NEWS RELEASE
Lundin Mining First Quarter 2025 Results
Vancouver, May 7, 2025 (TSX: LUN; Nasdaq Stockholm: LUMI) Lundin Mining Corporation ("Lundin Mining" or the "Company") today reported its first quarter 2025 financial results. Unless otherwise stated, results are presented in United States dollars on a 100% basis.
Jack Lundin, President and CEO commented, "In the quarter we produced 76,774 tonnes of copper and 31,849 ounces of gold, keeping us firmly on track to achieve our annual guidance. Higher realized gold prices and solid operating performance drove nearly \$1 billion in revenue, alongside \$388 million in adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and \$337 million in adjusted operating cash flow from continuing operations. Our consolidated copper cash costs came in at \$2.07 per pound, within the lower end of our guidance range, demonstrating our continued focus on cost discipline.
"Beyond operations, we completed several key strategic initiatives, including the \$1.4 billion sale of our European assets on April 16th, which has meaningfully strengthened our balance sheet. We also introduced a new shareholder distribution policy that targets \$220 million in annual shareholder returns.
"In January we finalized the joint acquisition of Filo Corp. with our partner BHP to form Vicuña Corp., and earlier this week we announced the combined Mineral Resource estimate for the Filo del Sol and Josemaria deposits collectively, the Vicuña project, demonstrating a significant future growth opportunity for the Company. This quarter reflects the strength of our strategy and positions us well for the year ahead."
First Quarter Operational and Financial Highlights
On April 16, 2025, the Company closed the sale of its European assets, Zinkgruvan and Neves-Corvo, to Boliden for cash consideration of \$1,402 million. The financial results from these assets are reported as "discontinued operations" in the Company's financial statements.
- • Copper Production: Production of 76,774 tonnes of copper in the first quarter from continuing operations.
- • Other Production: During the quarter, 32,000 ounces of gold and 2,296 tonnes of nickel were produced.
- Revenue: \$963.9 million in the first quarter from continuing operations with a realized copper price1 of \$4.63 /lb and a realized gold price1 of \$3,349 /oz.
- Net Earnings and Adjusted Earnings1 : During the quarter, net earnings from continuing operations attributable to shareholders of the Company was \$138.1 million (\$0.16 per share) and adjusted earnings from continuing operations was \$93.9 million (\$0.11 per share).
- Adjusted EBITDA1 : \$387.9 million was generated from continuing operations for the quarter.
- Cash Generation: Cash provided by continuing operations was \$122.3 million and free cash flow from operations continuing operations1was \$21.6 million, which was impacted by lower operating cash flow as a result of a \$214.7 million negative change in working capital during the quarter.
- Growth: The Company completed several significant initiatives that redefined its asset portfolio and positioned the Company for long-term growth:
- During the quarter the Company completed the joint acquisition of Filo Corp. with BHP and formed the 50/50 joint arrangement, Vicuña Corp. ("Vicuña"), to hold the Filo del Sol project and the Josemaria project.
- The Company entered into an exclusivity agreement with Talon Metals Corp. on March 5, 2025 to acquire a highly prospective exploration project ("Boulderdash") adjacent to the Company's Eagle Mine.
- During the quarter Lundin Mining announced a new shareholder distribution policy that provides an annual return of approximately \$220 million per year to shareholders through a combination of dividends and share buybacks.
1 These are non-GAAP measures. Please refer to the Company's discussion of non-GAAP and other performance measures in its Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures section at the end of this news release.
- On April 16, 2025 Lundin Mining completed the sale of Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan to Boliden for cash proceeds of \$1,402 million and subsequently paid off its term loan of \$1,150 million.
- On May 4, 2025 the Company announced an initial Mineral Resource estimate for the Filo del Sol sulphide deposit, an update to the Mineral Resource estimate for the Filo del Sol oxide deposit and an update to the Mineral Resource estimate for the Josemaria deposit, which highlighted the combined Vicuña project as one of the largest copper, gold and silver resources in the world.
- • Outlook: The Company reaffirms it is tracking to full year guidance for production, cash costs and capital expenditures. The Company continues to benefit from stronger throughput at Candelaria and Caserones, while higher gold prices have improved cash costs which are expected to continue into the second quarter.
- • Assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations: All assets and liabilities relating to the Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan reporting segments have been classified as current assets and current liabilities held for sale as at March 31, 2025. The operating results of these segments have been classified as earnings (loss) from discontinued operations.
Total assets of \$1,442.2 million and liabilities of \$407.2 million have been classified as held for sale for this purpose. Net loss from discontinued operations of \$13.8 million represents the net loss of \$39.3 million and the net earnings of \$25.5 million from Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

