1. REPORTING ENTITY
Taseko Mines Limited (the "Company" or "Taseko") is a corporation governed by the British Columbia Business Corporations Act. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company as at and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, comprise the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. The Company is principally engaged in the production and sale of metal concentrates, as well as related activities, including mine permitting and development, within the Province of British Columbia, Canada, and the State of Arizona, USA.
As a result of the Company's acquisition of Cariboo Copper Corporation ("Cariboo"), the financial results of the Company after March 25, 2024 reflect its 100% interest in Gibraltar mine ("Gibraltar") (Note 14). The financial results for the period up to and including March 25, 2024, reflect the Company's 87.5% interest in Gibraltar (Note 14).
2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1 Statement of compliance
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in compliance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") ("IFRS Accounting Standards") as applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements under IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Company's Audit and Risk Committee on August 6, 2025.
2.2 Use of judgements and estimates
The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
The significant judgements made by management in applying the Company's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the audited annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2024, except as noted below.
Partial Disposal of the New Prosperity Project
On June 5, 2025, the Company entered into a transaction with the Tsilhqot'in Nation and the Province of British Columbia (the "Province"), which involved the disposition of 22.5% of the common shares in 1280860 B.C. Ltd. ("1280860"), the entity which owns the New Prosperity Project as further described in Note 18.
| TASEKO MINES LIMITED Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (Cdn$ in thousands) (Unaudited) |
The Company concluded it retains control of 1280860 under IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, as it retains the ability to direct the business activities that most significantly affect economic returns, including over strategy, budgeting, financing, performing technical and economic studies, and key personnel decisions as they relate to the advancement of the New Prosperity Project. The Tsilhqot'in Nation's consent rights are viewed as protective in nature, consistent with those held by a governing regulatory body.
2.3 New accounting standards issued but not yet effective
In 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces a new structure for the statement of profit or loss, requiring entities to present operating, investing, and financing categories, and enhances disclosures to improve comparability and transparency of financial performance. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, and is applied retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the amendments on its condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
The IASB also issued Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments - Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7. These amendments updated classification and measurement requirements in IFRS 9, Financial Instruments and related disclosure requirements in IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The IASB clarified the recognition and derecognition date of certain financial assets and liabilities, and amended the requirements related to settling financial liabilities using an electronic payment system. It also clarified how to assess the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets in determining whether they meet the solely payments of principal and interest criterion, including financial assets that have environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG)-linked features and other similar contingent features. The IASB added disclosure requirements for financial instruments with contingent features that do not relate directly to basic lending risks and costs, and amended disclosures relating to equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income. The amendments are effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, and are applied retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the amendments on its condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
In addition, the IASB issued the Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2021-2023 Cycle, which includes amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 7, IFRS 9, IFRS 10, and IAS 7, aimed at improving consistency and application. The amendments are effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, and are applied retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating their impact on its condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

c) Florence Copper Stream
On December 19, 2022, the Company signed agreements with Mitsui & Co. (U.S.A.) Inc. ("Mitsui") to form a strategic partnership to develop the Florence Copper project. Mitsui committed to an initial advance of US$50 million, with proceeds to be received in installments of US$10 million, to be used for the construction of the commercial production facility. The initial advance was in the form of a copper stream agreement (the "Copper Stream"), which obligates the Company to deliver 2.67% of the copper produced at Florence Copper, with Mitsui to make an ongoing payment equal to 25% of the monthly average market price of copper on the day immediately preceding delivery under the contract. The Company received the final US$10 million instalment of the US$50 million Copper Stream on January 27, 2025.
Mitsui has the option to invest an additional US$50 million for a 10% equity interest in Florence Copper (the "Equity Conversion Option"). The Equity Conversion Option is exercisable by Mitsui at any time up to three years following completion of construction of the commercial production facility. If Mitsui elects to exercise its Equity Conversion Option, the Copper Stream will terminate. If the Equity Conversion Option is not exercised, the Company will have the right to buy back 100% of the Copper Stream through a cash payment to Mitsui that would provide an internal rate of return of 10% on the stream deposits advanced (the "Buy Back Option"); otherwise, the Copper Stream will terminate once 40 million pounds of copper has been delivered under the agreement.
Taseko and Mitsui have also entered into an offtake contract for 81% of the copper cathode produced at Florence during the initial years of production. The contract will cease and be replaced with a marketing agency agreement if the Equity Conversion Option is exercised by Mitsui. Mitsui's offtake entitlement would also reduce to 30% if the Equity Conversion Option is not exercised, until such time as the Copper Stream deposit is reduced to nil.
The Mitsui agreement is a financial liability measured at fair value each reporting period which includes the Copper Stream, Equity Conversion Option and Buy Back Option. The Company has determined that the fair value of the Copper Stream and Buy Back Option to be $86,444 as at June 30, 2025, based on estimates of future production, future copper prices, and other relevant factors. The Equity Conversion Option has been estimated to have a nominal fair value at June 30, 2025, and since inception of the agreement.

12. ACQUISITION OF CARIBOO COPPER CORPORATION
a) Acquisition of Cariboo from Dowa and Furukawa
On March 25, 2024 (the "Acquisition Date"), the Company completed the acquisition of 50% of Cariboo Copper Corporation ("Cariboo") from Dowa Metals & Mining Co. Ltd. ("Dowa") and Furukawa Co. Ltd. ("Furukawa"), resulting in an additional 12.5% effective interest in Gibraltar, bringing Taseko's total effective interest to 100%. Gibraltar is operated through a joint venture in which Gibraltar Mines Ltd, holds a 75% interest and Cariboo holds the remaining 25% interest.
The acquisition price payable to Dowa and Furukawa ranges from a minimum of $117 million to a maximum of $142 million, with payments spread over a 10-year period (the "Purchase Consideration") from the Acquisition Date. The amount and timing of these payments depend on LME copper prices and Gibraltar's cashflow. The fair value of the Purchase Consideration on the Acquisition Date was determined to be $71,116 (Note 14).
The purchase consideration was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including the additional 12.5% effective interest in the Gibraltar joint venture, based on their estimated fair values at the Acquisition Date. The fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded at $118,542. To account for the difference between the fair value of net assets acquired of $118,542 and the total fair value of consideration payable of $71,116, the Company recognized a bargain purchase gain on the statement of comprehensive (loss) income of $47,426 during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
b) Deemed Disposition at Fair Value of 87.5% Gibraltar Interest on Acquisition of Control
Prior to March 25, 2024, the Company had joint control over the joint arrangement and proportionately consolidated its 87.5% effective interest in the Gibraltar joint venture's assets, liabilities, income and expenses. On March 25, 2024, the Company acquired the remaining 12.5% interest in the Gibraltar joint venture that it did not already own through its purchase of a 50% interest in Cariboo. As a result, the Company obtained control of the Gibraltar joint venture. This acquisition of control, required the Company to reassess its previously held 87.5% interest in Gibraltar and remeasure this interest at fair value as of the March 25, 2024 acquisition date, with any gains or losses recognized immediately in the statement of comprehensive (loss) income. Additionally, the Company was required to measure all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values on this deemed acquisition date.
The fair value of copper concentrate inventory as at the deemed acquisition date was determined to be $37,717 compared to the book value of $22,735, which resulted in a gain of $14,982 recognized in the statement of comprehensive (loss) income for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

The liens on the collateral securing the notes and the guarantees will be first liens, but ranked below the liens of the revolving credit facility. The Company is subject to certain restrictions on asset sales, issuance of preferred stock, dividends, and other restricted payments. There are no covenants regarding the Company's financial performance.
The 2030 Notes contain customary prepayment options, some of which represent embedded derivatives required to be recognized at fair value, with changes in the fair value recognized in the Company's statement of comprehensive (loss) income. The Company has estimated the prepayment options to have a nominal fair value.

