To our shareholders,

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 merged group will 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 transaction between Lundin Mining and EuroZinc is conditional upon the approval of 50.1% of Lundin Mining's shareholders and 66.7% of EuroZinc's shareholders. Special shareholder meetings will be held on October 19, 2006 and the transaction is expected to close by late October. The shares of the merged entity will be listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the Stockholm Stock Exchange and also on the American Stock Exchange. Further details about the merger can be found in the accompanying management information circular.

The Board of Lundin Mining unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the transaction, and the largest shareholder in the Company, the Lundin Family interests, have pledged their full support.

I am very enthusiastic about the future of the merged company and look forward to continue to develop Lundin Mining together with our new colleagues at EuroZinc. Through the merger we will not only increase our number of employees to approximately 1,500, but also the level of professional expertise. I am convinced that with the combined knowledge and experience of the new management team, Lundin Mining will be able to continue to grow in a profitable way.

Yours sincerely

"Karl-Axel Waplan"

CEO and President

INFORMATION CIRCULAR

Introduction

This Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by and on behalf of the management of Lundin Mining for use at the Meeting and any adjournments thereof. No person has been authorized to give any information or make any representation in connection with the Arrangement or any other matters to be considered at the Meeting other than those contained in this Circular and, if given or made, any such information or representation must not be relied upon as having been authorized.

All summaries of, and references to, the Arrangement in this Circular are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Plan of Arrangement, a copy of which is attached as Schedule A to the Arrangement Agreement which is attached as Schedule H to this Circular. You are urged to carefully read the full text of the Plan of Arrangement.

All capitalized terms used in this Circular but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth under "Glossary". Information contained in this Circular is given as of September 18, 2006 unless otherwise specifically stated.

Forward Looking Statements

This Circular contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Circular are forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding the future financial position, business strategy, proposed acquisitions, budgets, litigation, projected costs and plans and objectives of or involving Lundin Mining or EuroZinc. Lundin Shareholders can identify many of these statements by looking for words such as "believes", "expects", "will", "intends", "projects", "anticipates", "estimates", "continues" or similar words or the negative thereof. These forward-looking statements include statements with respect to: fluctuation of mineral prices, foreign currency fluctuations, the estimation of mineral reserves and resources, the realization of mineral reserve estimates, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of production, capital expenditures, costs and timing of the development of new deposits, success of exploration activities, permitting time lines, requirements for additional capital, political risks, statutory and regulatory compliance, changes to laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of mining companies, industrial accidents, labour disputes, environmental risks, unanticipated reclamation expenses, title disputes or claims, limitations on insurance coverage, repatriation of earnings to Canada from other jurisdictions, dependence on key management employees, conflicts of interest, significant and increasing competition in the mining industry; stock price and volume volatility and the timing of the Final Order and the Effective Date of the Arrangement as well as the stock exchange listing of securities issued under the Arrangement. There can be no assurance that the plan, intentions or expectations upon which these forward-looking statements are based will occur. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those discussed elsewhere in this Circular. Although Lundin Mining believes that the expectations represented in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Please refer to "The Arrangement - Risk Factors" in this Circular. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

The mineral resource figures disclosed in, or incorporated by reference into, this Circular are estimates and no assurances can be given that the indicated levels will be produced. Such estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, mining experience, analysis of drilling results and industry practices. Valid estimates made at a given time may significantly change when new information becomes


- 2 -

available. While Lundin Mining believes that the resource estimates disclosed in this Circular are well established, by their nature resource estimates are imprecise and depend, to a certain extent, upon statistical inferences which may ultimately prove unreliable. If such estimates are inaccurate or are reduced in the future, this could have a material adverse impact on Lundin Mining.

Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Measured and indicated mineral resources are sufficiently well defined to allow geological and grade continuity to be reasonably assumed and permit the application of technical and economic parameters in assessing the economic viability of the resource. Inferred mineral resources are estimated on limited information not sufficient to verify geological and grade continuity or to allow technical and economic parameters to be applied. Inferred mineral resources are too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them to enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that mineral resources can be upgraded to mineral reserves through continued exploration.

The forward-looking statements contained herein are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. The forward-looking statements included in this Circular are made as of the date of this Circular and, except as required under applicable securities laws, Lundin Mining undertakes no obligation to publicly update such forward-looking statements to reflect new information, subsequent events or otherwise.

