Lundin Mining is a Canadian mining and exploration company with a focus
in Europe. The Company is one of the world's leading producers of zinc.
The main asset of Lundin Mining is the Zinkgruvan mine, located about
200 kilometers southwest of Stockholm, Sweden. The mine has been
producing zinc, lead and silver on a continuous basis since 1857.
Zinkgruvan has consistently ranked in the lowest cost quartile among
zinc mines in the world. In the beginning of 2005, Lundin Mining
acquired the remaining outstanding shares of North Atlantic Natural
Resources AB (NAN). NAN's primary asset is the Storliden copper and zinc
mine in the Skellefte mining district of northern Sweden, which has been
in production since 2002. By acquiring ARCON International Resources
P.l.c. of Ireland, Lundin Mining added the Galmoy zinc-lead mine and an
extensive exploration acreage in the county of Kilkenny, Ireland to it's
existing portfolio. Lundin Mining also holds a large copper/gold
exploration project in the prolific Norrbotten mining district in
northern Sweden as well as exploration permits covering numerous
exploration targets in the historical Skellefte mining district of
northern Sweden.
