    Ronald W. Thiessen, President and CEO of Taseko Mines Limited (TSX Venture:
    TKO; AMEX: TGB) announces that Taseko has completed a private placement financing
    announced on February 3, 2005, comprising 5,204,361 units for gross proceeds
    of $7.5 million. Each unit consists of one common share and one common share
    purchase warrant exercisable to purchase an additional common share at a price
    of $1.66 for an 18 month period. 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. </font></p>
  <p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Proceeds
    from the financing will be used to fund restart operating costs and evaluation
    of hydrometallurgy technology for the Gibraltar Mine, and for general working
    capital. Operations at the 35,000 tonnes per day Gibraltar open pit copper-molybdenum
    mine, located near Williams Lake in south-central British Columbia, restarted
    in 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. </font></p>
