Hearings get underway for another controversial B.C. project: Prosperity mine

By Dene Moore, The Canadian Press | The Canadian Press – Sun, 29 Jan, 2012 4:00 AM EST

TKO.TO 3.52 -0.05

By Dene Moore, The Canadian Press

WILLIAMS LAKE, B.C. - With all eyes on hearings for the controversial Northern Gateway pipeline that would link Alberta's oil sands to tankers on the B.C. coast, a federal environmental review of another contentious B.C. project is quietly getting underway.

The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency has released guidelines and terms of reference that will form the framework for an environmental review of Taseko Mines Ltd.'s (TSX:TKO.TO - News) proposed Prosperity gold and copper mine in the B.C. Interior.

The agency is seeking comments on the documents until Feb. 22.

But the approach of Prime Minister Stephen Harper's government toward the federal hearings on the Northern Gateway doesn't give First Nations opponents much faith in the environmental review of the mine.

"We feel the writing's on the wall," Chief Joe Alphonse , leader of the Tsilqhot'in National Government, said in an interview.

"Mr. Harper is making statements around the Enbridge project that anyone opposing the project is an enemy of Canada. That's the same situation."

Alphonse said he fears that approval of the Prosperity Mine, 125 kilometres southwest of Williams Lake , B.C., is a foregone conclusion.

The Tsilqhot'in will still take part in the review, however, "as distasteful as that might be," Alphonse said.

"Our position is that we have to participate to protect our interests... we still have to go through the motions because, at the end of the day, when that political process fails us, we still have to turn to the courts for justice and the moment we walk into a courtroom they're going to tell us: you had to participate."

Taseko's original proposal for the $1.5-billion project was accepted by the province but rejected by a federal environmental panel last year because the company wanted to drain Fish Lake for use as a tailings pond.

The revised proposal would see the company spend $300 million to build its own tailings pond, rather than use the trout-bearing lake, known to local First Nations as Tetzan Biny.

In December, the Tsilqhot'in First Nation was granted a court injunction to stop Taseko from undertaking exploratory work on the mine pending the review.

Although the Tsilqhot'in will participate in the review, the band did not apply for money from a federal fund for aboriginal groups to participate, nor did most other First Nations groups in the area.

The federal agency announced last week that nine groups will split nearly $138,000 in federal funding to participate in the review.

But while more than $200,000 was available to aboriginal groups to allow them to participate, only one group made an application. The Esketemc First Nation asked for and received $27,800.

The Metis Nation of British Columbia, whose application was transferred from a general funding program, will also receive $19,000.

Seven other interest groups will receive a total of $91,000 from the separate, general participant funding program, including Friends of Nemaiah Valley, which will receive $19,000, and the Sierra Club of British Columbia, which will receive $18,600.

MiningWatch Canada, the Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce, Share the Cariboo-Chilcotin Resources Society, and the Environmental Mining Education Foundation will also receive funds, as well as an individual named Federico G. Osorio.

Brian Battison, vice-president of corporate affairs for Taseko, said the company is looking at the guidelines and preparing its response, which is "a tremendous amount of work."

Battison said much of the original mine proposal was accepted by the first review panel, and those aspects will not have to be reviewed again. What has changed are the two aspects around the use of Fish Lake as a tailings pond.

"It's a significant difference. It's a $300-million difference in terms of cost, to save the lake."

Battison said the project has community support in the Cariboo region, where it will have a significant economic impact.

Agency spokesperson Lucille Jamault said members of the public have until Feb. 22 to submit written comments on the draft guidelines and the terms of reference, then the next step will be for the federal environment minister to name the panel, which was given a year to complete the review when it was announced last November.

A band election in Tsi Del Del, in Alexis Creek, earlier this month served as a referendum of sorts on the issue. Chief Percy Guichon, a vocal critic of the mine development, soundly defeated a challenger who was in favour of the mine in a campaign dominated by the issue.

Taseko says Prosperity - the largest undeveloped gold-copper deposit in Canada and seventh largest in the world - will generate 71,000 jobs over the course of its operation and put $10 billion in government coffers.

Heated debate at mine meeting - Taseko Mines Ltd. -

It was billed as a public consultation but deteriorated into mud-slinging.

The environmental review of the Taseko Mines Ltd. proposal to develop an open pit gold-copper mine called Prosperity Mine 125 kilometres southwest of Williams Lake held its first meeting in 100 Mile House March 31.

The Valley Room at the Lodge was standing room only as Taseko representatives explained the project, including the possible impacts and the benefits.

During the question period, Chief Marilyn Baptiste and coun. Lois Williams of the Xeni Gwet'in First Nation addressed the crowd and Baptiste said, in her opinion, this process should not go forward the way it has.

The Tsilhqot'in Nation has filed a statement of claim in BC Supreme Court to prevent Taseko from destroying Fish Lake as part of the proposed mine.

Williams said the property is her grandfather's, Jimmy Williams, home and ranch and it's also home to 300 other band members, where they go fishing and hunting.

She said there are unique fish in Fish Lake and underground springs and she's concerned about what would go into the watershed if the mine is developed.

"I want it to stay clean 1,000 years down the road," said Williams.

"My first responsibility and duty is to the people, our title, land and our rights," said Baptiste, "Our water is our gold and fish is also part of our survival."

