Highlights
For the year ended December 31, 2023 the Company generated revenue of $3.4 billion (2022 - $3.0 billion), gross profit of
$652.4 million  (2022 - $762.6 million) and adjusted EBITDA 1 of $1,363.5 million (2022 - $1,292.5 million). Financial results
include the contribution from the acquisition of the Caserones copper-molybdenum mine ("Caserones") located in Chile,
from the closing date of the transaction on July 13, 2023.
The operations performed well in 2023 with the Company achieving production at the midpoint of guidance or higher for all
metals. Both copper and zinc production had record annual production volumes of 314,798 tonnes and 185,161 tonnes
respectively, whilst nickel production amounted to 16,429 tonnes for the year. The gold production of 148,968 oz was at
the upper end of the guidance whilst molybdenum production of 2,024 tonnes was in excess of the upper end of guidance.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2023, the Company generated revenue of $1.1 billion (Q4 2022 - $0.8 billion ), gross
profit of $188.9 million (Q4 2022 - $155.2 million) and adjusted EBITDA of $419.7 million (Q4 2022 - $353.7 million).
Operationally, the Company performed well during the fourth quarter of 2023 with 103,337 tonnes of copper and 50,719
tonnes of zinc produced, both record quarterly volumes for the Company.
On February 8, 2024 the Company announced its mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates effective as of December
31, 2023. On a 100% basis, estimated proven and probable mineral reserves of contained copper is 10,630 kt which
represents an increase of 2,220 kt over the previous year, primarily attributable to the addition of Caserones. Additional
drilling at the Sauva deposit in Brazil grew the measured and indicated copper mineral resources at this deposit by 25%.
Candelaria had additional drilling at La Espanola and Santos which contributed to an increase in overall mineral resources,
offsetting changes to underground mining regulations which have impacted underground mineral resources.

Operational Performance
Candelaria (80% owned): Candelaria produced, on a 100% basis, 152,012 tonnes of copper, approximately 90,000 ounces
of gold and 1.5 million ounces of silver in concentrate during the year. Copper production was consistent with the prior year
due to higher throughput being offset by lower grades and recoveries. Gold production was higher than in the prior year
due to higher throughput and grades. Both metals were within the most recently-disclosed 2023 production guidance
ranges. Production costs were higher than the prior year primarily due to inflationary cost increases and and unfavourable
foreign exchange. Copper cash cost1 of $2.07/lb was within the most recently-disclosed 2023 cash cost guidance range.
Caserones (51% owned): Caserones produced 65,210 tonnes of copper and 2,024 tonnes of molybdenum on a 100% basis
during the year, from the acquisition closing date of July 13, 2023 to the end of the year. Both metals met or exceeded the
most recently-disclosed 2023 production guidance ranges due to strong throughput, grade and recoveries. Copper cash cost
of $1.99/lb was slightly below the low end of the most recently-disclosed cash cost guidance range as a result of higher
production.
Chapada (100% owned): Chapada produced 45,719 tonnes of copper and approximately 59,000 ounces of gold, with
copper production remaining consistent to the prior year and gold production being negatively impacted by lower grade,
throughput, and recoveries. Both metals were within the most recently-disclosed 2023 production guidance ranges.
Production costs were lower than the prior year due to lower sales volumes. Full year copper cash cost of $2.27/lb was
below the low end of the most recently-disclosed cash cost guidance.
Eagle (100% owned): Eagle’s production of 16,429 tonnes of nickel and 13,600 tonnes of copper were near the higher ends
of recently-disclosed 2023 production guidance ranges but lower than that in the prior year due to planned lower grades.
Production costs were lower than the prior year due to lower sales volumes. Nickel cash cost1 of $2.16/lb was within the
most recently-disclosed 2023 cash cost guidance range but higher than the prior year as a result of lower grade, lower by-
product credits and higher repair and maintenance costs.
Neves-Corvo (100% owned): Neves-Corvo produced 33,823 tonnes of copper and 108,812 tonnes of zinc during the year.
Zinc production increased significantly from the prior year due to higher throughput as a result of the zinc expansion project
("ZEP"). Copper production also increased due to higher throughput and production of both metals was within the most
recently-disclosed 2023 production guidance ranges. Production costs were lower than in the prior year despite higher
sales, primarily due to lower input costs, in particular lower electricity and diesel prices, partially offset by unfavourable
foreign exchange. Copper cash cost of $2.37/lb for the year exceeded the most recently-disclosed 2023 cash cost guidance
range and was higher than in the prior year primarily due to lower zinc by-product credits, higher treatment and refining
charges, and unfavourable foreign exchange.
Zinkgruvan (100% owned): Zinc production of 76,349 tonnes was consistent with the prior year, but slightly below the most
recently-disclosed 2023 production guidance range. Installation of a sequential flotation system during the year is achieving
improved recoveries, but a longer than anticipated ramp-up limited mill availability and reduced recoveries, limiting
production of both lead and zinc. Lead production of 26,284 tonnes was also lower than in the prior year. Production costs
and sales volumes were consistent with the prior year and zinc cash cost 1 of $0.43/lb was below the most recently-disclosed
2023 cash cost guidance range but higher than in the prior year, primarily due to lower by-product credits.

Corporate Updates
On February 22, 2023, the Company filed updated technical reports for Candelaria and Neves-Corvo.
On July 10, 2023 the Company published its 2022 Sustainability Report. The report highlights progress towards the
Company's "Focused on the Future" long-term sustainability strategy, launch and rollout of a fatal risk management
program and Candelaria's achievement of The Copper MarkTM certification in early 2023, among other things.
On July 13, 2023, the Company announced the closing of the acquisition of 51% of the issued and outstanding equity of
SCM Minera Lumina Copper Chile ("Lumina Copper"), which owns the Caserones copper-molybdenum mine located in
Chile. Net cash paid at closing was $648.6 million, consisting of $796.6 million upfront cash consideration after
adjustments, net of $148.0 million cash and cash equivalents held by Lumina Copper at closing on a 100% basis.
Excluding the 49% of cash and cash equivalents held by Lumina Copper at closing that are not attributable to the
Company, net cash paid at closing was $721.1 million for the Company's 51% equity interest in Caserones. Remaining
deferred cash consideration of $150 million will be payable in installments as follows: $50 million to be paid in five
installments of $10 million on the anniversary of the transaction closing date in each of 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, and
2028; and $100 million shall be paid on the anniversary of the closing date in 2029. Lundin Mining also has the right to
acquire up to an additional 19% interest in Lumina Copper for $350 million over a five-year period commencing on the
first anniversary of the date of closing. A technical report for the Caserones mine titled “NI 43-101 Technical Report on
the Caserones Mining Operation, Caserones Project, Atacama Region, Chile” was filed under the Company's profile on
SEDAR+.
On September 11, 2023, the Company announced that the Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) for the extension
of operations and mine life for its Candelaria Copper Mine in Chile was approved by the Regional Environmental
Commission of Atacama on September 8, 2023. Approval of the EIA will allow for the extension of Candelaria's mine life
to 2040 and include various measures that will support sustainable social, economic, and environmental development
in the Atacama Region.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company declared dividends in the amount of $206.1 million, or C$0.36
per share.
On December 6, 2023, the Company announced that it had renewed its Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB") which allows
the Company to purchase up to 52,538,870 common shares over a twelve-month period commencing on December 11,
2023.
In December 2023, Jack Lundin, President and former Director of the Company, assumed the role of President and
Chief Executive Officer replacing Peter Rockandel. Mr Rockandel remained on the Board of Directors until December
31, 2023 and Mr Lundin re-joined the Board of Directors on January 1, 2024.
During 2023, the Company successfully completed a move of its corporate headquarters from Toronto, Ontario to
Vancouver, British Columbia.
On February 12, 2024, the Company reported an employee fatality at the Neves-Corvo Mine in Portugal. Operations
were voluntarily suspended and restarted on February 15, 2024. The appropriate authorities in Portugal were notified
and the Company is providing its full cooperation in their investigation.
Financial Performance
Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2023  was $652.4 million which was  $110.2 million lower than the prior
year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower zinc prices at Zinkgruvan and Neves-Corvo and lower nickel prices
and volumes at Eagle offset by the inclusion of Caserones gross profit, which was inclusive of $39.9 million of fair value
adjustments to revalue in-process and concentrate inventory on hand at the acquisition date.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, net earnings of $315.2 million were lower than the prior year period due to
lower gross profit, higher financing costs, as well as higher non-cash tax expenses offset partially by lower general
exploration and business development expenses.
           
4
Adjusted earnings1 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 of $336.2 million were $146.6 million lower than
the prior year  primarily due to the same factors as the change in net earnings described above.
Cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 of $1,016.6 million was $139.7 million
higher than the prior year comparable period and benefited from the inclusion of production from Caserones, as well
as a lower outflow from change in working capital during the year.
Financial Position and Financing
On July 27, 2023, the Company announced it had obtained a three-year term loan (the "Term Loan") of a principal
amount of $800.0 million with an additional $400.0 million accordion option, maturing July 2026. The Term Loan was
obtained in conjunction with the Company's acquisition of a 51% interest in Caserones , and the $400 million accordion
becomes available, subject to commitments from the lenders, upon closing of up to an additional 19% interest in
Caserones in accordance with the purchase agreement.
Cash and cash equivalents as at December  31, 2023 were $268.8 million. Cash generated from operations of $1,016.6
million  in the year ended December 31, 2023 was used to fund investing activities of $1,674.5 million, which includes
the acquisition of Caserones. Cash generated from financing activities was $728.6 million, which was comprised
primarily of the proceeds from the Term Loan to finance the Caserones acquisition.
As at December 31, 2023, the Company had a net debt 1 balance of  $1,223.4 million.  Net debt1  excluding  lease
liabilities  was $946.2 million.
As at February 21, 2024, the Company had a cash balance of approximately $446.7 million and a net debt balance
excluding lease liabilities of approximately $851.4 million.

a. Guidance as outlined in the news release 'Lundin Mining Provides 2024 Guidance & Announces 2023 Production Results' dated January 14, 2024.
b. Cash costs are based on various assumptions and estimates, including but not limited to: production volumes, commodity prices (Cu: $3.75/lb, Zn:
$1.10/lb, Pb: $0.90/lb, Au: $1,800/oz, Mo: $20.00/lb, Ag: $23.00/oz), foreign exchange rates (€/USD:1.05, USD/SEK:10.50, USD/CLP:850, USD/BRL:5.00)
and production costs. Cash cost is a non-GAAP measure - see section 'Non-GAAP and Other Performance Measures' of this MD&A for discussion.
c. 68% of Candelaria's total gold and silver production are subject to a streaming agreement, and silver production at Zinkgruvan and Neves-Corvo are
also subject to streaming agreements. Cash costs are calculated based on receipt of approximately $429/oz gold and $4.28/oz to $4.68/oz silver.
d. Chapada's cash cost is calculated on a by-product basis and does not include the effects of its copper stream agreements. Effects of the copper stream
agreements are reflected in copper revenue and will impact realized price per pound.

2 Capital expenditures are reported on a cash basis, as presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
The Company's annual results have been impacted by the acquisition of the Josemaria Project in April 2022 and the
acquisition of the Caserones mine in July 2023. Project development costs for the Josemaria Project were initially included
in general exploration expenses but began to be capitalized from the fourth quarter of 2022, contributing to higher general
exploration expenses and lower capital expenditure in 2022 as compared to 2023. The acquisition of the Caserones mine in
July 2023 contributed to an increase in total metal production, net earnings and capital expenditures in 2023 as compared
to 2022. Additionally, fair value adjustments of $39.9 million were recorded in production costs in 2023 to re-value the
concentrate and in-process inventory on hand at the acquisition of the Caserones mine.
During the year ended December 31, 2022 inflationary increases in production costs were experienced, including for
electricity, diesel and consumables. Input costs stabilized and in some cases lowered during the year ended December 31,
2023. These movements impacted net earnings, adjusted earnings and adjusted EBITDA in each year. Non-cash write-downs
of long-term ore stockpile inventory at Chapada of $66.8 million and $68.1 million were recognized in each of the years
ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, reducing net earnings in those years.
The $800 million Term Loan entered into in conjunction with the Caserones acquisition increased the Company's total debt
in mid-2023 and has increased interest expense, reducing net earnings. From 2022 the Company has entered into derivative
contracts for foreign currency and diesel as part of its risk management strategy, with realized and unrealized gains and
losses impacting net earnings. The Company has also realized foreign exchange and trading gains on debt and equity
investments from mid-2022 to support capital funding for the Josemaria Project.

1 The sum of quarterly amounts may differ from year-to-date results due to rounding.

4 Capital expenditures are reported on a cash basis, as presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows
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 Company's results have also been impacted by the acquisition of the Josemaria Project in April 2022 and the acquisition
of the Caserones mine in July 2023. Project development costs for the Josemaria Project were initially included in general
exploration expenses following the acquisition of the project in April 2022, but began to be capitalized from the fourth
quarter of 2022. This reduced net earnings in Q2 2022 and Q3 2022 and contributed to higher capital expenditure starting
in Q4 2022.
The acquisition of the Caserones mine in July 2023 contributed to an increase in gross profit and cash flow from operations
in each of Q3 2023 and Q4 2023. Additionally, fair value adjustments of $32.2 million and $7.8 million were recorded in
production costs in Q3 2023 and Q4 2023, respectively, to re-value in-process and concentrate inventory on hand at the
acquisition date. The $800 million Term Loan entered into in conjunction with the acquisition has increased the Company's
interest expense in Q3 2023 and subsequent quarters, reducing net earnings.
During 2022, inflationary price increases were experienced for electricity, diesel and consumables. In 2023, input prices
stabilized, and in some cases lowered. These trends impacted gross profit and net earnings in the quarters presented
above.
A non-cash write-down, including depreciation, of long-term ore stockpile inventory at Chapada of $66.8 million was
recognized in Q4 2022, reducing net earnings.
From Q3 2022, the Company has entered into derivative contracts for foreign currency and diesel as part of its risk
management strategy. From Q2 2022, the Company has also realized foreign exchange and trading gains on debt and equity
investments to support capital funding for the Josemaria Project. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivative
contracts and foreign exchange and trading gains on debt equity investments are recorded in other income and impact the
Company's net earnings.

