• For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company generated revenue of $937.0 million (Q1 2023 - $751.3
million), including 86,189 tonnes of copper sold at a realized price of $3.98 /lb . The increase from the prior year
comparable period is primarily due to the inclusion of Caserones revenue and somewhat offset by lower sales
volumes at most mines and lower realized copper and zinc prices.
• Gross profit of $185.4 million (2023 - $213.3 million ) and Adjusted EBITDA of $362.9 million (Q1 2023 - $336.9
million) benefited from the inclusion of Caserones, favourable foreign exchange, and operational improvements at
Chapada.
• Net earnings attributable to shareholders of the Company were $13.9 million or $0.02 per share in the three
months ended March 31, 2024 , which were lower than in the prior year comparable period primarily due to non-
cash unrealized losses related to the mark-to-market valuation of unexpired foreign exchange contracts, lower gross
profit, and higher financing costs.
• Adjusted earnings attributable to shareholders of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2024 of
$45.2 million or $0.06 per share were $80.5 million lower than in the prior year comparable period primarily due to
lower net attributable earnings.
• Cash and cash equivalents as at March 31, 2024 were $365.5 million. Cash provided by operating activities
amounted to $267.5 million and cash used to fund investing activities amounted to $269.7 million.
• Free cash flow1 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 of negative $1.7 million was $32.5 million higher than in
the prior year comparable period as a result of reduced spending relating to the Josemaria Project.
• For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized a non -cash unrealized loss of approximately
$53 million on a pre-tax basis related to the mark-to-market valuation of the Company's unexpired foreign exchange
and diesel derivative contracts. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company entered into zero cost
collar contracts in the total amounts of $24 million (equivalent to BRL 121 million) and $950 million (equivalent to
CLP 926 billion) with collar ranges of BRL 5.10 to BRL 6.07 and CLP 900 to CLP 1,085, respectively.
• As at May 1, 2024, the Company had a cash balance of approximately $395.0 million and a net debt excluding lease
liabilities balance of approximately $1,020.0 million.

Candelaria (80% owned): Candelaria produced 32,527 tonnes of copper and approximately 19,000 ounces of gold in
concentrate on a 100% basis in the three months ended March 31, 2024 . Copper and gold production was lower than in
the prior year comparable period, primarily due to lower grades as a result of planned mine sequencing. Production costs
were lower than in the prior year comparable period largely owing to favourable foreign exchange as a result of the
Chilean Peso weakening against the US dollar, and lower sales volumes. Copper cash cost of $1.89/lb improved from the
prior year comparable period due to favourable foreign exchange and higher by -product credits. Copper and gold
production in 2024 are forecast to be weighted to the second half of the year, primarily owing to mine sequencing and the
resultant grade profiles.
Caserones (51% owned): During the three months ended March 31, 2024 , Caserones produced 34,216 tonnes of copper
and 864 tonnes of molybdenum on a 100% basis . Copper and molybdenum production was slightly lower than expected
due to reduced throughput caused by unplanned maintenance, combined with lower recoveries due to mine sequencing.
Production costs and cash costs per pound in the three months ended March 31, 2024 were lower than planned primarily
due to favourable foreign exchange as a result of the Chilean peso weakening against the US dollar.
Chapada (100% owned): Chapada produced 10,138 tonnes of copper and approximately 14,000 ounces of gold in
concentrate in the three months ended March 31, 2024 . Copper and gold production were higher than in the prior year
comparable period primarily due to higher recoveries. Production costs were lower than in the prior year comparable
period primarily due to lower sales volumes and lower mining costs as a result of a planned reduction in waste movement.
Copper cash cost of $2.01/lb for the three months ended March 31, 2024 improved from the prior year comparable period
due to higher by-product credits combined with mining cost decreases due to operational improvements.
Eagle (100% owned): During the three months ended March 31, 2024 , Eagle produced 3,255 tonnes of nickel and 2,514
tonnes of copper which were lower than in the prior year comparable period due to lower planned grades and recoveries.
Production costs were lower than in the prior year comparable period due to lower sales volumes. Nickel cash cost of
$4.04/lb was higher than in the prior year comparable period and was impacted by lower sales volumes and lower by -
product credits.
Neves-Corvo (100% owned): Neves-Corvo produced 7,044 tonnes of copper and 26,487 tonnes of zinc in the three months
ended March 31, 2024. Both copper and zinc production was lower than in the prior year comparable period due to lower
grades and recoveries. Throughput was lower than planned in the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to a voluntary
three-day shutdown and subsequent ramp -up following the fatality that occurred in February 2024. Production costs
during the quarter were lower than in the prior year comparable period due to lower sales volumes and lower unit
production costs. Copper cash cost per pound of $3.24/lb was higher than prior year comparable period as a result of
lower production volumes, lower by-product credits and unfavorable foreign exchange.
Zinkgruvan (100% owned): Zinc production of 19,201 tonnes was lower than in the prior year comparable period primarily
due to lower grades. Lead production of 6,748 tonnes and copper production of 1,574 tonnes were lower than in the prior
year comparable period primarily due to lower grades as a result of delays in mining high -grade stopes. Production costs
were slightly higher than in the prior year comparable period and zinc cash cost per pound of $0.65/lb was higher than in
the prior year comparable period primarily due to lower production volumes.

