Highlights
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company generated record revenue from continuing operations of $4,053.2
million (2024 - $3,270.1 million). Revenue in 2025 benefitted from increased realized copper and gold prices, combined
with production of 322,326 tonnes of copper, and 141,859 ounces of gold from continuing operations. In addition, Eagle
contributed 8,906 tonnes of copper, which successfully contributed to the Company meeting the most recent annual
copper production guidance and exceeding the upper end of the original annual copper production guidance. Annual gold
production guidance was also met during the period.
Net earnings from continuing operations in 2025 of $1,417.7 million (2024 - $267.6 million) benefitted from solid gross
profit generation and from a non-cash deferred tax recovery of $517.0 million due to an additional deferred tax asset
recognized at Caserones for tax loss carryforwards. Net earnings were partially offset by a $99.9 million ($65.9 million net of
tax) non-cash write down of long-term ore stockpile inventory at Chapada as a result of mine plan changes deprioritizing
the timing of processing of stockpiles. Excluding write-downs and other items, strong annual production in 2025 resulted in
adjusted earnings 1 - continuing operations of $687.9 million (2024 - $294.9 million) and record adjusted EBITDA1 -
continuing operations of $1,917.1 million (2024 - $1,426.9 million).
In 2025, cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $1,207.9 million (2024 - $1,311.4 million).
Operating cash flow benefitted from higher gross profit offset by a significant negative working capital build of $414.0
million during the year (2024 - positive working capital release of $221.7 million). Excluding working capital movements,
adjusted operating cash flow1 - continuing operations increased to $1,621.9 million, compared to $1,089.9 million in the
prior year comparable period.
The fourth quarter was the Company's best quarter for the year aided by elevated metal prices and improved copper sales
volume. The Company generated the highest quarterly revenue in its history, which included revenue from continuing
operations of $1,301.5 million (Q4 2024 - $833.3 million). Net earnings from continuing operations for the quarter was
$912.3 million (Q4 2024 - net loss $59.8 million) as a result of strong gross profit and was positively impacted by a $517.0
million non-cash deferred tax recovery at Caserones, partially offset by $99.9 million ($65.9 million net of tax) for the write-
down of the long-term ore stockpile inventory at Chapada. Adjusted earnings1 - continuing operations for the quarter was
$363.7 million (Q4 2024 - $102.9 million) and adjusted EBITDA1 - continuing operations for the quarter was $686.4 million
(Q4 2024 - $366.5 million).
On February 16, 2026, the Company announced the results of an integrated technical study for the Vicuña Project (the
Preliminary Economic Assessment “PEA” or "Study"), including an updated Mineral Resource estimate for the Vicuña
Project (the "Updated Vicuña Mineral Resource"). The Study highlights a development project with the potential to rank
among the top five copper, gold, and silver mines globally.
On January 9, 2026, the Company completed the sale of its Eagle operation to Talon. Under the terms of the agreement, the
Company received 275.2 million common shares of Talon which, along with the Company's existing 1.57% interest in Talon,
resulted in the Company owning 19.86% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Talon on completion of the
transaction. In addition, the Company and Lundin Mining US Ltd. (“Lundin Mining US”; the entity that indirectly holds the
Eagle mine and Humboldt mill and that was sold to Talon) entered into a Production Payment Agreement (the “Eagle PPA”)
pursuant to which Lundin Mining US will make ore delivery payments of $1.00 per metric tonne of non-Eagle ore processed
through the Humboldt mill to the Company until the aggregate ore delivery payments equal $20.0 million.
On April 16, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its European operations, Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan, to Boliden AB
("Boliden"). At closing, Lundin Mining received cash consideration of $1,402.0 million ($1,314.6 million, net of cash disposed
and transaction costs). In connection with the transaction, the Company may be entitled to future contingent payments of
up to $150.0 million if certain metal price thresholds are met. Upon completion of the sale, the Company recognized a net
gain on disposal of $106.4 million. Subsequent to closing, the Company recognized a revaluation gain of $47.0 million on
the contingent consideration, which includes a realized and unrealized gain of $5.5 million and $41.5 million, respectively.
Using the proceeds from the sale, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of the term loan ($1,150.0 million). At
December 31, 2025, the Company had net cash1 of $77.4 million (December 31, 2024 - net debt of $1,332.4 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"
6
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. As a result of these transactions, net cash provided to the Company
was $78.8 million on the formation of Vicuña. The Company accounts for Vicuña as a joint operation and accordingly
records its 50% share of the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows.

Operational Performance
Candelaria (80% owned): Candelaria produced, on a 100% basis, 145,471 tonnes of copper, 80,528 ounces of gold and 1.8
million ounces of silver during the year. Annual copper and gold production in 2025 was within the most recent guidance
ranges. During the year, mining in the open pit was focused on Phase 11 with some contribution from higher grade areas of
Phase 12. Production continued to benefit from higher throughput at the mill due to softer ore feed and finer ore size.
Consistent with the mine plan, realized grades during the year were lower than the prior year, which led to lower
production. Copper cash cost 1 of $1.92/lb was within the most recent cash cost guidance range and benefitted from higher
metal prices for by-product credits and was impacted by the lower average grades during the year. During the fourth
quarter, early renewals of labour agreements were completed with five unions at Candelaria. The agreements are each for
three-year terms and expire in 2029, replacing agreements expiring during 2026. The proactive early renewal of these
agreements will contribute to labour stability and operational efficiency at Candelaria in the medium term.
Caserones (70% owned): Caserones produced, on a 100% basis, 132,881 tonnes of copper and 2,082 tonnes of
molybdenum. Annual production for copper was at the top-end of the most recent production guidance range and fourth
quarter copper production was the highest since the mine was acquired by the Company in mid-2023. Mining during the
year focused on Phase 6 and copper production benefitted from higher throughput and recoveries. Copper cathode
production during the year benefitted from increased material placed on the dump leach in previous periods. Copper cash
cost of $2.17/lb was within the low-end of the most recent production guidance range and benefitted from strong
production as a result of higher throughput and recoveries, reduced treatment charges, and reduced labour expenses.
Chapada (100% owned): Chapada produced 43,974 tonnes of copper and approximately 61,331 ounces of gold during the
year. Production for both metals were within the most recent production guidance ranges. Mining in the year primarily
focused on ore from South and North pits in line with the planned mine sequencing. Annual copper production benefitted
from higher throughput. Gold production in the year was negatively impacted by reduced grades and recoveries relative to
2024. Copper cash cost of $0.75/lb was below the low end of the most recent guidance range and benefitted from
increased by-product credits as a result of higher realized gold prices.
Eagle (100% owned): Eagle produced 9,907 tonnes of nickel and 8,906 tonnes of copper during the year. The ramp
rehabilitation in Eagle East was completed in the first quarter of the year, allowing mining and processing activities to return
to normal levels. Annual nickel production in 2025 was within the most recent production guidance range, while annual
copper production was just below the low end of the most recent guidance range but was within the original guidance
range. Nickel cash cost1 of $2.55/lb benefitted from higher throughput and improved recoveries. Annual cash cost per
pound1 for the year exceeded the high end of the most recent production guidance range. Eagle results are reported as
discontinued operations in the Company's consolidated financial statements and MD&A. As at December 31, 2025, the
assets and liabilities of Eagle mine are reported as held for sale.

Corporate Updates
• On February 18, 2026, the Company reported its Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates as of December 31,
2025, or as otherwise specified. An updated Chapada technical report, including the Saúva project, is expected to be
released in the second half of 2026. 
• On February 16, 2026, the Company announced the results of an integrated technical study for the Vicuña Project
including the Updated Vicuña Mineral Resource. The PEA highlights a development project with the potential to rank
among the top five copper, gold, and silver mines globally.
• On February 12, 2026, the Company announced the receipt of commitments from 17 lenders to upsize and amend its
existing revolving credit facility ("RCF"), increasing the total committed amount from $1.75 billion to $4.5 billion with
the Company initially having access to $2.25 billion. Upon satisfaction of certain conditions, the RCF will expand to $3.5
billion, and upon sanctioning Stage 1 of the Vicuña Project, will increase to the full $4.5 billion. In addition, the maturity
date has been extended to 2031. Once amended, the RCF will bear interest on a sliding scale of adjusted term SOFR
plus a margin of 1.45% to 2.50%.
• On January 9, 2026, the Company announced the completion of the sale of its subsidiary Lundin Mining US which
indirectly holds the Eagle mine and Humboldt mill to Talon in exchange for 275.2 million Talon shares which, together
with shares previously held by the Company, represents approximately 19.86% of the issued and outstanding shares of
Talon. In addition, the Company and Lundin Mining US entered into the Eagle PPA, pursuant to which Lundin Mining US
will make ore delivery payments of $1.00 per metric tonne of non-Eagle ore processed through the Humboldt mill to
the Company until the aggregate ore delivery payments equal $20.0 million. At closing, the Board of Directors of Talon
was reconstituted to be comprised of ten directors with two nominees from the Company.
• On December 11, 2025, the Company announced that Vicuña has submitted an application for the inclusion of the
Josemaria and Filo del Sol deposits to the Incentive Regime for Large Investments (“RIGI”) under the Long-Term
Strategic Export Projects designation (“PEELP”) in Argentina. Argentina’s RIGI regime is designed to attract and
accelerate large-scale investment through long-term fiscal stability and transparent regulatory conditions.
• On November 28, 2025, the Company announced that it has received a ruling from its appeal to the Supreme Court of
Canada. The ruling upholds the 2023 Ontario Court of Appeal decision allowing a proposed securities class action to be
commenced relating to the timing of disclosure of a 2017 pit wall instability and rockslide at the Candelaria Mine in
Chile. The certified class action can now proceed before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. There has been no
decision on the merits of the case, and the Company intends to vigorously defend the case.
• On June 16, 2025, the Company announced the filing of a technical report entitled “NI 43-101 Technical Report on the
Vicuña Project, Argentina and Chile”, with an effective date of April 15, 2025 (the "Vicuña Technical Report"). 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 (collectively referred to as the “Vicuña Mineral Resource”), which highlighted the combined
Vicuña Project as one of the largest copper, gold and silver resources in the world. The Vicuña Technical Report,
including the Mineral Resource estimate set out therein, is superseded by the Updated Vicuña Mineral Resource
announced by the Company on February 16, 2026 and an updated technical report that will be filed under the
Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
• On May 26, 2025, the Company announced the publication of its 2024 Sustainability Report which highlights the
Company’s environmental, health & safety, governance and social performance during the year. In 2024, the Company
advanced key greenhouse gas emission reduction initiatives, fully conformed to the Global Industry Standard on
Tailings Management (GISTM) at Caserones' tailings facility, invested approximately $6.6 million in communities, and
had its second-best year on record in terms of Total Recordable Injury Frequency and All Injury Frequency.
• 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. At closing, Lundin Mining received cash consideration of $1,402.0 million
($1,314.6 million, net of cash disposed and transaction costs). The Company may also receive up to $150.0 million in
contingent cash consideration if certain metal price thresholds are met. The Company used a portion of the cash
proceeds to repay in full the $1,150.0 million outstanding balance of its term loan, previously maturing in 2027.

• 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 adjusted 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 ("NCIB"). 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. During 2025, the Company repurchased 15,088,180 shares for
$150.0 million in connection with the amended shareholder distribution policy.
• 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 general meeting of shareholders on May 8, 2025.
• 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 levied a fine of $3.3 million and ordered the continued closure of the
Alcaparrosa mine, based on four violations investigated. On September 7, 2025, the Company announced that it
received notice regarding the decision on the civil claim brought by the Chilean State Defense Council against Lundin
Mining’s subsidiary, Minera Ojos del Salado (“Ojos del Salado”), related to the sinkhole. The decision requires Ojos del
Salado to implement remediation activities on the impacted area and to implement water infrastructure projects to
strengthen rural potable water and wastewater systems in communities surrounding the mine. 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 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 year of $1,398.0 million was $462.2 million higher than the prior year
comparable period of $935.8 million. The increase was primarily due to higher realized copper and gold prices, lower
treatment charges, and higher sales volumes at Caserones partially offset by a non-cash long-term ore stockpile
inventory write-down at Chapada of $99.9 million ($65.9 million net of tax).
• Net earnings from continuing operations in the year of $1,417.7 million was higher than in the prior year comparable
period of $267.6 million primarily due to an increase in gross profit and a deferred tax recovery at Caserones of $517.0
million. The prior year period was also negatively impacted by non-cash impairments totalling $149.4 million.
• Adjusted earnings1 - continuing operations in the year of $687.9 million increased from $294.9 million as a result of
higher gross profit.
• Cash provided by operating activities related to continuing operations in the year of $1,207.9 million decreased from
the prior year comparable period of $1,311.4 million primarily due to a build of working capital of $414.0 million (2024
- working capital release of $221.7 million) partially offset by higher gross profit.
• Adjusted operating cash flow 1 - continuing operations in the year of $1,621.9 million was higher than in the prior year
comparable period of $1,089.9 million primarily due to an increase in gross profit.
• In the year, sustaining capital expenditures 2 from continuing operations of $477.8 million were lower than in the prior
year comparable period of $527.9 million primarily due to reduced deferred stripping at Candelaria.
1 This is a non-GAAP measure - see section "Non-GAAP and Other Performance Measures" of this MD&A for discussion.
11
• Expansionary capital expenditures1 for the year were $191.2 million, a decrease from $243.6 million in the prior year.
This decrease reflects that, following the formation of Vicuña in January 2025, the Company now accounts for only 50%
of Vicuña's capital expenditures. On a 100% basis, total Vicuña Project spending was $332.5 million.
• Net earnings from discontinued operations for the year of $235.8 million (2024 - net loss of $328.9 million) was
impacted by a non-cash reversal of impairment at Eagle and a gain on disposal of Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan.
Financial Position and Financing
• Cash and cash equivalents at continuing operations as at December 31, 2025 were $296.2 million, representing a
decrease of $61.3 million during the year. Cash provided by operating activities related to continuing operations in the
year of $1,207.9 million was used to fund $684.6 million investment in mineral properties, plant and equipment. The
Company received net cash proceeds of $1,314.6 million from the sale of the Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan operations
which were used to repay in full the $1,150.0 million outstanding balance of the Company's term loan and to repay
$170.0 million of amounts drawn on the RCF (net repayments of $300.0 million during the year). Other significant
financing activities comprised of $105.7 million of dividends paid to shareholders, $138.0 million of distributions to
non-controlling interests, and $153.7 million of share buybacks, of which $3.7 million were executed in 2024 and
settled in January 2025.
• As at December 31, 2025, the Company had net cash 1 of $77.4 million. As at February 19, 2026, the Company had cash
of over $500 million and net cash of over $200 million.

2 This is a non-GAAP measure - see the "Non-GAAP and Other Performance Measures" section of this MD&A for discussion.
The Company's annual results from continuing operations have been impacted by the acquisition of the Caserones mine in
July 2023, which contributed to an increase in metal production, net earnings and capital expenditures in 2024 as compared
to 2023. In July 2024, the Company exercised its option to acquire an additional 19% interest in Caserones from 51% to 70%
and reducing the non-controlling interest to 30%, contributing to an increase in net earnings attributable to the Company.
The year ended December 31, 2024 was impacted by non-cash impairments totalling $149.4 million relating to Suruca
deposit (Chapada) and Alcaparrosa mine (Ojos complex at Candelaria) and a $28.3 million non-cash partial reversal of a
previous long-term ore stockpile inventory write-down at Chapada.
During the year ended December 31, 2025 revenues benefitted by higher realized copper and gold prices. Gross profit was
also impacted by a $99.9 million ($65.9 million net of tax) non-cash write-down of long-term ore stockpile inventory at
Chapada. Net earnings benefitted from a deferred tax recovery of $517.0 million due to the recognition of an additional
deferred tax asset at Caserones for tax loss carryforwards which can be applied to future taxable income over the mine life.
Net earnings from discontinued operations during the year included the annual financial results of Eagle and financial
results of Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan up to April 15, 2025. Net earnings from discontinued operations benefitted from a
non-cash reversal of impairment at Eagle of $88.4 million and a gain on disposal of Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan of $106.3
million, partially offset by a non-cash impairment of Neves-Corvo of $65.7 million. During the year ended December 31,
2024, net earnings from discontinued operations included the annual financial results of Neves-Corvo, Zinkgruvan and Eagle
and the financial results were impacted by non-cash impairments at Neves-Corvo and Eagle totalling $396.1 million.

contingent consideration at December 31, 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.
In Q4 2025, results from continuing operations were impacted by the recognition of an additional deferred tax asset at
Caserones and the non-cash write-down of long-term ore stockpile inventory at Chapada. Q4 2025 results from
discontinued operations were impacted by an impairment reversal at Eagle mine.
In Q2 2025, the Company completed the sale of its Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan operations and recognized a gain on
disposal of $106.4 million. Results from these operations through to April 16, 2025 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, net loss
from discontinued operations was impacted by a further $65.7 million non-cash impairment at Neves-Corvo to re-align its
carrying value with subsequent cash consideration.
Following the formation of Vicuña in Q1 2025, its 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%.
An $800.0 million term loan was entered into in conjunction with the acquisition of a 51% interest in Caserones and was
subsequently increased by $350.0 million with funds used to acquire an additional 19% of Caserones in 2024. Higher debt
increased the Company's interest expense from acquisition through Q1 2025, reducing net earnings. The term loan was
repaid in full after the sale of Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan in April 2025, reducing interest expense and benefitting net
earnings in Q2 2025 and the subsequent quarters.
In Q2 2024, a fall of ground occurred in the lower ramp at the Eagle mine, resulting in reduced mining rates through the
remainder of 2024 until ramp rehabilitation was completed in Q1 2025, impacting net earnings from discontinued
operations throughout this period.
In Q4 2024, net earnings from continuing operations was reduced by non-cash impairments including $93.4 million related
to the Suruca gold deposit near Chapada and $55.9 million due to the continued closure of the Alcaparrosa mine within the
Candelaria mining complex. These amounts were partially offset by a $28.3 million non-cash partial reversal of a previous
long-term ore stockpile inventory write-down at Chapada.
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.

783.1
Revenue from continuing operations for the year of $4,053.2 million was an increase of $783.1 million over the prior year
comparable period of $3,270.1 million. The revenue increase was primarily due to an increase in realized copper and gold
prices and higher sales volumes at Caserones, partially offset by lower sales volumes at Candelaria.
18
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 as well as the cash proceeds which amount to approximately $433/oz for
gold and $4.32/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, 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.

Annual Financial Results
Production Costs
Production costs for continuing operations in the year were $1,948.1 million, an increase from $1,786.7 million in the prior
year comparable period. The increase was primarily attributable to higher sales volumes at Caserones and Chapada, and
increased mine costs at Candelaria resulting from higher labour costs following the successful acceleration of negotiations
with the labour agreement unions, culminating in new three-year agreements with all five unions. The terms of the
agreements expire between January and September 2029, replacing agreements expiring during 2026. As a result of these
renewals, production costs increased during the fourth quarter partially offset by reduced labour expenses at Caserones
and lower sales volumes at Candelaria. Production costs for discontinued operations in the year were $277.8 million.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization
Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense in the year increased by $44.7 million, compared to the prior year, and
includes $11.7 million related to the long-term ore stockpile write-down at Chapada, and was impacted by the decrease in
mineral reserves balance at Caserones.

Current income tax expense in the year was higher than 2024, primarily due to higher taxable income during the year. This
increase was partially offset by lower mining royalty at Candelaria due to the application of Chilean mining royalty tax limits.
Deferred income tax recovery in the year increased compared to 2024, primarily due to the recognition of additional
deferred tax assets at Caserones for tax loss carryforwards which can be applied to future taxable income and an increase in
deferred tax assets at Chapada for foreign exchange revaluation of non-monetary assets, which reduced income tax
expense at Chapada to a nominal amount. The deferred tax recovery was partially offset by the recognition of a deferred
tax liability related to outside basis differences on the Company’s investment in Vicuña and a prior year deferred tax
recovery related to tax inflation adjustments in Argentina that reversed a 2023 deferred tax liability.

Fourth Quarter Financial Results
Gross Profit
Gross profit from continuing operations for the quarter was $496.8 million, an increase from $254.4 million in the prior year
comparable period. The increase was primarily attributable to higher realized copper and gold prices and higher sold copper
volumes. Positive provisional pricing adjustments were recognized on sales from current and prior periods of $90.2 million
and $82.5 million, respectively. Gross profit was also impacted by a non-cash write-down at Chapada on the long-term ore
stockpile of $99.9 million ($65.9 million net of tax). Gross profit from discontinued operations for the quarter was $9.0
million (2024 - $26.1 million).
Net Earnings
Net earnings from continuing operations for the quarter was $912.3 million, compared to a net loss of $59.8 million in the
prior year comparable period. The increase was primarily attributable to higher gross profit and a deferred tax recovery of
$517.0 million at Caserones due to the recognition of additional deferred tax assets for tax loss carryforwards which can be
applied to future taxable income. Prior year impairments of Suruca and Alcaparrosa further contributed to the increase. Net
earnings from discontinued operations for the quarter was $107.3 million, compared to a net loss of $344.6 million in the
prior year comparable period, and was impacted by the impairment reversal at Eagle.
Cash Flow from Operations
Cash provided by operating activities for the quarter was $533.0 million, compared to the prior year comparable quarter of
$567.9 million. The decrease was largely due to a working capital build of $132.1 million in the quarter compared to $305.4
million working capital release in the prior year comparable period.

Production
Mining was focused in Phase 11 during the quarter with production continuing to benefit from strong throughput in the
mill, primarily due to softer ore feed. Production in the quarter was lower than in the preceding quarters in the year as a
result of maintenance work on the main ramp, which shifted mining to lower grade areas of Phase 11. During the year,
mining in the open pit was focused on Phase 11 with some contribution from higher grade areas of Phase 12.
Copper production in the quarter and year were lower than in the prior year comparable periods primarily due to planned
lower grades partially offset by higher throughput due to ore softness. Grades in the quarter and year were lower than in
the prior year comparable periods primarily due to contribution from higher grade benches of Phase 11 during the prior
year, consistent with the mine plan. Grades in the quarter and year were also impacted by lower contribution from the
underground mine.
Production Costs and Cash Cost
During the fourth quarter, early renewals of labour agreements were completed with five unions at Candelaria. The
agreements are each for three-year terms and expire in 2029, replacing agreements expiring during 2026. The proactive
early renewal of these agreements will contribute to labour stability and operational efficiency at Candelaria in the medium
term. As a result of these renewals and increased contractor costs for scheduled plant maintenance, production costs were
higher than in the prior year comparable quarter. These increases in production costs compared to the prior year
comparable period were partially offset by lower sales volumes and reduced maintenance expenses. Maintenance expenses
in the prior year comparable period included a $14.0 million write-down of inventory items used in repair and maintenance
of mineral property, plant and equipment. During the year, production costs increased compared to the prior year primarily
26
as a result of increased waste movement in the open pit that was expensed during the year, combined with the incremental
expense related to labour agreement renewals.
Annual cash cost per pound was within the most recent guidance range and was higher than in the prior year comparable
period primarily due to planned lower grades resulting in reduced production, combined with increased labour and
contractor expenses. Cash cost per pound in the quarter was also impacted by the incremental expense recognized in the
quarter for early labour agreement renewals. Increases in cash cost per pound in both the quarter and year as compared to
the prior year comparable periods were partially offset by increased by-product credits as a result of higher metal prices.
AISC per pound in the quarter was higher than in the prior year comparable period primarily due to increased cash cost per
pound and higher sustaining capital expenditures. Sustaining capital expenditures increased in the quarter compared to the
prior year comparable period primarily due to increased underground mine development and purchases of new mine
equipment. AISC per pound in the year was higher than in the prior year comparable period primarily due to increased cash
cost, partially offset by reduced sustaining capital expenditure.
In the year, approximately 51,000 oz of gold and 1,100,000 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 year.
Gross Profit and Net Earnings
Gross profit in the quarter and year increased from the prior year comparable periods primarily due to higher realized
copper prices. This was partially offset by reduced production and sales volumes as a result of planned lower grades and
increased production costs.
Net earnings in the quarter and year increased from the prior year comparable periods primarily due to improved gross
profit. Net earnings in the prior year were also impacted by a non-cash impairment of $55.9 million ($41.6 million net of
tax) due to the closure of the Alcaparrosa mine within the Candelaria complex.

Caserones (Chile)
Caserones is an open pit copper-molybdenum mine which produces high-quality copper concentrate, copper cathode and
molybdenum concentrate. Lundin Mining is the operator after acquiring a 70% interest in Minera Lumina Copper Chile
through two separate transactions, with JX Metals Corporation holding the remaining 30% interest. On July 13, 2023, Lundin
Mining acquired an initial 51% interest in Minera Lumina Copper Chile and in July 2024, Lundin Mining increased its
ownership to 70%. In 2025, the copper concentrator treated on approximately 33.4 mtpa. The solvent extraction-
electrowinning ("SX/EW") plant has a nominal capacity of 34.5 kilotonnes per annum ("ktpa").

Production
Caserones copper production in the quarter was the highest since its acquisition by the Company in mid-2023. During the
quarter, mining was concentrated in Phase 6 with some contribution from Phase 7. Copper concentrate production
benefitted from higher grades in Phases 6 and 7 in the second half of 2025, combined with higher recoveries in the quarter
as a result of Phase 6 ore quality. Copper production in the quarter was higher than the prior year comparable period
primarily due to higher grades and recoveries, and higher copper cathode production. These increases were partially offset
by lower throughput as a result of a scheduled maintenance shutdown in the quarter. Copper cathode production
benefitted from increased material placed on the dump leach in previous periods and molybdenum production was lower in
the quarter primarily due to reduced recoveries and grades.
Annual production for copper was at the top-end of the most recent production guidance range. Production in the year was
higher than the prior year comparable period due to higher throughput and recoveries, combined with increased cathode
production. Annual production for molybdenum was lower than in the prior year primarily due to lower grades and
recoveries.
28
Production Costs and Cash Cost
Production costs in the quarter were higher than in the prior year comparable period primarily due to increased copper
sales volumes, including a shipment of approximately 5,100 tonnes of contained payable copper scheduled for September
that was completed in October due to weather-related delays. Production costs in the year were higher than in the prior
year primarily due to increased sales volumes during the year. These volumes were impacted by two shipments totalling
approximately 20,000 tonnes of copper concentrate that were delayed from December 2024, and were instead completed
in Q1 2025. These were partially offset by reduced labour expenses following the insourcing of key maintenance and
operational support functions.
Annual cash cost per pound for the year was within the low-end of the most recent guidance range. Cash cost per pound in
the quarter and year were lower than in the prior year comparable periods primarily due to higher production, lower
treatment charges, and reduced labour expenses, partially offset by lower by-product credits. AISC per pound in the quarter
and year were lower than in the prior year comparable periods primarily due to reduced cash cost.
Gross Profit and Net Earnings
Gross profit in the quarter and year increased from the prior year comparable periods due to higher realized copper prices
and reduced labour costs. Gross profit in the quarter also benefitted from increased sales volumes.
Net earnings in the quarter and year include a deferred tax recovery of $517.0 million (Q4 2024 - $41.5 million) to recognize
deferred tax assets for tax loss carryforwards which can be applied to future taxable income.

Production
Mining during the quarter was primarily focused on ore from the South and North open pits, in line with the planned mine
sequence. Ore milled benefitted from improved operational efficiency in the crusher and processing plant, driven by the
Full Potential program which focuses on achieving sustainable operational efficiencies and financial savings. Copper
production in the quarter decreased compared to the prior year comparable period due to lower grades. Head grade
variances reflected changes in the pushback sequencing, with higher ore contribution from the South and North pits and
lower contribution from the higher-grade Southwest pit.
Annual copper and gold production were within the most recent production guidance ranges. Copper production in the
year increased slightly compared to the prior year, primarily driven by higher throughput and partially offset by lower
recoveries. Gold production for the quarter and year was lower than in the prior year comparable periods, primarily due to
reduced grades and recoveries.
Production Costs and Cash Cost
Production costs in the quarter increased from the prior year comparable period, primarily driven by higher costs related to
efforts on water management and unfavorable foreign exchange. These increases were partially offset by lower sales
volume. Production costs in the year were also higher than in the prior year, mainly due to increased sales volumes and
higher royalties, partially offset by favourable foreign exchange.
Cash cost per pound of $0.45 in the quarter was the lowest since Q4 2020. Cash costs for both the quarter and year
improved from the prior year comparable periods primarily due to higher by-product credits as a result of increased
realized gold prices. Annual cash cost was below the low end of the most recent guidance range. AISC per pound in the
30
quarter and year periods was lower than in the prior year comparable periods primarily due to lower cash cost per pound
and reduced sustaining capital expenditures as a result of lower expenditure on spares and equipment acquisition.
Gross Profit (Loss) and Net Earnings (Loss)
In the quarter, gross loss was $11.8 million, compared to a gross profit of $67.2 million from the prior year comparable
period. The decrease was due to a net realizable value write-down of $99.9 million ($65.9 million net of tax) of the long-
term ore stockpile inventory as a result of mine plan changes deprioritizing the timing of processing of stockpiles. This was
partially offset by higher realized copper and gold prices and reduced treatment and refining charges. Gross profit for the
year was in line with the prior year comparable period and the negative impact of the long-term ore stockpile inventory
write-down was offset primarily by increased realized copper and gold prices, lower treatment and refining charges and
higher sales volumes. In addition, gross profit for the quarter and year from the prior year comparable periods benefitted
from a $28.3 million non-cash partial reversal of a previously recorded long-term ore stockpile inventory write-down
Net loss for the quarter and net earnings for the year from prior year comparable periods were also impacted by a non-cash
impairment of $93.4 million ($61.7 million net of tax) of mineral properties relating to the Suruca gold deposit.

Production
Mining and processing activities continued at normal levels during the quarter following the completion of ramp
rehabilitation in Eagle East in the first quarter of the year. The lower production levels in the comparative quarter and year,
which resulted from the fall of ground in the lower ramp in Eagle East in Q2 2024, remained the primary driver of higher
nickel and copper production in the current quarter and year. Annual nickel production in 2025 was within the most recent
production guidance ranges, while annual copper production was below the low end of the most recent guidance range but
within the original guidance range.
Production Costs and Cash Cost
Production costs in the quarter and year were higher than in the prior year comparable periods due to increased nickel and
copper sales volumes. Production costs in the prior quarter and year excluded approximately $11.4 million and $36.1
million, respectively, of overhead costs that were recorded in Other Income and Expense as a result of the partial
suspension of underground mining operations.
Cash cost per pound in the quarter and year was lower than in the prior year comparable periods, primarily reflecting
higher throughput and improved recoveries, resulting in higher nickel production, as well as increased by-product credits
driven by higher copper sales volume and elevated realized copper price. Annual cash cost per pound for the year exceeded
the high end of the most recent production guidance range. AISC per pound in the quarter and year were lower than in the
prior year comparable periods in line with reduced cash cost per pound.
32
Gross Profit and Net Earnings
Gross profit in the quarter was higher than in the prior year comparable period primarily due to increased realized copper
prices and reduced depreciation expense. Gross profit in the year was higher than in the prior year primarily due to
increased nickel and copper sales volumes, lower depreciation expense and increased realized copper price, partially offset
by lower realized nickel price.
Net earnings were impacted by an impairment reversal of $88.4 million ($69.8 million net of tax) after assessing the fair
value of Eagle prior to reclassification as held for sale. The fair value was based on the consideration established in the
definitive agreement with Talon. An impairment charge of $104.9 million ($82.8 million net of tax) was previously recorded
for the Eagle mine at December 31, 2024 due to a decline in nickel prices and prolonged rehabilitation of the Eagle East
ramp.

2 Neves-Corvo 2025 results are to April 16, 2025.
Production
Neves-Corvo was sold on April 16, 2025. In 2025 through to the date of sale, copper production was lower than in the prior
year comparable period due to lower throughput, and zinc production increased due to higher throughput and grades.
Production Costs and Cash Cost
Production costs in 2025 through to the date of sale 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 Q1 2025 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 Q1 2025 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 Profit (Loss)
Gross profit in 2025 through to date of sale 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 were
impacted by a non-cash impairment charge of $66 million in Q1 2025 to recognize mining rights and mineral properties at
their estimated fair value, based on the cash proceeds received.

2 Zinkgruvan 2025 results are to April 16, 2025.
3 Lead sales volume in Q2 2025 was impacted by volume adjustments.
Production
Zinkgruvan was sold on April 16, 2025. In 2025 through to the date of sale, zinc and lead production were higher than in the
prior year comparable period due to higher throughput, grades and recoveries. Zinc production was positively impacted by
favourable mine sequencing and high grade stopes. Copper production was lower than in the prior year comparable period
primarily due to lower throughput and remained in line with the mine plan as zinc production was prioritized.
Production Costs and Cash Cost
Production costs in 2025 through to the date of sale were higher than in the prior year comparable period primarily due to
higher zinc and lead sales volumes. Cash cost per pound in Q1 2025 was lower than in the prior year comparable period
primarily due to increased zinc sales volume as well as higher by-product credits as a result of higher copper sales volume
and higher copper realized prices. AISC per pound in Q1 2025 was lower than in the prior year comparable period due to
due to lower cash cost per pound slightly offset by higher sustaining capital expenditures.
Gross Profit
Gross profit in 2025 through to the date of sale was higher than in the prior year comparable period primarily due to no
depreciation being taken on assets classified as held for sale, as well as higher realized zinc and copper prices, lower
treatment and refining charges and higher zinc, copper and lead sales volume.

