Lundin Mining Declares a Three-For-One Stock Split

Lundin Mining Corporation announced that its Board of Directors has declared a three-for-one split of its common shares.

The stock split was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the special meeting of shareholders held on October 19, 2006 and by the Company’s board of directors on December 14, 2006. Management believes there has been limited liquidity in the common shares of the Company and that the subdivision will create a larger public float and hence greater liquidity.

The three-for-one stock split is payable on February 8, 2007 to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 5, 2007, granting all shareholders two additional common shares for every common share of the Company held. On or about February 8, 2007, Lundin Mining’s transfer agent and registrar will mail share certificates corresponding to the new common shares. Previously issued share certificates should be retained by shareholders and not returned to the Company or the transfer agent and registrar. The Company has approximately 95 million shares outstanding. Upon completion of the split, the Company will have approximately 285 million shares outstanding.

Subject to final regulatory approval, the common shares will start trading on a subdivided basis on the Toronto Stock Exchange as of market open on February 1, 2007 and on the American Stock Exchange as of market open on February 9, 2007. Shareholders of record who wish to sell shares on the American Stock Exchange prior to the ex – distribution date of February 9, 2007, and still wish to be entitled to receive the additional shares may do so through the ex – distribution market on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol LMC.WD.

Subject to final regulatory approval, the Swedish depository receipts will start trading on a subdivided basis on the Stockholm Stock Exchange as of market open on February 1, 2007. From January 22, 2007 to February 5, 2007, holders will not be permitted to convert common shares into Swedish depository receipts or Swedish depository receipts into common shares.