There is no interest payable on the minimum amounts. An initial $10 million was paid to Sojitz upon closing and the remaining minimum amount is payable in $10 million annual instalments over five years thereafter.
The contingent performance payments are payable annually for five years only if the average LME copper price exceeds US$3.50 per pound in a year. The payments are calculated by multiplying Gibraltar copper revenues by a price factor, which is based on a sliding scale ranging from 0.38% at US$3.50 per pound copper to a maximum of 2.13% at US$5.00 per pound copper or above. Total contingent payments cannot exceed $57 million over the five-year period, limiting the acquisition cost to a maximum of $117 million.
The third annual instalment payment of $10 million was paid in February 2025 and the contingent payment of $6,645 for the 2024 calendar year was paid on April 1, 2025. The Sojitz minimum payments are a financial liability measured at amortized cost. The Sojitz Contingent Consideration is a financial liability measured at fair value through profit and loss.
Dowa and Furukawa Transaction
Amounts owing by Cariboo to Dowa and Furukawa are by way of non-interest bearing secured and unsecured promissory notes of $45.5 million and $71.5 million, respectively, totaling $117 million (collectively, the "Cariboo Notes" or "Dowa and Furukawa minimum payments") which are guaranteed by Taseko. The secured Cariboo Notes are collateralized by Cariboo's 25% Gibraltar joint venture interest. An initial payment of $5 million was made to Dowa and Furukawa against the Cariboo Notes on closing with the remaining principal payable in annual instalments over a 10-year period commencing in April 2026, with the secured Cariboo Notes repayable first. At average LME copper prices below US$4.00 per pound, the annual repayments of the Cariboo Notes will be $5 million. This repayment amount will increase proportionally, reaching a maximum of $15.25 million when average LME copper prices are US$5.00 per pound or higher.
If average LME copper prices exceed US$5.00 per pound or higher consistently over the repayment period, up to $25 million in contingent consideration is payable by Taseko to Dowa and Furukawa (the "Dowa and Furukawa Contingent Performance Payments"). The Dowa and Furukawa Contingent Performance Payments is a financial liability measured at fair value through profit and loss. The Company estimates this liability to have nil value as at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Annual principal payments cannot exceed 6.25% of Gibraltar's annual cashflow between 2025 and 2028, and 10% between 2029 and 2033. Any remaining balance of the Cariboo Notes will be paid as a final balloon payment in April 2034. The fair value of the Cariboo Notes on the Acquisition Date was determined to be $71,116. The Dowa and Furukawa minimum payments are a financial liability measured at amortized cost, with estimated annual instalments considering the repayment mechanism described above.

17. EQUITY
At-the-market Equity Offering Program
On May 3, 2023, the Company announced that it entered into an equity distribution agreement providing for an at-the-market equity offering program ("ATM") for potential share issuances at an aggregate offering price of up to US$50 million. The fully subscribed ATM was completed during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
As at June 30, 2025, the Company had issued a total of 22,627,320 shares under the ATM program in exchange for total gross proceeds of US$49,976, equivalent to $69,881 - which included a total of 10,566,354 shares for gross proceeds of US$21,519, equivalent to $30,994 during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
18. PARTIAL DISPOSAL OF NEW PROSPERITY PROJECT
On June 5, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement (the "Teẑtan Biny Agreement") with the Tsilhqot'in Nation and the Province, pursuant to which it transferred its New Prosperity mineral tenures and related assets to a wholly owned subsidiary, 1280860, and immediately thereafter transferred 22.5% of the common shares of 1280860 to the TN Interest Trust (the "Trust"), an irrevocable trust established for the benefit of the Tsilhqot'in Nation. In exchange, the Company received $75 million in cash, funded by a contribution from the Province to the Trust. Concurrent with the execution of the Teẑtan Biny Agreement, the Company also agreed to contribute $6 million to the Tsilhqot'in Nation to support community and land use planning initiatives, comprised of a $3 million payment at closing and three annual instalments of $1 million.
Under the Teẑtan Biny Agreement, the Company has agreed to not act as a proponent for development of the New Prosperity Project. If the Tsilhqot'in Nation consents to any ground-disturbing activity, the Trust will distribute the 22.5% equity interest directly to the Tsilhqot'in Nation.
Following the transaction, the Company retained a 77.5% shareholder interest in 1280860 and concluded that it continues to control the entity owning New Prosperity, as it continues to direct the activities that most significantly affect the entity's economic returns. As control was considered to be retained, the partial disposal was accounted for as an equity transaction under IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, with no gain or loss recognized in the statement of comprehensive (loss) income. The difference between the net consideration for the 22.5% shareholding interest of 1280860, less attributable transaction costs, and the carrying amount of that interest was recognized directly in equity. The non-controlling interest recognized as a result of the transaction was nominal, based on its proportionate share of 1280860's net assets.
The New Prosperity Transaction resulted in a net realized gain of $68.8 million recognized directly in equity. There was no net (loss) income or comprehensive (loss) income that was attributable to the non-controlling interest following the closing of the transaction.

23. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, based on the reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values.
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The fair value of the senior secured notes, a Level 1 measurement, is determined based upon publicly available information. The fair values of the senior secured notes are $714,463 (December 31, 2024 - $735,038) and the face value is $682,150 (December 31, 2024 - $719,250) as at June 30, 2025. The Company has certain financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and uses the fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, with Level 1 inputs having the highest priority.

At each reporting date, the Company's settlement receivable on these contracts are marked-to-market based on a quoted forward price for which there exists an active commodity market.
The Cariboo contingent performance payables (Note 14) and the Florence Copper Stream and buy back option (Note 5c), are each Level 3 instruments, as the inputs to their valuation are not based on observable market data.

24. SEGMENTED INFORMATION
Based on the primary locations where the Company generates revenue, or plans to generate revenue, the Company has three reportable segments reported to the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") - Gibraltar, Florence Copper and Yellowhead. Corporate activities are not considered a reportable segment and are included as a reconciliation to total consolidated results. These corporate activities include corporate growth activities and groups that provide administrative, technical, financial and other support to the reportable segments.

