NEWS RELEASE
Lundin Mining Announces 2024 Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimates
Vancouver, February 12, 2025 (TSX: LUN; Nasdaq Stockholm: LUMI) Lundin Mining Corporation (“Lundin
Mining” or the “Company”) today reported its Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates effective as of
December 31, 2024 (or as otherwise specified herein). On a 100% consolidated basis, the estimated Proven and
Probable Mineral Reserve of contained copper is 10,872 kilotonnes (“kt”) an increase of 242 kt over the previous
year. Lundin Mining also has significant Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves in other base and precious metals
including 2,429 kt of zinc, 42 kt of nickel, 14.3 million ounces (“Moz”) of gold, and 282.0 Moz of silver.
Net revisions (increases/decreases) are primarily the result of exploration additions at Candelaria offset by cost
input updates at Caserones. The Company announced the proposed divestiture of Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan
on December 9, 2024, to Boliden. Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves for those assets have been included
in the Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource statement and will be removed once the transaction is completed.
Jack Lundin, President and CEO, commented “Throughout the year, we successfully offset mine depletion and
replaced reserves associated with the pending sale of our European assets , driven by a combination of the Filo
acquisition and continued success from conversion drilling.
“The closing of the Filo acquisition in January, in partnership with BHP, add s over 360 million tonnes of oxide
Mineral Resources to the Vicuña portfolio, which also includes over one billion tonnes of resources at Josemaria.
Vicuña is on track for a highly anticipated maiden sulphide Mineral Resource at Filo del Sol in the second quarter
of this year, alongside an updated Mineral Resource estimate for Josemaria.
“At Candelaria, additional drilling at La Española largely offset depletion , and conversion of inferred Mineral
Resources grew the measured and indicated Mineral Resource categories.
“Drilling at Caserones last year was encouraging and this year the exploration program will be the largest y et
since mine operations began. The focus at Caserones will be deeper in -pit drilling to better define higher grade
breccia zones and exploration drilling to test the sulphide mineral potential beneath the Angelica oxide deposit.”
Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Highlights
• Candelaria (Chile): Mineral Reserve reductions at Candelaria were primarily driven by depletion from
production and new geotechnical constraints for underground mining. These decreases were partially
offset by the addition of Mineral Reserves at La Española and Santos. A total of 16,070 metres were
1 The acquisition of Filo Corp. and the formation of the joint arrangement with BHP was completed on January 15, 2025. See press release “Lundin Mining Completes
Joint Acquisition of Filo with BHP and 50% Sale of Josemaria to Form Vicuña Corp.”

• Caserones (Chile): Caserones Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources slightly decreased year over year
from depletion and updated cost inputs. These decreases were partially offset by higher metal price
forecasts. Exploration activities last year included 14,209 metres of diamond drilling, and airborne and
ground based geophysics.
• Chapada (Brazil): Mineral Reserve changes were mainly the result of mine depletion and increased
operating cost assumptions. Total exploration drilling at Chapada for 202 4 was 16,329 metres that
targeted high-grade corridors, mainly at Corpo Sul and Jatobá . The Mineral Resources at Saúva remain
unchanged from 2023 with the exception of updated underground geotechnical standards which
impacted the underground inferred material . Drilling at Saúva mainly focused on extending the
mineralization downdip. It is anticipated that an updated Mineral Resource estimate as Saúva will be
completed next year.
The Suruca gold deposit was removed from the Mineral Reserve inventory at Chapada, as it is a primary
gold deposit and not contemplated in the current life of mine (“LOM”) plan. Suruca will continue to be
classified as Mineral Resources.
• Filo del Sol (Argentina): The Company completed the acquisition of Filo Corp. on January 15, 2025, and
formed a joint arrangement with BHP where each company hold s a 50% interest in Filo del Sol and
Josemaria. Updated study work is underway at Filo del Sol and will focus on drilling, mineral resource
estimation, mine planning, metallurgy, hydrology wells and studies, and the commencement of access
road construction. In parallel, engineering studies and trade off analysis will be completed in preparation
for future permitting and a technical report outlining an integrated Josemaria/Filo del Sol project.
• Eagle (USA): The decrease in Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources at Eagle is primarily due to
depletion and a decrease in metal price assumptions.
• Neves Corvo (Portugal): Mineral Reserves remain in -line with last year’s estimate. Inferred Mineral
Resources grew from a successful exploration program. I n 2024, a total of 7,171 metres of exploration
drilling was completed targeting Lombador North and Neves SW to test extensions near the ore body.
• Zinkgruvan (Sweden): Additions to Mineral Reserves at Zinkgruvan were primarily driven by conversion
of resources at the Burkland zone to Mineral Reserves. In 2024, exploration drilling at Zinkgruvan was
primarily focused on near -mine expansion along known mineralized trends. A total of 55,543 metres
were drilled from underground and surface targeting extensions of known resources.

Chapada
The Chapada Mineral Resource estimates are reported within a conceptual pit shell at an open pit discard NSR
cut-off value of $6.26/t. For Suruca, an NSR cut-off value of $6.80/t was used for oxide (heap leach) and sulphide
portion, and $11.42/t for oxide (carbon-in-leach). Mineral Reserves are estimated using open pit discard NSR cut-
off values of $6.26/t for the Chapada open pit. Suruca gold oxide reserves have been removed for 2024 because
they are no longer included in the LOM plan. The Saúva open pit Mineral Resource estimates are reported within
a conceptual pit shell with NSR cut-off value of $7.12/t. Saúva underground Mineral Resources are reported within
optimized stope volumes with an NSR cut -off value of $34.50/t . Mr. Arthur Oppitz, FAusIMM, Technical Services
Manager, Lundin Mining has reviewed and verified the Mineral Reserves estimates.
