On August 21, 2006 Lundin Mining announced that the Company intends to enter into a merger with the Canadian mining group EuroZinc. The merger is a significant step in Lundin Mining’s aggressive growth strategy. The Company has in the past three years grown rapidly and now operates three mines, and has also developed a highly promising portfolio of exploration projects and investments, not least the Russian Ozernoe-project which was announced this summer. The combined company will continue to be named Lundin Mining Corporation.

The merger with EuroZinc takes Lundin Mining to the next level on the global mining scene, and two Portuguese copper-zinc-lead-silver mines will be added to the asset portfolio, Neves-Corvo and Aljustrel. Aljustrel is currently not in production but the plan is to re-start the mine during the second half of 2007. The combined annual production volumes following the merger of the two companies are estimated to be 205,000 tonnes of zinc metal and 90,000 tonnes of copper metal from 2008. Lundin Mining will have a strong balance sheet and a solid financial position.

The proposed merger between Lundin Mining and EuroZinc is conditional upon the approval of the holders of 50.1% of Lundin Mining shares voted at the Lundin Mining special meeting and the holders of 66.7% of EuroZinc shares voted at the EuroZinc special meeting. Special shareholders’ meetings of both companies will be held on October 19, 2006 and the transaction is expected to close by late October. The shares of Lundin Mining will be listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the Stockholm Stock Exchange and also on the American Stock Exchange.

The Board of Lundin Mining recommends unanimously the proposed merger and the other matters to be voted upon at the Lundin Mining special meeting, and the largest shareholder in the Company, the Lundin Family interests, have pledged their full support.

Due to the timing of the proposed merger the Board has decided to change the date for the release of Lundin Mining’s interim report for the period January - September 2006 from October 26, 2006 to November 9, 2006