a Attributable to shareholders of Lundin Mining Corporation.
- For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company generated revenue from continuing operations of \$963.9 million (Q1 2024 - \$812.3 million) and from discontinued operations of \$180.1 million (Q1 2024 - \$124.7 million).
- Gross profit from continuing operations for the quarter of \$308.9 million was \$111.5 million higher than in the prior year comparable period of \$197.5 million. The increase was primarily due to higher realized copper and gold prices, lower treatment charges, and favourable foreign exchange. Gross profit from discontinued operations for the quarter of \$69.9 million increased from a gross loss of \$12.1 million in the prior year comparable period primarily due to no depreciation being taken on assets classified as held for sale.
b These are non-GAAP measures. Please refer to the Company's discussion of non-GAAP and other performance measures in its Management's Discussion and Analysis for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures section at the end of this news release.
- Net earnings from continuing operations for the quarter of \$181.4 million increased from the prior year comparable period of \$83.0 million primarily due to an increase in gross profit. Net loss from discontinued operations for the quarter of \$13.8 million (Q1 2024 - net loss of \$24.4 million) primarily resulted from the Euro strengthening in the quarter, resulting in a non-cash impairment of \$65.7 million net of tax (Q1 2024 - nil) to reduce the carrying value of Neves-Corvo to the cash proceeds subsequently received for this asset. This loss was partially offset by increased gross profit from discontinued operations.
- Adjusted earnings from continuing operations for the quarter of \$93.9 million, increased from the prior year comparable period of \$56.4 million as a result of higher gross profit.
- Cash provided by operating activities related to continuing operations for the quarter of \$122.3 million represented a decrease of \$109.8 million from the prior year comparable period of \$232.2 million. The decrease was primarily due to negative working capital outflows of \$214.7 million (Q1 2024 - \$61.8 million) including a buildup of trade receivables from shipments toward the end of the quarter and the recognition of \$45.0 million of revenue at Caserones for shipments in early January for which payment had been received in December 2024. The shipments of copper concentrate were delayed due to certain operational and weather-related issues. Cash provided by operating activities related to discontinued operations for the quarter was \$54.7 million (Q1 2024 - \$35.4 million).
- For the quarter, sustaining capital expenditures1 from continuing operations of \$112.6 million were lower than in the prior year comparable period of \$176.5 million. The net reduction was primarily due to lower spending at Candelaria from reduced deferred stripping and reduced spending on the Los Diques tailing storage facility. Sustaining capital expenditures, from discontinued operations, related to Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan were \$27.7 million and \$21.3 million , respectively, for the quarter.
- Expansionary capital expenditures1of \$62.9 million for the quarter were higher than \$56.0 million in the prior year comparable period as a result of initiatives at Candelaria related to the mine life extension to 2040 under the Environmental Impact Assessment ("2040 EIA"), partially offset by lower allocated spending at the Josemaria Project due to the formation of Vicuña, which completed on January 15, 2025. As of the formation date, 50% of Vicuña's capital expenditures are included in the Company's capital expenditures.
- Free cash flow1 (all operations) for the quarter of negative \$(47.5) million was lower than in the prior year comparable period of negative \$(1.7) million primarily due to less cash provided by operating activities due to negative changes in working capital, partially offset by lower sustaining capital expenditures. Free cash flow from discontinued operations for the quarter was \$5.6 million.
- As at May 7, 2025, the Company had cash of approximately \$252.6 million and net debt excluding lease liabilities1 of approximately \$279.6 million.
1 These are non-GAAP measures. Please refer to the Company's discussion of non-GAAP and other performance measures in its Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures section at the end of this news release.