1 Caserones results are from July 13, 2023.
                                    10
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023 amounted to $3,392.1 million  which was higher than the prior year as a
result of the inclusion of Caserones copper and molybdenum revenue offset by decreases in nickel volumes and prices, and
zinc prices.
Revenue from gold and silver for the year ended December 31, 2023 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 $425/oz for gold and between $4.24/oz and $4.60/oz for silver.
Chapada’s copper revenue includes the recognition of deferred revenue from copper streams acquired with the Chapada
mine, as well as the cash proceeds of 30% of the market price of the copper sold under the streams.
Revenue is recorded using the metal price received for sales that settle during the reporting period. For sales that have not
been settled, an estimate is used based on the expected month of settlement and the forward price of the metal at the end
of the reporting period. The difference between the estimate and the final price received is recognized by adjusting revenue
in the period in which the sale is settled. Settlement dates can range from one to six months after shipment.

Annual Financial Results
Production Costs
Production costs for the year ended December 31, 2023 were  $2,086.1 million an increase from $1,661.4 million in the
prior year. Production costs increases were primarily as a result of the acquisition of Caserones, including $39.9 million fair
value adjustments recorded to re-value concentrate and in-process inventory on hand at the acquisition date that was
subsequently recognized in production costs as the inventory was sold during the year. Production costs also increased at
Candelaria due to higher throughput, inflationary cost increases and unfavourable foreign exchange in the first half of the
year.
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization
Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased from the prior year.
The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Caserones and higher expense recorded at Neves-Corvo in line
with higher zinc production. These increases were partially offset by decreased expense related to a planned mine life
extension at Eagle.

General Exploration and Business Development
Total general exploration and business development expenses of $55.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023
decreased from $144.4 million in the prior year primarily due to development associated with the Josemaria Project being
capitalized from the fourth quarter of 2022. Business development expenses in the year ended December 31, 2023 also
included $5.2 million in transaction costs related to the acquisition of Caserones.
During the current year, exploration costs were spent primarily on in-mine and near-mine targets at the Company’s
operations. Geophysical surveys were conducted at Chapada and Eagle. The processing and interpretation of the Eagle data
is ongoing into 2024. Drilling at Candelaria was divided between Ojos district and Candelaria near-mine. Exploration drilling
at Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan was primarily focused along potential near-mine trends. Drilling at Chapada was focused
between near-mine and the Chapada district. Tender processes for drilling and geophysical surveys were completed at
Caserones and are planned to commence in January 2024.
Finance Income and Costs
Net finance costs of $102.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 were higher than $64.2 million in the prior year
primarily due to higher interest expense related to higher outstanding debt through the year, combined with increased
lease liability interest following the acquisition of Caserones.
Other Income and Expense
Net other income of $104.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased slightly from $98.0 million in the prior
year as realized gains on foreign exchange and diesel derivative contracts that settled during the year were mostly offset by
unrealized losses on unexpired contracts.
  13                                 
Foreign exchange gains and losses recorded in other income primarily resulted from foreign exchange revaluation of
working capital denominated in foreign currencies and changes in fair value of debt and equity instruments supporting
capital funding for the Josemaria Project. Period end exchange rates having a meaningful impact on foreign exchange
recorded at December 31, 2023 were:

Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 was higher than the prior year  primarily due to the deferred tax
on foreign exchange revaluation of non-monetary assets at the Josemaria Project in Argentina of $53.6 million, deferred
mining tax of $40.2 million recorded at Candelaria due to the increase in the mining tax rate and the acquisition of
Caserones. This was offset by overall lower taxable earnings, excluding Candelaria, when compared to the prior period.
In addition to the $40.2 million in deferred mining taxes, the increase of $49.8 million in taxes in Candelaria is also due to
higher taxable earnings in the current period.
Current taxes for the year are higher due to less taxable losses available to offset the taxable income when compared to the
prior period. Included in the deferred taxes are Chapada’s $24.5 million recovery recorded for deferred tax on foreign
exchange revaluation of non-monetary assets (2022 – $20.7 million expense).
Other taxes in 2023 include withholding taxes on accrued interest on intercompany debt and distributions from Eagle mine.

Fourth Quarter Financial Results
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the  quarter was $188.9 million, an increase from $155.2 million in the prior year comparable quarter. The
increase was primarily due to the addition of the Caserones gross profit and partially offset by decreases in gross profit at
Eagle and Zinkgruvan as a result of lower nickel and zinc prices.
Net Earnings
Net earnings for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 were $66.8 million which was lower than the prior year quarter  net
earnings of $145.3 million. Net earnings decreased as a result of higher non-cash income tax expense during the quarter.
Cash Flow from Operations
Cash provided by operating activities for the quarter was $306.1 million, compared to the prior year comparable quarter of
$156.9 million. The increase was largely due to the inclusion of Caserones cash flows as well as higher gross profit overall at
the operations.

Production
Copper production for the year ended December 31, 2023 remained consistent with the prior year as higher throughput
offset lower grades and recoveries. Copper production for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 was higher than the prior
year comparable period, primarily due to increased throughput as a result of reduced ore hardness. Gold production in the
current quarter and full year was higher than the prior year comparable periods, due to higher throughput and grades,
partially offset by lower recoveries. Annual copper and gold production were at the higher end of the most recently-
disclosed production guidance ranges.
Production Costs and Cash Cost
Production costs for the year ended December 31, 2023 were higher than the prior year, largely as a result of higher
throughput, inflationary cost increases and unfavourable foreign exchange in the first half of the year. Production costs for
the quarter ended December 31, 2023 were lower than the prior year comparable period despite higher sales volumes. This
was mainly attributable to lower maintenance costs, favourable diesel and electricity prices and lower labor costs. Cash cost
per pound for the year ended December 31, 2023 was negatively impacted by higher production costs and higher treatment
charges, but remained in the most recently-disclosed cash cost guidance range. Cash cost per pound for the quarter ended
December 31, 2023 improved from the prior year comparable period primarily due to higher production combined with
cost decreases. All-in sustaining cost per pound ("AISC") for the year ended December 31, 2023 was higher than the prior
year due to increased cash cost per pound. AISC per pound for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 was lower than the
prior year comparable period due to decreased cash cost per pound and lower sustaining capital spend. For the twelve
months ended December 31, 2023, approximately 56,000 oz of gold and 888,500 oz of silver were subject to terms of a
streaming agreement from which approximately $425/oz of gold and $4.24/oz of silver will be received.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2023 was lower than the prior year, primarily due to higher production costs,
lower grades and recoveries and unfavourable foreign exchange, partially offset by higher copper prices, net of price
adjustments.

3 Q3 2023 AISC has been adjusted from that presented in the Company's MD&A for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Production
Copper and molybdenum production for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 and from the acquisition closing date of July
13, 2023 were higher than planned, primarily due to increased throughput, and a focus on mining higher-grade phase 5
ahead of shifting to phase 6 in 2024. Both metals achieved the most recently-disclosed production guidance, with
molybdenum exceeding the high end of the range.
Production Costs and Cash Cost
Production costs increased in the quarter ended December 31, 2023 in line with higher sales, and benefited from
favourable foreign exchange and reduced prices for electricity and certain consumables. Annual Production Costs since
acquisition were negatively impacted by $39.9 million of fair value adjustments related to inventory. The fair value
adjustments were recorded to re-value concentrate and in-process inventory on hand at the acquisition date, and were
subsequently recognized in production costs as the inventory was sold. Copper cash cost per pound in the quarter ended
December 31, 2023 and from the acquisition closing date benefited from increased production from higher-grade phase 5.
AISC for the year and quarter ended December 31, 2023 and from the acquisition closing date of July 13, 2023 also
benefited from lower than expected cash cost. Copper cash cost for the period from the acquisition closing date was slightly
below the low end of the most recently-disclosed cash cost guidance range.
Following the acquisition in the second quarter, an ongoing process has been underway to identify and realize synergies
between the Caserones and Candelaria operations. Cost savings resulting from synergies are estimated to be between $20
million to $30 million annually, in areas including supply chain, logistics and support services.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 and from the acquisition closing date of July 13, 2023 benefited from
higher than planned production, favourable copper grades and favourable foreign exchange.

Production
Copper production for the year ended December 31, 2023 was consistent with the prior year as higher recoveries were
offset by lower throughput. Gold production for the year ended December 31, 2023 was lower than the prior year due to
lower grades, throughput and recoveries. Copper and gold production for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 was higher
than the prior year comparable period primarily due to higher grades and recoveries. Annual copper and gold production
were within the most recently-disclosed production guidance ranges.
Production Costs and Cash Cost
Production costs for the year ended December 31, 2023 were lower than the prior year primarily due to lower sales
volumes. Production costs for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 were higher than the prior year comparable quarter
primarily due to higher sales volumes and unfavourable foreign exchange. Copper cash cost per pound for the year ended
December 31, 2023 was higher than the prior year primarily due to lower gold sales, which reduced copper cash cost as by-
product credits. Copper cash cost per pound in the quarter ended December 31, 2023 improved from the prior year
comparable period primarily due to higher production as a result of favourable grades, and contributed to annual copper
cash cost per pound being lower than the most recently-disclosed cash cost guidance range. AISC per pound for the year
and quarter ended December 31, 2023 was lower than the prior year comparable periods primarily due to lower sustaining
capital expenditure. AISC per pound for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 also benefited from lower cash cost per
pound.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2023 was higher than the prior year despite lower sales volumes. This was
primarily due to a non-cash inventory write-down recognised in 2022, and higher realized copper prices, net of price
adjustments.

Production
Nickel and copper production for the year ended December 31, 2023 were lower than the prior year primarily due to lower
grades. In the quarter ended December 31, 2023, nickel production was lower than the prior year comparable period due to
lower grades and recoveries partially offset by higher throughput, and copper production was higher than the prior year
comparable period due to higher throughput. Annual nickel and copper production were within the most recently-disclosed
production guidance ranges.
Production Costs and Cash Cost
Production costs in the year ended December 31, 2023 were lower than the prior year in line with lower sales volumes.
Production costs in the quarter ended December 31, 2023 were lower than the prior year comparable period despite higher
sales volumes as a result of lower royalty expense as a result of lower net smelter revenue. Nickel cash cost per pound in
the year ended December 31, 2023 was higher than the prior year period primarily due to lower grade resulting in lower
production volumes, lower copper by-product credits, and higher repair and maintenance costs. In the quarter ended
December 31, 2023, cash cost per pound was lower than the prior year comparable period due to lower treatment and
refining charges, partially offset by lower production volumes. Annual nickel cash cost per pound was within the most
recently-disclosed cash cost guidance range. AISC for the year ended December 31, 2023 was higher than the prior year due
to increased cash costs per pound and higher sustaining capital expenditures. In the quarter ended December 31, 2023,
AISC was lower than prior year comparable period due to lower cash cost per pound, lower royalty expense and reduced
lease payments.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2023 was lower than the prior year primarily due to lower copper and nickel
production and sales volumes, combined with a decline in nickel price during the year. These decreases were partly offset
by lower depreciation expense as compared to the prior year following a planned extension of the mine life to mid-2029.

Production
Copper production for the year and quarter ended December 31, 2023 was higher than the prior year comparable periods
due to higher throughput, grades and recoveries. Zinc production for the year and quarter ended December 31, 2023 was
higher than the prior year comparable periods due to improved throughput and recoveries driven by the ZEP, following
optimization during the year. Annual copper and zinc production were within the most recently-disclosed production
guidance ranges, with copper being at the lower end of the range and zinc being at the upper end.
Production Costs and Cash Cost
Production costs for the year ended December 31, 2023 were lower than the prior year despite higher sales volumes. This
was due to lower input costs, in particular electricity and diesel rates, partially offset by unfavourable foreign exchange.
Production costs for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 were higher than the prior year primarily owing to the EUR:USD
foreign exchange rate being unusually low in the fourth quarter of 2022. Copper cash cost per pound for the year ended
December 31, 2023 was higher than the prior year due to lower zinc by-product credits and higher treatment and refining
charges. Copper cash cost per pound for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 improved from the prior year comparable
period due to higher copper production. Annual copper cash cost per pound slightly exceeded the most recently-disclosed
cash cost guidance range. AISC for the year ended December 31, 2023 was higher than the prior year due to higher cash
cost and higher sustaining capital expenditures. AISC for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 was lower than the prior
year comparable period due to lower cash costs, sustaining capital expenditures and royalties.
Gross (Loss) Profit
Gross loss for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $23.2 million compared to the prior year gross profit of $2.4 million.
The decrease was a result of lower realized zinc prices, higher treatment and refining charges and higher depreciation
expense in line with increased zinc sales. These decreases were partly offset by lower production costs.
                                    24

Production
Production of zinc in the year and quarter ended December 31, 2023 was consistent with the prior year comparative
periods, but annual production was slightly below the most recently-disclosed production guidance range due to lower
annual throughput and lower grade in the fourth quarter. Lead production in the year and quarter ended December 31,
2023 were lower than the prior year comparative periods, due to lower grades and recoveries. Installation of a sequential
flotation system during the year is achieving improved recoveries, but a longer than anticipated ramp-up limited mill
availability and reduced recoveries, limiting production of both zinc and lead. Copper production in the year ended
December 31, 2023 was higher than the prior year due to higher grades and recoveries, although copper production in the
fourth quarter was reduced by lower grades and recoveries.
Production Costs and Cash Cost
Production costs for the year ended December 31, 2023 were consistent with the prior year and benefited from reduced
electricity prices and favourable foreign exchange, offsetting production limitations during the ramp-up of the sequential
flotation system. Production costs for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 were slightly higher than the prior year
comparable period primarily due to higher throughput and lower grades. Zinc cash cost per pound for the year and quarter
ended December 31, 2023 was higher than the prior year comparable periods, primarily due to lower by-product credits,
but was slightly below the most recently-disclosed annual cash cost guidance range. AISC for the year and quarter ended
December 31, 2023 were higher than the prior year in line with higher cash cost. Higher sustaining capital expenditures,
including the sequential flotation project, also impacted the full year AISC.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2023 was lower than the prior year due to lower realized zinc prices, lower 
lead sales volumes and higher treatment and refining charges.

