      <strong>TASEKO ANNOUNCES POSTIVE RESULTS OF LABOUR VOTE </strong></font></p>
    <p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">
      <b>February 22, 2005, Vancouver, BC </b>&#45; Taseko Mines Limited (TSX
      Venture: TKO; AMEX: TGB) announces the results of a labour representation
      vote mandated by the British Columbia Labour Relations Board (&#34;BCLRB&#34;)
      for the Gibraltar copper-molybdenum mine in south-central British Columbia.
      </font></p>
    <p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The
      Gibraltar mine is operated under a joint venture arrangement between Taseko&#39;s
      subsidiary, Gibraltar Mines Ltd., and Ledcor Mining Ltd. The mine restarted
      operations in October 2004. Of the 250 people employed at the mine, about
      79% are unionized workers. </font></p>
    <p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">On
      February 16, 2005, Taseko and Ledcor received a BCLRB ruling that confirmed
      the joint venture is the valid successor employer for the Gibraltar operation
      and, accordingly, the BCLRB directed the parties to count the ballots from
      a representation vote, originally held in November 2004, to determine which
      union will represent the employees. The ballots were counted February 21,
      2005, and 74% of the workers voted for the Christian Labour Association
      of Canada (&#34;CLAC&#34;) union. In September 2004, CLAC ratified a collective
      agreement with Ledcor, the operator at the Gibraltar Mine site. </font></p>
    <p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">President
      and CEO Ron Thiessen said &#34;This brings to an end a period of any labour
      uncertainty and assures a stable and efficient operating environment for
      the mine. We can now focus the investment community on the significant opportunity
      which the Gibraltar Mine represents for Taseko.&#34; </font></p>