Operations Analysis
Second Quarter Review
Mining operations continued to advance through the upper sections of the Connector pit, opening up the deeper, higher quality ore zones for the next phase of mining. A total of 30.4 million tons were mined in the second quarter, a 30% increase over the prior quarter due to increased productivity of the mining fleet. Approximately 65% of the ore mined in the quarter was oxide ore, which was added to the heap leach pads and contributed to a lower strip ratio.
Lower-grade stockpiled ore continued to be the primary source of mill feed in the quarter, resulting in copper production levels similar to the first quarter. Gibraltar produced 19.4 million pounds of copper in concentrate in the second quarter. Copper head grade was 0.20% and recovery was 63%, impacted by oxidation and supergene material in the stockpiled ore which mainly originated from the upper benches of the Connector pit. Mill throughput was 7.7 million tons in the quarter and remained consistently at nameplate capacity throughout the quarter.
In the second quarter, Gibraltar completed the refurbishment and successfully restarted its solvent extraction and electrowinning ("SX/EW") plant which had been idle since 2015 and produced 395 thousand pounds of copper cathode.
Capitalized stripping costs totaling $30.8 million remained higher in the second quarter attributable to a higher than normal strip ratio for sulphide ore tons in the Connector pit. Total site costs* including capitalized stripping was $116.8 million in the quarter, higher than the prior quarter primarily due to higher mining rates. Total site costs were also higher than the prior year quarter due to mill downtime in 2024 related to a labour strike and crusher relocation project.
Molybdenum production was 180 thousand pounds in the second quarter, comparable to 185 thousand pounds in the comparative prior year quarter. At an average molybdenum price of US$20.71 per pound for the quarter, molybdenum contributed a by-product credit of US$0.19 per pound of copper produced.
Off-property costs of US$0.18 per pound of copper produced were consistent with the prior quarter and reflect Gibraltar's 2025 offtake agreements with average treatment and refining charges ("TCRC") of $nil for the year.
Total operating (C1) costs* were US$3.14 per pound of copper produced in the second quarter compared to US$2.99 per pound of copper produced in the comparative prior year quarter. The increase in total operating (C1) costs was attributable to low site operating costs in the prior year from mill downtime, as well as lower copper production, more oxide ore added to the leach pads and lower molybdenum by-product credits in the current quarter, partially offset by higher capitalized stripping costs and lower off-property costs as outlined in the bridge graph below:
| TASEKO MINES LIMITED Management's Discussion and Analysis |

Gibraltar Outlook
Mining activity will continue to advance in the Connector pit, which will be the primary source of mill feed for the remainder of 2025 and the years ahead. Significant increases in head grades and recoveries, and higher mill throughput from processing the softer Connector pit ore, are expected in the second half of 2025 and continuing into 2026. Copper production for the year is expected to be 110 to 120 million pounds, including cathode production.
Molybdenum production is also forecast to increase in the second half of 2025 as molybdenum grades are expected to be notably higher in Connector pit ore.
The Company has offtake agreements covering Gibraltar concentrate production in 2025 and 2026, which contain significantly lower and in certain cases negative (premium) TCRC rates reflecting the tight copper smelting market. Offtake agreements are in place for substantially all of Gibraltar's copper concentrate production in 2025 and 2026, and, based on the contract terms, the Company expects average TCRCs to be to around $nil in 2025 and 2026.
| TASEKO MINES LIMITED Management's Discussion and Analysis |
The Company has a prudent hedging program in place to protect a minimum copper price and Gibraltar cash flow during the Florence Copper construction period. Currently, the Company has copper collar contracts in place that secure a minimum copper price of US$4.00 per pound for 54 million pounds of copper production for the remainder of 2025 (refer to "Financial Condition Review-Hedging Strategy" for details).
Florence Copper
The Company has all the key permits in place for the commercial production facility at Florence and construction continues to advance on schedule. Over 900,000 project hours have been worked with no reportable injuries or environmental incidents. The Company has a fixed-price contract with the general contractor for construction of the SX/EW plant and associated surface infrastructure and activities are beginning to wind down from peak spend in the first quarter.
All injection and recovery wells planned to be drilled during the construction phase were completed as of June 30, 2025. Remaining construction activities are advancing on plan and project areas will soon start transitioning to commissioning.
Operational readiness remains a key focus for site management. Site activities are focused on hiring additional personnel and developing detailed operating plans for the ramp up of production, which is expected to begin before the end of this year.

Long-term Growth Strategy
Taseko's strategy has been to grow the company by acquiring and developing a pipeline of projects focused on copper in North America. We continue to believe this will generate long-term returns for shareholders. Our other development projects are located in BC, Canada.
Yellowhead Copper Project
The Yellowhead copper project ("Yellowhead") is expected to produce 4.4 billion pounds of copper over a 25-year mine life at an average C1 cost, net of by-product credit, of US$1.90 per pound of copper produced. During the first 5 years of operation, Yellowhead is expected to produce an average of 206 million pounds of copper per year at an average C1 cost, net of by-product credit, of US$1.62 per pound of copper produced. Yellowhead also contains valuable precious metal by-products with 282,000 ounces of gold production and 19.4 million ounces of silver production over the life of mine.
The economic analysis in the Yellowhead 2025 Technical Report (defined below) was prepared using a long-term copper price of US$4.25 per pound, a long-term gold price of US$2,400 per ounce, and a long-term silver price of US$28.00 per ounce. This report titled "Technical Report Update on the Yellowhead Copper Project, British Columbia, Canada" (the "Yellowhead 2025 Technical Report") was published on July 10, 2025 under the supervision of Richard Weymark, P. Eng., MBA, Vice President, Engineering for Taseko and a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101.
Project highlights based on the Yellowhead 2025 Technical Report are detailed below:
• Average annual copper production of 178 million pounds over a 25 year mine life at total cash costs (C1) of US$1.90 per pound of copper produced;
• Over the first 5 years of the mine life, copper grade is expected to average 0.32% producing an average of 206 million pounds of copper at total cash costs (C1) of US$1.62 per pound of copper produced;
• Concentrator designed to process 90,000 tonnes per day of ore with an expected copper recovery of 90%, and produce a clean copper concentrate with payable gold and silver by-products;
• Conventional open pit mining with a low strip ratio of 1.4;
• After-tax net present value of $2.0 billion (8% after-tax discount rate) and after-tax internal rate of return of 21%;
• Initial capital costs of $2.0 billion with a payback period of 3.3 years; and
• Expected to be eligible for the Canadian federal Clean Technology Manufacturing Investment Tax Credit, with 30% (approximately $540 million) of eligible initial capital costs reimbursed in year 1 of operation.
In the second quarter, the project's Initial Project Description was filed and accepted by the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Office and Impact Assessment Agency of Canada, formally commencing the Environmental Assessment process. The Company has been engaging with project stakeholders to ensure that the development of Yellowhead is in line with environmental and social expectations. The Company opened a community Yellowhead project office in 2024 to support ongoing engagement with local communities including First Nations.