Outlook
Overall, operations performed well in the first quarter of 2024 and the Company is expected to meet annual production
and cash cost guidance as disclosed in the Company’s MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Metal production continues to be weighted to the second half of the year at Candelaria, Chapada and Neves -Corvo due to
mine sequencing and resultant forecasted grade profiles. As a result of production challenges at Neves -Corvo in the first
quarter of 2024, copper production at that operation is tracking to the lower end of its annual production guidance range.
Production challenges at Neves-Corvo, Eagle and Zinkgruvan in the first quarter of 2024 led to higher -than-expected cash
costs per pound, which are expected to improve later in 2024.
Capital expenditure guidance also remains consistent as disclosed in the Company’s MD&A for the year ended December
31, 2023 including $840 million sustaining capital expenditure and $225 million of expenditure related to the Josemaria
Project. Similarly, exploration expenditure of $48 million remains on target for 2024.
Exploration
During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, exploration activity focused on in-mine and near-mine targets at the Company's
operations. Exploration drilling at Zinkgruvan was focused on resource expansion, Candelaria drilling was focused on
Candelaria Norte, and Chapada drilling concentrated on delineating the high-grade, near-mine trend at Corpo Sul.
At Caserones, exploration remains in the early stages. Geophysical surveys were recently carried out on the land package
and the data collected will help to refine our targets and advance our efforts. Exploration drilling was completed in the
lower portion of the mineral resource and at the Angelica oxide and sulphide targets, both near -mine targets that would
add potential mineral resources and extend the life of the operation.
At Josemaria, seasonal exploration drilling is coming to a close at the Cumbre Verde target near the Josemaria ore body.
Six holes were drilled targeting the same mineralized system and structures that hosted high grade mineralization on the
neighbouring property that run towards Josemaria. Exploration remains in its early stages and initial results highlight
copper/gold/silver mineralization. The data obtained will help further refine and target this mineralization. Work will
continue throughout the remainder of 2024, although it will be minimized during the winter season.
There was no exploration drilling at Neves-Corvo and Eagle in the quarter.

Highlights
For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company generated revenue of $937.0 million (Q1 2023 - $751.3 million), gross
profit of $185.4 million (Q1 2023 - $213.3 million) and adjusted EBITDA1 of $362.9 million (Q1 2023 - $336.9 million).
Financial results benefited from contribution from the Caserones mine, acquired in July 2023.
The operations performed well during the first quarter of 2024 with 88,013 tonnes of copper , 45,688 tonnes of zinc , and
33,000 oz of gold produced. The Company remains on track to achieve annual production guidance.
Operational Performance
Candelaria (80% owned): Candelaria produced 32,527 tonnes of copper and approximately 19,000 ounces of gold in
concentrate on a 100% basis in the quarter. Copper and gold production was lower than in the prior year comparable
quarter, primarily due to lower grades as a result of planned mine sequencing. Current quarter production costs were lower
than in the prior year comparable quarter largely owing to favourable foreign exchange as a result of the Chilean Peso
weakening against the US dollar, and lower sales volumes. Copper cash cost1 of $1.89/lb improved from the prior year
comparable quarter due to favourable foreign exchange and higher by-product credits.
Caserones (51% owned): In the quarter ended March 31, 2024 Caserones produced 34,216 tonnes of copper and 864
tonnes of molybdenum on a 100% basis. Copper and molybdenum production was slightly lower than expected due to
reduced throughput caused by unplanned maintenance, combined with lower recoveries due to mine sequencing .
Production costs and cash costs per pound in the quarter were lower than planned primarily due to favourable foreign
exchange as a result of the Chilean peso weakening against the US dollar.
Chapada (100% owned): Chapada produced 10,138 tonnes of copper and approximately 14,000 ounces of gold in
concentrate in the quarter. Copper and gold production w ere higher than in the prior year comparable quarter primarily
due to higher recoveries. Production costs were lower than in the prior year comparable quarter primarily due to lower
sales volumes and lower mining costs as a result of a planned reduction in waste movement. Copper cash cost of $2.01/lb
for the quarter improved from the prior year comparable quarter due to higher by-product credits combined with mining
cost decreases due to operational improvements.
Eagle (100% owned): During the quarter Eagle produced 3,255 tonnes of nickel and 2,514 tonnes of copper which were
lower than in the prior year comparable quarter due to lower planned grades and recoveries. Production costs were lower
than in the prior year comparable quarter due to lower sales volumes. Nickel cash cost1 in the quarter of $4.04/lb was
higher than in the prior year comparable quarter and was impacted by lower sales volumes and lower by-product credits.
Neves-Corvo (100% owned): Neves-Corvo produced 7,044 tonnes of copper and 26,487 tonnes of zinc in the quarter. Both
copper and zinc production in the quarter was lower than in the prior year comparable quarter due to lower grades and
recoveries. Throughput was lower than planned in the quarter due to a voluntary three-day shutdown and subsequent
ramp-up following the fatality that occurred in February . Production costs during the quarter were lower than in the prior
year comparable quarter due to lower sales volumes and lower unit production costs. Copper cash cost per pound during
the quarter of $3.24/lb was higher than prior year comparable period as a result of lower production volumes, lower by-
product credits and unfavorable foreign exchange.
Zinkgruvan (100% owned): Zinc production of 19,201 tonnes was lower than in the prior year comparable quarter primarily
due to lower grades. Lead production of 6,748 tonnes and copper production of 1,574 tonnes were lower than in the prior
year comparable quarter primarily due to lower grades as a result of delays in mining high-grade stopes. Production costs
were slightly higher than in the prior year comparable quarter and zinc cash cost1 per pound of $0.65/lb during the quarter
was higher than in the prior year comparable quarter primarily due to lower production volumes.