She said she isn't thinking just 100 years down the road and not just about a few hundred jobs for 20 years.

Baptiste and Williams made their opposition to the project perfectly clear but then Baptiste turned her attention on Lorne Doerkson, Williams Lake Tribune publisher, who supports the project.

She accused Doerkson of slanting the news with a bias against First Nations.

Doerkson was having none of that, and responded that the Tribune has always welcomed news, information and stories from First Nations.

He said he refused to be belittled and he cared about the area just as much as Baptiste did.

Audience members were obviously uncomfortable with the tone the meeting was taking and were pleased when moderator Garry Alexander, BC Environmental Assessment Office project assessment director, got the meeting back on track by asking for questions.

He said the assessment office has a duty to consult and accommodate First Nations but their agreement to the project is not required.

The next public consultations, April 1 in Williams Lake and April 2 in Alexis Creek, are expected to generate a lot more heated discussions.

Taseko submits Prosperity proposal

By Erin Hitchcock - Williams Lake Tribune

5 Comments

The Prosperity Mine project will undergo an environmental assessment by a federal review panel, announced Canada’s Environment Minister Jim Prentice last week, but Brian Battison, vice president of corporate affairs for Taseko Mines Limited, says the announcement should have come a month ago.

“The decision was supposed to be made back on Dec. 18, so a month has been lost, and time is what’s most important to this project,” Battison says. “Time should not be wasted. We’re trying to make an $800 million investment decision. The federal government needs to be mindful that wasting time doesn’t lead to squandering the opportunity Prosperity represents.”

Battison notes that the provincial government’s process was issued on Jan. 9, and says the provincial environmental assessment decision is expected in October 2009, but there is no expectation when the federal decision will be.

“They were waiting for the federal government and I think they decided they didn’t want to wait any longer,” Battison says. “They have a process that they have to live up to, and they’re determined to go forward with theirs in a timely manner.”

On Friday, Taseko Mines Limited submitted its 3,000-page Environmental Assessment on the high-volume open pit gold-copper mine that would be built about 125 kilometres southwest of Williams Lake.

In addition to the mine and associated tailings and waste rock areas, the project includes an on-site mill, an approximately 125 kilometre-long power transmission line corridor and an access road.

According to the federal government’s terms of reference, the B.C. Environmental Assessment Statement will undertake a 30-day screening of the application against the Environmental Impact Statement guidelines. Once the B.C Environmental Assessment Office determines that the Environmental Impact Statement meets the requirements, Taseko will submit the impact statement to the panel.

Once submitted, the impact statement will be placed on the public registry and will be made available for public review and comment for 60 days.

Within 30 days of the public review of the impact statement being completed, the panel will determine if the EIS contains enough information to proceed to public hearings, which will be scheduled and announced within seven days and won’t begin until at least 30 days after announced.

Once the public hearings are complete, the panel will then prepare and submit a report describing the panel review process, the rationale, conclusions and recommendation to the Minister of Environment and the responsible authorities. The panel will also include a summary of comments received from the public and First Nations.

The report will be submitted within 60 days after the public hearings are complete. The Minister of Environment will then make the report available to the public.

But there is still no defined time when the minister would make a decision once he makes the panel’s report available to the public sometime after October.

“There is a timeline, but it takes us to October, but that’s only for the conclusion of the process,” Battison says. “The decision, there is no timeline attached to that.”

He stresses that time is of the essence in getting the project approved, and says eventually another opportunity for investment could come up that would compel the company to abandon plans for Prosperity Mine.

“Sooner or later, an opportunity is going to come along where our $800 million investment is a better risk-reward scenario in some other jurisdiction, maybe even in some other country of the world, and we will be compelled to go there, and what a shame that would be for this region,” Battison says. “What a shame personally, I think it would be, for a company that already has a mine in Williams Lake to not have been able to build another one because nobody fully understood the value and importance of time. It’s not a threat. It’s just the reality of the mining business. … When you squander time, you squander opportunity.”

Lucille Jamault, senior communications advisor for the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, couldn’t say why the federal environmental assessment wasn’t announced until this month, but she said that between November and December, 2008, there were open houses where guidelines were presented and the terms of reference finalized.

“There are no particular timelines for a minister to make a decision,” Jamault says, adding that the panel is independent from the government. “In terms of the minister’s decision, because it is a ministerial decision, I can’t comment on why or why not or when these things happen.”

In a Nov. 27 dated letter to the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, Taseko Mines Limited president and CEO Russell Hallbauer also noted the urgency of time.

“If there is to be any reasonable chance of building Prosperity in the near term, i.e. have it built and operating in the next three years, then governments must take what some may see as extraordinary measures to ensure a reasonable and timely process,” the letter says.

“The project needs certainty and efficiency and there are aspects of the proposed timeline that provide neither.”

international law or not, you may think you own the land, but how can a piece of paper say the land belongs to the Tsilhqotin people, when honestly no one actually owns land. it has been here a lot longer then humans have.

Exactly, you hit it on the spot, my friend! How can a piece of paper say that is belongs to the Tsilhqotin? Written information on paper is foreign and does not belong to any First Nations throughout. Therefore they have Oral Tradition which has been passed down from generation to generation since time immemorial. They were here long before the paper came about. The history states that First Nations have lived here since time immemorial (Norh America). Many have not to this day signed or sold any of there lands to any foreign governments on paper whether it be called Treaties or other fancy names like Prosperity. The Tsilhqotins have not agreed or signed any Treaties to foreigners and is likely not going to in the near future. Again, please do not be ignorant and agree for the mine to continue with it's damage to the environment.

