## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**TASEKO MINES receives Commitment for ADDITIONAL FINANCING FOR FLORENCE COPPER**

**January 13, 2023, Vancouver, BC –** Taseko Mines Limited (TSX: TKO; NYSE American: TGB; LSE: TKO) ("Taseko" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has obtained an underwritten commitment for US$25 million from Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC. Proceeds from this financing will be available to Taseko to fund costs associated with the Solvent Extraction and Electrowinning ("SX/EW") plant for the Florence Copper commercial production facility.

"Following the recently announced strategic partnership with Mitsui & Co. (U.S.A.) Inc. for our Florence Copper project, this additional source of funds will further strengthen our balance sheet and provide financing flexibility as we prepare for construction of the project in 2023. We have a long-standing relationship with Bank of America, a North American leader in equipment financing for mines and projects directly supporting low-carbon initiatives in the United States," stated Stuart McDonald, President and CEO of Taseko.

"In addition to Florence Copper's strong economics, the project has many environmental attributes, including low carbon emissions and a low footprint operation, which are attractive to financial partners. The financing commitment from Bank of America is a customized solution developed for Taseko, leveraging the equipment security of our SX/EW plant, since conventional mining equipment like shovels and haul trucks will not be used at Florence Copper," added Mr. McDonald.

**Financing Details**

The US$25 million of funding will be available for drawdown upon Florence Copper receiving the final Underground Injection Control permit from the EPA. The loan will be secured by specific treatment and processing equipment in the SX/EW plant with an initial term of five years. The facility can be repaid at any time and carries no financial covenants.

Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company's actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These included but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· uncertainties about the future market price of copper and the other metals
that we produce or may seek to produce;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· changes in general economic conditions, the financial markets, inflation
and interest rates and in the demand and market price for our input costs, such as diesel fuel, reagents, steel, concrete, electricity
and other forms of energy, mining equipment, and fluctuations in exchange rates, particularly with respect to the value of the U.S. dollar
and Canadian dollar, and the continued availability of capital and financing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· uncertainties resulting from the war in Ukraine, and the accompanying international
response including economic sanctions levied against Russia, which has disrupted the global economy, created increased volatility in commodity
markets (including oil and gas prices), and disrupted international trade and financial markets, all of which have an ongoing and uncertain
effect on global economics, supply chains, availability of materials and equipment and execution timelines for project development;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· uncertainties about the continuing impact of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19")
and the response of local, provincial, state, federal and international governments to the ongoing threat of COVID-19, on our operations
(including our suppliers, customers, supply chains, employees and contractors) and economic conditions generally including rising inflation
levels and in particular with respect to the demand for copper and other metals we produce;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· inherent risks associated with mining operations, including our current mining
operations at Gibraltar, and their potential impact on our ability to achieve our production estimates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· uncertainties as to our ability to control our operating costs, including
inflationary cost pressures at Gibraltar without impacting our planned copper production;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the risk of inadequate insurance or inability to obtain insurance to cover
material mining or operational risks;

(the "Florence Copper Project" or "Florence Copper") that provides estimates of expected or anticipated capital
and operating costs, expenditures and economic returns from this mining project, including the impact of inflation on the estimated costs
related to the construction of the Florence Copper Project and our other development projects;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the risk that the results from our operations of the Florence Copper production
test facility ("PTF") and ongoing engineering work including updated capital and operating costs will negatively impact our
estimates for current projected economics for commercial operations at Florence Copper;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· uncertainties related to the accuracy of our estimates of Mineral Reserves
(as defined below), Mineral Resources (as defined below), production rates and timing of production, future production and future cash
and total costs of production and milling;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the risk that we may not be able to expand or replace reserves as our existing
mineral reserves are mined;

financing and infrastructure necessary for the advancement of our development projects, including with respect to our ability to obtain
any remaining construction financing potentially needed to move forward with commercial operations at Florence Copper;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· our ability to comply with the extensive governmental regulation to which
our business is subject;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· uncertainties related to our ability to obtain necessary title, licenses
and permits for our development projects and project delays due to third party opposition, particularly in respect to Florence Copper
that requires one key regulatory permit from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") in order to advance to commercial
operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· our ability to deploy strategic
capital and award key contracts to assist with protecting the Florence Copper project execution plan, mitigating inflation risk and the
potential impact of supply chain disruptions on our construction schedule and ensuring a smooth transition into construction once the
final permit is received from the EPA;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· uncertainties related to First Nations claims and consultation issues;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· our reliance on rail transportation
and port terminals for shipping our copper concentrate production from Gibraltar;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· changes in, and the effects of, the laws, regulations and government policies
affecting our exploration and development activities and mining operations and mine closure and bonding requirements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· our dependence solely on our 75% interest in Gibraltar (as defined below)
for revenues and operating cashflows;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· our ability to collect payments from customers, extend existing concentrate
off-take agreements or enter into new agreements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· environmental issues and liabilities associated with mining including processing
and stock piling ore;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· labour strikes, work stoppages, or other interruptions to, or difficulties

to which Florence Copper could be subject to;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ![](header.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· our actual costs of reclamation and mine closure may exceed our current estimates
of these liabilities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· our ability to meet the financial reclamation security requirements for the
Gibraltar mine and Florence Project;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the capital intensive nature of our business both to sustain current mining
operations and to develop any new projects, including Florence Copper;
