NEWS RELEASE
Lundin Mining First Quarter 2025 Results
Vancouver, May 7, 2025 (TSX: LUN; Nasdaq Stockholm: LUMI) Lundin Mining Corporation (“Lundin Mining” or the
“Company”) today reported its first quarter 2025 financial results. Unless otherwise stated, results are presented in United
States dollars on a 100% basis.
Jack Lundin, President and CEO commented, “In the quarter we produced 76,774 tonnes of copper and 31,849 ounces of
gold, keeping us firmly on track to achieve our annual guidance. Higher realized gold prices and solid operating
performance drove nearly $1 billion in revenue, alongside $388 million in adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and
$337 million in adjusted operating cash flow from continuing operations. Our consolidated copper cash costs came in at
$2.07 per pound, within the lower end of our guidance range, demonstrating our continued focus on cost discipline.
"Beyond operations, we completed several key strategic initiatives, including the $1.4 billion sale of our European assets
on April 16th, which has meaningfully strengthened our balance sheet. We also introduced a new shareholder distribution
policy that targets $220 million in annual shareholder returns.
"In January we finalized the joint acquisition of Filo Corp. with our partner BHP to form Vicuña Corp., and earlier this week
we announced the combined Mineral Resource estimate for the Filo del Sol and Josemaria deposits collectively, the Vicuña
project, demonstrating a significant future growth opportunity for the Company. This quarter reflects the strength of our
strategy and positions us well for the year ahead.”
First Quarter Operational and Financial Highlights
On April 16, 2025, the Company closed the sale of its European assets, Zinkgruvan and Neves -Corvo, to Boliden for cash
consideration of $1,402 million. The financial results from these assets are reported as “discontinued operations” in the
Company’s financial statements.
• Copper Production: Production of 76,774 tonnes of copper in the first quarter from continuing operations.
• Other Production: During the quarter, 32,000 ounces of gold and 2,296 tonnes of nickel were produced.
• Revenue: $963.9 million in the first quarter from continuing operations with a realized copper price 1 of $4.63 /lb and
a realized gold price1 of $3,349 /oz.
• Net Earnings and Adjusted Earnings 1: During the quarter, net earnings from continuing operations attributable to
shareholders of the Company was $138.1 million ($0.16 per share) and adjusted earnings from continuing operations
was $93.9 million ($0.11 per share).
• Adjusted EBITDA1: $387.9 million was generated from continuing operations for the quarter.
• Cash Generation: Cash provided by continuing operations was $122.3 million and free cash flow from operations -
continuing operations 1 was $21.6 million, which was impacted by lower operating cash flow as a result of a $214.7
million negative change in working capital during the quarter.
• Growth: The Company completed several significant initiatives that redefined its asset portfolio and positioned the
Company for long-term growth:
◦ During the quarter the Company completed the joint acquisition of Filo Corp. with BHP and formed the
50/50 joint arrangement, Vicuña Corp. ("Vicuña"), to hold the Filo del Sol project and the Josemaria project.
◦ The Company entered into an exclusivity agreement with Talon Metals Corp. on March 5, 2025 to acquire a
highly prospective exploration project ("Boulderdash") adjacent to the Company's Eagle Mine.
◦ During the quarter Lundin Mining announced a new shareholder distribution policy that provides an annual
return of approximately $220 million per year to shareholders through a combination of dividends and
share buybacks.
1 These are non -GAAP measures. Please refer to the Company's discussion of non -GAAP and other performance measures in its Management's Discussion
and Analysis ("MD&A") for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures section at the end of this news release.
===== SIDA 2 =====
◦ On April 16, 2025 Lundin Mining completed the sale of Neves -Corvo and Zinkgruvan to Boliden for cash
proceeds of $1,402 million and subsequently paid off its term loan of $1,150 million.
◦ On May 4, 2025 the Company announced an initial Mineral Resource estimate for the Filo del Sol sulphide
deposit, an update to the Mineral Resource estimate for the Filo del Sol oxide deposit and an update to the
Mineral Resource estimate for the Josemaria deposit, which highlighted the combined Vicuña project as one
of the largest copper, gold and silver resources in the world.
• Outlook: The Company reaffirms it is tracking to full year guidance for production, cash costs and capital
expenditures. The Company continues to benefit from stronger throughput at Candelaria and Caserones, while
higher gold prices have improved cash costs which are expected to continue into the second quarter.
• Assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations: All assets and liabilities relating to the Neves -
Corvo and Zinkgruvan reporting segments have been classified as current assets and current liabilities held for sale
as at March 31, 2025. The operating results of these segments have been classified as earnings (loss) from
discontinued operations.
Total assets of $1,442.2 million and liabilities of $407.2 million have been classified as held for sale for this purpose.
Net loss from discontinued operations of $13.8 million represents the net loss of $39.3 million and the net earnings
of $25.5 million from Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