The land definently belongs to the Tsilhqotin people. It's easy for people to say they support the mines when they don't even own the land or have anything to do with growing up there. If you grew up there it would be a different story. I'm sick of this greed, sure it can create jobs but a beautiful piece of land is being destroyed which cannot be replaced. The Tsilhqotin's will fight for whats thiers and I'm behind them and so are people who are not nasty and greedy, people with good hearts. People can find jobs elsewhere, don't hope for the mines to get work, there are other resources.

The environment is part of any reputable company's way of doing business it just cant be any other way these days. I support Taseko and the prosperity project 100 %

No pressure? Come on, why are we rushing when nature took millions of years to build it the way it is. Just leave it alone and don't let a piece of paper say that it is okay to damage the natural environment . Do not forget that the land belongs to the Tsilhqotin people. International Law states that the land belongs to them, the original owners of the land since time immemorial.

Taseko Reports Third Fiscal Quarter Results

August 15, 2005 09:30:05 (ET)


VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug 15, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Taseko Mines Limited (TGB, Trade) announces financial results for the three months ending June 30, 2005 - the Company's third fiscal quarter of 2005 - and its Gibraltar copper-molybdenum mine in south-central British Columbia. The Gibraltar mine is operated under a joint venture arrangement between Taseko's wholly owned subsidiary, Gibraltar Mines Ltd., and Ledcor CMI Ltd.

THIRD QUARTER 2005 HIGHLIGHTS

- Gibraltar recorded revenues of $32.3 million from sales of copper concentrate, and by-product credits of $7.9 million from sales of molybdenum.

- The average prices for sales realized in the quarter were US$1.51 for copper and US$34 for molybdenum.

- Copper concentrate production during the quarter was 27,500 wet metric tonnes ("WMT"), or 15.5 million pounds of copper.

- During the quarter, 32,100 WMT of copper concentrate was sold totalling 17.25 million pounds of copper.

- Molybdenum in concentrate production during the quarter was 178,000 pounds.

- During the quarter, 223,000 pounds of molybdenum in concentrate was sold.

Results of Operations

The Company's net earnings for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 were $10.1 million, compared to a loss of $1.96 million in the previous quarter and the $6.4 million loss in the third quarter of fiscal 2004. The improvement is related to a restart of active mining operations at the Gibraltar mine during the current fiscal year, and increased sales of both copper and molybdenum concentrate during the quarter.

Gibraltar Mine Performance

Mining operations achieved a daily mining rate of 114,000 tons per day in the quarter. The following table is a summary of the operating statistics for the third quarter compared to forecast.

Taseko Provides an Update on Gibraltar Mine Production and Sales

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Jul 26, 2005 (CCNMatthews via COMTEX) --
Taseko Mines Limited (TSX VENTURE:TKO)(AMEX:TGB) provides the following update on production and sales results from the Gibraltar copper-molybdenum mine for the quarter ending June 30, 2005.

COPPER

- Copper concentrate production during the quarter was 27,500 wet metric tonnes ("WMT"), or 15.5 million pounds of copper (96% of forecast).

- Copper concentrate sales for the quarter were 32,100 WMT (approximately 17 million pounds of copper and 13% above forecast), an increase from the 26,500 WMT (or approximately 14 million pounds of copper) of the previous quarter, as a result of production and drawdown of inventories from the previous quarter end.

- Copper concentrate inventory at June 30, 2005 was 6,900 WMT (or approximately 3.7 million pounds of copper), a decrease from the 11,500 WMT (or approximately 6.2 million pounds of copper) of inventory on hand at the end of the previous quarter.

MOLYBDENUM

- Molybdenum in concentrate production during the quarter was 178,000 pounds (92% of forecast).

- Molybdenum in concentrate sales were 223,000 pounds, an increase from the 78,000 pounds sold in the previous quarter.

- Molybdenum in concentrate inventory was 18,000 pounds, a decrease from 63,000 pounds at the end of the previous quarter.

Assuming achievement of forecasted levels of production, Taseko now expects to operate at these approximate current levels of inventory at future quarter ends.

Financial results for the period, Taseko's third fiscal quarter of 2005, are currently being compiled and will be released by mid August.

Taseko Announces Positive Results of Labour Vote

22 February 2005, 11:45am ET

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 22, 2005--Taseko Mines Limited (TSX VENTURE:TKO)(AMEX:TGB) announces the results of a labour representation vote mandated by the British Columbia Labour Relations Board ("BCLRB") for the Gibraltar copper-molybdenum mine in south-central British Columbia.

The Gibraltar mine is operated under a joint venture arrangement between Taseko's subsidiary, Gibraltar Mines Ltd., and Ledcor Mining Ltd. The mine restarted operations in October 2004. Of the 250 people employed at the mine, about 79% are unionized workers.

On February 16, 2005, Taseko and Ledcor received a BCLRB ruling that confirmed the joint venture is the valid successor employer for the Gibraltar operation and, accordingly, the BCLRB directed the parties to count the ballots from a representation vote, originally held in November 2004, to determine which union will represent the employees. The ballots were counted February 21, 2005, and 74% of the workers voted for the Christian Labour Association of Canada ("CLAC") union. In September 2004, CLAC ratified a collective agreement with Ledcor, the operator at the Gibraltar Mine site.

