VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Marketwire - Jan. 31, 2008) - Lundin Mining Corporation (“Lundin Mining” or the “Company”) (TSX:LUN)(NYSE:LMC)(OMX:LUMI) advises that it has been informed by its tax advisors in Portugal that there has been misinterpretation of applicable tax legislation relating to certain tax rate reductions that have been claimed by Somincor, the Company’s operating subsidiary in Portugal. Because a lower tax rate than allowed has been used, Somincor has under declared past tax contributions in Portugal.

The Company will restate and refile its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, primarily to reflect amendments to the original allocation of the purchase price for the acquisition of EuroZinc Mining Corporation. The effect on net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2006 is not expected to be significant. The Company will also restate and refile its financial statements for each of the interim periods in 2007 to reflect changes primarily relating to the incorrect tax rate having been used. The Company anticipates an aggregate reduction in net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 of approximately US$55 million including, among other items, an increase in current tax expenses of approximately US$16 million, and a reversal of future income tax recovery of approximately US$46 million. The original future income tax recovery of US$46 million was initially recognized in the third quarter of 2007.

The Company’s financial statements, as previously published and filed in respect of the periods noted above, should no longer be relied upon. The above financial information represents management’s best estimates of the effects of the restatement. The Company expects to file the restated financial statements, together with restated management’s discussion and analysis for each period, and any other required documents, prior to the issuance of the Company’s year end results.

On behalf of the Board,

Lukas H. Lundin, Chairman
