<P align=justify><B>February 21, 2018, Vancouver, BC </B>&#150; Taseko Mines Limited
(TSX: TKO; NYSE American: TGB) ("Taseko" or the "Company") reports financial
results for the fourth quarter and full year ending December 31, 2017.</P>
<P align=justify>Russell Hallbauer, President and CEO of Taseko, commented,
&#147;2017 was an excellent year for Taseko, demonstrated by the $211 million of cash
flow from operations and $164 million of EBITDA for the year, with $32 million
and $22 million, respectively, coming in the fourth quarter. Over the past three
months, copper prices have averaged approximately US$3.15 per pound, which is
30% higher than where it was at the beginning of 2017. Additionally, molybdenum
prices are 50% higher today over the same period and are now over US$12 per
pound. Given this higher metal pricing environment, our financial performance is
expected to continue into 2018, allowing us to invest in and advance our
projects. I cannot stress enough how important it is to have a long life cash
flowing asset, such as Gibraltar, as the foundation upon which to build a
successful company.&#148;</P>
<P align=justify>Mr. Hallbauer continued, &#147;In addition to our financial
successes in 2017, we achieved a number of important milestones during the year,
on both corporate and operational levels. Our balance sheet was greatly
strengthened after completing a new, long-term debt financing, Gibraltar had one
of its strongest production years ever and we made significant strides forward
on our Florence Copper project.&#148;</P>
<P align=justify>&#147;Our Florence Copper project has been advancing on-time and on
budget. We now have nearly 80% of the test wellfield completed and construction
crews broke ground on the SX/EW plant in January. Pre-leaching of the deposit
and commissioning of the SX/EW plant are expected to begin in the third quarter,
with first cathode production before the end of 2018. We will be evaluating the
operating data from the wellfield while we complete permit amendments for the
full scale production facility,&#148; added Mr. Hallbauer. </P>
<P align=justify>&#147;2017 was not without its challenges, the most significant
being the major wildfires in the BC Cariboo region this past summer. During
these wildfires, we maintained production with reduced operations personnel for
a lengthy period and also had a complete shutdown of the mine for several days
in July &#150; this had an immediate impact on mine production but, more importantly,
impacted our mine plan sequencing which has continued to affect production into
the first quarter of 2018. Taking this into account, the first quarter will be
similar to the fourth quarter in terms of grade and copper production. Looking
beyond the first quarter, with higher stripping rates and transition into the
new ore zone completed, copper grade will increase and we expect the average
copper grade for 2018 to be in line with Gibraltar&#146;s life of mine average
grade.&#148; concluded Mr. Hallbauer. </P>

<P align=justify><B>2017 Annual Highlights </B></P>
<UL style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">
  <LI>
  <P>Earnings from mining operations before depletion and amortization* was
  $177.7 million, a significant increase over the $54.7 million in 2016 due to
  higher copper and molybdenum production, lower costs and stronger metal
  prices; </P>
  <LI>
  <P>The Company generated cash flows from operations of $211.1 million, up from
  $33.9 million in 2016; </P>
  <LI>
  <P>Higher throughput and grades in 2017 resulted in strong copper and
  molybdenum production of 141.2 million pounds and 2.6 million pounds (100%
  basis), an increase of 6% and 178%, respectively, over 2016; </P>
  <LI>
  <P>Net income for the year was $34.3 million, or $0.15 per share, and Adjusted
  net income* was $41.4 million, or $0.18 per share; </P>
  <LI>
  <P>The cash balance at the end of 2017 was $80.2 million, slightly lower than
  the end of 2016 as the Company used $72 million of cash to complete a
  refinancing and reduce long-term debt in June 2017; </P>
  <LI>
  <P>Site operating costs* were US$1.09 per pound produced, and Total operating
  costs (C1)* were US$1.43 per pound produced, reductions of 28% and 23%,
  respectively, over 2016 unit costs; </P>
  <LI>
  <P>In March the Company completed a US$33 million streaming agreement with
  Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd. for Taseko&#146;s 75% share of payable silver production
  from the Gibraltar Mine; </P>
  <LI>
  <P>In April 2017, the Company announced that a new long-term agreement was
  ratified by its unionized employees at Gibraltar. The new agreement will be
  effective through May 31, 2021; </P>
  <LI>
  <P>In June 2017, the Company completed an offering of US$250 million aggregate
  principal amount of 8.75% senior secured notes due 2022. The Company used the
  net proceeds of the offering and $72 million of its existing cash balance to
  fund the redemption of its US$200 million senior notes due 2019 and to repay
  its senior secured credit facility (due March 2019) and the related copper
  call option; </P>
  <LI>
  <P>In July 2017, Gibraltar&#146;s mining and milling operations were impacted by
  wildfires in the Cariboo region which limited our employees&#146; ability to travel
  to the mine site, due to restrictions on road access and evacuation orders in
  the region; and </P>
  <LI>
  <P>In September 2017, the Company announced that it had received all necessary
  state and federal permits to build and operate the Florence Copper Production
  Test Facility (&#147;PTF&#148;) in Arizona, and the Company&#146;s board of directors had
  approved the construction of the PTF at an estimated cost of US$25 million.