Corporate Updates
• On January 14, 2024, the Company provided its 2024 production and cost guidance and reaffirmed the three year
production outlook.
• On February 8, 2024, the Company reported its Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates as at December 31,
2023 (or as otherwise specified).
• On February 12, 2024, the Company reported an employee fatality at the Neves-Corvo Mine in Portugal. Operations
were voluntarily suspended and restarted on February 15, 2024. The appropriate authorities in Portugal were notified
and the Company is providing its full cooperation in the investigation.
Financial Performance
• Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was $185.4 million which was $28.0 million lower than in the prior
year comparable period. The decrease was primarily due to lower realized copper and zinc prices 1 and excluding gross
profit results from Caserones, the sales volumes were lower.
• For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, net earnings of $58.6 million were lower than in the prior year comparable
period primarily due to non-cash unrealized losses related to the mark-to-market valuation of unexpired foreign
exchange contracts, lower gross profit, and higher financing costs.
• Adjusted earnings 1 for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 of $45.2 million were $80.5 million lower than in the prior
year comparable period primarily due to lower net attributable earnings.
• Cash provided by operating activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 of $267.5 million was $55.7 million higher
than in the prior year comparable period and benefited from the inclusion of operating cash flows from Caserones,
partially offset by reduced cash in the quarter due to working capital changes.
• For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized a non-cash unrealized loss of approximately $53
million on a pre-tax basis related to the mark-to-market valuation of the Company's unexpired foreign exchange and
diesel derivative contracts. During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company entered into zero cost collar
contracts in the total amounts of $24 million (equivalent to BRL 121 million) and $950 million (equivalent to CLP 926
billion) with collar ranges of BRL 5.10 to BRL 6.07 and CLP 900 to CLP 1,085, respectively.
• For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, sustaining capital expenditures1 of $213.3 million were $57.7 million higher
than the prior year comparable period as a result of the inclusion of Caserones sustaining capital, as well as increases at
Chapada in deferred stripping and tailings spend. Expansionary capital expenditures1 of $56.0 million were $34.5
million lower than the prior year comparable period as a result of less spend on the Josemaria Project.

===== SIDA 13 =====
• For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, free cash flow from operations1 of $67.7 million was $3.4 million lower than the
prior year comparable period as a result of higher capital expenditures during the quarter.
Financial Position and Financing
• Cash and cash equivalents as at March 31, 2024 were $365.5 million, an increase during the quarter of $96.7 million.
Cash provided by operating activities amounted to $267.5 million and cash used to fund investing activities amounted
to $269.7 million. Cash provided by financing activities was comprised primarily of proceeds from debt.
• As at March 31, 2024, the Company had a net debt1 balance of $1,241.9 million and a net debt excluding lease
liabilities1 balance of $981.4 million.
• On April 26, 2024, the Company's revolving credit facility, originally expiring in April 2028, was amended and extended
to April 2029. On the same date, the Company's Term Loan (the "Term Loan") was also amended and extended by one
year to July 2027.
• As at May 1, 2024 , the Company had a cash balance of approximately $395.0 million and a net debt excluding lease
liabilities balance of approximately $1,020.0 million.