• For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company generated revenue from continuing operations of $963.9
million (Q1 2024 - $812.3 million) and from discontinued operations of $180.1 million (Q1 2024 - $124.7 million).
• Gross profit from continuing operations for the quarter of $308.9 million was $111.5 million higher than in the prior
year comparable period of $197.5 million. The increase was primarily due to higher realized copper and gold prices,
lower treatment charges, and favourable foreign exchange. Gross profit from discontinued operations for the
quarter of $69.9 million increased from a gross loss of $12.1 million in the prior year comparable period primarily
due to no depreciation being taken on assets classified as held for sale.
===== SIDA 4 =====
• Net earnings from continuing operations for the quarter of $181.4 million increased from the prior year comparable
period of $83.0 million primarily due to an increase in gross profit. Net loss from discontinued operations for the
quarter of $13.8 million (Q1 2024 - net loss of $24.4 million) primarily resulted from the Euro strengthening in the
quarter, resulting in a non-cash impairment of $65.7 million net of tax (Q1 2024 - nil) to reduce the carrying value of
Neves-Corvo to the cash proceeds subsequently received for this asset. This loss was partially offset by increased
gross profit from discontinued operations.
• Adjusted earnings from continuing operations for the quarter of $93.9 million, increased from the prior year
comparable period of $56.4 million as a result of higher gross profit.
• Cash provided by operating activities related to continuing operations for the quarter of $122.3 million represented
a decrease of $109.8 million from the prior year comparable period of $232.2 million . The decrease was primarily
due to negative working capital outflows of $214.7 million (Q1 2024 - $61.8 million ) including a buildup of trade
receivables from shipments toward the end of the quarter and the recognition of $45.0 million of revenue at
Caserones for shipments in early January for which payment had been received in December 2024. The shipments
of copper concentrate were delayed due to certain operational and weather -related issues. Cash provided by
operating activities related to discontinued operations for the quarter was $54.7 million (Q1 2024 - $35.4 million).
• For the quarter, sustaining capital expenditures 1 from continuing operations of $112.6 million were lower than in
the prior year comparable period of $176.5 million. The net reduction was primarily due to lower spending at
Candelaria from reduced deferred stripping and reduced spending on the Los Diques tailing storage facility.
Sustaining capital expenditures, from discontinued operations, related to Neves -Corvo and Zinkgruvan were $27.7
million and $21.3 million , respectively, for the quarter.
• Expansionary capital expenditures1 of $62.9 million for the quarter were higher than $56.0 million in the prior year
comparable period as a result of initiatives at Candelaria related to the mine life extension to 2040 under the
Environmental Impact Assessment ("2040 EIA"), partially offset by lower allocated spending at the Josemaria Project
due to the formation of Vicuña, which completed on January 15, 2025. As of the formation date, 50% of Vicuña's
capital expenditures are included in the Company's capital expenditures.
• Free cash flow 1 (all operations) for the quarter of negative $(47.5) million was lower than in the prior year
comparable period of negative $(1.7) million primarily due to less cash provided by operating activities due to
negative changes in working capital, partially offset by lower sustaining capital expenditures. Free cash flow from
discontinued operations for the quarter was $5.6 million.
• As at May 7, 2025, the Company had cash of approximately $252.6 million and net debt excluding lease liabilities1 of
approximately $279.6 million.
1 These are non -GAAP measures. Please refer to the Company's discussion of non -GAAP and other performance measures in its Management's Discussion
and Analysis ("MD&A") for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures section at the end of this news release.

Candelaria (80% owned): Candelaria produced 37,071 tonnes of copper and approximately 21,000 ounces of gold in
concentrate on a 100% basis during the quarter. Production in the quarter was positively impacted by increased
throughput as a result of higher than anticipated ore softness in sections of Phase 11 in the open pit. The majority of the
material processed was from Phase 11, together with material from Phase 12 and long -term stockpiles. Cash cost 3of
$1.75/lb was positively impacted by favorable by-product credits driven primarily by higher metal prices.
Caserones (70% owned): Caserones produced 28,709 tonnes of total copper and 602 tonnes of molybdenum on a 100%
basis during the quarter. Production was positively impacted by higher throughput in the mill as a result of operational
efficiencies that mitigated lower than anticipated grades due to sequencing. Revenue and production costs increased as a
result of higher sales volumes as two shipments delayed from December 2024 were completed in the quarter. Cash cost
of $2.52/lb in the quarter was impacted by higher contractor and maintenance costs.
Chapada (100% owned): Chapada produced 8,909 tonnes of copper and approximately 11,000 ounces of gold in
concentrate during the quarter. Both metals were impacted by lower recoveries as a result of increased processing of ore
from the older low -grade stockpile. Production costs were reduced by lower sales volumes and favourable foreign
exchange. Cash cost of $1.47 /lb also benefitted from favourable foreign exchange, combined with higher gold by -product
credits.
Eagle (100% owned): Eagle produced 2,296 tonnes of nickel and 2,085 tonnes of copper in the quarter. Production was
impacted by lower grades than anticipated at the beginning of the quarter and winter weather which affected ore haulage.
Ramp rehabilitation was completed during the quarter, and normal levels of production are expected for the remainder of
the year. Production costs were reduced primarily by lower sales volumes. Nickel cash cost of $3.94/lb was positively
impacted by lower mining costs. During the quarter, the Company entered into an exclusivity agreement with Talon Metals
Corp. ("Talon") to negotiate an earn -in agreement for the right to acquire up to a 70% ownership interest in the
Boulderdash property that is near Eagle.
Neves-Corvo (100% owned): Neves-Corvo produced 6,123 tonnes of copper and 27,691 tonnes of zinc during the quarter.
Cash cost during the quarter was $1.69/lb.
Zinkgruvan (100% owned): Zinkgruvan produced 21,257 tonnes of zinc and 7,586 tonnes of lead in the quarter. Zinc cash
cost during the quarter was $0.40/lb.

Outlook
The Company reaffirms its guidance for production, cash costs, capital expenditures, and exploration that was released on
January 16, 2025. In regard to operations, the Company expects that all of its sites will meet their respective guidance
ranges as published.
At Candelaria, softer ore is expected to continue into the second quarter which will benefit throughput in the mill as seen
in this quarter. The Company expects cash costs in the second quarter to be in line with the first quarter, benefiting from a
higher gold price.
At Caserones, the performance of the mill, together with expected grade increases and strong cathode production are
expected to sustain the Company's annual production guidance for 2025.
At Chapada, production is second half of the year weighted, copper grades and recoveries are expected to increase during
this period. Sequencing of the mine plan forecasts processing less lower-grade stockpile and more fresh ore.
At Eagle, it is expected that mine sequencing and grades will normalize during Q2 which supports maintaining the
Company's annual production guidance. Additionally, mining at the Eagle deposit is expected to be completed towards the
end of the year and higher grade ore from Eagle East will be sourced.
See below for the 2025 Guidance as released on January 16, 2025:

Vicuña
On January 15, 2025, the Company completed the Filo Acquisition and the Joint Arrangement, resulting in the Company
indirectly holding a 50% interest in Vicuña Corp., which owns the Josemaria Project in Argentina and the Filo del Sol Project
in Argentina and Chile. BHP indirectly owns the remaining 50% interest in Vicuña.
Vicuña will be led by Dave Dicaire, General Manager, Vicuña, former Executive Vice President of the Josemaria Project at
Lundin Mining. During the quarter, integration efforts were prioritized, with employees from the Josemaria and Filo del Sol
project teams transitioning to Vicuña to ensure continuity and preserve project knowledge. Recruitment for key leadership
positions also commenced.
In 2025, work will focus on advancing studies related to the synergies between the Filo del Sol and Josemaria projects,
continuing the drilling program, and progressing the development of the Josemaria Project.
Activities at Josemaria during the quarter centered on the ongoing update of the Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA")
and continued advancement of the water program. Fieldwork progressed on the water program, geotechnical studies, and
the wetlands biodiversity offset initiatives. In addition, the contract for the construction of the Northern Access Road was
awarded, with construction scheduled to begin in mid-2025. Work also continued on a multi-phased development concept
pertaining to the Josemaria and Filo del Sol ore bodies. An integrated technical report is targeted to be complete by early
2026.
Government relations activities continued with both the national and provincial governments. In conjunction, discussions
on provincial agreements continued to be advanced. A plan for preparation and submission of the Basis Law - Incentive
Regime for Large Investments ("RIGI") application was advanced.
Community investment programs were launched with a focus on gender, youth training, cooperative development, and
rural livelihoods.
Drilling during the quarter of 16,650 m primarily focused on step -out holes to both the east and west designed to expand
the Filo del Sol Mineral Resource. Additionally, an exploration hole in the exploration sector of Cumbre Verde further north
was finished at 1,400 m, of which 436 m were drilled in Q1.
===== SIDA 8 =====
On May 4, 2025 the Company announced an initial Mineral Resource estimate for the Filo del Sol sulphide deposit, an
update to the Mineral Resource estimate for the Filo del Sol oxide deposit and an update to the Mineral Resource estimate
for the Josemaria deposit, which highlighted the combined Vicuña Project as one of the largest copper, gold and silver
resources in the world.
During the quarter, the Company spent $42.7 million in capital expenditures compared to $56.0 million in the prior year
comparable period. Reduced spending was primarily due to capital expenditures for the Josemaria Project being recorded
in Vicuña at the Company's 50% attributable share compared to 100% in the prior year comparable period.
Senior Leadership Appointment
The Company would also like to announce the executive appointment of Vlada Cvijetinovic as Vice President, Legal &

Highlights
For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company generated revenue from continuing operations of $963.9 million (Q1
2024 - $812.3 million) and from discontinued operations of $180.1 million (Q1 2024 - $124.7 million). Net income in the
quarter from continuing operations was $181.4 million (Q1 2024 - net income of $83.0 million) and net loss from
discontinued operations was $13.8 million (Q1 2024 - net loss of $24.4 million).
For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, cash provided by operating activities related to continuing operations of $122.3
million (Q1 2024 -$232.2 million) and free cash flow - continuing operations1 of $(53.1) million (Q1 2024 - $(0.3) million)
decreased due to negative changes in working capital. Adjusted operating cash flow1 from continuing operations was
$337.0 million (Q1 2024 - $294.0 million) after adjusting for changes in working capital, and benefited from increased
revenue and gross profit in the quarter.
At March 31, 2025, the Company had net debt excluding lease liabilities 1 of $1,441.7 million (December 31, 2024 - $1,332.3
million).
On January 15, 2025, the Company and BHP Investments Canada Inc. ("BHP") completed the acquisition of Filo Corp. ("Filo")
through a plan of arrangement and concurrently formed a 50/50 joint arrangement, Vicuña Corp. (the "Joint Arrangement"
or “Vicuña”), holding the Josemaria Project in Argentina and the Filo del Sol Project in Argentina and Chile, collectively the
("Vicuña Project"). On completion, BHP paid Lundin Mining a cash consideration of $689.5 million for a 50% interest in the
Josemaria project and Lundin Mining paid $610.7 million (C$877.8 million) in cash and issued 94.1 million Lundin Mining
shares to Filo shareholders for its 50% interest in Filo. Following these transactions, net cash provided to the Company was
$78.8 million. The Company accounts for Vicuña as a joint operation and accordingly records its 50% share of the assets,
liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, on April 16, 2025, the Company announced the completion of the sale of its Neves-
Corvo operation in Portugal and Zinkgruvan operation in Sweden to Boliden AB. At closing, Lundin Mining received cash
proceeds of $1,402 million which includes accrued interest from the lock-box date of August 31, 2024. In connection with
the transaction, the Company may be entitled to future contingent payments of up to $150 million, which are tied to
commodity prices and satisfaction of certain conditions. As a result of the Euro strengthening in the quarter, a non-cash
impairment of $65.7 million ($65.7 million net of tax) was recorded at March 31, 2025 to reduce the carrying value of
Neves-Corvo to the cash proceeds subsequently received for this asset. On April 23, 2025, the cash proceeds from the sale
were used to repay the Company's $1,150 million term loan ("The Term Loan") in its entirety as well as $170.0 million on
the Company's revolving credit facility ("RCF"). As at May 7, 2025 , the Company had cash of approximately $ 252.6 million
and net debt excluding lease liabilities of approximately $279.6 million. Net cash in Vicuña is included on a 50% basis to
represent Lundin Mining's attributable share.

Operational Performance
Candelaria (80% owned): Candelaria produced 37,071 tonnes of copper and approximately 21,000 ounces of gold in
concentrate on a 100% basis during the quarter. Production in the quarter was positively impacted by increased throughput
as a result of higher than anticipated ore softness in sections of Phase 11 in the open pit. The majority of the material
processed was from Phase 11, together with material from Phase 12 and long-term stockpiles . Cash cost 1 of $1.75/lb was
positively impacted by favorable by-product credits driven primarily by higher metal prices.
Caserones (70% owned): Caserones produced 28,709 tonnes of total copper and 602 tonnes of molybdenum on a 100%
basis during the quarter. Production was positively impacted by higher throughput in the mill as a result of operational
efficiencies that mitigated lower than anticipated grades due to sequencing. Revenue and production costs increased as a
result of higher sales volumes as two shipments delayed from December 2024 were completed in the quarter. Cash cost of
$2.52/lb in the quarter was impacted by higher contractor and maintenance costs.
Chapada (100% owned): Chapada produced 8,909 tonnes of copper and approximately 11,000 ounces of gold in
concentrate during the quarter. Both metals were impacted by lower recoveries as a result of increased processing of ore
from the older low-grade stockpile. Production costs were reduced by lower sales volumes and favourable foreign
exchange. Cash cost of $1.47/lb also benefitted from favourable foreign exchange, combined with higher gold by-product
credits.
Eagle (100% owned): Eagle produced 2,296 tonnes of nickel and 2,085 tonnes of copper in the quarter. Production was
impacted by lower grades than anticipated at the beginning of the quarter and winter weather which affected ore haulage.
Ramp rehabilitation was completed during the quarter, and normal levels of production are expected for the remainder of
the year. Production costs were reduced primarily by lower sales volumes. Nickel cash cost1 of $3.94/lb was positively
impacted by lower mining costs. During the quarter, the Company entered into an exclusivity agreement with Talon Metals
Corp. ("Talon") to negotiate an earn-in agreement for the right to acquire up to a 70% ownership interest in the
Boulderdash property that is near Eagle.
Neves-Corvo (100% owned): Neves-Corvo produced 6,123 tonnes of copper and 27,691 tonnes of zinc during the quarter.
Cash cost during the quarter was $1.69/lb .
Zinkgruvan (100% owned): Zinkgruvan produced 21,257 tonnes of zinc and 7,586 tonnes of lead in the quarter . Zinc cash
cost1 during the quarter was $0.40/lb .

