Purpose of the meeting was to: Penny Foster Provide Esketemc with an update on the Company’s activities related to the environmental review of the Prosperity Debra Lamash Project. Columbia Pacific Consulting Questions arose from the presentation. Participants discussed Taseko’s need to complete archaeological studies of the areas affected by the projects’ footprint, and discuss Esketemc’s traditional use of the area affected by the project. Councilors  Has Taseko already chosen a power line option? Andy Chelsea &  Why did the government request Options 4 and 5? Phillip Robbin Beth Bedard  Doesn’t Fish Lake contain a unique species of rainbow trout? Research Co-  How will the fish be monitored during operations? What would a monitoring plan entail? ordinator  Where do the fish in Fish Lake spawn?

 Will development of the mine lead to the deeding of land around Fish Lake? Pat Chelsea  Why does Taseko Mines say that the existing experience at Fish Lake is medium? Has there been any polling done of local users? Don’t users rank the experience as high?  What criteria did you use to rank the experience as medium?  If you have fish suited to a particular habitat that grow to a certain size, even if it is smaller than normal, what is wrong with that?  How will you use Big Onion as a compensation lake? How do the fish be moved? Will the lakes be joined together?  How big will the pit be?  Has acid rock drainage been considered?  How large is the tailings area? Will there be seepage from the tailings storage sites to local rivers such at the Chilko?  Will there be employment and economic opportunities for the Esketemc? Blackdome Mine has recently hired a number of contractors from outside the area and jobs are not available to the local labour force. Will Taseko operate in this manner as well?  Has the routing for the transmission line been selected? DATE FN CONTACT NATURE OF DETAILS (CONCERN, OPINION, TOPIC OF DISCUSSION) CONTACT

 Why were First Nations not consulted on the route selection and do we consider this meeting as consultation?  What will there be along the right-of-way other than the transmission line? Will there be a road for maintenance?  Does the community have concerns with Route 6?  Has Esketemc completed their archaeology and traditional use studies? (TSK)  Why was Route 9 not selected? Was cost a factor against choosing Route 9 and is it the only factor in choosing Option 6?  Has the Esketemc done archaeology and traditional use studies on the power line corridor? (TSK)  Who will do the archaeology work?  Why has Arcas been hired? Why weren’t the Esketemc consulted? Esketemc should be considered as an archaeological consultant. Beth Bedard is an archaeologist who has had permits in the past  How will the Esketemc be informed about the requirement for archaeology and traditional use studies?  How far does the Esketemc interests along the transmission line extend? (TSK)  How did the Esketemc use the land on a seasonal basis? (TSK)  Will the Esketemc be able to access power from the line going to the mine? Will the line be a private line?  Would Taseko consider trading power for the right to use the right-of-way? The Esketemc anticipate that they will have a demand for 3-phase power for a proposed sawmill development on I.R, #9. Also, Alkali Lake Ranch would like to access to 3-phase power.  How much wider would the right of way have to be to accommodate a distribution line?  What other archaeology or traditional use work has been done in the area? (TSK)  Could a distribution line be run from the substation at Dog Creek or the new Taseko sub-station?  Are migration corridors identified on the wildlife capability map?  Can Esketemc get copies of the mapping that has been done along the transmission corridor? Esketemc would like 1:20,000 maps. (They could be provided in digitised format)

99-Apr-15 Dennis Deans – Meeting Meeting between Esketemc and Taseko to discuss issues with the transmission corridor Manager, Aboriginal Affairs  Esketemc does not agree with Taseko’s selection of Arcas Archaeological Consultants to conduct an Archaeological Penny Foster – Overview Assessment (AOA) and develop a plan for carrying out an Archaeological Impact Assessment (AIA) of the Williams Lake transmission line. The community is asking that they be given the contract to conduct the studies. Representative  Unfulfilled promises by other companies regarding jobs for Esketemc people are an impediment to establishing a

meaningful working relationship with Taseko. Chief William Chelsea  Esketemc are only being asked to participate in discussion about the Transmission Line after all the decisions have Margaret Samson – been made, especially with regard to its location. Councilors  Esketemc is concerned that they have not been involved in discussions about the transmission line. They fear that it Lucy Dick is going to be approved for development without any discussion about effects or benefits related to the community’s Phillip Robbins interests. Councilor  It is the responsibility of the governments to ensure that consultation with First Nation communities occurs. Why is Willy Johnson – Taseko so intent on meeting with and discussing the Prosperity Project with Esketemc? Councilor  Concern was raised that the project site and transmission line corridor might not be left in a condition that is Pat Chelsea – appropriate for the needs of the community after mining has been completed. It is difficult to visualise the mine at Associate closure without photographs showing reclaimed mining projects. Administrator Joy Johnson Treaty Office Beth Bedard Treaty Office Kiki7 - Observer

