Lundin Mining to Acquire Josemaria Resources, Meaningfully Increasing Copper

and Gold Growth Profile

Toronto, December 20, 2021 (TSX: LUN; Nasdaq Stockholm: LUMI) Lundin Mining Corporation (“Lundin Mining”

or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has entered into a definitive agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”)

with Josemaria Resources Inc. (“Josemaria Resources”) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of

Josemaria Resources through a plan of arrangement (the “Transaction”) for an implied equity value of approximately

C$625 million (US$485 million).

Lundin Mining will acquire 100% of the Josemaria copper-gold project located in the San Juan Province of Argentina

(the “Josemaria project”, “Josemaria” or the “project”). The world-class Josemaria project is a unique opportunity at

an advanced stage with a clear path to production. With Josemaria, Lundin Mining positions itself as a major copper

producer with a diversified portfolio of high-quality, long-life base metal assets.

Under the terms of the Transaction, Josemaria Resources shareholders may elect to receive in exchange for each

Josemaria Resources common share (a “Josemaria Resources Share”), 0.1487 of a common share of Lundin Mining

(each whole share, a “Lundin Mining S hare”) or C$1.60 cash or any combination thereof issuable to all Josemaria

Resources shareholders (collectively, the “Consideration”). The Consideration will be subject to a total maximum

cash consideration of approximately C$183 million and a total maximu m share consideration of approximately

39.7 million Lundin Mining Shares, equating to 30% of the Transaction Consideration payable in cash and 70% of the

Transaction Consideration payable in Lundin Mining Shares, respectively. The Consideration implies a purchase

price of C$1.60 per Josemaria Resources Share, representing a 29% premium to Josemaria Resources’ 10-day volume

weighted average price on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) for the period ended December 17, 2021. Any cash

payments on Josemaria Resources Shares traded on Nasdaq Stockholm will be paid in Swedish kronor in accordance

with Euroclear Sweden principles.

Lundin Mining and Josemaria Resources will host a joint conference call and webcast at 8:00 am ET, 14:00 CET on

Monday, December 20, 2021 to discuss the Transaction. Call details are outlined at the end of this news release.

Acquisition Highlights and Strategic Rationale

• Aligned with Lundin Mining’s Strategic Goals – Acquisition of the world -class Josemaria project delivers

large-scale copper-gold growth. Delivering on the Company’s stated strategy, Josemaria complements the

existing portfolio of high -quality, long -life base metals mines and adds a strong third pillar to its South

American copper business.

• Materially Increases Lundin Mining Copper Production and Scale – Once in production, Josemaria is

expected to produce on average over 130,000 tonnes of copper, nearly 225,000 oz of gold and 1.0 million oz

of silver annually over a 19-year mine life1. This growth would increase the Company’s copper production by

been derived from or is based on the technical report entitled “NI 43-101 Technical Report, Feasibility Study for the Josemaria Copper-Gold Project, San Juan Province,

Argentina” dated November 5, 2020 (the “Josemaria Technical Report”), prepared by or under the supervision of Andy Thomas, P.Eng. of SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc., Brian

Johnston, P.Eng. of Flour Canada Ltd., Bob McCarthy, P.Eng. of SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc., Cameron Scott, P.Eng. of SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc., Daniel Ruane, P.Eng. of

nearly 50%, and gold production over 140%, compared to guidance for 2022. Josemaria is a top-10 open pit

copper asset in the Americas with an estimated 6.7 billion lb of copper, 7.0 million oz of gold and 30.7 million

oz of silver in Mineral Reserves2.

• Clear Path to Development – Josemaria Resources has been advancing the feasibility-stage project through

environmental approvals with the Province of San Juan and has been negotiating commercial and fiscal terms

with the San Juan and Federal authorities. Josemaria Resources anticipates these will be finalized in 2022 and

has outlined a project timeline of approximately five years to commercial production. The Lundin family has

a 30-year track record of successfully developing mutually beneficial relationships in San Juan and Catamarca

provinces of Argentina.

• Robust Project Economics – The November 2020 J osemaria Technical Report estimates robust after-tax

NPV, IRR and a short payback period using conservative-to-spot metal prices. With cash costs forecast to be

in the 2nd quartile globally, Josemaria is positioned to generate meaningful cash flow throughout the metal

price cycle.

