<P align=center><B>CAUTIONARY NOTE TO UNITED STATES INVESTORS CONCERNING
<BR>ESTIMATES OF RESERVES AND MEASURED, INDICATED AND INFERRED RESOURCES
</B></P>
<P align=justify>The documents that have been incorporated by reference into
this annual report use the terms &#147;measured resources&#148;, &#147;indicated resources&#148; and
&#147;inferred resources&#148;. These resource estimates have been prepared in accordance
with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral
Projects and the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy Classification
System. These standards differ significantly from the requirement of the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;SEC&#148;). Investors are advised
that while the terms &#147;measured resources&#148;, &#147;indicated resources&#148; and &#147;inferred
resources&#148; are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, including
Canadian National Instrument 43-101, the SEC does not recognize them. Under
United States standards, mineralization may not be classified as a &#147;reserve&#148;
unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be
economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve
determination is made and all permits are in hand or are expected to be issued
in the near future. <B>Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or
all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into
reserves. </B>These terms have a great amount of uncertainty as to their
existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It
cannot be assumed that all or any part of measured mineral resources, indicated
mineral resources, or inferred mineral resources will ever be upgraded to a
higher category. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part of the
reported measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources, or inferred
mineral resources in this annual report is economically or legally mineable.
Further, &#147;inferred resources&#148; have a great amount of uncertainty as to their
existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically.
Therefore, United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or
any part of the inferred resources exist. In accordance with Canadian rules,
estimates of inferred mineral resources cannot form the basis of feasibility or
other economic studies.</P>
<P align=justify>Disclosure of &#147;contained ounces&#148; in mineral resources is
permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC only permits
issuers to report mineralization that does not qualify as &#147;reserves&#148; as in place
tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. For all of the above
reasons, information contained in this annual report and the documents
incorporated by reference herein containing descriptions of our reserves and
resources may not be comparable to information made public by U.S. domestic
issuers.</P>
<P align=justify>NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities
Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer
makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects.
Unless otherwise indicated, all reserve and resource estimates contained in or
incorporated by reference in this annual report have been prepared in accordance
with NI 43-101. These standards differ significantly from the requirements of
the SEC, and reserve and resource information contained herein and incorporated
by reference herein may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by
U.S. domestic issuers.</P>
<P align=center><B>NOTE TO UNITED STATES READERS REGARDING DIFFERENCES
<BR>BETWEEN UNITED STATES AND CANADIAN REPORTING PRACTICES </B></P>
<P align=justify>The Company is permitted to prepare this annual report in
accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, which are different from those
of the United States. The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements
in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (&#147;Canadian
GAAP&#148;) which principles differ in certain respects from those applicable in the
United States (&#147;US GAAP&#148;) and from practices prescribed by the SEC. The
Company&#146;s Supplementary Note &#147;<I>Reconciliation with United States Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles</I>&#148; that is incorporated by reference herein,
supplements the Company&#146;s financial statements set forth in this Form 40-F. This

<P align=justify>statements of the Company as at September 30, 2007 and 2006 and
for the years ended September 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, as set forth in this Form
40-F.</P>
<P align=center><B>DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES </B></P>
<P align=justify>As of the end of the period covered by this report, our
management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
under the <I>Securities Exchange Act of 1934</I> (the &#147;Exchange Act&#148;)). Based
upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing,
summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be
disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act. </P>
<P align=justify>While our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial
Officer believe that our disclosure controls and procedures provide a reasonable
level of assurance of effectiveness, they do not expect that our disclosure
controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will
prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or
operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the
objectives of the control system will be met.</P>
<P align=center><B>INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING </B></P>
<P align=justify>The management of the Company is responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting. The
Company&#146;s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance
to the Company&#146;s management and the board of directors regarding the preparation
and fair presentation of published financial statements. Internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to
the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company (2)
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that
receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors of the Company and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use or disposition of the Company&#146;s assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements. All internal control systems, no
matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those
systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with
respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.</P>
<P align=justify>The Company&#146;s management, with the participation of the Chief
Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the
framework and criteria established in Internal Control &#150; Integrated Framework,
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Based on this evaluation, our management has concluded that internal control
over financial reporting was effective as of September 30, 2007 to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP.</P>
<P align=justify>During the period covered by this Annual Report, the Company
completed the implementation of a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system
at one of its subsidiaries, Gibraltar Mines Ltd (&#147;Gibraltar&#148;). In connection
with this ERP system implementation, the Company updated its internal controls
over </P>

<A name=page_6></A>
<P align=center>- 5 - </P>
<P align=justify>financial reporting, as necessary, to accommodate modifications
to its business processes and accounting procedures. Gibraltar&#146;s financial
statements constitute approximately 52% of the Company&#146;s total assets and 100%
of net sales as of the year ended September 30, 2007. Other than the system
implementation at Gibraltar, no other changes in internal controls over
financial reporting occurred during the most recent fiscal year that have
materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company&#146;s
internal control over financial reporting. </P>
<P align=center><B>AUDIT COMMITTEE</B></P>
<P align=justify>The Company&#146;s Board of Directors has established a
separately-designated Audit Committee of the board in accordance with Section
3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act for the purpose of overseeing the Company&#146;s
accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of the Company&#146;s
annual financial statements. As at the date of this annual report, the Audit
Committee was comprised of Bill Armstrong, David Elliott, and Wayne Kirk. </P>
<P align=center><B>AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT </B></P>
<P align=justify>The Company&#146;s Board of Directors has determined that David
Elliott, a member of the Audit Committee of the board, is an audit committee
financial expert (as that term is defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K under
the Exchange Act) and is an independent director under applicable laws and
regulations and the requirements of the American Stock Exchange. </P>

<P align=justify>Audit fees are the aggregate fees billed by the Company&#146;s

services that are provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings
or engagements.</P>
<P align=justify><B>Audit-Related Fees </B></P>

category comprises fees billed for employee benefit audits, due diligence
assistance, consultations on proposed transactions, internal control reviews and
audit and attestation services not required under applicable law, rules and
regulations.</P>
<P align=justify><B>Tax Fees </B></P>
<P align=justify>Tax fees are fees for professional services rendered by the
Company&#146;s independent auditors for tax compliance and tax advice on actual or

<P align=justify><B>All Other Fees </B></P>
<P align=justify>All other fees relate to services other than the audit fees,

<P align=justify><B>Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies </B></P>
<P align=justify>The Company&#146;s management requests approval from the Audit
Committee of the Company&#146;s board for non-audit services from the Company&#146;s
independent auditors. The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and all such
services with set maximum dollar limits. In considering these requests, the
Audit Committee assesses, among other things, whether the non-audit services
requested would be considered prohibited services as contemplated by the SEC,
and whether the non-audit services requested and related fees could impair the
independence of the Company&#146;s auditors. </P>
<P align=center><B>OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS </B></P>
<P align=justify>The Company has not entered into any off-balance sheet
arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future