Canoe Creek

98-Dec-10 Andrew Boston, Meeting Questions, Issues and Concerns Scott Cousins  We want to discuss employment opportunities. Canoe Creek  Is fish habitat compensation done after mine life?  Was Big Onion Lake stocked before we started the project?  Is it possible to make Big Onion Lake sustainable?  Taseko’s summary chart of the preliminary assessment of MAE findings contains both positive and negative statements (e.g.: option 5 only shows up once in the summary while option three is mentioned several times).  Andrew and Scott recently had a tour of Black Dome. Their disappointment in that operation was that the jobs promised did not happen. There were no training activities made available to prepare the First Nation people for the jobs.  They indicated that information gathered by Taseko about the Stswecem’c/Xgat’tem must be submitted to government with a disclaimer to ensure that their treaty negotiations are not compromised.  Esketemc and Stswecem’c/Xgat’tem will have to resolve their overlaps in order to bring focus to the powerline studies.  They mentioned several times the need have discussions with Taseko about archaeology and traditional use studies. They currently have stopped work on their traditional use study because of shortage of funds. They have completed 80 interviews to-date.  Will we be providing housing for workers?  What other revenue, besides income tax, does the government get? Is there a mining tax similar to the stumpage tax?  What is the ratio of government profit compared to company profit?  Risk assessment is difficult to assess. How do you compare environment and operations?  Are we going to be putting “bio-geo-climatic” zones on the power line maps?  How and where does the power line cross the river? The river crossing is an important traditional use and DATE FN CONTACT NATURE OF DETAILS (CONCERN, OPINION, TOPIC OF DISCUSSION) CONTACT archaeological area for the Stswecem’c/Xgat’tem.  Canoe Creek people built Bingham Lake in the 1920’s.  They expressed concern with how well the information would be restricted.  The band has concern with the potential for an increase in access to the wilderness as a result of the power line.  Black-dome has only hired a few local people because they needed skilled labour. The band would be looking to us to provide training. Would we consider co-op training.  What kind of time frame are we looking at for traditional use and archaeology studies?  The Canoe Creek Band Office does not have either the software to handle digital map information.

99-Jan-25 Chief Larry Camille Letter Dennis Deans – Summarized discussion points from meeting on Dec 10th, 1998, expanded on responses. Offered to meet with Chief, Councilors or Band as a whole and make technical consultants available.

99-Jan-26 Doris Demers Telephone Penny Foster - Doris will have Andrew Boston call back.

99-Feb-05 Andrew Boston Meeting Dennis Deans and Penny Foster met with Andrew and Harold to present the mining info books. Andrew suggested that we contact Scott Cousins to discuss the archaeological studies and to give him a copy of the power line map.

99-May-03 Dennis Deans Telephone Phone call from Chief Larry Camille of the Stswecem’c/Xgat’tem. The purpose of his call was to tell me that they were no longer interested in working with Taseko mines on the review of the project, the planning of the Archaeological Impact Chief Larry Camille Assessment Study or the implementation of that study. This was a reversal of a statement he made to Debra Lamash (Columbia Pacific) at a meeting she had with him on April 14, 1999 when he stated that two of the Band’s staff would be made available to work on the plan and participate in the studies.

The reason he gave for this change of heart was a conversation he had with someone from the Esketemc First Nation (Alkali Lake Band). This person told him that Taseko, or one of our consultants (Debra met with Esketemc on April 15 right before Penny and I met with them), stated that Canoe Creek had given the project their blessing. This suggestion of course was unacceptable to Canoe Creek.

99-May- Dennis Deans Letter In regard to your telephone call of May 3, 2008 and letter of May 11, 1999 we understand that your community is not prepared to work with Taseko to develop the plan for conducting the Archaeological Impact Assessment of the Chief Larry Camille Prosperity Project Transmission Line. Following the appropriate exchange of information and ideas, we would, at some stage, like to achieve your support for the transmission line. Therefore, specific to Canoe Creek, Taseko hopes to do this by:  Giving the Stswecem’c/Xgat’tem the opportunity to understand the project and its potential effects and benefits. DATE FN CONTACT NATURE OF DETAILS (CONCERN, OPINION, TOPIC OF DISCUSSION) CONTACT

 Listening to and understanding Canoe Creek’s issues about the project.  Working with the Stswecem’c/Xgat’tem to gather information regarding their issues.  Working with the Stswecem’c/Xgat’tem to devise mitigation and/or compensation strategies to address their issues.

