VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 20, 2023 - Taseko Mines Limited (TSX: TKO) (NYSE American:
TGB) (LSE: TKO) ("Taseko" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the following
executive management appointments. Richard Tremblay, MBA, P.Eng., has been
appointed Chief Operating Officer, and Terry Morris, P.Eng., has joined Taseko
as Vice President, Operations.
Richard joined Taseko in 2014 as General Manager of the Gibraltar Mine before
transitioning to the corporate leadership team where he has been acting as
Senior Vice President, Operations in recent years. Richard has over 30 years of
mining industry experience focussed on large-scale open pit mining operations
and mineral processing. He has been instrumental in the development of the
Florence Copper Project, including the successful permitting process and
technical de-risking of the project. Richard will continue to have
responsibility for all of Taseko's operations and project development
activities.
Terry Morris is a mining engineer with nearly 20 years of experience in mining
operations management, mine planning, and regulatory compliance. Terry was most
recently with Barrick Gold in mine management roles at Pueblo Viejo in the
Dominican Republic, and the Turquoise Ridge and Phoenix mines in Nevada, USA. He
previously held senior operating and management roles with Peabody Australia,
Westmoreland Coal and Teck Resources.
Stuart McDonald, President and CEO of Taseko, commented, "These changes to our
senior operating team provide additional management capacity to support our
growth plan and strategy of becoming a North America focused, multi-asset copper
producer. Our recent successful permitting and financing milestones are
significant steps towards realizing the full value of our Florence Copper
project, which is now transitioning into the construction phase, with commercial
operations expected in 2025."

This document contains "forward-looking statements" that were based on Taseko's
expectations, estimates and projections as of the dates as of which those
statements were made. Generally, these forward-looking statements can be
identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "outlook",
"anticipate", "project", "target", "believe", "estimate", "expect", "intend",
"should" and similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties
and other factors that may cause the Company's actual results, level of
activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These included but are
not limited to:
· uncertainties about the future market price of copper and the other metals
that we produce or may seek to produce;
· changes in general economic conditions, the financial markets, inflation and
interest rates and in the demand and market price for our input costs, such as
diesel fuel, reagents, steel, concrete, electricity and other forms of energy,
mining equipment, and fluctuations in exchange rates, particularly with respect
to the value of the U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar, and the continued
availability of capital and financing;
· uncertainties resulting from the war in Ukraine, and the accompanying
international response including economic sanctions levied against Russia, which
has disrupted the global economy, created increased volatility in commodity
markets (including oil and gas prices), and disrupted international trade and
financial markets, all of which have an ongoing and uncertain effect on global
economics, supply chains, availability of materials and equipment and execution
timelines for project development;
· uncertainties about the continuing impact of the novel coronavirus ("COVID
-19") and the response of local, provincial, state, federal and international
governments to the ongoing threat of COVID-19, on our operations (including our
suppliers, customers, supply chains, employees and contractors) and economic
conditions generally including rising inflation levels and in particular with
respect to the demand for copper and other metals we produce;
· inherent risks associated with mining operations, including our current
mining operations at Gibraltar, and their potential impact on our ability to
achieve our production estimates;
· uncertainties as to our ability to control our operating costs, including
inflationary cost pressures at Gibraltar without impacting our planned copper
production;
· the risk of inadequate insurance or inability to obtain insurance to cover
material mining or operational risks;
· uncertainties related to the feasibility study for Florence copper project
(the "Florence Copper Project" or "Florence Copper") that provides estimates of
expected or anticipated capital and operating costs, expenditures and economic
returns from this mining project, including the impact of inflation on the
estimated costs related to the construction of the Florence Copper Project and
our other development projects;
· the risk that the results from our operations of the Florence Copper
production test facility ("PTF") and ongoing engineering work including updated
capital and operating costs will negatively impact our estimates for current
projected economics for commercial operations at Florence Copper;
· uncertainties related to the accuracy of our estimates of Mineral Reserves
(as defined below), Mineral Resources (as defined below), production rates and
timing of production, future production and future cash and total costs of
production and milling;
· the risk that we may not be able to expand or replace reserves as our
existing mineral reserves are mined;
· the availability of, and uncertainties relating to the development of,
additional financing and infrastructure necessary for the advancement of our
development projects, including with respect to our ability to obtain any
remaining construction financing potentially needed to move forward with
commercial operations at Florence Copper;
· our ability to comply with the extensive governmental regulation to which
our business is subject;
· uncertainties related to our ability to obtain necessary title, licenses and
permits for our development projects and project delays due to third party
opposition, particularly in respect to Florence Copper that requires one key
regulatory permit from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") in order
to advance to commercial operations;
· our ability to deploy strategic capital and award key contracts to assist
with protecting the Florence Copper project execution plan, mitigating inflation
risk and the potential impact of supply chain disruptions on our construction
schedule and ensuring a smooth transition into construction once the final
permit is received from the EPA;
· uncertainties related to First Nations claims and consultation issues;
· our reliance on rail transportation and port terminals for shipping our
copper concentrate production from Gibraltar;
· uncertainties related to unexpected judicial or regulatory proceedings;
· changes in, and the effects of, the laws, regulations and government
policies affecting our exploration and development activities and mining
operations and mine closure and bonding requirements;
· our dependence solely on our 87.5% interest in Gibraltar (as defined below)
for revenues and operating cashflows;
· our ability to collect payments from customers, extend existing concentrate
off-take agreements or enter into new agreements;
· environmental issues and liabilities associated with mining including
processing and stock piling ore;
· labour strikes, work stoppages, or other interruptions to, or difficulties
in, the employment of labour in markets in which we operate our mine, industrial
accidents, equipment failure or other events or occurrences, including third
party interference that interrupt the production of minerals in our mine;
· environmental hazards and risks associated with climate change, including
the potential for damage to infrastructure and stoppages of operations due to
forest fires, flooding, drought, or other natural events in the vicinity of our
operations;
· litigation risks and the inherent uncertainty of litigation, including
litigation to which Florence Copper could be subject to;
· our actual costs of reclamation and mine closure may exceed our current
estimates of these liabilities;
· our ability to meet the financial reclamation security requirements for the
Gibraltar mine and Florence Project;
· the capital intensive nature of our business both to sustain current mining
operations and to develop any new projects, including Florence Copper;
· our reliance upon key management and operating personnel;
· the competitive environment in which we operate;
· the effects of forward selling instruments to protect against fluctuations
in copper prices, foreign exchange, interest rates or input costs such as fuel;