<P align=justify><B>Fourth Quarter 2017 Highlights - Continued </B></P>
<UL style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">
  <LI>
  <P>Copper and molybdenum production in the fourth quarter was 25.5 million
  pounds and 0.5 million pounds, respectively, a decrease from previous quarters
  as a result of the anticipated lower grade mine feed combined with the
  increased use of lower grade ore stockpiles, a consequence of the summer
  wildfires; </P>
  <LI>
  <P>The increased use of stockpiled ore resulted in a non-cash inventory
  expense and additional depletion and amortization which reduced earnings from
  mining operations by $10.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2017; </P>
  <LI>
  <P>Site operating costs, net of by-product credits* were US$1.69 per pound
  produced and Total operating costs (C1)* were US$2.11 per pound produced.
  Spending in the quarter remained at a similar level as previous quarter but
  unit costs were impacted by the lower grades and production; and </P>
  <LI>
  <P>Total sales (100% basis) for the quarter were 32.0 million pounds of copper
  and 0.6 million pounds of molybdenum. </P></LI></UL>

<P align=justify>Gibraltar&#146;s copper production in 2017 was 141.2 million pounds,
a 6% increase over 2016 due to higher average head grades and increased mill
throughput. Mining and milling operations in July and August were impacted by
wildfires in the Cariboo region which limited our employees&#146; ability to travel
to the mine site, resulting in reduced mine and mill production for periods of
time as well as a complete mine shutdown for several days. </P>
<P align=justify>A total of 93.1 million tons were mined in the year at a strip
ratio of 3.4 to 1. Waste stripping costs of $69.0 million (75% basis) were
capitalized in 2017, an increase over the $9.2 million capitalized in 2016, as a
new pushback in the Granite pit was initiated in the current year. Approximately
8.5 million tons of ore were drawn from ore stockpiles during the year. </P>

<P align=justify>Site operating costs per pound* for the year were US$1.22 per
pound of copper produced, a 23% reduction from 2016, primarily due to the higher
copper production and increased capitalization of stripping costs in 2017.</P>
<P align=justify>Molybdenum production for 2017 was approximately 2.6 million
pounds, resulting in by-product credits per pound produced* of US $0.13, an
increase from US$0.06 in the prior year. </P>
<P align=justify>Off property costs per pound produced* were US$0.34 per pound
of copper produced, consistent with US$0.33 per pound produced in 2016.
Long-term contracts for treatment and refining costs and ocean freight were
completed in 2016.</P>
<P align=justify>Total operating costs (C1)* decreased to US$1.43 per pound for
the year, compared to US$1.85 per pound in 2016. </P>
<P align=justify><I>Fourth quarter results </I></P>
<P align=justify>Fourth quarter copper production at Gibraltar was 25.5 million
pounds, lower than the previous quarters in 2017 as a result of reduced head
grades. Although a reduction in head grade was expected in the mine plan, head
grade was further affected by reduced waste stripping in the third quarter as a
result of the summer wildfires in the Cariboo region whereby more mill feed came
from the stockpile than planned. Copper head grade at Gibraltar was 0.209% in
the fourth quarter. The low head grades and some oxidation from stockpile also
impacted copper recoveries which averaged 78% for the period.</P>
<P align=justify>A total of 26.9 million tons were mined during the quarter at a
strip ratio of 4.9 to 1. Waste stripping costs of $17.5 million (75% basis) were
capitalized in the quarter related to the new pushback in the Granite pit.
Approximately 4.3 million tons of ore were drawn from the ore stockpile in the
fourth quarter. </P>
<P align=justify>Site operating cost per ton milled* was $7.68 in the fourth
quarter of 2017, which is higher than the third quarter primarily due to the
decreased capitalization of stripping costs.</P>
<P align=justify>Site operating costs per pound produced* increased to US$1.86
in the fourth quarter of 2017 from US$0.97 in the third quarter of 2017. The
increase is due to the lower copper production and lower capitalized stripping
costs during the fourth quarter. A total of 0.6 million pounds of molybdenum
were sold resulting in by-product credits per pound produced* of US$0.17 in the
fourth quarter. </P>
<P align=justify>Off-property costs per pound produced* were US$0.42 for the
fourth quarter of 2017 compared to the prior quarter off-property costs of
US$0.30. The increase is due to the higher sales volumes, as treatment and
refining and ocean freight costs are recognized at the time of sale.</P>
<P align=justify>Total operating costs (C1) per pound* increased to US$2.11, a
79% increase from the third quarter of 2017.</P>
<P align=justify><I>Health and Safety Milestones </I></P>
<P align=justify>Health and safety have always been a high-level commitment for
Taseko, Gibraltar, and Florence management. Taseko is committed to operational
practices that result in improved efficiencies, safety performance and
occupational health. Nothing is more important to the Company than the safety,