99-Nov-02 Dennis Deans Letter Letter to clarify that there is no misunderstanding about:  Our continued desire to enter into “without prejudice” discussions about the Prosperity Project and the opportunities it Chief Larry Camille might offer your community and

 Our desire to work with the Canoe Creek community in our studies. After a break down in discussions Dennis explained that Taseko and Canoe’s dialogue goes back to 1992 and would be to both parties benefit to continue to keep Canoe informed with progress with the Prosperity project.

Patterson,  First Nations do not want to be put into the position of having to make a quick decision regarding the mine AXYS & DFO  People will be impacted by the mine – loss of way of life (fishing)  Mine will devastate hunting and fishing in the area  What impact will the mine have on the court case? Fish Lake is in SE corner of case area.  Rights and title court case may be impacted by the mine. 13

 The social impacts of mine need to be studied along with the environmental impacts.  How will First Nation benefit from the mine? Concern only social issues will result – money problems, loss of way of life.  First Nation people need to what the whole picture of the mine looks like – during and after its life span.  First Nation need to be able to visualize the mine before they can consider it.  Suggested the use of fish ladders around one or two irrigation impoundment structures on Minton Creek downstream from Fletcher Lake near Big Creek, INAC has been working with Yunesit’in band on this.  Also, Diversion at Big Creek in need of repair.  People are concerned about Fish Lake.  Funding for habitat and stock management studies is required.  First Nation need compensation for the loss of fish.  Suggested cattle fences along both banks of Nemiah Creek between Konni and Meniah Lakes  Will fencing be installed for wildlife control? Request for 8ft high fence.  Will First Nations receive compensation for spills that occur and river toxins?  Concern regarding agreement between Taseko and DFO will remove need for First Nation support of mine. Signed agreement may be needed between Taseko and First Nation.  First Nations want Taseko’s intent documented in form of signed agreement.  Wants to discuss revenue sharing at some point in time.  Concerned about the impacts: - Biggest impact will be on the people. - If you impact the land you impact the people. - Their way of life depends on the land, especially the fish. - No one has made arrangements with the community, with increased metal price there will be more exploration. Also, communities are seen as caretakers of the land; hunting and fishing could be devastated; nothing can replace the beauty of the country; would need strict by-laws for travel through the country

Review of concepts of fish, fishery and habitat compensation, including the role of the DFO. Ensure all current compensation options are identified and discuss viability of each if possible. Plan any next steps required for new potential options.

McManus Lake Mine Options  Disappointed Taseko is not prepared to provide an assurance that the project will not proceed without the S. Jones support of the TNG.  From our perspective it is not appropriate at this stage to discuss how TNG might participate in the project. We do not want to engage in any substantive discussions on this topic until we are largely through the EA process and have a much better understanding of the environmental risks of the project.  Mine options – we agree that the next step is for the company to present its position to the TNG regarding its preferred mine option or to “paint the picture” as you term it. We are glad you have committed to “including TNG in the evaluation of the options”.

It is not clear from your letter whether you are agreeing to re-do the multiple accounts evaluation (MAE) with us as participants, or to simply provide a rationale for the 1998/99 evaluation which led to the present option. We will almost certainly request that the MAE is properly redone as part of the EA process because:

DATE TASEKO FIRST NATIONS NATURE OF KEY TOPICS DETAILS (CONCERN, OPINION, TOPIC OF DISCUSSION) CONTACT CONTACT CONTACT

 TNG needs to participate in the evaluation of options.  The economics of the deposit have changed drastically since 1998/99 (we are not persuaded that current metal prices do not change the outcome).  More environmental and archaeological baseline information is available  The original MAE had methodological problems that were the subject of some controversy among the review team members at the time. We are willing to meet with you to hear the rationalization for the 1998/99 MAE results, you should expect that we will be pushing hard for the process to be redone. We will meet on Nov 17/06. In advance we would like 3 copies of all the relevant documents pertaining to the original MAE including the final MAE report. The Stewardship Council will provide you with a budget for the next 2 months while we complete steps set out in Stage 1.

Available Data – MAE process was one of committee – limited formal documentation. S. Jones to put together for Tony documentation that exists on methodology, alternatives selection/criteria and committee minutes. Tony’s purpose is to understand methodology, alternatives selection and controversy around methodology so as to improve on process. Scope Control – Agreed there is no sense in evaluating options that are non-economic. First Nations Values as New Key Accounts – this will depend whether there is another technically/economically feasible option. If no other technical and economic feasible alternative, it will be critical that TNG fully understand existing MAE. Scott explained that existing work will be compiled into a full volume of the EIA and that process would provide the perfect opportunity to ensure TNG understanding. Community Meetings – Purpose – To visit and present to each one of the 6 TNG communities involved, including ?Esdilagh, an overview of the Prosperity Project – to show people “the pictures of possibilities”. Community Meetings – Issues – Transmission Line, Taseko River, Water Quality, Traditional Use, Mine Closure, Title Case Area. Community Impact Assessment and Traditional Land Use Impacts Study – TNG were not impressed with Lions Gate understanding of issue and suggested that they are not the correct people to do key community values.

