VANCOUVER, May 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ - Taseko Mines Limited
(TSX: TKO; NYSE MKT: TGB) ("Taseko" or the "Company") announces that, on May 5, 2016, the United
States District Court for the District of Columbia (the "Court") ordered dissident Raging River
Capital LP and related defendants (collectively, the "Defendants") to file an amended Schedule 13D to fully disclose their
purpose for acquiring Taseko's senior notes (also sometimes referred to as "bonds"). Any failure by Defendants' to timely
file the amendment could result in a delay of the special meeting of Taseko shareholders, scheduled for May 10, 2016. Should there be any change to the time or place of the special meeting, Taseko will advise
shareholders by press release.
Copies of the Court's Memorandum Opinion and Order are available on Taseko's website at www.tasekomines.com/proxy-contest.
Vote the YELLOW Proxy Today
Every vote counts. If the RRC Nominees are elected, the value of your investment will be at risk. Even if a shareholder
previously voted a blue proxy, a later-dated YELLOW proxy will cancel the earlier vote.
Taseko encourages shareholders to read the proxy contest related materials to understand the main reasons to reject RRC and
its baseless attack against Taseko directors Russ Hallbauer, Ron
Thiessen and Robert Dickinson. Shareholder materials are available at www.tasekomines.com/proxy-contest and on SEDAR,
www.sedar.com.
The proxy voting deadline is 10 am (Pacific Time) on May 6,
2016. Shareholders with questions about voting their shares should call Laurel Hill Advisory Group at 1-877-452-7184 (toll
free) or by email at assistance@laurelhill.com. The Special Meeting is scheduled to be held at The Pinnacle Hotel, 138 Victory Ship
Way, North Vancouver, British Columbia, on May 10, 2016, at
10:00 a.m. local time.