<P align=center><B>CODE OF ETHICS </B></P>
<P align=justify>The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to its
officers, employees and directors and promotes, among other things, honest and
ethical conduct. The code also promotes compliance by the Company&#146;s Chief
Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other senior finance staff with
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Investors may view the Company&#146;s Code of Ethics,

<P align=justify>The Company&#146;s common shares are listed for trading on The
American Stock Exchange (&#147;AMEX&#148;). Section 110 of the AMEX company guide permits
AMEX to consider the laws, customs and practices of foreign issuers in relaxing
certain AMEX listing criteria, and to grant exemptions from AMEX listing
criteria based on these considerations. A company seeking relief under these
provisions is required to provide written certification from independent local
counsel that the non-complying practice is not </P>

been granted relief from this listing standard. </P>

      <P align=justify>Solvent extraction is the technique of transferring a
      solute from one solution to another; for example when copper oxide is
      dissolved into solution, copper becomes the solute. Electrowinning is the
      process in which an electric current flows between a pair of electrodes
      (anode &amp; cathode) in a solution containing metal ions (electrolyte).
      Metal is deposited on the cathode in accordance with the metal&#146;s ability
      to gain or lose electrons. Since ion deposition is selective, the cathode
      product is generally high grade and requires little further refining.

<P align=justify><B>Resource Category (Classifications) Used in this AIF</B></P>
<P align=justify>The discussion of mineral deposit classifications in this AIF
adheres to the resource/reserve definitions and classification criteria
developed in 2000 by the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and updated
in 2005. There are two broad categories dependent on whether the economic
viability has been established: these are namely &#147;mineral resources&#148; (economic
viability not established) and &#147;mineral reserves&#148; (viable economic production is
feasible). Resources are sub-divided into categories depending on the confidence
level of the estimate based on level of detail of sampling and geological
understanding of the deposit. The categories, from lowest confidence to highest
confidence, are inferred resource, indicated resource and measured resource.
Reserves are similarly sub-divided by order of confidence into probable (lowest)
and proven (highest). These classifications can be more particularly described
as follows: </P>
<P align=justify>&#147;<B>Mineral Resource</B>&#148; means a deposit or concentration of
natural, solid, inorganic or fossilized organic substance in such quantity and
at such greater quality that extraction of the material at a profit is currently
or potentially possible. &#147;<B>Inferred Resource</B>&#148; means the estimated quantity
and grade of a deposit, or a part thereof, that is determined on the basis of
limited sampling, but for which there is sufficient geological information and a
reasonable understanding of the continuity and distribution of metals values to
outline a deposit of potential economic merit. &#147;<B>Indicated Resource</B>&#148; means
the estimated quantity and grade of a part of a deposit for which the continuity
of grade, together with the extent and shape, are so </P>

<P align=justify>well-established that a reliable grade and tonnage estimate can
be made. &#147;<B>Measured Resource</B>&#148; means the estimated quantity and grade of
that part of a deposit for which the size, configuration and grade have been
very well established by observation and sampling of outcrops, drill holes,
trenches and mine workings. </P>
<P align=justify>&#147;<B>Mineral Reserve</B>&#148; is that part of a resource which can
be mined legally and at a profit under economic conditions that are specified
and which are generally accepted as reasonable. Economic viability must be
demonstrated by at least a preliminary feasibility study based on Indicated and
Measured Resources.</P>
<P align=justify>&#147;<B>Probable Reserve</B>&#148; means the estimated quantity and
grade of that part of an Indicated Resource for which the economic viability has
been demonstrated by adequate information and engineering, operating, economic
and legal factors, at a confidence level that will allow positive decisions on
major expenditures.</P>
<P align=justify>&#147;<B>Proven reserve</B>&#148; is the estimated quantity and grade of
that part of a Measured Resource for which the size, grade and distribution of
values, together with technical and economic factors, are so well-established
that there is the highest degree of confidence in the estimate. The term should
be restricted to that part of a deposit being mined, or being developed and for
which there is a production plan.</P>

<P align=justify><I>Overview of Operations </I></P>
<P align=justify>Taseko&#146;s business is focused on enhancing the production of
copper and molybdenum from its Gibraltar mine and on acquiring and advancing
development of large tonnage mineral deposits which, under metals price
assumptions that fall within historical averages, are potentially capable of
supporting a mine for 10 years and longer. Taseko endeavours to apply advanced
mining and recovery techniques to these projects. Taseko&#146;s operating Gibraltar
mine as well as its undeveloped copper/gold projects, known as Prosperity and
Harmony, each host larger tonnage mineral deposits. The Gibraltar mine is a
copper and molybdenum mine that restarted operations in October 2004 after being
placed in care and maintenance for several years. The Prosperity and Harmony
projects are advanced stage exploration projects. A feasibility study has been
completed for Prosperity, with mineral reserves as defined under Canadian
Securities regulations under National Instrument 43-101. However, mineralization
at Harmony has not at this time been determined to constitute a proven or
probable reserve of ore.</P>
<P align=justify>After focusing on the recommencement of production at Gibraltar
over fiscal 2005, fiscal 2006 and 2007 saw the Company reactivate environmental
and economic assessments of the Prosperity project. A $2 million feasibility
study on the Prosperity gold-copper project was completed in September 2007,
confirming the technical and economic feasibility of the project. In fiscal
2007, Taseko continued to focus on expansion of the concentrator and other
production improvements at the Gibraltar mine and review of potential
acquisitions to provide for further corporate growth. Assessments and related
work will also continue on the Harmony project because prevailing copper and
gold prices suggest new opportunities for the project. Taseko believes much of
the investment value in its Common Shares is derived from the potential economic
value that can be derived from the large amount of contained metals on its
projects. Taseko management believes that there will continue to be relatively
strong demand for copper, molybdenum and gold for the near future in any event
and longer term there will be a continuing need to replace depleted
reserves.</P>

the Company redeemed the Note and exercised its pre-emptive right to participate
in Continental&#146;s equity financing. The Company received the principal amount of
the Note ($11.5 million) plus a 5% premium, for total proceeds of $12.1 million.
The proceeds were used to subscribe for 7,318,182 equity units (&#147;Units&#148;) of

<P align=justify><I>1999 Acquisition Terms </I></P>
<P align=justify>On July 21, 1999, Taseko&#146;s subsidiary, Gibraltar Mines Ltd.,
purchased the Gibraltar mine from Boliden Westmin (Canada) Limited (&#147;Boliden&#148;)
and certain of its affiliates, including all mineral interests, mining and
processing equipment and facilities, and assumed responsibility for ongoing
reclamation. Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition, Gibraltar acquired mining
equipment, parts and supplies inventories valued at $19 million, an existing
British Columbia Government environmental deposit of $8 million, and mineral
interests valued at $3.3 million, and received $20.1 million in cash over 18
months from closing, of which $17 million was received pursuant to a 10-year
non-interest bearing convertible debenture issued to Boliden. Gibraltar assumed
the estimated reclamation liability pertaining to the Gibraltar mine of $32.9
million and Taseko guaranteed Gibraltar&#146;s obligations to Boliden. The principal
sum advanced under the debenture is convertible into Taseko common shares in the
first year at Cdn$3.14 per Taseko share. The conversion price escalates Cdn$0.25
per Taseko share each year over the 10-year term of the </P>