Vicuña Project (Argentina and Chile)
Integrated Technical Study Results
The results of an integrated technical study were published on February 16, 2026 and highlighted the Vicuña Project as a
development project with the potential to rank among the top five copper, gold, and silver mines globally. Highlights from
the PEA are outlined below and more information is set out in the news release dated February 16, 2026.
The development of the Vicuña district is envisioned in a staged approach. Stage 1 encompasses a sulphide mill and the
Josemaria deposit, establishing an initial open pit mine and concentrator designed for future expansion to accelerate first
production and early cash flow. Stage 2 builds on this foundation by developing the Filo del Sol leachable oxides and a
corresponding SX/EW plant for copper, gold and silver recovery. Stage 3 represents the long-term maturation of the district
through expansion of the concentrator and development of the Filo del Sol sulphide deposit, enabling peak, sustained
production, positioning the Vicuña Project as a long-life, globally significant copper operation. Stage 3 also integrates key
district infrastructure, including a desalination plant and associated pipeline, and return concentrate slurry pipeline, to
support expansion of the district.
• Potential to be a top five copper, gold, and silver mine: Average annual production of 400,000 tonnes copper,
700,000 oz  gold and 22 million oz ("Moz") silver over the first 25 full years of operation.
• Peak production of +500 ktpa copper: Average production over a ten-year period of over 500,000 tonnes copper,
800,000 oz gold and 20 Moz silver or 800,000 tonnes copper equivalent (“CuEq”) 1.
• Multi-generational asset: Initial +70-year life of mine ("LOM"), producing approximately 22.3 million tonnes (“Mt”)
of copper, 37.2 Moz of gold and 763 Moz of silver.
• Significant free cash flow: Average annual free cash flow of $2.2 billion per year (after expansionary capital) during
the first 25 years.
• Leveraged to copper and gold: LOM revenue contribution of 60% copper, 32% gold and 8% silver.
• Capital intensity below $30,000/tonne CuEq: Stage 1 capital of $7.1 billion with an after-tax payback period of 8.4 2
years and an after-tax internal rate of return ("IRR") of 14.8%.
• Resource growth: The Updated Vicuña Mineral Resource grew significantly compared to the previous estimate 3.
◦ Contained copper 4 of 14 Mt Measured and Indicated (“M&I”) and 32 Mt Inferred. An increase of 12%
contained M&I copper and 28% Inferred copper.
◦ Contained gold4 of 36 Moz M&I and 61 Moz Inferred. An increase of 12% contained M&I gold and 26%
Inferred gold.
◦ Contained silver4 of 729 Moz M&I and 1,051 Moz Inferred. An increase of 11% M&I silver and 30%
Inferred silver.
• Base-case scenario: Net present value ("NPV8%") of $9.5 billion after-tax at $4.60/lb copper, $3,300/oz gold and
$40/oz silver.
◦ Stage 1 is clearly defined providing a blueprint for initial development, ongoing studies on Stages 2 and 3
are expected to deliver further optimization.
• At spot copper, gold and silver prices ($6.00/lb copper, $5,000/oz gold & $80/oz silver), the NPV8% increases to
$28.8 billion and the IRR to 25.5% with a payback of 5.4 years.
The results of the Study, including the Updated Vicuña Mineral Resource, will be detailed in an updated technical report
that will be filed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. These results supersede the “NI 43-101
Technical Report on the Vicuña Project, Argentina and Chile” with an effective date of April 15, 2025, including the Mineral
Resource estimate set out therein.
36
RIGI Application
During the quarter, Vicuña submitted an application to the Incentive Regime for Large Investments (RIGI) in Argentina for
the inclusion of the Vicuña Project under the Long-Term Strategic Export Projects designation (PEELP). Argentina’s RIGI
regime is designed to attract and accelerate large-scale investment through long-term fiscal stability and transparent
regulatory conditions.
RIGI offers regulatory stability, including lower corporate and dividend withholding tax rates, removal of export duties,
value added tax offsets and repatriation of revenues. The Vicuña Project is the first mining project to apply for the RIGI
PEELP, which is designed to support large scale, long-term investments into Argentina and provides longer benefit periods
(40 years vs 30 years) and accelerated timelines to repatriate revenues and export duty exemptions, as compared to the
regular RIGI regime.
Project Development
In 2025, parallel studies were advanced supporting a multi-phased development concept pertaining to the Josemaria and
Filo del Sol deposits resulting in an integrated technical study, the results of which were published on February 16, 2026.
These results, including the Updated Vicuña Mineral Resource estimate, will be detailed in an updated technical report that
will be filed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
The Josemaria Environmental Impact Assessment advanced through review by the San Juan authorities with a site visit
performed during the quarter.
Drilling activities at Filo del Sol advanced with 16,619 metres completed during the quarter, bringing the year-to-date total
to 65,611 metres.
During the year, the Company spent $167.2 million in capital expenditures compared to $243.6 million in 2024. Capital
expenditures included the project development activities noted above and were impacted by the formation of Vicuña on
January 15, 2025. From this date, the Company's expansionary capital expenditures include 50% of Vicuña's capital
expenditures compared to 100% funded for Josemaria prior to the formation of Vicuña.
The Company intends to continue with to work with its partner, BHP, and Vicuña on a work plan to advance the Vicuña
Project to production. Key activities and milestones include:
• Ongoing detailed engineering and design activities for Stage 1.
• Trade off studies and optimization of Stages 2 & 3.
• Initiate construction of the North Access Road.
• Further advancement of project readiness in preparation for early earthworks.
• Advancement of financing structure within Vicuña to fund construction.
• Approval of the Incentive Regime for Large Investments under the Long-Term Strategic Export Projects designation
(RIGI PEELP) application in Argentina.
• Receipt of the Project permit amendment.
The next phase for the Vicuña Project is detailed design and engineering. The technical team will focus on advancing
engineering in order to prepare procurement and other activities to support an efficient project start-up and mitigate risks
of increasing lead times and variable international logistics.
About 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, an independently managed joint operation which owns the Josemaria deposit in
Argentina and the Filo del Sol deposit in Argentina and Chile. BHP indirectly owns the remaining 50% interest in Vicuña.
37
Expansionary Projects
The Company has a number of brownfield low-capital intensity expansionary projects that are expected to contribute to
medium-term growth in its existing operating asset portfolio.
Candelaria Underground Expansion
The Candelaria underground expansion project is expected to increase underground throughput capacity to approximately
22,000 tonnes per day from prior levels of approximately 12,000 to 14,000 tonnes per day, targeting a medium-term
increase in annual copper production of approximately 14,000 tonnes of copper which adds roughly 10% to current
production levels. The opportunity includes phased insourcing of the Company's underground mining contract and an
increase in the number of active mining stopes. Candelaria’s 2026 copper and gold production guidance incorporates lower
underground mining rates in the first half of the year as the Company insources the underground mining contract. Internal
recruitment commenced in mid-2025 with blasting, loading and hauling activities insourced at the end of the year.
Insourcing of additional activities are expected to continue through 2026.
Projects are also ongoing to support the mine life extension under the Environmental Impact Assessment ("2040 EIA").
Caserones Cathode Plant Utilization
The Caserones cathode plant capacity is approximately 35,000 tonnes of copper cathode production per year, representing
an opportunity to increase production from prior levels through higher utilization rates.
Additional oxide material placed on the dump leach, together with improved leaching practices, increased copper cathode
production to 25,817 tonnes in 2025. As a result of these optimization efforts, annual copper cathode production is forecast
to increase to approximately 26,000 to 28,000 tonnes in 2026 through 2028, an improvement of 6,000–8,000 tonnes from
prior levels.
Chapada - Saúva Deposit
The Saúva deposit is approximately 15 kilometres from the Chapada mine and represents a near mine opportunity to add
approximately 10,000 to 15,000 tonnes of copper production per year and 35,000 to 45,000 ounces of gold production per
year. The project would include the installation of additional grinding capacity and higher grade ore from Saúva to offset
lower grade material currently being mined at Chapada.
An internal prefeasibility study was completed on Saúva phase 1 during the quarter. A sanctioning decision on the
installation of additional grinding capacity is expected in the second half of 2026, while detailed design and engineering
work will continue along with Saúva permitting. An updated Chapada technical report, including the Saúva project, is
expected to be released in the second half of 2026.
Exploration Update
In 2025, exploration activity focused on in-mine and near-mine targets at the Company's operations.
At Caserones, seven rigs drilled 10,329 metres during the quarter targeting high-grade copper breccias in the Caserones pit
and copper sulphides at Angelica. Exploration drilling also commenced at the Centauro target. In total, 18,908 metres were
drilled at Caserones during the year.
No exploration drilling was undertaken at Candelaria during the quarter. In total, 7,642 metres were drilled at Candelaria
during the year focusing on Candelaria Norte, Candelaria South (Mariana) and La Portuguesa.
The annual drilling program at Chapada was completed during the quarter with 12,507 metres drilled during the year,
primarily in the Saúva resource area.

Cash provided by operating activities related to continuing operations during the year was $103.5 million lower than in the
prior year. The decrease was primarily due to working capital movements including increased trade receivables at
Candelaria and Caserones, partially offset by higher gross profit. Adjusted operating cash flow 1 - continuing operations
during the year was higher than in the prior year after adjusting for the significant build of working capital.
The sale of the Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan operations in April 2025 contributed $1.3 billion in net proceeds to cash
provided by investing activities related to continuing operations. In addition, capital expenditures at continuing operations
were $101.5 million lower than in the prior year. Lower sustaining capital expenditures were primarily due to reduced
deferred stripping at Candelaria and lower expansionary capital expenditures were primarily due to the formation of Vicuña
on January 15, 2025. From this date, the Company's expansionary capital expenditures include 50% of Vicuña's capital
expenditures. A summary of capital expenditures on a cash basis is outlined below.

Measures" section of this MD&A for discussion.
b Discontinued operations include Eagle, and Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan financial results to April 16, 2025.
Cash used in financing activities related to continuing operations increased from the prior year primarily due to the
repayment in full of the $1,150.0 million outstanding balance of the Company's term loan and repayment of $170.0 million
of amounts drawn on the RCF with the net cash proceeds from the sale of Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan. These increases
were partially offset by lower interest and dividends paid. The Company repurchased shares under its NCIB totalling $153.7
million in the year compared to $24.4 million during 2024.
Free cash flow from operations 1 - continuing operations decreased from the prior year primarily due to a working capital
build, partially offset by reduced sustaining capital expenditures. Free cash flow1 - continuing operations was consistent
with the prior year due to lower expansionary capital expenditures at Vicuña offset by the same factors impacting free cash
flow from operations - continuing operations.

The Company continues to expect to be able to fund all its contractual commitments with its operating cash flow, cash on
hand and available capital resources.
The Company was in a net cash position as at December 31, 2025 of $77.4 million compared to a net debt position of
$1,332.4 million at the prior year end primarily due to net cash proceeds from the sale of the Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan
operations, which were used to repay in full the $1,150.0 million outstanding balance of the Company's term loan and to
repay $170.0 million of amounts drawn on the RCF.
During the year, 15,088,180 shares were purchased under the Company's NCIB program for $150.0 million ( 2024 -
2,815,200 for $24.4 million).
Commodity prices, primarily copper and gold, are key performance drivers and fluctuations in the prices of these
commodities can have a dramatic effect on the results of operations. Prices can fluctuate widely and are affected by
numerous factors beyond the Company’s control. The prices of metals are influenced by supply and demand, exchange
rates, interest rates and interest rate expectations, inflation or deflation and expectations with respect to inflation or
deflation, speculative activities, changes in global economies, and geopolitical, social and other factors. The supply of
metals consists of a combination of new mine production, recycling and existing stocks held by governments, producers and
consumers. The Company economically hedges certain of its operating currencies as well as metal prices and certain input
commodities (refer to "Financial Instruments" section below).
Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies
The Company has contractual obligations and capital commitments as described in Note 27 “Commitments and
contingencies” in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. From time to
time, the Company may also be involved in legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business.
Significant changes to commitments and contingencies, from those reported at December 31, 2024, are described below:
In respect of the 2017 taxation year, the Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA") issued a reassessment denying the Company’s
2007 election to increase the tax cost of its investment in a subsidiary. The reassessment proposes an increase in taxable
income of approximately $456 million, which would result in additional income taxes payable of approximately $114.1
million and interest of approximately $46.2 million. The Company filed a Notice of Objection on January 28, 2026 and will
vigorously and expeditiously defend its tax filing position through CRA's Appeals Division and, if required, court proceedings.
No provision has been recognized as the Company believes its filing position is in compliance with Canadian tax law.

Capital Resources
On February 16, 2026, the Company announced the results of an integrated technical study on the Vicuña Project, including
estimated capital and operating costs. For Stage 1 of the Vicuña Project, the Study contemplates a 40-month capital
development and construction timeline that includes a 6-month commissioning period. Total initial capital cost for Stage 1
is estimated at $7.1 billion and $18.1 billion for stages 1-3. LOM sustaining capital is estimated at $30.3 billion over 70 years
for all stages, including closure costs. The Study outlines a comprehensive development plan for Stage 1, encompassing
construction of the concentrator and development of the Josemaria mine. The capital estimates and operating cost
estimates are established from first principles. For Stage 1, estimates were completed to a class 3, contingency has been
applied to the estimate on an area and discipline basis, variances ranged from -15% to +20% depending on the area and
level of quotation. The Stages 2 and 3 estimate are completed to a class 5 and variances range from -35% to +50%.
On February 12, 2026, the Company announced the receipt of commitments from 17 lenders to upsize and amend its RCF,
increasing the total committed amount from $1.75 billion to $4.5 billion with the Company initially having access to $2.25
billion. Upon satisfaction of certain conditions, the RCF will expand to $3.5 billion, and upon sanctioning Stage 1 of the
Vicuña Project, will increase to the full $4.5 billion. In addition, the maturity date has been extended to 2031. Once
amended, the RCF will bear interest on a sliding scale of adjusted term SOFR plus a margin of 1.45% to 2.50%.
As at December 31, 2025, the Company has an RCF of $1,750.0 million with $60.0 million outstanding (December 31, 2024 -
$270.0 million). The RCF matures in April 2029 and 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 1.40% to 2.55%,
depending on the Company’s net leverage ratio and progress against sustainability performance targets. In March 2025, the
security previously held over certain assets in the USA was removed from the RCF. The facility is subject to customary
covenants.
In April 2025, the Company repaid in full the $1,150.0 million outstanding balance of the term loan and $170.0 million of
amounts drawn on the RCF using the cash proceeds from the sale of the Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan operations. As a result
of the repayment, the term loan has been extinguished and cannot be redrawn. In April 2025, the Company also repaid the
$102.7 million (€95.0 million) outstanding balance of commercial paper programs at Neves-Corvo immediately prior to its
sale.
As at December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants.
42
As at December 31, 2025, certain subsidiaries of the Company had outstanding unsecured term loans totalling $180.8
million (December 31, 2024 - $245.9 million) which accrue interest at rates ranging from 4.30% to 5.19% per annum with
interest payable upon their maturities, ranging from January to March 2026.
The development of the Vicuña Project requires significant capital commitments from the Company and additional funding,
beyond debt from the Company's upsized RCF, may be required to advance the projects to completion.
43
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 year, the Company did not enter into any new derivative contracts. At December 31, 2025, existing derivative
contracts consist of foreign currency option contracts as well as commodity option contracts. The option contracts consist
of put and call contracts in a collar structure with all contracts maturing in 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.
For a detailed discussion of the Company’s financial instruments, refer to Note 26 "Financial Instruments" in the Company’s
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
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
priced revenues as at December 31, 2025.

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.
45
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, gold, and
molybdenum) adding back treatment and refining charges,
cash effects of gold, silver and copper streams, recognition
of deferred revenue from the allocation of upfront
streaming proceeds, 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,
contingent consideration 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 partial
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 earnings (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).

Non-GAAP financial
measure or ratio
Definition
Most directly
comparable IFRS
measure
Why management uses the
measure and why it is useful to
investors
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 cash (debt)
Net cash (debt) is defined as total debt excluding deferred
financing fees, less cash and cash equivalents.
During the fourth quarter of 2025, management updated
the calculation of net cash (debt) to exclude lease
liabilities. Management believes this revised definition
provides a more meaningful measure of the Company's
leverage and better reflects how management evaluates its
capital structure and liquidity. Prior-period amounts have
been conformed to the current definition to ensure
comparability across periods.
Debt, current
portion of debt,
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.

Other Information and Advisories
Related Party Transactions
The Company enters into related party transactions that are in the normal course of business and on an arm’s length basis.
Related party disclosures can be found in Note 29 “Related Party Transactions” of the Company’s consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Changes in Accounting Policies
The Company’s consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in compliance with IFRS.
The Company’s material accounting policies, including any changes in accounting policies, are described in Note 2 ‘Basis of
Presentation and Summary of Material Accounting Policies’ of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2025.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed
at each period end. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in
any future periods affected.
For further information on the Company’s significant accounting estimates and judgements, refer to Note 2 “Basis of
Presentation and Summary of Material Accounting Policies” of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2025.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance that all material information
related to the Company is identified and communicated on a timely basis. Management of the Company, under the
supervision of the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, is
responsible for the design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures. Management has, under the supervision of
the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the
effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that they were effective as at
December 31, 2025.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting (“ICFR”)
Management of the Company, under the supervision of the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate ICFR. The Company’s ICFR is
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. However, due to inherent limitations ICFR may not prevent or
detect all misstatements and fraud. Management will continue to monitor the effectiveness of its ICFR and may make
modifications from time to time as considered necessary.
Management assesses the effectiveness of the Company’s ICFR using the Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013
Framework) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Management,
under the supervision of the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of ICFR and concluded that it was effective as at December 31, 2025.
There have been no changes in the Company’s ICFR during the three months ended December 31, 2025 that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s ICFR.
56
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s business activities are subject to a variety and wide range of inherent risks and uncertainties. Any of these
risks could have an adverse effect on the Company, its business and prospects, and could cause actual outcomes and results
to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements relating to the Company.
The development of the Vicuña Project requires significant capital commitments from the Company, and additional funding,
beyond debt, may be required to advance the project to completion. Such additional funding may take the form of a
partnership, joint arrangement, royalty, stream or other arrangement (or a combination thereof) for the Vicuña Project, any
of which would dilute the Company’s existing interest in the Vicuña Project. The Company may also be required or elect to
pursue equity financing, which could have a dilutive effect on existing security holders if shares, options, warrants or other
convertible securities are issued.
The Company’s ability to obtain additional financing for the Vicuña Project in the future will depend, in part, on prevailing
capital market conditions and the Company’s financial performance. Failure to secure adequate financing on a timely basis
may cause the Company to postpone, abandon, reduce or terminate its development activities in respect of the Vicuña
Project and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and
price of common shares.
In June 2024, under President Javier Milei, the Argentine Congress passed the “Bases Law” and the Tax Measures Law
effecting a series of blanket reforms, and the RIGI incentive regime for large investments, bringing significant implications
across industries. If the Vicuña Project is accepted into the RIGI framework, significant economic benefits are expected to
be provided. If, however, the Vicuña Project is not accepted into the RIGI framework  in a timely manner or at all, or if the
RIGI framework does not work as intended or anticipated, it may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s
operations and financial conditions, strategic vision, growth opportunities, and accuracy of cost estimates and economic
analysis of the Vicuña Project, as well as material adverse tax effects.
In addition, the Company’s exploration, acquisition, development and operational activities generally require significant
investment of resources and capital. The Company allocates such resources and capital to support business objectives, and
the availability of required resources and capital is subject to market conditions and the Company’s financial position.
The Company has limited financial resources and there is no assurance that sufficient additional funding or financing will be
available to the Company or its direct and indirect subsidiaries on acceptable terms, or at all, for further exploration or
development of its properties, including the development of the Vicuña Project, or to fulfill its obligations under any
applicable agreements.
The Company may incur substantial debt from time to time to finance working capital, capital expenditures, investments or
acquisitions or for other purposes. If the Company does so, the risks related to the Company’s indebtedness could intensify,
including, among other things: substantial interest and capital payments; increased difficulty in satisfying existing debt
obligations; limitations on the ability to obtain additional financing, or imposed requirements to make non-strategic
divestitures; imposed hedging requirements; explicit or implicit restrictions on the Company’s cash flows for capital
investment, dividends or distributions, opportunistic acquisitions and other business needs; increased vulnerability to
general adverse economic and industry conditions; interest rate risk exposure as borrowings may be at variable rates of
interest; decreased flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in the industry in which it competes; reduced
competitiveness as compared to less leveraged competitors; and increased cost of additional borrowing.
The terms of the revolving credit facility require the Company to satisfy various affirmative and negative covenants and to
meet certain financial ratios and tests. These covenants limit, among other things, the Company’s ability to incur further
indebtedness if doing so would cause it to fail to meet certain financial covenants, create certain liens on assets or engage
in certain types of transactions. A failure to comply with these covenants, including a failure to meet the financial tests or
ratios, would likely result in an event of default under the revolving credit facility and would allow the lenders to restrict
future loans or accelerate the debt, which could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition
and results of operations, its ability to meet payment obligations under its debt and the price of its common shares. As at
December 31, 2025, the Company is in compliance with its debt covenants.
The Company may issue additional securities to raise funds, to pay for acquisitions or for other reasons. The Company
cannot predict the size of future issuances of securities or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of securities will
57
have on the market price of common shares. Sales or issuances of substantial numbers of common shares, or the
expectation that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices of the Company’s common shares. In
connection with any issuance of common shares, investors will suffer dilution to their voting power and the Company may
experience dilution in its earnings per share.
The Company is exposed to various counterparty risks including, among others: financial institutions that hold the
Company’s cash; companies that have payables to the Company, including concentrate customers; the Company’s
insurance providers; counterparties to the Company's derivative contracts; the Company’s lenders and other banking
counterparties; companies that have received deposits from the Company for the future delivery of equipment; and third
parties that have agreed to indemnify the Company upon the occurrence of certain events. The Company is also subject to
customer counterparty and credit risks and concentration risk associated with trade receivables.
The Company maintains relationships with various banking partners for its operating activities in the jurisdictions in which
the Company operates. The Company’s access to funds under its credit facilities or other debt arrangements is dependent
on the ability of the financial institutions that are counterparties to the facilities to meet their funding commitments.
Default by financial institutions could require the Company to take measures to conserve cash until the markets stabilize or
until alternative credit or other funding arrangements for the Company’s business needs can be obtained.
If market prices for metals fall below the Company’s full production costs and remain at such levels for any sustained period
of time, the Company may experience losses and may decide to discontinue mining operations or development of a project
at one or more of its properties. If the prices drop significantly, the economic prospects of the mines and projects in which
the Company has an interest could be significantly reduced or rendered uneconomic, in which case the Company may need
to restate its Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates. Low metal prices will affect the Company’s liquidity, and if
they persist for an extended period of time, the Company may have to look for other sources of cash flow to maintain
liquidity until metal prices recover. A sustained and material impact on the Company’s liquidity may also impact the
Company’s ability to comply with financial covenants under its credit facilities.
In Brazil, regulatory requirements for tailings facility management and reporting have steadily increased in the past several
years and have required the Chapada Mine to continue to adapt its practices and procedures to ensure legal and regulatory
compliance. On October 17, 2025 the National Mining Agency in Brazil (“ANM”) published Resolution No. 220/2025
(“ANM-220”), establishing new rules applicable to mining dams within the scope of ANM which come into effect in 2027.
Such rules include restrictions on the activities in tailings dam self-rescue zones (“ZAS”) and restrictions on the workers
allowed in the ZAS to those that are strictly necessary for the performance of select activities related to tailings dams. The
Company is currently evaluating the potential impacts of ANM-220 on its Chapada operations, including studies on
potential initiatives for compliance with ANM-220. State and federal laws and regulations, including ANM-220 could
significantly increase the costs associated with the Company’s operations. Non-compliance with applicable laws, regulations
and permitting requirements (including allegations of such) may result in civil litigation, administrative or criminal sanctions
or regulatory enforcement actions, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease
or be curtailed or causing the withdrawal of mining licenses, and the imposition of fines, corrective measures requiring
material capital expenditure or remedial action resulting in materially increased costs of compliance, reputational damage
and potentially impaired ability to secure future approvals and permits.
In certain jurisdictions in which the Company operates, there are certain restrictions on the ownership of land by foreign
beneficial owners. For example, in Brazil, there are limitations on the amount of rural land that can be held by foreign
beneficial owners and these restrictions apply at both the individual and aggregate level across all foreign beneficial owners
on a municipality-by-municipality basis. Any challenges, disputes, or termination of any one or more of the Company’s
mining, exploration or other concessions, property holdings or titles could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
financial condition or results of operations.
In respect of the 2017 taxation year, the CRA issued a reassessment denying the Company’s 2007 election to increase the
tax cost of its investment in a subsidiary. The reassessment proposes an increase in taxable income of approximately $456
million, which would result in additional income taxes payable of approximately $114.1 million and interest of
approximately $46.2 million. The Company filed a Notice of Objection on January 28, 2026 and will vigorously and
expeditiously defend its tax filing position through CRA's Appeals Division and, if required, court proceedings.

General Information (ESRS2)
The G eneral Information section outlines the principles that guide Lundin Mining Corporation’s sustainability disclosure and provides an overview of the sustainability governance, strategy and business
model, stakeholder engagement and the material sustainability topics identified in the Double Materiality Assessment (“DMA”). It also includes a summary of the subsequent topical chapters and a
European Sustainability Reporting Standards (“ESRS”) content index for this Sustainability Statement.
Unless otherwise stated, all references to “$” are to United States dollars. “LMC”, “Lundin Mining”, the “Company”, “we” or “our” refer to Lundin Mining Corporation and/or its subsidiaries, as well as
joint operations.
Basis for preparation
The Sustainability Statement has been compiled according to the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. This approach to disclosure requirements is grounded in the following principles:
- Materiality: Ensuring focus on the most relevant issues
- Stakeholder inclusiveness: Engaging with stakeholders to understand their concerns
- Accuracy: Providing precise and reliable information
- Clarity: Presenting data in an understandable manner
- Reliability: Ensuring the data is verifiable and trustworthy
Reporting Period and Framework
- Reporting Period: January 1, 2025 – December 31, 2025. All information in this Statement is as of December 31, 2025 unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise suggests.
- Reporting Framework: The Swedish Annual Accounts Act (1995:1554) Chapter 6, sections 12a-12e and Chapter 7, sections 31a + 31c-e as amended by adoption of the Corporate Sustainability
Reporting Directive (“CSRD”) and EU Taxonomy under law 2024:347”. The Global Reporting Initiative (“GRI”) is used to complement ESRS. Specifically, water withdrawals (GRI 303-3:2018), water
discharges (GRI 303-4:2018), community grievances (GRI 14.10.4), community investments (GRI 14.9.2), and direct economic value generated and distributed ("EVGD") (GRI 201-1:2016), are
reported with reference to related GRI indicators. Lastly, the Company defined the air pollution metric with its own criteria considering sites operational and regulatory context.
- The Sustainability Statement has been reviewed by LMC’s Executive Team (“ET”) and Senior Leadership Team (“SLT”);  and reviewed and approved by LMC’s Board of Directors (“Board”). In addition,
the Sustainability Statement has been subject to external limited assurance by the Öhrlings PricewaterhouseCoopers AB (“PwC”). Please refer to the limited assurance opinion from PwC in
Appendix D.
In accordance with the principle of double materiality, this Sustainability Statement reports on sustainability matters that are material either from an impact perspective and/or from a financial
perspective, or both. The identification and assessment of these matters require the application of judgment, including assumptions and estimates. As a result, the outcomes of the materiality
assessment may change over time and may not be directly comparable with those of other companies. The use and understanding of “material” and “materiality” in this context is specific to
sustainability reporting and does not necessarily correspond to the concept of materiality used in financial reporting and reporting under applicable securities rules.
62
Consolidation
Lundin Mining has published an annual Sustainability Report since 2010 under reporting frameworks other than ESRS. This report covering 2025 has been renamed the “2025 Sustainability Statement” or
the “Sustainability Statement” and has been prepared under the ESRS reporting framework, on a consolidated basis, and consistent with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2025, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“Consolidated Financial Statements”).
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 an independently
managed 50/50 joint arrangement, Vicuña Corp (“Vicuña”). Vicuña holds the Josemaria deposit in Argentina and the Filo del Sol deposit in Argentina and Chile (collectively, the “Vicuña Project”). Vicuña
is an independently managed joint operation (“Joint Operation”) and material quantitative metrics for Vicuña are reported at 50% share for the period from January 15, 2025 to December 31, 2025.
On April 16, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its interests in the Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan mines located in Portugal and Sweden, respectively. On January 9, 2026, the Company completed
the sale of its interest in the Eagle mine and Humboldt mill (“Eagle”), both located in the United States of America ("USA"). With the exception of workforce characteristics metrics in the Own Workforce
section, where Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan have not been included; the sustainability metrics from operations of these three mines are reported as discontinued operations in the Company’s
Sustainability Statement as follows, unless otherwise noted: 
- Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan: Period from January 1, 2025 to April 16, 2025
- Eagle: Period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025 
Value chain reporting
Lundin Mining operations were primarily focused on producing copper and gold in Brazil and Chile, and nickel in the USA in 2025. The Vicuña Project is a development asset and an independently
managed joint operation located in Argentina and Chile. Upstream in the value chain, the Company sources machinery, parts, equipment, supplies, reagents and services from large national in-country
suppliers in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates and multinational suppliers outside of such jurisdictions. It also sources services and supplies, from local businesses wherever possible
according to its local procurement programs.
Copper concentrates produced at the Company’s operations are shipped to destinations in Europe and Asia, including Japan, South Korea and China. The copper concentrates and cathodes are sold
both through long-term contracts and on a spot market basis.
Demand for copper can be categorized into three main sectors: electrical networks, consumer goods, and construction, with about a quarter of copper demand allocated to these industries. For high-
gold copper concentrates, the principal markets are in Europe and Japan. The remaining demand is divided between the automotive and transportation sectors and industrial machinery. As the world
shifts toward a more sustainable future, copper plays a crucial role in green technologies. Copper’s conductivity is vital in the production of solar panels, wind turbines, energy storage systems, and
electric vehicles, all of which are central to reducing global carbon emissions. Additionally, copper enhances the efficiency of electric motors and is critical for the transmission and distribution of
electricity, further supporting the global push for carbon neutrality. As demand for renewable energy solutions and electric mobility grows, copper’s role in enabling clean energy infrastructure and
accelerating the decarbonisation of industries is expected to become even more pivotal. In addition, copper plays a critical role in the infrastructure of data centers, which are essential for modern
computing, AI technologies and digital services. The rapid expansion of AI technologies is significantly increasing the demand for data centers, which in turn is driving the demand for copper.
The Sustainability Statement discloses material information on impacts, risks and opportunities (“IROs”) from own operations, downstream and upstream value chains in alignment with the outcome of
our DMA . As such, most of the information in the Sustainability Statement relates to our own operations and quantitative metrics reflect the consolidation boundaries defined, current data
availability and internal reporting systems. Our material IROs within the value chain have been identified and these are discussed in greater detail in the Climate Change and Own Workforce sections.

and Retrieval + ("SEDAR+") in Canada and on Börsinformation in Sweden.
63
Omissions and exemptions
The Company has not opted to omit any information corresponding to intellectual property, know-how or the results of innovation. In addition, LMC has not made any exemptions regarding impending
developments or ongoing negotiations.
In alignment with the phase-in provisions of the EU’s “quick fix” delegated act, the following omissions and modifications have been used in the Sustainability Statement:
- Omitting the disclosure of anticipated financial effects related to environmental topics
- Omitting metrics under Own Workforce (ESRS S1): characteristics of non-employees (except where material)
- Biodiversity and Ecosystems (ESRS E4) are presented as a summary
- Affected Communities (ESRS S3) are presented as a summary
Specific circumstances
Detailed information regarding our nature of ownership, legal form and financial and operational results in the Consolidated Financial Statements and corresponding Management’s Discussion and
Analysis (“MD&A”), and the Management Information Circular  for the annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders to be held May 7, 2026 (“MIC”) 1.
Unless otherwise stated, our definition of “short‑term” aligns with the Consolidated Financial Statements and refers to a period of up to one year; medium‑term refers to a period of one to five years; and
“long‑term” refers to a time horizon exceeding five years.
For disclosures in relation to specific circumstances, metrics estimations in the value chain, sources of estimation, outcome uncertainty, and changes in preparation or presentation of sustainability
information, refer to Metrics methodologies and assumptions of each section.
Estimations and uncertainties
Reasonable estimations, assumptions, approximations, and judgments applied to quantitative metrics followed guidance from relevant local regulations, standards, frameworks used as well as site-
specific methodologies and judgment. Where applicable, these disclosures are provided in the specific topic chapter and include the basis for the preparation uncertainties, level of accuracy and
planned actions to improve accuracy in the future. Estimates primarily apply to greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions, water, resource inflows and circular economy and biodiversity metrics where
assumptions were applied. Scope 3 GHG emissions are subject to inherent estimation uncertainty due to the use of secondary data (for example emission factors), primary data variability in supplier
and activity information across the value chain, and the need for methodological choices and significant judgments (e.g., category boundaries, allocation rules, and use of proxies); these factors may
affect the completeness and accuracy of reported Scope 3 GHG emissions. Additional details on the calculation methodologies and assumptions are addressed in the Climate Change section.
Certain information contained or incorporated by reference in this 2025 Sustainability Statement, including projects, plans, or future financial or operating performance, constitutes “forward-looking
statements” and/or “forward-looking information” (collectively, “forward-looking information”) within the meaning of applicable securities laws. All such forward-looking information made in this
statement are qualified by the Cautionary Statement found in the Appendix C. Forward-looking information is based upon various estimates and assumptions and known and unknown factors could
cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking information and undue reliance should not be placed on such information, including future actions and expected
developments for metrics have a degree of uncertainty and are subject to change in future Sustainability Statements.

Strategy, business model and value chain
Ensuring the resilience and agility of our business – Strategy
Lundin Mining is a global base metals producer, evolving from its early growth phases through strategic acquisitions and divestments. Our purpose is to mine responsibly to contribute to a more
sustainable world, acknowledging that the metals we produce—such as copper— are fundamental for the global energy transition and sustainable technological development.
Lundin Mining serves the global market with high-quality base metals, operating a portfolio of long-life assets across several jurisdictions focused on the Americas. The Company’s market offering is
built on operational excellence and disciplined growth, involving continuous adaptation of technology to improve recovery rates and reduce environmental impact.
Lundin Mining manages a broad supply chain, purchasing equipment, components, and services necessary for large-scale mining operations. For critical inputs, such as those related to water
management and tailings facilities, Lundin Mining is dependent on specialized suppliers and engineering experts. The Company expects suppliers, contractors, and business partners to adhere to the
principles of its Responsible Mining Policy, which includes having emergency response plans to manage operational disruptions effectively.

For critical suppliers and contractors, compliance and continuity are reviewed through regular audits and performance meetings.
65
Lundin Mining’s commitment to sustainability informs decisions and necessitates clear visibility of environmental and human rights risks in our operations and value chain. The Company follows a risk-
based approach to due diligence, meaning that due diligence is conducted as part of key processes to identify and manage risks of adverse environmental and human rights impacts. The due diligence
process builds on the guidance provided by the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development  ("OECD") Guidelines for
Multinational Enterprises. Key processes in which due diligence is integrated include procurement, occupational health and safety, environmental management and sales.
We are committed to responsible resource development that creates enduring value for our shareholders, employees, communities, and other stakeholders. Our approach to sustainability balances
environmental, social, and economic considerations, and supports the delivery of our corporate strategy.
Throughout 2025, we continued to integrate sustainability planning and initiatives into Lundin Mining’s business cycle and annual plans – these include key performance objectives tracked annually, as
well as a medium-term target for Climate Change to address material IROs. The results of the DMA will be used to review and refine the integration of this sustainability framework going forward.

procedures include covered storage, truck washes and sweeper trucks to reduce the potential for the offsite emission of dust. Concentrates are sold under multi-year sales contracts as well as on the
spot markets to a variety of smelter customers in Europe, Asia and the Americas. The end-users of our commodities are global and support the development of modern infrastructure and electrification.
Responsible and sustainable mining
Lundin Mining’s Responsible Mining Policy ("RMP") shapes its approach to responsible and sustainable mining. The Company is committed to mining practices that promote a more sustainable world,
guided by the Company’s values: Respect, Courage, Excellence, and Momentum. These values guide our decisions, shape our relationships, and reflect our commitment to doing what is right for our
people, communities and future generations. This approach ensures that health, safety, environmental concerns, workforce, and community issues are considered at every stage of the mining life cycle.
Additionally, it covers important areas like human rights, indigenous rights, climate change and greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions, water, air quality, biodiversity, tailings management, crisis
management, and emergency preparedness.
Current and expected benefits for customers, investors and other stakeholders
Lundin Mining’s mission is to responsibly mine base metals vital to society, creating meaningful value for its stakeholders.  Lundin Mining aims to achieve this mission through executing its strategy of
operating, upgrading and growing a base metals portfolio with a focus on copper that provides leading returns for stakeholders through the mining cycle. For more information on stakeholder benefits,
please refer to the Affected Communities section.
Interests and views of stakeholders
Lundin Mining applies a structured and consistent approach to stakeholder engagement grounded in transparency, accountability and ongoing dialogue. The objective of this approach is to
systematically identify, understand and respond to the interests and concerns of stakeholders, including emerging sustainability-related IROs associated with the Company’s operations. Engagement
activities are governed by the Responsible Mining Policy, the Responsible Mining Management System (“RMMS”) and the Social Performance Standard, which together define minimum requirements,
roles and processes for stakeholder engagement across the organization.
68
The effectiveness of engagement is monitored through both qualitative and quantitative mechanisms. These include the Social License to Operate (“SLO”) Index (“Local Voices”), which provides site-
level insights into community trust, acceptance and priority concerns, as well as reviews of grievance management processes and engagement outcomes. Information derived from these mechanisms
is used to assess the quality of engagement and inform operational and management responses.
Operating sites apply a formal and dynamic stakeholder mapping process at least annually to identify and prioritize stakeholders within their direct and indirect areas of influence, as well as
stakeholders who may be affected by, or have an interest in, Lundin Mining’s activities. Engagement occurs on a recurring basis—monthly, quarterly, bi-annually or annually—depending on stakeholder
group, context and risk profile, and on an ad-hoc basis when circumstances require. Insights from stakeholder engagement activities are consolidated and communicated to management, the Safety,
Sustainability and Technical Committee of the Board, and the Board itself, to inform decision-making related to sustainability-related IROs. Information on engagement processes and stakeholder
perspectives is used as an input to the identification of material sustainability topics and the ongoing refinement of the Company’s management approach. Additional detail on site-specific engagement
activities is provided in the Own Workforce (ESRS S1) and Affected Communities (ESRS S3) sections of this Sustainability Statement.
Stakeholders can access the Sustainability Statement, Consolidated Financial Statements, MD&A, MIC, regulatory filings and news releases on our website.
The following table provides an overview of the stakeholder groups we engaged with in 2025 and the types and frequency of engagement. Through continuous engagement with key stakeholders, LMC

Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model 
LMC’s Sustainability Statement is based on the DMA methodology as defined by the CSRD. A summary IRO table is presented in this section  which lists the material topics of that were identified based
on their impact, risks, and/or opportunities. 
Each material topic is also presented in the relevant section of the Sustainability Statement with additional information. Also, detailed information on how the identified IROs are addressed is provided in
their respective sections. For information about applicable ESRS Disclosure Requirements, based on LMC’s material IROs, refer to Appendix A - ESRS Content Index.
Description of the processes to identify and assess material impacts, risks and opportunities
In preparation for compliance with the ESRS, the Company conducted a DMA which was subsequently refined in 2025 following restructuring of the Company’s portfolio of assets. The refinement was
led by a dedicated internal sustainability reporting team, which started by updating the Company’s business context, countries of operations, value chain analysis and integrated inputs from stakeholder
engagement to ensure completeness. 
70
Topic specific considerations in identifying and assessing IROs
As part of the DMA and expert interviews, Lundin Mining applied topic-specific screening to identify and assess IROs, informed by the Enterprise Risk Management (“ERM”), Environmental Impact
Assessments (“EIA”), RMMS, and engagement with our key stakeholders. Details on stakeholder engagement are provided in the "Interests and views of stakeholders" section. With the exception of the
Climate Change and Own Workforce - Health and Safety related sections, the screening focused on the Company’s own operations rather than the downstream and upstream value chains.
For Climate Change, the Company undertook a climate scenario analysis to assess physical and transition risks and opportunities; see the Climate Change – Physical and transitional climate risk
section for disclosure of our climate scenario analysis and results. For Pollution and Water and Marine Resources, screening covers the LMC mine sites, where environmental permits and RMMS govern
our regulatory requirements. For Biodiversity, EIAs established baselines aligned with country-specific regulations, informing our management and monitoring plans that apply the mitigation hierarchy.
For Resource Use and Circular Economy, screening of mining waste—particularly tailings and waste rock—was based on the EIA, RMMS and Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management
(“GISTM”). For Business Conduct, the assessment reflected the Company's operating context in the countries of our operations, our Canadian and Swedish listings, and our value chain structure,
addressing risks including political engagement and anti-corruption. Compliance is overseen through our governance framework, ERM, and legal counsel with direct oversight.
The assessment considered not only how sustainability issues affect LMC’s financial performance (financial materiality) but also how the Company’s operations impact the environment and society
(impact materiality). By integrating these two perspectives, LMC ensured a more complete understanding of its sustainability impacts, risks and opportunities, leading to more informed decision-making
and transparent reporting.  Key aspects of the initial assessment were a high-level analysis of LMC’s value chain as well as the mapping of stakeholders with diverse viewpoints and identifying key
contacts for engagement. Engagement activities covered both internal and external stakeholders – including employees, community members, investors, analysts and banks – to initially identify and
rank Lundin Mining’s material sustainability matters.
The assessment update was performed during workshops with subject matter experts in the environment, legal, human resources, and ERM departments of the Company. These workshops facilitated
an open dialogue, allowing subject matter experts to share insights and perspectives, ensuring accurate assessment of IROs. During the workshops, the significance of each sustainability-related IRO
based on LMC’s value chain and business relationships was validated; and short, medium and long-term perspectives were considered. All IROs were evaluated for their likelihood of occurrence and
potential financial effects using LMC’s risk matrix. The overall rating of each IRO was then calculated and presented to the subject matter experts for validation.
In accordance with ESRS, a topic is deemed material for the purposes of sustainability reporting if it reaches the threshold for impact materiality, financial materiality, or both. Following this
methodology, LMC identified and included specific disclosure requirements and datapoints based on their relevance to identified IROs. LMC evaluated impact materiality for each topic using
predetermined criteria to measure the parameters “scale”, “scope”, and “irremediability” on an increasing importance scale of 1 to 5.  LMC evaluated financial materiality based on the ERM process
with the parameters of “magnitude” and “likelihood” on an increasing importance scale of 1 to 5. To determine the sustainability material topics, the scores for negative and positive impacts, risks and
opportunities were calculated; and LMC also considered human rights implications in relevant topics, recognizing their importance in the broader assessment.
Double materiality assessment output 
The DMA identified that the ESRS topics with material IROs are climate change, pollution, water and marine resources, biodiversity and ecosystems, resource use and circular economy, own workforce,
affected communities, and business conduct. The IROs that were defined have been included in the Sustainability Statement disclosures. The Board was informed of the DMA results following the
completion of the assessment.
LMC does not categorize consumers and end-users as material sustainability topic. As a mine operator, our influence on consumer behaviour and end-user safety is minimal. This aligns with industry
specific regulatory frameworks for metals and mining companies.
71
As part of our internal controls to calibrate our material topics, we monitor and evaluate identified IROs through internal and external processes. Examples of this include quarterly risk assessments,
human rights risk impact assessments, implementation of the RMMS, the SLO Index, and our various grievance mechanisms present at sites.
In the future, the Company will update the DMA every three years, unless circumstances indicate an earlier update is needed. For 2026, the DMA will be revisited and verified during the year to prepare
for the Sustainability Statement in accordance with anticipated changes to the ESRS. 
For each material topic, the Sustainability Statement includes a qualitative description of the associated IROs. This list of IROs will serve as the basis for any future refinements. including further
integration of the assessment with Lundin Mining’s ERM process and evaluation of thresholds.
Climate-related impacts were further assessed with additional analysis to identify material impacts, risks and opportunities linked to climate change risk scenarios across the value chain. LMC’s
climate-related impacts are also assessed as part of the Company’s ERM process. We track progress and analyze GHG emissions from Scope 1-2 on an annual basis following the GHG Protocol
Standard.
At present, there are no measurable financial effects results from material IROs on Lundin Mining's financial position, results of operations, or cashflows. However, we consider internal estimations of
potential financial impacts through our ERM process. Likewise, there is no significant risk of material adjustments to carrying amounts in the next reporting period.