• Removes Project Financing Constraints – Within Lundin Mining , capital financing risks to t he project

timeline and Josemaria Resources shareholders are significantly reduced. The p roject capital and

development timeline offer many funding options under Lundin Mining’s stewardship making advancement

of permitting and construction the primary focus . The Company expects to continue to generate significant

free cash flow at current metal prices, has significant debt capacity supported by the existing portfolio of

assets and can proceed while also advancing organic growth opportunities at existing operations.

• Asset and Geographic Diversification – Josemaria adds meaningful-scale copper-gold production growth

to Lundin Mining’s portfolio , providing further geographic diversification while maintaining a favourable

copper-dominant commodity mix.

• Continued Balance Sheet Strength and Attractive Direct Returns – The Transaction cash consideration

will be financed with existing liquidity, which as at September 30, 2021, included cash and cash equivalents

of nearly US$430 million and approximately US$780 million available for drawdown on the Company’s credit

facility. The Company expects to maintain its direct return of capital to shareholders under its dividend

framework throughout the development of the Josemaria project.

• Upside Exploration Potential – Lundin Mining believes there is significant potential to further increase value

over the long er-term leveraging its copper-focused exploration expertise. Exploration potential in a highly

prospective and emerging district, combined with the large Mineral Resource base, position Josemaria as the

center of gravity for future development and expansion.

Peter Rockandel, President and CEO commented , "The acquisition of the Josemaria project complements Lundin

Mining’s existing portfolio of high -quality mines and highlights our focus on disciplined copper-focused growth to

create long-term shareholder value. Josemaria is a world- class copper-gold project that has many characteristics

which makes it the ideal project, at the right time, for Lundin Mining to advance in the next phase of our growth .

Building on our strengthened technical expertise, leveraging our financial strength, and drawing on Jos emaria

Resources’ in-country knowledge, we believe this opportunity will create meaningful value for all stakeholders. The

addition of Josemaria will elevate Lundin Mining’s position to a major base metals producer with high -quality, low-

cost copper exposure."

Josemaria Copper-Gold Project Overview

Unless otherwise noted, all information (including scientific and technical information) relating to the Josemaria Copper -

Gold Project contained in this news release has been derived from or is based on the Jo semaria Technical Report. Further

details with respect to the Josemaria project are available in the Josemaria Technical Report prepared for Josemaria

Resources and filed under Josemaria Resources’ SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com . See “Mineral Reserve and Mineral

Resource Estimates” of this news release for information on preparation of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resource

estimates as defined by NI 43-101.

Located entirely within the San Juan Province of Argentina, the Josemaria project is expected to produce an average

of 166,000 tonnes of copper, 331,000 oz of gold and 1.2 million oz of silver per year for the first three years. Over a

19-year mine life defined by the current Mineral Reserve estimate, average annual production is forecast to be

131,000 t of copper , 224,000 oz of gold and 1.0 million oz of silver at an average total cash cost of US$1.55/lb of

copper equivalent.

A feasibility study was completed on the project in November 2020, key operational findings of which are presented

in the table at the end of this section . Upon completion of the Transaction, Lundin Mining plans to further review

and undertake additional study work on the project development timeline, capital expenditure estimates, and

economic estimates.

The project has been advancing through environmental approvals, and commercial and fiscal terms with federal

and provincial authorities. The Environment and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) for the project was submitted in

the first quarter of 2021. Josemaria Resources anticipates the ESIA and commercial and fiscal terms to be finalized

in 2022, outlining a project timeline of approximately five years to commercial production.

The Josemaria deposit is classified as a porphyry copper -gold system. The deposit area measures approximately

1,500 m north-south by approximately 1,000 m east -west and 600 to 700 m ve rtically from surface, within a larger

alteration footprint of up to 4 km north-south by 2 km east-west. The deposit remains open to the south, beneath a

thickening cover of post mineral volcanic rocks and also at depth.

The project site has ready access to water, grid power, transportation and logistical infrastructure within San Juan

Province, which are to be further developed within the project scope.

Project Highlights:

• Mining – Josemaria is to be developed as a large-scale open-pit with a low strip ratio of 0.98 over the 19-year

mine life. Electrically powered hydraulic shovels are envisaged in combination with ultra-class 360-tonne haul

trucks.