Josemaria Project (Argentina)
Josemaria Project is located in the San Juan Province of Argentina, approximately 9 km east of the Chile-Argentina border.
Access to site is to be from the city of San Juan, currently the operating centre for a significant portion of the project team.
along public two-lane paved roads and a project-developed and maintained gravel road. The project is developing access to
water, grid power, as well as transportation and logistics wholly within San Juan province.
Project Development
The Company continues to de-risk the Josemaria Project in several areas including evaluating inflation and currency
devaluation impacts, developing optimization studies to enhance mining and production plans, plant throughput,
concentrate transportation, infrastructure, further water drilling, modeling and studies, and exploration drilling.
At Josemaria, the water program continues progressing by advancing the identification of water sources, providing data to
update models, and incorporating sectoral permits. The grinding mills and gearless mill drives ("GMDs") deliveries continue
and will be stored in a San Juan facility for care and maintenance.
Work continues on permitting with the technical review of the tailings dam design; the permit application for the access
road and power line as well as minor permits and environmental impact assessment for road maintenance were completed
and submitted for approval. With the newly elected San Juan province governor having taken office on December 10, 2023
negotiations are set to proceed on the infrastructure agreements for the royalty offset funding of the access road and the
power line capital costs. These agreements are expected to be signed in conjunction with several other provincial and
national agreements.
Additionally, the project team continues with the execution of a series of studies de-risking the project  as well as advancing
financing and execution readiness activities. A study to increase plant throughput  was finalized in the fourth quarter of
2023. Additional studies including concentrate transportation, infrastructure review, mine optimization and equipment
selection, execution plan update, and commercial strategies will be completed in 2024.
Exploration drilling on several of the Cumbre Verde and Portones targets near the Josemaria orebody are advancing
according to plan. An airborne geophysical survey was completed in Q4 2023 at Josemaria and the current drilling program
will continue into 2024.
In 2023, the Company spent $275.9 million in capital expenditure. In 2022, the Company spent $171.1 million which was
recorded as capital expenditure beginning in the fourth quarter of 2022. Prior to capitalization in the fourth quarter of 2022,
project spending was included in general exploration and business development expense on the income statement. Annual
capital spend in 2023 was below the most recently-disclosed guidance estimate of $350.0 million.

The LME inventories for copper, zinc and nickel all increased during 2023, ending the year 88%, 602% and 15%, respectively,
higher than the closing levels of 2022. 
During the first eight months of 2023 the treatment charges (“TC”) and refining charges (“RC”) in the spot market for
copper concentrates between miners and commodity traders increased from an average spot TC during January of $73 per
dry metric tonne ("dmt") of concentrate and a spot RC of $0.073 per lb of payable copper to a spot TC during August 2023
of $83 per dmt of concentrate and a spot RC of $0.083 per lb of payable copper. Starting in September, with supply
constraints from Central and South America and increased smelting capacity in Asia, the spot TC’s and RC’s for copper
concentrates started to decrease from an average spot TC during September 2023 of $80 per dmt of concentrate and a spot
RC of $0.08 per lb of payable copper to a spot TC during December 2023 of $49 per dmt of concentrate and a spot RC of
$0.049 per lb of payable copper.
Chinese smelter buying terms followed the same trend as for commodity traders, starting the year from a spot TC of $84
per dmt of concentrates and a spot RC of $0.084 per lb payable copper and finishing the year at a spot TC of $68 per dmt of
concentrates and a spot RC of $0.068 per lb payable copper.
For copper concentrates, the terms for annual contracts for 2024 were reached in November 2023 at a TC of $80 per dmt
with a RC of $0.08 per payable lb of copper. This represents an improvement compared to the 2023 annual terms at a TC of
$88.00 per dmt of concentrates and a RC of $0.088 per payable lb of copper.
For zinc concentrates, the spot TC, delivered China, decreased steadily during 2023, starting the year at $275 per dmt, flat,
ending at $80 per dmt, flat. The TC for annual contracts for 2023 was settled at $274 per dmt of concentrates, with an
upscale price escalator of 6% from a price basis of $3,000 per mt zinc without de-escalator, and represented an
improvement of approximately $44 per dmt concentrates in favour of the smelters compared to the prior year. The
negotiation of annual terms for 2024 are not expected to be completed until the end of the first quarter of 2024.
The Company’s nickel concentrate production from Eagle is sold under several long-term contracts at terms in-line with
market conditions. Gold production from Chapada, Candelaria and Caserones is sold at terms in-line with market conditions
for copper concentrates. Molybdenum production from Caserones is sold at terms in-line with market conditions for
molybdenum concentrates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $268.8 million and a net debt balance of $1,223.4
million.
Cash generated from operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 amounted to $1,016.6 million compared to $876.9
million in the prior year primarily due to the inclusion of Caserones cash flows as well as reduced income tax installment
payments.
Cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 amounted to $1,674.5 million. Cash used in
investing activities was higher than in the prior year primarily due to the acquisition of Caserones and increased
investments in mineral properties, plant and equipment.
Cash provided by financing activities in the year ended December 31, 2023 amounted to $728.6 million compared to $251.6
million of cash used in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to proceeds from the Term Loan related to financing
for the Caserones mine and an increased amount drawn on the Company's revolving credit facility at December 31, 2023.
In July 2023, the Company obtained a Term Loan of a principal amount of $800.0 million with an additional $400.0 million
accordion option maturing in July 2026. The Term Loan bears interest at an annual rate equal to Term Secured Overnight
Financing Rate "(Term SOFR") + Credit Spread Adjustment ("CSA") + an applicable margin of 1.60% to 2.65%, depending on
the Company’s net leverage ratio. Principal is payable at maturity. The Term Loan is unsecured, save and except for a charge
over certain assets in the USA, and has similar covenants to the Company’s existing $1,750.0 million revolving credit facility.
The Company used proceeds from the Term Loan to refinance the drawdown under the Company’s revolving credit facility
which was used to fund the upfront cash consideration of the Caserones acquisition.
Capital Resources
The Company continues to expect to be able to fund all its contractual commitments with its operating cash flow, cash on
hand and available capital resources.
As at December 31, 2023, the Company had $1,208.6 million of debt and $277.2 million of lease liabilities outstanding.
As at December 31, 2023, the Company has a revolving credit facility of $1,750.0 million with $250.0 million outstanding
(December 31, 2022 - $13.7 million). The credit facility bears interest on drawn funds at rates of Term SOFR + CSA  of 0.10%
+ 1.45% to Term SOFR + 0.10% + 2.50% depending on the Company’s net leverage ratio. The revolving credit facility is
unsecured, save and except for a charge over certain assets in the USA, and is subject to customary covenants. On April 26,
2023, the credit facility was amended extending the term by one year to April 2028.
As at December 31, 2023, the Company also has unsecured commercial paper programs maturing in 2025 through 2028 of
which $116.0 million (€115.0 million) (December 31, 2022 - $26.7 million) were drawn. As at December 31, 2023, certain
subsidiaries of the Company had outstanding unsecured term loans totalling $48.9 million (December 31, 2022 - $127.4
million) and accruing interest at rates ranging from 6.80% to 7.15% per annum with interest payable upon maturity. The
maturity dates range from March to April 2024.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, no shares were purchased under the Company's NCIB (year ended
December 31, 2022 - 10.8 million shares, $59.4 million consideration). In December 2023 the Company renewed its NCIB
which allows the Company to purchase up to 52,538,870 common shares over a twelve month period commencing on
December 11, 2023. As at February 21, 2024 the Company has not purchased any common shares under the renewed NCIB.  
In addition, the Company entered into an automatic share purchase plan with its designated broker to allow for the
purchase of common shares at times which the Company ordinarily would not be active in the market due to trading
blackout periods, insider trading rules or otherwise.
The development of the Josemaria Project requires significant capital commitments from the Company, and additional
funding, beyond debt, may be required to advance the project to completion. Such additional funding may take the form of
a partnership, joint venture, royalty, stream or other arrangement (or a combination thereof) for the Josemaria Project, any
of which would dilute the Company’s existing interest in the Josemaria Project. The Company may also be required or elect
                                    28
to pursue equity financing, which could have a dilutive effect on existing securityholders if shares, options, warrants or
other convertible securities are issued.
The Company’s ability to obtain additional financing for the Josemaria Project in the future will depend, in part, on
prevailing capital market conditions and the Company’s financial performance. Failure to secure adequate financing on a
timely basis may cause the Company to postpone, abandon, reduce or terminate its development activities in respect of the
Josemaria Project and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial
condition and price of common shares.
In addition, the Company’s exploration, acquisition, development and operational activities generally require significant
investment of resources and capital. The Company allocates such resources and capital to support business objectives, and
the availability of required resources and capital is subject to market conditions and the Company’s financial position.
The Company has limited financial resources and there is no assurance that sufficient additional funding or financing will be
available to the Company or its direct and indirect subsidiaries on acceptable terms, or at all, for further exploration or
development of its properties, including the development of the Josemaria Project, or to fulfill its obligations under any
applicable agreements.
The Company may incur substantial debt from time to time to finance working capital, capital expenditures (such as to
advance the Josemaria Project), investments or acquisitions or for other purposes. If the Company does so, the risks related
to the Company’s indebtedness could intensify, including, among other things: substantial interest and capital payments;
increased difficulty in satisfying existing debt obligations; limitations on the ability to obtain additional financing, or
imposed requirements to make non-strategic divestitures; imposed hedging requirements; explicit or implicit restrictions on
the Company’s cash flows for capital investment, dividends or distributions, opportunistic acquisitions and other business
needs; increased vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; interest rate risk exposure as
borrowings may be at variable rates of interest; decreased flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in the industry
in which it competes; reduced competitiveness as compared to less leveraged competitors; and increased cost of additional
borrowing.
The terms of the revolving credit facility and Term Loan agreements require the Company to satisfy various affirmative and
negative covenants and to meet certain financial ratios and tests. These covenants limit, among other things, the
Company’s ability to incur further indebtedness if doing so would cause it to fail to meet certain financial covenants, create
certain liens on assets or engage in certain types of transactions. A failure to comply with these covenants, including a
failure to meet the financial tests or ratios, would likely result in an event of default under the revolving credit facility and
Term Loan and would allow the lenders to restrict future loans or accelerate the debt, which could materially and adversely
affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, its ability to meet payment obligations under
its debt and the price of its common shares. As at December 31, 2023, the Company is in compliance with its debt
covenants.
The Company may issue additional securities to raise funds, to pay for acquisitions or for other reasons. The Company
cannot predict the size of future issuances of securities or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of securities will
have on the market price of common shares. Sales or issuances of substantial numbers of common shares, or the
expectation that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices of the Company’s common shares. In
connection with any issuance of common shares, investors will suffer dilution to their voting power and the Company may
experience dilution in its earnings per share.
The Company is exposed to various counterparty risks including, among others: financial institutions that hold the
Company’s cash; companies that have payables to the Company, including concentrate customers; the Company’s
insurance providers; the Company’s lenders and other banking counterparties; companies that have received deposits from
the Company for the future delivery of equipment; and third parties that have agreed to indemnify the Company upon the
occurrence of certain events.
The Company maintains relationships with various banking partners for its operating activities in the jurisdictions in which
the Company operates. The Company’s access to funds under its credit facilities or other debt arrangements is dependent
on the ability of the financial institutions that are counterparties to the facilities to meet their funding commitments.
Default by financial institutions could require the Company to take measures to conserve cash until the markets stabilize or
until alternative credit or other funding arrangements for the Company’s business needs can be obtained.

Financial Instruments
The Company has entered into derivative contracts consisting of foreign currency forward and option contracts as well as
diesel swap forward contracts. The option contracts consist of put and call contracts in a collar structure. The Company
does not currently utilize financial instruments in hedging metal price or interest rate exposure.
For a detailed discussion of the Company’s financial instruments refer to Note 23 of the Company’s Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Market and Liquidity Risks and Sensitivities
Revenue, cost of goods sold and capital expenditures are affected by certain external factors including fluctuations in metal
prices and changes in exchange rates between the €, the SEK, the CLP, the BRL, the ARS and the $. Foreign exchange
changes may be limited by the cash flow hedges previously described.
Commodity prices, primarily copper, zinc, gold and nickel are key performance drivers and fluctuations in the prices of these
commodities can have a dramatic effect on the results of operations. Prices can fluctuate widely and are affected by
numerous factors beyond the Company’s control. The prices of metals are influenced by supply and demand, exchange
rates, interest rates and interest rate expectations, inflation or deflation and expectations with respect to inflation or
deflation, speculative activities, changes in global economies, and geopolitical, social and other factors. The supply of
metals consists of a combination of new mine production, recycling and existing stocks held by governments, producers and
consumers.
If market prices for metals fall below the Company’s full production costs and remain at such levels for any sustained period
of time, the Company may experience losses and may decide to discontinue mining operations or development of a project
at one or more of its properties. If the prices drop significantly, the economic prospects of the mines and projects in which
the Company has an interest could be significantly reduced or rendered uneconomic, in which case the Company may need
to restate its Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates. Low metal prices will affect the Company’s liquidity, and if
they persist for an extended period of time, the Company may have to look for other sources of cash flow to maintain
liquidity until metal prices recover. A sustained and material impact on the Company’s liquidity may also impact the
Company’s ability to comply with financial covenants under its credit facilities.
Foreign Currency Denominated Production Costs
For the year ended December 31, 2023, Candelaria and Caserones production costs are approximately 55% and 50% CLP
denominated respectively and Chapada production costs are approximately 80% BRL denominated. Production costs for
Eagle, Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan are substantially denominated in their functional currencies.