Outlook
Overall, operations performed well in the first quarter of 2024 and the Company is expected to meet annual production and
cash cost guidance as disclosed in the Company’s MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Metal production continues to be weighted to the second half of the year at Candelaria, Chapada and Neves-Corvo due to
mine sequencing and resultant forecasted grade profiles. As a result of production challenges at Neves-Corvo in the first
quarter of 2024, copper production at that operation is tracking to the lower end of its annual production guidance range.
Production challenges at Neves-Corvo, Eagle and Zinkgruvan in the first quarter of 2024 led to higher-than-expected cash
costs per pound, which are expected to improve later in 2024.
Capital expenditure guidance also remains consistent as disclosed in the Company’s MD&A for the year ended December
31, 2023 including $840 million sustaining capital expenditure and $225 million of expenditure related to the Josemaria
Project. Similarly, exploration expenditure of $48 million remains on target for 2024.

3 Capital expenditures are reported on a cash basis, as presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
On a quarterly basis the Company's revenue, gross profit and net earnings can be impacted by metal prices, sales volumes
as a result of the timing of concentrate shipments, and provisional pricing adjustments on current and prior period
shipments.
The Company's results have also been impacted by the acquisition of the Josemaria Project in April 2022 and the acquisition
of the Caserones mine in July 2023. Project development costs for the Josemaria Project were initially included in general
exploration expenses following the acquisition of the project in April 2022, but began to be capitalized from the fourth
quarter of 2022. This reduced net earnings in Q2 2022 and Q3 2022 and contributed to higher capital expenditure starting
in Q4 2022.
The acquisition of the Caserones mine in July 2023 contributed to an increase in gross profit and cash flow from operations
in Q3 2023 and in subsequent quarters. Additionally, fair value adjustments of $32.2 million and $7.8 million were recorded
in production costs in Q3 2023 and Q4 2023, respectively, to re-value in-process and concentrate inventory on hand at the
acquisition date. The $800 million three-year term loan entered into in conjunction with the acquisition has increased the
Company's interest expense in Q3 2023 through Q1 2024, reducing net earnings.
During 2022, inflationary price increases were experienced for electricity, diesel and consumables. In 2023 and continuing
into Q1 2024, input prices stabilized, and in some cases lowered. These trends impacted gross profit and net earnings in the
quarters presented above.
A non-cash write-down, including depreciation, of long-term ore stockpile inventory at Chapada of $66.8 million was
recognized in Q4 2022, reducing net earnings.
From Q3 2022, the Company has entered into derivative contracts for foreign currency and diesel as part of its risk
management strategy. From Q2 2022, the Company has also realized foreign exchange and trading gains on debt and equity
investments to support capital funding for the Josemaria Project. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivative
contracts and foreign exchange and trading gains on debt and equity investments are recorded in other income and impact
the Company's net earnings.

Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 amounted to $937.0 million which was higher than the prior year
comparable period as a result of the inclusion of Caserones copper and molybdenum revenue partially offset by decreases
in copper and zinc volumes and prices at the other operations, and nickel volumes at Eagle.
Revenue from gold and silver for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 includes the partial recognition of an upfront purchase
price on the sale of precious metals streams for Candelaria, Neves-Corvo, and Zinkgruvan as well as the cash proceeds
which amount to approximately $429/oz for gold and between $4.28/oz and $4.68/oz for silver.
Chapada’s copper revenue includes the recognition of deferred revenue from copper streams acquired with the Chapada
mine, as well as the cash proceeds of 30% of the market price of the copper sold under the streams.
Revenue is recorded using the metal price received for sales that settle during the reporting period. For sales that have not
been settled, an estimate is used based on the expected month of settlement and the forward price of the metal at the end
of the reporting period. The difference between the estimate and the final price received is recognized by adjusting revenue
in the period in which the sale is settled. Settlement dates can range from one to six months after shipment.

Financial Results
Production Costs
Production costs for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 were $567.1 million, an increase from $417.8 million in the prior
year comparable period. Production cost increases were primarily as a result of the acquisition of Caserones, partially offset
by decreased production costs at Candelaria, Neves-Corvo, Eagle and Chapada, each attributed to lower sales volumes.
Additionally, production costs at Candelaria benefited from favourable foreign exchange due to a weakened Chilean Peso.
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization
Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 increased compared to the prior
year comparative period. The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Caserones in addition to increased
amortization of mineral properties at Candelaria due to higher stripping costs capitalized in 2023.