a - Tonnes (t) and thousands of ounces (koz).
Candelaria (80% owned): Candelaria produced 37,071 tonnes of copper and approximately 21,000 ounces of gold in concentrate on a 100% basis during the quarter. Production in the quarter was positively impacted by increased throughput as a result of higher than anticipated ore softness in sections of Phase 11 in the open pit. The majority of the material processed was from Phase 11, together with material from Phase 12 and long-term stockpiles. Cash cost3of \$1.75/lb was positively impacted by favorable by-product credits driven primarily by higher metal prices.
Caserones (70% owned): Caserones produced 28,709 tonnes of total copper and 602 tonnes of molybdenum on a 100% basis during the quarter. Production was positively impacted by higher throughput in the mill as a result of operational efficiencies that mitigated lower than anticipated grades due to sequencing. Revenue and production costs increased as a result of higher sales volumes as two shipments delayed from December 2024 were completed in the quarter. Cash cost of \$2.52/lb in the quarter was impacted by higher contractor and maintenance costs.
Chapada (100% owned): Chapada produced 8,909 tonnes of copper and approximately 11,000 ounces of gold in concentrate during the quarter. Both metals were impacted by lower recoveries as a result of increased processing of ore from the older low-grade stockpile. Production costs were reduced by lower sales volumes and favourable foreign exchange. Cash cost of \$1.47/lb also benefitted from favourable foreign exchange, combined with higher gold by-product credits.
Eagle (100% owned): Eagle produced 2,296 tonnes of nickel and 2,085 tonnes of copper in the quarter. Production was impacted by lower grades than anticipated at the beginning of the quarter and winter weather which affected ore haulage. Ramp rehabilitation was completed during the quarter, and normal levels of production are expected for the remainder of the year. Production costs were reduced primarily by lower sales volumes. Nickel cash cost of \$3.94/lb was positively impacted by lower mining costs. During the quarter, the Company entered into an exclusivity agreement with Talon Metals Corp. ("Talon") to negotiate an earn-in agreement for the right to acquire up to a 70% ownership interest in the Boulderdash property that is near Eagle.
Neves-Corvo (100% owned): Neves-Corvo produced 6,123 tonnes of copper and 27,691 tonnes of zinc during the quarter. Cash cost during the quarter was \$1.69/lb.
Zinkgruvan (100% owned): Zinkgruvan produced 21,257 tonnes of zinc and 7,586 tonnes of lead in the quarter. Zinc cash cost during the quarter was \$0.40/lb.
b - Candelaria and Caserones production are on a 100% basis.
3 This is a non-GAAP measure. Please refer to the Company's discussion of non-GAAP and other performance measures in its Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures section at the end of this news release.
Outlook
The Company reaffirms its guidance for production, cash costs, capital expenditures, and exploration that was released on January 16, 2025. In regard to operations, the Company expects that all of its sites will meet their respective guidance ranges as published.
At Candelaria, softer ore is expected to continue into the second quarter which will benefit throughput in the mill as seen in this quarter. The Company expects cash costs in the second quarter to be in line with the first quarter, benefiting from a higher gold price.
At Caserones, the performance of the mill, together with expected grade increases and strong cathode production are expected to sustain the Company's annual production guidance for 2025.
At Chapada, production is second half of the year weighted, copper grades and recoveries are expected to increase during this period. Sequencing of the mine plan forecasts processing less lower-grade stockpile and more fresh ore.
At Eagle, it is expected that mine sequencing and grades will normalize during Q2 which supports maintaining the Company's annual production guidance. Additionally, mining at the Eagle deposit is expected to be completed towards the end of the year and higher grade ore from Eagle East will be sourced.

2025 Exploration Investment Guidance
Total exploration expenditure guidance for 2025 is \$40 million.
Vicuña
On January 15, 2025, the Company completed the Filo Acquisition and the Joint Arrangement, resulting in the Company indirectly holding a 50% interest in Vicuña Corp., which owns the Josemaria Project in Argentina and the Filo del Sol Project in Argentina and Chile. BHP indirectly owns the remaining 50% interest in Vicuña.
Vicuña will be led by Dave Dicaire, General Manager, Vicuña, former Executive Vice President of the Josemaria Project at Lundin Mining. During the quarter, integration efforts were prioritized, with employees from the Josemaria and Filo del Sol project teams transitioning to Vicuña to ensure continuity and preserve project knowledge. Recruitment for key leadership positions also commenced.
In 2025, work will focus on advancing studies related to the synergies between the Filo del Sol and Josemaria projects, continuing the drilling program, and progressing the development of the Josemaria Project.
Activities at Josemaria during the quarter centered on the ongoing update of the Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") and continued advancement of the water program. Fieldwork progressed on the water program, geotechnical studies, and the wetlands biodiversity offset initiatives. In addition, the contract for the construction of the Northern Access Road was awarded, with construction scheduled to begin in mid-2025. Work also continued on a multi-phased development concept pertaining to the Josemaria and Filo del Sol ore bodies. An integrated technical report is targeted to be complete by early 2026.
Government relations activities continued with both the national and provincial governments. In conjunction, discussions on provincial agreements continued to be advanced. A plan for preparation and submission of the Basis Law - Incentive Regime for Large Investments ("RIGI") application was advanced.
Community investment programs were launched with a focus on gender, youth training, cooperative development, and rural livelihoods.
Drilling during the quarter of 16,650 m primarily focused on step-out holes to both the east and west designed to expand the Filo del Sol Mineral Resource. Additionally, an exploration hole in the exploration sector of Cumbre Verde further north was finished at 1,400 m, of which 436 m were drilled in Q1.
b. Sustaining capital expenditure is a supplementary financial measure, and expansionary capital expenditure is a non-GAAP measure – see Section "Non-GAAP and Other Performance Measures" of this MD&A for discussion.
On May 4, 2025 the Company announced an initial Mineral Resource estimate for the Filo del Sol sulphide deposit, an update to the Mineral Resource estimate for the Filo del Sol oxide deposit and an update to the Mineral Resource estimate for the Josemaria deposit, which highlighted the combined Vicuña Project as one of the largest copper, gold and silver resources in the world.
During the quarter, the Company spent \$42.7 million in capital expenditures compared to \$56.0 million in the prior year comparable period. Reduced spending was primarily due to capital expenditures for the Josemaria Project being recorded in Vicuña at the Company's 50% attributable share compared to 100% in the prior year comparable period.

