(TSX: LUN; Nasdaq Stockholm: LUMI) Lundin Mining Corporation (“Lundin Mining” or the “Company”) announces that it intends to make a normal course issuer bid (a “NCIB”) to purchase up to 63,718,842 common shares of the Company (the “Common Shares”) on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”).

The NCIB has been approved by the Company’s board of directors; however, it is subject to acceptance by the TSX and, if accepted, will be made in accordance with the applicable rules and policies of the TSX and applicable Canadian securities laws. Under the NCIB, Common Shares may be repurchased in open market transactions on the TSX and/or other Canadian exchanges, or by such other means as may be permitted by the TSX and applicable Canadian securities laws. The price that Lundin Mining will pay for Common Shares in open market transactions will be the market price at the time of purchase.

In accordance with TSX rules, any daily purchases (other than pursuant to a block purchase exception) on the TSX under the NCIB are limited to a maximum of 571,698 Common Shares, which represents 25% of the average daily trading volume on the TSX for the six months ended October 31, 2018. Any Common Shares that are purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled.

Under the NCIB, up to 63,718,842 Common Shares (representing 10% of the total outstanding Common Shares as of November 28, 2018, minus those Common Shares beneficially owned, or over which control or direction is exercised by the Company, the senior officers and directors of the Company and every shareholder who owns or exercises control or direction over more than 10% of the outstanding Common Shares), may be purchased on the TSX over a period of twelve months commencing after TSX approval.

The actual number of Common Shares that may be purchased and the timing of such purchases will be determined by the Company. Decisions regarding purchases will be based on market conditions, share price, best use of available cash and other factors.