<P align=justify>debenture on each July 19th anniversary of closing. The
conversion price at September 30, 2007 is Cdn$5.14 per Taseko share. The
debenture is due on July 19, 2009. After five years, the debenture can be
converted at Taseko&#146;s option at then-prevailing market prices for Taseko shares
or paid out in cash at Taseko&#146;s election. Taseko retains certain rights of first
refusal respecting any proposed sale of shares acquired by Boliden under the
debenture. Taseko is currently involved in a proceeding whereby it has advised
the current owner of the Boliden debenture of its intention to claim a right of
offset in the amount of approximately $3.5 million in connection with the terms
of the 1999 acquisition agreements. The parties are in discussion and the
outcome is currently not determinable. </P>
<P align=justify><I>Gibraltar Mine-Location, Access and Infrastructure </I></P>
<P align=justify>The Gibraltar mine area consists of 219 mineral claims, 30
mining leases, and ancillary fee simple surface title(s) held by Gibraltar. The
mine site covers approximately 109 square km, located at latitude 52&#176;30&#146;N and
longitude 122&#176;16&#146;W in the Granite Mountain area, approximately 65 km north of
the City of Williams Lake in south-central British Columbia, Canada. Access to
the Gibraltar mine from Williams Lake is via Highway 97 to McLeese Lake. From
McLeese Lake, a paved road provides access to the Gibraltar mine site. The total
road distance from the City of Williams Lake to the Gibraltar mine is 65 km and
motor vehicle travel time is approximately 45 minutes. </P>
<P align=justify>The Canadian National Railway has rail service to facilitate
the shipping of copper concentrates through to the Pacific Ocean port of North
Vancouver. A rail siding and storage shed for the shipment of concentrate is
located 26 km from the mine site. Electricity is obtained from the British
Columbia Hydro and Power Authority (&#147;BC Hydro&#148;). Natural gas is provided by
Avista Energy and Terasen Gas (formerly BC Gas). The communities of Williams
Lake and Quesnel are sufficiently close to the site to supply goods, services,
and personnel to the Gibraltar mine. </P>
<P align=justify>The Gibraltar mine mineral claims cover an area of gentle
topography; local relief is in the order of 200 meters. The plant site is
located at an elevation of approximately 1,100 meters above sea level. The
project area has a moderate continental climate with cold winters and warm
summers. Ambient air temperature ranges from a winter minimum of -34&#176; C to a
summer maximum of 35&#176;C. Average annual precipitation at the site averages 51 cm,
of which about 17 cm falls as snow. Maximum snow depth is about 1 meter, most of
which falls in late February. </P>
<P align=justify><I>History </I></P>
<P align=justify>The earliest record of work at the Gibraltar mine is found in
the 1917 British Columbia Minister of Mines Annual Report, which describes the
activities of Joseph Briand and partners exploring copper-bearing quartz veins
just west of the current Pollyanna pit. </P>
<P align=justify>The early 1960s marked the entry of the major mining companies
into the Granite Mountain area and the subsequent introduction of modern
exploration techniques, which ultimately led to the discovery of the mineral
deposits. In this environment, the most effective exploration tools were soon
found to be Induced Polarization (&#147;IP&#148;) geophysics and diamond drilling. </P>
<P align=justify>Mine production began in March 1972 and the mine operated more
or less continuously from 1972-1998. Production to the end of 1998 totalled 1.86
billion lb of copper and 19.7 million lb of molybdenum from 336 million tons
milled. Reconciliation studies on a number of open pit stages demonstrated good
correlation between reserve estimates and actual production. From 1986 to 1998,
the Gibraltar mine has also produced approximately 84.7 million lb of copper in
cathode by leaching both low grade waste material and leachable oxide material
from the pits using sulphuric acid and natural bacteria, and processing by
solvent extraction-electrowinning (SX/EW).</P>

<P align=center>- 10 - </P>
<P align=justify>From 1999-2004, Taseko geologists and engineers explored for
additional mineralized material and to better define known resources. The
on-site staff also completed on-going reclamation work and maintained the
Gibraltar mine for re-start. Operating and environmental permits were kept in
good standing.</P>
<P align=justify>At October 1, 2004 when the mine re-opened, there were
approximately 837 million tons of measured and indicated resources outlined at
Gibraltar, including proven and probable sulphide reserves of 163.5 million tons
grading 0.313% copper and 0.010% molybdenum at a 0.20% copper cut-off and 16.5
million tons of oxide reserves grading 0.148% Cu at a 0.10% acid soluble copper
cut-off. The Gibraltar re-start decision was based on the initial four years of
the 12-year mine plan.</P>
<P align=justify>There have been three increases to mineral reserves since that
time. A core drilling program, encompassing 40 holes (23,000 feet) for pit
definition for the Granite and Connector deposits and property exploration at
the 98 Oxide Zone, was carried out in September and October 2005. A detailed
review of the geological model, confirmation of pit wall locations established
in previous mine optimization studies, and an analysis of price and mining cost
projections allowed for expansion of the previously defined pits and an increase
in mineral reserves at the Granite and Connector Zones.</P>
<P align=justify>A 61,500 foot drilling program was carried out in 2006 and a
further 99,200 foot program was carried out in 2007. The programs were designed
to define the mineral resources between and below the existing pits by tying
together the extensive mineralization zones, and by testing for additional
mineralization at depth. The work successfully met these objectives and modeling
and mine plan development resulted in another increase in mineral reserves. (See
Estimates of Mineralization section for current reserve statements.) </P>
<P align=justify><I>Property Geology </I></P>
<P align=justify>The Gibraltar mine generally consists of seven separate
mineralized zones. Six of these &#150; Pollyanna, Granite, Connector, Gibraltar East,
Gibraltar West and Gibraltar West Extension &#150; occur within the Granite Mountain
batholith in a broad zone of shearing and alteration. A seventh copper
mineralized body, the Sawmill zone, lies about six km to the south, along the
southern edge of the batholith, within a complex contact zone between the
batholith and Cache Creek Group rocks. </P>
<P align=justify>Two major structural orientations have been recognized at
Gibraltar: the Sunset and Granite Creek mineralized systems. The Sunset system
has a northwest strike with one set of structures dipping 35&#176; to 45&#176; to the
south and a conjugate set, known as the Reverse Sunset, dipping 50&#176; to 60&#176; to
the north. The Granite Creek system strikes east-west and dips 20&#176; to 40&#176; to the
south with a subordinate set of structures dipping steeply in a northerly
direction. Structures of the Sunset system that host mineralization are mainly
shear zones, with minor development of stockwork and associated foliation
lamellae. Host structures of the Granite Creek system are predominantly oriented
stockwork zones. </P>
<P align=justify>The Granite Creek system provides the major structures that
control mineralization of Pollyanna, Granite and the Sawmill zones. These bodies
have the characteristic large diffuse nature of porphyry copper type
mineralization. The Gibraltar East deposit is essentially a system of
interconnected Sunset zones, which create a large body of uniform grade.
Gibraltar West and Gibraltar West Extension deposits are contained within a
large complex shear zone. </P>

