      NEW DIRECTOR JOINS TASEKO BOARD<br>
      &nbsp; </strong></font></p>
    <p align="justify"><font size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>August
      2, 2006, Vancouver, BC</b> &#45; Taseko Mines Limited (TSX: TKO; AMEX: TGB)
      (&#34;Taseko&#34; or the &#34;Company&#34;) has appointed William P. Armstrong,
      P.Eng., to the Company&#39;s Board of Directors. <br>
      &nbsp; <br>
      Mr. Armstrong is a geological engineer with Bachelors and Masters of Applied
      Science degrees from the University of British Columbia and over 40 years
      of experience in the exploration and evaluation of base and precious metals
      projects. He recently retired from Teck Cominco Ltd., where he held the
      position of General Manager, Resource Evaluation. In that role he was responsible
      for compilation and review of all mineral reserves and resources for Teck
      Cominco and, prior to that, Cominco Ltd. Throughout his career, he was actively
      involved in numerous feasibility studies that brought many new mines into
      production, notably the Highland Valley Copper and Polaris operations in
      Canada and the Quebrada Blanca mine in Chile. <br>
      &nbsp; <br>
      His broad range of experience with late stage and producing projects will
      be invaluable to Taseko as the Company advances with its plans for growth,
      including the expansion of Gibraltar and the potential development of Prosperity,
      and the evaluation of new projects that offer the opportunity for near term
      production. <br>
      &nbsp; <br>
      For further details on Taseko and its properties, please visit the Company&#39;s
      website at www.tasekomines.com or contact Investor Services at (604) 684-6365
      or within North America at 1-800-667-2114. <br>