Highlights
For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company generated revenue from continuing operations of \$963.9 million (Q1 2024 - \$812.3 million) and from discontinued operations of \$180.1 million (Q1 2024 - \$124.7 million). Net income in the quarter from continuing operations was \$181.4 million (Q1 2024 - net income of \$83.0 million) and net loss from discontinued operations was \$13.8 million (Q1 2024 - net loss of \$24.4 million).
For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, cash provided by operating activities related to continuing operations of \$122.3 million (Q1 2024 -\$232.2 million) and free cash flow - continuing operations1 of \$(53.1) million (Q1 2024 - \$(0.3) million) decreased due to negative changes in working capital. Adjusted operating cash flow1 from continuing operations was \$337.0 million (Q1 2024 - \$294.0 million) after adjusting for changes in working capital, and benefited from increased revenue and gross profit in the quarter.
At March 31, 2025, the Company had net debt excluding lease liabilities1 of \$1,441.7 million (December 31, 2024 - \$1,332.3 million).
On January 15, 2025, the Company and BHP Investments Canada Inc. ("BHP") completed the acquisition of Filo Corp. ("Filo") through a plan of arrangement and concurrently formed a 50/50 joint arrangement, Vicuña Corp. (the "Joint Arrangement" or "Vicuña"), holding the Josemaria Project in Argentina and the Filo del Sol Project in Argentina and Chile, collectively the ("Vicuña Project"). On completion, BHP paid Lundin Mining a cash consideration of \$689.5 million for a 50% interest in the Josemaria project and Lundin Mining paid \$610.7 million (C\$877.8 million) in cash and issued 94.1 million Lundin Mining shares to Filo shareholders for its 50% interest in Filo. Following these transactions, net cash provided to the Company was \$78.8 million. The Company accounts for Vicuña as a joint operation and accordingly records its 50% share of the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, on April 16, 2025, the Company announced the completion of the sale of its Neves-Corvo operation in Portugal and Zinkgruvan operation in Sweden to Boliden AB. At closing, Lundin Mining received cash proceeds of \$1,402 million which includes accrued interest from the lock-box date of August 31, 2024. In connection with the transaction, the Company may be entitled to future contingent payments of up to \$150 million, which are tied to commodity prices and satisfaction of certain conditions. As a result of the Euro strengthening in the quarter, a non-cash impairment of \$65.7 million (\$65.7 million net of tax) was recorded at March 31, 2025 to reduce the carrying value of Neves-Corvo to the cash proceeds subsequently received for this asset. On April 23, 2025, the cash proceeds from the sale were used to repay the Company's \$1,150 million term loan ("The Term Loan") in its entirety as well as \$170.0 million on the Company's revolving credit facility ("RCF"). As at May 7, 2025, the Company had cash of approximately \$252.6 million and net debt excluding lease liabilities of approximately \$279.6 million. Net cash in Vicuña is included on a 50% basis to represent Lundin Mining's attributable share.

