Company Background and Culture

Taseko Mines Limited is a dynamic and growing mine operator headquartered in Vancouver, Canada. Focused in North America, Taseko is driven to unlock the true value of copper for a complex and changing world.

The Company’s wholly owned Gibraltar Mine, located in the Cariboo region of British Columbia, is a state-of-the-art operation which has won numerous environmental and safety awards. Gibraltar is the second largest open-pit copper mine in Canada with an average annual copper production of 130 million pounds over its remaining 21-years of mine life. Taseko is also an accomplished mine developer with a pipeline of high quality, advanced stage projects in Canada and the United States.

Taseko recently began construction of its Florence Copper Project, located in Pinal County Arizona, which has an annual production capacity of 85 million pounds of copper and a 22-year mine life.  The project will utilize an ISCR copper recovery process to produce a high-quality copper cathode on site, resulting in 75% fewer GHG emissions, 65% less energy use and 78% less water consumption per pound of copper produced compared to conventional open-pit copper mines in Arizona.

The Company’s Yellowhead Project is a large, long-life copper project located in the Thompson-Nicola region of British Columbia. The Company is preparing to advance the Yellowhead Copper Project into the environmental assessment process and is currently undertaking additional engineering work in conjunction with ongoing engagement with local communities including First Nations.  Additionally, Taseko continues engineering and environmental related activities at its Aley niobium project in north-central British Columbia.
