Lundin Gold Inc. (TSX: LUG) (Nasdaq Stockholm: LUG) (OTCQX: LUGDF) ("Lundin Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to report results for the first quarter of 2024, highlighted by gold production of 111,572 ounces ("oz") and gold sales of 108,916 oz at a cash operating cost¹ of \$735 per oz sold and all-in sustaining cost ("AISC")¹ of \$868 per oz sold from its Fruta del Norte gold mine ("Fruta del Norte" or "FDN") located in southeastern Ecuador. Bolstered by strong operating performance, reduced debt servicing costs and record high gold prices, Fruta del Norte generated in excess of \$100 million cash from operating activities in the first quarter, and free cash flow¹ of \$82.3 million or \$0.35 per share, resulting in a cash balance of \$324 million as at March 31, 2024. All amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.
"I'm pleased to report another great start to the year for Lundin Gold. Operations are running consistently, including cost performance and production which is weighted to the second half of the year. Our Process Plant Expansion Project to deliver increased throughput and recoveries is on track for year-end completion. As a result of our conversion drilling, we announced the replacement of our Mineral Reserves and continue to focus on organic growth opportunities." Ron Hochstein, President and CEO commented, "With the buy out of the stream credit facility and offtake agreement, we are poised to repay the final piece of the Fruta del Norte project finance debt by the end of the second quarter, and are looking forward to further margin expansion in addition to unencumbered exposure to rising gold prices. 2024 is shaping up to be a great year with our continued focus on operational excellence, near-term production growth and very exciting exploration throughout the Fruta del Norte district."

The change in cash during the first quarter was primarily due to cash generated from operating activities of \$108 million and proceeds from the exercise of stock options totalling \$4.3 million. This is offset by principal repayments, interest and finance charges, including associated taxes, under the stream credit facility ("Stream Facility") totalling \$15.1 million; dividends of \$23.9 million; cash outflows of \$13.6 million relating to sustaining and plant expansion capital spending; and settlement of vested share units with cash of \$3.6 million.
The Stream Facility was the last remaining debt on the Company's balance sheet following the full repayment of both the gold prepay credit facility and senior debt facility during 2023. On April 25, 2024, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement with Newmont to buy out 100% of the balance of the Stream Facility and offtake agreement for total consideration of \$330 million (the "Transaction")1 .
During the first quarter there were two Lost Time Incidents and three Medical Aid Incidents. The Total Recordable Incident Rate across exploration and operations was 0.63 per 200,000 hours worked for the quarter.
Lundin Gold continued to support several community projects in the first quarter of 2024, including initiatives focused on community health and education. The mental health and well-being program run by Educación para Compartir, an international non-profit organization, continued with increased participation by local community members. The program has expanded to incorporate extra-curricular activities for young people and extended to rural communities close to Fruta del Norte. Company sponsored education programs, which aim to improve local student access to higher education, continued to show success. At quarter end, there were more than 200 students from the nearby town of Los Encuentros enrolled at public and private universities.
1 The Transaction constitutes a "related party transaction", as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). The Transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as the consideration paid pursuant to the Transaction does not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
Infrastructure investment continued to be a priority for Lundin Gold in the quarter. In line with the Company's long-standing commitment to support road maintenance, Lundin Gold reached an agreement with local authorities to participate in a road paving initiative, which when completed will benefit more than 200 residents.
During the first quarter of 2024, two series of dialogue round tables occurred, with high participation rates by local community members.
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company completed a total of 12,331 metres across 26 holes from surface and underground. Drilling from underground explored mainly the FDN deposit at depth while drilling from surface continued to test sectors located along the extensions of the controlling structures of the FDN deposit, such as Bonza Sur and FDN East.
The 2024 regional program continues to advance the identification of important indicators that point toward the presence of buried epithermal deposits in the southern basin. New sectors have been identified along the south border of the Suarez basin. A total of 10,000 metres of drilling is planned to be completed in 2024.
During the quarter, exploration fieldwork activities were completed on the Robles and Lupita targets, located to the south of the Suarez Basin. Detailed geological interpretation of exploration data and additional fieldwork were completed and aimed at identifying major structures and zones of hydrothermal alteration. The regional drilling program commenced at the Robles target in April.
The Company paid its quarterly dividend of \$0.10 per share on March 25, 2024 (March 28 for shares trading on Nasdaq Stockholm) based on a record date of March 8, 2024, for a total of \$23.9 million. With the release of its first quarter 2024 results, the Company has declared a cash dividend of \$0.10 per share, which is payable on June 25, 2024 (June 28 for shares trading on Nasdaq Stockholm) to shareholders of record on June 10, 2024.

