While pursuing growth, the Company has also maintained financial discipline and strength, allowing for the introduction of a dividend policy to provide peer-leading direct returns to shareholders.

Ms. Inkster will be stepping down from the Board of Directors as at December 31, 2021, though will act as an advisor to the Company until the end of 2022.

Mr. Lukas Lundin, Chair of Lundin Mining's Board of Directors stated, "On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Marie for her dedication and contribution to Lundin Mining's evolution into the strong company it is today. The Company has a bright future due to the solid foundation that has been built during her time with Lundin Mining and she has put together a highly effective senior leadership team around her to continue building on the success."

Peter's intimate knowledge of Lundin Mining surpasses his time with the Company, having supported, through previous positions, most of the Company's financing and acquisition efforts over the last decade and a half. The Board believes that Peter is an excellent fit, focused on the future of the Company in achieving its long-term strategic goals."