Sustainability governance at Lundin Mining
Our approach to risk management
Lundin Mining applies an enterprise wide risk management approach to identify, assess, and manage risks and opportunities across its operations. The Company’s risk management processes define
the governance structure, roles and responsibilities, and processes for risk identification, assessment, mitigation, and monitoring, including sustainability-related IROs’. The ERM process helps us
identify, manage and mitigate risk and integrates risk considerations into our key decision-making processes. This process is based on the ISO 31000:2018 Risk Management Standard and supports
conformance to United Nations Global Compact (“UNGC”) Principle 7: Environment, which states that businesses should support a precautionary approach to environmental challenges.
78
Risk assessments are conducted at site and corporate levels to evaluate operational, health and safety, environmental, human rights, social, financial, business, and reputational risks and
opportunities. These assessments are reviewed quarterly by functional risk owners, site-based risk champions, project teams, and senior leadership.
The outcomes of these assessments are consolidated into a quarterly corporate risk report. This report documents identified impacts, risks, opportunities, and corresponding controls and mitigation
measures. The report is reviewed by relevant members of the Executive Risk Committee (“ERC”), comprised of members of senior leadership, and subsequently submitted to the Board’s SSTC and AC,
with follow-on discussion by the full Board as necessary or appropriate.
The list of material impacts, risks and opportunities that were addressed by the Board and their relevant committees during the reporting period are described in a table at the beginning of every topical
chapter under the disclosure requirement and in the summary table on page 12.
Safety, Sustainability and Technical Committee
Consisting of four Board members (three of whom are independent), the SSTC meets a minimum of four times a year  to review matters within its mandate, including its principal purpose to assist the
Board in overseeing the Company’s compliance with applicable material legal and regulatory requirements related to health, safety, environmental, community, sustainability, technical and climate
change-related matters, tailings facility management and emergency response planning, safety and sustainability-related risks, performance in relation to safety, sustainability and technical matters,
the performance and leadership of safety, sustainability and technical-related functions in the Company, and external reporting  in relation to safety, sustainability and technical matters.
The SSTC provides reports to the Board with respect to its reviews and recommendations. The Board oversees the implementation of the Company’s approach to sustainability and related policies.
Additionally, it  has an oversight role with respect to risk assessment and management policies and procedures, including those concerning health, safety, environmental, community, human rights,
sustainability, technical and climate change-related matters. Furthermore, the Board and/or its committees assess the Company’s performance against key safety, sustainability and technical
performance objectives, all as described in the Board and committee mandates.
At the management level, senior leadership provides guidance and oversight of site-level sustainability management, ensuring the health and safety, environmental, community, risk management and
other operational programs align with the strategic directives and risk management framework of the Company as a whole.
The day-to-day ownership and management of operational sustainability matters and risks occurs at the operational level at each of our mine sites, with reporting to and under the guidance of corporate
leadership. Each site is responsible for identifying programs, targets and metrics that measure progress and deliver meaningful impact for the business and its stakeholders, including host countries and
local communities. Site-level leadership teams identify and assess key sustainability opportunities and risk exposures facing the sites, including climate change-related exposures, provide direction on
mitigation controls and measures to manage such risks, and monitor progress and issues.
Our guiding sustainability policies
The policies and management system described below underpin Lundin Mining’s approach to identifying, preventing, mitigating and managing the material impacts, risks and opportunities identified
through the Company’s DMA. These policies establish the governance framework for sustainability related topics and are supported by a management system, standards and site-level processes that
operationalize policy commitments across the Company’s own operations and business relationships, as applicable. The effectiveness of these policies is monitored through established governance,
risk management and control processes, as described in the related topical ESRS disclosures. The information presented in this section relates to policies and management approaches in place during
the reporting period.

Human Rights Policy
Key content
The Human Rights Policy identifies the respect for human rights as a core value of Lundin Mining. While the Company believes its operations generally improve livelihoods
and rights of individuals and communities, it acknowledges the potential for negative impacts and commits to a framework of prevention, mitigation, and remediation. This
policy serves as a specialized extension of the Company’s broader Code of Conduct and Responsible Mining Policy, specifically targeting the identification and
management of human rights risks across all operations and projects. The policy also upholds and recognizes, among other rights, the right to collective bargaining,
freedom of association, and the protection of the cultural traditions of Indigenous Peoples and other vulnerable groups.
To ensure these principles are put into practice, the Company integrates human rights due diligence into its standard business decision-making, due diligence and risk
assessment processes. Furthermore, the Company has incorporated the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights into its security-related policies and
procedures.
Accountability is maintained through continuous stakeholder engagement and the provision of effective, anonymous grievance mechanisms that allow for the reporting
and resolution of abuses without fear of retaliation. To remain transparent, the Company provides regular training for employees and partners and conducts periodic
audits of its performance. Finally, Lundin Mining commits to public transparency by reporting its progress through its annual Sustainability Statement and the United
Nations Global Compact Communication on Progress.
Monitoring process
The Company uses Human Rights Risk Assessments (“HRRAs”) with the objective of engaging with stakeholders, with particular attention paid to consulting with affected
rights-holders.  Our stakeholder consultations typically also include workers and trade unions (as their representatives), potentially impacted community members,
company representatives, contractors, government officials, human rights defenders, civil society organizations and experts. LMC continuously incorporates stakeholder
views regarding our positive and negative impacts into our general business.
Additional details on our approach to preventing and mitigating human rights impacts can be found in the Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in the Supply

Standard
 Responsible Mining Management System (“RMMS”)
Key content
The RMMS sets out our expectations for sustainability performance. It provides a structured management approach for each of our operations. It establishes a formal
process to identify and assess sustainability hazards and any other aspects that may create a risk exposure. A series of technical sustainability standards formalizes these
requirements and forms the basis of our site-specific sustainability management programs.
Each operation is required to establish formal processes to:
- Manage risk, operational changes and legal requirements
- Establish goals and objectives to improve performance related to our responsible mining principles
- Determine responsibilities and accountabilities
- Provide awareness, competency and training
- Enhance communications and stakeholder engagement
- Ensure operational controls to effectively manage environment, health and safety, and social performance
- Establish crisis and emergency response
- Ensure effective incident and action management
- Manage contractors and suppliers
- Determine document control and recordkeeping
- Assure management system effectiveness through assessing performance and regular audits
Technical standards formalize the RMMS requirements and form the basis for site management programs to address key operational activities such as tailings
management, social performance, air quality, GHG management, safety and fatal risk management, greenhouse gas management and water management. 
In 2025 we initiated a complete review of the RMMS to identify opportunities to improve both the content and the assessment process.
Monitoring process
Our RMMS includes regular internal verification.
Scope
The RMMS specifies Company-wide requirements, applicable to all sites and is available in all our operational languages.
Accountable for the
implementation
Each operation must establish formal processes that conform to the requirements of the RMMS and supporting sustainability performance standard and procedures.
Third-party standards
The Company aligns its policies and procedures with international best practices and guidance on sustainability matters to meet our business objectives. The RMMS is aligned with the ISO 14001:2015
Environmental Management System Standard, Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series ("OHSAS") 18001, and the GISTM.

Performance-based Compensation Underscoring the importance of sustainability, we directly link a variety of measures including health and safety, environment and social performance measures to
compensation outcomes for the Company’s ET. It is crucial to note that these sustainability key performance indicators ("KPI’s") are tied to overall corporate performance measures, impacting
compensation for not only executives but also the broader workforce.
In fiscal year 2025, the application of the Company’s compensation guidelines reflected its overall corporate and sustainability performance. The annual cash incentive for the CEO and other members
of the ET  is determined under a short-term incentive (“STI”) plan based on performance criteria that is set on an annual basis. Corporate performance accounts for 75% of the STI outcome for the ET and
is weighted across financial and operational performance (60%), sustainability performance covering safety, environment and social license (20%), and strategic execution (20%), with the remaining
25% based on individual executive performance. Climate-related considerations are addressed as part of strategic execution. 
Sustainability performance is assessed against defined objectives, including total recordable injury frequency, implementation of the Fatal Risk Management program, and performance related to
environmental incident management, water stewardship (advancement of site-specific management plans) and social outcomes (advancement of SLO index). Performance of the objectives is assessed
annually by the HRCC and as appropriate by the SSTC and the Board. For fiscal year 2025, the Company met or exceeded the majority of its corporate performance objectives, resulting in a corporate
sustainability performance score of 31% (out of a target of 20%) and an overall corporate performance score of 138%. The performance of climate-related considerations was assessed based on
progress against internal criteria related to carbon reduction planning activities across the Company’s operations. The HRCC reviewed the outcomes and exercised discretion in accordance with the
compensation guidelines to ensure fair and appropriate results.  Final incentive outcomes for the CEO were approved by the Board and final incentive outcomes for other ET members were approved by
the HRCC.

Risk management and internal controls over sustainability reporting
The Company has established, implemented and operates a system of internal controls and processes to support the completeness, integrity, accuracy and timeliness of information disclosed in the
Sustainability Statement. Key risks relate to the completeness of reported information, the consistency and accuracy of data, the availability of information within reporting timelines and reliance on
assumption and estimates for certain quantitative metrics.
Controls to mitigate these risks include processes for data collection and validation, segregation of responsibilities between data preparation and review, and information technology controls designed
to safeguard data integrity. These controls are embedded within RMMS, which provides structured oversight of material sustainability topics, including defined accountability, documentation
requirements and internal control expectations.
The sustainability reporting process operates through standardized reporting templates applied consistently across quarterly and annual reporting cycles. Key quantitative sustainability data are
collected on a quarterly basis, enabling the timely application of detective controls and the identification, escalation and resolution of issues prior to year-end reporting.
Sustainability information is generated through a structured process whereby designated data owners prepare and submit information, which is subject to review and approval by accountable
management representatives. On an annual basis, we document the process used to develop the Sustainability Statement and share it with management and the Board.

Environmental Information
Climate Change (ESRS E1)
Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model
Climate change and GHG emissions are material to Lundin Mining because of the energy-intensive nature of the extractive industries, associated carbon footprint, and adaptation and mitigation
planning considerations. Extensive global interest is spurring corporate action to reduce GHG emissions, commit to low-carbon alternatives and promote climate resilience. We acknowledge climate
change as an international concern.
Planning for climate change mitigation
The Company has not adopted a formal climate transition plan as defined under the ESRS. Given the Company’s operating profile as a mining operator, the current availability and maturity of low-carbon
technologies applicable to large-scale mining equipment, constraints related to fuel supply and the long-lived nature of existing operational infrastructure, the Company does not currently plan to adopt
a standalone climate transition plan aligned to externally defined decarbonisation pathways. The Company manages climate-related mitigation through a combination of governance processes, a
consolidated medium-term GHG emissions reduction target, and the implementation of site-level mitigation actions. Key mitigation actions include:
- Implementation of energy efficiency initiatives across operations;
- Increased use of low-carbon and renewable energy sources, where feasible; and
- Integration of climate considerations into capital allocation and investment decision-making.
The appropriateness of developing a formal climate transition plan will be reassessed if regulatory expectations change materially, sector-specific transition pathways for mining are further established,
or technological developments materially improve the feasibility of additional emissions reductions.
In 2025, LMC focused on understanding the impact that the changes to its assets base will have on its climate target.  To continue to make progress toward  our climate target and mitigate risks
associated with GHG emissions, LMC has identified several emission reduction actions such as use of electric vehicles to transport personnel. As technology advances and we deepen our
understanding of our full emissions profile, we remain open to additional actions that can further our decarbonisation efforts.
Considerations relevant to climate mitigation planning 
The Company’s approach to addressing climate mitigation considers the following factors:
- Locked in emissions: LMC mine sites are considered sources of locked-in GHG emissions as the presence of long-lived infrastructure such as buildings and heavy equipment, and established
processing methods make it technically difficult or costly to switch to low-carbon alternatives.
- Categorization of planned actions: when planning for the initial target, initiatives were identified in various categories such as electrification, renewable energy, electricity efficiency, and fuel
efficiency. Together, these categories make up LMC’s road map to reach its climate target. To date, LMC has been successful in implementing actions in the renewable category (primarily impacting
Scope 2 market-based emissions) and in 2025 focused on identifying initiatives to address Scope 1 emissions.
88
- Integration into financial and operational planning: the climate target is integrated into LMC’s long-term mine planning and budget cycle which are reviewed by the ET and the Board annually. Large
investment projects are evaluated based upon their priority level. As our investments in new technologies and projects serve multiple purposes, it is difficult to establish the allocation of funds
exclusively to decarbonisation efforts.
Physical and transitional climate risks
As noted above, the Company has not undertaken a formal climate transition plan as defined under the ESRS, nor has the Company undertaken a formal resilience analysis in accordance with ESRS.
However, Lundin Mining has assessed the resilience of its business model and strategy to climate change through a climate scenario and financial impact analysis,  covering both physical and transition
risks across major operating assets. The scenario analysis, completed in 2024 by a third party, explored how risks associated with carbon pricing, water scarcity and flooding could further develop over
different plausible futures, and what the possible financial implications for the Company could be. These risk drivers were selected due to their potential to affect the availability of critical inputs
(particularly water), the operability of mining assets and associated infrastructure, and the continuity and cost structure of operations, and therefore their relevance to assessing the resilience of the
Company’s business model and strategy under changing climate conditions.
For the purposes of the assessment, the magnitude of physical risks were considered in order to assess potential exposure at the outset of the assessment. Physical climate risks were classified as
either acute, arising from event-driven hazards such as flooding or extreme weather events, or chronic, arising from longer-term changes in climate patterns, including shifts in precipitation and water
availability. The assessment did not cover the value chain but rather, focused on flood and water scarcity risks at selected operations where exposure was assessed to be higher, including the
Candelaria and Caserones operations in Chile (water scarcity) and the Chapada operation in Brazil (flooding).
The analysis included standard timelines comprising the baseline year (2024), the medium term (2030), and the long term (2050). The climate scenario analysis and financial quantification are based on
a number of key assumptions. Physical risks were evaluated using recognized global climate scenarios representing lower‑ and higher‑emissions pathways and were applied at an asset level using
location‑specific climate indicators as proxies for flooding and water scarcity risk. Transition risks were assessed primarily through carbon pricing scenarios derived from publicly available energy
transition pathways, with jurisdiction‑specific assumptions applied based on current and announced policy frameworks. Financial impacts were estimated using life‑of‑mine operating and production
assumptions, assuming mines operate at planned capacity and that climate‑related disruptions resulted in temporary business interruption rather than permanent asset impairment or closure. The
analysis considered gross impacts before mitigation actions and in the case of transition risks, focused on Scope 1 carbon pricing exposure, excluding potential future carbon offsets, concessions or
changes in regulations beyond those reflected in the selected scenarios. As noted above, the analysis covered various time horizons and incorporated inherent uncertainty related to future climate
conditions, policy developments, market responses and technology deployment.
The results of the scenario analysis and associated financial impact assessment are directly linked to the assumptions applied in each scenario. The specific scenarios considered are detailed in the
table below.
89
Physical risks scenarios
Transition risks scenarios
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ("IPCC") AR6 report uses Shared
Socioeconomic Pathway ("SSP") scenarios to assess the state of the physical climate under
a range of plausible futures. They combine qualitative storylines of societal features and
quantified measures of development alongside climate data to create plausible scenarios
for how quickly humans can curb emissions. The scenarios utilized in this assessment are:
- SSP1-2.6, which implies an increase in mean global temperatures of 2°C or less by
2100, in line with goals of the Paris Agreement
- SSP3-7.0, which implies ~4°C increase in mean global temperature by 2100
- SSP5-8.5, which implies ~5°C increase in mean global temperature by 2100
(Note: this analysis uses SSP3-7.0 indicators for the high emissions scenario, except for
water scarcity which uses SSP5-8.5 due to the use of WRI Aqueduct.)
Transition risk assessment uses the International Energy Agency’s ("IEA") World Energy Outlook ("WEO")
2023 scenarios. In line with industry peers and the TCFD's recommendations, two scenarios are used:
- Stated Policies Scenario ("STEPS") – 2.4°C - reflects current policy settings based on a sector-by-
sector and country by country assessment of the specific policies that are in place, as well as those
that have been announced by governments around the world
- Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario ("NZE") – 1.5°C - a pathway for the global energy sector to
achieve net zero CO2 emissions by 2050
Assessment of physical risks
- Each mine included in the assessment was screened for exposure to the acute hazard
of flooding and the chronic hazard of water scarcity
- Climate indicator data specific to each site and these climate hazards were generated 
based upon the above-noted scenarios, representing varying assumptions about the
level of warming in the coming decades
- Trends and potential risks were identified, which formed the basis of quantification for
relevant risks
- The financial impacts of the risks were quantified
Assessment of transition risks
- Key drivers of carbon pricing risk were analyzed to assess the likelihood of the IEA’s carbon price
being implemented on all LMC’s Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions under each jurisdiction of
operation
- The likelihood of the IEA’s carbon price was assessed under the STEPS and NZE scenario being
implemented by 2030 and 2050
- The financial impacts of the carbon pricing risk were quantified
The analysis indicated that LMC’s assets are exposed to existing climate conditions which are not expected to change significantly under future scenarios within the timeframe studied. The analysis also
notes that under worst case scenarios for physical risks,  water scarcity at Caserones (Chile) and flooding at Chapada (Brazil) represent the most significant  physical risks affecting LMC's assets.
Carbon pricing was identified as the most significant transition risk under more ambitious global decarbonisation pathways, with potential impacts driven primarily by Scope 1 emissions due to
predicted reductions in Scope 2 from grid decarbonisation and LMC’s renewable electricity procurement. Under STEPS, exposure to carbon pricing is assessed as limited.
90
In addition to risks, the assessment identified existing climate-related opportunities, including improved resource efficiency through energy efficiency initiatives and the role of copper products in
supporting global electrification. The assessment also identified longer-term uncertainties, including constraints related to electricity grid capacity and the pace of grid decarbonisation in certain
jurisdictions.
The climate‑related scenario analysis and associated financial estimates are based on selected physical and transition climate scenarios and a defined set of assumptions, including those regarding
future climate conditions, policy implementation, carbon pricing mechanisms, technology availability and electricity grid decarbonisation. These scenarios and assumptions represent plausible
pathways used for analytical purposes and do not constitute predictions; actual outcomes may differ due to changes in assumptions, external conditions or management decisions. Physical risk
assessments rely on the use of location‑specific climate indicators as proxies for flooding and water scarcity and therefore do not seek to predict the precise timing, frequency or severity of individual
climate events. Financial impact estimates are derived using current life‑of‑mine plans, operating assumptions and cost structures and assume temporary operational disruption rather than permanent
asset impairment, curtailment or early closure. Transition risk quantification focuses on Scope 1 carbon pricing exposure under defined scenarios and excludes the potential effects of future policy
exemptions, changes in coverage thresholds or carbon offsets. Scope 3 GHG emissions were not quantitatively modelled in this scenario analysis, and uncertainties related to future changes in supplier
practices, logistics configurations, customer behaviour or product demand were not assessed beyond those implicit in the selected scenarios. As a result, the analysis should be interpreted as an
indicative assessment of exposure under specified conditions rather than a forecast of future financial performance.
Description and assessment of material climate-related impacts, risks and opportunities
The material IROs related to climate change have been identified in a DMA. The materiality assessment is discussed under General Information. Refer to the Material  impacts, risks and opportunities

Our policies and approach
The Company adopted policies to manage climate-related impacts, risks, and opportunities. These policies address both climate change mitigation and climate change adaptation, and are designed to
support regulatory compliance, operational resilience, and long-term value creation. The policies:
- Commit the undertaking to reducing its GHG emissions footprint
91
- Define responsibilities for climate-related risk management
- Support compliance with applicable climate-related laws and regulations
- Encourage continuous improvement in climate performance and transparency
- Encourage collaboration with host communities to monitor and address related impacts
Oversight of climate-related policies rests with senior management, with regular reporting on progress and emerging risks to the Board.
Governance
policies
Relation to the sustainability topic
Approach
RMP, RMMS
The policies and management systems described below are designed to prevent,
mitigate and manage the material impacts, risks and opportunities related to climate
change, including impacts associated with greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and
exposure to physical climate hazards. The scope of these policies and related
management measures aligns with the value-chain boundary of the identified
impacts and risks, which primarily relate to Lundin Mining’s own operations.
The Company’s RMP and RMMS establish the governance framework for managing
climate-related impacts, risks and opportunities. Together, these instruments
address climate change mitigation and adaptation, energy efficiency and the use of
renewable energy across the Company’s operations. The RMP publicly commits the
Company to reducing GHG emissions and to preparing its operations and host
communities to respond to climate-related risks. The policy applies across 
operating sites and is available to stakeholders.
The RMMS governs corporate- and site-level risk management processes, including
the identification, assessment and management of climate-related risks, as well as
related community engagement and air quality management practices.
The RMMS guides our operations’ approach to the responsible use of energy
and the development of GHG emissions reduction initiatives.
- Our largest energy consumer, Candelaria, has certified its energy
management system under the ISO 50001 Energy Management System
Standard to further this approach, guided by its Energy Management
Committee. Caserones has also certified its energy management system
under the ISO 50001.
- Caserones, Candelaria and Chapada maximize their  use of renewable
energy for their purchased electricity consumption.   
- Candelaria, Caserones and Chapada revised evaluation of carbon
abatement initiatives.
Tracking of
implementation and
effectiveness
The effectiveness of the policies and management systems in managing the identified climate-related impacts and risks is monitored through a combination of
operational performance tracking, internal management review and, where applicable, third-party audits. Information related to energy use, emissions performance
and climate-related risks is reviewed through established governance processes, with oversight by management and reporting to relevant Board committees. These
monitoring activities support the identification of trends, assessment of control effectiveness and implementation of corrective actions where required.
92
Climate-related considerations factored into remuneration
Climate-related considerations are integrated into the variable cash remuneration of senior executives. For the 2025 reporting period, performance was assessed based on progress against internal
criteria related to carbon reduction planning activities across the Company’s operations, within a broader Strategic Execution category. The Strategic Execution category accounted for 20% of the
variable remuneration recognized in the period and reflects the integration of climate-related considerations alongside other strategic priorities.
The compensation of the Company’s Board is fixed and not performance-based. Additional information on executive remuneration is disclosed in the Management Information Circular for the
Company's annual meeting on May 7, 2026.
Actions and resources related to climate change during the year
In 2025, we undertook an analysis of potential site-based emission reduction projects at Candelaria and Chapada using the same methodology used in Caserones in 2024 to support our decarbonisation
goal, identify emissions abatement opportunities and prioritize key actions. Progress on all sustainability goals, including climate action, is reported to the Board quarterly.   
100% of the electricity use of our operations in Chile comes from renewable sources.  In addition, Chapada partnered with Serena, a global leader in renewable energy investments, to supply 100% of
Chapada's electricity needs from renewable energy. This agreement, which began in 2024, has an initial duration of 10 years. The renewable energy will be sourced from the Chuí Wind Complex, a
Serena asset in Rio Grande do Sul, which has an installed capacity of 582 MW and 302 wind turbines. The actual reduction achieved will depend on electricity consumption and changes to the Brazilian
electricity grid emission factor over that period.
Supporting carbon research and resilience
Several of our sites are actively contributing to carbon sequestration research, helping to remove carbon from the atmosphere.
At Chapada, we are funding a three-year initiative to develop and verify a tree inventory in the nearby forest through the Chapada Education Center (CEA). This project enables the Federal University of
Goiás Forestry Inventory Laboratory to assess carbon stocks in trees, supporting sustainable land management. This study was updated in 2025.
At Candelaria, we are collaborating with the Blue Carbon Initiative to study coastal ecosystems’ role in carbon sequestration. Research in the waters off the Punta Padrones port focuses on seaweed
meadows’ ability to capture and store carbon. Following necessary applications, the project has installed an artificial reef near the pier to host seaweed and evaluate its carbon sequestration potential.
These ongoing research initiatives are exploratory in nature and do not constitute GHG emissions removal credits, nor are they included in the Company’s GHG emissions reduction targets or
inventories.
GHG emission reduction initiatives
As a result of Chapada sourcing 100% of its electricity from renewable energy sources in 2025, it achieved 24,942 t CO₂eq of GHG emissions reductions in Scope 2 (market-based). These reductions
represent the achieved emissions reductions of our climate mitigation actions during the reporting period. The Company has not estimated additional expected GHG emissions reductions associated
with this action but considers that maintaining renewable energy contracts is a key aspect of continuing to meet its climate change target.
Notwithstanding the achievement of having all our operations located in Chile and Brazil sourcing electricity from renewable energy, we have completed studies at Candelaria, Caserones and Chapada
to identify Scope 1 emissions reduction opportunities. The studies provide a foundation for investment decisions towards reducing direct emissions from our operations in the future.
5 Includes Candelaria, Caserones, Chapada as well as Eagle (divested in January 2026), Neves-Corvo (divested in April 2025) and Zinkgruvan (divested in April 2025) mines.
93
Resources
The Company allocates financial, human and operational resources through its annual budgeting and operational planning processes to manage and mitigate adverse environmental impacts identified
through the DMA. Human resources included are dedicated personnel at site and corporate levels, supported by specialist functions where required. Actions implemented during the reporting period
included purchase of renewable energy and mitigation measures, with associated expenditures monitored as part of routine operational controls. During the reporting year, the Company has spent $207
million on renewable energy contracts. In 2026, the Company intends on spending approximately $205 million on renewable energy.
Targets related to climate change mitigation and adaptation
Company wide strategic targets are set by management team and are approved by the Board. Tracking of targets is undertaken on a quarterly basis. The Corporate GHG emissions target was first
announced in 2022, with a commitment to reduce our absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions by 35% by 2030 across our end-of-2019 portfolio of operations, compared to a target base
year of adjusted 2019 emissions 5. Since then, progress toward our target has been assessed based on the GHG emissions of our 2019 portfolio of operations. In 2024, we recalculated our target base
year to include Caserones, enabling us to assess progress toward our target based on our current portfolio of operating mines. The target is not static and will be updated as Lundin Mining identifies and
implements new GHG emissions reduction opportunities.
The Company’s GHG emissions reduction target has not been assessed as science-based and is not represented as being aligned with limiting global warming to 1.5°C in line with the Paris Agreement.
The Company’s reported GHG emissions data are subject to external limited assurance. However, the GHG emissions reduction target itself has not been externally assured or validated.
The Company will continue to monitor developments in climate regulation, industry guidance, and decarbonisation methodologies and may revisit the design and ambition of its target as additional data,
technologies become available.
6 Lundin Mining’s 2019 GHG emissions inventory included six months of data for Chapada, representing the operation's emissions post-acquisition. The 2019 adjusted target base year represented our 2019 portfolio (excluding
Caserones and Josemaria) of global emissions, after adjustments to annualize Chapada's data.

Methodology and assumptions
Refer to Metrics methodologies and assumptions of this section for detailed information about our Corporate GHG Inventory methodologies. Specifically in relation to
our target, LMC  adjusted the  2019 baseline GHG emissions to annualize Chapada’s emissions, and in 2024, the  baseline was recalculated to include Caserones
emissions. The recalculation was based on fuel and electricity consumption data provided by Caserones for the year 2019. The baseline was recalculated in 2025 to
account for divestment of Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan using the pro rata approach. The baseline will be recalculated in 2026 to incorporate further changes to LMC’s
portfolio of assets.
The target was developed using the Company’s internal assessment of emissions reduction potential based on historical emissions data, expected operational
efficiencies, renewable electricity sourcing, and evaluation of site-specific mitigation opportunities. The target is based on absolute emissions reductions rather than
emissions intensity metrics. The target has not been derived using a sectoral decarbonisation pathway, scenario modelling aligned to specific climate policy
outcomes, or a science-based target methodology.
Progress
Although the emissions target was achieved in 2024, based  on our recalculated baseline, the emissions target was also achieved in 2025. This was primarily due to Candelaria extending its contractual
agreement to source 100% of its electricity from renewable sources with zero-carbon emissions in 2024 and the inclusion of Caserones, whose 2019 GHG emissions profile did not benefit from the use
of renewable energy, but which subsequently transitioned to 100% renewable energy use. As a result, Caserones’ Scope 2 market-based emissions dropped to zero in 2024, compared to a calculated
378,450 t CO2eq in 2019. 6 In 2025, Chapada started sourcing 100% of their electricity from renewable energy sources.  Refer to GHG emission reductions for additional information about
decarbonisation levers and their overall quantitative contributions to GHG emission reductions.

Metrics methodologies and assumptions
- Energy within Lundin Mining includes fuel and electricity consumed by the Company and contractors for core business activities
- Fuel data sources include Lundin Mining’s internal fuel consumption and purchase records, and fuel-consumption records reported to the Company by contractors
- For mobile sources fuel consumption, it is assumed that vehicle type is accurately allocated
- Factors to convert quantities of fuel consumed to energy units are sourced in-country from product data sheets and national publications
- Electricity consumption data are obtained from supplier invoices based on meter consumption
- Fuel and electricity renewable contents are based on data from power supply contracts, suppliers and national publications
- There were no changes in the corresponding metrics or underlying measurement methodologies, significant assumptions, limitations, sources and processes to collect data adopted during 2025
- The metrics are not validated by any external body other than the assurance provider
Key factors result in variations in energy consumption between sites and within sites from year-to-year, including:
- Relative scale of each operation
- Quantity of ore mined and milled
- Electrical power requirements underground for ventilation, lighting, hoisting, conveyors, pumps and other equipment
- Fuel requirements at our open pit mines for haulage of waste rock and ore
- Changing operating conditions over time such as ore characteristics, expansion projects, construction projects and haulage distances
 
Our total energy consumption is primarily influenced by open pit operations at Candelaria, Caserones and Chapada due to the ore and waste haulage distances at these sites, as well as their production
levels.
9 Energy intensity per net revenue  includes Continuing Operations and Discontinued Operations only and excludes the Joint Operation.The intensity of Discontinued Operations is 781.
97
We believe that focusing on decarbonisation of our energy sources where feasible is an important aspect of achieving significant GHG emissions reductions. In 2025, 100% of the purchased electrical
energy consumed at Candelaria, Caserones and Chapada was from renewable sources, demonstrating the benefit of a sustainable sourcing approach at these sites.
Energy intensity per net revenue
Company activities belong to the Mining and Quarrying sector, which is considered a high climate impact sector.

Metrics methodologies and assumptions
- Energy intensity per net revenue is calculated as the Total Energy consumption divided by the net revenue. Reference revenue in Notes 3 and 19 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
- Net revenue is revenue as presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements and prepared in accordance with IFRS 15.
- Intensity ratios allow the analysis of energy consumption in the context of an organization-specific metric. Metrics can be impacted by factors that do not necessarily relate to operational
efficiencies, such as type of mine, haulage distances and ore grade or hardness; consequently, interpretation of intensity data requires careful consideration.
- There were no changes in the corresponding metrics or underlying measurement methodologies, significant assumptions, limitations, sources and processes to collect data adopted during 2025.
- The metrics are not validated by any external body other than the assurance provider.
10 The market-based scope 2 definition refers to the method used to calculate indirect GHG emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, heat, steam, and cooling. This method considers the
specific electricity products or contracts a company has chosen for its energy consumption, such as renewable energy certificates or power purchase agreements (PPAs).

Scope 3 GHG emissions by category
When developing the Scope 3 inventory for the reporting year, LMC applied the results of a screening assessment completed in 2022, using 2021 information to determine which Scope 3 categories are
most significant to the total Scope 3 footprint. To account for the addition of Caserones, which was not owned by Lundin Mining in 2021, the broad sector ratios from Candelaria were applied as it is the
most similar operation and the two sites have geographical proximity. Notwithstanding the assumption noted previously, no additional material changes in operational structure or procurement patterns
are assumed across the sites during this period.
The Scope 3 inventory is intended to reflect LMC’s upstream and downstream value chain emissions for the reporting period, within the reporting boundary used for the Company’s GHG inventory.
Quantification approaches were selected by category, based on data availability and materiality, applying a hierarchy that prioritizes supplier- or activity-specific information where available,
supplemented by spend-based estimates where primary data are not yet available. Key data inputs include site activity data (where available), financial expenditure data mapped to relevant commodity/
industry categories, and externally sourced emission factors. General approach is summarized in the table below and detailed in the Metrics methodologies and assumptions section.

Spend based 
method
Category 1 emissions were quantified using a spend based method, supported by detailed data mapping for all operations
(excluding general and administrative costs for corporate and regional offices). For sites where complete financial information
was available for 2025, a structured mapping exercise was conducted to determine the appropriate inclusion and exclusion of
cost items within Category 1. For sites lacking detailed allocation data for 2025, previous year financial information was utilised
where available, or for some sites proxy allocations were used on comparable operations considering similarities in mining
method (open-pit), product type, and geographic context.
2
Capital goods
142,229
Spend based
method
Category 2 emissions were quantified using the spend based method. A detailed review of major capital suppliers (covering
approximately 60% of suppliers, including infrastructure, machinery and equipment) was completed in 2022 during the
screening assessment. This spend based allocation was then applied to 2025 site data both for the sites owned in 2021, and
used as a proxy allocation for sites acquired since.

For the sites where activity data was available, vendor reported emissions were used as the primary source of data. In cases
where partial year data was available, activity was treated as consistent throughout the year and therefore extrapolation was
used to calculate the emissions for the full reporting period.
Spend based analysis was used to calculate the emissions when activity data was not available removing the proportion of
activity-based amounts to avoid double counting. For spending assigned to transportation (air, land and marine), it was
assumed that the relative distribution of the spend within this category in 2025 is consistent with the 2022 screening
assessment.