Finance Income and Costs
Net finance costs of $35.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 were higher than $15.7 million in the prior year
comparable period primarily due to higher interest expense related to higher outstanding debt through the quarter,
combined with increased lease liability interest following the acquisition of Caserones.
Other Income and Expense
Net other expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 amounted to $10.3 million and negatively impacted earnings
before tax by $56.5 million compared to the prior year comparable period when the Company recorded net other income of
$46.2 million. The change in other income and expenses is primarily due to $52.8 million of non-cash unrealized losses
related to the mark-to-market valuation of unexpired foreign exchange contracts, particularly for CLP and SEK. Net other
expense in the quarter also included reduced realized gains on expired foreign exchange and diesel derivative contracts and
reduced foreign exchange and trading gains on debt and equity investments supporting capital funding for the Josemaria
Project following the devaluation of the ARS in December 2023.
10
===== SIDA 21 =====
Foreign exchange gains recorded in other income and expense resulted from foreign exchange revaluation of working
capital and leases denominated in foreign currencies, primarily due to the weakening of the CLP against the USD in the
quarter. Foreign exchange gains also included changes in fair value of debt and equity instruments supporting capital
funding for the Josemaria Project . Period end exchange rates having a meaningful impact on foreign exchange recorded at

Production
Copper and gold production in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was lower than in the prior year comparable period
primarily due to lower grades as a result of mine sequencing, partially offset by higher throughput. Work to backfill stopes
from previous underground mining was ongoing in the quarter and will allow access to higher-grade ore in the second half
of 2024. Both metals are on track to meet full year annual production guidance.
Production Costs and Cash Cost
Production costs in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 were lower than in the prior year comparable period, largely as a
result of favourable foreign exchange due to a weaker Chilean peso, lower sales volume and reduced maintenance costs
due to the stabilization of the maintenance cycles in both mines and plants. Cash cost per pound in the quarter ended
March 31, 2024 improved from the prior year comparable period primarily due to favourable foreign exchange and higher
by-product credits, combined with cost decrease s. Annual copper cash cost guidance remains unchanged. All-in sustaining
cost per pound ("AISC") in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was lower than in the prior year comparable period due to
decreased cash cost per pound.
In the quarter ended March 31, 2024, approximately 12,600 oz of gold and 272,300 oz of silver were subject to terms of a
streaming agreement from which approximately $429/oz of gold and $4.28/oz of silver will be received.
Gross Profit
Gross profit in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was lower than in the prior year comparable period, primarily due to
lower realized copper prices, net of price adjustments, higher depreciation expense and lower sales volume, partially offset
by favourable foreign exchange and lower operational cost.

2 Caserones 2023 results are from July 13, 2023.
Production
In the quarter ended March 31, 2024, an increase in copper grade from Q4 2023 was offset by lower recoveries as a result
of mine sequencing. Throughput in the quarter was reduced by unplanned maintenance on a conveyor feeding the grinding
circuit, impacting copper and molybdenum concentrate production. This reduction was partially offset by increased copper
cathode production which benefited from increased leach irrigation. Both copper and molybdenum remain on track to
meet annual production guidance.
Production Costs and Cash Cost
Production costs and cash costs per pound in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 benefitted from favourable foreign
exchange as a result of the Chilean peso weakening against the US dollar. Annual copper cash cost guidance remains
unchanged. In April 2024 the Company completed a three-year collective bargaining agreement with one of three employee
labour unions at Caserones. Renewal of the remaining two agreements is expected to occur over the next twelve months.
Gross Profit
Gross profit in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 benefited from higher copper prices, net of price adjustments, lower

Production
Copper and gold production in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 were higher than in the prior year comparable period
primarily due to higher recoveries, partially offset by lower throughput. The lower amount of ore mined is a result of a shift
to processing increased amounts of stockpiled ore and an optimized mine plan that significantly reduces waste movement.
Both metals are on track to meet annual production guidance.
Production Costs and Cash Cost
Production costs in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 were lower than in the prior year comparable period primarily due to
lower sales volumes and lower mining costs as a result of a planned reduction in waste movement. Copper cash cost per
pound in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 improved from the prior year comparable period primarily due to mining cost
decreases combined with increased realized prices for gold sales, which reduce copper cash cost as by-product credits.
Annual copper cash cost guidance remains unchanged. AISC per pound in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was higher
than in the prior year comparable period primarily due to higher sustaining capital expenditure.
Gross Profit
Gross profit in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was lower than in the prior year comparable period due to lower realized

Production
Copper production in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was lower than in the prior year comparable period due to lower
grades and recoveries. Zinc production in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was lower than in the prior year comparable
period due to lower grades and recoveries. Throughput was lower than planned in the quarter due to a voluntary three-day
shutdown and subsequent ramp-up following the fatality that occurred in February. Both metals are expected to achieve
annual production guidance.
Production Costs and Cash Cost
Production costs in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 were lower than in the prior year comparable period primarily due to
decreases in sales volumes. Production costs benefited from lower unit production costs and lower maintenance costs at
the mine and mill. Copper cash cost per pound in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was higher than in the prior year
comparable period due to lower production volumes, lower by-product credits and unfavorable foreign exchange. Annual
copper cash cost guidance remains unchanged. AISC in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was higher than in the prior year
comparable period due to higher cash cost.
Gross (Loss) Profit
Gross loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was $18.1 million compared to the prior year gross profit of $ 13.6 million.
The decrease was a result of lower copper and zinc sales volumes, lower realized copper and zinc prices and higher
treatment and refining charges.