Exchange Rate Information

All dollar amounts set forth in this Circular are in Canadian dollars, except where otherwise indicated. All references to "US dollars" or to "US$" are to United States dollars and all references to SEK are to Swedish kronor. The following table sets forth the rate of exchange for the Canadian dollar, expressed in United States dollars in effect at the end of the periods indicated, the average of exchange rates in effect during such periods, and the high and low exchange rates during such periods based on the noon rate of exchange as reported by the Bank of Canada for conversion of Canadian dollars into United States dollars.

The Meeting

Date, Time and Place

The Meeting will be held at Suite 2101, 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia on October 19, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Special Meeting.

Record Date

The Record Date for determining the registered Lundin Shareholders for the Meeting is September 14, 2006.

Purpose of the Meeting

At the Meeting, Lundin Shareholders will be asked to approve resolutions: (i) authorizing the issuance of up to approximately 54,734,559 Lundin Shares including approximately 1,156,363 Lundin Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of EuroZinc Options, in connection with the Combination; (ii) increasing the size of the Lundin Board of Directors from 9 to 10; (iii) increasing the number of options that may be issued under the Lundin Mining incentive stock option plan from 3,000,000 to 7,000,000; (iv) subdividing all of the fully paid and issued Lundin Shares, each Lundin Share being divided by a ratio of 3 to 1; and (v) appointing auditors for Lundin Mining to hold office until the next Annual Meeting.

The vote required to approve the issuance of approximately 54,734,559 Lundin Shares in connection with the Combination, the increase in the number of options that may be issued under the Lundin Mining incentive stock option plan and the appointment of auditors of Lundin Mining to hold office until the next Annual Meeting shall be no less than 50% of the votes cast by Lundin Shareholders, either in person or by proxy, at the Meeting. The vote required to approve the increase in the size of the Lundin Board of Directors from 9 to 10 and the subdivision of the fully paid and issued Lundin Shares by a ratio of 3 to 1 shall be no less than 66 2/3% of the votes cast by Lundin Shareholders, either in person or by proxy, at the Meeting.

The Combination

Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, EuroZinc and Lundin Mining have agreed to complete the Combination pursuant to which, amongst other things, each EuroZinc Shareholder other than a Dissenting Shareholder will be entitled to receive 0.0952 Lundin Shares and $0.0001 for each EuroZinc share held. Immediately following the Effective Date, EuroZinc will be a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Lundin Mining. Under the Arrangement Agreement Lundin Mining has covenanted that promptly after the Effective Date, but in any event within 30 days, it will take all steps necessary to continue EuroZinc under the CBCA and amalgamate Lundin Mining with EuroZinc.


- 5 -

Distribution of Lundin Shares and Payment of Cash Consideration

At or promptly after the Effective Time Lundin Mining will deposit with the Depositary or otherwise make available certificates representing the number of Lundin Shares required to be issued to the EuroZinc Shareholders in connection with the Arrangement and will deposit with the Depositary the funds required to pay the cash consideration. Upon surrender to the Depositary for cancellation of a certificate representing outstanding EuroZinc Shares together with a duly completed Letter of Transmittal, the holder of such certificate will be entitled to receive a certificate representing the number of Lundin Shares to which such holder is entitled, together with the cash consideration to be paid in respect thereof.

The Arrangement

The principal features of the Arrangement may be summarized as follows, which summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Arrangement Agreement.

Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, at the Effective Time the following shall occur, and shall be deemed to occur in the following order, without any further act or formality:

(a)  EuroZinc Shares held by Dissenting Shareholders shall be deemed to be transferred to Lundin Mining and Lundin Mining will be obliged to pay therefor the amount determined and payable in accordance with Article 4 of the Plan of Arrangement and the names of such holders will be removed from the register of holders of EuroZinc Shares and Lundin Mining will be recorded as the registered holder of the EuroZinc Shares so transferred and will be deemed to be the legal and beneficial owner of such EuroZinc Shares;

(b)  all EuroZinc Shares held by Former EuroZinc Shareholders, other than Lundin Mining or any Dissenting Shareholders, shall be exchanged with Lundin Mining for Lundin Shares and cash on the basis of 0.0952 Lundin Shares and $0.0001 in cash for each EuroZinc Share; and