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

Corporate Updates
- On May 4, 2025 the Company announced an initial Mineral Resource estimate for the Filo del Sol sulphide deposit, an update to the Mineral Resource estimate for the Filo del Sol oxide deposit and an update to the Mineral Resource estimate for the Josemaria deposit, which highlighted the combined Vicuña Project as one of the largest copper, gold and silver resources in the world.
- On April 16, 2025, the Company announced the completion of the sale of its Neves-Corvo operation in Portugal and Zinkgruvan operation in Sweden to Boliden AB. At closing, Lundin Mining received cash proceeds of \$1,402 million which includes accrued interest from the lock-box date of August 31, 2024. Future contingent payments of up to \$150 million are tied to commodity prices and satisfaction of certain conditions.
- On March 26, 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors amended the shareholder distribution policy to increase the level of share buybacks while adjusting the dividend to maintain the total amount returned to shareholders annually. As part of this strategy, the Company is adjusting its quarterly dividend from C\$0.09 per share to C\$0.0275 per share while allocating up to approximately \$150 million per annum in share buybacks through the Company's normal course issuer bid program. If the Company allocates less than \$150 million in share buybacks in a calendar year, the shortfall will be distributed as a special dividend. If applicable, the special dividend will be paid alongside the regular fourth quarter dividend.
- On March 5, 2025, the Company entered into an exclusivity agreement with Talon to negotiate an earn-in agreement for the right to acquire up to a 70% ownership interest in the Boulderdash property that is near the Company's Eagle mine, and the Company advanced \$5.0 million to Talon to commence exploration at Boulderdash.
- On February 19, 2025, the Company announced the appointment of Ms. Victoria McMillan to the Company's Board of Directors effective the same date. The Company also announced the retirement of Director Ms. Juliana Lam effective as at the 2025 Annual Meeting.
- On February 12, 2025, the Company reported its Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates as at December 31, 2024 (or as otherwise specified).
- On January 30, 2025, the Company announced that it received notice from the Superintendencia del Medio Ambiente ("SMA") following investigative proceedings involving the sinkhole that occurred at the Alcaparrosa mine located in the Candelaria complex in 2022. The notice levies a fine of \$3.3 million and orders the continued closure of the Alcaparrosa mine, based on four violations investigated. Mining operations at Alcaparrosa have been suspended since the incident occurred in 2022 while operations at the Candelaria mine continue unaffected.
- On January 15, 2025, the Company and BHP completed the joint acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common shares (the "Filo Shares") of Filo not already owned by Lundin Mining, BHP and their respective affiliates (the "Filo Acquisition"). Concurrently, Lundin Mining and BHP formed Vicuña. On completion, BHP paid Lundin Mining a cash consideration of \$689.5 million for a 50% interest in the Josemaria project and Lundin Mining paid \$610.7 million (C\$877.8 million) in cash and 94.1 million Lundin Mining shares to Filo shareholders for its 50% interest in Filo.
Financial Performance
- Gross profit from continuing operations for the quarter of \$308.9 million was \$111.5 million higher than in the prior year comparable period of \$197.5 million. The increase was primarily due to higher realized copper and gold prices, lower treatment charges, and favourable foreign exchange. Gross profit from discontinued operations for the quarter of \$69.9 million increased from a gross loss of \$12.1 million in the prior year comparable period primarily due to no depreciation being taken on assets classified as held for sale.
-
Net earnings from continuing operations for the quarter of \$181.4 million increased from the prior year comparable period of \$83.0 million primarily due to an increase in gross profit. Net loss from discontinued operations for the quarter of \$13.8 million (Q1 2024 - net loss of \$24.4 million) primarily resulted from the Euro strengthening in the quarter, resulting in a non-cash impairment of \$65.7 million net of tax (Q1 2024 - nil) to reduce the carrying value of Neves-Corvo to the cash proceeds subsequently received for this asset. This loss was partially offset by increased gross profit from discontinued operations.
-
Adjusted earnings1 from continuing operations for the quarter of \$93.9 million, increased from the prior year comparable period of \$56.4 million as a result of higher gross profit.
- Cash provided by operating activities related to continuing operations for the quarter of \$122.3 million represented a decrease of \$109.8 million from the prior year comparable period of \$232.2 million. The decrease was primarily due to negative working capital outflows of \$214.7 million (Q1 2024 - \$61.8 million) including a buildup of trade receivables from shipments toward the end of the quarter and the recognition of \$45.0 million of revenue at Caserones for shipments in early January for which payment had been received in December 2024. The shipments of copper concentrate were delayed due to certain operational and weather-related issues. Cash provided by operating activities related to discontinued operations for the quarter was \$54.7 million (Q1 2024 - \$35.4 million).
- For the quarter, sustaining capital expenditures1 from continuing operations of \$112.6 million were lower than in the prior year comparable period of \$176.5 million. The net reduction was primarily due to lower spending at Candelaria from reduced deferred stripping and reduced spending on the Los Diques tailing storage facility. Sustaining capital expenditures, from discontinued operations, related to Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan were \$27.7 million and \$21.3 million, respectively, for the quarter.
- Expansionary capital expenditures1of \$62.9 million for the quarter were higher than \$56.0 million in the prior year comparable period as a result of initiatives at Candelaria related to the mine life extension to 2040 under the Environmental Impact Assessment ("2040 EIA"), partially offset by lower allocated spending at the Josemaria Project due to the formation of Vicuña, which completed on January 15, 2025. As of the formation date, 50% of Vicuña's capital expenditures are included in the Company's capital expenditures.
- Free cash flow1 (all operations) for the quarter of negative \$(47.5) million was lower than in the prior year comparable period of negative \$(1.7) million primarily due to less cash provided by operating activities due to negative changes in working capital, partially offset by lower sustaining capital expenditures. Free cash flow from discontinued operations for the quarter was \$5.6 million.
Financial Position and Financing
- Cash and cash equivalents related to continuing operations as at March 31, 2025 were \$341.6 million. Cash provided by operating activities related to continuing operations of \$122.3 million in the quarter was used to fund investing activities related to continuing operations of \$101.0 million, which primarily included \$176.0 million investment in mineral properties, plant and equipment, partially offset by the net cash inflow of \$78.8 million upon the formation of Vicuña.
- As at March 31, 2025, the Company had net debt1 of \$1,699.3 million and net debt excluding lease liabilities of \$1,441.7 million. On April 23, 2025, the cash proceeds from the sale of Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan to Boliden were used to repay the Company's existing \$1,150.0 million Term Loan in its entirety as well as \$170.0 million on the Company's RCF. As at May 7, 2025, the Company had cash of approximately \$252.6 million and net debt excluding lease liabilities of approximately \$279.6 million.