Non-GAAP and Other Performance Measures
The Company uses certain performance measures in its analysis. These performance measures have no 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
costs.
Production costs
Copper, zinc and nickel 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).
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
Copper, zinc and nickel AISC
and ASIC per pound sold are
useful measures to understand
the full cost of producing and
selling metal at the Company's
mines, and each mine's ability
to generate cash while
sustaining production at current
levels.
AlSC per pound sold
This ratio is calculated by dividing AISC by the sales volume
of the primary metal (copper, zinc, or nickel).
Sustaining capital
expenditures
This supplementary financial measure is defined as cash-
basis expenditures which maintain existing operations and
sustain production levels.
Investment in
mineral properties,
plant and
equipment
Sustaining capital expenditures
provide an understanding of
costs required to maintain
existing production levels.
Expansionary capital
expenditures provide
information on costs required
for future growth of existing or
new assets.
Expansionary capital
expenditures
This non-GAAP measure is defined as cash-basis
expenditures which increase current or future production
capacity, cash flow or earnings potential and are reported
excluding capitalized interest. Where an expenditure both
maintains and expands current operations, classification
would be based on the primary decision for which the
expenditure is being made.
                                    32
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, zinc, 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
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, interest income and finance costs. 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, costs relating to the sinkhole near
Ojos del Salado operations, income from investments in
associates, gains or losses on disposals of subsidiaries,
insurance proceeds and litigation and settlements.
Net earnings (loss)
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 and deferred tax recovery or expense
arising from changes in tax rates. Adjustments exclude
amounts attributable to non-controlling interests.
Net earnings (loss)
attributable to
Lundin Mining
Corporation 
shareholders
In addition to conventional
measures prepared in
accordance with IFRS, adjusted
earnings and adjusted earnings
per share measure the
underlying operating
performance of the Company.
Adjusted earnings
(loss) per share
This ratio is calculated by dividing adjusted net earnings or
loss by the weighted average number of shares
outstanding.
Free cash flow from
operations
Defined as cash flow provided by operating activities,
excluding general exploration and business development
costs and deducting sustaining capital expenditures (as
defined above).
Cash provided by
operating activities
Free cash flow from operations
is indicative of the Company's
ability to generate cash from its
operations after consideration
of required sustaining capital
expenditure necessary to
maintain existing production
levels.
Free cash flow
Defined as cash flow provided by operating activities,
deducting sustaining capital expenditures and
expansionary capital expenditures (both as defined above).
Adjusted operating
cash flow
Defined as cash provided by operating activities, excluding
changes in non-cash working capital items.
Cash provided by
operating activities
These measures are indicative
of the Company's ability to
generate cash from its
operations and remove the
impact of working capital,
which can experience volatility
from period-to-period.
Adjusted operating
cash flow per share
This ratio is calculated by dividing adjusted operating cash
flow by the weighted average number of shares
outstanding.
Net debt
Net debt is defined as total debt and lease liabilities
excluding deferred financing fees, less cash and cash
equivalents. Net debt excluding lease liabilities is defined
as total debt excluding lease liabilities, deferred financing
fees, less cash and cash equivalents.
Debt and lease
liabilities, current
portion of debt and
lease liabilities,
cash and cash
equivalents
These measures are indicative 
of the Company's financial
position.
Net debt excluding
lease liabilities

Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of
the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. These matters were addressed in the
context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and
we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Fair value of mineral properties, plant and equipment
acquired as part of the acquisition of SCM Minera
Lumina Copper Chile (Lumina Copper)
Refer to note 2 – Basis of presentation and summary of
material accounting policies and note 3 – Business
combination to the consolidated financial statements.
The Company acquired 51% of the issued and
outstanding equity of Lumina Copper for total cash
consideration of $797 million and deferred cash
consideration of $150 million on July 13, 2023. The
total fair value of identifiable assets acquired included
$1.3 billion of mineral properties, plant and equipment,
which have primarily been recognized as plant and
equipment. Management applied significant judgment
in estimating the fair value of acquired mineral
properties, plant and equipment. Management used
discounted cash flow models and a market-based
approach to determine the fair value of mine assets,
including the use of significant assumptions such as
future metal prices, production based on estimated
quantities of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources,
production and capital expenditures, pricing of in-situ
mineral resources implied by the market value of
selected comparable transactions involving the sale of
similar companies and mineral properties (in-situ
multiples) and discount rate. In determining the fair
value of plant and equipment, management primarily
uses the depreciated replacement cost approach. 
Our approach to addressing the matter included the
following procedures, among others:
Tested how management estimated the fair value
of the acquired mineral properties, plant and
equipment, which included the following:
Read the purchase agreement.
Tested the underlying data used by
management in the discounted cash flow
model, market-based valuation, and
depreciated replacement cost valuations.
Evaluated the reasonableness of significant
assumptions such as future metal prices,
production and capital expenditures by (i)
comparing future metal prices to external
market and industry data; (ii) comparing
production and capital expenditures against
current and past performance; and (iii)
assessing whether these assumptions were
consistent with evidence obtained in other
areas of the audit.
The work of management’s experts was used in
performing the procedures to evaluate the
reasonableness of the production based on
estimated quantities of Mineral Reserves and
Mineral Resources and production and capital
expenditures. As a basis for using this work, the
competence, capabilities and objectivity of
management’s experts were evaluated, the
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Management’s estimates of production based on
quantities of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources
are based on information compiled by qualified persons
(management’s experts). 
We considered this a key audit matter due to the
significant auditor effort, subjectivity, and significant
judgment in performing procedures to test significant
assumptions used by management in determining the
fair value of acquired mineral properties, plant and
equipment. Professionals with specialized skill and
knowledge in the field of valuation assisted us in
performing our procedures. 
work performed was understood and the
appropriateness of the work as audit evidence
was evaluated. The procedures performed also
included evaluation of the methods and
assumptions used by management’s experts,
tests of the data used by management’s
experts and an evaluation of their findings.
Professionals with specialized skill and
knowledge in the field of valuation assisted in
assessing the following: (i) appropriateness of
the discounted cash flow model and the
reasonability of the discount rate used within
the model; (ii) appropriateness of the
depreciated replacement cost approach and
the reasonability of the resulting fair values
assigned to plant and equipment; and (iii)
reasonability of the in-situ multiples.
Goodwill impairment assessment
Refer to note 2 – Basis of presentation and summary of
material accounting policies and note 9 – Goodwill to
the consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s total carrying amount of goodwill as at
December 31, 2023 was $241 million. The Company’s
goodwill is required to be tested annually for
impairment or when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the related carrying
amount may not be recoverable. When the recoverable
amount of the cash-generating unit (CGU) is less than
the carrying amount of that CGU, an impairment loss is
recognized.
The recoverable amount of each CGU was based on a
fair value less cost of disposal method using a
discounted cash flow model and market-based
approach.  Management applied significant judgment in
estimating the recoverable amount of each CGU.
Significant assumptions used by management to
determine the recoverable amounts include future
metal prices, production based on estimated
Our approach to addressing the matter included the
following procedures, among others:
Tested how management estimated the
recoverable amount of the CGUs, which included
the following:
Tested the underlying data used by
management in the discounted cash flow
models and market-based valuation.
Evaluated the reasonableness of significant
assumptions such as future metal prices,
foreign exchange rates and production and
capital expenditures by (i) comparing future
metal prices and foreign exchange rates with
external market and industry data; (ii)
comparing future production and capital
expenditures against current and past
performance; and (iii) assessing whether these
assumptions were consistent with evidence
obtained in other areas of the audit.
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
quantities of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources,
production and capital expenditures, foreign exchange
rates, in-situ multiples and discount rates. The
recoverable amount of each CGU determined by
management exceeded its carrying value, and as a
result, no impairment loss was recorded.
Management’s estimates of production based on
quantities of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources
are based on information compiled by qualified persons
(management’s experts). 
We considered this a key audit matter due to the
significant auditor effort, subjectivity, and significant
judgment in performing procedures to test significant
assumptions used by management in determining the
fair value of the CGUs. Professionals with specialized
skill and knowledge in the field of valuation assisted us
in performing our procedures. 
The work of management’s experts was used in
performing the procedures to evaluate the
reasonableness of the estimates associated
with the production based on quantities of
Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources. As a
basis for using this work, the competence,
capabilities and objectivity of management’s
experts were evaluated, the work performed
was understood and the appropriateness of the
work as audit evidence was evaluated. The
procedures performed also included evaluation
of the methods and assumptions used by
management’s experts, tests of the data used
by management’s experts and an evaluation of
their findings.
Professionals with specialized skill and
knowledge in the field of valuation assisted in
assessing the following: (i) appropriateness of
the discounted cash flow models and market-
based approach to determine the recoverable
amounts of the CGUs; and (ii) the
reasonableness of the discount rates and in-
situ multiples.
Other information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Management’s
Discussion and Analysis.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express
any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated
financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in
accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary
to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or
has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when
it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of
these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional
judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on
the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may
cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material
uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future
events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business
activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible
for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we
identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that
may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of
most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the
key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be
communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to
outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Mark Patterson.

1.NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Lundin Mining Corporation is a diversified Canadian base metals mining company primarily producing copper, zinc,
gold, nickel and molybdenum. The Company owns 80% of the Candelaria and Ojos del Salado mining complex
("Candelaria") and 51% of the Caserones copper-molybdenum mine (“Caserones”), each of which are located in Chile.
The Company’s wholly-owned operating assets include the Chapada mine located in Brazil, the Eagle mine located in
the United States of America (“USA”), the Neves-Corvo mine located in Portugal, and the Zinkgruvan mine located in
Sweden. In addition, the Company owns the large scale copper-gold Josemaria project ("Josemaria Project"), located in
Argentina.
The Company’s common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) in Canada and the Nasdaq Stockholm
Exchange in Sweden. The Company is incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act. The Company is
domiciled in Canada and its principal place of business is 885 West Georgia Street, Suite 2000, Vancouver, British
Columbia, Canada.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(i) Basis of presentation and measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS Accounting Standards") and which
the Canadian Accounting Standards Board has approved for incorporation into Part 1 of the CPA Canada
Handbook – Accounting.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial
instruments which have been measured at fair value.
The Company's presentation currency is United States (“US”) dollars. Reference herein of $ or USD is to US
dollars, C$ or CAD is to Canadian dollars, SEK is to Swedish krona, € refers to the Euro, CLP refers to the Chilean
peso, BRL refers to the Brazilian real, and ARS refers to the Argentine peso.
Balance sheet items are classified as current if receipt or payment is due within twelve months. Otherwise, they
are presented as non-current.
These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company for issue on
February 21, 2024.
(ii)Material accounting policies
                                                                 
The Company has consistently applied the accounting policies to all the years presented. The material accounting
policies applied in these consolidated financial statements are set out below.
(a) Basis of consolidation
The financial statements consist of the consolidation of the financial statements of the Company and its
subsidiaries.
                                                                                   
Subsidiaries are entities over which the Company has control, including the power to govern the financial
and operating policies in order to obtain benefits from their activities. The existence and effect of potential
voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the
Company controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is
obtained by the Company and are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Notes to consolidated financial statements
For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
(Tabular amounts in thousands of US dollars, except for shares and per share amounts)
- 6 -
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the results of the subsidiaries and associates to bring their
accounting policies in line with those used by the Company. Intra-group transactions, balances, income and
expenses are eliminated on consolidation.
For non wholly-owned controlled subsidiaries, the net assets attributable to outside equity shareholders are
presented as non-controlling interests in the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet. Net earnings
for the period that are attributable to non-controlling interests are calculated based on the ownership of
the minority shareholders in the subsidiary.
(b) Translation of foreign currencies
The functional currency of each entity within the Company is the currency of the primary economic
environment in which it operates. The Company’s presentation currency is US dollars.
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded using the exchange
rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated
in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items
that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date
of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated at the
rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Foreign currency translation differences on
deferred foreign tax liabilities and assets are reported in deferred tax expense/recovery in the consolidated
statement of earnings.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary
items, are recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings in the period in which they arise. Exchange
differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in the
consolidated statement of earnings. However, exchange differences arising on the translation of certain
non-monetary items are recognized as a separate component of equity.
For the purpose of presenting the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the
Company’s foreign operations are translated into US dollars, which is the presentation currency of the
group, at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expenses are
translated at the average exchange rates for the period where these approximate the rates on the dates of
transactions.
On disposal of a foreign operation, the historical, cumulative amount of exchange differences recognized as
a separate component of equity is reclassified and recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings.
(c) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on deposit with banks and highly liquid short-term interest-
bearing investments with a term to maturity at the date of purchase of 90 days or less which are subject to
an insignificant risk of change in value.
(d) Restricted funds
Restricted funds include reclamation funds and cash on deposit that have been pledged for reclamation and
closure activities which are not available for immediate disbursement.
(e) Inventories
Ore and concentrate stockpiles and cathode inventory are valued at the lower of production cost and net
realizable value (“NRV”). Production costs include costs of materials and labour related directly to mining
and processing activities, including production phase stripping costs, depreciation and amortization of
LUNDIN MINING CORPORATION

