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.

the Court's decision, please visit the Company's website at www.tasekomines.com
