Discussion of long-term and

Management of Scope 1 emissions

short-term strategy or plan to

are driven by Gibraltar's 'Energy

manage Scope 1 emissions,

Management Policy,' which integrates

emissions reduction

energy management programs

targets, and an analysis of

and practices across all site-wide

performance against those

operations and projects with the goal

targets

of achieving continuous improvement

in energy efficiency. Through this

focus on continuous improvement in

energy efficiency, Gibraltar also seeks

ongoing improvements in its GHG

intensity per unit of production.

Taseko is advancing the Florence

Copper Project into commercial

production. As an 'in-situ copper

recovery' project, Florence Copper

is expected to be the lowest GHG

and energy intensity primary copper

producer in North America, lowering

Taseko's enterprise-wide GHG intensity

per unit of production.

in the Fraser River. The specifics include:

and regulations

Ì Samples taken at the Fraser River Outfall on

Friday August 18, 2023, had elevated Total

Suspended Solids. Immediate remedial

action included re-analysis of the sample, re-

sampling with rush analysis, and suspension

of the discharge. Investigation revealed that

the sample at the Fraser River Outfall was

not representative of Tailings Storage Facility

Supernatant water. Effluent quality was

reflective of residual water from previous

flushing and pressure testing.

Ì On October 11, 2023 and October 18, 2023

discharge to the Fraser River from the TSF

recorded elevated Total Suspended Solids

concentrations. Immediate remedial action

included re-analysis of the sample, re-sampling

with rush analysis, and suspension of the

discharge to the Fraser River. The cause was

due to elevated TSS near the Tailings Storage

Facility (TSF) barge, as a result of reduced water

volumes within the TSF in combination with the

influence of fall turnover.