CONTINUED</FONT></B><B> </B></P>
<P align=justify>Gibraltar&#146;s 2017 loss time frequency was 0.59 per one million
man hours worked, below the British Columbia mining industry average of
1.06.</P>
<P align=justify>In February 2017, the Province of British Columbia Ministry of
Energy and Mines awarded Gibraltar with the 2016 John Ash award at the 55th
Annual Mine Safety Awards held in Victoria, BC, for the third year in a row.
This prestigious award goes to the mining operation in British Columbia that has
worked at least one million hours during the year with the lowest
injury-frequency rate.</P>
<P align=justify>As site activities ramp up at the Florence PTF we are pleased
to report that there were no lost time accidents in 2017. </P>
<P align=justify><B><FONT color=#0080ff>GIBRALTAR OUTLOOK</FONT></B></P>
<P align=justify>During the summer wildfires, the Gibraltar Mine maintained
production with reduced operations personnel for a lengthy period and also had a
complete shutdown for several days in July. This had an immediate impact on mine
production but, more importantly, impacted mine plan sequencing which has
continued to affect copper production into the first quarter of 2018. Taking
this into account, head grades and copper production in the first quarter of
2018 will be similar to the fourth quarter of 2017. Looking beyond the first
quarter, with the higher stripping rates and the transition into the new ore
zone completed, copper grade will increase and we expect the average copper
grade for 2018 to be in line with Gibraltar&#146;s life of mine average grade. </P>
<P align=justify>Copper markets have shown continued strength in early 2018 with
prices rising to US$3.19 per pound as of February 20, 2018. Molybdenum prices
have also continued to strengthen in the first quarter of 2018, increasing to
US$12.33 per pound as of February 20, 2018, which is 40% higher than the average
molybdenum price in the fourth quarter of 2017. The Company continues to review
engineering plans for a potential mill expansion at Gibraltar. </P>
<P align=justify>The Company is pursuing an insurance claim related to the
Cariboo region wildfires in July 2017. The amount of the claim cannot be
determined at this time, but could be in the range of $3 to $10 million.</P>
<P align=justify><B><FONT color=#0080ff>REVIEW OF PROJECTS</FONT></B></P>
<P align=justify>Taseko&#146;s strategy has been to grow the Company by leveraging
cash flow from the Gibraltar Mine to assemble and develop a pipeline of
projects. We continue to believe this will generate the best, long-term returns
for shareholders. Our development projects are located in British Columbia and
Arizona and represent a diverse range of metals, including gold, copper,
molybdenum and niobium. Our project focus is currently on the development of the
Florence Copper Project where we incurred expenditures of $15.2 million in 2017
(2016 - $5.0 million). We also spent $1.7 million on the Aley Niobium project in
2017 (2016 - $0.8 million) and $1.7 million on the New Prosperity project (2016
- $1.7 million). Taseko will continue to take a prudent approach to spending on
development projects. </P>