<P align=justify><I>Mineralization </I></P>
<P align=justify>Pyrite and chalcopyrite are the principal primary iron and
copper sulphide minerals. Sixty percent of the copper occurs in fine-grained
chalcopyrite. Coarser grained chalcopyrite also occurs, usually in quartz veins
and shear zones. Small concentrations of bornite (a sulphide mineral of copper
and iron), associated with magnetite and chalcopyrite, is present on the
extremities of the Pollyanna and Sawmill deposits. Oxide copper mineralization
is also present between the Gibraltar East and Pollyanna open pits in the
Connector Zone. Molybdenite (molybdenum sulphide mineral) is a minor but
economically important associate of chalcopyrite in the Pollyanna, Granite and
Sawmill deposits.</P>
<P align=justify><I>Exploration in 2007 </I></P>
<P align=justify>The objectives of the fiscal 2007 drilling program were to test
the interconnectivity and the extents of Gibraltar deposits, upgrade resources
into reserve category and complete condemnation of proposed dump locations.
Seven target areas were tested as summarized in the table below:</P>

<P align=justify><I>Sampling and Analytical Procedures </I></P>
<P align=justify>A total of 30,227 meters was drilled in 107 drill holes in the
2007 program. The holes averaged 280 metres in length. Drill core was
transported from the drill site by company truck to a secure logging, sampling
and sample preparation facility at the Gibraltar Mine. A total of 28,608 meters
of NQ (4.76 cm) drill core was recovered and sampled. The 9,393 samples taken by
Gibraltar personnel from these holes averaged 3 meters in length and weighed
about 7 kilograms each.</P>
<P align=justify>Geotechnical data was recorded for most 2007 drill holes. Core
recovery was measured on 8,587 drill runs averaging 3 meters in length. Recovery
was generally very good, averaging 96.4% for the sampled intervals measured, 54%
of which had 100% recovery. </P>
<P align=justify>The 2007 sampling preparation and analytical work was completed
by two laboratories. Eco Tech of Kamloops performed 66.0% of the work and ALS
Chemex of North Vancouver did the remaining 33.9% . A small number of samples,
representing 0.1% of the total, were analyzed by the Gibraltar Mine
Laboratory.</P>
<P align=justify>The half-core samples were prepared and analyzed at the
respective laboratories using the same specifications. The entire sample was
dried, and crushed to 70% passing 10 mesh (&lt;2 mm). A 250 g split was then
taken and the samples were pulverized to 95% passing 150 mesh (106 microns). The
coarse reject samples were returned to Gibraltar mine after analysis for long
term storage. The sample pulps are retained at the Surrey BC warehouse of
Taseko. </P>

<P align=justify>The Gibraltar mine site has restricted access. All core from
the 2005 and 2006 program was drilled, transported, logged, and crushed on-site.
For exploration samples (for 2005 this refers to the 98 Oxide drilling), the
remaining half-core, pulps and rejects from half-core samples are retained in a

retained in a secured on-site facility. </P>
<P align=justify><I>Concentrator Expansion Project </I></P>
<P align=justify>A two phase expansion is underway at the concentrator facility
at Gibraltar. The first phase involves installation of a new Semi Autogenous
Grinding (SAG) mill as well as installation of ten new flotation cells and
various upgrades to increase the ore processing capacity from 36,750 to 46,000
tons per day (tpd).</P>
<HR style="PAGE-BREAK-AFTER: always" align=center width="100%" color=black

<A name=page_14></A>
<P align=center>- 13 - </P>
<P align=justify>All components for the SAG mill have been installed and
commissioning of the SAG mill began in December 2007. The Phase One expansion
also requires the conversion of the three rod mills to ball mills which is
planned to occur during the January and February 2008. Ramp up to the full
46,000 tpd rate will take place over the following six months.</P>
<P align=justify>The Phase Two expansion consists of modernizing and increasing
the capacity of the regrind, cleaner flotation, and concentrate circuits,
installing a two stage tailings pumping system and adding a pebble crusher to
the SAG mill circuit. Phase two is designed to increase concentrator capacity
from 46,000 to 55,000 tpd. Work is proceeding on schedule for completion by late
2008.</P>
<P align=justify><I>Mining Operations </I></P>
<P align=justify>The Gibraltar mine is a typical open pit operation that
utilizes drilling, blasting, cable shovel loading and large-scale truck hauling
to excavate rock. The mine is planned to enable excavation of sulphide
mineralized material of sufficient grade that can be economically mined,
crushed, ground and processed to a saleable product by froth flotation. Tailings
are pumped to a storage facility. </P>
<P align=justify>Rock containing lower grade sulphide mineralization or oxide
mineralization is also mined but is not immediately processed. The lower grade
sulphide material is stockpiled for later treatment in the mill. In addition, a
portion of the low grade sulphide (waste) and all of the oxide material can be
leached with sulphuric acid, which is naturally assisted by bacterial action,
and the resultant copper sulphate solution can be processed to cathode copper in
the Gibraltar mine&#146;s SX/EW plant. The SX/EW plant was re-commissioned during the
first quarter of the fiscal year. </P>

<P align=justify>A comprehensive mine closure report containing an assessment of
reclamation and long term environmental costs is produced approximately every 5
years. The most recent reclamation plan and closure report, dated February 26,
2003, was approved by the BC Ministry of Energy and Mines (&#147;MEM&#148;) in 2004. This
report states that the total closure costs, including covering rock piles with
1.0 meters of till, would be $36.9 million. The Ministry of Mines agreed to
consider Gibraltar&#146;s request to reduce the thickness of the till cover to 0.5 m.
If approved, this would reduce final closure costs to $32.9 million. The
reclamation liability outlined in the final closure and reclamation report is
fully funded by cash held in a Reclamation Trust.</P>
<P align=justify>In 2002, Gibraltar and the Cariboo Regional District completed
studies and agreed to develop a landfill site on waste dumps in an area that
would not be needed for future operation of the mine. The landfill provides
reclamation credits to the land it occupies, as well as revenues. Operations
began in October 2003 and have continued through fiscal 2007.</P>