New Prosperity Copper-Gold project
In June 2025, Taseko, the Tŝilhqot'in Nation and the Province of BC reached a historic agreement concerning the New Prosperity project (the "Teẑtan Biny Agreement"). The Teẑtan Biny Agreement ends litigation among the parties while providing certainty with respect to how the significant copper-gold resource at New Prosperity may be developed in the future, and meaningfully advances the goals of reconciliation in BC.
Key elements of the Teẑtan Biny Agreement include:
• Taseko received a payment of $75 million from the Province of BC upon closing of the agreement;
• Taseko contributed a 22.5% equity interest in the New Prosperity mineral tenures to a trust for the future benefit of the Tŝilhqot'in Nation. The trust will transfer the property interest to the Tŝilhqot'in Nation if and when it consents to a proposal to pursue mineral development in the project area;
• Taseko retains a majority interest (77.5%) in the New Prosperity mineral tenures and can divest some or all of its interest at any time, including to other mining companies that could advance a project with the consent of the Tŝilhqot'in Nation. However, Taseko has committed not to be the proponent (operator) of mineral exploration and development activities at New Prosperity, nor the owner of a future mine development;
• Taseko has entered into a consent agreement with the Tŝilhqot'in Nation, whereby no mineral exploration or development activity can proceed in the New Prosperity project area without the free, prior and informed consent of the Tŝilhqot'in Nation;
• The Province of BC and the Tŝilhqot'in Nation have agreed to negotiate the process by which the consent of the Tŝilhqot'in Nation will be sought for any proposed mining project to proceed through an environmental assessment process; and
• The Tŝilhqot'in Nation and the Province of BC have agreed to undertake a land-use planning process for the area of the mineral tenures and a broader area of land within Tŝilhqot'in territory. The Province of BC will provide funding to the Tŝilhqot'in Nation to facilitate the land-use planning process and for a Cultural Revitalization Fund.
Aley Niobium project
The converter pilot test is ongoing to provide additional process data to support the design of commercial process facilities, and final product samples to support product marketing initiatives. The Company is also conducting a scoping study to investigate the potential for Aley niobium oxide production to supply the growing market for niobium-based batteries.
Annual General Meeting
The Company's Annual General Meeting was held on June 12, 2025 and shareholders voted in favor of all items of business before the meeting, including the continuation of the Company's amended and restated shareholders rights plan for a 3-year period and the advisory resolution on executive compensation (Say-on-Pay), and the election of all director nominees. Detailed voting results for the 2025 Annual General Meeting are available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Annual Sustainability Report
In June 2025, the Company published its annual Sustainability Report titled C2 (Copper x Community) (the "Report"). The Report highlights Taseko's operational and sustainability achievements, with an emphasis on the connection between copper production and the people, communities, and social environments that support and benefit from our operations and projects.
With 20 years of successful operations under Taseko's stewardship, 2024 marked a milestone year for the Company's flagship operation, the Gibraltar mine. As Canada's second-largest copper mine, Gibraltar continues to reflect Taseko's commitment to operational excellence, health and safety, and delivering '360° of Value' for all stakeholders.
Florence Copper will soon become one of the lowest carbon and energy-intensive copper producers in the world, offering domestically produced, traceable and high-purity copper metal to support North American manufacturing and economic security.
While profitable operations and return on investment are critical drivers for Taseko's success, the Company also delivers value to its employees and operating communities, business partners, Indigenous Nations and governments. The Report is an opportunity to showcase the important benefits that the Company generates through its operations, investments and people.

Market Review

![]() |
1 Commodity prices in US dollars per pound.
2 Sources: London Metal Exchange for copper prices, Platts Metals for molybdenum prices, Bank of Canada for Canadian dollar/US dollar exchange rates.
Copper prices on the London Metal Exchange ("LME") are currently around US$4.35 per pound compared to US$4.55 per pound at June 30, 2025 and the second quarter average LME copper price of US$4.32 per pound. Copper prices have experienced significant volatility influenced by uncertainty in US trade policies. Copper prices climbed in the second quarter driven by tightening global supply, and a push to redirect shipments to the US ahead of possible import tariffs leading to a drawdown of inventories on other exchanges.
Potential US import tariffs would not have a material impact on sales at Gibraltar as the mine produces copper and molybdenum concentrates that are sold to international metal traders and delivered to Asian markets. Offtake agreements are in place for substantially all of Gibraltar's copper concentrate production in 2025 and 2026, and no changes to these sales channels are expected during this period. Future production at Florence is expected to remain in the US for domestic consumption.
Longer-term demand for copper is expected to remain strong driven by electrification, renewable energy transition, artificial intelligence and overall industrial activity while tight supply conditions are expected to continue due to few available sources of new primary copper supply. These factors continue to provide unprecedented catalysts and support a higher copper price in the longer term as new mine supply lags behind growth in copper demand.
Smelter treatment and refining charges remain historically low, including spot rates at negative (premium) rates, driven by an increase in global copper smelting capacity and disruptions in the supply of copper concentrates. Tight copper concentrate supply could continue putting persistent pressure on spot TCRC rates.
Approximately 6% of the Company's revenue is made up of molybdenum sales and Connector pit ore is expected to provide higher molybdenum grades in the coming years. Molybdenum prices are currently around US$23.75 per pound compared to US$21.85 per pound at June 30, 2025 and the second quarter average molybdenum price of US$20.71 per pound. The Company's sales agreements specify molybdenum pricing based on published Platts Metals reports.
The Company's sales contracts are priced in US dollars while a majority of Gibraltar's costs are Canadian dollar denominated, and, therefore, fluctuations in the Canadian dollar/US dollar exchange rate can have a significant effect on the Company's financial results.

