Taseko will provide additional information with regard to its Gibraltar electricity costs after Taseko has signed a deferral agreement with BC Hydro.\n\nRussell Hallbauer President and CEO \n\nNo regulatory authority has approved or disapproved of the information contained in this news release.\nSOURCE Taseko Mines Limited\n\n\n\n\n\n\non Taseko, please see the Company's website www.tasekomines.com or contact: Brian Bergot, Vice President, Investor Relations - 778-373-4533 or toll free 1-877-441-4533Copyright CNW Group 2016","length":2842,"tagName":"div"}]
