Successful Completion Of UIC Permit For Florence Copper

VANCOUVER - Taseko Mines Limited reported that the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has confirmed that no appeals have been received and Florence Copper's final Underground Injection Control (UIC) permit is now effective.

Stuart McDonald, President and CEO, said, "Successful completion of the UIC permitting process is a result of Taseko's long-term development approach, and the quality and environmental integrity of the project.  Taseko is now in a unique position, with one of the very few fully permitted mining projects in North America.  With the final permit in hand, we have a clear line of vision to commercial production and are that much closer to realizing the full value of Florence Copper."
