TASEKO ANNOUNCES CHANGE TO EXECUTIVE TEAM

June 30, 2008, Vancouver, BC - Taseko Mines Limited (TSX: TKO; AMEX: TGB) ("Taseko" or the "Company") announces the resignation of Jeffrey Mason as Chief Financial Officer, effective July 1, 2008. Mr. Mason will maintain his role on Taseko's Board of Directors.
 
Russell Hallbauer, President and CEO of Taseko commented, "On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Jeffrey for the work he has undertaken over the past 14 plus years.

Jeffrey has been a key member of Taseko's senior management team and has helped significantly to advance Taseko from a junior exploration company to a preeminent Western Canadian copper producer with a market capitalization of nearly $750 million.
 
We wish Jeffrey all the best in this future endeavours and look forward to his continued support on the Board of Directors."