Total Scope 3 GHG emissions
1,443,101
For the current reporting period, 1% of our total Scope 3 GHG emissions are calculated using primary data obtained directly from our value chain partners. Primary data is currently limited to specific
distance based records provided by our primary logistics partners (Scope 3, Category 4). 44% of our total Scope 3 GHG emissions are estimated using a spend based methodology and the remaining
56% of our total Scope 3 GHG emissions are calculated  based on activity data.
Key assumptions and estimation techniques include: (i) the continued applicability of the screening-level category ranking developed in 2022; (ii) no material changes in procurement, logistics and
operating structures across sites where proxy allocations were applied; (iii) the use of proxies based on comparable operations when detailed allocations were not available; and (iv) the use of spend-
based analysis, including industry-average emission factors, for selected categories where granular supplier- or activity-level data are limited. Principal limitations relate to reliance on spend-based
methodologies, partial-year and incomplete datasets in certain categories, the need to extrapolate or apply allocation assumptions to achieve full-period coverage, and the use of sector-average
emission factors that may not fully reflect supplier-specific performance or recent changes in the asset portfolio. Where spend is used as a proxy, financial expenditure is assumed to correlate with the
physical quantity of goods and services consumed.
11 Biomass CO2 emissions related to electricity use is not feasible because grid average emission factors used do not include information on the percentage of biomass.
102
Emission factors including US Environmentally Extended Input-Output ("EEIO") based factors derived from national or regional economic and GHG databases inherently reflect sector-wide averages and
therefore introduce estimation uncertainty. Accordingly, the Scope 3 results should be interpreted as estimates that provide a high-level view of value chain emissions and are expected to be refined
over time as data quality improves.
LMC’s improvement plan includes incrementally increasing the percentage of primary data used in future years by increasing supplier-specific data coverage for high-impact categories, reducing
reliance on spend-based and average-data methods, and improving the transparency and auditability of calculations, assumptions and data mapping.

Metrics methodologies and assumptions
- Quantification methodology for Scope 1, Scope 2 (location and market-based), Scope 3 and biogenic emissions is aligned with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting
Standard.
- Consolidation approach based on financial control and consistent to consolidation defined. Refer to Consolidation section for details.
- Emissions are stated on a CO2eq basis, which is inclusive of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). Other gases are not considered to be material.
- Carbon dioxide equivalent values calculated using the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors.
- Emission factors for location-based emissions calculations were regional or national grid average data obtained in-country, where available, and otherwise were sourced from the International
Energy Agency (IEA (2025), Emission Factors). Grid average emission factors do not note the percentage of biomass in the emission factor and do not separately report the biogenic CO2, effectively
treating it as “zero” emissions. Biomass CO2 reporting is not feasible at this time when using grid average emission factors for Scope 2 emissions.
- Emission factors for Scope 2 market-based emissions were sourced annually from a PPA contractual arrangement (Candelaria); I-REC certified zero-emission supplies (Caserones, Chapada);
Guarantee of Origin certificate (Zinkgruvan); European Residual Mixes 2024 (AIB, 2025) (Neves-Corvo); and, since residual mix data are not currently available for Argentina and the USA , regional or
national grid average data are applied for Vicuña Project and Eagle.
- Direct CO2 emissions from combustion of biogenic fuel sources are excluded from Scope 1.
- There were no changes in the corresponding metrics or underlying measurement methodologies, significant assumptions, limitations, sources and processes to collect data adopted during 2025.
- The metrics are not validated by any external body other than the assurance provider.
- Scope 3 - categories 1, 2 and 4 emission factors are based on the US Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") modeling of supply chain emissions, covering the North American Industry
Classification System (" NAICS") - defined commodities, specifically the US EEIO. These are now supported by the Cornerstone Sustainability Initiative.
- Scope 3 - category 3 emissions from purchased fuels were calculated by applying well-to-tank emission factors to each site’s fuel consumption. Emissions from purchased fuels were calculated by
applying energy-source–specific emission factors to grid electricity consumption. Emissions from transmission and distribution losses were calculated by applying location-based grid emission
factors and transmission and distribution loss factors to total electricity consumption at each site.
- Scope 3- category 10  emission factors were selected to reflect the geographic regions in which the majority of downstream processing is expected to occur. Emission factors were sourced from life
cycle assessment studies and recognized metals industry advisory bodies (for example, International Copper Association).
12 Total Scope 1,2 (location-based) and 3 GHG emissions per net revenue includes Continuing and Discontinued Operations. The Joint Operation is excluded.

Candelaria is the largest source of our GHG emissions, due to the scale of its operations. Candelaria, Caserones and Chapada together contributed 93% of our Scope 1 emissions, reflecting the open pit
nature of these operations and their current reliance on diesel for ore and waste rock haulage. Candelaria, Caserones and Chapada’s Scope 2 market-based emissions benefit from their guaranteed
100% renewable energy sources.

- Reference revenue in Notes 3 and 19 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
- Net revenue is revenue as presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements and prepared in accordance with IFRS 15.
- Intensity ratios allow the analysis of energy consumption and GHG emissions data in the context of an organization-specific metric. Metrics can be impacted by factors that do not necessarily relate
to operational efficiencies, such as type of mine, haulage distances and ore grade or hardness; consequently, interpretation of intensity data requires careful consideration.
- There were no changes in the corresponding metrics or underlying measurement methodologies, significant assumptions, limitations, sources and processes to collect data adopted during 2025.
- The metrics are not validated by any external body other than the assurance provider.

Pollution (ESRS E2)
Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model
Pollution prevention is a material consideration across the company’s operations due to the potential for emissions to air arising from mining activities impacting the environment and health and well-
being of local communities. The Company operates within an extensive regulatory framework, including site-specific environmental permits and applicable national pollution regulations, which
influence operational design, controls and investment decisions.
Air emissions, particularly particulate matter (dust), may occur throughout the mining life cycle from activities such as blasting, material handling, vehicle movements and mine waste management. If
not effectively managed, such emissions may result in adverse environmental and social impacts, regulatory non-compliance, reputational harm, and operational disruptions. Accordingly, the
management of air-related pollution risks is integrated into the Company’s operational planning, environmental management systems and community engagement processes.
Each operated site implements site-specific programs and controls designed to monitor, prevent and mitigate air-related pollution impacts, reflecting the Company’s strategy to operate in compliance
with regulatory requirements and to reduce adverse environmental and social impacts associated with its business model.
This section addresses pollution to air. IROs related to water pollution are addressed in the Water and Marine Resources section of this Sustainability Statement.
Description and assessment of material pollution impacts, risks and opportunities
The material IROs related to pollution have been identified through the DMA. The materiality assessment is discussed under General Information. Refer to the Material  impacts, risks and opportunities
section for details about our process to identify material IROs. The table below includes the description of the material IROs related to air quality for Lundin Mining.

Governance policies
Relation to the sustainability topic and IROs
Approach
RMP, RMMS,
LMC’s policies related to
pollution cover the
pollution of air. 
The policies and management systems described below are designed to
prevent and mitigate the material air-quality impact identified above,
namely the potential for mining-related particulate emissions to adversely
affect environmental quality and community health.
Our RMP states our commitment to promote environmental stewardship
throughout the mining life cycle, emphasizing responsible management of
our natural resources including air.
Lundin Mining seeks to minimize the disturbance to neighbouring
communities and the surrounding environment from emissions of air
pollutants. Guided by the principles of our RMP, addressing impacts to air
quality contributes to the health and well-being of local communities and
workers, and results in a more sustainable environment.
The policy does not list specific pollutants but emphasizes promotion of
environmental stewardship throughout the mining life cycle and
responsible management of our natural resources, including land, air,
water, biodiversity, and energy. 
Our RMMS supports this approach and seeks to manage environmental
and social impacts from air emissions via site-specific management
planning, ongoing performance evaluation, and implementation of
appropriate controls throughout the mining life cycle. The RMMS covers
both our active operations, as well as managing and limiting impacts on
people and the environment in the event of incidents and emergencies.
Our Code of Conduct outline expectations on LMC operations and our
business partners to prevent, mitigate, and remediate impacts and risks
related to sustainability.
To cover the impacts in our value chain we encourage our business
partners to acknowledge receipt of LMC’s RMP.
Each of our operations implements programs to monitor and manage impacts of dust
emissions from mining and blasting activities, vehicle movements, material handling and
mine waste facilities. Examples include the following:
- Dust suppression and associated management measures that are widely used across
the mining sector are routinely employed.
- Controls include the application of water and binding agents, sprinkler systems, wheel
washes and sweepers, speed limits and road maintenance, covering of ore storage
areas and conveyors, covering of concentrate and other materials for transport, and
dust capture systems and air filters in indoor areas.
- Mitigating procedures and workforce training facilitate the effectiveness of these
measures.
- Our management approach takes air quality impacts into account both within our site
boundaries and on land adjacent to operations.
- Depending on their specific circumstances and regulatory requirements, our operations
monitor oxides of nitrogen and sulphur (NOx and SOx), volatile organic compounds
(VOCs), carbon monoxide (CO), hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) and particulate
emissions.
- The policy does not specifically address substituting and minimizing the use of
substances of concern or phasing out substances of very high concern.
Tracking of
implementation and
effectiveness
The effectiveness of the policies and management systems in managing the identified air-quality impact is monitored through a combination of operational performance
tracking, internal reviews and, where applicable, regulatory inspections. Site-level performance data and incidents related to air quality are reviewed through established
governance processes, including management oversight and reporting to relevant Board committees as appropriate. These monitoring activities support the identification
of non-conformances and the implementation of corrective actions where required.
106
Other supporting systems:
Our Sustainability Incident Management Standard sets minimum requirements for the classification, reporting, investigation and resolution of incidents. The Standard has a five-tier classification
system, and the scope of incident investigation is dependent on the incident classification. The investigations are then used to implement and track corrective and preventative measures. In 2025, the
Incident Management Standard was reviewed, updated and included in the RMMS.
Actions and resources related to pollution during the year
During 2025, the Company continued to implement a range of actions across its operations to prevent, mitigate and manage air pollution, with a particular focus on particulate matter (dust). These
actions included dust suppression measures for unpaved areas, roads and traffic management, as well as controls designed to mitigate dust emissions from mineral waste facilities. Unless otherwise
stated, these actions are ongoing in nature and the scope and design of actions vary by site and operational context, but address impacts arising from the Company’s own operations, including impacts
experienced by surrounding affected communities. Actions are supported by site-level operational resources, dedicated personnel and monitoring systems, and are implemented in accordance with
applicable regulatory requirements and site-specific environmental management programs. The effectiveness of dust mitigation measures is assessed through continuous air-quality monitoring,
comparison of results against regulatory thresholds and historical baselines, and periodic review of monitoring outcomes by site management teams.
Site specific implementation
At Candelaria, dust emissions are managed through the implementation of a site-specific emissions reduction plan, with a particular focus on open pit operations aimed at reducing its particulate
matter (PM10) footprint. Digital monitoring systems are used to measure dust levels in near real time through sensors installed on haul trucks and water trucks operating in the open pit, enabling
targeted dust suppression when threshold levels are exceeded. In addition, a dust dispersion forecasting process has been implemented to identify optimal blasting times and minimise community
impacts.
At Caserones, dust emissions are managed through a combination of engineering and administrative controls. Measures include dust suppression systems on conveyors and crushing equipment, belt
sealing and enclosures, road watering programs, industrial cleaning activities, preventative maintenance of dust control systems and emission control testing.
At Chapada, air quality monitoring equipment and climate data software are used to identify and monitor zones most exposed to dust impacts. Primary mitigation measures include the use of water
trucks and the analysis of data from air quality monitoring stations to inform operational controls. To support effective management, the site has established a multidisciplinary dust committee
comprising representatives from the operations, infrastructure, environment and social performance functions. The committee meets monthly, increasing to biweekly during the dry season, to review
monitoring results, assess the effectiveness of mitigation measures and identify opportunities for improvement. During 2025, Chapada also completed an atmospheric dispersion study that identified
unpaved roads and crushing and loading areas as the main sources of dust emissions and informed the selection of additional mitigation controls.
Resources
The Company allocates financial, human and operational resources through its annual budgeting and operational planning processes to manage and mitigate material dust-related impacts identified
through the DMA. Human resources included are dedicated social performance and personnel at site and corporate levels, supported by specialist functions where required. Actions implemented
during the reporting period included site-level dust monitoring and mitigation measures, with associated expenditures monitored as part of routine operational controls. While expenditures related to
dust-mitigation actions are tracked at the site level, these costs are integrated within broader operational budgets and are therefore not separately disclosed on a quantitative basis in this Sustainability
Statement.
14 Lundin Mining identifies and assesses the impact of incidents through its Sustainability Incident Management Standard. Sustainability incidents are classified based on a five-tier scale, from level 1
incidents that are common in the normal course of operations and present minimal social or environmental impacts, to level 5 incidents that present immediate, wide-spread, and significant social or
environmental impacts.
15  The air pollution metric excludes Discontinued Operations (Eagle, Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan) because these are underground mines.  The Vicuña Project is a developing asset with limited impacts
to air pollution, therefore excluded.
107
Targets related to pollution of air
LMC has not developed consolidated long-term targets  related to air-pollution, as it is in the process of establishing a standardized methodology to consolidate information on air pollution. LMC
manages this topic by tracking effectiveness of policies and actions, in addition to site objectives and company-wide annual performance objectives. All operations have individual objectives for air
quality, on the basis of their regulatory requirements all of which vary for each mine site. Compliance is verified by local or regional authorities. In addition, stakeholders and affected communities can
use the sites’ grievance management system as a tool to report environmental and social issues concerning LMC’s operations.
Company-wide performance objectives are approved by the HRCC (with input from the SSTC as appropriate) and, insofar as they apply to the CEO, by the Board. The performance objective  related to
pollution of air is embedded in our commitment to improve incident management at sites. In 2025, LMC’s performance objective was zero level 3 or above sustainability incidents 14. This objective,
specific to pollution of air, was achieved as there were no level 3 or above sustainability incidents related to air quality or dust management reported.
Metrics related to pollution of air 15
Ambient air quality is monitored at Candelaria, Caserones and Chapada as part of their regulatory requirements.  Only Candelaria and Caserones have mandatory air quality monitoring stations in key
community locations as determined by their environmental impact assessments. Chapada is required to conduct air quality monitoring at locations surrounding the mine complex. In Chile and Brazil,
ambient air quality thresholds are set in national authorities with the objective of preventing harmful ecological impacts due to air emissions in surrounding environment and health impacts in local
communities. Authorities recognize the local context of ambient air quality for each mine site and meeting thresholds are the responsibility of each mine site.
For example, Copiapó has been declared a “saturated zone for PM10” and this is considered in Candelaria’s specific environmental permits, emission thresholds values and monitoring requirements.
Data from community monitoring stations represent the cumulative emissions of a range of sources of PM10 in addition to our operations, including from other mining and industrial operations, vehicle
movements, fires and natural emissions where land has sparse vegetation cover.

Metrics methodologies and assumptions
- PM10 measurements and monitoring frequency were based on the applicable local permits/regulations of each Operation. Each Operation uses a third-party to conduct the air quality monitoring
program in compliance with local regulation.
- Monitoring stations comply with the technical requirements established for the installation, operation, and maintenance of air quality and meteorological measurement equipment.
- The monitoring stations were selected based on their proximity (nearest) to population centers where the operation is required to conduct air‑quality monitoring under applicable environmental
regulations and permits. These monitoring stations represent the relevant locations for the material impact associated with this metric.
- Candelaria measurements were direct and discrete (every three days) throughout the year, employing gravimetry as the measurement methodology and using a discrete particulate matter sampler
as the monitoring instrument. Concentration values were normalized (μg/m3N). Reporting frequency to local regulator is quarterly.
- Caserones measurements are direct and continuous (every hour) throughout the year, employing a particulate analyzer as the measurement methodology and using an analyzer sampler as the
monitoring instrument. Concentration values were normalized (μg/m3N). Reporting frequency to local regulator is quarterly.
- Chapada measurements are direct and continuous (every hour) throughout the year, employing a particulate analyzer that uses laser detection. Reporting frequency to local regulator is annual.
- There were no changes in the corresponding metrics or underlying measurement methodologies, significant assumptions, limitations, sources and processes to collect data adopted during 2025.
- The metrics are not validated by any external body other than the assurance provider.

Water and Marine Resources (ESRS E3)
Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model
Water is a material topic for Lundin Mining due to the Company’s operational reliance on water for mining and mineral processing activities and the potential impacts of its operations on water resources
within surrounding environments. The Company operates in regions where water is a shared and, in some cases, scarce resource, requiring careful management to avoid adverse effects on water
availability, water quality, and ecosystems used by other stakeholders.
Mining activities may alter natural hydrological conditions through infrastructure such as dams, reservoirs, and water diversion systems, which can result in short- and long-term changes to local water
flows and ecosystems if not effectively managed. Discharges from operations also have the potential to affect localized water quality where controls are insufficient. These impacts are managed through
site-specific water management systems and regulatory permitting requirements, which establish conditions for water use, discharge, and environmental protection throughout the life of mine.
In parallel, the Company is exposed to external water-related risks beyond its direct control, including competition for shared water resources within watersheds and variability in water availability and
quality driven by climatic conditions and the activities of other users. Prolonged periods of drought in water-stressed regions, such as the Atacama region, may constrain water availability and require
operational adaptations to maintain production and compliance. Conversely, increasingly intense precipitation events may elevate flooding risks and place additional demands on water management
infrastructure. These physical risks may be exacerbated by climate change.
Description and assessment of water and marine resources impacts, risks and opportunities
The material IROs related to water and marine resources have been identified through the DMA. The materiality assessment is discussed under General Information. Refer to the Material impacts, risks
and opportunities section for details about our process to identify material IROs. The table below includes the description of the material IROs related to water and marine resources for Lundin Mining.
We also conduct systematic assessments of water-related risks, including through routine stakeholder engagement and formal grievance mechanisms. This enables our operations to track current and
emerging risks, prioritize controls required to reduce those risks to an acceptable level, and elevate the key issues as appropriate to the ERC and the Board.

Our policies and approach
Governance policies
Relation to the sustainability topic
Approach
RMP, RMMS
The policies and management systems described below are designed
to prevent and mitigate the material impacts and financial risks related to
water and marine resources identified, including potential pressures on
freshwater availability, risks of water pollution, and financial risks
associated with the extraction and use of marine water resources. The
scope of these policies and related management measures aligns with the
value-chain boundary of the identified impacts and risks, which primarily
relate to Lundin Mining’s own operations, including sites located in water-
stressed regions.
The Company’s RMP and RMMS establish the governance framework for
managing material IROs related to water and marine resources. Together,
these instruments set expectations for water stewardship, including
responsible water sourcing, efficient water use, water treatment and
discharge management, and engagement with stakeholders in water-
stressed or sensitive areas.
The RMP publicly commits the Company to protecting water resources and
to managing water-related risks across its operated assets throughout the
mining life cycle. The RMMS governs corporate- and site-level processes
for identifying, assessing and managing water-related risks, including
compliance with site-specific water permits, monitoring obligations and
environmental performance requirements.
The Company’s approach to water management includes actions designed to reduce
reliance on freshwater resources, enhance water recycling and reuse, and mitigate
potential impacts on surrounding water bodies and ecosystems. Key elements of the
approach include:
- Minimizing consumption of freshwater and maximizing reuse
- Sourcing all operational make-up water at Candelaria (including Ojos del Salado)
from the desalination facility
- Maintaining updated site-wide water balance models to track water and as a
decision-making tool
- Monitoring to ensure protection of the resource and early detection of potential
impacts
- Establishing dedicated water steering committees at relevant sites to address water
impacts
- Undertaking aquatic life and ecosystem assessments at key sites to ensure
ecosystem health
- Undertaking extensive water monitoring programs
- Complying with water abstraction and discharge licence conditions, as well as
applicable standards, regulations and permitting processes
In addition, mines collaborate with stakeholders on water management issues including:
- Participating in relevant stakeholder forums and identifying opportunities for
dialogue and collaboration
- Engaging key stakeholders to discuss watershed issues and opportunities
- Integrating routine engagement and formal grievance mechanisms into our
assessment of risk
Tracking of
implementation and
effectiveness
The effectiveness of the policies and management system in managing the identified water and marine resource impacts and risks is monitored through a combination
of operational performance tracking, internal reviews and, where applicable, regulatory inspections. Site level water performance data, including withdrawals,
consumption, discharges and related incidents, are reviewed through established governance processes, with oversight by management and reporting to relevant Board
committees. These monitoring activities support the identification of non-conformances and the implementation of corrective actions where required.

Corporate Water Management Standard: Our Water Management Standard, requires all sites to develop water management plans consistent with their development stage, comply with regulatory
requirements, address site-specific IROs, implement industry current best practices and foster continuous improvement. The water management plan’s objectives are to:
- meet all relevant legal and other requirements
- assess cumulative effects on water quality and water resources and disclose results, as appropriate, with local stakeholders
- evaluate and manage adverse environmental and social impacts associated with surface water and groundwater use
- reduce the potential for undesirable water-related incidents using a risk-management approach
- identify processes to effectively respond to water-related incidents, non-compliances, emergencies and stakeholder grievances and concerns
- assess water use efficiency and implement measurable improvements to prevent unnecessary pressure on water resources
- monitor, interpret and report on water-related data under GRI 303, 2018.
Refining our Water Data: Ongoing refinement of our site water balances and hydrogeological models, coupled with detailed evaluation of onsite and environmental water quality and key aquatic health
data, is an important aspect of our water management strategy. These data contribute to our understanding of the status of the aquatic ecosystems downstream of our operations and inform the
development of water management alternatives.
Actions and resources related to water and marine resource during the year
During 2025, the Company advanced water-management initiatives to improve its understanding of water-related challenges associated with its operations and to assess its overall water-risk profile.
Actions undertaken during the reporting period were primarily focused on (i) reducing freshwater withdrawals, (ii) minimizing impacts on water resources, and (iii) engaging stakeholders in shared
watersheds. Unless otherwise stated, these actions are ongoing, the scope and design of actions vary by site and reflect local hydrological conditions, regulatory requirements and the nature of site-
specific water-related impacts on the environment and surrounding communities. The effectiveness of water-management actions is assessed through site-level water balances, continuous monitoring
of withdrawals, discharges and groundwater levels, comparison against regulatory thresholds and permit conditions, and periodic review of monitoring outcomes by site management and regulators
where applicable.
The Company operates in regions subject to varying levels of water risk, including locations classified as having high-water stress, as defined by the Water Resources Institute ("WRI") Aqueduct Water
Risk Atlas. Operations located in such regions maintain site-specific water management approaches to address risks related to water availability, quality and dependence on shared water resources.
LMC’s operations in areas with water stress, including areas of high-water stress, are described below:

Neves-Corvo is located in a region with drought risk. Neves-Corvo was sold in April 2025 and is reported as a discontinued operation. Water-related impacts and risks associated with Neves-Corvo are
disclosed only in respect of the period during which the asset was owned and operated by the Company during the reporting year. References to Neves-Corvo reflect historical conditions and site
characteristics during the period of ownership and are not indicative of current operations or ongoing management by the Company. No actions, objectives or resources are attributed to Neves-Corvo
following the completion of the transaction.
LMC seeks to manage water at operational sites effectively by maintaining a water balance and understanding how it relates to the cumulative impact of other users and setting contextual water 
objectives for sites with material water-related risks. By managing, treating, and recycling water responsibly, we can mitigate risks to surrounding water areas. Ensuring that water, like our other assets,
is utilized in an efficient manner is also a business-critical issue. Our operations maintain focus on water management, particularly at sites located in regions with higher water risk. These locations
require site-specific strategies that emphasize water recycling, advanced treatment, and reuse to reduce freshwater withdrawals. Our actions follow the mitigation hierarchy, aiming to avoid and reduce
the use of marine resources, reclaim and reuse water, and restore and regenerate aquatic ecosystems and water bodies.
Reducing freshwater intake
Areas at water risk including areas of high-water stress: Given that water-related risks contribute to the risk profile of our operations and our business, each operation profiles the overall water risk
and baseline water stress of their withdrawal source and discharge catchments with reference to the WRI Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas. The total consumption in areas with water risk, including areas of
high-water stress, for 2025 was 23,949,695 m3.
At Candelaria, where water resources are limited, the operation addresses water use through the operation of a desalination facility, ongoing groundwater monitoring within the Copiapó aquifer and high
levels of water recycling and reuse. Candelaria also supports communities with water infrastructure initiatives.
114
At Caserones, a hydrogeological monitoring program is in place to ensure that groundwater extraction remains within forecast ranges defined by the site’s numerical groundwater model. This action
aims to minimize the use of water resources in the Copiapó River Valley, an area of elevated water risk. The site also maintains an action plan to increase water recovery from its tailings storage facilities,
including initiatives to improve the sand-to-slimes ratio with the objective of reducing freshwater demand.
Minimizing impacts
Chapada maintains a positive water balance driven by rainfall and groundwater inflows. An acid rock drainage (ARD) management strategy has been implemented based on a site-wide water-balance
model, geochemical characterisation and monitoring programs. An environmental and water-monitoring centre operates on a 24-hour / seven days per week basis to support the management of runoff
and seepage. During 2025, construction of a water treatment plant for water collected from tailings-seepage systems was completed. The site continues to evaluate measures to manage excess water
and reduce water accumulation in open pits.
The environmental and water monitoring centre enhances the site’s monitoring practices. In addition, a Water Resources Management Plan was submitted to the environmental agency (SEMAD) as part
of the unified Chapada license process. The plan was approved and implemented for monitoring surface water, groundwater, effluents and sediments. The location of the measurement points, as well
as the monitoring frequency and parameters, were established. Chapada continuously evaluates activities to manage excess water and reduce the volume of water accumulated in the pits, including
expanding the treatment and discharge capacity. 
Candelaria assesses the potential for impacts associated with the seawater intake and discharge at its desalination facility, undertaking routine marine monitoring programs to enable early detection of
any changes to aquatic populations and regularly engaging with communities, universities and industry groups. Impacts on the marine populations have not been identified to date.
At Ojos del Salado (part of the Candelaria complex), in July 2022, the formation of a sinkhole near the underground Alcaparrosa Mine was associated with groundwater from the Copiapó aquifer entering
the mine. The mine ceased operations immediately. Candelaria has continued to work with regulators and local authorities, ensuring that the water ingress area, which was sealed with concrete walls in
2022, continues to be effective in isolating the sector inside the mine. The water level in the aquifer has returned to pre-July 2022 trend levels. Ojos del Salado continues to develop water infrastructure
projects in the impacted area to strengthen access to rural potable water and wastewater systems in communities surrounding the mine.
Engaging with stakeholders in shared watersheds
Our operations regularly collaborate and develop partnerships to further the research and scientific understanding of their local aquatic habitats. Candelaria works with the National Oceanographic
Committee ("CONA") and commissions universities to conduct marine monitoring. Opportunities for meaningful engagement with communities on water-related matters are also valued by our
operations, with examples including the community monitoring program at Eagle and Candelaria’s engagement with fishing communities in the Caldera region.
In accordance with permitting requirements, Candelaria provides water from its desalination facility for agricultural use in Copiapó Valley. The operation is currently working with the authorities to set up
permanent networks to supply these communities. Similarly, Caserones is required to arrange for third-party desalinated water to be provided to local communities.
The Company recognizes that contact water runoff may affect local watercourses. Metal concentrations above surface water quality standards have been detected on occasion during routine
monitoring in the Rio dos Bois, down-gradient of the Chapada operation. Some members of the local community have continued to express concern regarding water quality in local water courses and
potential impacts on public health, livestock and fish. Chapada is addressing these concerns through routine monitoring supplemented with focused technical studies, implementation of water
management initiatives, along with engagement with local communities and authorities.
16 Lundin Mining identifies and assesses the impact of incidents through its Sustainability Incident Management Standard. Sustainability incidents are classified based on a five-tier scale, from level 1
incidents that are common in the normal course of operations and present minimal social or environmental impacts, to level 5 incidents that present immediate, wide-spread, and significant social or
environmental impacts.
115
Resources
The Company allocates financial, human and operational resources through its annual budgeting and operational planning processes to manage and mitigate material water-related impacts identified
through the DMA. Human resources included are dedicated social performance personnel at site and Corporate levels, supported by specialist functions where required. Operational resources support
the implementation of water-management actions, including site-level monitoring, operational controls and mitigation measures, with associated expenditures tracked as part of routine operational
budgets.
Expenditures related to individual water-management actions are integrated within broader site operating budgets and are therefore not separately disclosed on a quantitative basis in this Sustainability
Statement.
Targets related to water and marine resources
LMC has not developed consolidated long-term targets related to water and marine resources. Management of this topic is embedded within the Company’s governance framework and is addressed
through the implementation of policies, site-level management and ongoing monitoring of performance through company-wide annual performance objectives. All operations have individual objectives
for water management, on the basis of their regulatory requirements all of which vary for each mine site. Compliance is verified by local or regional authorities.
Company-wide performance objectives are approved by the HRCC (with input from the SSTC as appropriate) and, insofar as they apply to the CEO, by the Board. The performance objective  related to
water and marine resources is embedded in our commitment to improve incident management at sites. In 2025, LMC’s performance objective was zero level 3 or above sustainability incidents 16 as well
as advancement of the water management plan at Chapada. This objective, specific to water, was achieved as there were no level 3 incidents related to water in 2025 and the Company successfully
advanced water management plan at Chapada by completing its water treatment plant ahead of schedule.
Metrics related to water and marine resources
Our sites rely on a range of sources for their operational and potable water needs. Annual precipitation and evapotranspiration patterns strongly influence how water is managed. Some operations have
excess water due to higher precipitation, while others have seasonal variations or arid conditions. A significant proportion of rainfall and snowmelt received by our sites is necessarily managed but not
used.  We supplement recycled process water from our tailings and leach facilities with desalinated water, groundwater from wellfields, groundwater inflows to mine workings and meteoric water that
falls on the sites.

Metrics methodologies and assumptions
- Water consumption: The amount of water drawn into the boundaries of the undertaking (or facility) and not discharged back to the water environment or a third party over the course of the reporting
period.  This aligns with International Council on Mining and Metals ("ICMM") total consumption definition: all water that is removed by evaporation, entrainment (in product or waste) or other losses,
and not released back to surface water, groundwater, seawater or a third party. Includes water that has been stored during the reporting period for use or discharge in a subsequent reporting period.
- Total water consumption = total withdrawal - total discharge - (+/- change in storage), where total withdrawal = operational water withdrawal + other managed water withdrawal.
- Water consumed in satellite offices is not considered material and is excluded.
- Water risk: Area at high water risk is determined according to WRI Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas - 'Overall Water Risk' is high (3-4) or extremely high (4-5). WRI definition: "Overall water risk measures all
water-related risks, by aggregating all selected indicators from the Physical Quantity, Quality and Regulatory & Reputational Risk categories. Higher values indicate higher water risk"Water stress:
Area of high-water stress is determined according to WRI Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas - 'Water Stress' is high (40-80%) or extremely high (>80%).  Areas classified as "Arid and Low Water Use" are also
included.
- There were no changes in the corresponding metrics or underlying measurement methodologies, significant assumptions, limitations, sources and processes to collect data adopted during 2025.
- The metrics are not validated by any external body other than the assurance provider.

- Total freshwater withdrawal was dominated by precipitation capture, predominantly at Chapada, natural groundwater infiltration into our mines and the use of freshwater wells by some operations.
- Water withdrawal  for operational purposes was primarily sourced from collected precipitation, followed by seawater and lastly groundwater. 
- Most third-party water sources include desalinated water supplied by Caserones to local communities and potable water provided for employees and contractors. For water quality, seawater
abstraction at Candelaria’s desalination facility dominated the ‘other water’ category of withdrawals, with smaller contributions from Caserones’ provision of third-party desalinated water for
community use and the moisture that is naturally present in the ore entering our mills for processing (i.e., groundwater entrained in ore).

- The mines at Candelaria are zero-discharge operations. Caserones is also a zero-discharge operation, only supplying withdrawn groundwater and third-party desalinated water for community use.
Eagle discharges treated water to the local surface water course at the mill site and through infiltration beds to groundwater at the mine site, under licence.
- Our total discharge over the last three years has been dominated by discharge to surface water and to the sea and at Caserones it is characterized as third-party return for community use Discharge
volumes vary according to factors including the quantity of ore milled, precipitation levels and volumes managed for environmental purposes.
- Discharge to the sea slightly increased in 2025 due to the higher seawater volumes withdrawn for desalination by Candelaria.
- Discharge to surface water was dominated in recent years by runoff and seepage from Chapada’s waste rock stockpiles due to the high rainfall and large surface areas involved. These volumes have
steadily decreased because of site works to intercept increasing volumes of surface water runoff for management in the operational water systems. By the end of 2025, all waste rock dump runoff
and seepage were intercepted and the discharge of ‘Other water’ quality from the site reduced accordingly.
- Following processing at Candelaria’s desalination facility, desalinated seawater is pumped to the mine, with the brine produced from the process being returned to the sea. As a result, Candelaria
dominates Lundin Mining’s total ‘Other water’ quality discharge.

The incidents of Continuing Operations are associated with uncontrolled discharges for which the site implemented corrective actions to prevent future events. For Discontinued Operations, the
incidents related to emergency discharges and overflow from a discharge pond. 
Metrics methodologies and assumptions
- Discharge limits were based on Sites' water effluent quality parameters defined  in their water discharge environmental permits and/or applicable local regulations.
- Water discharge: sum of effluents, used water, and unused water released to surface water, groundwater, seawater, or a third party, for which the  Company has no further use, over the course of
the reporting period (as defined by GRI). Note that water can be released into the receiving waterbody either at a defined discharge point (point-source discharge) or dispersed over land in an
undefined manner(non-point-source discharge). Also, water discharge can be authorized or unauthorized.
- Effluent: treated or untreated wastewater that is discharged (as defined by GRI).
- There were no changes in the underlying measurement methodologies, significant assumptions, limitations, sources and processes to collect data adopted during 2025.
- The metrics are not validated by any external body other than the assurance provider.

Biodiversity and Ecosystems (ESRS E4)
Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model
Large scale mining operations (including those of Lundin Mining) and their value chains may give rise to impacts and risks related to biodiversity and ecosystems, reflecting the land-use requirements of
large-scale mining activities. As a producer of base metals, with copper production primarily located in Chile and Brazil, the Company operates predominantly in regions assessed as having  lower
biodiversity sensitivity, with limited overlap with designated protected areas.
Biodiversity considerations are integrated into the Company’s business model through environmental impact assessments, land-use planning, and site-specific environmental permitting processes,
which establish requirements to manage and mitigate potential impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems throughout the life of mine. Compliance with these regulatory requirements, together with
operational environmental management systems, forms a key control framework for mitigating adverse biodiversity impacts.
Biodiversity and ecosystems have been identified as a material topic through the Company’s DMA. In accordance with the phase-in provisions (“quick fix”) permitted under the ESRS, the Company has
applied transitional relief in relation to certain detailed quantitative biodiversity metrics for the reporting year. Disclosures for the reporting year are presented in summary form. During the reporting
period, the Company has prioritised the identification and management of material biodiversity-related impacts, risks and dependencies through permitting, environmental impact assessments,
avoidance and mitigation measures, and incident management. The Company will continue to enhance its biodiversity reporting, including the development of more standardised quantitative metrics,
as methodologies mature and data availability improves.
Description and assessment of material Biodiversity and ecosystems impacts, risks and opportunities
The material IROs related to biodiversity and ecosystems have been identified through the DMA. The materiality assessment is discussed under General Information. Refer to the Material impacts, risks
and opportunities section for details about our process to identify material IROs. The table below includes the description of the material IROs related to biodiversity and ecosystems for Lundin Mining.

Approach
RMP, RMMS
The policies and management system described are designed to prevent,
mitigate and manage the material impacts and financial risks related to
biodiversity and ecosystems, including impacts associated with land use
change, disturbance to habitats and species, and biodiversity-related permitting
and closure obligations.
The scope of these policies and related management measures aligns with the
value-chain boundary of the identified impacts and risks, which primarily relate
to Lundin Mining’s own operations, including activities located in proximity to
biodiversity-sensitive areas.
The RMP, addresses biodiversity management, promoting environmental
stewardship throughout the mining life cycle, emphasizing the responsible
management of natural resources, including biodiversity. 
Our operational sites prepare and update biodiversity action plans and identify
biodiversity IROs to inform the development of site-level operational plans, in
alignment with our RMMS. Management of deforestation and habitat loss is
addressed directly by the mine sites in their management plans.
Our objectives for biodiversity management include integrating biodiversity-related
information and management systems, undertaking baseline studies to document conditions
prior to the development of new mines or significant expansions beyond a mine’s current
footprint, and monitoring the effectiveness of our biodiversity management programs.
Operations conduct routine flora, fauna and aquatic surveys, as appropriate, to identify
species of interest and to monitor habitat health, biodiversity and any changes that could
potentially be attributable to our operations. Supplementary surveys are undertaken
periodically to support new permit applications for extensions of a mine site footprint, with
relocation programs for selected species where required.
Tracking of
implementation and
effectiveness
The effectiveness of the policies and management systems in managing the identified biodiversity and ecosystem impacts and risks is monitored through a combination of site-
level environmental performance tracking, internal reviews and regulatory oversight. Information related to biodiversity management, incidents and compliance with
environmental permits is reviewed through established governance processes, with oversight by management and reporting to relevant Board committees as appropriate. These
monitoring activities support the identification of non-conformances and the implementation of corrective actions where required.
Other supporting systems:
Each site defines biodiversity practices in accordance with the RMP and the legal requirements of the jurisdiction in which it operates. Some sites also implement additional frameworks or approaches
to support their biodiversity approach in alignment with the RMP.
Candelaria has a biodiversity strategy and a biodiversity impact assessment as part of its EIA process. The site complies with the biodiversity monitoring process outlined in its environmental permits.
Eagle conducts annual flora, fauna, aquatic surveys, and threatened and endangered species assessments at both the mine and mill sites, including surrounding areas. These results are compared
against baseline surveys to determine if any changes have occurred that could be the result of mining operations. Environmental site assessments were also completed during the mining permit
application process, including evaluations of impacts on wildlife, aquatics and their associated habitats.