Lundin Gold, headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, is committed to positive and long-lasting impact on our host communities, while delivering significant value to stakeholders through operational excellence, cash flow generation and focused growth. Lundin Gold currently operates its 100% owned Fruta del Norte ("Fruta del Norte" or "FDN") gold mine in southeast Ecuador, which is one of the highest-grade gold mines in production in the world today. The Company also owns a portfolio of prospective exploration properties close to FDN.
Bolstered by strong operating performance, reduced debt servicing costs and record high gold prices, Fruta del Norte generated in excess of \$100 million cash from operating activities, and free cash flow1 of \$82.3 million or \$0.35 per share, during the first guarter of 2024. This resulted in a cash balance of \$324 million as at March 31, 2024.
Operating performance remains consistent with recent quarters, with first quarter gold production of 111,572 ounces ("oz") at mill throughput of 4,545 tonnes per day ("tpd") and average mill head grade of 9.5 g/t. From this, gold sales of 108,916 oz resulted in gross revenues of \$233 million at an average realized gold price1 of \$2,141 per oz. Cash operating costs1 were \$735 per oz sold and all-in sustaining costs ("AISC")1 were \$868 per oz sold for the quarter. With these results, the Company is on track to meet its 2024 guidance of production ranging between 450,000 to 500,000 oz and AISC1 ranging between \$820 to \$890 per oz. sold.
Exploration activities at the near-mine program continue to yield positive results. After the end of the first quarter, the Company announced the discovery of a new high-grade zone, FDN East, as well as positive drilling intercepts achieved at Bonza Sur and FDN at depth following 12,331 metres of drilling across 26 holes. In addition, the Company increased its estimates of Mineral Reserves at FDN to 5.5 million oz through the results from the 2023 conversion drilling program, while also maintaining its estimates of total Mineral Resources year over year with successful exploration.
After the end of the first quarter, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement with Newmont Corporation ("Newmont") to buy out 100% of the balance of the stream credit facility (the "Stream Facility") and offtake agreement (the "Offtake") for total consideration of \$330 million (the "Transaction")2. The negotiated purchase price for the Stream Facility and the Offtake of \$330 million is payable in cash, with the first tranche of \$180 million due on closing of the transaction which is targeted on June 28, 2024 (the "Effective Date"). Payments and deliveries will continue in accordance with the terms of the Stream Facility and Offtake until the Effective Date. The final tranche of the purchase price of \$150 million is due on or before the end of the third quarter of 2024.
<sup>2 The Transaction constitutes a "related party transaction", as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). The Transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as the consideration paid pursuant to the Transaction does not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

(All dollar amounts are stated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. Tables are expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share amounts)
The difference between net income and adjusted earnings¹ during the first quarter of 2024 is due to a special one-time levy of \$1.9 million, payable in two installments in 2024 and 2025, which was mandated by the Government of Ecuador to strengthen the country's security amid rising violence, and non-cash derivative losses of \$17.9 million (three months ended March 31, 2023: derivative loss of \$15.4 million) associated with fair value accounting of the Stream Facility. This non-cash item is driven by numerous factors including expected production profile, anticipated forward gold and silver prices, and yields. Non-cash derivative gains (or losses) associated with decreased (or increased) short-term production and anticipated decreasing (or increasing) forward gold and silver prices are recorded in the statement of operations, while non-cash derivative gains (or losses) associated with increasing (or decreasing) yields are recorded in the statement of other comprehensive income.
These non-cash gains or losses are derived from complex valuation modelling and accounting treatment which are explained in more detail later in this MD&A. Revaluation of these obligations has and will continue to result in considerable period-to-period volatility in the Company's net income, comprehensive income, current and long-term liabilities until the buy out of the Stream Facility and Offtake on the Effective Date.
On March 27, 2024, the Company updated its estimates of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources as at December 31, 2023 for the Fruta del Norte mine. Since operations began in 2019, FDN has added Mineral Reserves of 2.6 million oz. before mining depletion. The tables of the updated estimates of Mineral Reserves and Resources can be found below.

Company sponsored education programs, which aim to improve local student access to higher education, continued to show success. At quarter end, there were more than 200 students from the nearby town of Los Encuentros enrolled at public and private universities. A complementary program designed to improve the quality of local education, sponsored by Lundin Gold, is currently benefiting approximately 1,000 students between the ages of 3 and 18 years.
Infrastructure investment continued to be a priority for Lundin Gold in the quarter. In line with the Company's longstanding commitment to support road maintenance, Lundin Gold reached an agreement with local authorities to participate in a road paving initiative, which when completed will benefit more than 200 residents.
The Company continued to support local businesses in conjunction with the Lundin Foundation, including women-led businesses through the third edition of the "Soy Emprendadora" program. Among the supported local businesses, a textile manufacturer, fire extinguisher maintenance provider and pest control and fumigation service company all expanded their sales in the quarter with Lundin Gold as an anchor client. The Company and Lundin Foundation continued to jointly support the development of local suppliers through the Nexo III program. An area of focus has been ensuring that local farmers obtain and retain access to local, national, and international markets. The Company also continued to engage with local indigenous people, especially the Shuar Federation of Zamora Chinchipe, to jointly implement projects that promote economic opportunities and the Shuar culture.