Leapfrog Geo software was used to develop geological and mineralization domains to volumetrically constrain
grade estimation. A combination of Maptek’s Vulcan, Snowden Supervisor and various python-based scripts were
used to prepare assay data for geostati stical analysis, construct the block model, estimate copper and gold
grades, and tabulate mineral resources. Copper and gold grades were estimated using ordinary kriging and
inverse distance, conditioned by capped and composited assay grades. The Mineral Reserve estimates are based
on a LOM plan and open pit designs developed using modifying parameters including metal prices, metal
recovery based on performance of the processing plant, operating cost estimates, and sustaining capital cost
estimates based on the production schedule and equipment requirements. The Company is not aware of any
additional mining, metallurgical, infrastructure, permitting, or other factors that could materially affect the
Mineral Resource or Mineral Reserve estimates which are not set out in the current Chapada technical report
dated October 10, 2019 or to be set out in a new technical report for Chapada that will be filed under the
Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca within 45 days of this news release.
Data Verification: Sample preparation and analysis have been conducted by independent accredited laboratories,
including Geolab in Brazil, ALS Chemex in Lima, Peru, and SGS GEOSOL in Vespasiano, Brazil, which operate under
ISO standards. Analytical quality control programs h ave been robust, involving the insertion of blanks, certified
reference materials, and duplicate samples. Additional regular checks were performed at an umpire laboratory
to test the reliability and reproducibility of results from the primary laboratory. Data verification processes have
involved both internal and external reviews and there were no limitations placed on such processes. Independent
qualified persons from SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. conducted an independent verification of the exploration
data during their site visit, involving a review of data collection and storage procedures to assess reliability of
exploration data for the purpose of Mineral Resource estimation. Additional data verification information can be
found in the current Chapada technical report dated October 10, 2019, and will be updated in a new technical
report for Chapada that will be filed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca within 45 days
of this news release.
Eagle
The Eagle Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates are reported using NSR cut -off values ranging from
$147.5/t to $155.7/t, depending on zone and mining method. The NSR is calculated on a recovered payable basis
considering nickel, copper, cobalt, g old and PGM grades, metallurgical recoveries, prices and realization costs.
Eduardo A. Cortes, Director, Reserves and Mine Planning , Lundin Mining has reviewed and verified the Mineral
Reserves estimates.
Filo del Sol
The Filo del Sol Mineral Resource estimates were estimated in accordance with the CIM Definition Standards for
Mineral Resources and Reserves. Sulphide copper equivalent (CuEq) assumes metallurgical recoveries of 84% for
copper, 70% for gold and 77% for silver based on similar deposits, as no metall urgical testwork has been done
on the sulphide mineralization, and metal prices of $4 .00/lb copper, $1,800/oz gold, $23.00/oz silver. The CuEq
formula is: CuEq=Cu+Ag*0.0077+Au*0.5469. The Mineral Resource was constrained by a n optimised pit shell
using the following parameters: Cu $4 .00/lb, Ag $23 .00/oz, Au $1 ,800/oz, slope of 29° to 45°, a mining cost of
$2.72/t and an average process cost of $9.86/t. 7. Cutoff grades are 0.2 g/t Au for the AuOx material, 0.15% CuEq
for the CuAuOx material and 20 g/t Ag for the Ag material. These three mineralization types have been
amalgamated in the oxide total above. CuAuOx copper equivalent (CuEq) assumes average metallurgical
recoveries of 77% for copper, 72% for gold and 71% for silver base d on preliminary metallurgical testwork, and
metal prices of $4 .00/lb copper, $1 ,800/oz gold, $23 .00/oz silver. The CuEq formula is:
CuEq=Cu+Ag*0.0077+Au*0.6136.
The Mineral Reserves are supported by a mine plan, based on a pit design, guided by a Lerchs -Grossmann (LG)
pit shell. Inputs to that process are metal prices of Cu $3.50/lb, Ag $20 .00/oz, Au $1,600/oz; mining cost average
of $2.72/t; an average processing cost of $9.65/t; general and administration cost of $1.46/t processed; pit slope
angles varying from 29 to 45 degrees, inclusive of geotechnical berms and ramp allowances; process recoveries
were based on rock type. The average recoveries applied were 83% for Cu, 73% for Au and 80% for Ag, which
exclude the adjustments for operational efficiency and copper recovered as precipitate which were included in
the financial evaluation. Dilution and mining loss adjustments were applied at ore/waste contacts using a mixing
zone approach. The volumes of dilution gain and ore loss were equal, resulting in reductions in grades of 1.0%,
1.3% and 1.0% for Cu, Au and Ag, respectively. Ore/waste delineation was based on a net value per tonne (NVPT)
cutoff of $4.5/t considering metal prices, recoveries, royalties, process and G&A costs as per LG shell parameters
stated above, elevated above break -even cutoff to satisfy processing capacity constraints. The life -of-mine
stripping ratio in tonnes is 1.57:1.