Corporate Updates
• On May 4, 2025 the Company announced an initial Mineral Resource estimate for the Filo del Sol sulphide deposit, an
update to the Mineral Resource estimate for the Filo del Sol oxide deposit and an update to the Mineral Resource
estimate for the Josemaria deposit, which highlighted the combined Vicuña Project as one of the largest copper, gold
and silver resources in the world.
• On April 16, 2025, the Company announced the completion of the sale of its Neves-Corvo operation in Portugal and
Zinkgruvan operation in Sweden to Boliden AB. At closing, Lundin Mining received cash proceeds of $1,402 million
which includes accrued interest from the lock-box date of August 31, 2024. Future contingent payments of up to $150
million are tied to commodity prices and satisfaction of certain conditions.
• On March 26, 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors amended the shareholder distribution policy to
increase the level of share buybacks while adjusting the dividend to maintain the total amount returned to
shareholders annually. As part of this strategy, the Company is adjusting its quarterly dividend from C$0.09 per share to
C$0.0275 per share while allocating up to approximately $150 million per annum in share buybacks through the
Company’s normal course issuer bid program. If the Company allocates less than $150 million in share buybacks in a
calendar year, the shortfall will be distributed as a special dividend. If applicable, the special dividend will be paid
alongside the regular fourth quarter dividend.
• On March 5, 2025, the Company entered into an exclusivity agreement with Talon to negotiate an earn-in agreement
for the right to acquire up to a 70% ownership interest in the Boulderdash property that is near the Company’s Eagle
mine, and the Company advanced $5.0 million to Talon to commence exploration at Boulderdash.
• On February 19, 2025, the Company announced the appointment of Ms. Victoria McMillan to the Company's Board of
Directors effective the same date. The Company also announced the retirement of Director Ms. Juliana Lam effective as
at the 2025 Annual Meeting.
• On February 12, 2025, the Company reported its Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates as at December 31,
2024 (or as otherwise specified).
• On January 30, 2025, the Company announced that it received notice from the Superintendencia del Medio Ambiente
("SMA") following investigative proceedings involving the sinkhole that occurred at the Alcaparrosa mine located in the
Candelaria complex in 2022. The notice levies a fine of $3.3 million and orders the continued closure of the Alcaparrosa
mine, based on four violations investigated. Mining operations at Alcaparrosa have been suspended since the incident
occurred in 2022 while operations at the Candelaria mine continue unaffected.
• On January 15, 2025, the Company and BHP completed the joint acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding
common shares (the "Filo Shares") of Filo not already owned by Lundin Mining, BHP and their respective affiliates (the
“Filo Acquisition”). Concurrently, Lundin Mining and BHP formed Vicuña. On completion, BHP paid Lundin Mining a
cash consideration of $689.5 million for a 50% interest in the Josemaria project and Lundin Mining paid $610.7 million
(C$877.8 million) in cash and 94.1 million Lundin Mining shares to Filo shareholders for its 50% interest in Filo.
Financial Performance
• Gross profit from continuing operations for the quarter of $308.9 million was $111.5 million higher than in the prior
year comparable period of $197.5 million. The increase was primarily due to higher realized copper and gold prices,
lower treatment charges, and favourable foreign exchange. Gross profit from discontinued operations for the quarter
of $69.9 million increased from a gross loss of $12.1 million in the prior year comparable period primarily due to no
depreciation being taken on assets classified as held for sale.
• Net earnings from continuing operations for the quarter of $181.4 million increased from the prior year comparable
period of $83.0 million primarily due to an increase in gross profit. Net loss from discontinued operations for the
quarter of $13.8 million (Q1 2024 - net loss of $24.4 million) primarily resulted from the Euro strengthening in the
quarter, resulting in a non-cash impairment of $65.7 million net of tax (Q1 2024 - nil) to reduce the carrying value of
Neves-Corvo to the cash proceeds subsequently received for this asset. This loss was partially offset by increased gross
profit from discontinued operations.

===== SIDA 21 =====
• Adjusted earnings 1 from continuing operations for the quarter of $93.9 million, increased from the prior year
comparable period of $56.4 million as a result of higher gross profit.
• Cash provided by operating activities related to continuing operations for the quarter of $122.3 million represented a
decrease of $109.8 million from the prior year comparable period of $232.2 million. The decrease was primarily due to
negative working capital outflows of $214.7 million (Q1 2024 - $61.8 million) including a buildup of trade receivables
from shipments toward the end of the quarter and the recognition of $45.0 million of revenue at Caserones for
shipments in early January for which payment had been received in December 2024. The shipments of copper
concentrate were delayed due to certain operational and weather-related issues. Cash provided by operating activities
related to discontinued operations for the quarter was $54.7 million (Q1 2024 - $35.4 million).
• For the quarter, sustaining capital expenditures 1 from continuing operations of $112.6 million were lower than in the
prior year comparable period of $176.5 million. The net reduction was primarily due to lower spending at Candelaria
from reduced deferred stripping and reduced spending on the Los Diques tailing storage facility. Sustaining capital
expenditures, from discontinued operations, related to Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan were $27.7 million and $21.3
million, respectively, for the quarter.
• Expansionary capital expenditures1 of $62.9 million for the quarter were higher than $56.0 million in the prior year
comparable period as a result of initiatives at Candelaria related to the mine life extension to 2040 under the
Environmental Impact Assessment ("2040 EIA"), partially offset by lower allocated spending at the Josemaria Project
due to the formation of Vicuña, which completed on January 15, 2025. As of the formation date, 50% of Vicuña's capital
expenditures are included in the Company's capital expenditures.
• Free cash flow1 (all operations) for the quarter of negative $(47.5) million was lower than in the prior year comparable
period of negative $(1.7) million primarily due to less cash provided by operating activities due to negative changes in
working capital, partially offset by lower sustaining capital expenditures. Free cash flow from discontinued operations
for the quarter was $5.6 million.
Financial Position and Financing
• Cash and cash equivalents related to continuing operations as at March 31, 2025 were $341.6 million. Cash provided by
operating activities related to continuing operations of $122.3 million in the quarter was used to fund investing
activities related to continuing operations of $101.0 million, which primarily included $176.0 million investment in
mineral properties, plant and equipment, partially offset by the net cash inflow of $78.8 million upon the formation of
Vicuña.
• As at March 31, 2025, the Company had net debt1 of $1,699.3 million and net debt excluding lease liabilities of $1,441.7
million. On April 23, 2025, the cash proceeds from the sale of Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan to Boliden were used to
repay the Company's existing $1,150.0 million Term Loan in its entirety as well as $170.0 million on the Company's RCF.
As at May 7, 2025 , the Company had cash of approximately $252.6 million and net debt excluding lease liabilities of
approximately $279.6 million.