<P align=justify><I>Florence Copper Project </I></P>
<P align=justify>In January 2017, the Company announced that completed technical
work on the Florence property has resulted in a significant improvement in
project economics. The NI 43-101 technical report documenting these results was
filed on <U><FONT color=#0000ff>www.sedar.com</FONT></U> on February 28, 2017.
</P>
<P align=justify>Florence Copper Technical Report Highlights:</P>
<UL style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">

<P align=justify>*The Company expects that the reduced US corporate income tax
rates, announced in December 2017, will have a significant positive impact on
the project&#146;s post-tax net present value. </P>
<P align=justify>In September 2017, the Company announced that it has now
received all necessary state and federal permits to build and operate the
Production Test Facility (&#147;PTF&#148;) and is moving forward with construction of the
PTF at an estimated cost of US$25 million. PTF construction expenditures in the
fourth quarter of 2017 were $5.3 million. The PTF will include a well field
comprised of thirteen commercial scale production wells, numerous monitoring,
observation and point of compliance wells, and an integrated SX/EW plant. The
PTF is expected to be operational in the latter half of 2018.</P>
<P align=justify><I>Aley Niobium Project</I></P>
<P align=justify>In 2014, the Company filed an NI43-101 technical report for the
Aley Niobium Project. Further engineering and metallurgical testwork has been
completed since then which is expected to result in improved project economics.
Environmental monitoring on the project continues and a number of product
marketing initiatives are underway. </P>

</FONT></B></P>
<P align=justify>This document includes certain non-GAAP performance measures
that do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. These measures may
differ from those used by, and may not be comparable to such measures as
reported by, other issuers. The Company believes that these measures are
commonly used by certain investors, in conjunction with conventional IFRS
measures, to enhance their understanding of the Company&#146;s performance. These
measures have been derived from the Company&#146;s financial statements and applied
on a consistent basis. The following tables below provide a reconciliation of
these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measure. </P>
<P align=justify><I>Total operating costs and site operating costs, net of
by-product credits </I></P>
<P align=justify>Total costs of sales include all costs absorbed into inventory,
as well as transportation costs. Site operating costs is calculated by removing
net changes in inventory and depletion and amortization and transportation costs
from cost of sales. Site operating costs, net of by-product credits is
calculated by removing by-product credits from the site operating costs. Site
operating costs, net of by-product credits per pound are calculated by dividing
the aggregate of the applicable costs by copper pounds produced. Total operating
costs per pound is the sum of site operating costs, net of by-product credits
and off-property </P>

<P align=justify><I>EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA </I></P>
<P align=justify>EBITDA represents net earnings before interest, income taxes,
and depreciation. EBITDA is presented because it is an important supplemental
measure of our performance and is frequently used by securities analysts,
investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the
industry, many of which present EBITDA when reporting their results. Issuers of
&#147;high yield&#148; securities also present EBITDA because investors, analysts and
rating agencies consider it useful in measuring the ability of those issuers to
meet debt service obligations. The Company believes EBITDA is an appropriate
supplemental measure of debt service capacity, because cash expenditures on
interest are, by definition, available to pay interest, and tax expense is
inversely correlated to interest expense because tax expense goes down as
deductible interest expense goes up; depreciation is a non-cash charge. </P>
<P align=justify>Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a further supplemental measure
of the Company&#146;s performance and ability to service debt. Adjusted EBITDA is
prepared by adjusting EBITDA to eliminate the impact of a number of items that
are not considered indicative of ongoing operating performance.</P>

<P align=justify>This discussion includes certain statements that may be deemed
"forward-looking statements". All statements in this discussion, other than
statements of historical facts, that address future production, reserve
potential, exploration drilling, exploitation activities, and events or
developments that the Company expects are forward-looking statements. Although
we believe the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are
based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not 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, exploitation and exploration successes, continued availability of
capital and financing and general economic, market or business conditions.
Investors are cautioned that any such statements are not guarantees of future
performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those
projected in the forward-looking statements. All of the forward-looking
statements made in this MD&amp;A are qualified by these cautionary statements.
We disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise,
except to the extent required by applicable law. Further information concerning
risks and uncertainties associated with these forward-looking statements and our
business may be found in our most recent Form 40-F/Annual Information Form on
