Taseko Mines Limited (TGB) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Penetration

Taseko Mines Limited's Market Penetration strategy centers on extracting maximum value from the existing Gibraltar mine within the current North American market structure. This involves aggressive operational targets for production and cost control.

The primary production goal for Taseko Mines Limited's Gibraltar mine for the full year 2025 is targeting guidance between 100 to 105 million pounds of copper, as revised in October 2025. This follows quarterly production figures of 20 million pounds in Q1 2025 and 19.8 million pounds in Q2 2025, with Q3 2025 reaching 27.6 million pounds.

Efficiency gains are critical to improving profitability on existing output. The Total operating costs (C1) at Gibraltar for the second quarter of 2025 reached US$3.14 per pound of copper produced. This is a focus area, as the first quarter 2025 C1 cost was US$2.26 per pound.

Securing near-term revenue involves utilizing the hedging program. As of the latest update in November 2025, Taseko Mines Limited has copper collar contracts in place that secure a minimum copper price of US$4.00 per pound for 27 million pounds of copper production for the remainder of 2025.

To support the production targets, mill throughput must increase beyond recent performance. The Q4 2024 average mill throughput was 89,600 tons per day, which was the highest ever achieved for a quarter at Gibraltar. However, throughput in Q2 2025 was 84,200 tons per day, indicating room for recovery toward the Q4 2024 benchmark.

Sales efforts are focused on existing channels, which are proving highly favorable. Taseko Mines Limited achieved negative TCs (treatment charges) in both 2024 and 2025, with negative bids received out to 2026, signaling a strong concentrate market. Furthermore, the favorable 2025 offtake agreements result in average Treatment and Refining Charges (TCRC) of $nil for the year.

Here are the key operational metrics for Gibraltar:

Metric	Period	Value	Unit
Target Copper Output (Guidance)	2025 (Latest)	100 to 105	Million Pounds
C1 Operating Cost	Q2 2025	3.14	US$ per Pound
Mill Throughput Average	Q4 2024	89,600	Tons per Day
Mill Throughput Average	Q2 2025	84,200	Tons per Day
Copper Collar Contracts Secured Price	Remainder of 2025	4.00	US$ per Pound (Minimum)
Copper Collar Contracts Secured Volume	Remainder of 2025	27	Million Pounds
Average TCRC on Offtake Agreements	2025	$nil	Per Pound

The focus on maximizing throughput and controlling costs directly impacts the realized price through favorable sales terms. You're driving output from an asset where the concentrate sales structure is currently yielding unprecedented commercial terms.

• Achieved negative TCs in 2025.
• Negative treatment charge bids received out to 2026.

Taseko Mines Limited (TGB) - Ansoff Matrix: Product Development

You're looking at how Taseko Mines Limited (TGB) plans to grow by developing new or improved products from its existing and future assets. This is about getting more out of what Taseko already has and what it's building right now.

For the Gibraltar SX/EW plant refurbishment, the focus is on getting that steady stream of refined copper cathode flowing. In the third quarter of 2025, Gibraltar produced 895 thousand pounds of copper cathode, which is just under one million pounds for that period. The full-year 2025 copper production guidance for Gibraltar is set between 100 to 105 million pounds. Also, keep an eye on the Florence Copper project in Arizona; its SX/EW plant construction saw substantial completion in September 2025, with first copper cathode expected early in 2026.

The big step for future production involves pushing the Yellowhead project through its Environmental Assessment (EA) process, which officially started in July 2025. This project is the key to unlocking significant new output. Here's the quick math on what the 2025 Technical Report projects for the first five years of operation:

Metric	Value
Average Annual Copper Production (First Five Years)	206 million pounds
Total Cash Costs (C1) (First Five Years)	US$1.62/lb
Life of Mine (Years)	25 years
Initial Capital Costs	C$2.0 billion

Also, Taseko Mines Limited is working to monetize the by-products from Yellowhead. The plan is to produce a clean copper concentrate, but that comes with valuable extras. The economic valuation in the July 2025 report used specific metal prices to calculate the returns, which helps frame the monetization strategy.

• Projected total life of mine gold production: 282,000 ounces.
• Projected total life of mine silver production: 19.4 million ounces.
• Gold price assumption for valuation: US$2,400/oz.
• Silver price assumption for valuation: US$28.00/oz.

