TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwire - Sept. 2, 2010) - Lundin Mining Corporation (“Lundin Mining”) (TSX:LUN)(OMX:LUMI) today announced that it has executed an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) that increases the amount of its revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) to US$300 million from $225 million, reduces its costs of borrowing and extends the term of the Facility to September 2013 from May 2012.

The amendments to the Facility were fully supported by the syndicate of lenders all of whom increased their individual commitment levels. The syndicate of lenders, which comprises Scotia Capital, the Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Book Runner, Bank of Montreal, WestLB AG- New York Branch, ING Bank N.V., Export Development Canada and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB, collectively approved commitments to the Company well in excess of the $300 million requested.

Marie Inkster, CFO, commented, “Our objectives in negotiating an amendment to the facility were to achieve a moderate increase in the total credit available, to achieve pricing improvements, to extend to a full three year term and to allow for additional flexibility for future growth projects. These objectives have all been met with the Amended Credit Agreement and we appreciate the support of the syndicate of lenders.

“The increased size of the Facility provides additional financial flexibility while still allowing us to maintain a conservative balance sheet,” Ms Inkster said.

Except for a letter of credit in the amount of 80 million Swedish Kronor (approximately US$11million), no advances are currently outstanding under the Facility and Lundin Mining has approximately US$150 million of cash on hand.