President and CEO Ron Thiessen said "This brings to an end a period of any labour uncertainty and assures a stable and efficient operating environment for the mine. We can now focus the investment community on the significant opportunity which the Gibraltar Mine represents for Taseko."

Copper had been edging up for several weeks. Hit 1.48 yesterday and down .05 today?? No news that I can find. Maybe the Chinese flexing their muscles again and trying to get the price lower. Holding for earnings report. Bobwins

[mhlld]

Copper moving back up, Chart has turned for this one also.

[mhlld]

Has been trying to move higher, some of the 8 million shares from the private placement are holding it back IMO. Haywood is the seller on the TSX around $1.85-$1.94(Canadian). Norstar, institutional trading only, has been the buyer. Should move higher when this is done, capped until then.IMO

Taseko Mines Limited: Mining Operations Underway at Gibraltar Mine: Copper Concentrate now Being Shipped
10/13/04


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Oct 13, 2004 (CCNMatthews via COMTEX) --
Ronald W. Thiessen, President and CEO of Taseko Mines Limited(TSX Venture: TKO; AMEX: TGB) is pleased to announce that mining operations have begun at the Gibraltar copper mine. Ore is now being delivered from the open pit and processed throug
h the crushing and milling circuits on a 24 hours per day, seven days per week schedule. The first truckload of copper concentrate has now been shipped.

Commissioning of all new mining equipment is essentially complete. The new 40 cubic yard P&H Model 2800XPB shovel is at work in the pit and four of five new 205 ton Terex-Unit Rig trucks are fully assembled and in operation. The final truck will be commissioned within the next few days. This new equipment is facilitating productive mining operations within the Pollyanna Pit.

The 35,000 tonnes per day Gibraltar open pit copper mine is located near Williams Lake in south-central British Columbia. On-site mining operations are being carried out by Ledcor Mining Ltd., as Operator, under the Gibraltar Ledcor Joint Venture Agreement. The mine and mill complex will produce an average of 70 million pounds of copper and 980,000 pounds of molybdenum per year in concentrate from sulphide ore in the Gibraltar deposits. An additional 10 million pounds of copper cathode can be produced annually from the solvent extraction-electrowinning plant when oxide material is accessed.

The mine will be delivering its first concentrate into excellent market conditions, as copper and molybdenum prices have continued to strengthen over the past several months. According to a recent report by Bloomberg, copper stockpiles have dropped by 83% in the past year as supply from the world's largest copper mines has decreased but demand from China and the USA has increased. Copper prices recently reached a 15 year high at US$1.46 per pound, and molybdenum oxide is trading at about US$20.00 per pound, well above its long term average price of US$4.00 per pound.

Finally got the PR about shipping copper. Mine is running 24/7. Good news but unfortunately big blowoff in commodities ruined the moment. Down .12 to 1.43. Shouldn't matter in the long run but we'll have to wait for some numbers now to get the momentum back. Bobwins

Many potential strikes in Peru and Chile, recent article.


Codelco's Strikers Resume Talks Without New Offer (Update5)
Oct. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Codelco, the world's biggest copper producer, resumed negotiations today with supervisors at a division in northern Chile that went on strike last week over benefits.

Union leaders and management met this afternoon for the first time since the strike began at the company's northern division on Oct. 8, though Codelco didn't make a new offer, said Mario Sepulveda, a spokesman for the union. Jaime Andrade, a spokesman for the division, confirmed the meeting.

``We didn't have concrete progress,'' Sepulveda said, in telephone interview. He expects the two sides to meet tomorrow, though no meeting is now scheduled.

Andrade said prior to the meeting that the company won't make a new offer and that the protest hasn't reduced mining at the division. The union wants Santiago-based Codelco to increase housing benefits as the company's profits surge following a jump in copper prices to 15-year highs.

Copper futures for December delivery fell 2.05 cents, or 1.4 percent, to $1.448 cents a pound on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. Futures prices have jumped 62 percent in 12 months on greater demand in the U.S. and China, the biggest users of the metal.

Adjustment

Codelco last week shut a smelter at the division because of the strike, beginning as much as 15 days of maintenance that had been scheduled for December, Andrade said.

The company is shipping copper to another division for smelting, and using stockpiles of processed copper to feed a plant that produces cathodes, or almost pure copper, Andrade said in a telephone interview. Miners operate most machinery at the division, rather than the union's members, who include engineers, doctors and managers.

Sepulveda said stockpiles feeding the refinery will run out, making the company sell copper as concentrate, which is partly copper, rather than as pure copper, which commands a higher price.

The northern division's two mines, Radomiro Tomic and Chuquicamata, accounted for 53 percent of production at Codelco in the first half of the year. Codelco said this year that its production will rise 14 percent in 2004 to 1.778 million metric tons.

[Bobwins]

Thanks for checking with IR. It won't be long now!! I hope that First Associates proforma P&L is fairly accurate. With copper and moly up so much, we should blow that proforma away in 2005!! How much is TGB worth if they post .06-.09eps a qtr??? Getting ahead of myself but seems possible. Bobwins

[mhlld]

I've called IR, they are producing right now. Copper concentrate to be sold this month. Copper going Parabolic soon,imo.