Production
Production of zinc in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was lower than the prior year comparable period primarily due to
lower grades, partially offset by higher recoveries. Lead and copper production in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was
lower than the first quarter of 2023 primarily due to lower grades and recoveries. Temporary challenges with equipment
availability also led to a slight delay in mining of high-grade stopes, and reduced throughput in the quarter. Annual zinc and
copper production is expected to meet annual production guidance.
Production Costs and Cash Cost
Production costs in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 were slightly higher than in the prior year comparable period and
zinc cash cost per pound in quarter ended March 31, 2024 was higher than in the prior year comparable period, primarily
due to lower production volumes. Full year cash cost guidance remains unchanged. AISC in quarter ended March 31, 2024
were higher than in the prior year comparable period in line with higher cash cost.
Gross Profit
Gross profit in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was lower than in the prior year comparable period primarily due to
lower zinc prices, net of price adjustments, higher depreciation expense, and higher production costs.

Josemaria Project (Argentina)
Project Development
The Company continues to optimize and de-risk activities for mining and production plans, plant throughput, concentrate
transportation, infrastructure, and updating the master schedule and plan including updating capital and operational costs
to mirror the optimizations.
Field activities were mainly associated with supporting the water and exploration programs. Work on the confirmation of
the water supply continues advancing with drilling on the water sources, testing, and obtaining the data from well tests to
update water supply and usage models.
The grinding mills and gearless mill drives ("GMDs") deliveries continue and will be stored at the San Juan warehouse facility
for preservation.
Work continues on permitting with the technical review of the tailings dam design, the northern corridor access road and
offsite power line EIAs which were submitted in 2023.
Government relations continue at both the national and provincial levels. At the national level, the Company continues to
monitor the new governments' implementation of the RIGI (incentive regime for large investments) and the associated
financial impacts. In conjunction, discussions on provincial royalties, infrastructure offset, and trust fund agreements
continue.
Commercial reviews and capital cost adjustments incorporating the throughput optimization results, infrastructure layout
improvement, concentrate shipping recommendations, adjusting major commodities prices to the current markets, and
incorporating currency exchange and inflation rates continue.
In Q1 2024, the Company spent $56.0 million in capital expenditure compared to $90.6 million in Q1 2023. The project is
expected to incur capital spend within the annual guidance amount.
Exploration Update
During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, exploration activity focused on in-mine and near-mine targets at the Company's
operations. Exploration drilling at Zinkgruvan was focused on resource expansion, Candelaria drilling was focused on
Candelaria Norte, and Chapada drilling concentrated on delineating the high-grade, near-mine trend at Corpo Sul.
At Caserones, exploration remains in the early stages. Geophysical surveys were recently carried out on the land package
and the data collected will help to refine our targets and advance our efforts. Exploration drilling was completed in the
lower portion of the mineral resource and at the Angelica oxide and sulphide targets, both near-mine targets that would
add potential mineral resources and extend the life of the operation.
At Josemaria, seasonal exploration drilling is coming to a close at the Cumbre Verde target near the Josemaria ore body. Six
holes were drilled targeting the same mineralized system and structures that hosted high grade mineralization on the
neighbouring property that run towards Josemaria. Exploration remains in its early stages and initial results highlight
copper/gold/silver mineralization. The data obtained will help further refine and target this mineralization. Work will
continue throughout the remainder of 2024, although it will be minimized during the winter season.
There was no exploration drilling at Neves-Corvo and Eagle in the quarter.

Cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter was $55.7 million higher than in the prior year comparable period.
This was primarily due to the inclusion of operating cash flows from Caserones, partially offset by reduced cash in the
quarter due to working capital changes.
Cash used in investing activities in the first quarter was $29.6 million higher than in the prior year comparable period.
Higher spending in the current year was primarily due to the inclusion of sustaining capital expenditure at Caserones, higher
sustaining capital expenditure at Chapada and Candelaria and was partially offset by lower expansionary capital
expenditures relating to the Josemaria Project.
Cash from financing activities in the first quarter was $82.8 million higher than in the prior year comparable period. The
increase was primarily due to $65.0 million proceeds received from subsidiary fixed term loans and a net draw down of
$50.0 million from the Company's revolving credit facility during the quarter.
Free cash flow from operations in the first quarter was slightly lower than the prior year comparable period as a result of
working capital changes and increased sustaining capital expenditure, and was mostly offset by the inclusion of operating
cash flows from Caserones. Free cash flow in the first quarter was $32.5 million higher than in the prior year comparable
period as a result of reduced spending relating to the Josemaria Project.

