of 70 million pounds of copper and 980,000 pounds of
      molybdenum in concentrate annually. <br>

      <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">This release
      includes certain statements that may be deemed &quot;forward-looking statements&quot;.
      All statements in this release, other than statements of historical facts,
      including those that announce proposed financings that the Company expects
      to complete, are forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes
      the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based
      on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future
      performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from
      those in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual
      results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include
      the failure of investors who are believed to have committed to the financings
      to fail to complete them as a result of general market conditions, adverse
      developments unique to such investors or otherwise. Accordingly, the actual
      amounts raised may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking
      statements. For more information on the Company, Investors should review
      the Company&#39;s annual Form on 20F filing with the United States Securities
      Commission and its home jurisdiction filings that are available at www.sedar.com.