<P align=justify><B>Prosperity Project </B></P>
<P align=justify><I>Location, Access, and Infrastructure </I></P>
<P align=justify>The Prosperity project consists of 211 mineral claims covering
the mineral rights for approximately 85 square km of south-central British
Columbia, Canada. The property is located at latitude 51&#176; 28&#146; N and longitude
123&#176; 37&#146; W in the Clinton Mining Division, approximately 125 km southwest of the
City of Williams Lake. </P>
<P align=justify>Access from Williams Lake is via Highway #20 to Lee&#146;s Corner,
then via an all-weather main logging haulage road to the site, a total road
distance of 192km. The Canadian National railway services Williams Lake and has
rolling stock available to move copper concentrates by rail to points of sale in
North America. The City of Williams Lake is sufficiently close and is capable of
supplying goods, services, and personnel to a mine. </P>
<P align=justify>Multiple high-voltage transmission lines from the existing
Peace River hydroelectric power grid are situated 118 km east of the Prosperity
project, a natural gas transmission pipeline is situated 112 km northeast of the
Prosperity project, and ample water is available nearby for a mining operation.
</P>
<P align=justify><I>Exploration History </I></P>
<P align=justify>Prospectors discovered mineralization in the 1930&#146;s.
Exploration continued intermittently and by a variety of operators until about
1991, and included extensive IP, magnetic and soil geochemistry surveys, and 176
percussion and diamond drill holes, totaling approximately 27,200 meters. This
work helped define the Prosperity project mineralization to a depth of 200
meters, and outlined a copper-gold mineralized zone approximately 850 m in
diameter. </P>
<P align=justify>Taseko carried out ongoing and systematic exploration programs
from 1991 &#150; 1999, increasing total drilling to 154,631 meters in 452 holes, and
including progressive engineering, metallurgical and environmental studies. </P>
<P align=justify>The Prosperity project hosts a large porphyry gold-copper
deposit. The deposit is predominantly hosted in Cretaceous andesitic
volcaniclastic and volcanic rocks. In the western portion of the deposit, the
host rocks have been intruded by the multi-phase, steeply dipping Fish Creek
Stock. The stock is surrounded by an east-west trending, south dipping swarm of
subparallel quartz-feldspar porphyritic dykes. The stock and dykes comprise the
Late Cretaceous Fish Lake Intrusive Complex that is spatially and genetically
related to the deposit. Post mineralization porphyritic diorite occurs as narrow
dykes that cross-cut all host rocks. The central portion of the deposit is cut
by two major faults, striking north-south and dipping steeply to the west. </P>
<P align=justify>Pyrite and chalcopyrite are the principal sulphide minerals in
the deposit. They are uniformly distributed in disseminations, fracture
fillings, veins and veinlets and may be accompanied by bornite and lesser
molybdenite and tetrahedrite-tenantite. Native gold occurs as inclusions in and
along microfractures with copper-bearing minerals and pyrite. </P>

clearing; site infrastructure, processing facility, and tailings starter dam
construction; removal and storage of overburden; and pre-production development.
</P>
<P align=justify>The mine plan contemplates a large-scale conventional truck and

including processing of lower grade ore is 0.8:1. </P>
<P align=justify>The Prosperity Project processing plant has been designed with
a nominal capacity of 70,000 tonnes per day. The plant consists of a single

    <TD align=left>
      <P align=justify>The Prosperity Feasibility Study was prepared to quantify
      the Prosperity project's capital and operating cost parameters and to
      determine the project's likelihood of feasibility and optimal production
      rate. The capital and operating cost estimates, which were used have been
      developed based on detailed capital cost to production level
      relationships. <BR><BR>The following are the principal risk factors and
      uncertainties which, in management's opinion, are likely to most directly
      affect the ultimate feasibility of the Prosperity project. The mineralized
      material at the Prosperity project is currently classified as a measured
      and indicated resource, and a portion of it qualifies under Canadian
      mining disclosure standards as a proven and probable reserve, but readers
      are cautioned that no part of the Prosperity project&#146;s mineralization is
      yet considered to be a reserve under US mining standards as all necessary
      mining permits would be required in order to classify the project&#146;s
      mineralized material as an economically exploitable reserve. Although
      final feasibility work has been done to confirm the mine design, mining
      methods and processing methods assumed in the Feasibility Study,
      construction and operation of the mine and processing facilities depend on
      securing environmental and other permits on a timely basis. There can be
      no assurance that any other required permits can be secured or secured on
      a timely basis. Although costs, including design, procurement,
      construction and on-going operating costs and metal recoveries have been
      established at a level of detail required for a feasibility study, these
      could be materially different from those contained in the Feasibility
      Study. There can be no assurance that these infrastructure facilities can
      be developed on a timely and cost-effective basis. Energy risks include
      the potential for significant increases in the cost of fuel and
      electricity. The Feasibility Study assumes specified, long-term prices
      levels for gold and copper. The prices of these metals have historically
      been volatile, and the Company has no control of or influence on the
      prices, which are determined in international markets. There can be no
      assurance that the price of gold and copper will continue at current
      levels or that these prices will not decline below the prices assumed in
      the Feasibility Study. Prices for gold and copper have been below the
      price ranges assumed in Feasibility Study at times during the past ten
      years, and for extended periods of time. The project will require major
      financing, probably a combination of debt and equity financing. Although
      interest rates are at historically low levels, there can be no assurance
      that debt and/or equity financing will be available on acceptable terms.
      Other general risks include those ordinary to very large construction
      projects, including the general uncertainties inherent in engineering and
      construction cost, the need to comply with generally increasing
      environmental obligations, and accommodation of local and community
      concerns. </P></TD></TR></TABLE></DIV>

drilling. Consolidated Cinola Mines Ltd. acquired the ground in 1977 and, with
partners, carried out detailed drilling totalling 30,116 meters in 231 holes by
1984. In 1981, 465 meters of an underground drift and crosscuts were excavated
for a metallurgical bulk sample. A 45 tonne per day pilot mill was established
to treat about 5,200 tonnes of material and in 1982 a feasibility study for a
10,000-15,000 tonnes per day operation was completed. From 1986 to 1988, City
Resources drilled 83 diamond drill holes and 64 reverse-circulation drill holes,
totalling 13,356 meters, and completed 117.6 meters of underground development
to obtain a bulk sample, conducted bench scale metallurgical testing, and
developed open pit scenarios for the project. Barrack Gold of Australia acquired
City Resources and the project in 1989, however Barrack subsequently was put
into Bankruptcy and City Resources was acquired in the early 1990&#146;s by a new
group of investors who renamed the company to Misty Mountain Gold Ltd.</P>
<P align=justify>Additional drilling, metallurgical and engineering studies were
carried out from 1989-1999. In 1997, preliminary mine planning by Independent
Mining Consultants Inc. of Tucson, Arizona resulted in an estimated of in-pit
material of 64 million tonnes grading 1.52 grams Au/tonne using a 0.60 grams
Au/tonne cut-off, with an overall waste to ore stripping ratio of 0.82 tonnes of
waste to 1 tonne of ore. </P>
<P align=justify><I>Geology and Mineralization </I></P>
<P align=justify>The Harmony property hosts the Specogna epithermal gold
deposit, controlled by the Sandspit fault. Dacite dykes of Tertiary age have
intruded along the fault. Contemporaneous, pervasive silicification,
hydrothermal brecciation, stockwork and banded quartz veining and gold
mineralization have developed along the hanging wall of the fault. This extends
for a strike distance of at least 800 meters, eastwards from the fault at least
200 meters and to a depth of at least 240 meters. Pyrite and marcasite are the
dominant metallic minerals. Gold occurs as native gold and electrum, which are
commonly visible. Silver is also present as an alloy with gold.</P>
<P align=justify><I>Sampling and Analysis </I></P>
<P align=justify>Details of sampling and analysis of drill cores are described
in the 2004 Annual Information Form. Sample pulps are stored in the Company&#146;s
warehouse at Port Kells, BC. Drill core is stored at site. </P>
<P align=justify><I>Estimates of Mineralization </I></P>
<P align=justify>In 1997, M. Nowak, P.Eng., estimated the resources in the
deposit. The estimate was reviewed by Nowak et al in 2001 and the resources were
classified in 2001. The measured and indicated resources are estimated to be 64
million tonnes grading 1.53 grams Au/tonne, containing approximately 3 million