mineral property, plant and equipment directly involved in the related mining and production process,
amortization of any stripping costs previously capitalized and directly attributable overhead costs.
Dump leach pad inventory represents ore that has been mined and placed on leach pads where a solution is
applied to the surface of the heap to dissolve the copper and by-products. The resulting solution is further
processed in a plant to recover the copper. The cost of dump leach inventory is derived from current mining
and leaching costs and is removed at the weighted average cost per recoverable pound ("lb") of copper on
the leach pads as lbs of copper are recovered. Estimates of recoverable copper on the dump leach are
calculated based on the quantities of ore placed on the leach pads (measured tonnes added to the leach
pads), the grade of ore placed on the leach pads (based on assay data), and an estimated recovery
percentage (based on estimated recovery assumptions from the block model). The nature of the leaching
process inherently limits the ability to precisely monitor inventory levels. As a result, estimates are refined
based on actual results and engineering studies over time. The final recovery of copper from the dump leach
will not be known until the leaching process is concluded at the end of the mine life. Ore on the dump leach
that is not expected to be recovered within the next twelve months is classified as non-current.
Materials and supplies inventories are valued at the lower of average cost less allowances for obsolescence
and NRV.
If the carrying value of inventories exceeds NRV, a write-down is recognized. The write-down may be
reversed in a subsequent period if the circumstances which caused the write-down no longer exist.
(f) Mineral properties
Mineral properties are carried at cost, less accumulated depletion and any accumulated impairment
charges. Expenditures of mineral properties include:
i. Acquisition costs which consist of payments for property rights and leases, including the
estimated fair value of exploration properties acquired as part of a business combination or the
acquisition of a group of assets.
ii. Exploration, evaluation and project investigation costs incurred on an area of interest once a
determination has been made that a property has economically recoverable Mineral Resources
and Mineral Reserves (“R&R”) and there is a reasonable expectation that costs can be
recovered by future exploitation or sale of the property. Exploration, evaluation and project
investigation expenditures made prior to a determination that a property has economically
recoverable R&R are expensed as incurred.
iii. Deferred stripping costs which represent the costs incurred to remove overburden and other
waste materials to access ore in an open pit mine. Stripping costs incurred prior to the
production phase of the mine are capitalized and included as part of the carrying value of the
mineral property. During the production phase, stripping costs which provide probable future
economic benefits, identifiable improved access to the ore body and which can be measured
reliably are capitalized to mineral properties. Capitalized stripping costs are amortized using a
unit-of-production basis over the Proven and Probable Mineral Reserve to which they relate.
iv. Development costs incurred in an area of interest, once management has determined the
technical feasibility and commercial viability of a project, the project presents an appropriate
rate of return on investment, and the Board of Directors has demonstrated commitment to
advance the project. When additional development expenditures are made on a property after
commencement of production, the expenditure is capitalized as mineral property when it is
probable that additional economic benefit will be derived from future operations. Development
costs are amortized using a unit-of-production basis over the Proven and Probable Mineral
Reserve to which they relate.

v. Interest and financing costs on debt or other liabilities, including interest expense on deferred
revenue, that are directly attributed to the acquisition, construction and development of a
qualifying asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed as incurred.
vi. Easement costs incurred to support access to the Company's operating sites and the Josemaria
Project.
Incidental pre-production expenditures, if any, are recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings.
(g) Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment
charges. For production plant and equipment, depreciation is recorded on a units-of-production basis.
Depreciation on all other plant and equipment is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful
life of the asset or over the estimated remaining life of the mine, if shorter. Residual values and useful lives
are reviewed annually. Gains and losses on disposals are calculated as proceeds received less the carrying
amount and are recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings.
Useful lives are as follows:
Number of years
Buildings
8-20
Plant and machinery
3-20
Equipment
3-8
(h) Intangible assets
Separately acquired intangible assets are initially measured at cost which comprises of its purchase price
and any directly attributable costs of preparing the asset for its intended use. The Company depreciates
intangible assets with finite useful lives on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset.
For intangibles with an indefinite useful life, no amortization is calculated.
(i) Impairment and impairment reversals
At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether there is an indication that an asset or
group of assets within a cash generating unit (“CGU”) may be impaired. When impairment indicators exist,
the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset or CGU and compares it against the asset or
CGU’s carrying amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less cost of disposal
(“FVLCD”) and the asset or CGU’s value in use (“VIU”). If the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount,
an impairment loss is recorded in the consolidated statement of earnings during the period. If either FVLCD
or VIU exceeds the asset or CGU’s carrying amount, the asset or CGU is not impaired, and the Company does
not estimate the other amount.
In assessing VIU, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to
the CGU for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. The cash flows are based on
best estimates of expected future cash flows from the continued use of the asset or the CGU and its
eventual disposal.
FVLCD is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants, which is best evidenced if obtained from an active market or
binding sale agreement. Where neither exists, the fair value is based partly on a discounted cash flow
projections model. Costs of disposal, other than those that have been recognized as liabilities, are deducted
in measuring FVLCD.

- 9 -
Reversals of impairment are assessed at each reporting period where there is an indication that an
impairment loss recognized previously may no longer exist or has decreased. If an impairment reversal
indicator exists, the recoverable amount is calculated. If the recoverable amount exceeds the carrying
amount, the carrying value of the CGU is increased to the recoverable amount net of depreciation. The
increased carrying amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no
impairment loss been recognized for the CGU in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized
as a gain in the consolidated statement of earnings in the period it is determined.
(j) Business combinations and goodwill
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting whereby all
identifiable assets and liabilities are recorded at their fair values as at the date of acquisition. Any excess
purchase price over the aggregate fair value of net assets is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is identified and
allocated to CGUs, or groups of CGUs, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition.
Goodwill is not amortized. Any excess of the aggregate fair value of net assets over the purchase price is
recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings.
A CGU to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment at least annually or when events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may not be recoverable. For goodwill
arising on an acquisition in a financial year, the CGU to which the goodwill has been allocated is tested for
impairment before the end of that financial year.
When the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than the carrying amount of that CGU, the impairment loss
is allocated to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to that CGU first, and then to the other
assets of that CGU on a pro-rata basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the CGU. Any impairment loss
for goodwill is recognized directly in the consolidated statement of earnings. An impairment loss for
goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.
On disposal of a subsidiary, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the gain
or loss on disposal.
(k) Leases
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains a lease. A contract is,
or contains a lease, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of
time in exchange for consideration. 
The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that
have a lease term of 12 months or less, and leases of low-value assets. For these leases, the Company
recognizes the lease payments as an expense in the consolidated statement of earnings on a straight-line
basis over the term of the lease.
The Company recognizes a lease liability and a right-of-use asset at the lease commencement date.
The lease liability is initially measured as the present value of future lease payments discounted using the
interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, each operation’s applicable
incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate which the operation would have to
pay to borrow, over a similar term and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of
similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
-fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable;
-variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or           
rate as at the commencement date;
-amounts expected to be payable by the Company under residual value guarantees;
LUNDIN MINING CORPORATION
Notes to consolidated financial statements
For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
(Tabular amounts in thousands of US dollars, except for shares and per share amounts)
- 10 -
-the exercise price of a purchase option if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option;
and
-payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the Company expects to exercise an option to
terminate the lease.
The lease liability is subsequently measured by:
-increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability;
-reducing the carrying amount to reflect lease payments made; and
-remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications.
Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement of the
lease liability.
The lease liability is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an
index or rate, if there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a
residual value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase,
extension or termination option.
Each lease payment is allocated between the lease liability and finance cost. The finance cost is recorded as
an expense in the consolidated statement of earnings over the lease period to produce a constant periodic
rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the following:
-the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;
-any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received;
-any initial direct costs incurred by the Company; and
-an estimate of costs to be incurred by the Company in dismantling and removing the underlying
asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition
required by the terms and conditions of the lease, unless those costs are incurred to produce
inventories.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and any
accumulated impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. It is depreciated
in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy for plant and equipment, from the commencement
date to the earlier of the end of its useful life or the end of the lease term.
On the consolidated balance sheet, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are reported in mineral
properties, plant and equipment and debt and lease liabilities, respectively.
(l) Provision for pension obligations
The Company’s Zinkgruvan mine has an unfunded defined benefit pension plan based on employee
pensionable remuneration and length of service. The cost of the defined benefit pension plan is determined
annually by independent actuaries. The actuarial valuation is based on the projected benefit method pro-
rated for service which incorporates management’s best estimate of future salary levels, retirement ages of
employees and other actuarial factors. Actuarial gains and losses are recorded in other comprehensive
income.
Payments to defined contribution plans are expensed when employees render service entitling them to the
contribution.
(m) Reclamation and other closure provisions
The Company incurs reclamation and other closure costs related to its mining properties such as facility
decommissioning and dismantling, end of mine life severance, site restoration and ongoing environmental
LUNDIN MINING CORPORATION
Notes to consolidated financial statements
For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
(Tabular amounts in thousands of US dollars, except for shares and per share amounts)
- 11 -
monitoring. These costs are a normal consequence of mining and are dependent on the requirements of the
Company’s legal and constructive obligations, as well as any other commitments made to stakeholders. The
majority of these expenditures will be incurred at the end of the life of mine and are dependent upon a
number of factors such as the life and nature of the asset, the operating license conditions and the
environment in which the mine operates.
The future obligations for mine closure activities are estimated by the Company using mine closure plans or
other similar studies which outline the activities to be undertaken to meet regulatory and internal
requirements. Since the obligations are dependent on the laws and regulations of the countries in which the
mines operate, they are regularly evaluated by management and external experts. Costs included in the
obligations encompass all reclamation and other closure activities expected to occur progressively over the
life of the operation at the time of closure and post-closure in connection with disturbances as at the
reporting date.
Obligations may change as a result of amendments in laws and regulations relating to environmental
protection and/or other legislation affecting resource companies. Included in the estimated obligations are
a number of significant assumptions made by management in determining closure provisions. Accordingly,
closure provisions are more uncertain the further into the future mine closure activities are expected to be
carried out.
The Company records the present value of its reclamation and other closure provisions as a liability with a
corresponding increase in the carrying value of the related asset. The provision is discounted to its net
present value using a country specific, current market, pre-tax discount rate. The unwinding of the discount,
referred to as an accretion expense, is included in finance costs in the consolidated statement of earnings
and results in an increase in the carrying amount of the liability. Reclamation obligations settled in the year
are offset against the corresponding liability. Unplanned reclamation costs are reported as either part of the
cost of inventory or recognized as a cost in the consolidated statement of earnings, if they relate to either
production activities or a closed site.
The capitalized cost of the reclamation and other closure activities is recognized in the mineral property and
plant & equipment and depreciated on a unit-of-production basis over the expected mine life of the
operation to which it relates. Depreciation costs are included in the consolidated statement of earnings as
part of cost of goods sold.
Changes in obligations resulting from revisions to the timing or amount of expenditures, discount rate or
foreign exchange rate are recognized as an increase or decrease in the reclamation and other closure
provision liability, and a corresponding change in the carrying amount of the related assets.
(n) Revenue recognition
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when a customer obtains control of the promised
asset and the Company satisfies its performance obligation. Revenue is allocated to each performance
obligation. The Company considers the terms of the contract in determining the transaction price. The
transaction price is based upon the amount the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for the
transferring of promised goods. The Company earns revenue from contracts with customers related to its
concentrate and copper cathode sales, and its copper, gold and silver streaming arrangements.
The Company satisfies its performance obligations for its concentrate and copper cathode sales per
specified contract terms which are generally upon shipment or delivery. Revenue from concentrate and
copper cathode sales is recorded based upon forward market prices of the expected final sales price date.
The Company typically receives payment shortly after vessel arrival at its destination port.
Deferred revenue arises from up-front payments received by the Company or obligations acquired in
consideration for future commitments as specified in its various streaming arrangements. The accounting
for streaming arrangements is dependent on the facts and terms of each of the arrangements. Revenue

