TASEKO SECURES LISTING
ON THE TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE

March 8, 2006, Vancouver, BC - Taseko Mines Limited (TSX:TKO; AMEX:TGB) has received formal approval to list its common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"). Effective today, March 8, 2006, common shares of Taseko will be listed for trading on the "TSX" under the symbol "TKO". The Company also trades on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol "TGB".

President and CEO Russell Hallbauer said: "The Management and Board of Directors of Taseko are pleased to have secured a listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange that will increase the Company's exposure. The move to TSX is another step in the Taseko's growth strategy toward status as a mid-tier producer."

Through a combination of mining operations and related assets with the potential for large-scale, long-life operations and a commitment to innovative approaches to development, Taseko is positioned to provide immediate returns and longer term growth. Taseko's Gibraltar copper-molybdenum mine just completed its first successful year of commercial operation after re-start in late 2004; the Prosperity copper-gold project is an advanced stage project on which the Company re-initiated feasibility-level studies in late 2005; and the Company's Harmony property hosts a large gold deposit with development potential over the longer term. All are located in British Columbia, Canada.
