TASEKO MINES COMMENTS ON RECENT COURT DECISION
REGARDING ABORIGINAL TITLE
 

November 27, 2007, Vancouver, BC - The William decision, released by the Supreme Court of British Columbia on November 21, 2007, has provided increased certainty for the Company's 100% owned Prosperity gold-copper project.
 
The Prosperity project is within the 4,381 square kilometers subject to aboriginal rights, but importantly, outside of the aboriginal title lands of approximately 2,000 square kilometers described by the Honourable Mr. Justice Vickers in his judgment.
 
Mr. Justice Vickers found that the Tsilhqot'in people have an aboriginal right to hunt and trap birds and animals throughout the 4,381 square kilometers, including the land affected by the Prosperity project. However, on the matter of aboriginal title, independent legal counsel to the Company has confirmed that the Court, after very careful deliberation, expressed an opinion on what area of the 4,381 square kilometers is aboriginal title land, and the proposed Prosperity mine is not in that area.
 
The Company is preparing for the formal environmental assessment review of the Prosperity project and is ready to advance the permitting process.
 
"We will continue to conduct ourselves as we always have - with respect for the Tsilhqot'in people, their culture, their history and their relationship with the land - as we work to advance the Prosperity Project", says Brian Battison, Vice President, Corporate Affairs for Taseko Mines Limited.
