Taseko Mines Provided Clarification On Recent Class Action News Articles

VANCOUVER, Jan. 24 /CNW/ - Taseko Mines Limited (TSX: TKO; NYSE Amex: TGB) ("Taseko" or the "Company") commented today on recent articles that have appeared in some newspapers relating to efforts by a Canadian lawyer to solicit support for a possible class action suit based on unusual trading in the Company's shares on October 14, 2010.

Taseko is not aware of the cause for the unusual trading activity that day, nor is it aware of any basis for a claim against Taseko or any of its officers or directors relating to that trading activity. None of Taseko's officers or directors was in possession of any material undisclosed information or traded any shares on October 14, 2010. Taseko has no reason to believe any class action suit, if pursued, will adversely affect the Company.