million tonnes grading 1.04 grams Au/tonne. The estimates were done at a 0.60
grams Au/tonne cut-off.</P>
<P align=justify><I>Aboriginal (or &#147;First Nations&#148;) Issues </I></P>
<P align=justify>The Queen Charlotte Islands-Haida Gwaii, including the area
surrounding the Harmony Gold Project, is subject to aboriginal peoples&#146; land
claims. Aboriginal land claims are subject to the B.C. Treaty Commission
Legislation and the B.C. Treaty Commission, both established in 1993.</P>
<P align=justify><I>Plans for 2008 </I></P>
<P align=justify>In late 2007, after completion of the Queen Charlotte-Haida
Gwaii Land and Resource Management Plan designated the area in which the Harmony
Project is located as a mineral development zone, Taseko initiated a review of
the metallurgical flow sheet and prior mine development planning to establish
further work programs. Plans are being developed to move the Project forward in
2008. </P>
<P align=justify><B>Aley Niobium Project </B></P>
<P align=justify><I>Property Acquisition </I></P>
<P align=justify>In June 2007, Taseko acquired 100% of the Aley niobium project
in northern British Columbia through the acquisition of all the issued and
outstanding shares in the capital of a private company, for a total cash
consideration of $1,500,000 and 894,730 common shares valued at $2,970,000.
Taseko purchased the residual net smelter royalty for a total cash consideration
of $300,000 and the issuance of units having a value of $835,200 (consisting of
240,000 common shares and 120,000 warrants). Each warrant is exercisable for one
common share at $3.48 until June 4, 2009.</P>
<P align=justify>Niobium is a metal used in making high strength steels required
in the manufacture of automobiles, bridges, pipes, jet turbines and other high
technology applications. The metal is currently selling for $30/kg and the
market is growing at 5-8% per year. Currently, the world supply is dominated by
only two producers: CBMM, a Brazilian miner and Iamgold which operates the
Niobec Mine in Quebec. </P>
<P align=justify><I>Location, Access and Infrastructure </I></P>
<P align=justify>The property is located in the Omineca Mining Division in
British Columbia, Canada, centred at Latitude 56 degrees 27 minutes north and
longitude 123 degrees 13 minutes west. Logging roads from Mackenzie, BC lead to
the Ospika Logging Camp on the east side of Williston Lake. The property is
located near the shore of the lake, about 30 kilometers from the Ospika Camp and
is currently accessed via helicopter.</P>
<P align=justify><I>Property Description</I> </P>
<P align=justify>The property consists of 11 contiguous claim blocks in good
standing that cover 5,632 hectares.</P>
<P align=justify><I>History </I></P>
<P align=justify>A previous operator identified six zones from surface
exploration, which included mapping, sampling and trenching. Twenty holes,
totaling 3,058 meters were drilled in 1985-86. Of these, 16 were drilled in the
Saddle, Saddle West and Central zones. Grades of 0.51 - 0.95%<SUP>
Nb</SUP>2<SUP>0</SUP>5<SUP> were encountered over intervals of </SUP>15-80
meters. </P>

<P align=justify>In 2004, another operator took samples from trenches for
metallurgical testing. Approximately 1200 kilograms of material was collected
from three sites &#150; two in the Central zone and one from the Saddle zone. Sample
analysis was done by Process Research Associates (PRA), and test work was
similar to that developed for the Niobec mine in Quebec. The test work included
de-sliming, magnetic separation, carbonate rougher flotation, niobium rougher
and scavenger flotation, and the first and second niobium rougher and cleaner
flotation stages. Enough work was completed to bench mark reagent use and
operating conditions for unit processes. The preliminary work indicated that
recoveries of approximately 65% were achievable. </P>
<P align=justify><I>Geology</I> </P>
<P align=justify>The Aley property hosts an ovoid carbonatite complex, 4.4
kilometers in diameter, that intruded Cambro-Ordovician sedimentary rocks in mid
Mississippian time. Two major units &#150; an outer quartz-albite syenite and an
inner carbonatite core &#150; define the complex. The syenite comprises massive units
and breccias, and the carbonatite has both dolomite and calcite phases. Niobium
(Nb) occurs in the mineral pyrochlore, as crystals that precipitated from the
carbonatite magmas, and has also been altered to other niobium bearing minerals
such as fersmite (Nb-oxide) and columbite (Fe-bearing Nb-Tantalum oxide).
Niobium mineralization occurs in subvertical to moderately inclined bands that
probably formed at the edges of the magma chamber, and which were elongated
during intrusion into the sedimentary rocks.</P>
<P align=justify>Of the six known mineralized zones, the best results were
derived from the Saddle, Saddle West (which appears to be an offshoot of the
Saddle zone) and Central zones. The Saddle/Saddle West zone appears to be
fersmite/pyrochlore rich whereas the Central zone hosts columbite mineralization
associated with magnetite.</P>
<P align=justify><I>Plans for 2008 </I></P>
<P align=justify>Taseko completed an initial exploration program on the Aley
deposit in 2007 that included 11 diamond drill holes to check the results of the
1985-86 drilling program and to plan for the next phase of exploration work. In
the summer of 2008, the planned program includes up to 50,000 feet (15,000
meters) of exploration and 10,000 feet (3,000 meters) of geotechnical core
drilling, development of road access, a trenching and bulk sampling program, and
environmental baseline studies. </P>