from streaming arrangements is recognized when the customer obtains control of the copper, gold and/or
silver metal and the Company has satisfied its performance obligations.
The Company identified significant financing components related to its streaming arrangements resulting
from a difference in the timing of the up-front consideration received and delivery of the promised goods.
Interest expense on deferred revenue is recognized in finance costs, or in mineral properties, plant and
equipment if directly attributable to the acquisition, construction and development of a qualifying asset.
The interest rate is determined based on the rate implicit in each streaming agreement at the date of
inception or acquisition.
The initial consideration received from the streaming arrangements is considered variable, subject to
changes in the total copper, gold and silver volumes to be delivered. Changes to variable consideration are
reflected in revenue in the consolidated statement of earnings.
(o) Share-based compensation
The Company grants share-based awards in the form of share options and share units to certain employees
in exchange for the provision of services. The share options and share units are equity-settled awards. The
Company determines the fair value of the awards on the date of grant. This fair value is charged to the
consolidated statement of earnings using a graded vesting attribution method over the vesting period of the
awards, with a corresponding credit to contributed surplus. When the share options or share units are
exercised, the applicable amounts of contributed surplus are transferred to share capital. At the end of the
reporting period, the Company updates its estimate of the number of awards that are expected to vest and
adjusts the total expense to be recognized over the vesting period. The Company also grants share-based
awards to non-employee Directors in the form of deferred share units (“DSUs”) in exchange for the
provision of services. DSUs are liability awards settled in cash and measured at the quoted market price at
the grant date. The corresponding liability is adjusted for changes in fair value at each subsequent reporting
date until the awards are settled. The fair value of the DSUs are expensed at the grant date and subsequent
changes to fair value are charged to the consolidated statement of earnings.
(p) Current and deferred income taxes
Income tax expense represents the sum of current and deferred tax. Current taxes payable is based on
taxable earnings for the year. Taxable earnings may differ from earnings before income tax as reported in
the consolidated statement of earnings because it may exclude items of income or expense that are taxable
or deductible in other years and it may further exclude items of income or expense that are never taxable or
deductible. The Company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the assets and
liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on either the same taxable
entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balance on a net basis.
Deferred tax is recognized on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the
financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable earnings. Deferred
tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are
recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which
deductible temporary differences or tax loss carryforwards can be utilized. Such assets and liabilities are not
recognized if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a
business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable earnings
nor the accounting earnings. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences arising
on investments in subsidiaries and investments in associates, except where the Company is able to control
the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse
in the foreseeable future. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date
LUNDIN MINING CORPORATION
Notes to consolidated financial statements
For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
(Tabular amounts in thousands of US dollars, except for shares and per share amounts)
- 13 -
and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable earnings will be available to
allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is
settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively
enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is charged or credited to earnings, except when it relates to
items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is reflected in equity.
(q) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during each reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated assuming the proceeds from the
exercise of “in-the-money” share-based arrangements are used to purchase common shares at the average
market price during the period.
(r) Accounting for debt and equity investments
As part of the capital funding process for ongoing activities at the Josemaria Project, the Company purchases
debt and equity instruments via a third-party investment broker. The instruments are held for a pre-
determined period and then sold. The Company only purchases equity instruments with high trading
volumes and low volatilities. The instruments are designated as held-for-trading, and as such all changes in
the fair value of the underlying instruments are recognized through the consolidated statement of earnings.
Upon receipt of the transferred equity instruments, or in the case of bonds the sale, by the local investment
broker, the Company realizes an immediate foreign exchange impact. This foreign exchange impact is
incurred directly as a result of holding debt and equity instruments with the intention of trading, and as such
the foreign exchange impact is also recognized through the consolidated statement of earnings in Other
income.
(s) Financial instruments
Financial instruments are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet on the trade date, the date on
which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. The Company
classifies its financial instruments in the following categories:
Financial Assets at Amortized Cost
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely
payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. The Company intends to hold these
receivables until cash flows are collected. Receivables are recognized initially at fair value, net of any
transaction costs incurred and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest
method. The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on a financial asset that is
measured at amortized cost.
Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss (“FVTPL”)
Financial assets measured at FVTPL are assets which do not qualify as financial assets at amortized cost or
those not designated in hedge relationships.
Provisionally priced trade receivables are measured at FVTPL as some or all of the cash flows are dependent
on commodity prices. These receivables are initially measured at their transaction price. Subsequent
changes to provisionally priced trade receivables are recorded in the consolidated statement of earnings as
revenue from other sources. 
LUNDIN MINING CORPORATION
Notes to consolidated financial statements
For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
(Tabular amounts in thousands of US dollars, except for shares and per share amounts)
- 14 -
Marketable securities, equity investments, and derivative assets not designated in hedge relationships are
classified as FVTPL. These financial assets are initially recognized at their fair value with changes to fair
values recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings.
Financial Liabilities at Amortized Cost
Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, unless they are
required to be measured at FVTPL, or the Company has opted to measure them at FVTPL. Long-term debt is
recognized initially at fair value, net of any transaction costs incurred, and subsequently at amortized cost
using the effective interest method.
Financial Liabilities at FVTPL
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are liabilities which include embedded derivatives and cannot be classified as
amortized cost or derivative liabilities not designated in hedge relationships. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are
initially recognized at fair value with changes to fair values recognized in the consolidated statement of
earnings.
The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial
assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all of the associated risks and
rewards of ownership. Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in the consolidated
statement of earnings.
The Company derecognizes financial liabilities only when its obligations under the financial liabilities are
discharged, cancelled or expelled. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability
derecognized and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities
assumed, is recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings.
The Company may enter into derivative instruments to mitigate exposures to commodity price and currency
exchange rate fluctuations, among other exposures. Unless the derivative instruments qualify for hedge
accounting, and management undertakes appropriate steps to designate them as such, they are classified as
financial assets or liabilities at FVTPL and recorded at their fair value with realized and unrealized gains or
losses arising from changes in the fair value recorded in the consolidated statement of earnings in the
period they occur. Fair values for derivative instruments are determined using valuation techniques. The
valuations use assumptions based on prevailing market conditions on the reporting date.
(iii)New standards and interpretations adopted January 1, 2023
Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 - Disclosure of Accounting Policies
In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, and IFRS Practice
Statement 2. The amendments to IAS 1 require an entity to disclose its material accounting policies instead of its
significant accounting policies. The amendments include clarification on how an entity can determine material
accounting policies by applying the 'four-step materiality process' described in IFRS Practice Statement 2. The
amendments to IAS 1 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The Company
adopted the amendments effective January 1, 2023, with no material impact to the consolidated financial
statements for 2023.
Amendments to IAS 12 - Deferred Tax Related to Assets and Liabilities Arising from a Single Transaction
In May 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12, Income Taxes. The amendments to IAS 12 narrow the scope
of the initial recognition exemption so that it can no longer be applied to transactions which give rise to equal
amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences. The Company is to recognize a deferred tax asset and
deferred tax liability for temporary differences arising on initial recognition for certain transactions, including
leases and reclamation provisions. The amendments to IAS 12 are effective for annual reporting periods

beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the amendments
effective January 1, 2023, with no material impact to the consolidated financial statements for 2023.
Amendments to IAS 12 - International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model Rules
In May 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12, Income Taxes. The amendments provide an exception to the
requirements regarding the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities related to the Pillar Two global
minimum tax rules. The Company has applied the exception to recognizing and disclosing information about
deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes whilst it evaluates the impact of these
income taxes on its consolidated financial statements.
Additionally, the amendments to IAS 12 require disclosure of the Company's current tax expense or income
related to Pillar Two income taxes and disclosure of known or reasonably estimable information regarding the
Company's exposure to Pillar Two income taxes. The disclosure amendments to IAS 12 are effective for annual
reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The Company adopted the disclosure amendments
effective January 1, 2023, with no material impact to the consolidated financial statements for 2023.
(iv)Critical accounting estimates and judgements in applying the entity’s accounting policies
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical
accounting estimates and judgements. These estimates and judgements are based on management’s best
knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances taking into account previous experience, but actual results
may differ materially from the amounts included in the financial statements.
Areas where critical accounting estimates and judgements have the most significant effect on the amounts
recognized in the consolidated financial statements include:
Depreciation, depletion and amortization of mineral properties, plant and equipment - Mineral properties,
plant and equipment comprise a large component of the Company’s assets and as such, the depreciation,
depletion and amortization of these assets have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements. Upon
commencement of commercial production, the Company depletes mineral property over the life of the mine
based on the depletion of the mine’s Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves. In the case of mining equipment or
other assets, if the useful life of the asset is shorter than the life of the mine, the asset is amortized over its
expected useful life.
Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves are determined based on a professional evaluation using accepted
international standards for the estimation of Mineral Reserves. The assessment involves geological and
geophysical studies, economic data and the reliance on a number of assumptions. The estimates of the Mineral
Reserves may change based on additional knowledge gained subsequent to the initial assessment. This may
include additional data available from continuing exploration, results from the reconciliation of actual mining
production data against the original Mineral Reserve estimates, or the impact of economic factors such as
changes in the price of commodities or the cost of components of production.
A change in the original estimate of Mineral Reserves would result in a change in the rate of depreciation,
depletion and amortization of the related mineral assets. The effect of a change in the estimates of Mineral
Reserves would have a relatively greater effect on the amortization of the current mining operations at Eagle
because of the relatively short mine life of this operation. A short mine life results in a high rate of amortization
and depreciation, and mineral assets may exist at these sites that have a useful life in excess of the revised life of
the related mine.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers – To determine the transaction price for streaming agreements, the
Company made estimates with respect to future production of the life of mine and R&R quantities. These
estimates are subject to variability and may have an impact on the timing and amount of revenue recognized and
may result in cumulative adjustments.

The Company exercised judgment in the identification of performance obligations under its contracts and the
allocation of the transaction price thereto. Specifically, the Company considers the performance obligations to be
the delivery of gold and silver in concentrate to offtakers and copper to streamers. 
Valuation of long-term inventory - The Company carries its long-term inventory at the lower of production cost
and NRV. If the carrying value exceeds the net realizable amount, a write-down is required. The write-down may
be reversed in a subsequent period if the circumstances which caused it no longer exist.
The Company reviews NRV at least annually. In particular, for the NRV of long-term inventory, the Company
makes significant estimates in its use of a discounted NRV model related to future production plans, forecasted
commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, R&R quantities, future capital and production costs to complete,
estimates of recoverable copper in leach pads, and the discount rate. These estimates are subject to various risks
and uncertainties and may have an effect on the NRV estimate and the carrying value of the long-term inventory.
Valuation of mineral properties - The Company carries its mineral properties at cost less accumulated depletion
and any accumulated provision for impairment. The Company expenses exploration costs which are related to
specific projects until technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are
demonstrable. The costs of each property and related capitalized development expenditures are depleted over
the economic life of the property on a unit‐of‐production basis. Costs are charged to the consolidated statement
of earnings when a property is abandoned or when there is a recognized impairment in value.
The Company undertakes a review of the carrying values of mineral properties and related expenditures
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying values may exceed their estimated net
recoverable amounts determined by reference to estimated future operating results and discounted net cash
flows. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying value of those assets is not recoverable. Where a
previous impairment has been recorded, the Company analyzes any reverse impairment indicators. Impairment
reversals are recognized in subsequent periods when there has been a change in the estimates used to determine
the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. In undertaking this review,
management of the Company is required to make significant estimates of, amongst other things, future
production and sale volumes, metal prices, foreign exchange rates, R&R quantities, future capital and production
costs and reclamation costs to the end of the mine’s life. These estimates are subject to various risks and
uncertainties which may ultimately have an effect on the expected recoverability of the carrying values of the
mineral properties and related expenditures.
The Company, from time to time, acquires exploration and development properties. When a number of
properties are acquired in a portfolio, the Company must make a determination of the fair value attributable to
each of the properties within the total portfolio. When the Company conducts further exploration on acquired
properties, it may determine that certain of the properties do not support the fair values applied at the time of
acquisition. If such a determination is made, the property is written down which could have a material effect on
the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of earnings.
Goodwill - The amount by which the purchase price of a business acquisition exceeds the fair value of identifiable
assets and liabilities acquired is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is allocated to the CGUs acquired based on the
assessment of which CGU would be expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition. Estimates of
recoverable value may be impacted by changes in future metal prices, foreign exchange rates, production based
on estimated quantities of R&R, production and capital expenditures, pricing of in-situ mineral resources implied
by the market value of selected comparable transactions involving the sale of similar companies and mineral
properties, discount rates, and other factors that may be different from those used in determining fair value.
Changes in estimates could have a material impact on the carrying value of the goodwill. Management's
estimates of production based on quantities of R&R are based on information compiled by qualified persons
(management's experts).
Reclamation and other closure provisions - The Company incurs reclamation and other closure costs related to
its mining properties. The future obligations for mine closure activities are estimated by the Company using mine
closure plans or other similar studies which outline the activities to be undertaken to meet regulatory and
LUNDIN MINING CORPORATION
Notes to consolidated financial statements

(Tabular amounts in thousands of US dollars, except for shares and per share amounts)
- 17 -
internal requirements. Since the obligations are dependent on the laws and regulations of the countries in which
the mines operate, they are regularly reviewed by management and external experts, and could change as a
result of amendments to the laws and regulations. Included in the estimated obligations are a number of
significant assumptions made by management in determining closure provisions. Accordingly, closure provisions
are more uncertain the further into the future the mine closure activities are to be carried out.
The Company’s policy for recording reclamation and other closure provisions is to establish provisions for future
mine closure costs based on the present value of the future cash flows required to satisfy the obligations. This
provision is updated as the estimate for future closure costs change. The amount of the present value of the
provision is added to the cost of the related mineral property and plant & equipment and depreciated over the
life of the mine. The provision is accreted to its future value over the life of mine through a charge to finance
costs.
Income taxes - Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial
statement carrying values of assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases (“temporary differences”)
and losses carried forward.
The determination of the ability of the Company to utilize tax loss carry‐forwards and deductible temporary
differences to offset deferred tax liabilities requires management to exercise judgment and make certain
assumptions about the future performance of the Company. Management is required to assess whether it is
“probable” that the Company will benefit from these prior losses and other deductible temporary differences.
Changes in economic conditions, metal prices and other factors could result in revisions to the estimates of the
benefits to be realized or the timing of utilization of the losses.
Assessment of impairment and reverse impairment indicators - Management applies significant judgement in
assessing whether indicators of impairment or reversal of impairment exist for a CGU which would necessitate
impairment testing. Internal and external factors used by management to determine whether indicators exist
include, but are not limited to, significant changes in the use of the asset, commodity prices, foreign exchange
rates, the Company's market capitalization, capital and production forecasts, R&R quantities, and discount rates.
Contingent liabilities - Contingent liabilities are possible obligations that arise from past events which will be
confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of future events. These contingencies are not recognized in the
consolidated financial statements when the obligation is not probable or if the obligation cannot be measured
reliably. The Company exercises significant judgment when determining the probability of the future outcome
and with regard to any required disclosure of contingencies, and measuring the liability is a significant estimate.
Caserones acquisition - The Company's acquisition of fifty-one percent (51%) of the issued and outstanding
equity of SCM Minera Lumina Copper Chile ("Lumina Copper") (Note 3), which owns Caserones, requires each
identified asset and liability to be measured at its acquisition date fair value. The excess, if any, of the fair value
consideration over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized in
goodwill. The determination of fair values required management to make assumptions and estimates about
future events and judgements such as future metal prices, production based on estimated quantities of R&R,
production and capital expenditures, pricing of in-situ mineral resources implied by the market value of selected
comparable transactions involving the sale of similar companies and mineral properties, and discount rates.
Changes in these assumptions or estimates could affect the fair values assigned to assets acquired, liabilities
assumed, and goodwill in the purchase price allocation. Management's estimates of production based on
quantities of R&R are based on information compiled by qualified persons (management's experts).