New sectors have been identified along the south border of the Suarez basin. A total of 10,000 metres of drilling is planned to be completed in 2024.
During the quarter, exploration fieldwork activities were completed on the Robles and Lupita targets, located to the south of the Suarez Basin. Detailed geological interpretation of exploration data and additional fieldwork were completed and aimed at identifying major structures and zones of hydrothermal alteration. The regional drilling program commenced at the Robles target in April.

Management's Discussion and Analysis Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
(All dollar amounts are stated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. Tables are expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share amounts)
The Company generated net income of \$41.9 million during the first quarter of 2024 compared to \$51.5 million during the first quarter of 2023. Net income was generated from the recognition of revenues of \$227 million and income from mining operations of \$113 million as well as finance income of \$4.5 million and other income of \$1.2 million. This is offset by a derivative loss of \$17.9 million, finance expense of \$12.1 million, income tax expense of \$28.6 million, and other expenses totalling \$18.3 million. During the first quarter of 2023, net income was generated from the recognition of revenues of \$257 million and income from mining operations of \$133 million as well as other income of \$0.5 million, offset by a derivative loss of \$15.4 million, finance expense of \$21.1 million, income tax expense of \$33.8 million, and other expenses totalling \$11.4 million.
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company generated revenues of \$227 million from the sale of 108,916 oz of gold and income from mining operations of \$113 million compared to revenues of \$257 million from the sale of 134,691 oz of gold and income from mining operations of \$144 million during the first quarter of 2023. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in oz produced and sold as the increase in mill throughput was offset by a decrease in grade and recoveries.
Exploration costs were \$7.9 million in the quarter compared to \$3.8 million during the same period in 2023. The increase is attributable to the continued expansion of the near-mine exploration program following positive results to date.
Corporate administration costs increased from \$7.6 million during the first quarter of 2023 to \$10.4 million during the first quarter of 2024. This difference is mainly attributable to costs associated with the move of the Vancouver office along with the other Lundin Group companies, a one-time special levy of \$1.9 million by the Government of Ecuador, payable in two equal installments, to strengthen security amid rising violence in the country, as well as an increase in stock-based compensation due to the cash settlement of vested share units as determined by the Company's board of directors.
Finance expense decreased to \$12.1 million during the quarter compared to \$21.1 million during the same period in 2023. The decrease is due to the full repayment of the senior debt facility during the fourth quarter of 2023 as well as reduced repayments under the Stream Facility due to a reduction in oz. sold as noted above.
Finance income increased from \$1.8 million during the first quarter of 2023 to \$4.5 million during the first quarter of 2024 which is driven by a higher cash balance and increased yield on short-term investments.
Other income of \$1.2 million was recognized during the quarter compared to \$0.5 million in the first quarter of 2023. This is mainly driven by foreign exchange gains which are derived from the quantum of U.S. dollar cash held by Canadian group entities and movements in the foreign exchange rate. As the functional currency of the Canadian entities is the Canadian dollar, a strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar during the period generates an unrealized gain in terms of Canadian dollars.