1 The $15.0 million gain on acquisition of control of Gibraltar recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2024 relates to the write-up to fair value for Taseko's 87.5% interest in Gibraltar's finished copper concentrate inventory held at the date of acquisition of control of Gibraltar (March 25, 2024) as a result of the Company's acquisition of Cariboo. These gains have been eliminated from Adjusted net (loss) income and added back in the period the inventory was sold.
2 Cost of sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 included $4.6 million and $18.0 million, respectively, in write-ups to fair value for Gibraltar's finished copper concentrate inventory held at the date of acquisition of Cariboo (March 25, 2024) that was subsequently sold and realized. The realized portion of the gain recorded for GAAP purposes has been included in Adjusted net (loss) income in the period the inventory was sold.
3 Cost of sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 included $3.2 million in write-ups to fair value for Gibraltar's ore stockpile inventories held at the date of acquisition of Cariboo (March 25, 2024) that was subsequently processed. The realized portion of the gain recorded for GAAP purposes has been included in Adjusted net (loss) income in the period the inventory was processed.
Adjusted net loss was $13.0 million ($0.04 loss per share) for the second quarter compared to Adjusted net income of $30.5 million ($0.10 earnings per share) for the comparative prior year quarter. The decrease in Adjusted earnings of $43.5 million was primarily due to a $26.3 million insurance recovery recorded in the prior year as well as lower production and sales volumes and weaker average copper prices in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. Total site costs also increased due to higher mining rates as Gibraltar utilized three additional haul trucks, partially offset by lower input commodity prices primarily for diesel and higher waste stripping due to mining of waste tons above the average strip ratio as Gibraltar continued pushback activities in the Connector pit. Mill feed was sourced from lower grade stockpiled ore, adversely affecting metallurgical recoveries and production, and contributed to increased unit production costs and lower operating margins.
| TASEKO MINES LIMITED Management's Discussion and Analysis |
Net income was $21.9 million ($0.07 per share) for the second quarter which included an unrealized foreign exchange gains on the Company's US dollar-denominated debt in the amount of $40.3 million as well as the recognition of a deferred tax asset on net capital losses previously unrecognized that were used to offset the gain on proceeds received for New Prosperity recognized directly in equity. Net income was partially reduced from the impact of unrealized losses on derivatives primarily due to the increasing copper price trend in the current quarter, accretion on the Florence royalty obligation to Taurus, and accretion and fair value adjustments on Cariboo consideration payable. Net loss was $11.0 million ($0.04 loss per share) for the comparative prior year quarter after factoring in losses from the refinance of the Company's outstanding debt.
Adjusted net loss was $20.0 million ($0.06 loss per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to Adjusted net income of $38.2 million ($0.13 earnings per share) for the comparative prior year period. The decrease in Adjusted earnings of $58.2 million was primarily due to lower copper production and sales volume, partially offset by stronger average copper prices in the first half of 2025. Unit cost of sales were also higher due to processing of lower grade stockpiled ore and lower recoveries which carry higher costs per recoverable pound of copper.
Net loss was $6.7 million ($0.02 loss per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2025 after adding back unrealized foreign exchange gains due to a weakening of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar and its effect on US dollar-denominated borrowings and deferred tax recovery recognized on the Company's sale of a non-controlling interest in New Prosperity, offset by unrealized losses on derivatives, accretion on Florence royalty obligation, and accretion and fair value adjustments on Cariboo consideration payable. Net income was $7.9 million ($0.03 earnings per share) for the comparative prior year period after factoring in gains related to the acquisition of Cariboo from Dowa and Furukawa.
No adjustments were made to Adjusted net (loss) income for price adjustments on settlements during the period.

| TASEKO MINES LIMITED Management's Discussion and Analysis |
Copper revenues were $109.3 million for the second quarter compared to $133.2 million for the comparative prior year quarter. The overall decrease in copper revenues of $23.9 million was attributable to a negative sales volume variance of $20.8 million due to lower sales by 3.4 million pounds in the current quarter and a negative price variance of $4.2 million due to lower average realized copper prices of US$0.17 per pound in the current quarter, partially offset by a favorable foreign exchange variance of $1.1 million.
Copper revenues were $237.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $277.1 million for the comparative prior year period. The overall decrease in copper revenues of $40.1 million was attributable to a negative volume variance of $56.9 million due to lower sales of 12.9 million pounds in the first half of 2025, partially offset by a positive price variance of $7.7 million due to higher average realized copper prices of US$0.13 per pound in the current period and a positive foreign exchange variance of $9.1 million due to the relative strength of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar in the current period.
Molybdenum revenues were $4.8 million and $13.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $7.6 million and $14.2 million for the comparative prior year periods. The decrease in molybdenum revenues of $2.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively, was primarily driven by decreased sales volume due to lower recovery and grade from the processing of stockpiled materials.
Gold revenues were $0.4 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as the Company benefited from payable gold for the first time as one of its concentrate offtake agreements paid for gold contained in the Gibraltar concentrate.
The Company recorded treatment and refining premiums of $0.8 million and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to treatment and refining costs of $4.4 million and $9.8 million for the comparative prior year periods, reflecting the favorable TCRC rates realized under the Company's 2025 offtake agreements.

1 Results for the six months ended June 30, 2024 reflect the Company's 87.5% effective interest in Gibraltar for the period from January 1 to March 24, 2024 and 100% effective interest thereafter.
Site operating costs were $86.1 million for the second quarter compared to $79.8 million for the comparative prior year quarter. The increase in site operating costs of $6.3 million was primarily attributable to the impact of the June 2024 unionized labour strike at Gibraltar which reduced site operating costs in the comparative prior year quarter as well as the impact of the crusher relocation project and concurrent mill maintenance project had on reducing milling costs in the comparative prior year quarter. The current quarter also had higher mining rates with a greater portion capitalized as excess stripping for the current pushback in the Connector pit compared to the prior year quarter.
Site operating costs were $155.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $159.5 million for the comparative prior year period. The decrease in site operating costs of $4.5 million was primarily attributable to higher capitalized stripping costs for the current period.
| TASEKO MINES LIMITED Management's Discussion and Analysis |
Transportation costs were $5.7 million and $11.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $6.4 million and $16.6 million for the comparative prior year periods and reflect the lower sales volume in the current periods.
Cost of sales was also impacted by changes in stockpile inventories. Stockpiled ore material was used to supplement mined ore for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 depleting 4.3 million tons and 9.9 million tons of sulphide ore stockpiles and contributing to an increase in production costs of $18.0 million and $46.2 million, respectively. In addition, oxide ore stockpiles increased by 5.7 million tons and 7.9 million tons contributing to a decrease in production costs of $12.3 million and $17.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as Gibraltar continues to mine through the top oxide ore layer in the Connector pit and adding this material to the heap leach pads.
Cost of sales was also impacted by changes in copper finished goods inventories and the unit cost thereof. The unit cost of copper inventories increased during the period due to lower metallurgical recoveries from the processing of lower grade stockpiled ore which resulted in fewer copper pounds produced per ton of ore milled. Copper finished goods inventories increased by 0.4 million pounds for the second quarter and contributed to a decrease in production costs of $2.1 million. Copper finished goods inventories decreased by 1.4 million pounds for the six months ended June 30, 2025, offset by increased inventory unit cost, and contributed to an increase in production costs of $0.6 million.
In the comparative prior year quarter, cost of sales included inventory write-ups to fair value of $13.4 million for concentrate inventory held at the date of acquisition of control of Gibraltar (March 25, 2024) arising from the Company's acquisition of Cariboo that was subsequently sold in the first quarter of 2024.
Depletion and amortization increased by $11.5 million and $18.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the comparative prior year periods due to the release of depreciation included in stockpile inventory costs that were processed and released during the period.