(c)  (i) each EuroZinc Option shall entitle the holder thereof to receive (and such holder shall accept) upon the exercise thereof, in lieu of the number of EuroZinc Shares otherwise issuable upon the exercise thereof, the number of Lundin Shares which the holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Plan of Arrangement if, immediately prior to the Effective Time, such holder had been the registered holder of the number of EuroZinc Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise, and (ii) such EuroZinc Option shall otherwise continue to be governed by and be subject to the terms of the EuroZinc Share Option Plan and applicable agreement thereunder. If the adjustment to the EuroZinc Options contemplated by this paragraph results in a disposition of EuroZinc Options for options to acquire Lundin Shares or "new" EuroZinc Options, it is intended that the provisions of subsection 7(1.4) of the ITA apply to any such disposition. Therefore, in the event that the amount, if any, by which the total value (determined immediately after the Effective Time) of the Lundin Shares that a holder is entitled to acquire at and from the Effective Time exceeds the amount payable to acquire such shares (the "Lundin Option In-the-Money Amount"), exceeds the amount by which the total value (determined immediately before the Effective Time) of the EuroZinc Shares that the holder was entitled to acquire immediately before the Effective Time exceeds the amount payable to acquire such shares (the "EuroZinc Option In-the-Money Amount"), the number of Lundin Shares which may be acquired at and after the Effective Time will be adjusted accordingly with effect at and from the Effective Time to ensure that the Lundin Option In-the-Money Amount does not exceed the EuroZinc Option In-the-Money Amount and the ratio of the amount payable to acquire such shares to the value of such shares to be acquired shall be unchanged.

Notes:

(1)   The term "cash flow from operations" should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than cash flow from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP. Cash flow from operations is defined as funds from operations before the change in non cash working capital related to operating activities. The reconciliation between net earnings and funds from operations can be found in the statement of cash flows in the financial statements. Cash flow from operations per share are calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding consistent with the calculation of earnings per share.

(2)   Working capital is current assets net of current liabilities including bank debt and excluding unrealized financial instruments.

(3)   Weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.

(4)   Derived from the audited financial statements of EuroZinc as at and for the year ended December 31, 2005.

(5)   Derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Lundin Mining as at and for the year ended December 31, 2005.

As at September 18, 2006, there were 562,796,177 EuroZinc Shares outstanding and 40,908,331 Lundin Shares outstanding.

Background to the Arrangement

In April 2006 management of Lundin Mining discussed the possibility and merits of a business combination of EuroZinc and Lundin Mining. Senior management of both companies met to discuss a potential merger and on May 2, 2006 a confidentiality agreement was entered into by the companies. Lundin Mining engaged legal counsel and professional advisors to assist it with a due diligence review of the affairs of EuroZinc and the negotiation of the terms of a definitive agreement. On August 18, 2006 the Lundin Board of Directors met to consider the Arrangement Agreement and a presentation and report from Macquarie and to discuss the proposed transaction. The Lundin Board of Directors unanimously, with Lukas Lundin declaring his interest in EuroZinc and abstaining from voting, authorized Lundin Mining to enter into the Arrangement Agreement.


- 8 -

Certain terms of the transaction were subsequently modified to address certain tax implications and the terms of an amended and restated Arrangement Agreement were settled. The Lundin Board of Directors met to consider the amended and restated Arrangement Agreement on September 14, 2006 and unanimously, with Lukas Lundin declaring his interest in EuroZinc and abstaining from voting, authorized Lundin Mining to enter into the amended and restated Arrangement Agreement. On September 18, 2006 Lundin Mining and EuroZinc entered into the amended and restated Arrangement Agreement.

Reasons for the Arrangement

The Lundin Board of Directors concluded that a merger with EuroZinc would be in the best interest of both Lundin Mining and the Lundin Shareholders. The merged entity will own and operate a portfolio of four profitable operating mines, with a fifth mine, Aljustrel, scheduled to be reopened in the second half of 2007. Following the Arrangement Lundin Mining will also have an extensive exploration and development property portfolio and a combined management team that will be well positioned to coordinate and manage the future growth of Lundin Mining.

Lundin Mining Following the Arrangement

Following the Arrangement Lundin Mining will have a market capitalization of approximately US$3.0 billion. It will remain listed on the TSX and the SSE and will have made application to list its securities for trading on the AMEX.