2025 Outlook
The Company reaffirms its guidance for production, cash costs, capital expenditures, and exploration that was released on
January 16, 2025. In regard to operations, the Company expects that all of its sites will meet their respective guidance
ranges as published.
At Candelaria, softer ore is expected to continue into the second quarter which will benefit throughput in the mill as seen in
this quarter. The Company expects cash costs in the second quarter to be in line with the first quarter, benefiting from a
higher gold price.
At Caserones, the performance of the mill, together with expected grade increases and strong cathode production are
expected to sustain the Company's annual production guidance for 2025.
At Chapada, production is second half of the year weighted, copper grades and recoveries are expected to increase during
this period. Sequencing of the mine plan forecasts processing less lower-grade stockpile and more fresh ore.
At Eagle, it is expected that mine sequencing and grades will normalize during Q2 which supports maintaining the
Company's annual production guidance. Additionally, mining at the Eagle deposit is expected to be completed towards the
end of the year and higher grade ore from Eagle East will be sourced.
See below for the 2025 Guidance as released on January 16,2025:

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 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 impacted
production costs in Q3 2023 and Q4 2023, respectively, as in-process and concentrate inventory measured at fair value at
the acquisition date was sold. An $800.0 million Term Loan was entered into in conjunction with the acquisition and was
subsequently increased by $350.0 million with funds used to acquire an additional 19% of Caserones in 2024. Increased
debt has increased the Company's interest expense from Q3 2023 through Q1 2025, reducing net earnings.
In Q2 2024, a fall of ground in the lower ramp at the Eagle mine reduced mining rates while ramp rehabilitation was
completed. This resulted in lower revenue as well as $9.8 million, $14.8 million, and $11.4 million of overhead costs
incurred in Q2 2024, Q3 2024 and Q4 2024, respectively, reducing net earnings.
In Q4 2024, net earnings from continuing operations were reduced by non-cash impairments including $104.9 million ($82.8
million net of tax) relating to the Eagle mine due to a decline in nickel prices and prolonged rehabilitation of the Eagle East
ramp, $93.4 million ($61.7 million net of tax) related to the Suruca gold deposit near Chapada following the removal of
reserves and $55.9 million ($41.6 million net of tax) due to the continued closure of the Alcaparrosa mine within the
Candelaria mining complex. This amount was partially offset by a $28.3 million non-cash partial reversal of a previous long-
term ore stockpile inventory write-down at Chapada, as a result of higher market expectations for long-term copper and
gold prices.
In the quarters presented, the Company has entered into derivative contracts for foreign currency, diesel, copper prices and
gold prices as part of its risk management strategy. 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 expense and impact
the Company's net earnings.
As reported above, following the Company's announcement of a definitive agreement to sell its interest in the Neves-Corvo
and Zinkgruvan mines, results from these operations are reported as discontinued operations. Net loss from discontinued
operations in Q4 2024 was impacted by a $291.2 million non-cash impairment to align the carrying value of Neves-Corvo
with expected cash consideration. As a result of the Euro strengthening in Q1 2025 n et loss from discontinued operations
9
===== SIDA 27 =====
was impacted by a further $65.7 million non-cash impairment at Neves-Corvo to re-align its carrying value with subsequent
cash consideration.
In Q4 2024, a deferred tax recovery of $41.5 million was recorded at Caserones following a re-assessment of the estimated
future utilization of accumulated tax losses.
In Q1 2025, after the formation of Vicuña Corp., financial results are accounted for at the Company's 50% share. In prior
quarters the Josemaria Project (now part of Vicuña) was wholly owned by the Company and reported at 100%.

Revenue from continuing operations for the quarter of $963.9 million was an increase of $151.6 million over the prior year
comparable period. The revenue increase was primarily due to an increase in realized copper and gold prices.
Revenue from gold and silver for the quarter and year 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 $433/oz for gold at Candelaria and $4.32/oz for silver at Candelaria and between $4.50/oz and $4.75/oz for
silver at Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan, respectively. 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, which is limited to 7.9% of Chapada's total copper production.
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.

Production costs from continuing operations for the quarter were $516.9 million, an increase from $465.3 million in the
prior year comparable period. The increase was attributable to higher production costs at Caserones and Candelaria, driven
by higher contractor and labour costs resulting from an increased volume of material moved during the period, as well as
higher maintenance costs at Caserones related to planned maintenance activities. These increases were partially offset by
favourable foreign exchange. Production costs from discontinued operations were $110.2 million (Q1 2024 - $101.8
million).
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization
Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense for continuing operations for the quarter decreased compared to the
prior year comparable period. The decrease was primarily attributable to slightly lower depreciation at Candelaria and
Caserones, partly due to reduced amortization of deferred stripping . In addition, depreciation decreased at Eagle following
impairment in late 2024 of mineral properties and property, plant and equipment that resulted in a lower asset base for
depreciation.

Finance Costs
Total finance costs, net, from continuing operations amounted to $43.9 million for the quarter and increased from $33.3
million in the prior year comparable period primarily due to higher interest expense in line with increased debt and lease
liabilities.
Other Income and Expense
Net other expense from continuing operations for the quarter amounted to $2.8 million, compared to net other income of
$3.1 million in the prior year comparable period. The net expense is primarily related to increased foreign exchange losses
of $19.5 million resulting from foreign exchange revaluation of working capital and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies. Additionally, $11.7 million in realized losses on foreign exchange derivative contracts were mainly due to
devaluation of CAD against the USD relating to foreign currency forward contracts settled upon the Filo Acquisition. These
losses were partially offset by higher unrealized gains on mark-to-market valuation of unexpired foreign exchange and
commodity derivative contracts amounting to $36.0 million primarily from the strengthening of CLP and BRL against the
USD.