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

On a quarterly basis the Company's revenue, gross profit and net earnings can be impacted by metal prices, sales volumes as a result of the timing of concentrate shipments, and provisional pricing adjustments on current and prior period shipments.
The acquisition of the Caserones mine in July 2023 contributed to an increase in gross profit and cash flow from operations in Q3 2023 and in subsequent quarters. Additionally, fair value adjustments of \$32.2 million and \$7.8 million impacted production costs in Q3 2023 and Q4 2023, respectively, as in-process and concentrate inventory measured at fair value at the acquisition date was sold. An \$800.0 million Term Loan was entered into in conjunction with the acquisition and was subsequently increased by \$350.0 million with funds used to acquire an additional 19% of Caserones in 2024. Increased debt has increased the Company's interest expense from Q3 2023 through Q1 2025, reducing net earnings.
In Q2 2024, a fall of ground in the lower ramp at the Eagle mine reduced mining rates while ramp rehabilitation was completed. This resulted in lower revenue as well as \$9.8 million, \$14.8 million, and \$11.4 million of overhead costs incurred in Q2 2024, Q3 2024 and Q4 2024, respectively, reducing net earnings.
In Q4 2024, net earnings from continuing operations were reduced by non-cash impairments including \$104.9 million (\$82.8 million net of tax) relating to the Eagle mine due to a decline in nickel prices and prolonged rehabilitation of the Eagle East ramp, \$93.4 million (\$61.7 million net of tax) related to the Suruca gold deposit near Chapada following the removal of reserves and \$55.9 million (\$41.6 million net of tax) due to the continued closure of the Alcaparrosa mine within the Candelaria mining complex. This amount was partially offset by a \$28.3 million non-cash partial reversal of a previous longterm ore stockpile inventory write-down at Chapada, as a result of higher market expectations for long-term copper and gold prices.
In the quarters presented, the Company has entered into derivative contracts for foreign currency, diesel, copper prices and gold prices as part of its risk management strategy. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivative contracts and foreign exchange and trading gains on debt and equity investments are recorded in other income and expense and impact the Company's net earnings.
As reported above, following the Company's announcement of a definitive agreement to sell its interest in the Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan mines, results from these operations are reported as discontinued operations. Net loss from discontinued operations in Q4 2024 was impacted by a \$291.2 million non-cash impairment to align the carrying value of Neves-Corvo with expected cash consideration. As a result of the Euro strengthening in Q1 2025 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.
In Q4 2024, a deferred tax recovery of \$41.5 million was recorded at Caserones following a re-assessment of the estimated future utilization of accumulated tax losses.
In Q1 2025, after the formation of Vicuña Corp., financial results are accounted for at the Company's 50% share. In prior quarters the Josemaria Project (now part of Vicuña) was wholly owned by the Company and reported at 100%.

