VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(CCNMatthews - Jan. 25, 2007) - Lundin Mining Corporation (“Lundin Mining” or “the Company”) (TSX:LUN)(AMEX:LMC)(SSE:LUMI) reports that effective March 31, 2007 Mr. Colin K. Benner, Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lundin Mining will be stepping down as Chief Executive Officer, remaining as Vice-Chairman and a Director of the Company. Mr. Karl-Axel Waplan, currently President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, will remain as President and replace Mr. Benner as Chief Executive Officer. In addition, Mr. Joao Carrelo, presently Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Spain and Portugal Operations will take on the role of Chief Operating Officer of Lundin Mining.

Mr. Lukas Lundin, Chairman of the Board and founder of the Company commented, “Mr. Benner’s proposal and decision to step down as CEO was primarily to facilitate the Company’s chief executives to be headquartered together at the Company’s main operational office in Stockholm. While we support his decision, we have asked that he stay on the Board and as Vice Chairman to assist in taking the Company to the next level as a senior global mining house. He will work with me to further grow Lundin Mining and assist in other mining opportunities in the Lundin Group of Companies. Colin is a tremendous asset to Lundin Mining and we look forward to his continued active role in the Company.”

Mr. Benner commented, “We have three major new zinc projects underway and a potential fourth (the Aljustrel and Neves-Corvo Phase II projects in Portugal, the Ozernoe project in Russia and the possible development of another project in Sweden). These projects, coupled with our four operating mines in Portugal, Sweden and Ireland represent an ongoing major undertaking and it is important, from a practical point of view, that senior management work in close proximity on a daily basis with each other, to the operations and projects, and importantly to our employees.”

Lundin Mining is a rapidly growing, mid-tier mining company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and mining of base metal deposits internationally. In addition to the Neves-Corvo mine in Portugal, the Company operates the Zinkgruvan and Storliden mines in Sweden and the Galmoy mine in Ireland.