Current income tax expense in the quarter was higher than in the prior year comparable period primarily due to foreign
exchange fluctuations during the quarter.
Deferred income tax expense decreased compared to the prior period, primarily due to the utilization of losses in the prior
period at Caserones, and a deferred tax recovery at Chapada resulting from the foreign exchange revaluation of non-
monetary assets driven by the strengthening of the BRL against the USD as of March 31, 2025. This decrease was partially
offset by an increase in deferred tax expense at Candelaria due to positive provisional metal price adjustments in the
quarter and the recognition of deferred tax liability associated with outside basis differences related to the Company's
investment in Vicuña.

Production
Candelaria had strong production during the quarter due to high throughput levels at the mill. During the quarter, there
was an increase in ore milled due to higher than anticipated ore softness found in a specific area of Phase 11, which allowed
for higher throughput. Mining in the open pit during the quarter was focused on Phase 11 with some contribution from
higher grade areas of Phase 12. Additionally, the mill also processed ore from stockpiles during the quarter.
Production during the quarter was higher than in the prior year comparable period primarily due to higher grades and
throughput. As planned, average grades decreased from those realized in the second half of 2024 but were higher than in
the prior year comparable period primarily due to Q1 2024 grades being impacted negatively by mine sequencing
challenges in the open pit.
Production Costs and Cash Cost
Production costs in the quarter were higher than in the prior year quarter due to higher copper sales volumes and higher
contractor and labour costs. Contractor and labour costs are higher due to a higher level of material moved during the
period.
Cash cost per pound in the quarter was lower than the prior year comparable period due to higher by-product credits due
to favourable gold prices, higher sales volumes, and lower treatment charges. Cash cost per pound was partially offset by
higher mine and mill costs due to increased labour and contractor costs as a result of increased throughput and production
during the period. All-in sustaining cost per pound ("AISC") in the quarter was lower than in the prior year comparable
period primarily due to lower cash cost per pound, combined with lower sustaining capital expenditure. Sustaining capital
expenditures were lower in the quarter due to reduced deferred stripping and higher spending on the Los Diques tailings
storage facility in the prior year comparable period.
19
===== SIDA 37 =====
In the quarter, approximately 13,000 oz of gold and 280,000 oz of silver were subject to terms of a streaming agreement
from which approximately $ 433/oz gold and $ 4.32/oz silver were received. This represents approximately 68% of
Candelaria's total gold and silver production during the quarter.
Gross Profit
Gross profit in the quarter increased from the prior year comparable period primarily due to higher realized copper and
gold prices and positive price adjustments, lower treatment charges, and lower depreciation expense.
Expansionary Capital Expenditures
During the quarter, Candelaria spent $20.2 million on initiatives related to the mine life extension under the 2040 EIA . This
included key equipment deliveries as well as mining rights for properties.

Production
Caserones had a solid quarter, with production being positively impacted by higher throughput in the mill due to
operational efficiencies that helped mitigate lower than anticipated grades due to mine sequencing. In addition, copper
cathode production continued to remain strong during the quarter as a result of increased irrigation rates.
Caserones had lower copper production than the prior year comparable period due to lower grades as a result of mine
sequencing partially offset by higher throughput. Copper cathode production was lower than the prior year comparable
period due to lower amounts of ore placed on the leach pad in previous quarters. Molybdenum production was also lower
in the quarter than in the prior year comparable period due to lower grades.
Production Costs and Cash Cost
Production costs in the quarter were higher than in the prior year comparable period due to increased sales volumes,
increased contractor costs due to greater mine movement, and increased costs associated with planned maintenance. Sales
volumes increased as two shipments that were delayed from December 2024 due to certain operational and weather
related issues were completed in the quarter.
Cash cost per pound in the quarter was higher than in the prior year comparable period due to higher mine and mill costs as
a result of maintenance and contractors partially offset by higher sales volume and lower treatment charges. AISC per
pound in the quarter was higher than in prior period primarily due to higher cash costs partially offset by lower sustaining
capital expenditures as a result of lower stripping capitalization.
Gross Profit
Gross profit in the quarter was higher than in the prior year comparable period due to higher realized copper prices, lower
depreciation and higher sales volumes, which was partially offset by higher maintenance and contractor costs.

Production
During the quarter, operations at the mill were focused on processing ore from the older low-grade stockpile while
emphasizing higher throughput. The increased processing of this stockpile during the quarter led to lower recoveries, which
was the primary driver of the copper and gold production during the quarter being lower than the prior year comparable
period.
Production Costs and Cash Cost
Production costs in the quarter were slightly lower than in the prior year comparable period primarily due to favourable
foreign exchange and lower sales volumes, combined with lower electricity costs following the implementation of the long-
term strategic agreement to purchase renewable electricity at favourable pricing in 2025. Additionally, lower contractor and
mining costs were supported by a planned reduction in mine movement as part of the Chapada Full Potential program,
which started in 2022, and focuses on various site optimization activities.
Cash cost per pound in the quarter improved significantly from the prior year comparable period primarily due to higher by-
product credits as a result of increased realized prices for gold, favourable foreign exchange, as well as lower mining costs
following the initiatives implemented by the Full Potential program. AISC per pound in the quarter was lower than in the
prior year comparable period due to lower cash cost per pound and lower sustaining capital expenditure. Sustaining capital
expenditures were lower due to lower stripping capitalization.
Gross Profit
Gross profit in the quarter was higher than in the prior year comparable period primarily due to higher realized copper and
gold prices and favourable foreign exchange.

Production
Nickel and copper production during the quarter was impacted by lower grades at the beginning of the quarter and winter
weather which affected ore haulage and throughput. After the fall of ground in the lower ramp in Eagle East during Q2
2024, the primary main access ramp rehabilitation was completed in Q1 2025 and normal levels of production are expected
for the remainder of 2025. These factors were the primary driver of the nickel and copper production being lower than the
comparable prior year period.
Production Costs and Cash Cost
Production costs in the quarter were lower than in the prior year comparable period primarily due to lower production and
sales volumes.
Cash cost per pound in the quarter was lower than in the prior year comparable period due to lower mine costs, as a result
of savings from an initiative to use fewer contractors and in source underground mine operations, and higher by-product
credits. Cash cost per pound was partially offset by lower sales volume due to lower production as a result of ramp
rehabilitation. AISC per pound in the quarter was higher than in the prior year comparable period due to higher sustaining
capital expenditures including the purchase of two underground haul trucks.
Gross Profit
Gross profit in the quarter was lower than in the prior year comparable period due to negative provisional pricing
adjustments, lower sales volume, and higher mill and administration costs due to maintenance.