3.BUSINESS COMBINATION
On July 13, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of fifty-one percent (51%) of the issued and outstanding
equity of Lumina Copper, which owns the Caserones copper-molybdenum mine located in Chile, from JX Metals
Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries ("Caserones Acquisition").
The total cash consideration paid after adjustments was $796.6 million, which was funded from the Company's
revolving credit facility. Remaining deferred cash consideration of $150.0 million will be payable in installments as
follows: $50.0 million to be paid in five installments of $10.0 million on the anniversary of the transaction closing date
in each of 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, and 2028; and $100 million shall be paid on the anniversary of the closing date in
2029. The Company also has the right to acquire up to an additional 19% interest in Lumina Copper for $350.0 million
over a five-year period commencing on the first anniversary of the date of closing ("Caserones Purchase Option").
The purchase price is as follows:
Cash consideration
$796,580
Fair value of additional deferred consideration
112,851
Total consideration for 51% of Caserones
$909,431
The fair value of the deferred consideration was calculated by discounting the required future payments using a credit
adjusted risk free rate that appropriately reflects the credit risk associated with the future payments. The current
portion of this liability has been recorded in Trade and Other Payables and the non-current portion has been recorded
in Deferred consideration and other long-term liabilities.

a. The Company assigned a fair value of $47.0 million at acquisition to its right to acquire up to an additional
19% interest in Lumina Copper for $350.0 million. The fair value of the Caserones purchase option was
determined using the arithmetic average approximation methodology which assumes a risk-free interest rate
of 3.93%, expected copper price volatility of 22.8%, and a term of 5 years.
b. The Company acquired approximately $4.3 billion in total tax loss carryforward balances associated with
Caserones. The Company has recognized deferred tax assets to the extent that the Company expects to
realize sufficient taxable profit in the foreseeable future.
Management used a discounted cash flow model (net present value of expected future cash flows) and market based
approach to determine the fair value of the mine assets. Management used significant assumptions in the model such
as future metal prices, production based on estimated quantities of R&R, production and capital expenditures, pricing
of in-situ mineral resources implied by the market value of selected comparable transactions involving the sale of
similar companies and mineral properties, and discount rate. Average copper price assumptions between 2023 and
2027 used in the valuation was $3.80 per pound of copper with $3.58 per pound being used as the long-term
assumption. In determining the fair value of plant and equipment, management primarily used the depreciated
replacement cost approach and used the sales comparison approach for certain mobile plant items where secondary
market evidence was available.
Short-term inventory was valued based on assumed market price less cost to complete and a reasonable profit margin.
Long-term inventory was valued on the same basis, but also considers a multi-year recovery period for the estimated
payable metal contained in the dump leach.
The Company used the proportionate method in measuring non-controlling interests at the acquisition date. No
goodwill has been recognized on the transaction.
Acquisition related costs of $5.2 million are recorded in the consolidated statement of earnings as a business
development cost (Note 19).
Revenue and net earnings contributed by Caserones since acquisition and included in the consolidated statement of
earnings were $601.8 million and $67.1 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2023, $39.9 million of
fair value adjustments to metal inventories acquired were included in Cost of goods sold (production costs).
If Caserones had been consolidated from January 1, 2023, the consolidated statement of earnings for the year ended
December 31, 2023 would show pro forma consolidated revenue of approximately $4,168.5 million and consolidated
net earnings of approximately $438.1 million.

The Company performs an impairment assessment annually, or more frequently if there are impairment indicators, for
the carrying amount of its CGUs where goodwill is allocated.
The recoverable value of a CGU is determined using the FVLCD method applied by using a discounted cash flow model
based on life-of-mine financial plans, and a market-based approach. Significant assumptions used by management to
LUNDIN MINING CORPORATION
Notes to consolidated financial statements
For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
(Tabular amounts in thousands of US dollars, except for shares and per share amounts)
- 24 -
determine the recoverable amount include future metal prices, production based on estimated quantities of R&R,
production and capital expenditures, foreign exchange rates, pricing of in-situ mineral resources implied by the market
value of selected comparable transactions involving the sale of similar companies and mineral properties, and discount
rates.
For the 2023 assessment, future metal prices and foreign exchange rates used in the discounted cash flow models are
based on market consensus estimates observed during the fourth quarter of 2023. The valuation of recoverable
amount is most sensitive to changes in metal prices, exchange rates, discount rates and pricing of in-situ mineral
resources.
Production costs and capital expenditures included in the discounted cash flow models are based on operating plans
which consider past and estimated future performance.
Inputs utilized in the discounted cash flow models were based on level 3 fair value measurements (Note 23), which
were not based on observable market data. The R&R were based on the Company’s last published estimate dated
December 31, 2023. Incorporated in the FVLCD are fair value estimates developed by the Company for mineral
resources not captured in the cash flow projections model. These estimates are valued using third-party market
information, which includes pricing of in-situ mineral resources implied by the market value of selected comparable
transactions involving the sale of similar companies and mineral properties.
Chapada
For the Chapada CGU impairment review, the Company used a FVLCD model (level 3 measurement). For the years
ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company determined that the recoverable amount of the Chapada CGU was
higher than its carrying value, and therefore no impairment was recognized.
Sensitivity analysis was performed on the cash flow model for Chapada. At December 31, 2023, impairment would
result from a decrease in the long-term copper price to approximately $3.70/lb, with all other inputs unchanged.

ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company determined that the recoverable amount of the Neves-Corvo CGU
was higher than its carrying value, and therefore no impairment was recognized.
Sensitivity analysis was performed on the cash flow model for Neves-Corvo. Changes in key inputs such as metal prices
(+/-5%) and pricing of in-situ mineral resources (+/-5%) did not have a material impact on the result of the Company’s
goodwill impairment assessment.

Consideration received under the Company’s gold, silver and copper streaming agreements is deemed to be variable
and can be subject to cumulative adjustments when the contractual volume to be delivered changes. As a result of
changes to the Company’s R&R, adjustments have been made to the deferred revenue liability for 2022 and 2023
which were recognized through revenue and finance costs.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized finance costs at a weighted average rate of 5.5%
(2022 - 5.5%) on the deferred revenue balances.
a)  Candelaria
The Company entered into a stream agreement with Franco-Nevada Corporation (“FN”), whereby the Company
has agreed to sell 68% of all the gold and silver contained in production from Candelaria until 720,000 oz of gold
and 12 million oz of silver have been delivered. Thereafter, FN will be entitled to purchase 40% of the gold and
silver production from Candelaria. The Company received an up-front payment of $648 million which is being
recognized as gold and silver are delivered to FN under the contract.
For each ounce of gold and silver delivered, FN makes payments equal to the lesser of the prevailing market prices
and approximately $425/oz of gold and $4.24/oz of silver (2022 - $420/oz of gold and $4.20/oz of silver), subject to
a 1% annual inflationary adjustment. In 2023, approximately 56,000 oz of gold and 889,000 oz of silver (2022 -
approximately 55,000 oz of gold and 983,000 oz of silver) were subject to the terms of the streaming agreement.
The deferred revenue balance as at December 31, 2023 at Candelaria is $409.7 million (December 31, 2022 -
$435.5 million).
bChapada mine
The Company assumed the following streaming agreements with Sandstorm Gold Ltd. (“Sandstorm”) and Altius
Minerals Corporation (“Altius”) when the Chapada mine was acquired:
Sandstorm is entitled to purchase the lesser of 3.9 million pounds (“Mlbs”) or 4.2% of the payable copper produced

14.SHARE CAPITAL
(a) Authorized and issued shares
Authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of voting common shares with no par value and one
special non-voting share with no par value. As at December 31, 2023, there were 773,667,789 fully paid voting
common shares issued (2022 - 770,746,531 shares). The special non-voting share is not issued and outstanding.
(b) Share units
The Company has a Share Unit Plan (“SU Plan”) which provides for share unit awards (“SUs”) to be granted by the
Board of Directors to certain employees of the Company. The maximum number of SUs that are issuable under
the SU Plan is 14,000,000. An SU is a unit representing the right to receive one common share (subject to
adjustments) issued from treasury.
The number and terms of SUs awarded will be determined by the Board of Directors based on the closing market
price on the TSX of the Company’s common shares on the date of the grant. The Company uses the fair value
method of accounting for the recording of SU grants to employees and officers.
i) Time-vesting SUs
During 2023, the Company granted 795,903 time-vesting SUs to employees and officers that expire in 2026.
These SUs vest three years from the grant date with the number of SUs being fixed, and with no vesting
conditions other than service. The fair value of the time-vesting SUs are based on the market value of the

Notes to consolidated financial statements
For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
(Tabular amounts in thousands of US dollars, except for shares and per share amounts)
- 32 -
shares on the date of the grant and an estimated forfeiture rate of approximately 11% (2022 - 11%). The
weighted average fair value per time-vesting SU granted during 2023 was C$8.23 (2022 - C$11.38). The
Company incurred share-based compensation related expenditures of $2.9 million for 2023 (2022 - $3.1
million) with a corresponding credit to contributed surplus related to time-vesting SUs. As at December 31,
2023, there was $3.8 million (2022 - $2.6 million ) of unamortized stock-based compensation expense
related to time-vesting SUs.
ii) Performance-vesting SUs
During 2023, the Company granted 584,900 performance-vesting SUs to officers that expire in 2026. These
SUs vest three years from the grant date with the number of SUs being variable, which can range from zero
to 1,169,800 contingent upon achieving applicable performance vesting conditions. The fair value of the
performance-vesting SUs are based on a Monte Carlo model and an estimated forfeiture rate of
approximately 11% (2022 - 11%). The weighted average fair value per performance-vesting SU granted
during 2023 was C$7.94 (2022 - C$13.52). The Company incurred share-based compensation related
expenditures of $1.3 million for 2023 (2022 - $0.3 million) with a corresponding credit to contributed
surplus related to performance-vesting SUs. As at December 31, 2023, there was $2.7 million (2022 - $0.7
million) of unamortized stock-based compensation expense related to performance-vesting SUs.
During 2023, 722,822 common shares (2022 - 1,222,797) were issued as a result of SUs being vested.
(c) Stock options
The Company’s Stock Option Plan provides for stock option awards to be granted by the Board of Directors to
certain employees of the Company. The term of any stock options granted under the Stock Option Plan may not
exceed seven years from the date of grant. The maximum number of stock options that are issuable under the
Stock Option Plan is 42,000,000. The vesting requirements are established by the Board of Directors.
The Company uses the fair value method of accounting for the recording of stock options. Under this method, the
Company incurred share-based compensation related expenditures of $3.6 million for 2023 (2022 - $4.4 million)
with a corresponding credit to contributed surplus.
During 2023, the Company granted 1,918,733 stock options to employees and officers that expire in 2030. The
stock options vest over three years from the grant date. The Black-Scholes option pricing model used to
determine the fair value of the stock options at the date of the grant assumed a dividend of $0.36/share, risk-free
interest rate of 3.09% to 3.96% (2022 - 1.59% to 2.87%), expected life of 4.4 years (2022 - 4.4 years) and expected
price volatility of 47% to 48% (2022 - 47%). Volatility is determined using the historical daily volatility over the
expected life of the options. A forfeiture rate of approximately 11% was applied (2022 - 11%). The weighted
average fair value per stock option granted during 2023 was C$2.51 (2022 - C$3.47). As at December 31, 2023,
there was $1.9 million of unamortized stock-based compensation expense (2022 - $2.1 million) related to stock
options.
During 2023, 2,044,059 common shares (2022 - 3,202,107) were issued as a result of stock options being
exercised.