• Processing – Mineral processing is to consist of a conventional crush, grind and flotation flowsheet producing

a gold-rich copper concentrate. The concentrator is designed to treat sulphide ores at an average capacity of

approximately 152,000 tpd, varying by ore type and characteristics over the life-of-mine.

• Copper Concentrate – Conventional sulphide flotation is to produc e copper concentrate with significant

gold by-product credit. The copper concentrate grade is expected to average approximately 27% copper,

14.2 g/t gold and 71.7 g/t silver over the life of the operation.

• Operating costs – Life-of-mine total cash cost is estimated to average US$1.55/lb of copper equivalent (co-

product basis). Low overall operating costs can be attributed to the low strip ratio and lower cost of power

and labour than many other established mining jurisdictions.

• Mineral Reserves – Mineral Reserves are estimated by Josemaria Resources to be 1,012 Mt at an average

grade of 0. 30% copper, 0.22 g/t gold and 0.94 g/t silver, containing approximately 6.7 billion lb of copper,

7.0 million oz of gold and 30.7 million oz of silver estimated using a copper price of US$3.00/lb, gold price of

US$1,500/oz and silver price of US $18.00/oz silver . The current Mineral Reserves support a 19 -year

operational life at the envisaged processing rate of an average of approximately 152,000 tpd.

Notes:

1. Mineral Reserves have an effective date of September 28, 2020. The Qualified Person for the estimate is Mr. Robert McCarthy, P.Eng.

2. The Mineral Reserves were estimated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), Definition Standards for Mineral

Resources and Reserves, as prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted by CIM Council.

3. The Mineral Reserves were based on a pit design which in turn aligned with an ultimate pit shell selected from a Whittle TM pit optimization

exercise. Key inputs for that process are:

⋅ Metal prices of US$3.00/lb copper, US$1,500/oz gold, US$18.00/oz silver.

⋅ Variable mining cost by bench and material type. Average costs are US $1.351/t, US$1.36/t and US$1.65/t for ore, N on-Acid Generating

waste and Potentially Acid Generating waste, respectively.

⋅ Processing costs vary by metallurgical zone, ranging from US $3.77/t tonalite ore milled to US$3.71/t supergene.

⋅ Infrastructure on and off-site US$0.43/t milled.

⋅ Indirect costs US$0.46/t milled.

⋅ Sustaining capital costs of US$0.54/t milled for tailings and US$0.17/t mined for mining equipment.

⋅ Pit average slope angles varying from 37° to 43°.

⋅ Process recoveries for copper and gold are based on grade. The average recovery is estimated to be 85.2% for copper and 62.6% for gold.

Silver recovery is fixed at 72.0%.

4. Mining dilution is accounted for by averaging grades in adjacent blocks across a thickness of 2.5 m into each block (5.0 m pe r block contact).

5. The Mineral Reserve has an economic cut-off for prime mill feed, based on net smelter return of US$5.22/t, US$5.21/t, US$5.18/t and US$5.16/t

milled for tonalite, rhyolite, porphyry and supergene material respectively and an additional US $0.53/t for stockpiled ore.

6. There are 991 Mt of waste in the ultimate pit. The strip ratio is 0.98 (waste:ore).

7. All figures are rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimate. Totals may not sum due to rounding as required by reporting guidelines.

Notes:

1. Mineral Resources are inclusive of Mineral Reserves.

2. Mineral Resources have an effective date of July 10, 2020. The Qualified Person for the estimate is Mr. James N. Gray, P.Geo.

3. The Mineral Resources were estimated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), Definition Standards for

Mineral Resources and Reserves, as prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted by CIM Council.

4. Sulphide copper equivalency equation (CuEq) assumes metal prices of US $3.00/lb copper, US$1,500/oz gold and US$18/oz silver.

5. CuEq is based on copper, gold and silver recoveries derived from metallurgical test work as applied in the pit optimization and mine design

process (average life-of-mine recoveries used: 85.2% copper, 62.6% gold, 72.0% silver).

6. The copper equivalency equation used is: CuEq (%) = (copper grade (%) x copper recovery x copper price ($/t) + gold grade (oz/t) x gold recovery

x gold price ($/oz) + silver grade (oz/t) x silver recovery x silver price ($/oz)) / (copper price ($/t) x copper recovery)