Production
Copper production in the quarter was lower than in the prior year comparable period due to lower throughput. Zinc
production in the quarter was higher than in the prior year comparable period mainly due to higher throughput and grades,
partially offset by lower recoveries.
Production Costs and Cash Cost
Production costs in the quarter were higher than in the prior year comparable period primarily due to higher zinc sales
volume and an increase in electricity and maintenance costs, partially offset by favourable foreign exchange. Electricity
costs increased as a result of higher market energy prices.
Cash cost per pound in the quarter was lower than in the prior year comparable period primarily due to higher by-product
credits driven by an increase in zinc sales volume and higher realized zinc prices as well as favourable foreign exchange,
partially offset by lower copper sales volume. AISC per pound in the quarter was lower than AISC from the prior year
comparable period due to lower cash cost per pound offset partially by higher sustaining capital expenditures.
Gross (Loss) Profit and Net Earnings
Gross profit was higher than the prior year comparable period primarily due to no depreciation being taken on assets
classified as held for sale, as well as higher realized copper and zinc prices and lower treatment and refining charges,
partially offset by lower copper sales volume and higher electricity costs. Net earnings in the quarter was impacted by a
non-cash impairment charge of $66 million to recognize mining rights and mineral properties at their estimated fair value,
based on the cash proceeds received.

Production
Zinc and lead production for the quarter were higher than in the prior year comparable period due to higher throughput,
grades and recoveries. Zinc production in the quarter was positively impacted by favourable mine sequencing and high
grade stopes. Copper production for the quarter was lower than in the prior year comparable period primarily due to lower
throughput. Copper production in the quarter is in line with the current mine plan as Zinc production has been prioritized.
Production Costs and Cash Cost
Production costs in the quarter were higher than in the prior year comparable period primarily due to higher zinc and lead
sales volumes.
Cash cost per pound for the quarter was lower than in the prior year comparable period primarily due to increased zinc

Vicuña Project (Argentina and Chile)
Project Development
On January 15, 2025, the Company completed the Filo Acquisition and the Joint Arrangement, resulting in the Company
indirectly holding a 50% interest in Vicuña Corp., which owns the Josemaria Project in Argentina and the Filo del Sol Project
in Argentina and Chile. BHP indirectly owns the remaining 50% interest in Vicuña.
Vicuña will be led by Dave Dicaire, General Manager, Vicuña, former Executive Vice President of the Josemaria Project at
Lundin Mining. During the quarter, integration efforts were prioritized, with employees from the Josemaria and Filo del Sol
project teams transitioning to Vicuña to ensure continuity and preserve project knowledge. Recruitment for key leadership
positions also commenced.
In 2025, work will focus on advancing studies related to the synergies between the Filo del Sol and Josemaria projects,
continuing the drilling program, and progressing the development of the Josemaria Project.
Activities at Josemaria during the quarter centered on the ongoing update of the Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA")
and continued advancement of the water program. Fieldwork progressed on the water program, geotechnical studies, and
the wetlands biodiversity offset initiatives. In addition, the contract for the construction of the Northern Access Road was
awarded, with construction scheduled to begin in mid-2025. Work also continued on a multi-phased development concept
pertaining to the Josemaria and Filo del Sol ore bodies. An integrated technical report is targeted to be complete by early
2026.
Government relations activities continued with both the national and provincial governments. In conjunction, discussions
on provincial agreements continued to be advanced. A plan for preparation and submission of the Basis Law - Incentive
Regime for Large Investments ("RIGI") application was advanced.
Community investment programs were launched with a focus on gender, youth training, cooperative development, and
rural livelihoods.
Drilling during the quarter of 16,650m primarily focused on step-out holes to both the east and west designed to expand
the Filo del Sol Mineral Resource. Additionally, an exploration hole in the exploration sector of Cumbre Verde further north
was finished at 1,400m, of which 436m were drilled in Q1.
On May 4, 2025 the Company announced an initial Mineral Resource estimate for the Filo del Sol sulphide deposit, an
update to the Mineral Resource estimate for the Filo del Sol oxide deposit and an update to the Mineral Resource estimate
for the Josemaria deposit, which highlighted the combined Vicuña Project as one of the largest copper, gold and silver
resources in the world.
During the quarter, the Company spent $42.7 million in capital expenditures compared to $56.0 million in the prior year
comparable period. Reduced spending was primarily due to capital expenditures for the Josemaria Project being recorded in
Vicuña at the Company's 50% attributable share compared to 100% in the prior year comparable period.
Exploration Update
During the quarter, exploration activity focused on in-mine and near-mine targets at the Company's operations. Exploration
drilling at Candelaria was focused on Candelaria South and La Portuguesa with a total of 5,180m completed during the
quarter.
At Caserones, there was no exploration drilling. Exploration efforts were focused on mapping, sampling and ground
geophysics on key targets. Drilling is due to commence for 2025 in early Q2. The drilling program will be focused at
Angelica, in search of copper sulphides, and at Caserones in search of higher-grade copper breccias.
A total of 3,408m was drilled using two rigs at Chapada. Both rigs were in the Sauva area, one concentrated on adding high
grade resources and the other was testing shallow targets.
Drilling was completed at Eagle during the quarter with one surface hole targeting a geophysical anomaly east of Eagle East.
On March 5, 2025, the Company entered into an exclusivity agreement with Talon to negotiate an earn-in agreement for
the right to acquire up to a 70% ownership interest in the Boulderdash property that is near the Company's Eagle mine. The
Company advanced $5.0 million to Talon to commence exploration at Boulderdash.

