Taseko Mines Limited provided an update on financing and construction progress at its Florence Copper project. To date, site activities have focussed on site preparations, earthworks and civil work for the commercial wellfield. The initial drilling contracts are now being finalized, with drilling of the commercial facility wellfield to commence in February.

Additionally, the Company expects to sign a fixed-price contract with TIC Kiewit as general contractor for construction of the SX/EW plant and associated surface infrastructure. All the major plant components are onsite and the build will begin in the second quarter of this year.