Actions and resources related to biodiversity and ecosystems during the year
During the reporting period, the Company implemented site-specific actions as part of their ongoing management and mitigation of impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems.
At Candelaria, actions focused on marine biodiversity management associated with port and desalination activities. The operation also maintained marine rehabilitation programs aimed at supporting
the sustainable use and management of marine areas within its area of influence. Candelaria also continued its participation in the National Oceanographic Committee (CONA), collaborating with
academic and public institutions to support marine monitoring and information sharing. In addition, following the 2022 sinkhole, which impacted tree specimens, Candelaria has an ongoing monitoring
and maintenance requirement for compensatory replanting. The effectiveness of biodiversity and ecosystems-related actions is assessed through site-specific monitoring programs, including species
surveys, habitat condition indicators, survival rates of replanted vegetation, incident tracking and periodic review against permit conditions.
Caserones also has various ongoing activities to avoid impact to wildlife. “Slow for the fauna” is a campaign to raise awareness among drivers about the importance of driving in a high mountain
environment with the presence of native and domestic fauna. The campaign is delivered in places with significant numbers of workers and provides recommendations and preventive measures to avoid
harm to wildlife. The effectiveness is measured through surveys of employees and the number of incidents associated with wildlife collisions.  The site also provides veterinarian support for affected
wildlife.
Chapada’s biodiversity actions are informed by the site’s location within a cerrado aberto baixo, or a low, open, savannah region of Brazil. Prior to the development of the mine, the land was zoned as a
legal reserve. When the zoning was changed to permit mining, the legal reserve was relocated approximately 23 km north of the site; this 1,650-hectare forest reserve is managed by Chapada as an
environmental education centre.
Chapada carries out regular surveys to monitor terrestrial fauna.  The site monitors birds, mammals, amphibians and insects within directly affected areas, supervising progress with two main indexes:
species richness (total number of species in a sampling unit), and Shannon diversity (relationship between the richness and relative abundance of species). Chapada also monitors the aquatic biota to
maintain an updated database and support informed decision-making based on any detected changes. The site continued its implementation of a program to identify and manage contaminated areas.
The program, aims to identify possible areas with contaminated soils in accordance with the CONAMA 20 420/2009, which outlines criteria and guiding values for soil quality. If the mapping process
detects the presence of metals in the evaluated soils, a human health and ecological risk assessment will be conducted, accompanied by a remediation plan.
Eagle collaborated with the Superior Watershed Partnership in the Northern Restoration Demonstration Area on property near its mine site. The project aims to determine the plant species that can
survive and enhance habitat diversity on Eagle-owned property to be reclaimed at mine closure. Additionally, the site has an invasive species control initiative that involves releasing targeted weevils to
manage invasive plants. The expected outcome is a multi-year decline in invasive plant presence.
The Vicuña Project has an ongoing collaboration with the National University of San Juan to protect plant diversity near the site. Vicuña provides the university with funding for collecting, recording and
studying plant diversity, and this partnership is helping to create a bank for seeds and plant tissues to use in important flora restoration in the area and possible future reclamation activities for the
project. It also provides university students with a unique opportunity to deepen their knowledge on Andean species that they might not otherwise have access to studying.
Biodiversity compensation measures were used in Candelaria. Caserones, Chapada and Eagle did not have any biodiversity compensation measures in their action plans.
Candelaria implemented biodiversity compensation  measures to address identified residual impacts on native vegetation and shrub species of conservation concern associated with mining-related
infrastructure and operations in the Tierra Amarilla district, Chile. The site produces native trees and shrubs that are in a state of conservation, with the objective of compensating for 100% of affected
21 Lundin Mining identifies and assesses the impact of incidents through its Sustainability Incident Management Standard. Sustainability incidents are classified based on a five-tier scale, from level 1
incidents that are common in the normal course of operations and present minimal social or environmental impacts, to level 5 incidents that present immediate, wide-spread, and significant social or
environmental impacts. As it pertains to biodiversity, level 3 incidents are defined as incidents with moderate degradation of natural resources in nearby areas (2 – 5 years to rehabilitate); resulting in
reversible impacts.

specimens. The measures consist of in-kind ecological compensation implemented in accordance with approved environmental permits, including area-based reforestation of native forest and species-
specific replacement of affected shrubs using regionally native species. A total native forest area of approximately 10 hectares has been established through compensatory planting. Monitoring results
demonstrate that survival rates for native tree plantations met or exceeded the 75% regulatory threshold at the conclusion of mandated monitoring periods. For shrub species classified under
conservation categories (Pintoa chilensis and Krameria cistoidea), compensation was implemented at a minimum 1:3 replacement ratio, with total plantings exceeding minimum replacement
requirements. Compliance with  obligations is assessed against replacement and monitoring criteria defined in the applicable environmental approvals. Ongoing monitoring and maintenance activities
continue beyond minimum regulatory requirements where applicable.
Local and Indigenous knowledge and nature-based solutions have not been systematically incorporated into biodiversity-related actions during the reporting period. The Company recognises the
potential value of such approaches and will continue to assess opportunities for their inclusion where appropriate and relevant to site contexts.
Resources
Financial and human resources to manage biodiversity-related impacts are allocated through the company’s annual budgeting and operational planning processes. Spending on reclamation and
closure activities is expected to occur primarily at the end of each mine’s operating life. Information on reclamation costs is disclosed in the Note 15, Note 3, and Cash Flow Statement (page 5) of the
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Targets related to biodiversity and ecosystems
LMC has not developed consolidated long-term targets related to biodiversity. Management of this topic is embedded within the Company’s governance framework and is addressed through the
implementation of policies, site-level management and ongoing monitoring of performance through company-wide annual performance objectives. All operations have individual objectives for
biodiversity on the basis of their regulatory requirements all of which vary for each mine site. Compliance is verified by local or regional authorities.
Company-wide performance objectives are approved by the HRCC (with input from the SSTC as appropriate) and, insofar as they apply to the CEO, by the Board.  The performance objective  related to
biodiversity is embedded in our commitment to improve incident management at sites. In 2025, LMC’s performance objective was zero level 3 or above sustainability incidents 21. In 2025, sites reported
two level 3 incidents involving biodiversity. These incidents both related to unauthorized removal of vegetation which included specimens considered protected or vulnerable by local regulations. In both
cases, the incident did not impact the local flora population. The cases were reported to local authorities and replanting took place as a mitigation measure.   
22 Sites have identified their biodiversity sensitive areas within a 50 km radius of their operations.
23In line with ESRS requirements, the area disclosed corresponds exclusively to the total area of the sites and is not intended to represent the biodiversity sensitive area.

Los Diques Tailings Storage Facility and the advancement of the North Waste Dump. While the affected area is small, it is considered environmentally sensitive due to the presence of priority
habitats and species of conservation concern. The site has implemented prevention, minimization, restoration and compensation measures according with its  Environmental Qualification
Resolution (RCA) to address the biodiversity impacts  identified. Measures include rescuing and relocation of cacti, safeguarding seeds and bulbs of flora species, regular cleaning and maintenance
of the area impacted and a targeted study aimed at detecting and identifying  native cactus species (Copiapoa megarhiza, Pyrrhocactus confinis, and Pintoa chilensis).
- At the Vicuña Project, the San Guillermo Biosphere Reserve has been recognized by UNESCO as being of high importance for the conservation of ecological processes and sustainable
development. Additionally, the project’s buffer zone also overlaps with other relevant protected areas such as the Laguna Brava Provincial Reserve (Argentina) and the Los Huascoaltinos Private
Nature Reserve (Chile), both of which are also recognized by the RAMSAR Convention and International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as key biodiversity areas of global importance.
Vicuña is in the process of completing a biological baseline and undertakes  fauna and flora monitoring programs to mitigate  anticipated impacts, these programs are focused on relocation of
fauna and flora, as well as seed collection for conservation purposes.

Resource Use and Circular Economy (ESRS E5) - Waste and Tailings 
Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model
Lundin Mining’s operations generate mineral waste primarily in the form of waste rock and process tailings as an inherent outcome of ore extraction and processing activities. Waste rock is generated to
access mineralized ore and, depending on site-specific geological and operational conditions, is managed through use in on-site construction, or deposition in designated on-site waste rock stockpiles.
Tailings are produced during mineral processing and are managed predominantly through surface tailings storage facilities designed to contain and isolate tailings materials.
The generation and management of tailings and other mineral waste represent a material sustainability topic due to the potential for adverse environmental and social impacts if these materials are not
effectively managed during operations and throughout post-closure. Key environmental risks associated with mineral waste include acid rock drainage and metal leaching, which can occur when
sulphide-bearing materials are exposed to air and water and may adversely affect surface water and groundwater quality if not properly controlled. Surface tailings storage facilities also present inherent
safety and environmental risks, including the potential for structural failure, thereby requiring robust design, operation and monitoring.
In addition to mineral waste, Lundin Mining generates non-mineral waste streams associated with operational and support activities, which must be managed to mitigate potential environmental and
social impacts at and beyond its sites. As a mining company engaged in large-scale ore extraction, the Company’s most significant resource use and circular economy IROs arise from the generation and
long-term management of mineral and non-mineral wastes within the constraints of the mining life cycle. Resource efficiency and waste minimization practices are applied where feasible; however,
opportunities for circular material flows are inherently limited by the nature of mining operations and the characteristics of extracted materials and tailings.
Description and assessment of material resource use and circular economy impacts, risks and opportunities
The material IROs related to Resource Use and Circular Economy have been identified through the DMA. The materiality assessment is discussed under General Information. Refer to the Material
impacts, risks and opportunities section for details about our process to identify material IROs. The table below includes the description of the material IROs related to material use and circular
economy for Lundin Mining.

Relation to the sustainability topic
Approach
129
RMP, RMMS
The policies and management system described are designed to prevent, mitigate and
manage the material impacts and financial risks related to resource use and circular
economy, including impacts associated with the extraction and use of natural resources,
generation and management of mineral and non-mineral waste, and tailings management
risks. The scope of these policies and related management measures aligns with the value-
chain boundary of the identified impacts and risks, which primarily relate to Lundin Mining’s
own operations.
The Company’s RMP establishes the Company’s overarching commitment to responsible
resource stewardship throughout the mining life cycle. In relation to the identified resource-
use and circular-economy IROs, the RMP requires operations to manage the use of natural
resources efficiently, minimize waste generation where practicable, and manage waste and
tailings in a manner that seeks to reduce potential adverse environmental and social impacts.
The RMMS operationalizes the commitments set out in the RMP by providing a structured
framework to identify, assess, manage and monitor resource-use-related impacts and risks. In
the context of resource use and circular economy, the RMMS establishes minimum
requirements for site-level management of material inputs, waste and tailings, including risk
assessment, implementation of controls, monitoring of performance, and corrective actions
where required. This management system supports the management of both potential
environmental impacts and financial risks associated with inefficient resource use, waste
generation and tailings management.
The Company’s tailings governance framework provides a consistent approach to the
management of tailings-related risks, supported by multi-tiered oversight and clearly defined
roles and responsibilities across the organization.
Additional relevant information:
Our policies cover LMC’s business activities and apply to all individuals working at or for LMC.
All LMC employees are expected to acknowledge our policies by reading, understanding, and
following the policies.
To cover the impacts in our value chain we encourage our business partners to acknowledge
receipt of LMC’s RMP
Managing Mineral Wastes
Lundin Mining recognizes the importance of an integrated approach to mineral waste
management to identify and manage potential safety, environmental and social impacts.
All of Lundin Mining’s operations manage their tailings in accordance with the Corporate
Tailings Management Standard, and meet the requirements of the GISTM.
The Corporate Tailings Management Standard requires that for all tailings facilities
throughout the entire life cycle, from planning and design, construction, operation, closure,
and post-closure, implementation of leading practices
will be carried out to:
- Protect the health and safety of our people and host communities
- Minimize harm to the environment
- Ensure all aspects comply with Lundin Mining policies and standards and accepted
international practice
- Ensure all aspects comply with commitments to stakeholders
- Ensure leadership, personal commitment, and accountability from all employees,
consultants, and contractors is embedded throughout all aspects of tailings
management
In practice, LMC operations have established safety and environmental practices to
manage tailings storage facilities. Social performance teams at all sites work closely with
operational teams to manage tailings facility and waste rock stockpile-related impacts on
local communities.
Managing Non-mineral Wastes
Our operations purchase a wide range of raw materials and supplies that, in turn, result in
the generation of many different types of waste.
Management of these wastes is formalized through jurisdictional requirements and the
implementation of waste management plans. These plans specify how the different types
of waste produced by our activities are to be managed, including a focus on circularity
measures through identification of opportunities for waste minimization, recycling and
reuse. 
130
Tracking of
implementation
and effectiveness
The effectiveness of the policies and management systems in managing the identified resource-use and circular-economy impacts and risks is monitored through a combination of site-level
performance tracking, internal audits and governance reviews. Information related to resource use, waste and tailings performance is reviewed through established management processes,
with oversight by management and reporting to relevant Board committees as appropriate. These monitoring activities support the identification of non-conformances, the assessment of
control effectiveness, and the implementation of corrective actions where required.
Other supporting systems
Tailings governance
Lundin Mining’s oversight of all tailings facilities includes a three lines model. The first line starts with the operational management and engineering teams at the sites which includes a Responsible
Tailings Facility Engineer. At the corporate level, Lundin Mining has a specialized tailings team, which serves as a dedicated technical resource for the site operators and engineers and serves as the
second line. The corporate team provides technical leadership related to tailings management.  For assurance, the corporate team manages the ITRB program and works closely with the sites and
external Engineers of Record to facilitate the completion of any recommended actions in a timely manner. This team develops guidance and tools that support consistent implementation of the Tailings
Management Standard across the Company. The team also stays abreast of current and emerging technologies and leading international practices around tailings facility design and management. The
corporate team provides advice to the sites and supports the Accountable Executive by communicating on assurance activities and any findings as well as preparing reports to our Board and its
committees, as appropriate.  As a third line, the corporate team arranges audits to verify consistent implementation and conformance with the Tailings Management Standard including the relevant
management systems to ensure effectiveness.
Independent Tailings Review Boards
Lundin Mining’s Tailings Management Standard includes a requirement for regular independent third-party tailings review boards, which are recognized as a leading practice for effective tailings
management.  ITRBs have been established for all tailings facilities. In addition to the annual site visit, progress meetings with the ITRBs and Engineer of Record are completed throughout the year to
closely track progress made on outstanding recommendations.
Other
Our corporate Waste Rock and Ore Stockpile Facility Standard, supported by the RMMS, defines the minimum requirements and provides guidance to sites on expectations regarding the design,
construction and operation of mine waste and ore stockpiles.
Actions and resources related to waste and tailings during the year
During the reporting period, the Company implemented actions related to the management of tailings and waste to address its material IROs associated with resource use and circular economy. Actions
are grouped into mineral waste and non-mineral waste streams and form part of the Company’s ongoing waste and tailings management approach, which is expected to be ongoing , unless otherwise
stated. The scope of these actions covers LMC’s own operations and, where relevant, interfaces with affected communities and the value chain. The effectiveness of waste and tailings management
actions is assessed through compliance with regulatory requirements, conformance assessments against the GISTM, independent tailings review processes, incident reporting, and ongoing monitoring
of waste generation, diversion and disposal outcomes.
Mineral Wastes (Tailings Management)
Across Lundin Mining's operations as at December 31, 2025, the Company operated five active tailings facilities and uses the widely accepted method of surface tailings disposal. This involves
placement in engineered surface impoundments or, in the case of Eagle, in a previously mined open pit. Eagle Mine is the only operation that does not have a constructed tailings impoundment with
dams.
131
Across the other operations, the active tailings facilities use various construction techniques for the main and secondary or perimeter dams. Lundin Mining also maintains and monitors five inactive/
closed tailings facilities.
As per GISTM requirements, the status of all active and inactive tailings facilities has been updated.  All our operating sites as of December 31, 2025 have reported full conformance to the GISTM,
following the closure of the gaps at the inactive tailings facilities at Candelaria and the tailings facility at Eagle. During the reporting period, construction activities at the Chapada tailings storage facility
progressed, and all applicable regulatory milestones were met.   Additionally, ITRB reviews were completed at Candelaria, Caserones, Chapada and Eagle. 
Non-mineral Wastes
LMC’s operations undertake several ongoing initiatives to improve the management of non-mineral waste streams in line with regulatory requirements and internal objectives. The following initiatives are
representative examples of non-mineral waste management practices implemented across the Company’s operations during the reporting period.
Candelaria has implemented an ongoing waste reduction plan to reduce operational costs and support the application of circular economy principles using a waste-ranking matrix to prioritise reduction
and diversion actions. Supporting measures include a tire recycling initiative and broader waste management improvements across the operation. During 2025, tire recycling activities continued in
accordance with Chilean Recycling and Extended Producer Responsibility legislation, which establishes minimum collection and recycling obligations for tire importers. Waste transportation and
tracking are managed through the Puma Waste Contract Monitoring System, an automated registration and control system operated jointly with waste management contractors. Consistent with the
scale and nature of its operations, the Candelaria Complex represented the largest contributor to total waste generation.
Caserones, has an ongoing program aimed at extending the service life of large haul truck tires. Measures include early damage detection, regular monitoring and adjustment of tire pressure and
temperature, training for suppliers and contractors, and improvements to haul road conditions.
Resources
The Company allocates financial, human and operational resources and human resources through the Company’s annual budgeting and operational planning processes to manage and
mitigate material waste and tailings-related impacts identified through the DMA. Human resources included are dedicated social performance and personnel at site and corporate levels, supported by
specialist functions where required. During the reporting year, the Company has spent $97 million on tailings management. In 2026, the Company intends on spending approximately $100 million
on tailings management at Candelaria, Caserones and Chapada.
Targets related to resource use and circular economy
LMC has not developed consolidated long-term targets related to resource use and circular economy. Management of this topic is embedded within the Company’s governance framework and is
addressed through the implementation of policies, site-level management and ongoing monitoring of performance through Company-wide performance objectives. All operations have individual
objectives for waste and tailings management, on the basis of their regulatory requirements all of which vary for each mine site. Compliance is verified by local or regional authorities.
Company-wide performance objectives are approved by the HRCC and, insofar as they apply to the CEO, by the Board. The performance objective  related to resource use and circular economy is
embedded in our commitment to adoption and conformance of sites to the GISTM. This objective, specific to tailings, was achieved given 100% conformance at all sites.
Resource inflows
Material resource inflows related to LMC’s identified IROs include both primary and secondary raw materials, as well as associated process materials used across primarily copper mining and
processing operations. Primary raw materials consist mainly of copper-bearing ores extracted through open-pit and/or underground mining, along with overburden and waste rock. Secondary raw
132
materials include tailings, or other recovered materials that may be reintroduced into the production process. Mined rock is separated into ore and waste rock; the ore undergoes crushing, grinding, and
beneficiation (such as flotation) to produce copper concentrate, while waste rock is managed through designated waste rock facilities.

Metrics methodologies and assumptions
- Mineral wastes are materials left over after the extraction and processing of mineral resources. For Lundin Mining, these comprise waste rock and tailings. Heap leach material is not included in the
definition of waste until the heap leach operation ceases.
- Non-mineral wastes are any substance or object which the operation discards or intends or is required to discard.
- Waste rock that remains underground (not hoisted) or is stored temporarily on the surface and returned underground according to the mine plan is classified as 'waste diverted from disposal' as it is
reused for mine stabilization as opposed to disposed.
137
- Tailings that are treated in a tailings paste plant and returned underground are classified as 'waste diverted from disposal' as they reused for mine stabilisation as opposed to disposed.
- Waste rock that is used on the surface for works such as tailings facility embankment construction or road construction/maintenance is classified as 'waste diverted from disposal' as it is reused as
opposed to disposed.
- Each operation provides information regarding the designation of waste rock and tailings as hazardous or non-hazardous according to the jurisdiction in which they operate.
- Tailings data are based on direct measurements, calculations or a combination of the two, depending on the site.
- Quantitative data are reported separately by the operations for mineral wastes and non-mineral wastes for transparency and to facilitate data analysis. During corporate consolidation, the data are
summed to generate total Lundin Mining waste quantities across all operations.
- Each operation records non-mineral waste-related data to comply with the legal and regulatory requirements of the jurisdiction in which they operate. All operations report that they use
appropriately licensed waste management contractors and rely on waste quantities reported by them.
- Designation of waste types as hazardous or non-hazardous are allocated by the operations according to national waste codes.
- There is variation between operations as to how non-mineral wastes are described and allocated, depending on national requirements.
- Due diligence checks by operations regarding non-mineral wastes reaching their reported destinations are limited. For some operations this is addressed by comprehensive national waste tracking
systems (e.g. Chile). Other operations rely on licensed waste management contractor reporting.
- There were no changes in the underlying measurement methodologies, significant assumptions, limitations, sources and processes to collect data adopted during 2025.
- The metrics are not validated by any external body other than the assurance provider.

Metrics methodologies and assumptions
- Products and technical materials: Include key chemicals (e.g., H2SO4, Lime, NaOH, flocculant, oil, etc.) and supplies (e.g. tires, grinding balls, etc.) used for producing Lundin Mining's primary
products—copper, gold, and nickel.
- Biological material: A material derived from, or produced by, biological organisms like plants, animals, bacteria, fungi and other life forms (Source: Pennsylvania State University, 2026). Lundin
Mining operations involve the extraction and processing of inorganic mineral resources, and therefore the Company does not rely on biological materials in any significant way. Consequently,
biological materials have been excluded from the calculation.
- Mined ore is the main critical raw material for producing the Company's primary products—copper, gold, and nickel—during the 2025 reporting year.
- While ESRS guidance includes water as a resource inflow, the Company accounts for water management metrics separately under the water withdrawn/consumption metrics. In addition, disclosure
of water by weight is not a common metric for the Company nor for the mining and metals industry.
- There were no changes in the underlying measurement methodologies, significant assumptions, limitations, sources and processes to collect data adopted during 2025.
- The metrics are not validated by any external body other than the assurance provider.
24 References to capital expenditure (CapEx) in this section are as defined by the EU Taxonomy and may not align with other disclosures of capital expenditure by the Company.

EU Taxonomy
Introduction
The EU Taxonomy ("Taxonomy") aims to create transparency on environmentally sustainable activities for all stakeholders. This classification system requires companies to disclose the proportion of
turnover, capital expenditure 24 ("CapEx"), and operating expenditure 25 ("OpEx") associated with activities that align with the technical screening criteria of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 and its related
Delegated Acts, including Delegated Act (EU) 2026/73, as amended by the Omnibus Delegated Act. To be considered aligned, these activities must make a significant contribution to one of the
environmental objectives,  must not cause significant harm to any of the environmental objectives of the Taxonomy and must be carried out in accordance with the minimum safeguards. The
environmental objectives set out in the Taxonomy are:
1. Climate change mitigation ("CCM")
2. Climate change adaptation ("CCA")
3. Sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources ("WTR")
4. Transition to a circular economy ("CE")
5. Pollution prevention and control ("PPC")
6. Protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems ("BIO")
2025 is Lundin Mining's first year of reporting the EU Taxonomy. Therefore, comparative figures will not be presented.
EU taxonomy reporting at Lundin Mining
Lundin Mining is required to disclose to what extent its activities are covered by the Taxonomy (i.e. if they are Taxonomy-eligible), comply with the criteria set out in the Climate Delegated Acts (i.e. if they
are Taxonomy-aligned), as amended by the Omnibus Delegated Act , and the related revenue (turnover), CapEx, and OpEx amounts as KPIs.
For the reporting period, Lundin Mining has assessed the eligibility and alignment of its activities in relation to the environmental objectives. Since non-ferrous mining is not yet included in the Taxonomy,
the core business will not be assessed for Taxonomy alignment. Instead, only activities such as water treatment will be assessed as Taxonomy-eligible. Lundin Mining is aware that non-ferrous mining
may be included in the Taxonomy in future years and will monitor future developments.
Process
The process for compiling Taxonomy disclosures is based on identifying eligible activities through review of CapEx and OpEx which were assessed against activity descriptions set out in the Taxonomy
and related Delegated Acts. Eligible activities are then compared against a materiality threshold to determine whether the activities are material to the business (greater than 10% of revenue, CapEx or
OpEx). For the Turnover KPI,  Lundin Mining's core business (non-ferrous mining) is not an eligible activity,  therefore no revenue has been identified as eligible. For the CapEx KPI, the eligible activities
were found to be below the 10% cumulative materiality threshold as allowed by the Omnibus Delegated Act, and as such, they were considered as activities non-assessed for alignment since they were
non-material.

Reporting principles
The information published in the context of the Taxonomy is determined based on the amounts included in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements which were prepared in accordance with
IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and includes the same scope of companies as included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. To prevent duplication, each
Taxonomy-eligible investment is included in only one activity in either CapEx or OpEx. Turnover excludes discontinued operations while CapEx and OpEx include discontinued operations.
Turnover
Turnover reported is consistent with the revenue from continuing operations (see Note 19 'Revenue' of the Consolidated Financial Statements). The turnover ratio is 0% as all of Lundin Mining's revenue
comes from mining, which is not a Taxonomy-eligible activity.
Capital expenditures 
CapEx disclosed in accordance with the Taxonomy include additions to tangible assets, intangible assets, and right-of-use assets excluding goodwill. Please see Note 3 'Assets and Liabilities held for
sale and discontinued operations', Note 9 'Mineral Properties, Plant and Equipment', and Note 13 'Lease Liabilities' of the Consolidated Financial Statements for reference. Non-material CapEx not
assessed for Taxonomy eligibility  amounted to $7.2 million in 2025 and related to water management activities at Chapada and office/warehouse space for Vicuña.  The not assessed activities
considered non-material is 0.8%.
Operating expenditures
There is no OpEx  in accordance with the Taxonomy definition of OpEx. Lundin Mining's operating expenditures primarily relate to mining and processing activities associated with the mining operations.
These mining and processing expenditures are capitalized as inventory and are therefore not considered OpEx by the Taxonomy. As a result, no OpEx qualifies as Taxonomy eligible and the OpEx KPI is
0%.

Social Information
Own Workforce (ESRS S1)
Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model
The Company’s own workforce is a material sustainability topic due to its direct influence on operational efficiency, business continuity and long-term value creation. The Company’s ability to execute
its strategy and operate safely and reliably depends on attracting, developing and retaining a skilled and competent workforce across its operations. Workforce availability, capability and engagement
therefore have a direct interaction with the Company’s business model and strategic objectives.
Health and safety are central components of this material topic. Mining activities inherently involve elevated occupational health and safety risks, particularly at operational sites, and ineffective risk
management may result in serious injuries or fatalities, operational disruption, regulatory consequences and reputational harm. These impacts and risks are intrinsic to the Company’s operating model
and are therefore material from an impact and risk perspective.
The scope of this disclosure includes all individuals within the Company’s own workforce, including employees and contractors. Occupational health and safety impacts are not uniform across all roles,
and exposure to risks varies depending on the nature of work performed. Site-based operational roles are generally exposed to higher occupational health and safety risks than corporate-based roles.
These risks are managed through the Company’s health and safety management systems, standards and site-level controls, which are applied across operations. Based on the outcomes of the DMA,
the Company has not identified material IROs that are specific to defined sub-groups within its own workforce beyond the distinction between operational and non-operational roles. In addition, no
material workforce-specific transition risks or opportunities related to climate change mitigation have been identified, as the Company has not adopted a formal climate transition plan as defined under
ESRS.
Description and assessment of material impacts, risks and opportunities
The material IROs related to own workforce have been identified through the DMA. The materiality assessment is discussed under General Information section. Refer to the Material  impacts, risks and
opportunities section for details about our process to identify material IROs. The table below includes the description of the material IROs related to own workforce for Lundin Mining.

Our policies and approach
We know that our people and culture are pivotal to the overall success of our business.  We continue to invest in our talent pipeline, encouraging our people to further their careers within our global
organization. We strive to foster open communication and inclusivity as we build the skills and capabilities of the next generation of Lundin Mining leaders.
We are strengthening our culture of respect and transparency. We understand that success depends on a skilled and motivated workforce, and that employee engagement is key to employee retention.
To foster a meaningful work experience, we believe it is important that our employees have knowledge of Lundin Mining’s direction and priorities, and appreciate how their efforts and successes
contribute to our overall goals.

Governance
policies
Relation to the sustainability topic
Approach
RMP, RMMS
Code of Conduct,
The policies and management systems described below are designed
to prevent, mitigate and manage the material impacts and financial risks
related to Lundin Mining’s own workforce, including impacts and risks
associated with occupational health and safety, working conditions, labour
relations, and workforce wellbeing. The scope of these policies and related
management measures aligns with the value- chain- boundary of the
identified impacts and risks, which relates to Lundin Mining’s employees
and contractors engaged in its own operations.
The policies and commitments related to our workforce include the Code of
Conduct, the Human Rights Policy, the RMP and RMMS.
Both the RMP and RMMS set the context for our health and safety
management system and provide a foundation for meeting legal
compliance, industry best practices and voluntary requirements in all
jurisdictions where we operate.
These requirements of the RMMS apply to all employees and contractors
working at all Lundin Mining operations or offices.
As required by the RMMS, the Company employs a risk management-based approach to ensure
that health and safety hazards and other aspects that can create a risk exposure are identified,
assessed and treated to prevent injuries and fatalities, and to mitigate the impact of adverse
events on human health.
LMC has developed health and safety practices customized to the unique aspects of each
operation and the needs of our workforce.  We ensure that our workers are aware of the reporting
channels available to them and are protected against reprisals at all levels of the organization,
supported by our grievance mechanisms and Whistleblower Policy. Additionally, each operation
establishes protocols to uphold the right to refuse unsafe work.  We continuously evaluate our
performance and share lessons learned across all Lundin Mining operations.
Our Code of Conduct outlines our zero tolerance towards any harassment and discrimination.
Discrimination on the basis of age, race, gender, marital status, national origin, religious beliefs,
sexual orientation, disability or on the basis of other personal characteristics is not permitted. In
addition, LMC does not engage in or condone forced, compulsory, or child labour of any kind and
will work to ensure these conditions are not present in our workforce. If a discrimination incident
should occur it should be reported to the supervisor, the appropriate members of management or
via our whistleblower function.
Tracking of
implementation and
effectiveness
The effectiveness of the policies and management systems in managing the identified impacts and risks related to the own workforce is monitored through a combination of
operational performance tracking, incident analysis, internal audits and management reviews. Information related to workforce health and safety performance, incidents, and
workforce concerns is reviewed through established governance processes, with oversight by management and reporting to relevant Board committees as appropriate. These
monitoring activities support the identification of trends, the assessment of the effectiveness of controls, and the implementation of corrective actions where required.
Third-party alignment: We align our practices with the UNGC Principles on Labour and support freedom of association and collective bargaining, the elimination of all forms of forced and compulsory
labour, the effective abolition of child labour and the elimination of employment/occupation-related discrimination. With respect to health and safety at the operations level, Candelaria, Caserones and
Chapada are certified to ISO 45001, covering both employee and contractor activities.
Other supporting systems (Workforce):
Labour & Security: The relationships between Lundin Mining, its unions and employees are distinct at each of our mines; however, our consistent approach prioritizes trust, transparency, respectful
dialogue and the constructive, peaceful resolution of any concerns that arise. We engage regularly with union leaders on matters related to local labour laws, business changes and contract
negotiations.
144
We have integrated the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights (“VP”) into our security-related policies and procedures. Currently, none of our operations are located in areas of conflict. The
Human Rights Policy and Code of Conduct support the unencumbered right to freedom of association and collective bargaining at all our operations. As part of our commitment, VP training is delivered
to security providers.  
No operations have been identified as being at risk for child labour or for young workers being exposed to hazardous work. Lundin Mining enforces strict proof-of-age requirements during hiring that
prevent anyone under the legal industrial working age from being employed at any of our operations or exploration sites. Additionally, our operations are not considered at risk for incidents of forced or
compulsory labour, and our Code of Conduct and Business Partner Code of Conduct explicitly prohibit the use of forced, compulsory or child labour. 
Global human capital management system: SuccessFactors is SAP-based and known internally as mySuccess.  It creates a single source of global employee data, which allows us to invest in the
skills and capabilities of our workforce and identify continuous development and growth opportunities for employees. This strategic approach helps us prepare and promote talent for career
advancement within our business.
We have a structured process in place to map critical roles, drive succession planning and enable training, including our Code of Conduct and cybersecurity training. SuccessFactors provides us with
people analytics capability and supports our approach to strategic workforce planning.
SuccessFactors allows us to track other designated groups, and we have invited employees to voluntarily self-identify to help us develop baseline inclusion data based on gender, race/ethnicity and
sexual orientation; however, utilization of this feature by employees has been limited.
Nurturing Talent - Empowering Employees for Success: We encourage employees to take an active role in their careers, to consider where they want to go, and what development steps they may take
to get there, providing ongoing training and development initiatives to engage and motivate our employees. We continuously seek ways to improve and expand our employee communication channels to
ensure our people are kept up-to-date and informed about our business. We aim to create safe work environments that promote trust and respect, and where our employees honour differences in
backgrounds, experiences and perspectives.
Other supporting systems (Health and Safety):
Fatal Risk Management ("FRM") is a structured, preventive framework designed to systematically identify, evaluate, and control risks with the potential to result in serious injury or fatality. It focuses on
understanding how high consequence events could occur in real operational conditions and on implementing and verifying critical controls to prevent or mitigate those events. FRM integrates risk
identification, control, monitoring, and reporting into a continuous improvement cycle, ensuring informed decision-making, clear accountability, and sustained protection of workers’ health and lives
across all activities.
Learning Organization is a core pillar of Lundin Mining’s approach to health and safety, enabling continuous improvement through leadership, structured learning processes, and a supportive learning
environment. This is achieved through the systematic investigation of high potential events using the Incident Cause Analysis Method ("ICAM™), the leading systems based investigation methodology in
the mining industry. ICAM focuses on organizational learning rather than blame, identifying not only immediate factors but also deeper systemic and organizational weaknesses—such as deficiencies in
communication, training, operating procedures, leadership, change management, culture, and equipment design. The primary purpose of this learning is to strengthen environmental and system
controls, creating safer operating conditions and more resilient defenses so that, when deviations or failures occur, their potential consequences are effectively controlled. ICAM is implemented across
all Lundin Mining operations in alignment with the ERM framework, ensuring risks to employees, contractors, visitors, and local communities are treated using the hierarchy of controls, with priority given
to elimination, substitution, and engineering solutions. Learning is reinforced through the analysis of high potential hazards, near misses, and recordable incidents, driving improvements in critical
controls, leadership practices, and proactive safety systems.
145
Field Leadership Program is a key enabler of Lundin Mining’s Learning Organization, strengthening safety through direct engagement where work is performed. The Field Leadership Program promotes
structured, frequent, and purposeful field interactions that allow leaders to understand how work is actually done, verify the effectiveness of critical controls, and identify strengths and gaps in systems,
standards, and behaviours. Through practices such as Visible Field Leadership ("VFL"), Planned Task Observation, Verification of Critical Controls, and Deep Dive Leadership, the program focuses on
reinforcing environmental and system safeguards, ensuring that critical controls are present, understood, and effective under real operating conditions. Rather than assigning blame or relying solely on
compliance, field leadership conversations generate learning that improves the resilience of work environments, strengthens defenses in depth, and supports safer outcomes even when deviations or
failures occur, embedding continuous improvement into everyday operations across all sites and contractors.
Crisis Management Planning and Emergency Preparedness: Protecting our workforce, communities, neighbours, stakeholders and operations is a top priority. Lundin Mining’s crisis management
program provides a structured framework and clear guidance to be implemented in the event of a crisis. 
Each of our operations, along with our corporate office, develops a crisis management plan, establishes a crisis management team ("CMT") and conducts annual training to equip CMT members with the
skills needed to respond effectively in a crisis. Additionally, we maintain a high level of emergency preparedness across all Lundin Mining sites to manage and mitigate the impact of any unforeseen
events.
Industrial Hygiene & Occupational Health: Our industrial hygiene and occupational health efforts focus on identifying, monitoring and mitigating exposures to potential workplace hazards – such as
chemical, biological, physical or ergonomic agents – that can lead to acute illness or long-term, chronic occupational disease.
Our operations maintain a risk-based industrial hygiene program with a focus on identifying and monitoring for potential exposures unique to their operating environment and applying exposure-
reduction plans that focus on the most significant contaminants of concern. When potential exposures are identified, we analyze the relevant risks and develop exposure-reduction strategies with
mitigative measures based on a hierarchy of controls to reduce the potential risk to human health.  We operate professionally staffed, onsite, occupational medical facilities at Candelaria, Caserones,
Chapada. Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan were supported by part-time medical professionals, while Eagle engaged with outside medical service providers and community clinics. All employees have
access to employee and family assistance programs and confidential counselling services.
Processes for engaging with own workers and workers’ representatives about impacts
We actively engage with our employees through a variety of meaningful initiatives.  Each site has its own approach to connect with its employees, depending on the specific matters that are most
relevant to them. These include regular employee engagement surveys to gather feedback, ongoing in-the-field talks to stay connected with teams, quarterly business updates to keep staff informed,
and our structured annual performance review process for professional and leadership roles. We also prioritize one-on-one conversations to foster open communication and capture a diverse range of
perspectives. At each site, the managing directors have operational responsibility for ensuring that engagement happens and that the results inform the Company’s approach.
Feedback is gathered through the various engagement channels mentioned above and is carefully reviewed to identify trends and areas for improvement. Leadership uses these insights to inform
decision-making, ensuring that employee perspectives are reflected in strategies and initiatives that enhance our workplace culture and operational success.
A complaint, grievance or incident may be reported via the whistleblower channel either online or by phone. The whistleblower system is provided by an independent external third party, and the channel
is available to all employees and their representatives. Information about these channels and our Whistleblower Policy can be found on LMC’s external website.
The whistleblower function, including the handling procedure, is described in our Whistleblower Policy. All incoming complaints, grievances, and whistleblower reports are regularly monitored by LMC’s
Corporate Secretary. Whistleblower reports are also reported to the Company’s AC and CGNC, as applicable and appropriate.
LMC applies zero tolerance for retaliation against anyone who reports serious wrongdoing, misconduct, or serious deviations in good faith, in accordance with our Whistleblower Policy.
146
Processes to remediate negative impacts and channels for own workers to raise concerns
LMC has various channels for its own workforce to report issues and grievances to management, including discrimination-related concerns. Issues can be raised with their supervisor, appropriate
member of management, or the AC or CGNC Chairs, as appropriate. Reporting can also be completed via the whistleblower channel either online or by phone. The whistleblower system is provided by
an independent external third party, and the channel is available to all employees and anyone in the public. Information about these channels and our Whistleblower Policy can be found on LMC’s
external website. We support the availability of this channel by sharing the contact information across various communication platforms throughout our worksites. For more details, see our
Whistleblower Policy and our Human Rights Policy.
LMC implements measures to address barriers that may prevent employees from raising concerns, including fear of retaliation and cultural norms. These measures include confidentiality safeguards, a
whistleblower mechanism that provides for anonymous reporting, awareness raising and training activities, and targeted internal communications. The effectiveness of the whistleblower mechanism is
monitored through ongoing case management, investigation outcomes and statistics, and regular reporting to the appropriate Board committees.
LMC has established procedures to address adverse impacts on its workforce that are caused or contributed to by the Company. Where such impacts are identified, LMC cooperates in remediation.
Remedies available to affected individuals may include apologies, restitution, rehabilitation, restoration, and financial or non-financial compensation, as well as measures to prevent the recurrence of
harm.
Processes for engaging with own workers and workers’ representatives about health and safety impacts
Engagement and feedback play a critical role in shaping operational decisions. Each site gathers input through various channels to identify trends and areas for improvement. Engagement is ongoing,
with each site employing different mechanisms based on its specific context. These may include Health and Safety Committees, workforce meetings, incident reports and in-the-field talks, among
others.
- Health and Safety Committees: Each of our operations has an active Health and Safety Committee with worker and management representation. Additionally, portions of our workforce are
represented by collective labour agreements, which include specific health and safety provisions and protections.
- Health and Safety Reporting: We foster an open and supportive dialogue with employees and contractors, encouraging them to report work-related hazards and hazardous situations, including
recognizing their right to remove themselves from work situations they believe could cause injury or ill-health. Health and safety performance results are reported to the Company’s ET and
Senior Leadership Team, shared across our operations through weekly and monthly reports, and reviewed quarterly with the Board’s SSTC. Our injury reporting processes align with the ICMM
and ESRS standards, detailed in Methodologies and assumptions of this section.
Actions and resources related to own workforce during the year
During 2025, the Company continued to implement a range of actions across its operations to prevent, mitigate and manage IROs related to own workforce, with a particular focus on health and safety.
Unless otherwise stated, these actions are ongoing in nature. Actions are designed to mitigate identified negative impacts, strengthen positive outcomes and support the long-term resilience of the
workforce in alignment with the Company’s strategy and operating model.  Actions are supported by site-level operational resources, dedicated personnel and monitoring systems, and are implemented
in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. The effectiveness of the actions is assessed through continuous monitoring of results, comparison of results against trends and historical
baselines, as well as continuous review of outcomes by site management teams. Workforce-related performance trends are also reviewed by the ET and reported quarterly to the Board and/or
appropriate Board committees.
147
Our workforce remained actively engaged with health and safety activities throughout 2025, contributing to various working groups, conducting workplace inspections, participating in Health and Safety
Committee initiatives, and attending ongoing health and safety training.
In 2025, our health and safety efforts focused on implementing VFL training and Risk Owner training at site level. At the corporate level, we conducted corporate crisis management training.
In 2025, LMC implemented site-level and companywide initiatives to address material workforce-related topics, with a primary focus on occupational health and safety. Key actions included:
- FRM: Implemented a companywide FRM program focused on the 18 fatal risks, completing fatal risk assessments across all operations, strengthening risk and critical control ownership, and
standardizing high potential incident and near miss reporting. In parallel, security fatal and high-risk assessments were developed, with associated critical controls defined and integrated to
strengthen system defenses and operating conditions for security-related risks.
-  Field Leadership Program: Continued implementation of the Field Leadership Program through the deployment of Planned Task Observation ("PTO"), Management and Verification of Critical
Controls ("MVCC") and VFL. These practices reinforce leadership presence in the field, standardize critical control identification and verification by employees and contractors, and support
stoppage of work where critical controls are not in place, strengthening environmental and system safeguards and reinforcing a leadership-driven safety culture.
- Learning Organization: Strengthened organizational learning through enhancements to the ICAM, including targeted training, improved focus on organizational and systemic factors, and
systematic closure of investigation actions. Learning from incidents, hazards, and near misses was embedded into operations to reinforce critical controls, strengthen system resilience, and
improve the ability to manage risk when controls are challenged or fail.
- Health and safety training: Regular workforce engagement through safety meetings, task-specific training, refresher programs, emergency response drills and crisis management exercises were
conducted at site and corporate levels.
 