Cash provided by operating activities related to continuing operations during the quarter was $109.8 million lower than in
the prior year comparable period primarily due to negative working capital movements, including a buildup of trade
receivables from shipments toward the end of the quarter and the recognition of revenue at Caserones for shipments in
early January for which $45 million payment had been received in December 2024. The shipments of copper concentrate
were delayed due to certain operational and weather-related issues.
Adjusted operating cash flow related to continuing operations generated $43.0 million more in proceeds from the prior
year comparable period, primarily due to higher sales volumes at Candelaria and Caserones combined with higher realized
copper and gold prices. The favourable movement in metal prices contributed to positive provisional pricing adjustments on
prior period sales of $45.0 million compared to $7.6 million from 2024.
Cash used in investing activities related to continuing operations during the quarter was $133.3 million lower than in the
prior year comparable period, primarily due to a net cash inflow upon the formation of Vicuña. On January 15, 2025, BHP
paid Lundin Mining a cash consideration of $689.5 million for a 50% interest in the Josemaria project and Lundin Mining
paid $610.7 million (C$877.8 million) in cash and issued 94.1 million Lundin Mining shares to Filo shareholders for its 50%
interest in Filo. Following these transactions, net cash provided to the Company was $78.8 million.
Lower planned capital expenditures also contributed to reduced cash used in investing activities including a reduction in
stripping at Candelaria and the Company's attributable share of the Josemaria Project reducing to 50%. A summary of
capital expenditures on a cash basis is outlined below.

through an automatic share purchase plan, pursuant to the Company's Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”), which was
reintroduced at the end of 2024.
Free cash flow from operations - continuing operations and free cash flow - continuing operations during the quarter were
lower than in the prior year comparable period primarily due to negative working capital movements, partially offset by the
decrease in capital expenditures.
At discontinued operations, cash provided by operating activities during the quarter increased to $54.7 million from $35.4
million in the prior year comparable period. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volumes. Cash used in investing
activities related to discontinued operations was $48.4 million during the quarter and primarily related to sustaining capital

During the quarter, 8,429,800 shares were purchased under the Company's NCIB (Q1 2024 - nil shares).
Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies
The Company has contractual obligations and capital commitments as described in Note 25 “Commitments and
Contingencies” in the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March
31, 2025. From time to time, the Company may also be involved in legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its
business.
Capital Resources
As at March 31, 2025 , the Company has a Revolving Credit Facility ("RCF") of $1,750.0 million with $420.0 million
outstanding (December 31, 2024 - $270.0 million). The RCF bears interest on drawn funds at rates of Term Secured
Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”) plus Credit Spread Adjustment (“CSA”) of 0.10% plus an applicable margin of
1.45% to 2.50%, depending on the Company’s net leverage ratio. Previous security on the RCF over certain assets in the
United States of America was removed during the quarter. The facility remains subject to customary covenants and the
removal does not have a material impact on the financial position or performance of the Company. The RCF matures in
April 2029. On April 23, 2025, the Company repaid $170.0 million of the RCF with a portion of the cash proceeds from the
sale of the Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan operations.
As at March 31, 2025, the Company's Term Loan has a principal amount of $1,150.0 million. The Team Loan bears interest
at an annual rate equal to Term SOFR + CSA + an applicable margin of 1.60% to 2.65%, depending on the Company’s net
leverage ratio. Principal is payable at maturity in July 2027. On April 23, 2025 the Company used a portion of the cash
proceeds from the sale of the Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan operations to repay the entire principal amount of $1,150.0
million, and discharged the loan obligation.
The RCF contains, and the Term Loan contained terms to establish sustainability performance targets whereby the interest
rate margin in the facilities will be adjusted based on the Company's performance relative to the targets.
As at March 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants.
As at March 31, 2025 , certain subsidiaries of the Company had outstanding unsecured term loans totalling $194.5 million
(December 31, 2024 - $245.9 million) and which accrue interest at rates ranging from 5.07% to 6.05% per annum with
interest payable upon maturity. The maturity dates range from April to September 2025.
As at March 31, 2025, the Company also had unsecured commercial paper programs at Neves-Corvo of which $102.7
million (€95.0 million) was drawn. In April 2025, the Company repaid the entire outstanding balance of the commercial
papers.
The development of the Vicuña Project requires significant capital commitments from the Company, and additional funding,
beyond debt, may be required to advance the projects to completion.
Financial Instruments
Revenue, cost of goods sold and capital expenditures are affected by certain external factors including fluctuations in metal
prices, energy prices, and changes in exchange rates between the CLP, the BRL, the ARS and the $.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company did not enter into any new derivative contracts. At March 31, 2025
existing derivative contracts consist of foreign currency forward and option contracts as well as commodity swap forward
and option contracts. The option contracts consist of put and call contracts in a collar structure and all contracts have
maturities in 2025 or 2026.
The derivative contracts have not been designated as hedges for purposes of hedge accounting and are measured at fair
value as assessed by pricing models based on active market prices. Changes in fair value are recognized in other income and
expense in the consolidated statement of earnings.
The Company’s trade receivables also contain provisional pricing sales arrangements that are valued using quoted forward
market prices. The following table illustrates the sensitivity of the Company’s risk on final settlement of its provisionally

Non-GAAP and Other Performance Measures
The Company uses certain performance measures in its analysis and disclosure. These performance measures have no
standardized 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 cost.
Production costs
from continuing
operations and
Production costs
from discontinued
operations
Copper, zinc, nickel and
consolidated 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).
Consolidated cash
cost per pound sold
This ratio is calculated by dividing combined cash cost for
primary copper producing assets by combined sales
volume for copper producing assets. Primary copper
producing assets include Candelaria, Caserones, and
Chapada.
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
from continuing
operations and
Production costs
from discontinued
operations
Copper, zinc and nickel AISC
and AISC 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.

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, 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 from
continuing
operations
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, and finance costs, net. 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 or reversals, goodwill impairment,
costs relating to the sinkhole near Ojos del Salado
operations, costs relating to the suspension of
underground operations at Eagle, gains or losses on
disposals or partial disposals of subsidiaries, income from
investments in associates, insurance proceeds and
litigation and settlements.
Net earnings (loss)
from continuing
operations and
from discontinued
operations
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, deferred tax recovery or expense
arising from changes in tax rates, and deferred tax recovery
or expense relating to disposals or partial disposals of
subsidiaries. Adjustments exclude amounts attributable to
non-controlling interests.
Net earnings (loss)
attributable to
Lundin Mining
Corporation
shareholders and
Net earnings (loss)
from continuing
operations
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
related to
continuing
operations and
Cash provided by
operating activities
related to
discontinued
operations
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 further
considers expansionary capital
expenditure.
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
related to
continuing
operations and
Cash provided by
operating activities
related to
discontinued
operations
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
lease liabilities,
cash and cash
equivalents.
Additionally, the
above items as
included in assets
held for sale, and
liabilities held for
sale
These measures are indicative
of the Company's financial
position.