Revenue from continuing operations for the quarter of \$963.9 million was an increase of \$151.6 million over the prior year comparable period. The revenue increase was primarily due to an increase in realized copper and gold prices.
Revenue from gold and silver for the quarter and year includes the partial recognition of an upfront purchase price on the sale of precious metals streams for Candelaria, Neves-Corvo, and Zinkgruvan as well as the cash proceeds which amount to approximately \$433/oz for gold at Candelaria and \$4.32/oz for silver at Candelaria and between \$4.50/oz and \$4.75/oz for silver at Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan, respectively. Chapada's copper revenue includes the recognition of deferred revenue from copper streams acquired with the Chapada mine, as well as the cash proceeds of 30% of the market price of the copper sold under the streams, which is limited to 7.9% of Chapada's total copper production.
Revenue is recorded using the metal price received for sales that settle during the reporting period. For sales that have not been settled, an estimate is used based on the expected month of settlement and the forward price of the metal at the end of the reporting period. The difference between the estimate and the final price received is recognized by adjusting revenue in the period in which the sale is settled. Settlement dates can range from one to six months after shipment.

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

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

| (50,745) | (56,681) | 5,936 |
Current income tax expense in the quarter was higher than in the prior year comparable period primarily due to foreign exchange fluctuations during the quarter.
Deferred income tax expense decreased compared to the prior period, primarily due to the utilization of losses in the prior period at Caserones, and a deferred tax recovery at Chapada resulting from the foreign exchange revaluation of nonmonetary assets driven by the strengthening of the BRL against the USD as of March 31, 2025. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in deferred tax expense at Candelaria due to positive provisional metal price adjustments in the quarter and the recognition of deferred tax liability associated with outside basis differences related to the Company's investment in Vicuña.

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

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

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

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

Production
Copper production in the quarter was lower than in the prior year comparable period due to lower throughput. Zinc production in the quarter was higher than in the prior year comparable period mainly due to higher throughput and grades, partially offset by lower recoveries.
Production Costs and Cash Cost
Production costs in the quarter were higher than in the prior year comparable period primarily due to higher zinc sales volume and an increase in electricity and maintenance costs, partially offset by favourable foreign exchange. Electricity costs increased as a result of higher market energy prices.
Cash cost per pound in the quarter was lower than in the prior year comparable period primarily due to higher by-product credits driven by an increase in zinc sales volume and higher realized zinc prices as well as favourable foreign exchange, partially offset by lower copper sales volume. AISC per pound in the quarter was lower than AISC from the prior year comparable period due to lower cash cost per pound offset partially by higher sustaining capital expenditures.

Gross profit was higher than the prior year comparable period primarily due to no depreciation being taken on assets classified as held for sale, as well as higher realized copper and zinc prices and lower treatment and refining charges, partially offset by lower copper sales volume and higher electricity costs. Net earnings in the quarter was impacted by a non-cash impairment charge of \$66 million to recognize mining rights and mineral properties at their estimated fair value, based on the cash proceeds received.

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

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

1 Capital expenditures are reported on a cash basis, as presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows. Sustaining capital expenditures is a supplementary financial measure and expansionary capital expenditures is a non-GAAP measure – see the "Non-GAAP and Other Performance Measures" section of this MD&A for discussion.
Cash used in financing activities related to continuing operations during the quarter included net proceeds of \$98.5 million from debt, part of which was used to fund the acquisition of Filo, as well as \$71.5 million to purchase common shares through an automatic share purchase plan, pursuant to the Company's Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB"), which was reintroduced at the end of 2024.
Free cash flow from operations - continuing operations and free cash flow - continuing operations during the quarter were lower than in the prior year comparable period primarily due to negative working capital movements, partially offset by the decrease in capital expenditures.
At discontinued operations, cash provided by operating activities during the quarter increased to \$54.7 million from \$35.4 million in the prior year comparable period. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volumes. Cash used in investing activities related to discontinued operations was \$48.4 million during the quarter and primarily related to sustaining capital expenditure.