The effectiveness of workforce-related actions is monitored using a combination of leading and lagging indicators, including health and safety KPIs, incident investigations, audit outcomes and
management system reviews. KPIs are monitored monthly, quarterly or annually, and the effectiveness of policies and controls is evaluated through the annual management system review process.
Managing potential conflicts between workforce impacts and business needs
LMC manages potential conflicts between mitigating adverse workforce impacts and business requirements through established governance, reporting and risk assessment processes. Incidents and
workforce concerns are reported and investigated through formal channels, including the whistleblower mechanism. Risk assessments are conducted for new or modified processes to identify and
address workforce impacts prior to implementation.
Health and safety objectives are embedded within external reporting and variable remuneration for senior management, reinforcing alignment between workforce protection and business decision-
making.

Financial, human and operational resources are allocated through the Company’s annual budgeting, workforce planning and operational management processes to manage and address material IROs
related to its own workforce, as identified through the DMA. These resources support the implementation of health and safety programs, training and development, workforce engagement initiatives, and
actions to promote fair working conditions, diversity and inclusion.
Financial resources are allocated through operating and capital budgets to support health and safety systems, training programs, employee wellbeing initiatives and workforce development activities.
Human resources include dedicated health and safety and human resources personnel at both site and corporate levels. Operational resources include management systems, reporting tools, training
platforms and internal controls that support the effective management of workforce-related matters.
26 Number of contractors reported on a headcount basis at the end of the reporting period.
148
Resources allocated to own workforce are integrated into broader operational and functional budgets and are therefore not separately quantified on a standalone basis for this disclosure.
Targets related to own workforce
LMC has not developed consolidated long-term targets related to own workforce. Management of this topic is embedded within the Company’s governance framework and is addressed through the
implementation of policies, site-level management and ongoing monitoring of performance through company-wide annual performance objectives related to health and safety. All operations have
additional commitments and objectives for this topic, on the basis of their regulatory requirements all of which vary for each mine site. Compliance is verified by local or regional authorities.
Company-wide performance objectives are approved by the HRCC and, insofar as they apply to the CEO, by the Board. The performance objective is focused on health and safety and is embedded in our
commitment to improve incident management at sites. The objective for 2025 was to improve the Total Recordable Injury Frequency ("TRIF") rate to 1.75 or better. This objective, specific to health and
safety was achieved as a TRIF rate of 1.72 was reported.

Metrics methodologies and assumptions
- Information provided at the end of the reporting period. Numbers are reported on a headcount basis – at December 31, 2025 unless otherwise noted.
- Permanent employee: An employee with a contract for an indeterminate period (i.e. indefinite contract) for full-time or part-time work.
- Temporary employee:  An employee with a contract for a limited period (i.e. fixed-term contract) that ends when the specific time period expires, or when the specific task or event that has an
attached time estimate is completed (e.g. the end of a project or return of replaced employees).
- Non-guaranteed hours employee: An employee who is not guaranteed a minimum or fixed number of working hours per day, week or month, but who may need to make themselves available for work
as required. Examples include casual employees, employees with zero-hour contracts and on-call employees.
- Employment type: Full-time: A ‘full-time employee’ is an employee whose working hours per week, month or year are defined according to national law or practice regarding working time. 
- Non-employees: People with contracts with the Company who supply labour (“self-employed people”) or people provided by the Company primarily engaged in employment activities.
- There were no changes in the underlying measurement methodologies, significant assumptions, limitations, sources and processes to collect data adopted during 2025.
- The metrics are not validated by any external body other than the assurance provider.
Adequate wages
The Company’s remuneration practices are designed to ensure fair and equitable treatment in all compensation matters for its employees. LMC provides market-based, competitive wages that are
aligned with local labour market conditions, applicable legal requirements, and collective bargaining agreements across the jurisdictions in which the Company operates to ensure that all employees
are paid an adequate wage.
27 Number of complaints filed through channels for people in own workforce excludes incidents of discrimination listed in the previous row.
152
To support consistent implementation of remuneration practices, LMC established a global internal compensation standard, complemented by site-specific compensation frameworks aligned to local
market conditions. All operating sites are required to conduct market remuneration reviews to assess competitiveness and alignment with internal standards. Where reviews identify gaps or emerging
risks related to wage adequacy, these are addressed through routine compensation governance and management processes.
Remuneration practices follow a “pay-for-performance” approach, aligning compensation with both Company and individual performance objectives. Responsibility for the implementation and
oversight of remuneration practices rests with the Human Resources function, supported by site-level management and corporate compensation governance.
Incidents, complaints and severe human rights impacts
The Company tracks and monitors data related to incidents, complaints and severe human rights impacts affecting its own workforce through its whistleblower reporting platform. All reports submitted
through the whistleblower platform are reported irrespective of whether they are substantiated, partially substantiated, or unsubstantiated.
Reported data is subject to review by management. The metrics below include incidents and complaints reported during the year, including those associated with operations divested in April 2025
(Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan)and those reported by the Joint Operation.

Metrics methodologies and assumptions 
- Discrimination can occur directly or indirectly. Direct discrimination occurs when an individual is treated less favourably by comparison to how others, who are in a similar situation, have been or
would be treated, and the reason for this is a particular characteristic they hold, which falls under a ‘protected ground’ (e.g. gender, racial or ethnic origin, nationality, religion or belief, disability, age
or sexual orientation). Indirect discrimination occurs when an apparently neutral rule disadvantages a person or a group sharing the same characteristics. It must be shown that a group is
disadvantaged by a decision when compared to a comparator group.
- Harassment is a situation where an unwanted conduct related to a ‘protected ground’ of discrimination occurs with the purpose or effect of violating the dignity of a person, and of creating an
intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment.
- An incident is a legal action or complaint registered with the Company or competent authorities through a formal process, or an instance of non-compliance identified by the Company through
established procedures. Established procedures can include management system audits, formal monitoring programs or grievance mechanisms.
- Severity is determined by: (a) scale: how grave or beneficial the impact is for people or the environment, (b) scope: how widespread the positive or negative impacts are. For impacts on people,
scope may be understood as the number of people adversely affected and (c) irremediable character: whether and to what extent the negative impacts could be remediated, i.e. restoring the
affected people to their prior state. Any one of the scale, scope or irremediable character can make a negative impact severe.
- In the case of a potential (not actual) negative human rights impact, the severity of the impact takes precedent over its likelihood.  Examples of severe human rights incidents include forced labour,
human trafficking or child labour.
- The metrics are not validated by any external body other than the assurance provider.

Metrics methodologies and assumptions
- The consolidation of health and safety data is derived from the monthly and quarterly data collection for each of our sites.
- Starting this reporting period (2025), all our rates are calculated per one million hours worked, indicating the number of respective cases per 500 full-time workers over a one-year timeframe.
- Full Time Equivalent ("FTE") is based on reported hours worked divided by 40 hours a week times 50 weeks a year accounting for two weeks vacations.
156
- Lost workdays are based on workdays lost after the first day. Lost days do not include days that the injured person is not/would not be scheduled for work. When a fatality occurs, a 6,000 lost
workdays penalty per fatality is added to the calculation following the Mine Safety and Health Administration ("MSHA") recommendations.
- TRIF does not include First Aid injuries. TRIF = [(Medical Treatment Cases + Restricted Duty Cases + Lost Time Cases + Fatality Cases) x 1,000,000]/ hours worked.Note that ESRS equivalent to
rate of recordable work-related accidents is the TRIF.
- Work related fatalities are the number of employees who lost their lives as a result of work-related injuries. Work Related Fatality Rate = (Number of fatalities/Number of hours worked) x 1,000,000.
- Occupational diseases include Silicosis and other work-related pulmonary diseases, Other Lung diseases, Hearing Loss, Muscle-skeletal Disorders, Occupational Stress and Occupational Cancer.
Note that ESRS equivalent to cases of recordable work-related ill health is cases of occupational diseases.
- There were no changes in the underlying measurement methodologies, significant assumptions, limitations, sources and processes to collect data adopted during 2025.
- The metrics are not validated by any external body other than the assurance provider.

Affected Communities (ESRS S3) – Community Health and Wellbeing
Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model
Lundin Mining’s activities may result in actual and potential impacts on affected communities, primarily through land use, water use and emissions associated with mining operations. During the
development of new projects and the expansion of existing operations, competing land use priorities and environmental constraints may result in differing or conflicting stakeholder interests. These
circumstances may affect access to land and water resources and may influence environmental conditions relevant to nearby communities and other land users.
In addition to production activities, the Company undertakes exploration, development and decommissioning activities across different stages of the mining life cycle. These activities may occur in areas
where land, water and infrastructure are shared with other industries and stakeholders, including agricultural users, smelting facilities, local businesses and residents located near operational sites or
along transport corridors. As a result, engagement with a diverse range of affected stakeholders is required throughout the life of mine.
During 2025, Lundin Mining completed the divestment of its two operating assets in Europe (Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan) and, in early 2026, completed the sale of its mine in the United States (Eagle).
As a result, the Company’s operational footprint and associated IROs related to affected communities are primarily concentrated in Brazil and Chile. The Company operates in regions where mining and
industrial activities have been established for several decades, shaping the socio-economic context of surrounding communities. In these jurisdictions, Lundin Mining is a significant local employer and
relies on the availability of a skilled workforce from surrounding communities to support the continuity and safe operation of its assets. The Company therefore prioritizes sound relationships with local
authorities, community stakeholders and contractors to manage operational risks, support workforce availability and maintain its social license to operate. Lundin Mining’s activities may also contribute
to positive social and economic outcomes in host communities, including employment opportunities, local procurement and community investment. The identification, assessment and management of
both adverse and positive impacts are supported through ongoing stakeholder engagement processes. Understanding community priorities and expectations, and supporting local socioeconomic
development where appropriate, are integral to managing impacts and risks and to maintaining the long-term operational viability of the Company’s assets.
In accordance with the phase-in provisions under the ESRS (“quick fix”), disclosures relating to affected communities for the reporting year are presented in summary form. More detailed disclosures will
be progressively expanded in future reporting periods in line with ESRS requirements.
Description and assessment of material impacts, risks and opportunities
The material IROs related to affected communities have been identified through the DMA. The materiality assessment is discussed under General Information. Refer to the Material impacts, risks and
opportunities section for details about our process to identify material IROs. The table below includes the description of the material IROs related to affected communities for Lundin Mining.

Community Development and Economic Contributions
The Company supports local economic development by creating demand for goods and services from local businesses,
which in turn fosters entrepreneurship and encourages economic diversification. In parallel, the Company contributes to
public finances through the payment of taxes, royalties, and fees, helping to fund government services such as education,
healthcare, and infrastructure. Together, these economic contributions strengthen local institutions and support the
development of more resilient communities.

Communities
Information on the characteristics of communities affected by the Company’s activities, including geographic location and key socio-economic features, is set out below.
Candelaria’s direct area of influence includes the towns of Tierra Amarilla and Nantoco, as well as the transportation routes connecting Tierra Amarilla with the Copiapó commune and the Company’s
port facilities in the Caldera commune. The area is characterized by a mix of mining and agricultural activities and continues to attract foreign migration. Indigenous Peoples are also present within the
region.
Caserones’ direct area of influence encompasses the high-mountain sectors of Tierra Amarilla, including Juntas El Potro, Ramada, La Semilla, Pastos Grandes and surrounding rural areas extending
from Nantoco toward the Andean range. These areas are home to both Indigenous Peoples and non-Indigenous populations, with livelihoods that include mining, agriculture and other rural productive
activities within a socially diverse territory.
Chapada’s direct area of influence includes the small towns of Alto Horizonte and Nova Iguaçu de Goiás, both with modest infrastructure and local services. Nova Iguaçu, located three kilometres from
the mine, is the nearest impacted community. While livestock production is important, the local economy depends heavily on the mining sector for direct and indirect employment, local businesses
activity, taxes and royalties. There are no reported Indigenous communities in the area. 
The Eagle Mine and Humboldt Mill (sold in January 2026) facilities are both located in Marquette County in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The mine itself is in Michigamme Township, while Big Bay, in
Powell Township, is the nearest impacted community. Adjacent land use is primarily for commercial forestry and outdoor recreation. The mine’s surface facilities are adjacent to a rock outcrop called
Eagle Rock, a site considered sacred by local Indigenous groups. Haul trucks transport ore over 100km on public roads from the mine to the mill for processing.
Neves-Corvo’s (sold in April 2025) direct area of influence includes the communities of Neves da Graça, A-do-Corvo, Senhora da Graça dos Padrões and Semblana. These small villages, each with
populations in the hundreds, are located near the mining concession.
Zinkgruvan (sold in April 2025) is located in the urban area of Zinkgruvan in Askersund Municipality. The local population is highly homogenous in terms of ethnicity and language.
Interests and views of stakeholders
Lundin Mining seeks to understand the interests and views of stakeholders, particularly affected communities, regarding the impacts and benefits of its operating activities. The Company’s approach
includes structured stakeholder engagement processes supported by tools such as the SLO Index and grievance mechanism procedures. These mechanisms are used to systematically capture
stakeholder perspectives and enhance internal awareness of actual and potential impacts associated with the Company’s activities. Insights derived from these processes inform site-level and
corporate decision-making and contribute to the identification and management of material IROs. Additional information on stakeholder engagement is provided in the General Information section.

Our policies and approach
Governance policies
Relation to the sustainability topic
Approach
Human Rights Policy
RMP, RMMS, Code of
Conduct
The policies and management systems described are designed to prevent, mitigate and manage the material
impacts and financial risks related to affected communities, including impacts associated with land use, access to
natural resources, environmental emissions, community health and safety, Indigenous Peoples’ rights, and social
licence to operate. The scope of these policies and related management measures aligns with the value-chain
boundary of the identified impacts and risks, which primarily relate to Lundin Mining’s own operations and their
interactions with host communities, including Indigenous Peoples where applicable.
Under our RMP, Lundin Mining has processes in place to support both community and Indigenous community
engagement.
Lundin Mining’s approach to managing impacts on affected communities is guided by its RMP, RMMS, Human
Rights Policy and Code of Conduct. Together, these governance instruments set expectations for respectful
engagement, impact prevention and remediation, and the protection of human rights across the Company’s
operations and value chain.
Under the RMP and RMMS , the Company has established processes to support ongoing engagement with both
local communities and Indigenous Peoples. The Human Rights Policy complements this framework by reinforcing
commitments to international standards and by providing guidance on the identification, prevention, mitigation
and remediation of adverse human rights impacts. These policies promote open, long-term dialogue with affected
communities and support the establishment of effective grievance and remediation mechanisms.
The Company’s approach to communities is
implemented through site-specific management
planning, ongoing performance evaluation and the
application of appropriate controls throughout the
mining life cycle. Key elements of this approach
include:
- engaging, collaborating and partnering with
stakeholders in host communities to build
trust-based relationships
- encouraging local employment and
procurement
- working with stakeholders to support socio-
economic development and economic
diversification in the regions where the
Company operates, while respecting the
rights, interests and traditions of Indigenous
Peoples and vulnerable populations.
Tracking of
implementation and
effectiveness
The effectiveness of the policies and management systems in managing the identified impacts and risks related to affected communities is monitored through a
combination of site-level performance tracking, grievance analysis, and internal management reviews. Information on community engagement activities, grievances
and social performance outcomes is reviewed through established governance processes, with oversight by management and reporting to relevant Board committees
as appropriate.
These monitoring activities support the identification of recurring issues, the assessment of the effectiveness of mitigation measures, and the implementation of
corrective actions where required.
In addition, the Company provides training on human rights expectations to relevant employees and maintains mechanisms to report, including anonymously, and
investigate grievances related to human rights allegations.
28 Rights-holders in the context of HRRA are those who are actually or may be potentially impacted by Company activities.
161
Third-party alignment:
Lundin Mining’s approach to human rights is informed by, and aligned with, the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights ("UNGPs"). In line with UNGP Principle 15, this approach
incorporates a policy commitment to respect human rights, processes to identify and manage actual and potential adverse human rights impacts, and mechanisms to enable remediation where
appropriate.
In fulfilling its responsibility to respect internationally recognized human rights, as set out in the International Bill of Human Rights and the International Labour Organization’s Declaration on
Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, the Company’s approach is also informed by leading international frameworks and standards, including those issued by the International Finance
Corporation and the World Bank Group, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, and the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights.
In 2025, Lundin Mining did not receive any reports of human rights allegations involving affected communities, nor did it receive any grievances reported to National Contact Points (NCPs). 
The Company works to achieve its human rights-related objectives through systematic and transparent engagement with community stakeholders. This engagement is intended to support constructive
dialogue, enable responsiveness to community concerns, and inform the identification and management of impacts associated with the Company’s activities. At present, this approach is focused on
the Company’s own operations, with work ongoing to further develop engagement processes across the upstream and downstream value chain.
Other supporting systems:
Human Rights Risk Assessments ("HRRAs")
Human Rights Risk Assessments are a component of the Company’s due diligence process. Stakeholder engagement is central to HRRAs, with particular attention to consultation with affected rights-
holders. 28 Stakeholder feedback is systematically considered in identifying, preventing, mitigating and, where appropriate, remediating adverse human rights impacts. During 2025, HRRAs were initiated
at Caserones and Eagle. The Caserones HRRA will be finalized in 2026, and its findings will be incorporated into action plans and risk management processes.
Additional information on the Company’s approach to preventing and mitigating human rights impacts is provided in the Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in the Supply Chains report for
the year ended December 31, 2025. This approach currently focuses on the Company’s own operations, with ongoing work to further extend processes across the value chain.
Taxation
Lundin Mining seeks to comply with the letter and spirit of tax laws in all jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company is committed to fulfilling its taxation responsibilities and to transparency in
payments to governments, as outlined in its Code of Conduct. The Company’s tax strategy supports its overall business strategy and is designed to comply with applicable income and indirect tax
legislation, maintain open, objective and ethical relationships with tax authorities, and manage tax-related risks through a conservative approach. Lundin Mining meets all applicable tax filing and
reporting obligations in relevant jurisdictions, including the timely submission of corporate income tax and related information returns.
Processes for engaging with affected communities about impacts
Lundin Mining engages with affected communities to identify, understand, and manage actual and potential social impacts associated with its operations and value chain. Engagement activities are
guided by the Company’s Social Performance Management Standard and are designed to support structured, transparent, and ongoing dialogue with communities located in proximity to operations, as
well as other relevant stakeholders within the value chain, including contractors and suppliers. The purpose of engagement is to inform the Company’s understanding of community interests, concerns,
162
and expectations and to support the management of associated IROs.  Engagement with affected communities at all mine sites occurs throughout all mine life stages and is conducted on a regular
basis, including monthly, quarterly, biannual and annual interactions, as well as on an ad-hoc basis where circumstances require. 
At Eagle, Candelaria and Caserones, where Indigenous communities are present, site-level procedures and processes have been established to support engagement. These processes include
consultation activities, economic participation opportunities, and the identification and management of cultural and heritage matters, in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
At Caserones, formal agreements are in place that define the basis for ongoing engagement activities. 
The effectiveness of community engagement processes is monitored through site-level tools, including  the  SLO Index and analysis of grievance data. Site-level social performance managers hold
operational responsibility for implementing engagement activities and incorporating relevant insights into site-level and corporate management processes. 
Grievance mechanism - Processes to remediate negative impacts and channels for affected communities to raise concerns
Lundin Mining has grievance mechanisms in place at all operating sites to enable affected community members and other stakeholders to raise concerns related to the Company’s activities and
associated impacts. These mechanisms support the identification, assessment and remediation of actual or potential adverse impacts, including those related to human rights. Grievance mechanisms
are accessible through multiple channels, which vary by site to reflect local context and stakeholder preferences. Common channels include in-person reporting to site-level social performance teams,
as well as remote channels such as phone calls and messaging applications, including WhatsApp. All grievances received are documented in a consistent manner and are managed in accordance with
site-level procedures to support transparency, traceability and accountability throughout the grievance handling process.
Grievance data from operational sites are consolidated on a quarterly basis and reported to management and the SSTC of the Board, as appropriate. Reporting includes information on grievance
categories, number and progress toward resolution, and is used to support oversight of stakeholder engagement and impact management. 
The effectiveness of grievance mechanisms is monitored through both qualitative and quantitative indicators. This includes assessments of user satisfaction with the grievance process and with
grievance outcomes. Awareness of grievance mechanisms among community members is monitored through the SLO Index survey. Information on the Company’s approach to protection against
retaliation is disclosed in the Own Workforce section of this Sustainability Statement.
Actions and resources related to affected communities during the year
During 2025, the Company continued to implement a range of actions across its own operations to prevent, mitigate and manage IROs related to affected communities. Unless otherwise stated, these
actions are ongoing in nature. Actions are designed to mitigate identified negative impacts, strengthen positive outcomes and support the long-term resilience of the Company’s strategy and operating
model. Actions related to affected communities are informed by ongoing stakeholder engagement and are designed to prevent potential adverse impacts and to address and remediate impacts
identified through grievance mechanisms, EIAs, permitting processes and community feedback. These actions are guided by the Social Performance Five-Year Plan and are prioritised based on site-level
risk assessments and community needs. The effectiveness of actions related to affected communities is assessed through grievance trends and resolution outcomes, participation levels in engagement
programs, feedback from community forums, compliance with EIA commitments, and periodic review of social performance indicators at site and corporate levels.
29 The Lundin Foundation is a Canadian non-profit organization that collaborates  with Lundin Mining and other Lundin Group companies to implement and resource long-term community investment
initiatives.

Managing impacts
- The Company's objective is to foster a clear understanding of impacts, while leading the development and implementation of social management action plans and mitigation measures that
appropriately address prioritized social risks throughout the life of mine. All sites adopt this approach through different activities.
- To address dust issues in communities located nearby, Candelaria has an established neighbourhood blasting, training and monitoring program. This program installs monitoring equipment in
participants’ homes and facilitates training sessions for residents to monitor and build technical knowledge about the process. It allows participants to actively monitor blasting activities and
establish consistent and transparent communications channels with the site team. The complaints and grievance mechanism is actively promoted, and cases received are managed in coordination
with the relevant departments. The site team also receives in-the-moment complaints via WhatsApp social media platform, and can respond within minutes to community concerns. The Program
“Community Encounters” was expanded to include operational staff to regularly present to communities on dust and associated mitigation measures in detail, providing transparent and technical
information to the community. A governance framework was defined with the community, which established a schedule, topics to be addressed, and decision-making mechanisms.
- Indigenous engagement at Caserones remains a priority due to the site’s permitting requirements and the need to manage impacts on Indigenous rights, land use, and livelihoods. In 2025, the site
signed an agreement with three Indigenous communities, establishing a shared governance framework and community investment programs that fulfil EIA commitments and strengthen long‑term
relationships. Support to Colla Indigenous Communities continued through infrastructure improvements benefiting thirteen families and the launching the first phase of the Agricultural
Development Program, both aligned with formal agreements. These measures reduce regulatory and social‑conflict risk, facilitate compliance with Indigenous‑related conditions, and reinforce
Caserones’ commitment to responsible, rights‑respecting impact management.
- Candelaria’s port activities interact directly with local fishing organizations, influencing marine conditions and access, which makes these groups a priority impact‑management stakeholder. To
mitigate these operational pressures, the site partners with fishing organizations in Caldera to strengthen technical knowledge and sustainable resource‑management practices. The 2025
Educational Experiences Program builds local capacity in marine stewardship and organizational resilience, helping fishers adapt to cumulative coastal impacts. This approach reduces conflict
risk, supports long‑term coexistence between mining and marine sectors, and contributes to broader regional economic diversification.
- Chapada continued to operate the Multidisciplinary Dust Committee to create a structured forum for addressing community grievances and residents’ perceptions of dust‑related impacts linked to
mining operations. The committee brings together community members and site teams to review concerns, share monitoring information, and co‑identify practical mitigation measures. This
approach strengthens transparency and ensures that community feedback directly informs impact‑management decisions.
Economic diversification
- Integrated Social Programs in Chile: Candelaria and Caserones, in partnership with the Lundin Foundation 29, launched two new supplier development programs aimed at strengthening small and
medium-sized enterprises ("SMEs"). This joint program marks the first time both operations have jointly delivered a social investment initiative. The Digital Transformation for SMEs program provides
entrepreneurs with practical access to digital tools and training to modernize businesses, reduce costs, and expand market reach. The Impulsa program supports SME growth by strengthening
business management capabilities, financial planning, and technical skills through tailored academic training and one-on-one mentoring. Developed in collaboration with local partners, including
CORFO (Chile’s national development agency), CORPROA (Atacama's development agency), and Red de Mentores Atacama (local mentorship network), these programs reflect the Company’s
commitment to regional collaboration and sustainable local business development. 
- Caserones and Candelaria continued to implement the Competitive Fund Program, which provides local entrepreneurs, business owners and social organizations with resources to establish new
businesses, strengthen existing ventures and develop community initiatives.
164
- Chapada continued to advance its Rural Development Program to enhance productivity and build capacity through the provision of seed capital, technical assistance and in-kind support to rural
farmers in the region. This initiative supports improved quality of life and productivity for rural residents, contributes to local development, and helps maintain the Company’s social license
to operate. In addition, Chapada held a Business Forum for the Supplier Development Program to strengthen engagement with local suppliers and promote increased local procurement.
Resources
Financial and human resources to affected communities-related impacts are allocated through the Company’s annual budgeting and operational planning processes. Financial resources are
committed through annual community investment budgets and human resources included are dedicated social performance and community relations personnel at site and corporate levels, supported
by specialist functions where required. Operational resources include grievance management systems, stakeholder engagement tools and the use of external expertise to support assessments,
facilitation, monitoring activities and, where applicable, remediation measures.
With the exception of community investment expenditures disclosed in this Sustainability Statement, the Company does not separately quantify other resources allocated to affected communities, as
these resources are integrated into broader operational and functional budgets.
Targets related to managing material negative impacts, advancing positive impacts, and managing material risks and
opportunities
LMC has not developed consolidated long-term targets related to affected communities. Management of this topic is embedded within the Company’s governance framework and is addressed through
the implementation of policies, site-level management and ongoing monitoring of performance through company-wide annual performance objectives. All operations have individual objectives for this
topic, on the basis of their regulatory requirements and voluntary commitments with communities, all of which vary for each mine site. Compliance is verified by  internal monitoring done by the
Company.
Company-wide performance objectives are approved by the HRCC and, insofar as they apply to the CEO, by the Board. The performance objective related to affected communities is embedded in our
commitment to improve our SLO Index performance. In 2025, LMC’s annual objective was to improve the procedural fairness ("PF") component of the SLO Index across all sites. PF reflects community
confidence in how concerns are heard, addressed, and integrated into operational decisions. The objective was achieved as 2 of our sites improved their SLO Index score for procedural fairness.

Approximately half of reported grievances relate to road conditions and traffic impacts combined, followed by
environmental impacts, land tenure/ownership and delays in payment terms and contractual compliance. The remaining
grievances relate to land tenure/ownership, local purchasing policy, conditions at security checkpoints and communication
channels.
In 2025, no forced labour or child labour issues were raised.
Metrics methodologies and assumptions
- All sites have grievance mechanisms in place to ensure that community members and other stakeholders can voice concerns about our activities and impacts.
- Grievance numbers are validated internally, and each concerns/complaint is documented transparently, in a timely and accountable manner. These grievance mechanisms are available through
different channels depending on the site. The most common methods of registering a grievance are in-person reporting to the social performance team, followed by WhatsApp and phone calls.
- The Company consolidates and reports operational level grievance data to management monthly and quarterly. It also provides updates on grievance types and progress toward resolution to the
SSTC of the Board quarterly, as appropriate.
- Grievances are classified according to the impact reported, the method to report the complaint and other metrics relevant to the management of grievances.
- There were no changes in the underlying measurement methodologies, significant assumptions, limitations, sources and processes to collect data adopted during 2025.
- The metrics are not validated by any external body other than the assurance provider.

Governance Information
Business Conduct (ESRS G1)
The role of the administrative, supervisory and management bodies
Lundin Mining’s governance framework defines the roles, responsibilities and oversight arrangements through which accountability for sustainability-related IROs is exercised. The governance
framework is designed to support compliance with applicable laws, regulations and internal policies and to enable effective supervision of sustainability-related matters across the mining life cycle.
The Board is responsible for the oversight of the Company’s strategy, risk management and performance, including with respect to sustainability-related matters. Additional information on the role,
composition and expertise of the administrative, management and supervisory bodies in relation to business conduct is provided in the Governance –Board of directors and executive management
section of this Sustainability Statement.
Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model
Business integrity and transparency are material to Lundin Mining due to their direct interaction with the Company’s strategy, business model and long-term value creation. Ethical business conduct
supports the Company’s ability to operate responsibly across multiple jurisdictions, maintain access to capital, and build enduring relationships with employees, communities, suppliers, customers
and regulators.
Failures in business conduct may result in adverse impacts and risks, including regulatory non-compliance, financial penalties, litigation, loss of social license to operate, reputational damage and
disruption to operations. Conversely, strong governance and ethical practices contribute to operational resilience, stakeholder confidence and the achievement of both short- and long-term strategic
objectives.
To manage these impacts and risks, Lundin Mining implements established corporate governance processes and internal controls designed to promote transparency, accountability and ethical
behaviour throughout the organization. These processes support the prevention, identification and management of misconduct and form an integral part of the Company’s approach to risk management
and sustainable value creation.
169
Description and assessment of the material impacts, risks and opportunities
The material IROs related to business conduct have been identified through the DMA. This materiality assessment is discussed under the General Information section. Refer to the Material impacts, risks
and opportunities section for details about our process to identify material IROs. The table below sets out the description of the material IROs related to business conduct for Lundin Mining.

Political engagement activities
Engagement with municipal governments may influence local development priorities, which may create opportunities to
support infrastructure and community development, while also giving rise to potential reputational or regulatory risks if
such engagement is not conducted transparently and in alignment with applicable laws and internal governance controls.
This may affect permitting timelines, access to land, or regulatory conditions, with potential impacts on capital allocation
and operational continuity.

Our policies and approach
Governance policies
Relation to the sustainability topic
Our approach
Code of Conduct,
Whistleblower Policy 
The policies described are designed to prevent, mitigate and manage the material
impacts and financial risks related to business conduct, including risks associated
with political engagement. The scope of these policies and related management
measures aligns with the value-chain boundary of the identified impacts and risks,
which primarily relate to Lundin Mining’s own operations and its business
relationships.
Lundin Mining’s commitment to ethical business conduct is underpinned by a
structured framework of policies, governance arrangements and internal controls.
This framework establishes clear expectations for integrity, transparency and
compliance and is supported by communication, training and monitoring activities
designed to promote consistent application across the organization.
Policies related to business conduct, including political engagement and interactions
with public authorities, establish expectations for lawful conduct, integrity in
decision-making and responsible stakeholder engagement. These policies are
reviewed periodically and are approved by senior management and the Board.
The Company’s business conduct policies apply to directors, employees and relevant
business partners and are embedded within its broader risk management and
compliance systems to support consistent implementation and accountability.
The Code of Conduct applies to directors, officers, employees, contractors and third-
party agents of Lundin Mining and its subsidiaries. Individuals subject to the Code of
Conduct are required to avoid situations that involve, or could be perceived to involve,
conflicts between personal interests and the interests of the Company. Employees
are required annually to review Company policies and confirm their understanding
and compliance.
The Whistleblower Policy provides individuals with the opportunity to voice any
concerns they may have regarding unethical or unlawful behaviour – including any
known or suspected accounting, financial or auditing irregularities or any other known
or suspected violations of the Code of Conduct across several ethics and compliance
risk areas. The policy establishes a protocol for the receipt, retention and treatment
by Lundin Mining and its subsidiaries of concerns reported from directors, officers,
employees, consultants and contractors (and their employees), shareholders, any
other parties with a business relationship with the Company, and external
stakeholders in this regard.
Tracking of
implementation and
effectiveness
The effectiveness of the policies and management systems in managing the identified business-conduct impacts and risks is monitored through established governance and
oversight processes. Information related to reported concerns, investigations and outcomes is reviewed by management and relevant Board committees as appropriate.
These monitoring activities support the identification of trends, the assessment of the adequacy of controls, and the implementation of corrective actions where required.
171
Actions and resources related to business conduct  during the year

Appendix B – Non-GAAP and Other Performance Measures
Certain non-IFRS financial measures and supplementary financial measures are included in this presentation. Lundin Mining believes that these measures, in addition to conventional measures
prepared in accordance with IFRS, provide investors an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of Lundin Mining. The non-IFRS measures are intended to provide additional information
and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prescribed in accordance with IFRS. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under
IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to other issuers.