(All dollar amounts are stated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. Tables are expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share amounts)
Derivative gains and losses in the statement of operations and other comprehensive income are driven by the Company's debt obligations under the Stream Facility which are classified as financial liabilities at fair value. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company made scheduled principal, interest, and finance charge repayments totaling \$15.1 million (three months ended March 31, 2023: \$21.0 million) under the Stream Facility, based on gold and silver prices at the time of repayment. This was offset by a non-cash increase of this debt obligation of \$24.8 million due to a change in its estimated fair value between December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024 (2023: an increase of \$14.6 million between December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023). This variation is recorded as derivative gains or losses, in the statement of operations and other comprehensive income in the applicable period. The fair value calculated under the Company's accounting policies is based on numerous estimates noted below as of the balance sheet date and are, therefore, subject to further future variations until the debt obligation is repaid by the Company.
Fair value is determined using Monte Carlo simulation models. The key inputs used by the Monte Carlo simulation include gold and silver forward prices, the Company's expectation about the gold and silver forward curves, gold and silver volatility, risk-free rate of return, risk-adjusted discount rate, and production expectations. Relatively small variations in some of these inputs can give rise to significant variations in the fair value of financial liabilities; hence, the large derivative gains and losses recorded to date.
Key drivers of current fair value are forward gold and silver prices and the Company's risk adjusted discount rate. The combined net impact of these factors is a net increase in the fair value of the Stream Facility as described more fully below, offset by the decrease from scheduled repayments during the period:
Income taxes of \$28.6 million were accrued during the first quarter of 2024 (three months ended March 31, 2023: \$33.8 million) which is comprised of current and deferred income tax expenses of \$23.5 million and \$5.1 million, respectively. In addition to corporate income taxes in Ecuador which are levied at a rate of 22%, income tax expense includes a 5% Ecuadorean withholding tax on the anticipated portion of net income generated from FDN to be paid in the form of dividends, and an accrual for the portion of profit sharing payable to the Government of Ecuador which is calculated at the rate of 12% of the estimated net income for tax purposes for the quarter. The employee portion of profit sharing payable, calculated at the rate of 3% of net income for tax purposes is considered an employee benefit and is included in operating expenses.
Corporate income taxes in Ecuador are due in April of each year. Effective January 1, 2024, the Government of Ecuador introduced monthly corporate income tax instalment payments which is based on a percentage of monthly revenues. Instalment amounts paid during the year ended December 31, 2024 will offset corporate income taxes due in April 2025.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
(All dollar amounts are stated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. Tables are expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share amounts)
As at March 31, 2024, the Company had cash of \$324 million and a working capital balance of \$414 million compared to cash of \$268 million and a working capital balance of \$347 million at December 31, 2023.
The change in cash during the first quarter was primarily due to cash generated from operating activities of \$108 million and proceeds from the exercise of stock options totalling \$4.3 million. This is offset by principal repayments, interest and finance charges, including associated taxes, under the Stream Facility totalling \$15.1 million; dividends of \$23.9 million; cash outflows of \$13.6 million relating to investing activities; and settlement of vested share units with cash of \$3.6 million.
The Stream Facility was the last remaining debt on the Company's balance sheet following the full repayment of both the gold prepay credit facility and senior debt facility during 2023. On April 25, 2024, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement with Newmont to buy 100% of the balance of the Stream Facility and Offtake for total consideration of \$330 million.
The majority of trade receivables represent the value of concentrate and doré sold as at period end for which the funds are not yet received. Revenues and related trade receivables for concentrate sales are initially recorded at provisional gold prices. Subsequent determination of final gold prices can range from one to four months after shipment depending on the customer. For sales that are provisionally priced at period end, an estimate of the adjustment to the trade receivable is calculated based on the expected month when the final gold price is forecast to be determined and the related forward price of gold at the end of the reporting period. At March 31, 2024, this resulted in an estimated increase of \$13.4 million (\$7.8 million at December 31, 2023) to trade receivables reflecting rising gold prices during the period.
Consistent with industry standards, concentrate sales have relatively long payment terms and are not fully settled until concentrate is received by the customer and related final assays confirmed, generally two to five months after the export sale occurs.
Subject to the submission of monthly claims and their acceptance by the applicable authorities, VAT paid in Ecuador by the Company after January 1, 2018 are being refunded or applied, based on the level of export sales in any given month, as a credit against other taxes payable. A portion of the VAT recoverable has been reclassified as current assets based on the Company's assessment of the estimated time for processing VAT claims during the next twelve months.
Advance royalties are deductible against future royalties on sales payable to the Government of Ecuador at a rate equal to the lesser of 50% of the actual future royalties payable in a six-month period or 10% of the total advance royalty payment. A portion of the advance royalty payment is classified as current assets based on expected utilization over the next twelve months.
Gold inventory is recognized in the ore stockpiles and in production inventory, comprised principally of concentrate and doré at site or in transit to port or to the refinery, with a component of gold-in-circuit. Ore stockpile inventory has increased primarily due to higher grade stockpiled compared to December 31, 2023. The variations in doré and concentrate are mainly the result of timing of shipments around period end. The high value of material and supplies, comprised of consumables and spare parts, reflects the Company's assessment of the procurement cycles due to the remoteness of FDN and higher costs of materials and supplies on hand.