[Bobwins]

There was a post on RB that someone had called IR. Said they were in full production and should be selling first batch of concentrate soon. Waiting for PR.

Record high copper prices, inventories declining steadily all year. Classic crunch. Copper closed at 1.4848. Chinese are back buying. Their construction boom, commercial, industrial and consumer needs copper wire. They are investing many billions into their power grid. They need power and the grid and the wiring inside of new structures. That means copper.

Rebuilding in Florida, power lines, housing, needs copper for wiring as well as plumbing.

This rally is coming at a perfect time for TGB to start production. Molybdenum is at record prices. Everything is gathering for the "PERFECT STORM"!

TGB is in the right place at the right time. I have seen forecasts that say new production won't ramp up for a couple of years. Prices should stay up for 2005& 2006. Bobwins

[mhlld]

Could be a Pennant or Flag forming on chart, fwiw.

[Mr. Zen]

"There's a deficit in the world of copper coming on stream," Frank Holmes, chief investment officer at U.S. Global Investors, said. "There are no new mines basically to 2008 of any substance that can put a dent in commodity prices."

"And we went to a five-year drought of under-exploration development of the world's deposits, and it takes 10 years from their discovery to get any copper out and these are billion-dollar projects," Holmes said.

[mhlld]

Nice to see a board for TGB. I had a hard time finding it though, suprised it wasn't with other mining co.,s.

[mhlld]

Spoke with Mr. Wallace in IR today. The mine is and has been operating. They will be selling ore for cash this month. First time in years.

[Mr. Zen]

Copper Prices Rise to Nine-Year High as Demand Outpaces Supply
Oct. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Copper prices rose to a nine-year high in New York amid signs that mining companies are failing to keep up with global demand for the metal, forcing makers of wires and pipes to dig deeper into shrinking inventory.

Stockpiles monitored by the London Metal Exchange have plunged 78 percent this year. Some workers at Chile's Codelco, the world's biggest producer, may strike later this week, reducing output. Prices have climbed 70 percent in the past year, led by demand gains in China and the U.S., the world's largest buyers of the metal used in cars, homes and appliances.

``If more material doesn't start to be available, prices are going to be forced even higher,'' said Ingrid Sternby, an analyst at Barclays Capital in London.

Copper futures for December delivery rose 2.15 cents, or 1.5 percent, to $1.423 a pound on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange after reaching $1.428, the highest since August 1995.

A strike called for today at Santiago-based Codelco, owned by the government, was postponed until Oct. 8 at the company's request, said Mario Sepulveda, a union treasurer. About 760 supervisors at the company's northern division on Sept. 29 authorized a strike, demanding improved housing, health and education benefits.

Shares of Phelps Dodge Corp., the world's second-biggest copper producer, climbed $4.34, or 4.7 percent, to $96.36 at 2:15 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading after reaching a record $96.69. The stock has climbed 86 percent in the past year.

Reduced Inventory

Warehouses approved by the London Metal Exchange, the world's largest metals market, held 95,350 metric tons. Inventory reached a 14-year low of 80,175 tons on Aug. 17.

The rally in copper may continue, some analysts said.

``Countries may now be competing for available copper stocks, to protect national interests,'' said John Meyer, an analyst at Numis Corp. in London.

The premium for copper for immediate delivery over metal for delivery in three months has almost doubled in the past two weeks on the London Metal Exchange, indicating less supply is available, Sternby said. The spread is $152 a metric ton, the widest since April 21.

World demand for copper may exceed output from mines and scrap yards by 950,000 tons, London-based Bloomsbury Minerals Economics Ltd. said in a report yesterday.

Chinese demand for metals is soaring as the country builds homes, schools and other essentials for millions of rural residents who are flocking to cities in search of work. About 20 million Chinese annually will migrate from rural China to cities over the next 10 years, Morgan Stanley has estimated.

Hunter Dickinson Management Receives 'Entrepreneur of the Year' Award
10/5/04


The management of Hunter Dickinson Inc. ("HDI") was recently named 2004 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year in the Natural Resources category. The HDI management team of Robert Dickinson, Ronald Thiessen, David Copeland, Scott Cousens, David Jennings and Jeffrey Mason were honoured at the Entrepreneur of t
he Year Awards banquet for the Pacific Region at the Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre held on September 27.

In his acceptance remarks on behalf of the group, President and CEO Ron Thiessen acknowledged co-founders Bob Hunter (who retired earlier this year) and Bob Dickinson, the diverse backgrounds of the management group and the important contributions by HDI staff and associates. He also described the evolution and shared objectives of the management group:


"An entrepreneur is defined as a risk-taking businessperson, someone who sets up and finances new commercial enterprises to make a profit. Certainly Bob Hunter and Bob Dickinson fit that profile or definition when they got together in 1985... By 1994 Hunter Dickinson had been formalized into an incorporated company and included more principals, and we set about to create a franchise around the name, Hunter Dickinson Inc. The franchise we wanted to build was one of entrepreneurship, and to create an environment where the entrepreneurship of the people at Hunter Dickinson could flourish."