<P align=center>- 23 - </P>
<P align=justify><B>RISK FACTORS </B></P>
<P align=justify>The principal risks affecting the value of Taseko&#146;s Common
Share are<B><I>: </I></B></P>
<P align=justify><B><I>Metals Prices </I></B>Taseko&#146;s Gibraltar mine has been a
&#147;swing producer<B><I>&#148; </I></B>meaning it has been a mine which is economic to
operate only when copper prices are relatively high. This is because by world
standards, Gibraltar mines low grade ore. Mineralization referred to herein as
&#147;reserves&#148; at Gibraltar may lose that status if copper prices return to
near<B><I> </I></B>historical lows (sub US$1.25/lb copper). Low metals prices
will also adversely impact the likelihood that Prosperity or Harmony will
achieve commercial mine development.</P>
<P align=justify><B><I>Development of Reserves </I></B>The Company's ability to
sustain or increase its current levels of copper and molybdenum production is
dependent upon the successful development of additional reserves at the
Gibraltar mine. If the Company is unable to develop the newly identified ore
zones, it will not be able to sustain present production levels beyond the
current developed pits at the Gibraltar mine. Reduced production could have a
material adverse impact on future years&#146; cash flows, results of operations and
financial condition of the Company.</P>
<P align=justify><B><I>Taseko&#146;s Prosperity Property has mineral reserves but is
currently under environmental assessment review </I></B>A feasibility study of
the Prosperity Property was completed in September 2007, the results of which
include mineral reserves at long term metal prices. However the project is
currently under an environmental assessment review process that is required to
gain a mine development certificate. Failure to obtain a permit in a timely
manner could negatively affect the Company&#146;s share price. </P>
<P align=justify><B><I>Taseko&#146;s Harmony and Aley Properties Contain No Known
Reserves of Ore </I></B>Although there are known bodies of mineralization on the
Harmony and Aley Properties there are currently no known reserves or body of
commercially viable ore and additional work is required before Taseko can
ascertain if any mineralization may be economic. Exploration for minerals is a
speculative venture necessarily involving substantial risk. If the expenditures
Taseko makes on these properties do not result in discoveries of commercial
quantities of ore, the value of exploration and acquisition expenditures will be
totally lost and the value of Taseko stock could be negatively impacted. </P>
<P align=justify><B><I>Exchange Rate Risk </I></B>The Company is subject to
currency exchange rate risk. The prices of copper and molybdenum oxide are
denominated in United States dollars and, accordingly, the Company&#146;s revenues
will be received in United States dollars. The Company&#146;s expenses are almost
entirely in Canadian dollars, which has recently shown strength against the
United States dollar. The Company currently does not engage in foreign exchange
hedging. The further strengthening in the Canadian dollar, if it continues, will
negatively impact the profitability of the Company&#146;s mining operations.</P>
<P align=justify><B><I>Uncertain Project Realization Values </I></B>Taseko
capitalizes acquisition costs incurred in connection with its projects. Due to
the extended depressed price conditions in the metals markets of recent years,
and in accordance with its accounting policy, the Company wrote down the
acquisition costs of each of the Prosperity and Gibraltar projects to $1,000
during fiscal 2001. As a result of inactivity and low gold prices, the Company
wrote down the Harmony Project to $1,000 in fiscal 2004. </P>
<P align=justify><B><I>General Mining Risks </I></B>Mining is an inherently
risky business with large capital expenditures and cyclical metals markets.
Factors beyond the control of Taseko will affect the marketability of any
substances discovered and mined. The mining industry in general is intensely
competitive and there is no assurance that, even if commercial quantities of ore
are discovered at Prosperity and Harmony, a profitable market will exist for the
sale of minerals produced by Taseko. Factors beyond the control of Taseko may
affect the marketability of any substances discovered. Metal prices, in
particular copper, molybdenum and gold </P>

<P align=justify>prices, have fluctuated widely in recent years. Prices are
determined in international markets over which the Company has no influence.
</P>
<P align=justify>The operations of Taseko may require licenses and permits from
various governmental authorities. There can be no assurances that Taseko will be
able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry
out exploration, development and operations at its projects. </P>
<P align=justify>Although the Company maintains high environmental standards for
all of its projects, public concerns about mining in general are also a factor
that may affect Taseko.</P>
<P align=justify>Taseko also competes with many companies possessing far greater
financial resources and technical facilities for the acquisition of mineral
concessions, claims, leases and other mineral interests, as well as for the
recruitment and retention of qualified employees. </P>
<P align=justify>Additional mining risks include the following: reserves may not
be as estimated, adverse ground conditions, adverse weather conditions,
potential labor problems, and availability and cost of equipment and supplies.
</P>
<P align=justify><B><I>Taseko&#146;s Share Price is Volatile </I></B>The market
  price of a publicly traded stock, especially a resource issuer like Taseko,
  is affected by many variables, including the market for resource stocks, the
  strength of the economy, the availability and attractiveness of alternative
  investments, and the breadth of the public market for the stock. The effect
  of these and other factors on the market price of the common shares on the TSX
  and the American Stock Exchange suggests Taseko&#146;s shares will continue
  to be volatile. Taseko shares have ranged between approximately Cdn$0.36 and
  Cdn$20.00 in the last 15 years.</P>
<P align=justify><B><I>Environmental Considerations </I></B>The $32.9 million
(in 2005 dollars) in existing reclamation liability related to the Gibraltar
mine, and potential acid rock drainage issues at the Harmony and Prosperity
projects, if developed, are the main environmental concerns relating to Taseko.
Mining always entails risk of spills, pollution, reclamation, and other
liabilities and obligations which like other mining companies, may adversely
affect Taseko. If these challenges are not properly assessed or if rules change
that increase responsibility for such matters, Taseko could be materially
adversely affected. </P>
<P align=justify><B><I>Significant Potential Equity Dilution </I></B>Taseko had
5,678,834 share purchase options in-the-money at December 13, 2007. In addition,
Taseko has a significant number of share purchase options (5,678,834), shares
potentially issuable on conversion of the Boliden Debenture (currently 3,307,393
shares, see Item 5, Gibraltar Mine Acquisition Terms), convertible bonds
(8,955,244) and on conversion of the Preferred Shares issued for the Harmony
project as described under Item 7 below. All of the foregoing will likely act as
an upside constraint on the trading price of Taseko&#146;s shares. The unrestricted
resale of outstanding shares from the exercise of dilutive securities, including
the Boliden Debenture, may have a depressing effect on the market for Taseko&#146;s
shares. </P>

<P align=justify>There have been no changes in the classification of common
shares (reclassifications, consolidations, reverse splits or the like) within
the previous five years. All common shares of Taseko rank pari passu (i.e.
equally) for the payment of any dividends and distributions in the event of a

Common Shares) </B></P>
<P align=justify>A subsidiary of Taseko, Gibraltar Mines Ltd., has 12,483,916
series "A" non-voting tracking preferred shares authorized, and all of these
have been issued to Continental Minerals Corporation (previously named Misty
Mountain Gold Limited) as part of the Company's acquisition of the Harmony Gold
Property. All Gibraltar&#146;s common shares are owned by Taseko.</P>
<P align=justify>The tracking preferred shares are designed to track and capture
the value of the Harmony Gold Property and will be redeemed for common shares of
Taseko upon a realization event, such as a sale to a third party or commercial
production at the Harmony Gold Property, or at the option of Gibraltar, if a
realization event has not occurred within ten years. The tracking preferred
shares are redeemable at specified prices per common share of Taseko starting at
$3.39 and escalating by $0.25 per year, currently at $5.14 (as of September 30,
2007). If a realization event does not occur on or before October 16, 2011,
Gibraltar has the right to redeem the tracking preferred shares for Taseko
common shares at a deemed price equal to the greater of the average 20 day
trading price of the common shares of Taseko and $10.00. The Taseko common
shares to be issued to Continental upon a realization event will in turn be
distributed pro-rata, after adjustment for any taxes, to the holders of
redeemable preferred shares of Continental that were issued to Continental
shareholders at the time of the Arrangement Agreement. </P>