Investment activities during the first quarter of 2024 are comprised principally of sustaining capital expenditures for the mine dispatch system and other capital projects. In addition, costs were incurred relating to the plant upgrade project.
The Company generated strong operating cash flow during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and expects to continue to do so for the remainder of the year based on its production and AISC guidance. At current gold prices, this strong operating cash flow will continue to support the exploration programs, planned capital expenditures, further plant expansion, growth initiatives and regular dividend payments under the approved dividend policy.
Monthly payments under the Stream Facility are based on 7.75% and 100% of gold and silver oz sold, respectively, calculated at the current gold and silver prices at the end of each month, less \$408 and \$4.08 per oz (the "Base Prices"), respectively. The Base Prices increase by 1% annually in February of each year. The decrease in repayments under the Stream Facility during the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 is driven by the decrease in oz. sold partially offset by higher spot prices of gold at time of repayment.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred \$0.8 million (March 31, 2023 – \$0.2 million), primarily relating to office rental, renovation costs, and related services provided by Namdo Management Services Ltd. ("Namdo"), a company associated with a director of the Company.
The Company's financial instruments include cash, cash equivalents and certain receivables, which are categorized as financial assets at amortized cost, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which are categorized as financial liabilities at amortized cost. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. In addition, the Stream Facility and Offtake have been classified as financial liabilities at fair value and the Senior Facility as a financial liability at amortized cost. Further, provisionally priced trade receivables of \$122.4 million (December 31, 2023 - \$93.0 million) are measured at fair value using quoted forward market prices.
The Company's financial instruments are exposed to a variety of financial risks by virtue of its activities.
Lundin Gold is a Canadian company, with foreign operations in Ecuador. Revenues generated and expenditures incurred in Ecuador are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars, as are its loan facilities. However, equity capital, if needed, is typically raised in Canadian dollars. As such, the Company is subject to risk due to fluctuations in the exchange rates of foreign currencies. Although the Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure, the Company tries to manage this risk by maintaining most of its cash in U.S. dollars.
Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The majority of the Company's cash is held in large financial institutions with a high investment grade rating. The Company is also subject to credit risk associated with its trade receivables. The Company manages this risk by only selling to a small group of reputable customers with strong financial statements.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
(All dollar amounts are stated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. Tables are expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share amounts)
Cash and cash equivalents are held with high quality financial institutions. Substantially all of the Company's cash and cash equivalents held with financial institutions exceed government-insured limits. The Company has established a treasury policy that seeks to minimize its credit risk by entering into transactions with investment grade creditworthy and reputable financial institutions and by monitoring the credit standing of those financial institutions. The Company seeks to limit the amount of exposure with any one counterparty in accordance with its established treasury policy.
The Company is subject to interest rate risk with respect to the fair value of long-term debt which are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they become due. Cash flow forecasting is performed regularly to monitor the Company's liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to always meet its operational needs. In addition, management is actively involved in the review, planning and approval of significant expenditures and commitments.
The Company is subject to commodity price risk from fluctuations in the market prices of gold and silver. Commodity price risks are affected by many factors that are outside the Company's control including global or regional consumption patterns, the supply of and demand for metals, speculative activities, the availability and costs of substitutes, inflation, and political and economic conditions. The Company has not hedged the price of any commodity at this time.
The fair value of a portion of the Company's trade receivables as well as the Stream Facility are impacted by fluctuations of commodity prices.
Significant capital expenditures contracted as at March 31, 2024 but not recognized as liabilities are as follows:
| Capital expenditures |
|
|---|---|
| 12 months ending March 31, 2025 April 1, 2025 onward |
\$ 22,399 - |
| Total | \$ 22,399 |
On January 1, 2024, the Company entered into a long-term rental agreement with Namdo which expires on February 28, 2039, and provides a guarantee of rental fees totaling \$6.5 million for the duration of the contract.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, there were no off-balance sheet transactions. The Company has not entered into any specialized financial arrangements to minimize its currency risk.

As at the date of this MD&A, there were 238,896,751 common shares issued and outstanding. There were also stock options outstanding to purchase a total of 2,962,471 common shares, 539,080 restricted share units with a performance criteria, 204,379 restricted share units, and 14,185 deferred share units.
Lundin Gold's performance in the first quarter of 2024 provides a strong foundation for the rest of the year, and the Company's production guidance of 450,000 to 500,000 oz and AISC1 guidance of \$820 to \$890 oz. sold remain unchanged. Production is expected to be higher during the second half of the year driven by planned increase in grades and recoveries. In addition, the level of sustaining capital activities is expected to increase in subsequent quarters with guidance for the year remaining between \$35 to \$45 million. The \$36 million Process Plant Expansion Project to increase plant throughput to 5,000 tpd and improve metallurgical recoveries, with the addition of three Jameson cells, remains on track for completion by the end of 2024.
The near-mine drilling program will continue to explore Bonza Sur where the primary focus is to better understand the target's mineralized zones as well as expanding the system to the north and at depth. Three rigs are currently turning at Bonza Sur. At the new FDN East discovery, two rigs will focus on expanding the initial positive results achieved to gain a better understanding of the mineralized zones and the main geological controls. One underground rig is expected to continue to test the extension of the FDN mineral envelope at depth. The regional drilling program is planned to start during the second quarter with one surface rig testing the Robles and Lupita targets in the Southern Basin.
Ten rigs are currently turning across the conversion, near-mine and regional programs and a minimum of 65,000 metres of drilling continues to be planned in 2024. This represents the largest drill program ever completed at the land package that hosts the FDN deposit. The estimated exploration budget for 2024 remains \$42 million.
The Company anticipates continuing to declare quarterly dividends of at least \$0.10 per share, which is equivalent to approximately \$100 million annually, based on currently issued and outstanding shares. With the Company becoming debt free combined with rising gold prices, the Company expects to review its dividend policy in the latter half of 2024.
This MD&A refers to certain financial measures, such as average realized gold price per oz sold, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, cash operating cost per oz sold, all-in sustaining cost, free cash flow, free cash flow per share, and adjusted earnings, which are not recognized under IFRS Accounting Standards and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards. These measures may differ from those made by other companies and accordingly may not be comparable to such measures as reported by other companies. These measures have been derived from the Company's financial statements because the Company believes that they are of assistance in the understanding of the results of operations and its financial position.