1 The $15.0 million gain on acquisition of control of Gibraltar recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2024 relates to the write-up to fair value for Taseko's 87.5% interest in Gibraltar's finished copper concentrate inventory held at the date of acquisition of control of Gibraltar (March 25, 2024) as a result of the Company's acquisition of Cariboo.
General and administrative expenses were $4.1 million for the second quarter compared to $3.5 million for the comparative prior year quarter, and $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $6.6 million for the comparative prior year period. The increase in general and administrative expenses was attributable to increasing administrative spend at Florence as the site prepares for operational ramp up of the Florence Copper project later this year.
Share-based compensation expenses is comprised of the amortization of share options and performance share units, and fair value adjustments on deferred share units and restricted share units. Share-based compensation expenses increased by $2.2 million and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, primarily due to the increase in the Company's share price and its impact on the valuation of deferred share units and restricted share units. For more information, refer to the Financial Statements-Note 19.
Realized loss on derivative instruments was $1.6 million and $3.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, comparable with $1.7 million and $3.4 million for the comparative prior year periods and consists of the amortization of premiums paid for copper collars and fuel calls held by the Company as part of the Company's hedging strategy. Unrealized loss on derivative instruments was $0.9 million for the second quarter compared to $10.0 million for the comparative prior year quarter, and $22.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $13.6 million for the comparative prior year period. Changes in unrealized loss on derivative instruments primarily relates to the change in fair value on the Company's outstanding copper collars and reflects volatility in copper price trends.
Fair value adjustment on Florence copper stream derivative was $3.5 million for the second quarter and $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Fair value adjustment on Cariboo contingent performance payment was $5.1 million for the second quarter and $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. These fair value adjustments reflect upward changes in forecast copper prices and changes in discount rates applied over the term of the respective instruments.
| TASEKO MINES LIMITED Management's Discussion and Analysis |
Project evaluation expense represents costs associated with the New Prosperity project and other technical expenditures undertaken by Taseko's engineering and technical teams on various project initiatives.
On March 25, 2024, the Company completed its acquisition of the remaining 50% of Cariboo from Dowa and Furukawa and increased its effective interest in Gibraltar from 87.5% to 100%. The Company recognized a gain on acquisition of Cariboo of $47.4 million on the acquisition representing the difference between the estimated fair value of net assets acquired and the estimated fair value of total consideration payable. The acquisition also gave the Company full control over Gibraltar and required a deemed disposition and reacquisition of its previously held 87.5% interest in Gibraltar according to IFRS Accounting Standards. The Company recognized a gain on acquisition of control of Gibraltar of $15.0 million representing the write-up of finished copper concentrate inventory held at the date of acquisition to fair value. Further details on the Cariboo acquisition can be found in the Financial Statements-Note 12a.

The increase in net finance expenses was primarily driven by the impact of higher principal outstanding and coupon rate on the 8.25% senior secured notes due May 2030 that were issued in April 2024 captured in the current periods, and interest charges on outstanding advances against the Company's corporate revolving credit facility. Capitalized interest attributable to the funding of Florence Copper development costs increased by $1.6 million and $4.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, proportionate with increased spend on the Florence Copper commercial production facility.
| TASEKO MINES LIMITED Management's Discussion and Analysis |
Accretion on Cariboo consideration payable was $4.5 million for the second quarter and $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and represents the inherent financing component of the fixed payment portion of the Sojitz earn-out agreement.
Accretion on Florence royalty obligation was $6.2 million for the second quarter and $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and reflects changes in forecast copper prices applied over the term of the Florence royalty obligation.

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was higher than the combined BC mineral tax rate and federal statutory income tax rate of 36.5% primarily due to unrealized foreign exchange gains on the Company's senior secured notes which are not recognized for deferred tax purposes.
The deferred income tax recovery of $26.2 million recognized in the current quarter also included $9.3 million related to the recognition of previously unrecognized net capital losses that were utilized to offset capital gains recognized on the sale of a minority interest in the New Prosperity project.
| TASEKO MINES LIMITED Management's Discussion and Analysis |
Current income tax recovery for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 represents an adjustment for the prior year's BC mineral tax payable.