<P align=justify>Taseko is currently involved in a proceeding whereby it has
advised the current owner of the Boliden debenture of its intention to claim a
right of offset in the amount of approximately $3.5 million in connection with
the terms of the 1999 acquisition agreements. The parties are in discussion and
the outcome is currently not determinable. </P>
<P align=justify>In April of 2006, Gibraltar obtained a permit under the
<I>Environmental Management Act </I>to release water from its tailings
impoundment into the Fraser River. That Permit is currently the subject of an
appeal to the Environmental Appeal Board by an aboriginal group in the Williams
Lake area. That appeal is presently partly completed, with five days of evidence
having been heard in Williams Lake in December 2006, and a further eight to ten
days of evidence in January 2007. While the Respondent to the appeal is the
Director under the <I>Environmental Management Act</I>, Gibraltar has
participated in the appeal as an affected party. Although the outcome of
litigation can never be predicted with certainty, the assessment of management
is that it is most likely that the permit will be upheld. If the permit were not
upheld then the assessment of management is that the most likely result would be
that Gibraltar's ability to discharge the water would be delayed for a period of
time, rather than never being able to discharge water at all. </P>

<P align=justify><B>Internal Controls over Financial Reporting Procedures
</B></P>
<P align=justify>The management of the Company is responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting. The
Company&#146;s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance
to the Company&#146;s management and the board of directors regarding the preparation
and fair presentation of published financial statements. Internal control over
financial reporting includes </P>
<HR style="PAGE-BREAK-AFTER: always" align=center width="100%" color=black
noShade SIZE=5>
<A name=page_40></A>
<P align=center>- 39 - </P>
<P align=justify>those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the
maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect
the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company (2) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts
and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors of the Company and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use or disposition of the Company&#146;s assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements. All internal control systems, no
matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those
systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with
respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.</P>
<P align=justify>The Company&#146;s management, with the participation of the Chief
Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the
framework and criteria established in Internal Control &#150; Integrated Framework,
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Based on this evaluation, our management has concluded that internal control
over financial reporting was effective as of September 30, 2007 to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP.</P>
<P align=justify>During the year ended September 30, 2007, the Company completed
the implementation of a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system at one of
its subsidiaries, Gibraltar Mines Ltd (&#147;Gibraltar&#148;). In connection with this ERP
system implementation, the Company updated its internal controls over financial
reporting, as necessary, to accommodate modifications to its business processes
and accounting procedures. Gibraltar&#146;s financial statements constitute
approximately 52% of the Company&#146;s total assets and 100% of net sales as of the
year ended September 30, 2007. Other than the system implementation at
Gibraltar, no other changes in internal controls over financial reporting
occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected or
are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company&#146;s internal control over
financial reporting. </P>
<P align=justify><B>Disclosure Controls and Procedures </B></P>
<P align=justify>As of the end of the period covered by this report, our
management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
under the <I>Securities Exchange Act of 1934</I> (the &#147;Exchange Act&#148;)). Based
upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing,
summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be
disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act. </P>
<P align=justify>While our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial
Officer believe that our disclosure controls and procedures provide a reasonable
level of assurance of effectiveness, they do not expect that our disclosure
controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will
prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or
operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the
objectives of the control system will be met.</P>

<P align=justify>To the Board of Directors of Taseko Mines Limited</P>
<P align=justify>On December 13, 2007, we reported on the consolidated balance
  sheets of Taseko Mines Limited ("the Company") as at September 30, 2007 and
  2006 and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income,
  shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
  period ended September 30, 2007 which are included in the annual report on Form
  40-F. In connection with our audits of the aforementioned consolidated financial
  statements, we also have audited the related supplemental note entitled "Reconciliation
  with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" included in the
  Form 40-F. This supplemental note is the responsibility of the Company's management.
  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this supplemental note based
  on our audits. </P>
<P align=justify>In our opinion, such supplemental note, when considered in relation
  to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly,
  in all material respects, the information set forth therein. </P>

<P align=justify>To the Board of Directors of Taseko Mines Limited</P>
<P align=justify>We have audited Taseko Mine Limited's ("the Company") internal
  control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2007 based on the criteria
  established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee
  of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's
  management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial
  reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over
  financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion the Company's
  internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. </P>
<P align=justify>We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the
  Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
  that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
  effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
  respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control
  over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists,
  and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal
  control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such
  other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe
  that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. </P>
<P align=justify>A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process
  designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
  reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes
  in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal
  control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
  (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately
  and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
  (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary
  to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
  accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are
  being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors
  of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or
  timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's
  assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.</P>
<P align=justify>Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
  reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any
  evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls
  may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
  compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. </P>

<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 10%" align=justify>In June 2001, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (&#147;FASB&#148;) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
143, &#147;<I>Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations</I>&#148; (&#147;SFAS 143&#148;). SFAS 143
requires the Company to record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation
as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated
with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the
acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the assets. The
Company also records a corresponding asset which is amortized over the life of
the asset. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset retirement
obligation, the obligation will be adjusted at the end of each period to reflect
the passage of time (accretion expense) and changes in the estimated future cash
flows underlying the obligation (asset retirement cost). For purposes of the
reconciliation, the Company adopted SFAS 143 effective October 1, 2002.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 10%" align=justify>Under US GAAP, on adoption of SFAS 143
on October 1, 2002, the Company would have recorded income of $11,651,262 as the
cumulative effect of the change in accounting principles, a net decrease of
$2,282,954 to inventories, a net decrease of $10,154,214 to property, plant and
equipment, and a decrease in the provision for site closure and reclamation of
$24,088,430 to reflect the effect of this change in the method of accounting for
asset retirement obligations compared to the amounts previously recorded in the
Company&#146;s consolidated financial statements prepared under Canadian and US
GAAP.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 10%" align=justify>Effective October 1, 2004, the Company
adopted the new Canadian accounting standard for asset retirement obligations,
which is substantively the same as SFAS 143. On adoption of the Canadian
standard, the amount of the adjustment to site closure and reclamation was
measured retroactively and recognized on October 1, 2004. </P>
<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 10%" align=justify>There were certain changes in the
Company&#146;s estimate of future cash flows underlying the obligation during fiscal
2005 and 2004 which have been incorporated into the Company&#146;s retroactive
adoption of the Canadian standard on October 1, 2004. However, pursuant to US
GAAP, and due to the earlier adoption of SFAS 143 in fiscal 2003, changes in
estimates of future cash flows underlying the obligation are recognized on a
prospective basis. Accordingly, under US GAAP, property, plant and equipment
(net of amortization) would increase for the year ended September 30, 2007 by
$4,406 (2006 &#150;$4,582).</P>

        Disposal of Long-Lived Assets&#148; </I>(&#147;SFAS 144&#148;). SFAS 144
        addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal
        of long-lived assets. This statement requires that long-lived assets be
        reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
        that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability
        of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying
        amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by
        the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future
        cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which
        the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
        SFAS 144 also broadens the definition of discontinued operations to include
        all distinguishable components of an entity that will be eliminated from
        ongoing operations. The Company adopted SFAS 144 on October 1, 2002, on
