TASEKO PROVIDES
UPDATE ON COPPER MOUNTAIN OFFER
September 22, 2009, Vancouver, BC - Taseko Mines
Limited (TSX: TKO; NYSE Amex: TGB) ("Taseko" or the "Company")
confirms that it was advised by Copper Mountain counsel that securities
regulators had accepted Copper Mountain's position that the brokered
financing could proceed without shareholder approval, thereby making any
offer from Taseko at the indicated price of $2.20 per share impossible.
Accordingly, merger discussions with Copper Mountain have ceased.
For further information on Taseko, please see the Company's website
