Taseko sells Prosperity gold production to Franco

2010-05-12 15:17 MT - News Release
Taseko Mines Ltd. has entered into a gold stream transaction with Franco-
Nevada Corp., under which Franco-Nevada will purchase gold equal to 22 per
cent of the life-of-mine gold to be produced by Taseko from its proposed
Prosperity gold and copper mine in British Columbia.

Taseko will receive staged cash deposits totalling $350-million (U.S.), to
be paid during mine construction, as well as two million Franco-Nevada
warrants to be issued on the date of the first advance of the cash payment.
For each ounce of gold delivered to Franco-Nevada, Taseko will receive a
further cash payment of $400 (U.S.) (subject to an inflationary adjustment)
or the prevailing market price, if lower. The deposit will be credited with
the difference between $400 (U.S.) and the market price of gold for each
ounce delivered until the deposit is fully credited. Each warrant will be
exercisable to purchase one Franco-Nevada common share at a price of $75
until June 16, 2017, and will be listed under the same terms as the
warrants listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol FNV.WT.A.

The investment by Franco-Nevada is subject to full financing of the project
and receipt of all material permits to construct and operate the Prosperity
project and will be staged such that the timing of Franco-Nevada's payments
will be concurrent with Taseko's financing of the equity portion of the
capital requirements of Prosperity.

Russell Hallbauer, president and chief executive officer of Taseko,
commented: "We are very pleased to be entering into this long-term
relationship with Franco-Nevada. It is an endorsement of the quality of our
project that we have been able to attract the interest of a company of the
calibre of Franco-Nevada as a participant in the advancement of Prosperity.
Through this transaction, we are funding approximately 45 per cent of the
planned capital expenditures for Prosperity by selling 6 per cent of the
total gross metal revenue. Combined with cash on hand and expected cash
flow from Gibraltar, we will have Prosperity approximately 80 per cent
funded without any debt, leaving a number of available alternatives to
complete the project funding. These include project debt, equity, offtake
sale for debt and the sale of a small minority interest in Prosperity."

Wellington West Capital Markets Inc. is acting as financial adviser to
Taseko.