Adjusted earnings and adjusted basic earnings per share can be used to measure and may assist in evaluating operating earning trends in comparison with results from prior periods by excluding specific items that are significant, but not reflective of the underlying operating activities of the Company. Presently, these include a special one-time government levy, derivative gains or losses, and related income tax effects, from accounting for the Stream Facility at fair value. Adjusted basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding under the basic method of earnings per share as determined under IFRS Accounting Standards.

AISC provides information on the total cost associated with producing gold and has been calculated on a basis consistent with historic news releases by the Company.
The Company calculates AISC as the sum of total cash operating costs (as described above), corporate social responsibility costs, treatment and refining charges, accretion of restoration provision, and sustaining capital, less silver revenue, all divided by the gold oz sold to arrive at a per oz amount.
Other companies may calculate this measure differently as a result of differences in underlying principles and policies applied.

The adoption of certain accounting policies requires the Company to make estimates that affect both the amount and timing of the recording of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Some of these estimates require judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. For a complete discussion of accounting estimates deemed most crucial by the Company, refer to the Company's annual 2023 Management's Discussion and Analysis.
Natural resources exploration, development and operation involves a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company's control. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, the risks discussed elsewhere in this MD&A and those set out in the Company's AIF, which is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
(All dollar amounts are stated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. Tables are expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share amounts)
The technical information relating to Fruta del Norte contained in this MD&A has been reviewed and approved by Terry Smith P. Eng, Lundin Gold's COO who is a Qualified Person under NI 43-101. The disclosure of exploration information contained in this MD&A was prepared by Andre Oliveira P.Geo, Vice President, Exploration of the Company, who is a Qualified Person in accordance with the requirements of NI 43-101.
The report for the six months ended June 30, 2024 is expected to be published on or about August 8, 2024.
Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, are responsible for the design of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures in order to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted by it under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the securities legislation.
Management is also responsible for the design of the Company's internal control over financial reporting in order to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.
Because of their inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Furthermore, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
As required under Multilateral Instrument 52-109, management advises that there have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent interim period, beginning January 1, 2024 and ending March 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Certain of the information and statements in this MD&A are considered "forward-looking information" or "forward-looking statements" as those terms are defined under Canadian securities laws (collectively referred to as "forward-looking statements"). Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, identified by words or phrases such as "believes", "anticipates", "expects", "is expected", "scheduled", "estimates", "pending", "intends", "plans", "forecasts", "targets", or "hopes", or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "will", "should" "might", "will be taken", or "occur" and similar expressions) are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements.
By their nature, forward-looking statements and information involve assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict, and are usually beyond the control of management, that could cause actual results to be materially different from those expressed by these forward-looking statements and information. Lundin Gold believes that the expectations reflected in this forward-looking information are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct. Forward-looking information should not be unduly relied upon.

Management's Discussion and Analysis Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
(All dollar amounts are stated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. Tables are expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share amounts)
This information speaks only as of the date of this MD&A, and the Company will not necessarily update this information, unless required to do so by securities laws.
This MD&A contains forward-looking information in a number of places, such as in statements pertaining to the Company's 2024 production outlook, including estimates of gold production, grades recoveries and AISC; operating plans; expected sales receipts, completion of the buy back of the Stream Facility and the Offtake; its estimated capital costs; the recovery of VAT; timing of completion of the Process Plant Expansion Project and the anticipated benefits; benefits of the Company's community programs; the Company's declaration and payment of dividends pursuant to its dividend policy; the timing and the success of its drill program at Fruta del Norte and its other exploration activities; and estimates of Mineral Resources and Reserves at Fruta del Norte.
Lundin Gold's actual results could differ materially from those anticipated. Management has identified the following risk factors which could have a material impact on the Company or the trading price of its shares: instability in Ecuador; community relations; forecasts relating to production and costs; mining operations; security; non-compliance with laws and regulations and compliance costs; tax changes in Ecuador; waste disposal and tailings; government or regulatory approvals; environmental compliance; gold price; infrastructure; dependence on a single mine; exploration and development; control of Lundin Gold; availability of workforce and labour relations; dividends; information systems and cyber security; Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates; title matters and surface rights and access; health and safety; human rights; employee misconduct; measures to protect biodiversity; endangered species and critical habitats; global economic conditions; shortages of critical resources; competition for new projects; key talent recruitment and retention; market price of the Company's shares; social media and reputation; insurance and uninsured risks; pandemics, epidemics or infectious disease outbreak; climate change; illegal mining; conflicts of interest; ability to maintain obligations or comply with debt; violation of anti-bribery and corruption laws; internal controls; claims and legal proceedings; and reclamation obligations.
There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as Lundin Gold's actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in this forward-looking information as a result of the factors discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" in the AIF available at www.sedarplus.ca.

