TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwire - May 14, 2010) - Lundin Mining Corporation (TSX:LUN)(OMX:LUMI) (“Lundin Mining” or the “Company”) today reported that Neves-Corvo management and the union representing Neves-Corvo employees have reached agreement on a new pay-for-performance based incentive that has been endorsed by the workforce.

Commenting on the agreement, Mr. João Carrêlo, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer said, “A new arrangement is to be implemented from June 1, 2010, that provides additional payment to employees based on actual improvements in productivity thus benefiting shareholders, the workforce and other stakeholders.

“The agreement settles all outstanding industrial issues and offers the potential to enhance the long-term competitiveness of the mine, ensuring its sustainability and its position as a major contributor to the regional and national economy.

“Our focus now is to work with the employees to achieve the productivity improvements that we believe are attainable. In addition, every effort will be directed to recovering production lost during the recent industrial action,” Mr. Carrêlo said.

The new productivity arrangement provides additional payment to employees for actual increases in productivity, based on a measure of tonnes-per-employee, with the baseline being set at 2009 levels. The recent revision to production guidance at Neves-Corvo will remain as a precautionary measure and will be reviewed as part of the outlook presented along with Q2 results in July 2010.