Auditor’s limited assurance report of Lundin Mining
Corporation’s statutory sustainability statement
To the Board of Directors of Lundin Mining Corporation, corporate identity number 200601-8911
Conclusion
We have conducted a limited assurance engagement of the sustainability statement for Lundin Mining
Corporation for the financial year 2025. The sustainability statement is included on page 60-182 in this
document.
Based on our limited assurance engagement as described in the section Auditor's responsibility, nothing
has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the sustainability statement does not, in all
material respects, meet the requirements of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act which includes,
• whether the sustainability statement meets the requirements of ESRS,
• whether the process the company has carried out to identify reported sustainability information has
been conducted as described on page 69-74 “Description of the processes to identify and assess
material impacts, risks and opportunities”,
• compliance with the reporting requirements of the EU's Green Taxonomy Regulation Article 8.
Basis for conclusion
We have conducted the limited assurance engagement in accordance with FAR's recommendation RevR
19 Revisorns översiktliga granskning av den lagstadgade hållbarhetsrapporten. Our responsibility
according to this recommendation is further described in the section Auditor's responsibility.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
conclusion.
Other information than the sustainability statement
This document also contains other information than the sustainability statement and consists of the
following documents; MD&A page 2-59, Financial Statements page 187-188 and 197-252. The Board of
Directors and the President, Chief Executive Officer & Director are responsible for this other information.
Our conclusion on the sustainability statement does not cover this other information and we do not
express any form of assurance conclusion regarding this other information.
In connection with our limited assurance engagement on the sustainability statement, our responsibility is
to read the information identified above and consider whether the information is materially inconsistent
with the sustainability statement. In this procedure we also take into account our knowledge otherwise
184
obtained in the limited assurance engagement and assess whether the information otherwise appears to
be materially misstated.
If we, based on the work performed concerning this information, conclude that there is a material
misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in
this regard.
Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the President, Chief
Executive Officer and Director
The Board of Directors and the President, Chief Executive Officer and Director are responsible for the
sustainability statement in accordance with Chapter 6, Sections 12–12f of the Swedish Annual Accounts
Act, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors and the President, Chief Executive Officer and
Director determines necessary to enable the preparation of the sustainability statement that is free from
material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on whether the sustainability report has been prepared in
accordance with Chapter 6, Sections 12–12f of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act based on our review.
The limited assurance engagement has been conducted in accordance with FAR's recommendation
RevR 19 Revisorns översiktliga granskning av den lagstadgade hållbarhetsrapporten. This
recommendation requires that we plan and perform our procedures to obtain limited assurance that the
sustainability statement is prepared in accordance with these requirements.
The procedures in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from, and are less in extent
than for, a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited
assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had a
reasonable assurance engagement been performed. This means that it is not possible for us to obtain
such assurance that we become aware of all significant matters that could have been identified if a
reasonable assurance engagement had been performed.
Our firm applies ISQM 1 (International Standard on Quality Management), which requires the firm to
design, implement and operate a system of quality management, including policies and procedures
regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards, and applicable legal and
regulatory requirements.
We are independent of Lundin Mining Corporation in accordance with professional ethics for accountants
in Sweden and have otherwise fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
A limited assurance engagement involves performing procedures to obtain evidence about the
sustainability statement. The auditor selects the procedures to be performed, including assessing the
risks of material misstatements in the sustainability statement, whether due to fraud or error. In this risk
assessment, the auditor considers the parts of the internal control that are relevant to how the company
prepares the sustainability statement, in order to design procedures that are appropriate under the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of providing a conclusion on the effectiveness of the company’s
185
internal control. The review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for the
preparation of the sustainability statement, performing analytical review, and conducting other limited
review procedures.
The review procedures primarily include:
Our procedures regarding the process that the company has implemented to identify sustainability
information to be reported included, but were not limited to, the following:
• Obtaining an understanding of the process by:
– Making inquiries to understand the sources of information used by management (e.g.,
stakeholder dialogues, business plans, and strategy documents); and
– Reviewing the company’s internal documentation of its process; and
• Evaluating whether the information obtained from our actions regarding the process implemented by
the company is consistent with the description of the process on page 69-74 “Description of the
processes to identify and assess material impacts, risks and opportunities of the sustainability
statement” in the sustainability statement.
Our procedures regarding the sustainability report included, but were not limited to, the following:
• Through inquiries, obtaining a general understanding of the internal control environment, reporting
processes, and information systems relevant to the preparation of the information in the
sustainability statement.
• Evaluating whether the information identified by the Process is included in the sustainability
statement;
• Evaluating whether the structure and the presentation of the sustainability statement is in
accordance with the ESRS;
• Performing inquires of relevant personnel and analytical procedures on selected information in the
sustainability statement;
• Performing substantive assurance procedures on selected information in the sustainability
statement;
• Performing a site visit to the company’s Candelaria mine, which included, but were not limited to, the
following:
– tour of Candelaria and community operations;
– inquiry with key site and corporate personal; and
– observation and inspection of the implementation of policies and actions.;
186
• Through inquiries, substantive and analytical procedures, evaluating supporting evidence to the
methods, assumptions and data for developing significant estimates and forward-looking
information;
• Planning and performing the group limited assurance to obtain evidence regarding the sustainability
information of the entities or business units within the Company as a basis for forming a conclusion
on the Sustainability Statement. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the
work performed for purposes of the group limited assurance. We remain solely responsible for our
limited assurance conclusion.
• Obtaining an understanding of the process to identify taxonomy-eligible and taxonomy-aligned
economic activities and the corresponding disclosures in the sustainability statement
• The review of taxonomy disclosures included, but was not limited to, the following review
procedures:
• Evaluating whether the presentation of the taxonomy tables is consistent with the requirements
of the EU Green Taxonomy and the corresponding disclosures;
• Performing inquiries to company management and other relevant personnel to obtain an
understanding of the process and sources of information used in the taxonomy disclosures;
• Performing analytical review procedures regarding selected taxonomy disclosures
Inherent limitations in preparing the sustainability statement
In reporting forward-looking information in accordance with ESRS, the Board of Directors and President,
Chief Executive Officer and Director of Lundin Mining Corporation are responsible for the forward-looking
information on the basis of disclosed assumptions about events that may occur in the future and possible
future actions by Lundin Mining Corporation. Actual outcomes are likely to be different since anticipated
events frequently do not occur as expected.

Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of
the consolidated financial statements section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our
audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities
in accordance with these requirements.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our
audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. These matters were
addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our
opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Chapada cash-generating unit (CGU) goodwill
impairment assessment
Refer to note 2 – Basis of presentation and summary of
material accounting policies and note 10 – Goodwill and
asset impairment to the consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s total carrying amount of goodwill as at
December 31, 2025 was $134 million, which related to the
Chapada CGU. The Company’s goodwill is required to be
tested annually for impairment or when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may
not be recoverable. When the recoverable amount of the
Our approach to addressing the matter included the following
procedures, among others:
• Tested how management estimated the recoverable
amount of the Chapada CGU, which included the
following:
‒Tested the underlying data used by management
in the discounted cash flow model and market-
based valuation.
‒Evaluated the reasonableness of significant
assumptions such as future metal prices, foreign
exchange rate and production and capital
expenditures by (i) comparing future metal prices
191
CGU is less than the carrying amount of that CGU, an
impairment loss is recognized.
The recoverable amount of the Chapada CGU was based on
a fair value less cost of disposal method using a discounted
cash flow model and market-based approach. Management
applied significant judgment in estimating the recoverable
amount of the Chapada CGU. Significant assumptions used
by management to determine the recoverable amounts
include future metal prices, production based on estimated
quantities of mineral reserves and mineral resources,
production and capital expenditures, foreign exchange rate,
in-situ multiplies and discount rate. The recoverable amount
of the Chapada CGU determined by management exceeded
its carrying value, and as a result, no impairment loss was
recorded. Management’s estimates of production based on
estimated quantities of mineral reserves and mineral
resources are based on information compiled by qualified
persons (management’s experts).
We considered this a key audit matter due to the significant
auditor effort, subjectivity and significant judgment in
performing procedures to test significant assumptions used
by management in determining the fair value of the Chapada
CGU. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge in
the field of valuation assisted us in performing our
procedures.
and foreign exchange rate with external market
and industry data; (ii) comparing future production
and capital expenditures against current and past
performance; and (iii) assessing whether these
assumptions were consistent with evidence
obtained in other areas of the audit.
‒The work of management's experts was used in
performing the procedures to evaluate the
reasonableness of the estimates associated with
the production based on estimated quantities of
mineral reserves and mineral resources. As a basis
for using this work, the competence, capabilities
and objectivity of management’s experts were
evaluated, the work performed was understood
and the appropriateness of the work as audit
evidence was evaluated. The procedures
performed also included evaluation of the methods
and assumptions used by management’s experts,
tests of the data used by management’s experts
and an evaluation of their findings.
‒Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge
in the field of valuation assisted in assessing the
following: (i) appropriateness of the discounted
cash flow model and market-based approach to
determine the recoverable amount of the Chapada
CGU; and (ii) the reasonableness of the discount
rate and in-situ multiples.

Recoverability of the Caserones deferred tax asset
Refer to note 2 – Basis of presentation and summary of
material accounting policies and note 25 – Current and
deferred income taxes to the consolidated financial
statements.
The Company’s total deferred tax asset as at December 31,
2025 was $720 million, of which $665 million related to the
Caserones mine (“Caserones”). Deferred tax assets are
Our approach to addressing the matter included the following
procedures, among others:
• Tested how management estimated the recoverability of
the Caserones deferred tax asset, which included the
following:
‒Tested the underlying data used by management
in determining the future taxable income.
192
recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable
income will be available against which deductible temporary
differences or tax loss carry-forwards can be utilized. The
determination of the ability of the Company to utilize tax loss
carry-forwards and deductible temporary differences to
recognize deferred tax assets requires management to
exercise judgment and make certain assumptions about the
future performance of the Company. Management is required
to assess whether it is “probable” that the Company will
benefit from these prior losses and other deductible
temporary differences.
Caserones has approximately $3.9 billion in net operating
losses arising prior to the acquisition by the Company which
can be applied to future taxable income over the mine life to
reduce taxes payable in future years. In determining the
amount of the net operating losses and deductible temporary
differences which are probable to be utilized, management
has evaluated future taxable income and assessed the
probability of achieving the taxable income projections over
different planning horizons. Significant assumptions used by
management to determine the future taxable income include
future metal prices, production based on estimated quantities
of mineral reserves and mineral resources (R&R), foreign
exchange rates and production costs. Management’s
estimates of production based on estimated quantities of
R&R are based on information compiled by qualified persons
(management’s experts).
As estimation uncertainty increases with the length of the
forecast period, progressively less reliance is placed on
longer-dated forecasts when assessing the recoverability of
deferred tax assets and therefore management has used
significant judgment in assessing the probability of achieving
various levels of future taxable income.
We considered this a key audit matter due to the significant
auditor effort, subjectivity and judgment in performing
procedures to test significant assumptions used to determine
‒Assessed the appropriateness of management’s
methodology to estimate future taxable income.
‒Evaluated the reasonableness of significant
assumptions used in the determination of future
taxable income such as future metal prices, foreign
exchange rates and production costs by
(i) comparing future metal prices and foreign
exchange rates with external market and industry
data; (ii) comparing future production costs to
current and past performance of Caserones; and
(iii) assessing whether these assumptions were
consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of
the audit.
‒The work of management's experts was used in
performing the procedures to evaluate the
reasonableness of the production based on
estimated of quantities of R&R. As a basis for
using this work, the competence, capabilities and
objectivity of management's experts were
evaluated, the work performed was understood
and the appropriateness of the work as audit
evidence was evaluated. The procedures
performed also included evaluation of the methods
and assumptions used by management’s experts,
tests of the data used by management’s experts

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the
consolidated financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial
statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, and for such internal control as management
determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using
the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to
cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a
whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report
that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a
material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered
material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise
professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and
obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of
not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control.
195
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and,
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we
conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to
the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to
modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our
auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a
going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the
underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial
information of the entities or business units within the Company as a basis for forming an opinion on
the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of
the audit work performed for purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit
opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope
and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal
control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters
that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
196
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were
of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are
therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation
precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a
matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Mark Patterson.

LUNDIN MINING CORPORATION
Notes to consolidated financial statements
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Tabular amounts in millions of US dollars, except for shares and per share amounts)
1.NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Lundin Mining Corporation ("Lundin Mining" or the "Company") is a diversified Canadian base metals mining company
primarily producing copper and gold. The Company owns 80% of the Candelaria and Ojos del Salado mining complex
(“Candelaria”) and 70% of the Caserones mine, each of which are located in Chile. As at December 31, 2025, the
Company’s wholly-owned operating assets included the Chapada mine located in Brazil and the Eagle mine located in
the United States of America (“USA”). The Company also has a 50% ownership interest in Vicuña Corp., holding the
Josemaria project in Argentina and Filo del Sol project in Argentina and Chile ("Vicuña").
In December 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its 100% interest in Lundin Mining US Ltd.
and its subsidiaries (together "Eagle mine") to Talon Metals Corp. ("Talon"). The transaction was completed on January
9, 2026. As a result, the Company determined that the Eagle reporting segment met the criteria to be classified as held
for sale on December 31, 2025. The assets of Eagle mine have been classified as current assets held for sale and the
liabilities of Eagle mine have been classified as current liabilities associated with assets held for sale, and the operating
results of the Eagle reporting segment have been re-presented and included in the single line item of earnings (loss)
from discontinued operations, net of taxes, on the consolidated statement of earnings (loss) (Note 3).
On April 16, 2025, the Company completed the previously announced transaction to sell its 100% interests in
Somincor-Sociedade Mineira de Neves-Corvo, S.A. ("Neves-Corvo") in Portugal and its 100% interests in each of
Zinkgruvan Mining AB and North Atlantic Natural Resources AB (together "Zinkgruvan") in Sweden. The assets and
liabilities of the Neves-Corvo mine and the Zinkgruvan mine were classified as held for sale on December 31, 2024. The
operating results of these segments for the year ended December 31, 2024 have been re-presented as a single line
item of earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes, on the consolidated statement of earnings (loss)
(Note 3).
The Company’s common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) in Canada and the Nasdaq Stockholm
Exchange in Sweden. The Company is incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act and is domiciled in
Canada. Its principal place of business is 1055 Dunsmuir Street, Suite 2800, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(i) Basis of presentation and measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS Accounting Standards") and which
the Canadian Accounting Standards Board has approved for incorporation into Part 1 of the CPA Canada
Handbook – Accounting.
No new accounting standards or interpretations were adopted January 1, 2025.
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 of $ 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.
These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company for issue on
February 19, 2026.

LUNDIN MINING CORPORATION
Notes to consolidated financial statements
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Tabular amounts in millions of US dollars, except for shares and per share amounts)
(ii)Material accounting policies
The Company has consistently applied the accounting policies to all the years presented. The material accounting
policies applied in these consolidated financial statements are set out below.
(a) Basis of consolidation
The financial statements consist of the consolidation of the financial statements of the Company and its
subsidiaries.
Subsidiaries are entities over which the Company has control, including the power to govern the financial
and operating policies in order to obtain benefits from their activities. The existence and effect of potential
voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the
Company controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is
obtained by the Company and are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the results of the subsidiaries and associates to bring their
accounting policies in line with those used by the Company. Intra-group transactions, balances, income and
expenses are eliminated on consolidation.
For non wholly-owned subsidiaries, the net assets attributable to outside equity shareholders are presented
as non-controlling interests in the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet. Net earnings for the
period that are attributable to non-controlling interests are calculated based on the ownership of the
minority shareholders in the subsidiary.
(b) Interests in joint arrangements
A joint arrangement can take the form of a joint venture or a joint operation. All joint arrangements involve
a contractual arrangement that establishes joint control which exists when decisions about the activities
that significantly affect the returns of the investee require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
A joint venture is a joint arrangement in which the Company has rights to only the net assets of the
arrangement. A joint operation is a joint arrangement in which the Company has the rights to the assets and
obligations for the liabilities relating to the arrangement. Joint operations are accounted for by recognizing
the Company's share of the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows of the joint operation in the
consolidated financial statements.
(c) Translation of foreign currencies
The functional currency of each entity within the Company is the currency of the primary economic
environment in which it operates. The Company’s presentation currency is US dollars.
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded using the exchange
rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated
in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items
that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date
of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated at the
rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Foreign currency translation differences on
deferred foreign tax liabilities and assets are reported in deferred tax expense/recovery in the consolidated
statement of earnings (loss).
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary
items, are recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings (loss) in the period in which they arise.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in
the consolidated statement of earnings (loss).

(Tabular amounts in millions of US dollars, except for shares and per share amounts)
For the purpose of presenting the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the
Company’s foreign operations are translated into US dollars, which is the presentation currency of the
group, at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expenses are
translated at the average exchange rates for the period where these approximate the rates on the dates of
transactions.
On disposal of a foreign operation, the historical, cumulative amount of exchange differences recognized as
a separate component of equity is reclassified and recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings
(loss).
(d) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on deposit with banks and highly liquid short-term interest-
bearing investments with a term to maturity at the date of purchase of 90 days or less which are subject to
an insignificant risk of change in value.
(e) Restricted funds
Restricted funds include reclamation funds and cash on deposit that have been pledged for reclamation and
closure activities which are not available for immediate disbursement.
(f) Inventories
Ore and concentrate stockpiles and cathode inventory are valued at the lower of production cost and net
realizable value (“NRV”). Production costs include costs of materials and labour related directly to mining
and processing activities, including production phase stripping costs, depreciation and amortization of
mineral property, plant and equipment directly involved in the related mining and production process,
amortization of any stripping costs previously capitalized and directly attributable overhead costs.
Dump leach pad inventory represents ore that has been mined and placed on leach pads where a solution is
applied to the surface of the heap to dissolve the copper and by-products. The resulting solution is further
processed in a plant to recover the copper. The cost of dump leach inventory is derived from current mining
and leaching costs and is removed at the weighted average cost per recoverable pound ("lb") of copper on
the leach pads as lbs of copper are recovered. Estimates of recoverable copper on the dump leach are
calculated based on the quantities of ore placed on the leach pads (measured in tonnes added to the leach
pads), the grade of ore placed on the leach pads (based on assay data), and an estimated recovery
percentage (based on estimated recovery assumptions from the block model). The nature of the leaching
process inherently limits the ability to precisely monitor inventory levels. As a result, estimates are refined
based on actual results and engineering studies over time. The final recovery of copper from the dump leach
will not be known until the leaching process is concluded at the end of the mine life. Ore on the dump leach
that is not expected to be recovered within the next twelve months is classified as non-current.
Materials and supplies inventories are valued at the lower of average cost less allowances for obsolescence
and NRV.
If the carrying value of inventories exceeds NRV, a write-down is recognized. The write-down may be
reversed in a subsequent period if the circumstances which caused the write-down no longer exist.

(g) Mineral properties
Mineral properties are carried at cost, less accumulated depletion and any accumulated impairment
charges. Expenditures on mineral properties include:
i. Acquisition costs which consist of payments for property rights and leases, including the
estimated fair value of exploration properties acquired as part of a business combination or the
acquisition of a group of assets.
ii. Exploration, evaluation and project investigation costs incurred on an area of interest once a
determination has been made that a property has economically recoverable Mineral Resources
and Mineral Reserves (“R&R”) and there is a reasonable expectation that costs can be
recovered by future exploitation or sale of the property. Exploration, evaluation and project
investigation expenditures made prior to a determination that a property has economically
recoverable R&R are expensed as incurred.
iii. Deferred stripping costs which represent the costs incurred to remove overburden and other
waste materials to access ore in an open pit mine. Stripping costs incurred prior to the
production phase of the mine are capitalized and included as part of the carrying value of the
mineral property. During the production phase, stripping costs which provide probable future
economic benefits, identifiable improved access to the ore body and which can be measured
reliably are capitalized to mineral properties. Capitalized stripping costs are amortized using a
unit-of-production basis over the Proven and Probable Mineral Reserve to which they relate.
iv. Development costs incurred in an area of interest, once management has determined the
technical feasibility and commercial viability of a project, the project presents an appropriate
rate of return on investment, and the Board of Directors has demonstrated commitment to
advance the project. When additional development expenditures are made on a property after
commencement of production, the expenditure is capitalized as mineral property when it is
probable that additional economic benefit will be derived from future operations. Development
costs are amortized using a unit-of-production basis over the Proven and Probable Mineral
Reserve to which they relate.
v. Interest and financing costs on debt or other liabilities that are directly attributed to the
acquisition, construction and development of a qualifying asset. All other borrowing costs are
expensed as incurred.
(h) Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment
charges. For production plant and equipment, depreciation is recorded on a units-of-production basis.
Depreciation on all other plant and equipment is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful
life of the asset or over the estimated remaining life of the mine, if shorter. Residual values and useful lives
are reviewed annually. Gains and losses on disposals are calculated as proceeds received less the carrying
amount and are recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings (loss).
Useful lives are as follows:
Number of years
Buildings
8-20
Plant and machinery
3-20
Equipment
3-8

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Tabular amounts in millions of US dollars, except for shares and per share amounts)
(i) Intangible assets
Separately acquired intangible assets are initially measured at cost which is comprised of its purchase price
and any directly attributable costs of preparing the asset for its intended use. The Company depreciates
intangible assets with finite useful lives on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset.
For intangibles with an indefinite useful life, no amortization is calculated.
(j) Impairment and impairment reversals
At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether there is an indication that an asset or
group of assets within a cash generating unit (“CGU”) may be impaired. When impairment indicators exist,
the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset or CGU and compares it against the asset or
CGU’s carrying amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less cost of disposal
(“FVLCD”) and the asset or CGU’s value in use (“VIU”). If the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount,
an impairment loss is recorded in the consolidated statement of earnings (loss) during the period. If either
FVLCD or VIU exceeds the asset or CGU’s carrying amount, the asset or CGU is not impaired, and the
Company does not estimate the other amount.
In assessing VIU, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to
the CGU for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. The cash flows are based on
best estimates of expected future cash flows from the continued use of the asset or the CGU and its
eventual disposal.
FVLCD is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants, which is best evidenced if obtained from an active market or
binding sale agreement. Where neither exists, the fair value is based partly on a discounted cash flow
projections model. Costs of disposal, other than those that have been recognized as liabilities, are deducted
in measuring FVLCD.
Reversals of impairment are assessed at each reporting period where there is an indication that an
impairment loss recognized previously may no longer exist or has decreased. If an impairment reversal
indicator exists, the recoverable amount is calculated. If the recoverable amount exceeds the carrying
amount, the carrying value of the CGU is increased to the recoverable amount net of depreciation. The
increased carrying amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no
impairment loss been recognized for the CGU in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized
as a gain in the consolidated statement of earnings (loss) in the period it is determined.
(k) Business combinations and goodwill
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting whereby all
identifiable assets and liabilities are recorded at their fair values as at the date of acquisition. Any excess
purchase price over the aggregate fair value of net assets is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is identified and
allocated to CGUs, or groups of CGUs, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition.
Goodwill is not amortized. Any excess of the aggregate fair value of net assets over the purchase price is
recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings (loss).
A CGU to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment at least annually or when events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may not be recoverable. For goodwill
arising on an acquisition in a financial year, the CGU to which the goodwill has been allocated is tested for
impairment before the end of that financial year.
207
LUNDIN MINING CORPORATION
Notes to consolidated financial statements
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Tabular amounts in millions of US dollars, except for shares and per share amounts)
When the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than the carrying amount of that CGU, the impairment loss
is allocated to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to that CGU first, and then to the other
assets of that CGU on a pro-rata basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the CGU. Any impairment loss
for goodwill is recognized directly in the consolidated statement of earnings (loss). An impairment loss for
goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.
On disposal of a subsidiary, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the gain
or loss on disposal.
(l) Leases
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains a lease. A contract is,
or contains a lease, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of
time in exchange for consideration.
The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that
have a lease term of 12 months or less, and leases of low-value assets. For these leases, the Company
recognizes the lease payments as an expense in the consolidated statement of earnings (loss) on a straight-
line basis over the term of the lease.
The Company recognizes a lease liability and a right-of-use asset at the lease commencement date.
The lease liability is initially measured as the present value of future lease payments discounted using the
interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, each operation’s applicable
incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate which the operation would have to
pay to borrow, over a similar term and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of
similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
-fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable;
-variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or
rate as at the commencement date;
-amounts expected to be payable by the Company under residual value guarantees;
-the exercise price of a purchase option if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option;
and
-payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the Company expects to exercise an option to
terminate the lease.
The lease liability is subsequently measured by:
-increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability;
-reducing the carrying amount to reflect lease payments made; and
-remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications.
Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement of the
lease liability.
The lease liability is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an
index or rate, if there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a
residual value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase,
extension or termination option.
Each lease payment is allocated between the lease liability and finance cost. The finance cost is recorded as
an expense in the consolidated statement of earnings (loss) over the lease period to produce a constant
periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
208
LUNDIN MINING CORPORATION
Notes to consolidated financial statements
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Tabular amounts in millions of US dollars, except for shares and per share amounts)
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the following:
-the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;
-any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received;
-any initial direct costs incurred by the Company; and
-an estimate of costs to be incurred by the Company in dismantling and removing the underlying
asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition
required by the terms and conditions of the lease, unless those costs are incurred to produce
inventories.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and any
accumulated impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. It is depreciated
in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy for plant and equipment, from the commencement
date to the earlier of the end of its useful life or the end of the lease term.
On the consolidated balance sheet, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are reported in mineral
properties, plant and equipment and lease liabilities, respectively.
(m) Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations
Assets and businesses are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered or settled
principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. The asset or business must be
available for immediate sale and the sale must be highly probable within one year.
Assets and businesses classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value
less costs to sell ("FVLCS"). Immediately prior to reclassification to assets held for sale, the Company is
required to assess for impairment of assets of CGU's under its normal impairment policies. If the carrying
value related to a specific asset or business classified as held for sale exceeds its FVLCS an impairment loss is
recognized in the consolidated statement of (loss) earnings. No depreciation is charged on assets and
businesses classified as held for sale. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately
as current items in the consolidated balance sheet.
A discontinued operation is a component of the Company’s business that represents a separate major line
of business or geographical area of operations that has been disposed of, has been abandoned, or meets
the criteria to be classified as held for sale. Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of
continuing operations and are presented as a single amount as profit or loss after tax from discontinued
operations in the consolidated statement of earnings (loss).
(n) Reclamation and other closure provisions
The Company incurs reclamation and other closure costs related to its mining properties such as facility
decommissioning and dismantling, end of mine life severance, site restoration and ongoing environmental
monitoring. These costs are a normal consequence of mining and are dependent on the requirements of the
Company’s legal and constructive obligations, as well as any other commitments made to stakeholders. The
majority of these expenditures will be incurred at the end of the life of mine and are dependent upon a
number of factors such as the life and nature of the asset, the operating license conditions and the
environment in which the mine operates.
The future obligations for mine closure activities are estimated by the Company using mine closure plans or
other similar studies which outline the activities to be undertaken to meet regulatory and internal
requirements. Since the obligations are dependent on the laws and regulations of the countries in which the
mines operate, they are regularly evaluated by management and external experts. Costs included in the
obligations encompass all reclamation and other closure activities expected to occur progressively over the
life of the operation, at the time of closure and post-closure in connection with disturbances as at the
reporting date.
209
LUNDIN MINING CORPORATION
Notes to consolidated financial statements
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Tabular amounts in millions of US dollars, except for shares and per share amounts)
Obligations may change as a result of amendments in laws and regulations relating to environmental
protection and/or other legislation affecting resource companies. Included in the estimated obligations are
a number of significant assumptions made by management in determining closure provisions. Accordingly,
closure provisions are more uncertain the further into the future mine closure activities are expected to be
carried out.
The Company records the present value of its reclamation and other closure provisions as a liability with a
corresponding increase in the carrying value of the related asset. The provision is discounted to its net
present value using a country specific, current market, pre-tax discount rate. The unwinding of the discount,
referred to as an accretion expense, is included in finance costs in the consolidated statement of earnings
(loss) and results in an increase in the carrying amount of the liability. Reclamation obligations settled in the
year are offset against the corresponding liability. Unplanned reclamation costs are reported as either part
of the cost of inventory or recognized as a cost in the consolidated statement of earnings (loss), if they
relate to either production activities or a closed site.
The capitalized cost of the reclamation and other closure activities is recognized in the mineral property and
plant & equipment and depreciated on a unit-of-production basis over the expected mine life of the
operation or asset to which it relates. Depreciation costs are included in the consolidated statement of
earnings (loss) as part of cost of goods sold.
Changes in obligations resulting from revisions to the timing or amount of expenditures, discount rate or
foreign exchange rate are recognized as an increase or decrease in the reclamation and other closure
provision liability, and a corresponding change in the carrying amount of the related assets.
(o) Revenue recognition
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when a customer obtains control of the promised
asset and the Company satisfies its performance obligation. Revenue is allocated to each performance
obligation. The Company considers the terms of the contract in determining the transaction price. The
transaction price is based upon the amount the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for the
transferring of promised goods. The Company earns revenue from contracts with customers related to its
concentrate and copper cathode sales, and its copper, gold and silver streaming arrangements.
The Company satisfies its performance obligations for its concentrate and copper cathode sales per
specified contract terms which are generally upon shipment or delivery of an individual parcel. Revenue
from concentrate and copper cathode sales is recorded based upon forward market prices of the expected
final sales price date. The Company typically recognizes revenue when concentrate or copper cathodes have
been placed on board a vessel for shipment or delivered to a location specified by the customer.
Deferred revenue arises from up-front payments received by the Company or obligations acquired in
consideration for future commitments as specified in its various streaming arrangements. The accounting
for streaming arrangements is dependent on the facts and terms of each of the arrangements. Revenue
from streaming arrangements is recognized when the customer obtains control of the copper, gold and/or
silver metal and the Company has satisfied its performance obligations.
The Company identified significant financing components related to its streaming arrangements resulting
from a difference in the timing of the up-front consideration received and delivery of the promised goods.
Interest expense on deferred revenue is recognized in finance costs, or in mineral properties, plant and
equipment if directly attributable to the acquisition, construction and development of a qualifying asset.
The interest rate is determined based on the rate implicit in each streaming agreement at the date of
inception or acquisition.
The initial consideration received from the streaming arrangements is considered variable, subject to
changes in the total copper, gold and silver volumes to be delivered. Changes to variable consideration are
reflected in revenue in the consolidated statement of earnings (loss).

(p) Share-based compensation
The Company grants share-based awards in the form of share options and share units to certain employees
in exchange for the provision of services. The share options and share units are equity-settled awards. The
Company determines the fair value of the awards on the date of grant. This fair value is charged to the
consolidated statement of earnings (loss) using a graded vesting attribution method over the vesting period
of the awards, with a corresponding credit to contributed surplus. When the share options or share units
are exercised, the applicable amounts of contributed surplus are transferred to share capital. At the end of
the reporting period, the Company updates its estimate of the number of awards that are expected to vest
and adjusts the total expense to be recognized over the vesting period. The Company also grants share-
based awards to non-employee Directors in the form of deferred share units (“DSUs”) in exchange for the
provision of services. DSUs are liability awards settled in cash and measured at the quoted market price at
the grant date. The corresponding liability is adjusted for changes in fair value at each subsequent reporting
date until the awards are settled. The fair value of the DSUs are expensed at the grant date and subsequent
changes to fair value are charged to the consolidated statement of earnings (loss).
(q) Current and deferred income taxes
Income tax expense represents the sum of current and deferred tax. Current taxes payable is based on
taxable earnings for the year. Taxable earnings may differ from earnings before income tax as reported in
the consolidated statement of earnings (loss) because it may exclude items of income or expense that are
taxable or deductible in other years and it may further exclude items of income or expense that are never
taxable or deductible. The Company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been
enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the assets and
liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on either the same taxable
entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balance on a net basis.
Deferred tax is recognized on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the
financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable earnings. Deferred
tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are
recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which
deductible temporary differences or tax loss carryforwards can be utilized. Such assets and liabilities are not
recognized if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a
business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable earnings
nor the accounting earnings. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences arising
on investments in subsidiaries and investments in associates, except where the Company is able to control
the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse
in the foreseeable future. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date
and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable earnings will be available to
allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is
settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively
enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is charged or credited to earnings, except when it relates to
items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is reflected in equity.
(r) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during each reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated assuming the proceeds from the
exercise of “in-the-money” share-based arrangements are used to purchase common shares at the average
market price during the period.

(s) Financial instruments
Financial instruments are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet on the trade date, the date on
which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. The Company
classifies its financial instruments in the following categories:
Financial Assets at Amortized Cost
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely
payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. The Company intends to hold these
receivables until cash flows are collected. Receivables are recognized initially at fair value, net of any
transaction costs incurred and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest
method. The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on a financial asset that is
measured at amortized cost.
Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss (“FVTPL”)
Financial assets measured at FVTPL are assets which do not qualify as financial assets at amortized cost or
those not designated in hedge relationships.
Provisionally priced trade receivables are measured at FVTPL as some or all of the cash flows are dependent
on commodity prices. These receivables are initially measured at their transaction price. Subsequent
changes to provisionally priced trade receivables are recorded in the consolidated statement of earnings
(loss) as revenue from other sources. 
Marketable securities, equity investments, and derivative assets not designated in hedge relationships are
classified as FVTPL. These financial assets are initially recognized at their fair value with changes to fair
values recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings (loss).
Financial Liabilities at Amortized Cost
Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, unless they are
required to be measured at FVTPL, or the Company has opted to measure them at FVTPL. Long-term debt is
recognized initially at fair value, net of any transaction costs incurred, and subsequently at amortized cost
using the effective interest method.
Financial Liabilities at FVTPL
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are liabilities that cannot be classified as amortized cost which include
embedded derivatives and derivative liabilities not designated in hedge relationships. Financial liabilities at
FVTPL are initially recognized at fair value with changes to fair values recognized in the consolidated
statement of earnings (loss).
The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial
assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all of the associated risks and
rewards of ownership. Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in the consolidated
statement of earnings (loss).
The Company derecognizes financial liabilities only when its obligations under the financial liabilities are
discharged, cancelled or expelled. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability
derecognized and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities
assumed, is recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings (loss).

(Tabular amounts in millions of US dollars, except for shares and per share amounts)
The Company may enter into derivative instruments to mitigate exposures to commodity price and currency
exchange rate fluctuations, among other exposures. Unless the derivative instruments qualify for hedge
accounting, and management undertakes appropriate steps to designate them as such, they are classified as
financial assets or liabilities at FVTPL and recorded at their fair value with realized and unrealized gains or
losses arising from changes in the fair value recorded in the consolidated statement of earnings (loss) in the
period they occur. Fair values for derivative instruments are determined using valuation techniques. The
valuations use assumptions based on prevailing market conditions on the reporting date.
(iii)New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
In April 2024, the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") issued IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure
in Financial Statements, which replaces IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces a
specified structure for the income statement by requiring income and expenses to be presented into three
defined categories (operating, investing, and financing) and by specifying certain defined totals and subtotals.
Where company-specific measures related to the income statement are provided ("management-defined
performance measures"), IFRS 18 requires disclosure of the explanations around those measures. IFRS 18 also
provides additional guidance on principles of aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial
statements and notes. IFRS 18 will not impact the recognition and measurement of items in the financial
statements, nor will it impact which items are classified in other comprehensive income and how these items are
classified. The standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, including for
interim financial statements. Retrospective application is required and early application is permitted.
The Company has completed a preliminary evaluation of the impact of IFRS 18 on the presentation of the
statements of financial position, earnings (loss) and cash flows. The Company has commenced system and
process changes to allow tracking of certain items for presentation in accordance with IFRS 18 in comparative
period financial statements. The Company continues to assess other matters related to the implementation of
this new standard on its financial statements.
IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosures
In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. These
amendments updated classification and measurement requirements in IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and related
disclosure requirements in IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: disclosures. The IASB clarified the recognition and
derecognition date of certain financial assets and liabilities, and amended the requirements related to settling
financial liabilities using an electronic payment system. Moreover, the amendments clarify the assessment of the
contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets in determining whether they meet the solely payments of
principal and interest (SPPI) criterion, including financial assets that have environmental, social and corporate
governance (ESG)-linked features and other similar contingent features. The IASB added disclosure requirements
for financial instruments with contingent features that do not relate directly to basic lending risks and costs, and
amended disclosures relating to equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive
income.
Additionally in December 2024, the IASB published amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 - Contracts Referencing
Nature dependent Electricity. The amendments clarify the application of the ‘own-use’ requirements for in-scope
contracts, amend the designation requirements for a hedged item in a cash flow hedging relationship for in-scope
contracts, and add new disclosure requirements.
These amendments apply retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026, with
early application permitted.
The Company does not expect the adoption of the amendments to have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements or require a restatement of the comparative period.