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

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). |

| 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, nickel and molybdenum) adding back treatment and refining charges, cash effects of gold and copper streams, recognition of deferred revenue from the allocation of upfront streaming proceeds and sales of silver and other metals, divided by the volume of metal sold in the period. |
Revenue from continuing operations |
These measures provide an understanding of the price realized in each reporting period for metal sales. |
| Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA |
EBITDA represents net earnings or loss for the period before income tax expense or recovery, depreciation and amortization, and finance costs, net. Adjusted EBITDA removes the effects of items that do not reflect the Company's underlying operating performance and are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. These may include: unrealized foreign exchange, unrealized gains or losses from derivative contracts, revaluation gains or losses on marketable securities, derivative liabilities and purchase options, expenses for acquisition-related fair value adjustments to inventory, non-cash impairment charges and reversals, non-cash stockpile inventory or fixed asset write-downs or reversals, goodwill impairment, costs relating to the sinkhole near Ojos del Salado operations, costs relating to the suspension of underground operations at Eagle, gains or losses on disposals or partial disposals of subsidiaries, income from investments in associates, insurance proceeds and litigation and settlements. |
Net earnings (loss) from continuing operations and from discontinued operations |
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used to evaluate the Company's operational performance and its ability to generate cash from core operations. |
| Adjusted earnings (loss) |
Defined as net earnings or loss attributable to shareholders of the Company excluding the effects (net of tax) of significant items that do not reflect the Company's underlying operating performance. In addition to the items listed for Adjusted EBITDA, these may also include: deferred tax recovery or expense arising from foreign exchange translation, deferred tax recovery or expense arising from changes in tax rates, and deferred tax recovery or expense relating to disposals or partial disposals of subsidiaries. Adjustments exclude amounts attributable to non-controlling interests. |
Net earnings (loss) attributable to Lundin Mining Corporation shareholders and Net earnings (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Lundin Mining Corporation |
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. |

The transaction closed on April 16, 2025. As at and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 the assets of the Neves-Corvo Mine and the Zinkgruvan Mine have been classified as current assets held for sale, the liabilities of the Neves-Corvo Mine and the Zinkgruvan Mine have been classified as current liabilities associated with assets held for sale, and the operating results of these segments have been re-presented as a single line item of loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes on the consolidated statement of earnings (Note 3).

(iii) 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.

The new accounting standards issued are consistent with those disclosed in Note 2 of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

3. ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On December 9, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its 100% interest in the Neves-Corvo Mine and its 100% interest in the Zinkgruvan Mine to Boliden AB ("Boliden"). The transaction closed on April 16, 2025 and the Company received cash proceeds 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 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 results of these operations have been restated for the current and comparative periods to reclassify the earnings (loss) as earnings (loss) from discontinued operations. All assets and liabilities relating to the Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan reporting segments have been classified as current assets and current liabilities held for sale at March 31, 2025, and no depreciation is charged on these assets.
An impairment charge of \$65.7 million (\$65.7 million net of tax) was recorded in March 2025 relating to the Neves-Corvo reporting segment to recognize mining rights and mineral properties at their estimated fair value, based on the cash proceeds received (level 2 measurement).

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 \$690 million for a 50% interest in the Josemaria project, and the Company and BHP formed the Vicuña 50/50 joint arrangement by contributing their interests in Filo and the Josemaria project into Vicuña. The Company realized a pre-tax gain of \$3.0 million, recorded in other income (expense), as result of the contribution of the Josemaria project to the Vicuña joint arrangement.
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 | \$ 610,677 |
|---|---|
| Fair value of 94,074,959 common shares issued by the Company (a) | 799,802 |
| Transaction costs | 10,066 |
| The Company's previously held shares in Filo | 49,915 |
| Total purchase price | \$ 1,470,460 |
| Assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Filo (50% share) are: | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | \$ 17,277 |
| Receivables and other assets | 486 |
| Mineral properties, plant and equipment (Note 10) | 1,456,676 |
| Total assets | 1,474,439 |
| Trade and other payables | (3,979) |
| Total liabilities | (3,979) |
| Total assets acquired and liabilities assumed, net | \$ 1,470,460 |
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.

24. 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, CLP, and SEK 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 maintained to limit exposure to changes in the price of diesel fuel purchases at Candelaria, and limit its 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 statement of (loss) earnings.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company entered into zero cost collar contracts in USD/BRL and USD/CLP currency pairs totaling \$24 million (equivalent to BRL 121 million) and \$950 million (equivalent to CLP 926 billion), respectively. The collar ranges on the respective contracts range from BRL 5.10 to BRL 6.07 and CLP 900 to CLP 1,085. Remaining contracts are set to expire through 2025 and 2026.

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 calculates 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 \$70.4 million in revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2025 (March 31, 2024 - \$16.2 million positive pricing adjustments).
Notes to condensed interim consolidated financial statements For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (Unaudited - Tabular amounts in thousands 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.
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.
