All information contained in this presentation, other than statements of current and historical fact, is forward-looking information. Often, but not always, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of words such as "believes," "may," "plan," "will," "estimate," "scheduled," "continue," "anticipates," "intends," "expects," "aim" and similar expressions. All of the forward-looking information in this presentation is qualified by this cautionary note.

This presentation also contains estimates and information concerning our industry that are based on industry publications and reports. This information involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to these estimates. We have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of the data contained in these industry publications and reports.

All statements in this presentation, other than statements of historical facts, that address estimated mineral resource and reserve quantities, grades and contained metal, and possible future mining, exploration and development activities, are forward-looking statements. Although Taseko believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements should not be in any way construed as guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include market prices for metals, the conclusions of detailed feasibility and technical analyses, lower than expected grades and quantities of resources, mining rates and recovery rates and the lack of availability of necessary capital, which may not be available to Taseko on terms acceptable to it or at all. Taseko is subject to the specific risks inherent in the mining business as well as general economic and business conditions.

This presentation contains unaudited "non-IFRS" financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and net debt. The non-IFRS financial measures contained in this presentation are not measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with international financial reporting standards ("IFRS") and should not be considered as replacements or alternatives to net income or loss, cash flow from operations or other measures of operating performance or liquidity. Please refer to the Appendix of this presentation for reconciliations of non-IFRS financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as substitute for, analysis of Taseko's results reported in accordance with IFRS or otherwise. Notwithstanding these limitations, and in conjunction with other accounting and financial information available, Taseko's management considers the non-IFRS financial measurers contained in this presentation to be reasonable indicators for comparisons between Taseko and Taseko's principal competitors in the market. These non-IFRS measures are used by market participants for comparative analysis, albeit with certain limitations, of the results of businesses in the sector and as indicators of Taseko's capacity to generate cash flow. Nevertheless, non-IFRS financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and net debt are non-IFRS performance measures and are presented as supplementals measure of the Company's performance and ability to service debt. Adjusted EBITDA does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is determined and presented on a consistent basis from period to period.

Primary Demand

~3.3 Mt Deficit (2030)

  • Wood Mackenzie forecasts a potential supply deficit of ~3.3 Mt Cu by 2030

  • Favourable supply-demand dynamics driven by:

    • Global migration towards electrification

    • Maturing global supply base, with declining grade profile

    • Long project development lead times

      2030

      2035

    • Ongoing supply disruptions and social unrest, particularly in Latin America

  • Continued strong copper price performance, with an average daily copper price of US$4.02/lb over the past three years