Hunter Dickinson Inc. manages publicly traded companies active in mineral exploration and development throughout the world, providing expertise in geoscience, engineering, environmental science, finance, property acquisition and regulatory, government and community affairs. These successful companies include Taseko Mines Limited (TSXV:TKO)(AMEX:TGB), Great Basin Gold Ltd. (TSX:GBG)(AMEX:GBN), Anooraq Resources Corporation (TSXV:ARQ)(AMEX-ANO), Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. (TSXV NDM)(OTCBB-NDMLF), Farallon Resources Ltd. (TSX:FAN), Continental Minerals Corporation (TSXV:KMK)(OTCBB-KMKCF), Rockwell Ventures Inc. (TSXV:RCW)(OTCBB-RCKVF), Amarc Resources Ltd. (TSXV:AHR)(OTCBB:AXREF) and Quartz Mountain Resources Ltd. (TSXV:QZM). HDI has proven capabilities at every stage of mine development, from early stage exploration (a current focus of Amarc Resources Ltd.) to mine operation (re-start activities are nearing completion at the Gibraltar mine of Taseko Mines Limited), and seeks to be in the forefront of the industry in terms of developing partnerships and gaining a social license. An example of this is the recent transition of Anooraq Resources Corporation to a Black Economic Empowerment company in South Africa, the first of its kind to be listed on and have access to North American capital markets.

Taseko Secures Listing with Symbol 'TGB' on the American Stock Exchange
Wednesday September 29, 10:00 am ET


VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 29, 2004--Ronald W. Thiessen, President and CEO of Taseko Mines Limited (TSX Venture:TKO - News; AMEX:TGB - News), is pleased to announce that Taseko has received formal approval to list its common shares on the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX"). Amex has advised that the approval is contingent on Taseko being in compliance with all applicable listing standards on the date that it begins trading on the exchange, and may be rescinded if the Company is not in compliance with such standards. Effective October 4, 2004, the Company will be listed for trading on AMEX under the symbol "TGB". The Company will continue to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "TKO".
"Management and the Board of Directors of Taseko are pleased to have secured this new listing, as it will provide many interested investors in the United States with greater transparency about the activities of the Company as well as more convenience and readily accessible trading opportunities," said Mr. Thiessen. "This will be advantageous and timely, as the Company is currently re-establishing copper production at the Gibraltar mine."

Re-start activities at the Gibraltar mine, which is located near Williams Lake in south-central British Columbia, Canada, are nearing completion. The current plan is to extract 148 million tonnes of sulphide ore over 12 years, producing an average of 70 million pounds of copper and 980,000 pounds of molybdenum in concentrate annually, beginning this October. Oxide ore, when accessed, will also be processed by the 10 million pound per year solvent extraction-electrowinning plant to produce copper cathode. Substantial additional mineralized material has also been outlined to extend the life of the operation well beyond the current mine plan.

Copper Rises to 6-Month High as Demand Growth Erodes Inventory

Sept. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Copper prices rose to a six-month high after a measure of global inventories fell the most since April 1997, indicating demand continues to outpace production.

Stockpiles monitored by the London Metal Exchange fell 3.7 percent to 94,725 metric tons, down 78 percent this year. Inventories tracked by the Shanghai Futures Exchange fell 21 percent last week to 23,375 tons. Copper prices rose 67 percent in the past year amid forecasts of a production deficit.

``That's a pretty sizable decline'' in inventories, said Daniel Vaught, an analyst at A.G. Edwards & Sons Inc. in St. Louis. ``If we see further withdrawals on the same scale, there will likely be more bullish interest.''

Copper futures for December delivery rose 2.05 cents, or 1.5 percent, to $1.378 a pound on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, the highest for a most-active contract since March 19. Prices reached an eight-year high of $1.403 in March 2.

Global copper demand is expected to surpass production and scrap supplies by 701,000 tons this year, almost double last year's deficit of 376,000 tons, forcing manufacturers to dig deeper into stockpiles, the Lisbon-based International Copper Study Group said last week. Production exceeded demand in 2002 and 2001, when prices plunged to a 14-year low.

``China is a significant portion of copper demand,'' Vaught said. Price gains are ``also set against the backdrop of rebounding U.S. and Japanese economies,'' he said.

More New Construction

Sales of new homes in the U.S. surged 9.4 percent in August, propelled by the lowest mortgage rates in four months, the Commerce Department said. Single-family home sales rose to a 1.184 million annual pace last month from a July pace of 1.082 million that was lower than previously estimated.

Builders are the biggest users of copper, accounting for 40 percent of demand. An average single-family home contains about 400 pounds of the metal, according to the Copper Development Association, a New York-based industry group.

``There's no doubt that the fundamentals of the markets sustain these prices,'' Francisco Tomic, vice president of Codelco, the world's biggest copper miner, said in an interview on Sept. 23. Next year, ``other things remaining equal, will be a very good year,'' he said.

Tomic said a surge in supply of the metal probably won't occur. New mines opened in Chile in the 1990s, boosting sales. Chile is the world's biggest producer of copper.

Demand probably will outpace supply by about 100,000 metric tons next year, Tomic said, reiterating an estimate he made on Aug. 12.

``Chinese growth will continue to be very strong,'' he said. ``The recovery of other major economies that are consumers of copper has also been an element that has pushed from the demand side.''

Speculators increased holdings in futures for a third week to the highest since March 16, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission said Sept. 24.