Non-GAAP and Other Performance Measures
The Company uses certain performance measures in its analysis. These performance measures have no meaning within
generally accepted accounting principles under IFRS and, therefore, amounts presented may not be comparable to similar
data presented by other mining companies. This data is intended to provide additional information and should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The following are
non-GAAP measures that the Company uses as key performance indicators.
Non-GAAP financial
measure or ratio Definition
Most directly
comparable IFRS
measure
Why management uses the
measure and why it may be
useful to investors
Cash cost Includes costs directly attributable to mining operations
(including mining, processing and administration),
treatment, refining and transportation charges, but
excludes royalty expenses, expenses associated with non-
cash fair value adjustments to inventory, depreciation and
amortization and capital expenditures for deferred
stripping. Revenue from sales of by-products, inclusive of
adjustments for the terms of streaming agreements but
excluding the recognition of any deferred revenue from the
allocation of upfront streaming proceeds, reduce cash
costs.
Production costs Copper, zinc and nickel cash
cost per pound sold are useful
measures to assess the
operating performance of the
Company's mines, and their
ability to generate cash. The
inclusion of by-product credits
incorporates the benefit of
other metals extracted in the
production of the primary
metal.
Cash cost per pound
sold
This ratio is calculated by dividing cash cost by the sales
volume of the primary metal (copper, zinc, or nickel).
All-in sustaining cost
("AISC")
Includes cash cost (as defined above), royalties, sustaining
capital expenditure (including deferred stripping and
underground mine development), reclamation and other
closure cost accretion and amortization and lease
payments (cash basis). As this measure seeks to reflect the
full cost of production from current operations,
expansionary capital and certain exploration costs are
excluded as these are costs typically incurred to extend
mine life or materially increase the productive capacity of
existing assets, or for new operations. Corporate general
and administrative expenses have also been excluded as
any attribution of these costs to an operating site would
not necessarily be reflective of costs directly attributable to
the administration of the site. Certain other cash
expenditures, including tax payments, financing charges
(including capitalized interest) and costs related to
business combinations, asset acquisitions and asset
disposals are also excluded.
Production costs Copper, zinc and nickel AISC
and ASIC per pound sold are
useful measures to understand
the full cost of producing and
selling metal at the Company's
mines, and each mine's ability
to generate cash while
sustaining production at current
levels.
AlSC per pound sold This ratio is calculated by dividing AISC by the sales volume
of the primary metal (copper, zinc, or nickel).
Sustaining capital
expenditures
This supplementary financial measure is defined as cash-
basis expenditures which maintain existing operations and
sustain production levels.
Investment in
mineral properties,
plant and
equipment
Sustaining capital expenditures
provide an understanding of
costs required to maintain
existing production levels.
Expansionary capital
expenditures provide
information on costs required
for future growth of existing or
new assets.
Expansionary capital
expenditures
This non-GAAP measure is defined as cash-basis
expenditures which increase current or future production
capacity, cash flow or earnings potential and are reported
excluding capitalized interest. Where an expenditure both
maintains and expands current operations, classification
would be based on the primary decision for which the
expenditure is being made.

