March 30, 2022, Vancouver, BC – Taseko Mines Limited (TSX: TKO; NYSE MKT: TGB; LSE: TKO) (“Taseko” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce a new 706 million ton proven and probable sulphide reserve for the Gibraltar Mine, a 40% increase as of December 31, 2021. The new reserve estimate allows for a significant extension of the mine life to 23 years with total recoverable metal of 3.0 billion pounds of copper and 53 million pounds of molybdenum.

Highlights from the new reserve:

• 706 million tons grading 0.25% copper
• Recoverable copper of 3.0 billion pounds and 53 million pounds of molybdenum
• 23 year mine life with average annual production of approximately 129 million pounds of copper and 2.3 million pounds of molybdenum
• Life-of-mine average strip ratio of 2.4:1
• After-tax NPV8 of $1.1 billion (75% basis) and free cash flow of $2.3 billion (75% basis) at a long-term copper price of US$3.50 per pound¹

Note: Taseko’s 75% owned Gibraltar Mine is located north of the City of Williams Lake in south-central British Columbia. All dollar amounts are in Canadian dollars (C$) and units are imperial unless stated otherwise.

Stuart McDonald, President and CEO, commented, “Gibraltar has been our cornerstone asset since it was restarted 17 years ago, and with the extended mine life we expect it will continue to generate significant cashflow for many years to come. Over the last two years there has been a dramatic shift in the long-term outlook for copper, as the world accelerates the transition to a green economy. With the improved market outlook, our engineering team updated pit designs which have added 200 million tons of additional reserves to the life of mine plan. The mine now has a 23-year mine life with significant leverage to copper prices going forward. At current copper prices, the mine NPV increases to over $2 billion (75% basis, after-tax).”

Richard Tremblay, Senior VP, Operations, added, “The additional tons in the new reserve are at a similar grade as Gibraltar’s previous reserves. While the life of mine strip ratio has increased slightly, there has been no change to the mine plan over the next five years where copper production is expected to average approximately 128 million pounds per year. The updated pit designs are based on a conservative long-term copper price of US$3.05 per pound (previously US$2.75 per pound), and incorporate material that was previously classified as resources.”

Mr. McDonald concluded, “Recent market activity and global events continue to show the value of a long-life, steady-state copper mine in a top mining jurisdiction. With our near-term growth plans in Arizona, and longer-term development projects in British Columbia, Taseko is very well positioned to build a North America based mid-tier copper producer.”

• Mineral Reserves follow CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (2014).
• Sulphide Mineral Reserves are exclusive of Oxide Mineral Reserves and are contained within Mineral Resources.
• Mineral Reserves are assumed to be extracted using open pit mining methods and are based on US$3.05/lb Cu price, $12.00/lb Mo price, exchange rate of US$0.80=C$1.00, metallurgical recoveries of 85% Cu and 40% Mo for sulphide ore and 50% ASCu for oxide ore.
• A tonnage factor of 12ft³/ton has been applied for rock and 15ft³/ton for overburden and fill.
• Copper Equivalency based on US$3.50/lb price and 85% metallurgical recovery for copper, and US$13.00/lb price and 50% metallurgical recovery for molybdenum.CuEq can be calculated using the formula CuEq% = Cu% + Mo% x 2.185.