07-Feb-16 S. Jones, Loretta William, Tony Meeting MAE and Options to The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the MAE and options to save Fish Lake. Tony Pearse also raised the T. Broddy, Pearse, Steve Roberts save Fish Lake topic of consultation and accommodation. Interpretation of Tony’s comments – B. Patterson (Consultant from Watts, a) The TNG is to try and save Fish Lake and the surrounding ecosystem, every effort must be made to preserve Griffis, and McQuat) both. Also stated that the MAE will need to be redone as there was disagreement on some of the rational expressed by DFO and others. b) The TNG Chiefs will not accept the tailing pond being above the lake as there will be disturbance of the lake ecosystem c) Tony Pearse also raised the topic of consultation and accommodation. Interpretation of Tony’s comments – First Nations (and Tony) see the EA as a process in which the proponent gets an environmental certificate (that may have some conditions attached to it) and the First Nations get nothing.Tony (and presumably the TNG) sees a preferred process. While Taseko is working on the EA process, government should be working on a parallel process of consultation and accommodation an in many cases the proponent will be developing an impact benefits agreement with the First Nations d) Opinion is that the TNG would not be supportive of pursuing a revision of the MAE that still doesn’t protect the ecosystem. She will take back to the Chiefs for comment e) Concerns:  TNGs position is that of trying to save the lake and surrounding ecosystems.  MAE will need to be redone as there is disagreements on some of the rational expressed by DFO and others  Panel review – indicated that TNG will want to have a compensation consultation accommodation process in place to move forward.

TNG will hold discussions as to whether they will partake in the MAE review.  Also covered – a couple of mine development scenarios that attempt to “save the lake” but in effect only save the geography of the lake proper, with varying degrees of risk to water quality in the lake.  Taseko posed the question - whether there was any point in pursuing these options further.

07-Feb-27 B. Patterson Loretta William Meeting MAE Analysis Spoke to Loretta about the issues:  Where are the TNG with options 3 & 4? Is option 3 not an option any more or will option 4 be considered if there is provision to safeguard seepage into the lake from the tailing pond by using seepage return or an impermeable dam?  If the Chiefs are not interested in pursuing options 3 & 4 are they interested in being involved in the MAE process? 23

S. Jones to put together for Tony documentation that exists on methodology, alternatives selection/criteria and committee minutes. Tony’s purpose is to understand methodology, alternatives selection and controversy around methodology so as to improve on process. Scope Control – Agreed there is no sense in evaluating options that are non-economic. First Nations Values as New Key Accounts – this will depend whether there is another technically/economically feasible option. If no other technical and economic feasible alternative, it will be critical that TNG fully understand existing MAE. Scott explained that existing work will be compiled into a full volume of the EIA and that process would provide the perfect opportunity to ensure TNG understanding. Community Meetings – Purpose – To visit and present to each one of the 6 TNG communities involved, including ?Esdilagh, an overview of the Prosperity Project – to show people “the pictures of possibilities”. Community Meetings – Issues – Transmission Line, Taseko River, Water Quality, Traditional Use, Mine Closure, Title Case Area.

07-Feb-23 From: S. Jones Chief Roger William Telephone Video Recording Taseko is requesting copies of the video recordings made by TNG in each community meeting. As the purpose of Request TNG making the videos was to accurately record all concerns and questions raised at each meeting, it is very important that Taseko have a record of those concerns. Also it is important that I (Scott) am accurately representing the wishes and intentions of the company.

07-May-10 From;S. Jones Chief Roger William Email Technical Working Would like to take today or tomorrow about the technical working group meetings that the EAO is trying to set up. Group Meetings My concern is the delay in the timing of the first set of meetings. Those meetings should determine whether there is any additional field work required such as water quality, wildlife, vegetation, etc. If those meetings don’t happen before gov’t gets into “summer mode” we may not know if any additional work is required until it is too late to do it. My understanding is that the EAO is complying with the TNG request to delay those meetings pending consultation. It is extremely important that TNG be represented and heard at the working group meetings to ensure their concerns and values are understood and addressed from the beginning. I understand that the TNG may be meeting with EAO and CEAA representatives next week and I’m hopeful that those conversations will set the stage for full participation of the TNG in the EA process.