Hedge funds and other large speculators bought 19,517 more contracts than they had sold as of Sept. 21, up 29 percent from the week before, the commission said.

[Mr. Zen]

VANCOUVER, British Columbia , Sept 13 (Reuters) - The Gibraltar copper mine in British Columbia is on track to be reopened in October, owner Taseko Mines Ltd. (TKO.V: Quote, Profile, Research) said on Monday of the small operation that was shut down in 1998 when copper prices were too low to keep it going.

A 70 percent increase in the price of copper since early last year has meant that the open pit mine near Williams Lake in south-central British Columbia, like other higher cost copper producers, can be revived.

Gibraltar is expected to produce 70 million pounds (31,751 tonnes) of copper and 980,000 pounds (445 tonnes) of molybdenum in concentrate a year.

Prices for molybdenum, mainly used to rustproof steel and stainless steel, are trading around record highs. Copper prices are off the 8.5 year highs of earlier this year but still healthy as demand continues to outstrip supply.

Taseko director Scott Cousens said the construction of a refinery, which will help to cut costs at Gibraltar, was still under investigation.

Brokerage First Associates said last month a refinery would cost about C$110 million ($85 million) to build. It also said Gibraltar's average cash cost to produce a pound of copper would be 90 cents a lb, but that an own-refinery might be able to cut this by 20 cents a lb.

Gibraltar has signed a four-year copper concentrate sales contract with Glencore, a Swiss-based metals buyer.

Taseko, part of Canada's Hunter Dickinson group of mining ompanies, bought Gibraltar in 1999.

Taseko Mines Limited: Restart Activities Advancing at Gibraltar Mine Site
9/13/04


VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sep 13, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Ronald W. Thiessen, President and CEO of Taseko Mines Limited (OTCBB:TKOCF) (TSX VENTURE:TKO) is pleased to provide an update on re-start activities at the Gibraltar open pit copper mine. The 35,000 tonnes per day operation, located near Williams Lake in s
outh-central British Columbia, is a joint venture between Taseko and Ledcor Mining Ltd ("Ledcor"). Ledcor is operating the mine.

In April 2004, Taseko announced that it was advancing toward the resumption of operations at Gibraltar. The current plan is to extract 148 million tonnes of sulphide ore over 12 years, producing an average of 70 million pounds of copper and 980,000 pounds of molybdenum in concentrate annually, beginning in October. Oxide material, when accessed, will also be processed at a rate of up to 10 million pounds per year by the solvent extraction-electrowinning plant to produce copper cathode. Substantial additional resources have also been outlined to extend the life of the operation well beyond the current mine plan.

Ledcor personnel were mobilized to site in late May to accelerate preparations for restart. Two shovels, eight haul trucks and two drills were re-commissioned for commencement of pre-development mining operations in the Pollyanna Pit on June 10. To the end of August, some 3.35 million tons of material has been removed to facilitate access to the Pollyanna mineralization.

A new 40 cubic yard P&H 2800XPB shovel arrived at site in early July and was immediately mobilized to the in-pit assembly area where it is being erected for operation in early October. The first of five new 205 ton Terex-Unit Rig trucks reached the mine in August. This new equipment, financed by Ledcor for utilization by the joint venture, will be an integral part of the fleet during full mining operations.

Maintenance on other mining equipment and the site facilities is proceeding concurrently with the pre-production activities. Reconditioning of the crushing, conveying and concentrating equipment in the mill is being finalized. Testing of the primary and secondary crushers and filling of the fine ore bins is also underway. Mill circuits will be commissioned and concentrate production initiated in early October.

Elsewhere at the site, the Gibraltar Landfill has now been in full operation for eleven months. The landfill was developed in an area where mining activities have been completed, and is designed for a 100 year useful life. Earlier this year, this innovative private public partnership between Gibraltar and the Cariboo Regional District received the 2004 Partners in Mining Award from the Mining Association of British Columbia.

[Mr. Zen]

9/9/04 conversation with IR

here is the short summary

1. overburden being scrapped off top of pit now
2. mining operation farmed out to save 10 million startup costs and mine operator has equipment ( which is hard to find in this bull market) and they have a relationship with the union.
3. fully expect to be trading ore for cash by the third week of October
4. they expect to process 50 ton per day.

Conclusion, once the numbers are released on this mine in the next quarterly report I fully expect my investment to gain 200%.. this is of course my opinion, others may differ.

Taseko Joint Ventures Gibraltar Mine Operations With Ledcor

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
June 1, 2004, Vancouver, BC -- Ronald W. Thiessen, President and CEO of Taseko Mines Limited (TSX Venture: TKO; OTCBB: TKOCF) is pleased to announce that Taseko has signed a Framework Agreement to create a Joint Venture (the "JV") with Ledcor CMI Ltd. ("Ledcor"), whereby Ledcor will commission and operate the Gibraltar mine, located near the City of Williams Lake in south-central British Columbia. Gibraltar is a 35,000 tonnes per day open pit copper mine that is preparing to resume operations.

Ledcor is a major British Columbia based construction and contract mining company, with extensive experience in both the construction and the operation of mines. Its Civil-Mining division employs over 300 people across Canada and the United States.

