Toronto, May 2, 2017 (TSX: LUN; OMX: LUMI) Lundin Mining Corporation (“Lundin Mining” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that Nasdaq Stockholm has approved the application for direct listing of its shares. The approval is subject to customary conditions including the approval and registration, and subsequent publication, of a listing prospectus prepared in accordance with Swedish laws and regulations.

In accordance with the Company’s previous announcement, a notice of termination of the Swedish Depository Receipts (“SDRs”) representing the shares was published in Svenska Dagbladet on May 2, 2017. As set forth in the notice, the record date for the conversion of the SDRs in the VPC register shall be June 9, 2017. Pareto Securities AB will, in accordance with the VPC plan for conversion of securities, deliver the underlying shares to the holders of SDRs entitled to receive shares. Entitled holders do not need to take any action as all SDRs will be converted to shares automatically.

The first day of trading of shares is expected to be June 8, 2017. The last day of trading of the SDRs is expected to be June 7, 2017.