You're also seeing investment in metallurgical research at Gibraltar to boost efficiency. The recovery rates are definitely improving as they work through the ore body. The average copper recovery for the third quarter of 2025 was reported at 77%. Still, the operational data shows they made progress within that quarter, with September achieving a 83% recovery rate. This focus on recovery directly impacts the C1 cost, which for Q3 2025 at Gibraltar was US$2.87 per pound. Finance: draft 13-week cash view by Friday.

Taseko Mines Limited (TGB) - Ansoff Matrix: Diversification

You're looking at how Taseko Mines Limited is moving beyond its established copper business at Gibraltar, which is a classic move to spread risk and open new revenue streams. This diversification centers on two major, distinct projects: Florence Copper in the US and the Aley Niobium Project in Canada.

Florence Copper: New Product Form and US Production Base

The Florence Copper project in Arizona is set to deliver a new product, copper cathode, which is a refined output, different from the concentrate Taseko Mines Limited currently sells from Gibraltar. You should note the timing here; first copper cathode production is targeted for late 2025 or early 2026, marking a significant shift. As of September 30, 2025, US$266.6 million had been incurred on the construction phase. The general contractor for the SX/EW plant area achieved substantial completion in September 2025, and wellfield operations commenced in mid-October, with first solutions being injected in early November 2025. Construction activities are winding down, with spending expected to decline in the third quarter of 2025 as the focus shifts to commissioning. This transition makes Taseko Mines Limited a US-based producer, which is a key strategic advantage given potential US copper import tariffs.

Here's a quick look at the project's scale and the current operational baseline at Gibraltar for context:

Metric	Florence Copper (Target/Status)	Gibraltar (Q3 2025 Actual)
Product Form	Copper Cathode	Copper Concentrate (Primary)
Annual Capacity (Design)	85 million pounds	Production Guidance for 2025: 110 to 120 million pounds
Construction Spend Incurred (as of 9/30/2025)	US$266.6 million	Total operating (C1) cost: US$2.87 per pound
First Production Target	Late 2025 / Early 2026	N/A (Operating Asset)

The move to cathode production is a step up the value chain. While the prompt mentioned securing initial off-take agreements, the latest reports focus on operational readiness and commissioning, with the general contractor for the SX/EW plant area achieving substantial completion in September 2025.

Aley Niobium Project: A Completely New Commodity

The Aley Niobium project represents a true diversification into a completely new commodity and market for Taseko Mines Limited. This project is one of the largest undeveloped niobium deposits globally. If developed, it has a projected annual production capacity of 9 million kilograms of Niobium, which would represent about 8% of the 2022 global output. This scale would position Taseko Mines Limited as the second-largest Niobium producer in the world. Systematically advancing this project means moving it through regulatory hurdles; as of December 2025, the project description was submitted, and Taseko Mines Limited entered the Environmental Assessment Review with the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Office (BCEAO).

The Aley Project is a long-term play, but it introduces Taseko Mines Limited to the critical minerals space, which is important for green technology.

• Niobium production capacity: 9 million kilograms annually.
• Projected global market share: About 8% of 2022 output.
• Projected ranking: Second-largest Niobium producer globally.
• Current Stage: Entered Environmental Assessment Review in December 2025.

De-risking Reliance on Gibraltar Mine

Bringing Florence Copper online directly addresses the company's reliance on the Gibraltar mine. Gibraltar's 2024 copper production was 106 million pounds, and the 2025 guidance was 110 to 120 million pounds. The Florence Copper facility is designed for 85 million pounds of annual capacity. Once fully ramped up, Florence Copper's output, even using the lower figure of 80 million pounds mentioned in your outline as a target, would represent a substantial portion of the current operational base. For instance, if Florence hits its design capacity of 85 million pounds, that would be about 71% of the 2024 Gibraltar production level, significantly balancing the revenue base away from a single asset. Furthermore, the resolution of the New Prosperity dispute in June 2025, where Taseko Mines Limited received $75 million from the Province of BC, also provides financial certainty while advancing these diversification efforts.

You should track the ramp-up closely; Q3 2025 Gibraltar production was 27.6 million pounds of copper, and Florence Copper is expected to produce its first cathode early in 2026, which will start the de-risking process in earnest.

Finance: draft the pro-forma combined copper production estimate for 2027 by Friday.