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise noted. Tables are expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share amounts)
Lundin Gold Inc. together with its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "Lundin Gold" or the "Company") is focused on its Fruta del Norte gold operation and developing its portfolio of mineral concessions in Ecuador.
The common shares of the Company are listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") and Nasdaq Stockholm under the symbol "LUG" and the OTCQX Best Market under the symbol "LUGDF". The Company was originally incorporated in British Columbia and continued under the Canada Business Corporations Act in 2002.
The Company's head office is located at Suite 2800, 1055 Dunsmuir Street, Vancouver, BC, and it has a corporate office in Quito, Ecuador.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board ("IFRS Accounting Standards"), applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting. As a result, they do not conform in all respects with the disclosure requirements for annual financial statements under IFRS and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars.
In preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the Company applied the same accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty as those that were applied to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
These financial statements were approved for issue by the Board of Directors on May 8, 2024.

(a) Trade receivables mainly represent the value of concentrate sold as at period end for which the funds are not yet received. Consistent with industry standards, these sales generally have relatively long payment terms and are not settled until two to five months after export.
Concentrate sales are first recorded based on provisional prices. For sales that are provisionally priced as at March 31, 2024, an adjustment is estimated and recorded using the forward gold price at quarter end for the future month when the final gold price for each individual sale is expected to be determined. This adjustment resulted in an increase of \$13.4 million in trade receivables as of March 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - \$7.8 million increase) reflecting rising gold prices during the period.

The Stream Facility is a secured loan facility with a stated interest rate of 7.5% per annum with interest accruing based upon the outstanding balance.
The Stream Facility is repayable in variable monthly instalments equivalent to the value of 7.75% of gold production less \$408 per oz. (the "Gold Base Price") and 100% of the silver production less \$4.08 per oz. (the "Silver Base Price") up to a maximum of 350,000 oz of gold and six million oz of silver. The Gold Base Price and Silver Base Price will increase by 1% in February of each year. The excess of the monthly repayments over the principal due monthly and the balance of interest accrued to that date, if any, is a variable additional charge (the "Finance Charge").
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company made payments under the Stream Facility totaling \$15.1 million (three months ended March 31, 2023 – \$21.0 million) of which \$3.1 million (three months ended March 31, 2023 – \$4.8 million) was paid on account of principal; \$1.9 million (three months ended March 31, 2023 – \$2.2 million) for accrued interest; and \$10.1 million (three months ended March 31, 2023 – \$14.0 million) for the Finance Charge (see Note 19). As at March 31, 2024, based on the projected life of mine production and other significant assumptions (see Note 19), the estimated fair value equivalent to 228,630 oz of gold and 4,418,081 oz of silver remains outstanding under the Stream Facility.
The Company has the option to repay (i) 50% of the remaining Stream Facility on June 30, 2024 for \$150 million ("First Reduction Option") and / or (ii) the other 50% of the remaining Stream Facility on June 30, 2026 for \$225 million.
The lender of the Stream Facility has been granted the right to purchase 50% of Fruta del Norte gold production, up to a maximum of 2.5 million oz, at a price determined based on monthly delivery dates and a defined quotational period. This obligation is satisfied first through the sale of doré and then, if required, financial settlement.
The Company has determined that the Offtake represents a derivative financial liability. Accordingly, the Offtake, which is primarily a function of the gold price option feature, is measured at fair value at each statement of financial position date, with changes in the derivative fair value being recorded in profit or loss. As at March 31, 2024, based on the projected life of mine production and other significant assumptions (see Note 19), the estimated fair value equivalent to 1,684,974 oz of gold remains outstanding under the Offtake.
Under the long-term debt, the Company, together with its subsidiaries related to Fruta del Norte (collectively, the "FDN Subsidiaries"), remain subject to a number of covenants. In addition, the long-term debt is secured by a charge over the FDN Subsidiaries' assets, pledges of the shares of the FDN Subsidiaries and guarantees of the Company and the FDN Subsidiaries. On April 25, 2024, the Company announced the buy out of the Stream Facility and Offtake, and these covenants will no longer apply after the target effective date of June 28, 2024 (Note 21).
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, certain restrictions resulted in a deferral of issuance of common shares to Newmont Corporation pursuant to its anti-dilution rights.