Under the proposed terms, Ledcor will be the operator, with primary responsibility for commissioning and operating the mine in addition to other aspects of mine operations, including drilling, blasting, loading and hauling of ore and waste as well as recruitment of personnel and maintenance of the equipment and facilities. Ledcor will contribute to the JV its own mine equipment and purchase or lease additional equipment, as necessary, including a large new shovel and new trucks worth over $25 million, to supplement the existing site equipment. Taseko will contribute to the JV certain mineral rights and usage rights to the existing mill and equipment. Personnel from Ledcor are on site to begin commissioning the mine for copper concentrate production by October 1, 2004.

A long-term copper concentrate sales contract has also been signed recently with Glencore Ltd. ("Glencore"), a major international metals buyer. Glencore is a diversified natural resources group based in Switzerland, with assets of US$15 billion. Commencing in October 2004, the sales contract is for 100% of the production from the mine, and has a duration of 40 months, with fixed terms for treatment and refining charges at a discount to prevailing market prices.

Other activities associated with the re-start of the Gibraltar mine include arrangements with rail carriers and port facilities for the transportation, storage and shipment of Gibraltar's copper concentrates to smelters overseas. These arrangements are well advanced and within the necessary lead times.

Mr. Thiessen said "We are making good progress on our re-start activities, and are very pleased to have established this joint venture with Ledcor and to have secured the key concentrate sales agreement with Glencore. We would like to acknowledge the support of Williams Lake and other local communities during the standby and re-start period, and look forward to being a major contributor to the economy of the region."

Gibraltar Mine On Schedule For Copper Production By October 2004

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
March 26, 2004, Vancouver, BC -- Ronald W. Thiessen, President and CEO of Taseko Mines Limited (TSX Venture: TKO; OTCBB: TKOCF) is pleased to announce that the Company is on track to re-start operations at the Gibraltar mine, located near Williams Lake in south-central British Columbia, this summer. It is expected that copper concentrate shipments to customers will commence by October 2004.

Historically a swing producer, Taseko's objective is to re-establish the Gibraltar mine with a competitive and predictable cost structure that is responsive to market conditions, resulting in sustainable operations over the long term. Negotiating competitive prices for equipment purchases and contracts in preparation for re-start is key. The status of these activities is:

Major mining equipment, in particular a new mining shovel that is critical for production planning, has been secured for delivery, ex-factory, in mid June;
Purchase and treatment terms for mine concentrates have been agreed to by a major buyer, and detailed contract documents are being finalized;
Operating and manpower alternatives are being considered and assessed for direct and/or joint venture operations; and
Transportation and materials handling arrangements for port and rail are well advanced, and within necessary lead times.
Mr. Thiessen said, "Gibraltar re-start activities are well underway and have progressed to the point where we are confident that the mine will deliver its first copper concentrate to the market on October 1, 2004. Most of the prerequisites of the re-start and delivery schedules are secure, and operations are proceeding on a normal course basis. We are pleased with the accomplishments to date by our 12-member mine site senior management and technical team."

Gibraltar will be one of the first mine openings in central British Columbia in many years. The mine will employ approximately 290 people and create millions of dollars in economic activity.

Taseko Joint Ventures Gibraltar Mine Operations with Ledcor
6/1/04


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Jun 1, 2004 (CCNMatthews via COMTEX) --
Ronald W. Thiessen, President and CEO of Taseko Mines Limited (TSX Venture: TKO; OTCBB: TKOCF) is pleased to announce that Taseko has signed a Framework Agreement to create a Joint Venture (the 'JV') with Ledcor CMI Ltd. ('Ledcor'), whereby Ledc
or will commission and operate the Gibraltar mine, located near the City of Williams Lake in south-central British Columbia. Gibraltar is a 35,000 tonnes per day open pit copper mine that is preparing to resume operations.

Ledcor is a major British Columbia based construction and contract mining company, with extensive experience in both the construction and the operation of mines. Its Civil-Mining division employs over 300 people across Canada and the United States.

Under the proposed terms, Ledcor will be the operator, with primary responsibility for commissioning and operating the mine in addition to other aspects of mine operations, including drilling, blasting, loading and hauling of ore and waste as well as recruitment of personnel and maintenance of the equipment and facilities. Ledcor will contribute to the JV its own mine equipment and purchase or lease additional equipment, as necessary, including a large new shovel and new trucks worth over $25 million, to supplement the existing site equipment. Taseko will contribute to the JV certain mineral rights and usage rights to the existing mill and equipment. Personnel from Ledcor are on site to begin commissioning the mine for copper concentrate production by October 1, 2004.

A long-term copper concentrate sales contract has also been signed recently with Glencore Ltd. ('Glencore'), a major international metals buyer. Glencore is a diversified natural resources group based in Switzerland, with assets of US$15 billion. Commencing in October 2004, the sales contract is for 100% of the production from the mine, and has a duration of 40 months, with fixed terms for treatment and refining charges at a discount to prevailing market prices.

Other activities associated with the re-start of the Gibraltar mine include arrangements with rail carriers and port facilities for the transportation, storage and shipment of Gibraltar's copper concentrates to smelters overseas. These arrangements are well advanced and within the necessary lead times.

Mr. Thiessen said 'We are making good progress on our re-start activities, and are very pleased to have established this joint venture with Ledcor and to have secured the key concentrate sales agreement with Glencore. We would like to acknowledge the support of Williams Lake and other local communities during the standby and re-start period, and look forward to being a major contributor to the economy of the region.'
