    Taseko Mines Limited (TSX Venture: TKO; AMEX: TGB) provides the following
    update on production and sales results from the Gibraltar copper-molybdenum
    mine for the quarter ending June 30, 2005. <br>
    <b>&nbsp;</b> <br>
    <b>COPPER</b> <br>
    - Copper concentrate production during the quarter was 27,500 wet metric tonnes
    (&#34;WMT&#34;), or 15.5 million pounds of copper (96% of forecast). <br>
    - Copper concentrate sales for the quarter were 32,100 WMT (approximately
    17 million pounds of copper and 13% above forecast), an increase from the
    26,500 WMT (or approximately 14 million pounds of copper) of the previous
    quarter, as a result of production and drawdown of inventories from the previous
    quarter end. <br>
    - Copper concentrate inventory at June 30, 2005 was 6,900 WMT (or approximately
    3.7 million pounds of copper), a decrease from the 11,500 WMT (or approximately
    6.2 million pounds of copper) of inventory on hand at the end of the previous
    quarter. <br>
    <b>&nbsp;</b> <br>
    <b>MOLYBDENUM</b> <br>
    - Molybdenum in concentrate production during the quarter was 178,000 pounds
    (92% of forecast). <br>
    - Molybdenum in concentrate sales were 223,000 pounds, an increase from the
    78,000 pounds sold in the previous quarter. <br>
    - Molybdenum in concentrate inventory was 18,000 pounds, a decrease from 63,000
    pounds at the end of the previous quarter. </font></p>
  <p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Assuming
    achievement of forecasted levels of production, Taseko now expects to operate
    at these approximate current levels of inventory at future quarter ends.</font></p>

    Financial results for the period, Taseko&#39;s third fiscal quarter of 2005,

    &nbsp; <br>
    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, that address estimated mineral resource and reserve quantities,
    grades and contained metal, and possible future mining, exploration and development
    activities, are forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes
    the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on
    reasonable assumptions, such statements should not be in any way construed
    as 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 market prices for metals, the conclusions of detailed feasibility
    and technical analyses, lower than expected grades and quantities of resources,
    mining rates and recovery rates and the lack of availability of necessary
    capital, which may not be available to the Company on terms acceptable to
    it or at all. The Company is subject to the specific risks inherent in the
    mining business as well as general economic and business conditions. For more
    information on the Company, Investors should review the Company&#39;s annual
    Form 20-F filing with the United States Securities Commission and its Canadian