Restricted share units with performance criteria ("PSUs")
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company granted 162,900 PSUs that are settled in shares. In addition, in connection with dividends paid during the three months ended March 31, 2024, 4,006 PSUs were granted as Dividend Equivalents. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company granted 167,300 PSUs as well as 18,300 PSUs as Dividend Equivalents.
All PSUs that are settled in cash or common shares, at the unitholder's option, were settled through a combination of payment of cash or issuance of shares during the year ended December 31, 2023. PSUs that are settled in shares that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2024 were settled in cash as determined by the Company's board of directors resulting in additional stock-based compensation of \$1.7 million.
PSUs are granted to eligible employees and vest three years from date of grant subject to continued employment and certain performance conditions being met. The number of PSUs that vest will be adjusted using a multiplier that is based on total shareholder return by the Company's shares over the three-year period relative to a peer group as defined by the Company's board of directors. Each vested PSU entitles the recipient to a payment of one common share.
Using Monte Carlo simulation, the fair value of PSUs was measured on the date of grant with the following weighted-average assumptions:
| March 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Risk-free interest rate Average expected volatility of the Company |
4.20% | 4.22% |
| and its peer group | 42.77% | 45.64% |
| Expected life | 3 years | 3 years |
| Expected dividends (CAD) | \$0.54 | \$0.26 |
| Weighted-average fair value per unit (CAD) | \$15.14 | \$12.38 |
The fair value of PSUs measured at grant date are being amortized over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the PSUs. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of \$0.4 million (three months ended March 31, 2023 – \$0.3 million) relating to Share PSUs.
Restricted share units without performance criteria ("RSUs")

In addition, in connection with dividends paid during the three months ended March 31, 2024, 1,505 RSUs were granted as Dividend Equivalents. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company granted 134,884 RSUs as well as 5,744 RSUs as Dividend Equivalents.
All RSUs that are settled in cash were settled during the year ended December 31, 2023. RSUs that are settled in shares that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2024 were settled through a combination of payment of cash or issuance of shares as determined by the Company's board of directors. This resulted in additional stock-based compensation of \$0.1 million.

| Expected dividends (CAD) | \$0.54 | \$0.26 |
| Weighted-average fair value per unit (CAD) | \$15.45 | \$17.33 |
The fair value of RSUs measured at grant date are being amortized over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the RSUs. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of \$0.2 million (three months ended March 31, 2023 – \$0.1 million) relating to RSUs.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and year ended December 31, 2023, the Company granted 618 DSUs and 9,007 DSUs, respectively, to non-employee directors. In addition, in connection with dividends paid by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and year ended December 31 2023, 100 DSUs and 607 DSUs, respectively, were granted as Dividend Equivalents. The DSUs do not vest until the end of service as a director of the Company. Each vested DSU entitles the recipient to a payment in shares.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of \$9 thousand (three months ended March 31, 2023 – \$0.1 million) relating to DSUs.

Current income tax expense is generated from net income for tax purposes in Ecuador relating to operations at Fruta del Norte. In addition to corporate income taxes in Ecuador which are levied at a rate of 22% and dividend withholding taxes levied at a rate of 5% related to the anticipated portion of net income distributed from Ecuador, included in current income tax expense is the portion of profit sharing payable to the Government of Ecuador which is calculated at the rate of 12% of net income for tax purposes. The employee portion of profit sharing, calculated at the rate of 3% of net income for tax purposes, is considered an employment benefit and included in operating costs.
Corporate income taxes in Ecuador are due in April of each year. Effective January 1, 2024, the Government of Ecuador introduced monthly corporate income tax instalment payments which is based on a percentage of monthly revenues. Instalment amounts paid during the year ended December 31, 2024 will offset corporate income taxes due in April 2025.

Operating segments are components of an entity that engage in business activities from which they incur expenses and whose operating results are regularly reviewed by a chief operating decision maker to make resource allocation decisions and to assess performance. The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for allocating resources and reviewing operating results of each operating segment on a periodic basis.
The Company's primary business activity is the Fruta del Norte operating mine in Ecuador. Materially all of the Company's non-current assets and non-current liabilities relate to Fruta del Norte. In addition, the Company conducts exploration activities and maintains a number of concessions in Ecuador outside of Fruta del Norte.

The Company's financial instruments include cash, cash equivalents and certain receivables, which are categorized as financial assets at amortized cost, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which are categorized as financial liabilities at amortized cost. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. In addition, the Stream Facility and Offtake have been classified as financial liabilities measured at fair value. Further, provisionally priced trade receivables of \$122.4 million (December 31, 2023 - \$93.0 million) are measured at fair value using quoted forward market prices (level 2).
IFRS establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lower priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

The financial liabilities above were valued using Monte Carlo simulation valuation models. The significant assumptions used in the Monte Carlo valuation models include: the gold and silver forward prices, gold and silver price volatility, the risk-free rate of return, risk-adjusted discount rates, and the projected life of mine production schedule.
As the gold price and silver price volatilities and risk-adjusted discount rates are unobservable inputs, the financial liabilities above are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The following table summarizes the quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurements.