Non-GAAP financial
measure or ratio Definition
Most directly
comparable IFRS
measure
Why management uses the
measure and why it is useful to
investors
Realized price per
pound and realized
price per ounce1
Defined as revenue from metal sales (copper, zinc, gold,
nickel and molybdenum) adding back treatment and
refining charges, cash effects of gold and copper streams,
recognition of deferred revenue from the allocation of
upfront streaming proceeds and sales of silver and other
metals, divided by the volume of metal sold in the period.
Revenue These measures provide an
understanding of the price
realized in each reporting
period for metal sales.
Earnings before
interest, taxes,
depreciation and
amortization
(EBITDA) and
Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA represents net earnings or loss for the period
before income tax expense or recovery, depreciation and
amortization, interest income and finance costs. Adjusted
EBITDA removes the effects of items that do not reflect the
Company's underlying operating performance and are not
necessarily indicative of future operating results. These
may include: unrealized foreign exchange, unrealized gains
or losses from derivative contracts, revaluation gains or
losses on marketable securities, derivative liabilities and
purchase options, expenses for acquisition-related fair
value adjustments to inventory, non-cash impairment
charges and reversals, non-cash stockpile inventory or
fixed asset write-downs, costs relating to the sinkhole near
Ojos del Salado operations, income from investments in
associates, gains or losses on disposals of subsidiaries,
insurance proceeds and litigation and settlements.
Net earnings (loss) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
are used to evaluate the
Company's operational
performance and its ability to
generate cash from core
operations.
Adjusted earnings
(loss)
Defined as net earnings or loss attributable to shareholders
of the Company excluding the effects (net of tax) of
significant items that do not reflect the Company's
underlying operating performance. In addition to the items
listed for Adjusted EBITDA, these may also include:
deferred tax recovery or expense arising from foreign
exchange translation and deferred tax recovery or expense
arising from changes in tax rates. Adjustments exclude
amounts attributable to non-controlling interests.
Net earnings (loss)
attributable to
Lundin Mining
Corporation
shareholders
In addition to conventional
measures prepared in
accordance with IFRS, adjusted
earnings and adjusted earnings
per share measure the
underlying operating
performance of the Company.
Adjusted earnings
(loss) per share
This ratio is calculated by dividing adjusted net earnings or
loss by the weighted average number of shares
outstanding.
Free cash flow from
operations
Defined as cash flow provided by operating activities,
excluding general exploration and business development
costs and deducting sustaining capital expenditures (as
defined above).
Cash provided by
operating activities
Free cash flow from operations
is indicative of the Company's
ability to generate cash from its
operations after consideration
of required sustaining capital
expenditure necessary to
maintain existing production
levels.
Free cash flow Defined as cash flow provided by operating activities,
deducting sustaining capital expenditures and
expansionary capital expenditures (both as defined above).
Adjusted operating
cash flow
Defined as cash provided by operating activities, excluding
changes in non-cash working capital items.
Cash provided by
operating activities
These measures are indicative
of the Company's ability to
generate cash from its
operations and remove the
impact of working capital,
which can experience volatility
from period-to-period.
Adjusted operating
cash flow per share
This ratio is calculated by dividing adjusted operating cash
flow by the weighted average number of shares
outstanding.
Net debt Net debt is defined as total debt and lease liabilities
excluding deferred financing fees, less cash and cash
equivalents. Net debt excluding lease liabilities is defined
as total debt excluding lease liabilities, deferred financing
fees, less cash and cash equivalents.
Debt and lease
liabilities, current
portion of debt and

These measures are indicative
of the Company's financial

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(i) Basis of presentation and measurement
The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS

Part 1 of the CPA Canada Handbook - Accounting including IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The condensed
interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial
instruments which have been measured at fair value.
The Company's presentation currency is United States (“US”) dollars. Reference herein to $ or USD is to US
dollars, C$ or CAD is to Canadian dollars, SEK is to Swedish krona, € refers to the Euro, CLP refers to the Chilean
peso, BRL refers to the Brazilian real, and ARS refers to the Argentine peso.

(iii) New accounting standards issued
Amendments to IAS 1 - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current
In January, 2020, the IASB issued Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (Amendments to IAS 1)
providing a more general approach to the classification of liabilities under IAS 1 based on the contractual
arrangements in place at the reporting date. Under existing requirements, a liability is current if an unconditional
right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period does not exist. With
the introduction of the two amendments to IAS 1 in 2024, for a liability to be classified as non-current, a company
must have the right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. The
right must have substance and exist at the end of the reporting period, and the classification of the liability must
be unaffected by the likelihood that the company will exercise that right. The amendments apply retrospectively
for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024, with early application permitted and have
been applied with no material impact on the Company in the current reporting period.
Amendments to IAS 12 - International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model Rules
In May 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12 – Income Taxes. The amendments provide an exception to
the requirements regarding the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities related to the Pillar Two global
minimum tax rules and were effective immediately . The Company has applied the exception to recognizing and
disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes whilst it
continues to evaluate the impact of these income taxes on its consolidated financial statements.
Additionally, the amendments to IAS 12 require disclosure of the Company's current tax expense or income
related to Pillar Two income taxes and disclosure of known or reasonably estimable information regarding the
Company's exposure to Pillar Two income taxes. Among the jurisdictions where the Company operates, Pillar Two
legislation is enacted in Sweden and Netherlands and is expected to be substantially enacted in Canada and
Portugal in 2024. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of the Pillar Two legislation for when it
comes into effect, but the quantitative impact of the enacted or substantively enacted legislation has not yet
been determined.
(iv) Critical accounting estimates and judgments in applying the entity’s accounting policies
Areas of judgment that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements
are disclosed in Note 2 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2023.

20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Derivative instruments
From time to time, the Company uses derivative contracts as part of its risk management strategy to mitigate exposure
to foreign currencies and commodities. Beginning in 2022, the Company entered into EUR, BRL, CLP, SEK and CAD
foreign currency options and forward contracts intended to limit the foreign exchange exposure of its forecasted
foreign currency denominated after-tax attributable operating and capital expenditures. In 2023, the Company
entered into commodity forward swap contracts to limit exposure to changes in the price of diesel fuel purchases at
Candelaria. The foreign exchange and commodities contracts have not been designated as hedges for purposes of
hedge accounting and are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement
of earnings.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company entered into zero cost collar contracts in the total