DSUs will accumulate and will be settled in cash at the time of each eligible Director’s departure or at the
termination of the DSU Plan. A director will receive a cash payment equal to the market value of such DSUs plus
accrued dividend equivalents as of the settlement date. At December 31, 2023, there were no DSUs outstanding

a)Included in the prior period non-taxable items of $37.4 million in 2022 is the impact of the tax depletion
allowance at Eagle of $17.2 million.
b)The new mining royalty law in Chile, which includes a 1% ad-valorem tax on sales, was enacted in the third
quarter of 2023 and will become effective January 1, 2024 for Candelaria and 2028 for Caserones when its tax
stability agreement expires.  In addition to the ad-valorem tax, both operations in Chile are expected to pay
mining tax of approximately 8% - 15% on net mining income (currently approximately 5%).  The maximum
effective tax rate for the combined mining royalty, corporate income tax and final taxes in Chile is set at 46.5%. 
Candelaria has accrued $40.2 million in deferred tax expense in 2023 (2022 - $0.0 million).  Caserones continues
to be taxed under the Specific Mining Tax regime until the end of 2027. 
c)  Adjustments in respect of prior years includes temporary difference true-ups of $6.4 million at Candelaria (2022-
$0.0 million), $12.9 million deferred tax recovery at Josemaria (2022 - $0.0 million),  $2.8 million at Chapada
(2022 - $7.4 million) and $2.2 million at Eagle (2022 - $1.9 million).
d)The revaluation of non-monetary assets in Brazil and Argentina and the translation of deferred tax liabilities from
their respective local currency to USD resulted in a net  deferred tax recovery of $24.5 million in Brazil (2022 - net
deferred tax recovery of  $20.7 million) and a net deferred tax expense of $53.6 million in Argentina (2022 - $0.1
million). 
e)In 2023, Neves-Corvo recorded $1.6 million in investment tax credits (2022 - $6.5 million).
Global Minimum Top-up Tax - Pillar Two
The Company is within the scope of OECD Pillar Two model rules.  Among the jurisdictions where the Company
operates, Pillar Two legislation has been enacted in Sweden and Netherlands and is expected to be enacted or

substantially enacted in Canada and Portugal in 2024. The legislation is applicable to the Company’s fiscal year
beginning on January 1, 2024 and consequently, the Company has no current tax exposure as at the reporting date.
The Company applies the exception to recognizing and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities
as provided by the amendments to IAS 12 in May 2023. The Company also accounts for any top up taxes as a current
tax when it is incurred. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of the Pillar Two legislation for when it
comes into effect, but the quantitative impact of the enacted or substantively enacted legislation is not yet reasonably
estimable.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for tax loss carry-forwards and other temporary differences to the extent that the
realization of the related tax benefit through future taxable profits is probable. The Company determined that it is
probable that sufficient future taxable profits will be available to allow the benefit of the deferred tax assets to be
utilized. 
The Company did not recognize deferred tax assets of $19.0 million (2022 - $21.6 million) arising from the provision for
reclamation at Eagle and $1,116.9 million (2022 - $6.5 million) in respect of losses amounting to $4,141.0 million (2022
- $24.6 million) that can be carried forward against future taxable income.
Caserones has approximately $4.2 billion in net operating losses which can be applied to future taxable income over
the mine life. A deferred tax asset has been recognized to the extent that the Company expects to realize sufficient
taxable profit in the foreseeable future.
The deferred mining tax liability in Candelaria has been revalued using the enacted rates under the new mining royalty
in Chile, resulting in a net additional deferred mining tax expense of $39.4 million (2022 -$0.0 million). 
Included in the balance sheet and equity adjustments is a $189.2 million deferred tax asset accounted through the
balance sheet on the Caserones purchase price adjustment.

23.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.
During 2022, the Company entered into EUR, BRL, CLP, SEK and CAD foreign currency options and forward contracts
intended to limit the foreign exchange exposure of its forecasted foreign currency denominated after-tax attributable
operating and capital expenditures. The foreign exchange 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 earnings.
During 2023, the Company entered into SEK forward contracts in the total amount of SEK 845.7 million at prices
ranging from USD:SEK 10.76 to USD:SEK 10.92, expiring in 2024 and 2025. Additionally, the Company entered into zero
cost collar contracts in the total amounts of SEK 396 million, CLP 303 billion and BRL 391 million with collar ranges of
SEK 10.35 to SEK 11.15, CLP 800 to CLP 1,035, and BRL 5.00 to BRL 6.12, respectively. The contracts expire throughout

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
negative pricing adjustments of $95.4 million in revenue during the year ended December 31, 2023 (2022 - $89.0
million negative pricing adjustments).

(Tabular amounts in thousands of US dollars, except for shares and per share amounts)
- 47 -
Foreign currency and diesel forward swap 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 purchase option – The fair value of the Caserones purchase option is determined using a valuation
model that incorporates such factors as the mine's discounted cash flow projections, metal price volatility, expiry
date, and risk-free interest rate.
Chapada derivative liability – The fair value of this derivative is determined using a valuation model that
incorporates such factors as metal prices, metal price volatility, expiry date, and risk-free interest rate.
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.
24. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
a)The Company has capital commitments of $461.3 million on various initiatives, of which $265.9 million is
expected to be paid during 2024.
b)The Chapada acquisition included contingent consideration of up to $125.0 million payable over five years from
the acquisition date if certain gold price thresholds are met. The Company paid $25.0 million tranches in each of
2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. The maximum remaining contingent consideration is $25.0 million over the next
year as follows:
a $10.0 million payment if the gold price averages at least $1,350/oz in the annual period,
a $10.0 million payment if the gold price averages at least $1,400/oz in the annual period,
a $5.0 million payment if the gold price averages at least $1,450/oz in the annual period.
As part of the Chapada acquisition, the Company has been provided with an indemnity for any tax liabilities that
may arise for periods prior to the date of the acquisition. For identified tax claims existing at the date of
acquisition, the Company has agreed to be liable for up to the first $21.0 million (BRL 101.5 million). While it is
uncertain, no material liabilities have been accrued as the Company believes material payment is not likely due to
the nature of the tax claims.
c)The following summarizes total tax exposure under two contradictory assessments received from the Chilean
Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). Given that the assessments relate to the same issue, the Company’s potential
exposure is expected to be limited to one of the below scenarios:
i)For taxation years 2014 through 2019, the IRS issued tax assessments denying tax deductions related to
interest expenses arising from an intercompany debt. The total of all assessments amounts to $265.3 million
($145.6 million in taxes plus interest and penalties of $119.7 million). If the Company loses the dispute, it
may be liable for an additional $69.8 million in accrued interest as of December 2023. All tax refunds arising
from the tax deductions related to the intercompany debt have been received up to December 2023. The
Company maintains its position that the assessments are inconsistent with Chilean tax law and, therefore,
without merit.
ii)On the same intercompany debt for taxation years 2016 through 2019, the Company has also received
assessments from the IRS seeking additional withholding taxes, including interest and penalties, on interest

payments made. The total of all assessments amounts to $246.6 million ($114.2 million in taxes plus interest
and penalties of $132.4 million). The Company may be liable for an additional $70.3 million in accrued
interest as of December 2023, should it lose the tax dispute. The Company believes it has applied the
correct withholding tax rate according to the Canada-Chile tax treaty.
The Company has filed claims against the tax assessments related to taxation years 2014 to 2019. No tax expense
has been accrued for these assessments as the Company believes its original filing position is in compliance with
tax regulations and intends to vigorously defend its position. The Company does not expect further assessments
to be issued related to this tax matter as the intercompany loan was amended in 2020 with an interest rate
accepted by the IRS.
d)In July 2022, a sinkhole was detected near the Company's Ojos del Salado operations in Chile. In October 2022,
the Company received an infraction notice from the environmental regulators covering four alleged violations of
its environmental permit for the Alcaparrosa underground mine, which forms part of the Company's Ojos del
Salado operations. The Company has responded to the infraction notice and is working with the regulatory
agencies to resolve this matter.
e)The Company may be involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including the
actions described below. The potential amount of the liability with respect to such legal proceedings is not
expected to materially affect the Company’s financial position. The Company believes the claims to be without
merit and the loss, if any, cannot be determined at this time for all contingencies. The Company has accordingly
not accrued any amounts related to the litigations below (unless otherwise noted). The Company intends to
vigorously defend these claims.
Two proposed class actions were filed against the Company and certain officers and directors. The first, in the
province of Ontario, on December 7, 2017 (Markowich v. Lundin Mining Corporation et al) and a second
overlapping action in the province of Québec on January 18, 2018 (Prévreau v. Lundin Mining Corporation et al).
Both proposed class actions seek damages of $132.3 million (C$175.0 million) and punitive damages of
$7.6 million (C$10.0 million) and assert various statutory and other claims related to, among other things, alleged
misrepresentations and/or failure to make timely disclosure of material information about the Company’s
business and operations and, in particular, the operations of the Candelaria Mine and a rock slide at the
Candelaria Mine on October 31, 2017. The proposed Ontario class action asserts claims on behalf of a putative
class comprising persons who acquired securities of the Company between October 25, 2017, and November 29,
2017, whereas the proposed Québec class action asserts claims on behalf of only such persons who are resident
or domiciled in Québec.  In June 2018, counsel to the plaintiffs in the Québec action agreed to a stay (i.e.,
indefinite cessation) of that proceeding in light of the Ontario action. On August 30, 2018, the Québec Superior
Court, on consent of the parties, stayed the Québec action indefinitely. On September 2, 2020, the plaintiff in the
Ontario action served motion materials for leave and certification with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. On
January 6, 2022, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice denied the leave application and declined the motion for
certification. On May 24, 2023, the Ontario Court of Appeal granted the plaintiff’s appeal of this decision. In
August 2023, the defendants filed an application for leave to appeal the Ontario Court of Appeal decision to the
Supreme Court of Canada.  A decision on the Supreme Court of Canada leave application is expected in the first
half of 2024.

27.MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISK
The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk, foreign
exchange risk, commodity price risk and interest rate risk.
(a)Credit risk
The exposure to credit risk arises through the failure of a customer or another third party to meet its contractual
obligations to the Company. The Company believes that its maximum exposure to credit risk as at December 31,
2023 is the carrying value of its trade and other receivables.
Concentrate and cathodes produced at the Company’s Candelaria, Caserones, Chapada, Eagle, Neves-Corvo and
Zinkgruvan mines is sold to a number of strategic customers with whom the Company has established long-term
relationships. Limited amounts of concentrate are occasionally sold to commodity traders, under prevailing
market conditions. Payment terms vary and provisional payments are normally received shortly after vessel
arrival, in accordance with industry practice, with final settlement up to six months following the date of
shipment. Sales to commodity traders are made against secure payment terms such as a letter of credit, pre-
payment or payment against scanned shipping documents. Credit worthiness of customers is reviewed by the
Company on an annual basis or more frequently, if warranted, and those not meeting certain credit criteria may
be asked to make 100% provisional payment up-front or provide an acceptable payment instrument such as a
letter of credit. The failure of any of the Company’s strategic customers could have a material adverse effect on
the Company’s financial position. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company has five customers that
individually account for more than 10% of the Company’s total sales. The Company's largest customers represent
approximately 18%, 16%, 15%, 13% and 12% of total sales (2022 - four customers representing 22%, 18%, 16%
and 12% of total sales).
With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Company, which comprise cash and cash
equivalents, restricted funds, marketable securities and equity investments, and foreign currency contracts, the
Company’s exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to
the carrying amount of these instruments. The Company limits material counterparty credit risk on these assets
by dealing with financial institutions with long-term credit ratings with Standard & Poor’s of at least A, or the
equivalent thereof with Moody’s, or those which have been otherwise approved.

- 51 -
(b)Liquidity risk
The Company has in place a planning and forecasting process to help determine the funds required to support
the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis. The Company ensures that there is sufficient
available capital to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from
operations and its holdings of cash and cash equivalents. The Company has a revolving credit facility in place to
assist with meeting its cash flow needs as required (Note 11).
The maturities of the Company’s non-current liabilities are disclosed in Note 11 and Note 24. All current liabilities
are due to be settled within one year.
(c)Foreign exchange risk
The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currencies,
primarily with respect to CLP, €, BRL, SEK and ARS.
The Company’s risk management strategy is to manage cash flow risk related to foreign denominated cash flows.
The Company is exposed to currency risk related to changes in rates of exchange between foreign denominated
balances and the functional currencies of the Company’s principal operating subsidiaries. The Company’s
revenues are denominated in US dollars, while most of the Company’s operating and capital expenditures are
denominated in the local currencies. The Company may, at its discretion, use forward or derivative contracts to
manage its exposure to foreign currencies, the use of which is subject to appropriate approval procedures. A
significant change in the currency exchange rates between the US dollar and foreign currencies could have a
material effect on the Company’s net earnings and other comprehensive income.
The following table illustrates the estimated impact a 10% US dollar change against the €, CLP, SEK, and BRL
would have on pre-tax earnings as a result of translating the Company's foreign denominated financial
instruments as at December 31, 2023 before the impact of derivative contracts:
Currency

Effect on Pre-Tax Earnings

SEK
+10%
$3,423
-10%
$(3,423)
BRL
+10%
$(3,225)
-10%
$3,225
The impact of a US dollar change against the € and SEK by 10% at December 31, 2023 would have a $37.5 million
(2022 - $124.4 million) impact on OCI.
(d)Commodity price risk
The Company is subject to price risk associated with fluctuations in the market prices for metals. A significant
change in metal prices could have a material effect on the Company’s revenues.
The Company may, at its discretion, use forward or derivative contracts to manage its exposure to changes in
commodity prices, the use of which is subject to appropriate approval procedures. The Company is also subject to
price risk on the final settlement of its provisionally priced trade receivables.

Nickel
1,263t
$7.46/lb
+/-10%
+/-2.1
(e)Interest rate risk
The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk arises from the interest rate impact on its cash and cash
equivalents, restricted funds, and debt facilities. Certain of the Company's debt facilities include a variable rate
component such as references to Term SOFR on various term loans and credit facilities, as well as applicable
credit spreads depending on the Company's net leverage ratio. The interest rates on the Company’s revolving
credit facility and non-revolving term loan reference Term SOFR, and the Somincor commercial paper programs
and equipment line of credit reference EURIBOR.
As at December 31, 2023, holding all other variables constant, a 1% change in the interest rate would result in an
approximate $4.2 million change in interest expense on an annualized basis (2022 - $0.4 million).
28.MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL RISK
The Company’s objectives when managing its capital include ensuring a sufficient combination of positive operating
cash flows and debt and equity financing in order to meet its ongoing capital development and exploration programs
in a way that maximizes the shareholder return given the assumed risks of its operations while, at the same time,
safeguarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company considers the following items as
capital: excess cash balances, share capital reserve and debt and lease liabilities.
Through the ongoing management of its capital, the Company will modify the structure of its capital based on
changing economic conditions in the jurisdictions in which it operates. In doing so, the Company may issue new shares
or debt, buy back issued shares, or pay off any outstanding debt. The Company continuously monitors its capital
structure to determine the appropriateness of paying dividends.
Planning, including life-of-mine plans, annual budgeting and controls over major investment decisions are the primary
tools used to manage the Company’s capital. Updates are made as necessary to both capital expenditure and
operational budgets in order to adapt to changes in risk factors of proposed expenditure programs and market
conditions within the mining industry.