1 Excludes current portion of long-term debt.
The Company's asset base is principally comprised of property, plant and equipment reflecting the capital-intensive nature of its large scale, open pit mining operation at Gibraltar and the commercial SX/EW facility at Florence. Other current assets primarily include accounts receivable, inventories (concentrate inventories, ore stockpiles, and supplies), prepaid expenses, and marketable securities. Concentrate inventories, accounts receivable and cash balances can fluctuate due to the timing of sales and cash settlements.
Property, plant and equipment increased $184.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which includes Florence Copper construction costs of $152.2 million (capital project costs of $138.0 million and site costs of $14.2 million) and Gibraltar capital expenditures of $109.4 million (capitalized stripping costs of $79.1 million and other capital expenditures of $30.3 million).
| TASEKO MINES LIMITED Management's Discussion and Analysis |
Net debt increased $84.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to increased borrowings against the Company's revolving credit facility and decreases in cash and equivalents as the Company continues its funding of the construction of the Florence Copper commercial facility, offset by the effect of a weaker US dollar and the foreign exchange impact on US dollar-denominated borrowings and repayments of the Company's equipment financings during the quarter.
Cariboo consideration payable relates to earn-out payments on the acquisition of Cariboo. Cariboo consideration payable decreased by $23.6 million primarily due to payments made to Sojitz of $16.6 million in the period.
Florence royalty obligation increased by $4.2 million due to fair value changes as a result of increased copper prices applied over the term of the obligation. The liability recorded for the Florence copper stream increased by $18.6 million primarily due to the receipt of the final US$10.0 million instalment on the Mitsui copper stream.
Deferred revenue relates to the advance payments received from OR Royalties Inc. (formerly Osisko Gold Royalties Inc.) for the sale of future silver production from Gibraltar and customer advance payments on copper concentrate.
Other liabilities decreased by $39.2 million primarily due to changes in deferred tax liabilities.
At August 6, 2025, there were 316,764,113 common shares and 10,208,435 stock options outstanding. More information on these instruments and the terms of their exercise can be found in the Financial Statements-Notes 17 and 19.
Liquidity, cash flow and capital resources
At June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and equivalents of $122.0 million (December 31, 2024 - $172.7 million) and available liquidity of $197.0 million (December 31, 2024 - $331.0 million).
Cash flows provided by operations was $26.0 million for the second quarter compared to $34.7 million for the comparative prior year quarter, and $81.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $94.3 million for the comparative prior year period. The decrease in cash flows provided by operations was primarily due to decreased sales volumes partially offset by a stronger copper price. Operating cash flows also benefited from the release of stockpile inventories in the quarter, the costs for which were incurred in prior periods.
Cash flows used for investing activities were $127.3 million for the second quarter compared to $80.8 million for the comparative prior year quarter. Investing activities include $46.9 million in capital expenditures at Gibraltar (capitalized stripping of $30.8 million and other capital expenditures of $16.1 million) and $79.1 million in capital expenditures at Florence Copper including $6.5 million in capitalized site costs.
Cash flows used for investing activities were $258.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $127.5 million for the comparative prior year period. Investing activities include $98.6 million in capital expenditures at Gibraltar (capitalized stripping of $68.9 million and other capital expenditures of $29.7 million) and $159.0 million in capital expenditures at Florence Copper including $14.2 million in capitalized site costs.
Cash flows provided by financing activities were $104.8 million for the second quarter compared to $87.0 million for the comparative prior year quarter. Financing activities include $71.8 million in net proceeds the Company received from the Province of BC upon closing of the Teẑtan Biny Agreement and $76.1 million (US$55.0 million) advanced against the Company's revolving credit facility, offset by $32.6 million in interest payments including the May 2025 interest payment against the Company's 8.25% senior secured debt, $5.1 million in net repayments against the Company's equipment debt, and $6.6 million in payment to Sojitz related to the acquisition of Cariboo.
| TASEKO MINES LIMITED Management's Discussion and Analysis |
Cash flows provided by financing activities were $126.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $135.5 million for the comparative prior year period. Financing activities include $71.8 million in net proceeds the Company received from the Province of BC upon closing of the Teẑtan Biny Agreement, $76.1 million (US$55.0 million) advanced against the Company's revolving credit facility, $29.6 million (US$21.1 million) in net proceeds from shares issued under the Company's ATM equity offering and $14.4 million (US$10.0 million) from the final instalment of the US$50 million Mitsui copper stream, offset by $35.6 million in interest payments, $15.3 million in net repayments against the Company's equipment debt, and $16.6 million in payments to Sojitz related to the acquisition of Cariboo.
Liquidity outlook
At June 30, 2025, the Company had approximately $197.0 million (December 31, 2024 - $331.0 million) of available liquidity including $122.0 million in cash and equivalents and US$55 million undrawn capacity on its corporate revolving credit facility. A total of US$55.0 million has been advanced under the Company's revolving credit facility and is currently outstanding. In June 2025, Taseko, the Tŝilhqot'in Nation and Province of BC entered into the Teẑtan Biny Agreement and the Company received a $75 million payment from the Province of BC upon closing of the agreement out of which it paid $3 million and committed another $1 million a year for the next three years to the Tŝilhqot'in Nation to support community and land use planning initiatives.
The Company expects copper production levels to return to more typical levels in the quarters ahead as the current pushback in the Connector pit advances and access to the Connector ore body is established. Mining has begun to expose the higher grade ore zones of the Connector pit, and copper production is expected to increase in the second half of 2025 over the first half driven by significant increases in head grades and metallurgical recoveries. Molybdenum production is also expected to increase due to higher expected molybdenum grades in Connector pit ore and with more steady operation of the molybdenum plant.
Gibraltar has completed refurbishment of its SX/EW plant and has been producing copper cathode to supplement copper production from its concentrator mills. Gibraltar has no other significant capital projects planned for the remainder of 2025.
Construction of the Florence Copper commercial production facility is over 90% complete with first cathode production expected before the end of 2025. Florence Copper will supply domestically produced copper cathode to the US market. The Company intends to finance the remaining capital costs over the next 12 months from available liquidity, cash flows from Gibraltar and its corporate revolving credit facility.
If needed, the Company could raise further additional capital through equity financings or asset sales, including royalties, sales of project interests, or joint ventures, or additional credit facilities, including additional notes offerings or increasing borrowings from commercial banks or credit funds. The Company evaluates these financing alternatives based on a number of factors, including the prevailing metal prices and projected operating cash flows from Gibraltar, relative valuation, liquidity requirements, covenant restrictions and other factors, in order to optimize the Company's cost of capital and maximize shareholder value.
Future changes in copper and molybdenum market prices could also impact the timing and amount of cash available for future investment in the Company's capital commitments and development projects, debt obligations and other uses of capital. To mitigate commodity price risks in the short term, copper price options are entered into for a substantial portion of Gibraltar's copper production and the Company has a long track history of doing so. The Company currently has copper price protection in place for 54 million pounds of production for the remainder of the year.
| TASEKO MINES LIMITED Management's Discussion and Analysis |
Hedging strategy
The Company generally fixes all or substantially all of the copper prices of its copper concentrate shipments at the time of shipment. Where the customer's offtake contract does not provide a price fixing option, the Company may look to undertake a quotational period hedge directly with a financial institution as the counterparty in order to fix the price of the shipment.
To protect against sudden and unexpected copper price volatility in the market, the Company's hedging strategy aims to secure a minimum price for a significant portion of future copper production using copper put options that are either purchased outright or substantially funded by the sale of copper call options that are out of the money. The amount and duration of the copper hedge positions is based on an assessment of business-specific risk elements combined with the copper pricing outlook. Copper price and quantity exposure are reviewed regularly to ensure that adequate revenue protection is in place.
Hedge positions are typically extended by adding incremental quarters at established floor prices (the strike price of the copper put option) to provide the necessary price protection. Considerations for the cost of the hedging program include an assessment of Gibraltar's estimated production costs, copper price trends and the Company's fixed capital requirements during the relevant period. During periods of volatility or step changes in the copper price, the Company may revisit outstanding hedging contracts and determine whether copper put (floor) or call (ceiling) levels should be adjusted in line with the market while maintaining copper price protection.
From time to time, the Company will look at potential hedging opportunities that mitigate the risk of rising input costs, including foreign exchange and fuel prices, where such a strategy is cost effective. To protect against a potential operating margin squeeze that could arise from oil and diesel price shocks, the Company purchases fuel call options to provide a price ceiling for diesel that is used by the mining fleet.
A summary of the Company's outstanding hedge positions is as follows:
| Notional amount | Strike price | Term to maturity | Original cost | |||||

| Copper collars | 54 million lbs | Floor - US$4.00 per lb Ceiling - US$5.40 per lb |