(iv)Estimation uncertainty and judgements in applying the entity’s accounting policies
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards requires the
use of certain critical accounting estimates and judgements. These estimates and judgements are based on
management’s best knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances taking into account previous experience,
but actual results may differ materially from the amounts included in the financial statements.
Areas of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year include:
Depreciation, depletion and amortization of mineral properties, plant and equipment - Mineral properties,
plant and equipment comprise a large component of the Company’s assets and as such, the depreciation,
depletion and amortization of these assets have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements. Upon
commencement of commercial production, the Company depletes mineral property over the life of the mine
based on the depletion of the mine’s Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves. In the case of mining equipment or
other assets, if the useful life of the asset is shorter than the life of the mine, the asset is amortized over its
expected useful life.
Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves are determined based on a professional evaluation using accepted
international standards for the estimation of Mineral Reserves. The assessment involves geological and
geophysical studies, economic data and the reliance on a number of assumptions. The estimates of the Mineral
Reserves may change based on additional knowledge gained subsequent to the initial assessment. This may
include additional data available from continuing exploration, results from the reconciliation of actual mining
production data against the original Mineral Reserve estimates, or the impact of economic factors such as
changes in the price of commodities or the cost of components of production. A change in the original estimate
of Mineral Reserves would result in a change in the rate of depreciation, depletion and amortization of the
related mineral assets.
Valuation of long-term inventory - The Company carries its long-term inventory at the lower of production cost
and NRV. If the carrying value exceeds the net realizable amount, a write-down is required. The write-down may
be reversed in a subsequent period if the circumstances which caused it no longer exist.
The Company reviews NRV at least annually. In particular, for the NRV of long-term inventory, the Company
makes significant estimates in its use of a discounted NRV model related to future production plans, forecasted
commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, inventory quantities, future capital and production costs to complete,
estimates of recoverable copper in leach pads, and the discount rate. These estimates are subject to various risks
and uncertainties and may have an effect on the NRV estimate and the carrying value of the long-term inventory.
Valuation of mineral properties - The Company carries its mineral properties at cost, less accumulated depletion
and any accumulated provision for impairment. The Company undertakes a review of the carrying values of
mineral properties and related expenditures whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their
carrying values may exceed their estimated net recoverable amounts determined by reference to estimated
future operating results and discounted net cash flows. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying value
of those assets is not recoverable. Where a previous impairment has been recorded, the Company analyzes any
reverse impairment indicators. Impairment reversals are recognized in subsequent periods when there has been
a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was
recognized. In undertaking this review, management of the Company is required to make significant estimates of,
amongst other things, future production and sale volumes, metal prices, foreign exchange rates, R&R quantities,
future capital and production costs and reclamation costs to the end of the mine’s life. These estimates are
subject to various risks and uncertainties which may ultimately have an effect on the expected recoverability of
the carrying values of the mineral properties and related expenditures.

(Tabular amounts in millions of US dollars, except for shares and per share amounts)
Goodwill - The amount by which the purchase price of a business acquisition exceeds the fair value of identifiable
assets and liabilities acquired is recorded as goodwill. Estimates of recoverable value may be impacted by
changes in future metal prices, foreign exchange rates, production based on estimated quantities of R&R,
production and capital expenditures, pricing of in-situ mineral resources implied by the market value of selected
comparable transactions involving the sale of similar companies and mineral properties, and discount rates.
Changes in estimates could have a material impact on the carrying value of the goodwill. Management's
estimates of production based on quantities of R&R are based on information compiled by qualified persons
(management's experts).
Reclamation and other closure provisions - The Company incurs reclamation and other closure costs related to
its mining properties. The future obligations for mine closure activities are estimated by the Company using mine
closure plans or other similar studies which outline the activities to be undertaken to meet regulatory and
internal requirements. Since the obligations are dependent on the laws and regulations of the countries in which
the mines operate, they are regularly reviewed by management and external experts, and could change as a
result of amendments to the laws and regulations. Included in the estimated obligations are a number of
significant assumptions made by management, including nominal discount rates, inflation rates and foreign
exchange rates. Accordingly, closure provisions are more uncertain the further into the future the mine closure
activities are to be carried out.
Valuation of deferred tax assets - The valuation of deferred tax assets is sensitive to significant assumptions used
in forecasting future taxable income including future metal prices, production based on estimated quantities of
R&R, foreign exchange rates, and production costs. These estimates are subject to various risks and uncertainties
which may ultimately have an effect on the future taxable income which support the valuation of deferred tax
assets. Management’s estimates of production based on estimated quantities of R&R are based on information
compiled by qualified persons (management’s experts).
Significant judgements in applying accounting policies
The following are the judgements, apart from those involving estimations, that management has made in
applying the Company’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized
in the consolidated financial statements.
Deferred tax assets - The determination of the ability of the Company to utilize tax loss carry‐forwards and
deductible temporary differences to recognize deferred tax assets requires management to exercise judgment
and make certain assumptions about the future performance of the Company. Management is required to assess
whether it is “probable” that the Company will benefit from these prior losses and other deductible temporary
differences.
Caserones has approximately $3.9 billion in net operating losses arising prior to the acquisition by the Company
which can be applied to future taxable income over the mine life to reduce taxes payable in future years. In
determining the amount of the net operating losses and deductible temporary differences which are probable to
be utilized, management has evaluated forecast taxable income and assessed the probability of achieving the
taxable income projections over different planning horizons. Management has also considered the level of
uncertainty associated with future events outside of the Company’s control, including future commodity prices,
foreign exchange rates, labour disruptions, political and regulatory stability, climate-related events, and
geotechnical conditions. As estimation uncertainty increases with the length of the forecast period, progressively
less reliance is placed on longer-dated forecasts when assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets and
therefore management has used significant judgment in assessing the probability of achieving various levels of
future taxable income.
Assessment of impairment and reverse impairment indicators - Management applies significant judgement in
assessing whether indicators of impairment or reversal of impairment exist for a CGU which would necessitate
impairment testing. Internal and external factors used by management to determine whether indicators exist
include, but are not limited to, significant changes in the use of the asset, commodity prices, foreign exchange
rates, the Company's market capitalization, capital and production forecasts, R&R quantities, and discount rates.

Contingent liabilities - Contingent liabilities are possible obligations that arise from past events which will be
confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of future events. These contingencies are not recognized in the
consolidated financial statements when the obligation is not probable or if the obligation cannot be measured
reliably. The Company exercises significant judgment when determining the probability of the future outcome
and with regard to any required disclosure of contingencies, and measuring the liability is a significant estimate.
Joint arrangements - The Company is party to Vicuña, an arrangement over which it does not have control.
Significant judgment is required in determining whether joint control over the arrangement exists and, if so,
which parties have joint control, and whether the arrangement is a joint venture or a joint operation. In assessing
whether the Company has joint control, management analyzes the activities of an arrangement to determine
which activities most significantly affect the returns of the arrangement over its life. If joint control over the
arrangement exists, an assessment of whether the arrangement is a joint venture or a joint operation is required.
This assessment is based on whether the Company retains rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities,
relating to the arrangement or the Company only has the rights to the net assets of the arrangement is more
applicable. In making this determination, management reviews the legal form of the arrangement, the terms of
the contractual arrangement, and other facts and circumstances. In a situation where the legal form and the
terms of the contractual arrangement do not give the Company rights to the assets and obligations for the
liabilities, an assessment of other facts and circumstances is required, including whether the activities of the
arrangement are primarily designed for the provision of output to the parties and whether the parties are
substantially the only source of cash flows contributing to the arrangement. These assessments require judgment
and are specific to each arrangement.
3.ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Disposal of Eagle mine
On December 18, 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its 100% interest in the Eagle mine to
Talon (the "Definitive Agreement"). The transaction completed on January 9, 2026. Under the terms of the agreement,
the Company received 275.2 million common shares of Talon which, along with the Company's existing 1.57% interest
in Talon, resulted in the Company owning 19.86% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Talon on
completion of the transaction. The Company will also receive ore delivery payments of $1.00 per tonne for any non-
Eagle ore processed through the Humboldt mill, to a maximum of $20.0 million. The transaction consideration is
subject to customary working capital adjustments.
As at December 31, 2025, the Eagle mine reporting segment met the criteria to be classified as held for sale and
discontinued operations. The results of this operation have been re-presented for the current and comparative years
to reclassify the earnings (loss) as earnings (loss) from discontinued operations. All assets and liabilities relating to the
Eagle mine reporting segment have been classified as current assets and current liabilities held for sale at December
31, 2025.
The Company is required to assess the Eagle mine CGU for impairment or impairment reversal immediately prior to its
reclassification as held for sale. On December 31, 2025, the recoverable amount of the Eagle mine CGU exceeded its
carrying value and a partial impairment reversal of $88.4 million ($69.8 million net of tax) was recorded in net earnings
(loss) from discontinued operations. The recoverable amount was based on consideration as established by the
Definitive Agreement. An impairment charge of $104.9 million ($82.8 million net of tax) was previously recorded for
the Eagle mine at December 31, 2024 due to a decline in nickel prices and prolonged rehabilitation of the Eagle East
ramp.

Disposal of European operations
On December 9, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its 100% interests in the Neves-Corvo
and Zinkgruvan mines to Boliden AB ("Boliden"). The transaction constitutes the sale of all of the Company's European
operating assets allowing the Company to focus on its copper-dominant assets in South America. The transaction
completed on April 16, 2025 and the Company received cash consideration of $1.4 billion.
The Company may also receive up to $150.0 million in contingent cash consideration if certain metal price thresholds
are met. These include a percentage of incremental revenue realized at the Neves-Corvo mine in each of the three
calendar years between 2025 and 2027 and at the Zinkgruvan mine between 2025 and 2026. The estimated fair value
of the contingent consideration on April 16, 2025 was $44.1 million (Note 26). Contingent consideration is revalued at
each reporting period with changes recorded in net earnings (loss) from discontinued operations. At December 31,
2025, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $85.7 million, of which $42.9 million is included in other
current assets and $42.8 million is included in contingent consideration and other non-current assets (Note 8) in the
consolidated balance sheet. For the year ended December 31, 2025, a realized and unrealized gain on the revaluation
of the contingent consideration of $5.5 million and $41.5 million, respectively were recorded in net earnings (loss)
from discontinued operations.
On completion of the disposal of the European operations, the Company recognized a gain on disposal of $106.4
million, net of income tax, calculated as follows:

4.ACQUISITION OF FILO AND FORMATION OF VICUÑA
On January 15, 2025, the Company, together with BHP Investments Canada Inc. ("BHP"), completed the acquisition of
Filo Corp. ("Filo") through a plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”). The Company’s share of the consideration for
the Arrangement was $610.7 million (C$877.8 million) in cash and 94.1 million of the Company’s shares to Filo
shareholders, along with its existing 1.7% interest in Filo (prior to completion). BHP's share of the consideration for the
Arrangement was $1.4 billion (C$2.0 billion) in cash, along with its existing 7.0% interest in Filo (prior to completion).
Concurrently, BHP paid the Company cash consideration of $689.5 million for a 50% interest in the Josemaria project,
and the Company and BHP formed the Vicuña 50/50 independently managed joint arrangement holding interests in
the Filo del Sol project and the Josemaria project (the "Vicuña Project").
The Company has concluded the Vicuña joint arrangement is a joint operation upon considering other facts and
circumstances, such as the right and the obligation to take a share of the output of the arrangement. Accordingly, the
Company includes its 50% share of the respective assets, liabilities, expenses, and cash flows of Vicuña in the
consolidated financial statements of the Company.
The purchase price of Filo (50% share) is as follows:
Cash consideration
$610.7
Fair value of 94,074,959 common shares issued by the Company (a) (b)
799.8
Transaction costs

Total purchase price
$1,470.5
a)The fair value of the common shares issued was determined using the Company’s share price of C$12.22 and
foreign exchange rate of USD/CAD: 1.437 at the close of business on January, 15, 2025. 
b)    Immediately prior to the acquisition of Filo, the Company held 2,264,924 Filo shares with a fair value of $49.9
million (December 31, 2024 - $50.2 million).
The Company's initial interest in Vicuña as at January 15, 2025, including transaction costs, is comprised of the

LUNDIN MINING CORPORATION
Notes to consolidated financial statements
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Tabular amounts in millions of US dollars, except for shares and per share amounts)
The Company performs an impairment assessment annually, or more frequently if there are impairment indicators, for
the carrying amount of its CGUs where goodwill is allocated.
The recoverable value of a CGU is determined using the FVLCD method applied by using a discounted cash flow model
based on life-of-mine financial plans, and a market-based approach. Significant assumptions used by management to
determine the recoverable amount include future metal prices, production based on estimated quantities of R&R,
production and capital expenditures, foreign exchange rates, pricing of in-situ mineral resources implied by the market
value of selected comparable transactions involving the sale of similar companies and mineral properties, and discount
rates.
For the 2025 assessment, future metal prices and foreign exchange rates used in the discounted cash flow models are
determined with reference to market consensus estimates observed during the fourth quarter of 2025. The valuation
of recoverable amount is most sensitive to changes in metal prices, exchange rates, discount rates and pricing of in-
situ mineral resources.
Production costs and capital expenditures included in the discounted cash flow models are based on operating plans
which consider past and estimated future performance.
Inputs utilized in the discounted cash flow models were based on level 3 fair value measurements (Note 26), which
were not based on observable market data. The R&R were based on the Company’s last published estimate dated
December 31, 2025. Incorporated in the FVLCD are fair value estimates developed by the Company for mineral
resources not captured in the cash flow projections model. These estimates are valued using third-party market
information, which includes pricing of in-situ mineral resources implied by the market value of selected comparable
transactions involving the sale of similar companies and mineral properties.
Chapada
For the Chapada CGU impairment review, the Company used a FVLCD model (level 3 measurement). For the years
ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company determined that the recoverable amount of the Chapada CGU was
higher than its carrying value, and therefore no impairment was recognized. Management applied significant
judgement in estimating the recoverable amount of the Chapada CGU.
Sensitivity analysis was performed on the cash flow model for Chapada. At December 31, 2025, changes in key inputs
such as metal prices (+/-5%), foreign exchange rates (+/-5%) and the discount rate (+/-1%) did not have a material
impact on the result of the Company’s goodwill impairment assessment.

Neves-Corvo
An impairment charge of $291.2 million ($270.3 million net of tax) was recorded in December 2024 relating to the
Neves-Corvo reporting segment to recognize goodwill, mining rights and mineral properties at their estimated fair
value, based on the expected sales price as established by the sale to Boliden (level 2 measurement). The impairment
charge includes $90.7 million allocated to the Neves-Corvo goodwill.
Ojos
In January 2025 the Company received a notice from the Superintendencia del Medio Ambiente (“SMA”), following its
investigative proceedings involving the sinkhole that occurred at the Alcaparrosa mine in 2022. The Alcaparrosa mine
225
LUNDIN MINING CORPORATION
Notes to consolidated financial statements
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Tabular amounts in millions of US dollars, except for shares and per share amounts)
is included in the Ojos CGU. The notice levied a fine of $3.3 million and ordered the continued closure of the
Alcaparrosa mine, at which mining operations have been suspended since the incident occurred in 2022. As a result,
an impairment charge of $55.9 million ($41.6 million net of tax) was recorded in December 2024 relating to the Ojos
CGU to write off goodwill and the remaining carrying values of underground development and mine infrastructure.
The impairment charge includes $10.7 million allocated to the Ojos goodwill.
b) Other Asset Impairment
At every reporting period, the Company assesses whether there is an indication that an asset or group of assets may
be impaired. When impairment indicators exist, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset and
compares it against the asset's carrying amount.
Suruca
In February 2025, the Company removed the Suruca gold deposit from Mineral Reserves as development is not
contemplated in the current life-of-mine plan. The Suruca gold deposit is included in the Chapada segment. This was
considered an indicator of impairment for the Suruca mineral property asset. An impairment of $93.4 million ($61.7
million net of tax) was recorded in earnings in December 2024 to reduce the carrying value of the mineral property
asset to nil.

Consideration received under the Company’s gold, silver and copper streaming agreements is deemed to be variable
and can be subject to cumulative adjustments when the contractual volume to be delivered changes. As a result of
changes to the Company’s R&R, adjustments have been made to the deferred revenue liability for 2024 and 2025
which were recognized through revenue and finance costs.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized finance costs at a weighted average rate of 5.2%
(2024 - 5.5%) on the deferred revenue balances.
a)  Candelaria
The Company entered into a stream agreement with Franco-Nevada Corporation (“FN”), whereby the Company
has agreed to sell 68% of all the gold and silver contained in production from Candelaria until 720,000 ounces
("oz") of gold and 12 million oz of silver have been delivered. Thereafter, FN will be entitled to purchase 40% of the
gold and silver production from Candelaria. The Company received an up-front payment of $648 million which is
being recognized as gold and silver are delivered to FN under the contract.
For each ounce of gold and silver delivered, FN makes payments equal to the lesser of the prevailing market prices
and approximately $433/oz of gold and $4.32/oz of silver (2024 - $429/oz of gold and $4.28/oz of silver), subject to
a 1% annual inflationary adjustment. In 2025, approximately 51,000 oz of gold and 1,101,000 oz of silver (2024 -
approximately 59,000 oz of gold and 1,225,000 oz of silver) were subject to the terms of the streaming agreement.
As at December 31, 2025, approximately 654,000 oz of gold and 11,092,000 oz of silver have cumulatively been
subject to the terms of the streaming agreement (2024 - 603,000 oz of gold and 9,991,000 oz of silver).
The deferred revenue balance as at December 31, 2025 at Candelaria is $330.2 million (December 31, 2024 -
$368.0 million).

b)  Chapada mine
The Company assumed the following streaming agreements with Sandstorm Gold Ltd., now International Royalty
Corporation ("IRC"), a subsidiary of Royal Gold, Inc., and Altius Minerals Corporation (“Altius”) when the Chapada
mine was acquired.
IRC is entitled to purchase the lesser of 3.9 million pounds (“Mlbs”) or 4.2% of the payable copper produced
annually from Chapada at 30% of the market price. The percentage of payable copper is subject to two reduction
thresholds. Once an aggregate of 39 Mlbs has been delivered, the percentage of payable copper reduces to 3.0%.
Upon delivery of 50 Mlbs of copper in aggregate, the percentage of payable copper reduces to 1.5% for the
remaining life of mine. In 2025, approximately 4.2 Mlbs (2024 - 3.6 Mlbs) were delivered under this agreement. As
at December 31, 2025, approximately 37.4 Mlbs (2024 - 33.2 Mlbs) have cumulatively been delivered under this
agreement.
Altius is entitled to purchase 3.7% of the payable copper produced from Chapada at 30% of the market price. The
percentage of payable copper is subject to two reduction thresholds. In the event of a specified expansion at
Chapada, the percentage of payable copper reduces to 2.65%. Also, upon delivery of 75 Mlbs of copper in
aggregate, the percentage of payable copper reduces to 1.5% for the remaining life of mine. In 2025,
approximately 3.5 Mlbs (2024 - 3.3 Mlbs) were delivered under this agreement. As at December 31, 2025,
approximately 36.8 Mlbs (2024 - 33.3 Mlbs) have cumulatively been delivered under this agreement.
The deferred revenue balance as at December 31, 2025 at Chapada is $130.4 million (December 31, 2024 - $139.7
million).

Notes to consolidated financial statements
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Tabular amounts in millions of US dollars, except for shares and per share amounts)
i) Time-vesting SUs
During 2025 , the Company granted 456,015 time-vesting SUs to employees and officers that expire in 2028.
These SUs vest three years from the grant date with the number of SUs being fixed, and with no vesting
conditions other than service. The fair value of the time-vesting SUs are based on the market value of the
shares on the date of the grant and an estimated forfeiture rate of approximately 11% (2024 - 11%). The
weighted average fair value per time-vesting SU granted during 2025 was C$12.03 (2024 - C$10.71). The
Company incurred share-based compensation related expenditures of $3.0 million for 2025 (2024 - $2.9
million) with a corresponding credit to contributed surplus related to time-vesting SUs. As at December 31,
2025, there was $3.2 million (2024 - $4.3 million) of unamortized stock-based compensation expense
related to time-vesting SUs.
ii) Performance-vesting SUs
During 2025, the Company granted 434,167 performance-vesting SUs to officers that expire in 2028. These
SUs vest three years from the grant date with the number of SUs being variable, which can range from zero
to 868,334 contingent upon achieving predetermined performance criteria related to the Company's share
price over the three-year period. The fair value of the performance-vesting SUs are based on a Monte Carlo
model and an estimated forfeiture rate of approximately 11% (2024 - 11%). The weighted average fair value
per performance-vesting SU granted during 2025 was C$11.74 (2024 - C$10.71). The Company incurred
share-based compensation related expenditures of $2.6 million for 2025 (2024 - $2.0 million) with a
corresponding credit to contributed surplus related to performance-vesting SUs. As at December 31, 2025,
there was $2.8 million (2024 - $3.2 million) of unamortized stock-based compensation expense related to
performance-vesting SUs.
During 2025, 327,364 common shares (2024 - 318,679) were issued as a result of SUs being vested.
(c) Stock options
The Company’s Stock Option Plan provides for stock option awards to be granted by the Board of Directors to
certain employees of the Company. The term of any stock options granted under the Stock Option Plan may not
exceed seven years from the date of grant. The maximum number of stock options that are issuable under the
Stock Option Plan is 42,000,000. The vesting requirements are established by the Board of Directors.
The Company uses the fair value method of accounting for the recording of stock options. Under this method, the
Company incurred share-based compensation related expenditures of $5.5 million for 2025 (2024 - $1.4 million)
with a corresponding credit to contributed surplus.
During 2025, the Company granted 1,808,370 stock options to employees and officers that expire in 2032. The
stock options vest over three years from the grant date. The Black-Scholes option pricing model used to
determine the fair value of the stock options at the date of the grant assumed a dividend yield of 3%, risk-free
interest rate of 2.29% to 3.70% (2024 - 2.29% to 3.70%), expected life of 3.3 years (2024 - 4.7 years) and expected
price volatility of 45% (2024 - 46% to 48%). Volatility is determined using the historical daily volatility over the
expected life of the options. A forfeiture rate of approximately 11% was applied (2024 - 11%). The weighted
average fair value per stock option granted during 2025 was C$3.39 (2024 - C$2.24). As at December 31, 2025,
there was $2.3 million of unamortized stock-based compensation expense (2024 - $0.5 million) related to stock
options.
During 2025, 1,257,659 and 102,617 common shares were issued as a result of stock options and replacement
options, respectively, being exercised (2024 - 2,822,650 and 109,077).

become applicable for Caserones in 2028 when its tax stability agreement expires. In addition to the ad-valorem
tax, both operations in Chile are expected to pay mining tax of approximately 8% - 15% on net mining income. 
The maximum effective tax rate for the combined mining royalty, corporate income tax and final taxes in Chile is
set at 46.5%.
Due to changes in future production and mining operating margin estimates, the Company recognized $31.2
million of deferred tax recovery at Candelaria (2024 - $23.3 million deferred tax expense) and $6.6 million of
deferred tax recovery at Caserones (2024 - $8.3 million).
c)Deferred tax expense associated with temporary differences for which no deferred tax assets were recognized
includes $10.6 million at Candelaria (2024 - $29.7 million), $3.5 million in Canada (2024 - $14.1 million), $11.5
million in Bermuda (2024 - $nil) and $7.8 million in Switzerland (2024 - $nil).
d)The revaluation of non-monetary assets in Brazil from the local currency BRL to USD resulted in a deferred tax
recovery of $34.2 million at Chapada (2024 - $51.3 million deferred tax expense).
e)Includes the recognition of $665.0 million of previously unrecognized deferred tax assets at Caserones (2024 -
$64.8 million), primarily related to tax losses and property plant & equipment.

Global Minimum Top-up Tax - Pillar Two
The Company is within the scope of OECD Pillar Two model rules. Among the jurisdictions where the Company
operates, Pillar Two legislation has been enacted in Sweden, Canada, Brazil and the Netherlands.
The Company applies the exception to recognizing and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities
as provided by the amendments to IAS 12 in May 2023. The Company also accounts for any top up taxes as a current
tax when it is incurred. The Company has performed an analysis of the Global Minimum Tax rules including country-by-
country reporting (CbCR) safe harbour test, and concluded that no top-up tax was required in 2025.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for tax loss carry-forwards and other temporary differences to the extent that the
realization of the related tax benefit through future taxable profits is probable. The Company determined that it is
probable that sufficient future taxable profits will be available to allow the benefit of the deferred tax assets to be
utilized. 
The Company did not recognize deferred tax assets of $486.0 million (2024 - $1,058.7 million) in respect of losses
amounting to $1,815.6 million (2024 - $3,924.3 million) that can be applied against future taxable income.
Caserones has approximately $3.9 billion in tax losses which can be applied to future taxable income over the mine
life. A deferred tax asset of $665.4 million has been recognized at Caserones in respect of these losses and deductible
temporary differences.
Sensitivity analysis was performed on the underlying forecast taxable profits model for Caserones. A 5% reduction to
forecast metal prices would decrease the deferred tax asset by approximately $134.4 million and a 5% weakening of
USD:CLP foreign exchange rate would increase the deferred tax asset by $40.1 million.
Deferred tax liabilities have not been recognized on $1.2 billion of taxable temporary differences from unremitted
earnings of foreign subsidiaries and joint arrangements, because the Company controls when these differences
reverse and does not expect them to reverse in the foreseeable future.

26.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. The Company maintains foreign currency forward and option contracts on
CAD, BRL, and CLP foreign currencies intended to limit the foreign exchange exposure of its forecasted foreign
currency denominated after-tax attributable operating and capital expenditures. Additional commodity forward swap
and option contracts are used from time to time to limit exposure to changes in the price of diesel fuel purchases at
Candelaria, and to limit exposure to changes in the price of gold.
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 statements of
earnings.
The following tables outline the foreign currency and commodity derivative notional contract positions and their

Fair values of financial instruments are determined by valuation methods depending on hierarchy levels as defined
below:
Level 1 – Quoted market price in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or
liabilities, either directly (i.e. observed prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 – Inputs for the assets or liabilities are not based on observable market data.
The Company estimates fair values based on the following methods of valuation and assumptions:
Marketable securities/debt and equity investments/restricted funds – The fair value of investments in shares and
bonds is determined based on the quoted market price.
Trade receivables/pricing provisions on concentrate sales – The fair value of trade receivables that contain
provisional pricing sales arrangements are valued using quoted forward market prices. The Company recognized
positive pricing adjustments of $311.8 million in revenue during the year ended December 31, 2025 (December
31, 2024 -  $7.8 million positive pricing adjustments).
246
LUNDIN MINING CORPORATION
Notes to consolidated financial statements
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Tabular amounts in millions of US dollars, except for shares and per share amounts)
Foreign currency and commodity contracts – The fair value of these derivatives are determined by the
counterparties to the contracts and are assessed by Management using pricing models based on active market
prices.
Contingent consideration – The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated by calculating the
present value of the future expected cash flows from the contingent copper and zinc payments related to the 
Neves-Corvo mine and Zinkgruvan mine based on probability-weighted scenarios of future copper and zinc
prices.
Caserones deferred consideration – The fair value of the Caserones deferred consideration has been discounted
at the estimated credit adjusted risk free rate applicable to future payments.
Debt – The fair values approximate carrying values as the interest rates are comparable to current market rates.
The carrying values of certain financial instruments maturing in the short-term approximate their fair values.
These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables other than those
provisionally priced, and trade and other payables other than those provisionally priced, which are classified as
amortized cost.
27. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
a)The Company has capital commitments of $327.0 million on various initiatives of which $323.7 million and $3.3
million relate to continuing and discontinued operations, respectively. Capital commitments of $197.0 million are
expected to be paid during 2026 of which $193.7 million is related to continuing operations.
b)The Company has been provided with an indemnity for any tax liabilities that may arise for periods prior to the
date of the Chapada acquisition in July 2019. For identified tax claims existing at the date of acquisition, the
Company has agreed to be liable for up to the first $21.0 million (BRL 101.5 million). While the outcome of these
tax claims is uncertain, no material liabilities have been accrued as the Company believes material payment is not
likely due to the nature of the tax claims.
c)In respect of the 2017 taxation year, the Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA") issued a reassessment denying the
Company’s 2007 election to increase the tax cost of its investment in a subsidiary. The reassessment proposes an
increase in taxable income of approximately $456 million, which would result in additional income taxes payable
of approximately $114.1 million and interest of approximately $46.2 million. The Company filed a Notice of
Objection on January 28, 2026 and will vigorously and expeditiously defend its tax filing position through CRA's
Appeals Division and, if required, court proceedings. No provision has been recognized as the Company believes
its filing position is in compliance with Canadian tax law.
d)The following summarizes total tax exposure under two contradictory assessments received from the Chilean
Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). Given that the assessments relate to the same issue, the Company’s potential
exposure is expected to be limited to one of the below scenarios:
i)For taxation years 2014 through 2019, the IRS issued tax assessments denying tax deductions related to
interest expenses arising from an intercompany debt. The total of all assessments amounts to $145.6 million
in taxes plus estimated interest and penalties of $131.7 million. All tax refunds arising from the tax
deductions related to the intercompany debt have been received up to December 2025.
ii)On the same intercompany debt for taxation years 2016 through 2019, the Company has also received
assessments from the IRS seeking additional withholding taxes, including interest and penalties, on interest
payments made. The total of all assessments amounts to $114.2 million in taxes plus estimated interest and
penalties of $142.2 million.
247
LUNDIN MINING CORPORATION
Notes to consolidated financial statements
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Tabular amounts in millions of US dollars, except for shares and per share amounts)
In November 2025, the Company received final rulings from the Second Tax and Customs Court of the
Metropolitan Region of Santiago in respect of the assessments summarized above. The rulings were all in favour
of the Company.  Subsequently, in December 2025, the Chilean IRS filed an appeal. The Company maintains its
position that the assessments are inconsistent with Chilean tax law and, therefore, without merit. The Company
does not expect further assessments to be issued related to this tax matter, as the intercompany loan was
amended in 2020 with an interest rate accepted by the IRS.
e)The Company may be involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including the
actions described below. The potential amount of the liability with respect to such legal proceedings is not
expected to materially affect the Company’s financial position. The Company believes the claims to be without
merit and the loss, if any, cannot be determined at this time for all contingencies. The Company has accordingly
not accrued any amounts related to the litigations below (unless otherwise noted). The Company intends to
vigorously defend these claims.
Two proposed class actions were filed against the Company and certain officers and directors. The first, in the
province of Ontario, on December 7, 2017 (Markowich v. Lundin Mining Corporation et al) and a second
overlapping action in the province of Québec on January 18, 2018 (Prévreau v. Lundin Mining Corporation et al).
Both proposed class actions seek damages of $132.3 million (C$175.0 million) and punitive damages of $7.6
million (C$10.0 million) and assert various statutory and other claims related to, among other things, alleged
misrepresentations and/or failure to make timely disclosure of material information about the Company’s
business and operations and, in particular, the operations of the Candelaria mine and a rock slide at the
Candelaria mine on October 31, 2017. The proposed Ontario class action asserts claims on behalf of a putative
class comprising persons who acquired securities of the Company between October 25, 2017, and November 29,
2017, whereas the proposed Québec class action asserts claims on behalf of only such persons who are resident
or domiciled in Québec.  In June 2018, counsel to the plaintiffs in the Québec action agreed to a stay (i.e.,
indefinite cessation) of that proceeding in light of the Ontario action. On August 30, 2018, the Québec Superior
Court, on consent of the parties, stayed the Québec action indefinitely. On September 2, 2020, the plaintiff in the
Ontario action served motion materials for leave and certification with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. On
January 6, 2022, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice denied the leave application and declined the motion for
certification. On May 24, 2023, the Ontario Court of Appeal granted the plaintiff’s appeal of this decision. In
August 2023, the defendants filed an application for leave to appeal the Ontario Court of Appeal decision to the
Supreme Court of Canada, which leave to appeal was granted on March 25, 2024. On November 28, 2025, the
Supreme Court of Canada upheld the 2023 Ontario Court of Appeal decision allowing the certified class action to
proceed before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. There has been no decision on the merits of the case, and
the Company intends to vigorously defend the action.
f)Pursuant to the Definitive Agreement (Note 3), the Company provides financial assurances for the reclamation
and closure of Eagle mine.
28. SEGMENTED INFORMATION
The Company is engaged in mining, exploration and development of mineral properties at three operating sites
located in Chile and Brazil, and at Vicuña in Argentina and Chile. Operating segments are reported in a manner
consistent with the internal reporting provided to the executive leadership team who act as the operating decision-
makers. The chief operating decision makers consider the business from a site and project-level perspective. Executive
management are responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments. The
Company has identified four reportable segments which include three operating sites, and the Vicuña Project. The
Vicuña segment is an independently managed joint arrangement and includes the legacy Josemaria segment for
periods up until January 15, 2025 and the Company's 50% share of the Josemaria project and Filo del Sol project after
that date (Note 4). Discontinued operations include results from the Eagle, Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan segments
(Note 3).

30.MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISK
The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk, foreign
exchange risk, commodity price risk and interest rate risk.
(a)Credit risk
The exposure to credit risk arises through the failure of a customer or another third party to meet its contractual
obligations to the Company. The Company believes that its maximum exposure to credit risk as at December 31,
2025 is the carrying value of its trade and other receivables.
Concentrate and cathodes produced at the Company’s mines is sold to a number of strategic customers with
whom the Company has established long-term relationships. Limited amounts of concentrate are occasionally
sold to commodity traders, under prevailing market conditions. Payment terms vary and provisional payments
are normally received when concentrate or copper cathodes have been placed on board a vessel for shipment or
delivered to a location specified by the customer, in accordance with industry practice, with final settlement up
to six months following the date of shipment. Sales to commodity traders are made against secure payment
terms such as a letter of credit, pre-payment or payment against shipping documents. Credit worthiness of
customers is reviewed by the Company on an annual basis or more frequently, if warranted, and those not
meeting certain credit criteria may be asked to make 100% provisional payment up-front or provide an
acceptable payment instrument such as a letter of credit. The failure of any of the Company’s strategic customers
could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position. For the year ended December 31, 2025,
the Company has four customers that individually account for 10% or more of the Company’s total sales. The
Company's largest customers represent approximately 16%, 16%, 14%, and 10% of total sales (2024 - four
customers representing 20%, 14%, 13%, and 11% of total sales).
With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Company, which comprise cash and cash
equivalents, restricted funds, marketable securities and equity investments, and foreign currency contracts, the
Company’s exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to
the carrying amount of these instruments. The Company limits material counterparty credit risk on these assets
by dealing with financial institutions with long-term credit ratings with Standard & Poor’s of at least A, or the
equivalent thereof with Moody’s, or those which have been otherwise approved.

(b)Liquidity risk
The Company has in place a planning and forecasting process to help determine the funds required to support
the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis. The Company ensures that there is sufficient
available capital to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from
operations and its holdings of cash and cash equivalents. The Company has a revolving credit facility in place to
assist with meeting its cash flow needs as required (Note 12).
The maturities of the Company’s non-current liabilities are disclosed in Note 12 and Note 27. All current liabilities
are due to be settled within one year.
(c)Foreign exchange risk
The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currencies,
primarily with respect to CLP, BRL, and ARS.
The Company’s risk management strategy is to manage cash flow risk related to foreign denominated cash flows.
The Company is exposed to currency risk related to changes in rates of exchange between foreign denominated
balances and the functional currencies of the Company’s principal operating subsidiaries. The Company’s
revenues are denominated in US dollars, while most of the Company’s operating and capital expenditures are
denominated in the local currencies. The Company may, at its discretion, use forward or derivative contracts to
manage its exposure to foreign currencies, the use of which is subject to appropriate approval procedures. A
significant change in the currency exchange rates between the US dollar and foreign currencies could have a
material effect on the Company’s net earnings and other comprehensive income.
The following table illustrates the estimated impact a 10% US dollar change against the CLP and BRL would have
on pre-tax earnings as a result of translating the Company's foreign denominated financial instruments as at
December 31, 2025 before the impact of derivative contracts:

BRL

(d)Commodity price risk
The Company is subject to price risk associated with fluctuations in the market prices for metals. A significant
change in metal prices could have a material effect on the Company’s revenues.
The Company may, at its discretion, use forward or derivative contracts to manage its exposure to changes in
commodity prices, the use of which is subject to appropriate approval procedures. The Company is also subject to
price risk on the final settlement of its provisionally priced trade receivables.
The following table illustrates the sensitivity of the Company’s risk on final settlement of its provisionally priced
trade receivables:

(e)Interest rate risk
The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk arises from the interest rate impact on its cash and cash
equivalents, restricted funds, and debt facilities. Certain of the Company's debt facilities include a variable rate
component such as references to Term SOFR on the revolving credit facility, as well as applicable credit spreads
depending on the Company's net leverage ratio.
As at December 31, 2025, holding all other variables constant, a 1% change in the interest rate would result in an
approximate $2.4 million change in interest expense on an annualized basis (2024 - $12.5  million).
31.MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL RISK
The Company’s objectives when managing its capital include ensuring a sufficient combination of positive operating
cash flows and debt and equity financing in order to meet its ongoing capital development and exploration programs
in a way that maximizes the shareholder return given the assumed risks of its operations while, at the same time,
safeguarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company considers the following items as
capital: excess cash balances, debt, lease liabilities, and share capital.
Through the ongoing management of its capital, the Company will modify the structure of its capital based on
changing economic conditions in the jurisdictions in which it operates. In doing so, the Company may issue new shares
or debt, buy back issued shares, or pay off any outstanding debt. The Company continuously monitors its capital
structure to determine the appropriateness of paying dividends.
Planning, including life-of-mine plans, annual budgeting and controls over major investment decisions are the primary
tools used to manage the Company’s capital. Updates are made as necessary to both capital expenditure and
operational budgets in order to adapt to changes in risk factors of proposed expenditure programs and market
conditions within the mining industry.