1 The Company has in place a secured US$110 million corporate revolving credit facility with a maturity date of November 2027. Advances under the facility bear interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus an applicable margin. At June 30, 2025, the Company has US$55.0 million advanced and outstanding against its corporate revolving credit facility.
2 On March 15, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of 50% of Cariboo from Sojitz. The acquisition price payable to Sojitz is a minimum of $60 million payable over a 5-year period and potential contingent payments depending on Gibraltar copper revenue and copper prices. $30 million of the $60 million minimum amount has been paid to Sojitz as of June 30, 2025. The remaining minimum amounts will be paid in $10 million annual instalments over the next 3 years. There is no interest payable on the minimum amounts. The Company also estimates $35.3 million payable over the next 3 years related to the contingent consideration, which has not been included in the table above.
3 On March 25, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of the remaining 50% of Cariboo from Dowa and Furukawa. The acquisition price payable to Dowa and Furukawa is a minimum of $117 million and a maximum of $142 million payable over a 10-year period. The quantum and timing of these payments depends on copper prices and Gibraltar cash flow. An initial payment of $5 million was paid to Dowa and Furukawa on closing, with remaining consideration payable in annual instalments starting in April 2026.
4 Provisional for environmental rehabilitation amounts presented represent the present value of estimated costs of legal and constructive obligations required to retire an asset, including decommissioning and other site restoration activities, primarily for Gibraltar and Florence Copper. At June 30, 2025, the Company has provided surety bonds for $124.2 million for Gibraltar's reclamation security and US$36.1 million for Florence Copper's reclamation security.
5 Transportation-related services include ocean freight and port handling services, which are both cancelable upon certain operating circumstances.
| TASEKO MINES LIMITED Management's Discussion and Analysis |
Concurrent with the execution of the Teẑtan Biny Agreement, the Company also agreed to contribute $6 million to the Tŝilhqot'in Nation to support community and land use planning initiatives, comprised of a $3 million payment at closing and three annual instalments of $1 million.
At June 30, 2025, the Company has made capital expenditure commitments relating to the Florence Copper commercial facility construction project totaling $10.8 million (December 31, 2024 - $47.9 million).
In December 2024, Gibraltar received an amendment to its M-40 permit in which the required closure bonding from the Province of BC was increased from $108.5 million to $139.9 million. Gibraltar was required to post this additional bonding over a 15-month period. In March 2025, Gibraltar posted surety bonds of $15.7 million to the Province of BC, and in July 2025 Gibraltar posted additional surety bonding of $1.0 million to the Province of BC. The Company intends to post additional surety bonds to meet the remaining bonding requirements from insurance underwriters.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company's material accounting policies are presented in Note 2.4 of the 2024 annual consolidated financial statements. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies, including the accounting for the Cariboo acquisition, and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
| TASEKO MINES LIMITED Management's Discussion and Analysis |
In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, significant areas where judgment is required include the determination of a joint arrangement, the determination of the timing of transfer of control of inventory for revenue recognition, provisions for environmental rehabilitation, reserve and resource estimation, functional currency, the determination of the accounting treatment for the advance payment under the silver purchase and sale agreement reported as deferred revenue, and recovery of other deferred tax assets.
Significant areas of estimation include reserve and resource estimation, fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, asset valuations and the measurement of impairment charges or reversals, valuation of inventories, plant and equipment lives, tax provisions, provisions for environmental rehabilitation, valuation of financial instruments and derivatives, capitalized stripping costs and share-based compensation. Key estimates and assumptions made by management with respect to these areas have been disclosed in the notes to the Financial Statements.
The accuracy of reserve and resource estimates is a function of the quantity and quality of available data and the assumptions made and judgment used in the engineering and geological interpretation, and may be subject to revisions based on various factors. Changes in reserve and resource estimates may impact the carrying value of property, plant and equipment, the calculation of deprecation expense, the capitalization of stripping costs incurred during production, and the timing of cash flows related to the provision for environmental rehabilitation.
Changes in forecast prices of commodities, exchange rates, production costs and recovery rates may change the economic status of reserve and resources. Forecast prices of commodities, exchange rates, production costs and recovery rates, and discount rates assumptions, either individually or collectively, may impact the carrying value of derivative financial instruments, inventories, property, plant and equipment, and intangibles, as well as the measurement of impairment charges or reversals. These factors also impacted the fair values of assets and liabilities recorded on the acquisition of Cariboo disclosed in the Financial Statements-Notes 12 and 14.
There were no changes in accounting policies during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Internal and Disclosure Controls Over Financial Reporting
The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting ("ICFR") and disclosure controls and procedures ("DC&P").
The Company's internal control system over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to management and the Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. Internal controls over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets of the Company;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and,
(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
| TASEKO MINES LIMITED Management's Discussion and Analysis |
The Company's internal control system over disclosure controls and procedures is designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to the Company is made known to management and disclosed to others and information required to be disclosed by the Company in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted by us under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the securities legislation.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial reporting and disclosure.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting and disclosure.
Key Management Personnel
Key management personnel ("KMP") include the members of the Board of Directors and executive officers of the Company.
The Company contributes to a post-employment defined contribution pension plan on behalf of certain KMP. This retirement compensation arrangement (the "RCA Trust") was established to provide benefits to certain executive officers on or after retirement in recognition of their long service. Upon retirement, the participant is entitled to the distribution of the accumulated value of the contributions under the RCA Trust. Obligations for contributions to the defined contribution pension plan are recognized as compensation expense in the periods during which services are rendered by the executive officers.
Certain executive officers are entitled to termination and change in control benefits. In the event of termination without cause, other than a change in control, these executive officers are entitled to an amount ranging from 12-months' to 18-months' salary. In the event of a change in control, if a termination without cause or a resignation occurs within 12 months following the change in control, these executive officers are entitled to receive, among other things, an amount ranging from 12-months' to 24-months' salary and accrued bonus, and all stock options held by these individuals will fully vest.
Executive officers and directors also participate in the Company's share option program (refer to the Financial Statements-Note 19).
Compensation for KMP (including all members of the Board of Directors and executive officers) is as follows:

Non-GAAP Performance Measures
This MD&A includes certain non-GAAP performance measures that do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards. These measures may differ from those used by, and may not be comparable to such measures as reported by, other issuers. The Company believes that these measures are commonly used by certain investors, in conjunction with conventional IFRS Accounting Standards measures, to enhance their understanding of the Company's performance. These measures have been derived from the Company's financial statements and applied on a consistent basis. The following tables below provide a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measures.
Total operating cost and site operating cost, net of by-product credit
Total operating cost includes all costs absorbed into inventory, as well as transportation costs and insurance recoverable. Site operating cost is calculated by removing net changes in inventory, depletion and amortization, insurance recoverable, and transportation costs from cost of sales. Site operating cost, net of by-product credit is calculated by subtracting by-product credits from site operating cost. Site operating cost, net of by-product credit per pound is calculated by dividing the aggregate of the applicable costs by pounds of copper produced. Total operating cost per pound is the sum of site operating costs, net of by-product credits and off-property costs divided by pounds of copper produced. By-product credit is calculated based on actual sales of molybdenum (net of treating costs) and silver during the period divided by the total pounds of copper produced during the period. These measures are calculated on a consistent basis for the periods presented.

Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted EPS
Adjusted net income (loss) removes the effect of the following transactions from net income (loss) as reported under IFRS Accounting Standards:
• Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses;
• Unrealized derivative gains and losses;
• Other operating costs;
• Call premium on settlement of debt;
• Loss on settlement of debt, net of capitalized interest;
• Bargain purchase gains on Cariboo acquisition;
• Gain on acquisition of control of Gibraltar;
• Realized gain on sale of finished goods inventory;
• Inventory write-ups to fair value that was sold or processed;
• Accretion on Florence royalty obligations;
• Accretion on Cariboo consideration payable;
• Tax effect of sale of non-recurring interest; and
• Non-recurring other expenses for Cariboo adjustment.
Management believes these transactions do not reflect the underlying operating performance of the Company's core mining business and are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. Furthermore, unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments, changes in the fair value of financial instruments, and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses are not necessarily reflective of the underlying operating results for the periods presented.
| TASEKO MINES LIMITED Management's Discussion and Analysis |
Adjusted earnings per share ("Adjusted EPS") is Adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company's performance and ability to service debt. Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the industry, many of which present adjusted EBITDA when reporting their results. Issuers of "high yield" securities also present adjusted EBITDA because investors, analysts and rating agencies considering it useful in measuring the ability of those issuers to meet debt service obligations.
Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and also eliminates the impact of a number of transactions that are not considered indicative of ongoing operating performance. Certain items of expense are added back and certain items of income are deducted from net income that are not likely to recur or are not indicative of the Company's underlying operating results for the reporting periods presented or for future operating performance and consist of:
• Unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses;
• Unrealized derivative gains and losses;
• Amortization of share-based compensation expense;
• Other operating costs;
• Call premium on settlement of debt;
• Loss on settlement of debt;
• Bargain purchase gains on Cariboo acquisition;
• Gain on acquisition of control of Gibraltar;
• Realized gains on sale of finished goods inventory;
• Inventory write-ups to net realizable value that was sold or processed; and
• Non-recurring other expenses for Cariboo acquisition.