Upon completion of the Arrangement, Former EuroZinc Shareholders will own approximately 56.7% of the then outstanding Lundin Shares and Lundin Shareholders will own approximately 43.3% of the then outstanding Lundin Shares on a non-diluted basis, and Former EuroZinc Shareholders will own approximately 56.9% of the then outstanding Lundin Shares and Lundin Shareholders will own approximately 43.1% of the then outstanding Lundin Shares, on a fully diluted basis.

GENERAL PROXY INFORMATION

Solicitation of Proxies

The information contained in this Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be used at the Meeting to be held at Suite 2101, 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia on October 19, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time), for the purposes set out in the accompanying Notice of Special Meeting.

Management's solicitation of proxies will primarily be by mail and may be supplemented by telephone or other means of communication to be made without special compensation by directors, officers and regular employees of Lundin Mining. Lundin Mining may retain other persons or companies to solicit proxies on behalf of management of Lundin Mining, in which event customary fees for such services will be paid. All solicitation costs will be borne by Lundin Mining.

The information contained in this Circular is given as of September 18, 2006, unless otherwise indicated.

Appointment of Proxyholder

The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy are directors and/or officers of Lundin Mining (the "Management Proxyholders"). A registered shareholder has the right to appoint a person other than one of the Management Proxyholders to represent the registered shareholder at the Meeting by striking out the printed names and inserting that other person's name in the blank space provided. A proxyholder need not be a shareholder. If a shareholder appoints one of the Management Proxyholders as a nominee and there is no direction by the registered shareholder, the Management Proxyholder shall vote the proxy FOR all proposals set out in the enclosed proxy form and in this Circular.

The instrument appointing a proxyholder must be signed in writing by the registered shareholder, or such shareholder's attorney authorized in writing. If the registered shareholder is a corporation, the instrument appointing a proxyholder must be in writing signed by an officer or attorney of the corporation duly authorized by resolution of the directors of such corporation, which resolution must accompany such instrument. An instrument of proxy will only be valid if it is duly completed, signed, dated and received at the office of the Corporation's registrar and transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc., 9th Floor, 100 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, Attention: Proxy Department, no later than 1:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on October 17, 2006 or not less than forty-eight (48) hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before any adjournment or postponement thereof, or if it is deposited with the Secretary of the Corporation or the chairman of the Meeting prior to the time of voting at the Meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

If you have any questions about the procedures to be followed to vote at the Meeting or about obtaining, completing and depositing the required form of proxy, you should contact Computershare Investor Services Inc. by telephone (toll free) at 1-800-564-6253.


-11-

Voting of Proxies

Common shares of Lundin Mining represented by properly executed proxies in the accompanying form will be voted or withheld from voting on each respective matter in accordance with the instructions of the registered shareholder on any ballot that may be called for and, if the shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting, the shares represented by such proxy will be voted accordingly. If no choice is specified, the person designated in the accompanying form of proxy will vote FOR all matters proposed by management at the Meeting.

Exercise of Discretion

The enclosed form of proxy, when properly completed and delivered and not revoked, confers discretionary authority upon the person appointed proxy thereunder with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Special Meeting, and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. In the event that amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Special Meeting are properly brought before the Meeting or any further or other business is properly brought before the Meeting, it is the intention of the person designated in the accompanying form of proxy to vote in accordance with their best judgment on such matters. As of the date of this Circular, management of Lundin Mining knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting.

Voting By Beneficial Shareholders

The information in this section is important to many Lundin Shareholders as a substantial number of Lundin Shareholders do not hold their shares in their own name.

Lundin Shareholders who hold Lundin Shares through their brokers, intermediaries, trustees, or other nominees (such Lundin Shareholders being collectively called "Beneficial Shareholders") should note that only proxies deposited by Lundin Shareholders whose names appear on the share register of Lundin Mining may be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If common shares are shown on an account statement provided to a Beneficial Shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases the name of such Beneficial Shareholder will not appear on the share register of Lundin Mining. Such shares will most likely be registered in the name of the broker or an agent of the broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such shares will be registered in the name of "CDS & Co.", the registration name of The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited, which acts as a nominee for many brokerage firms. Such shares can only be voted by brokers, agents, or nominees and can only be voted by them in accordance with instructions received from Beneficial Shareholders. As a result, Beneficial Shareholders should carefully review the voting and instructions provided by their broker, agent or nominee with this Circular and ensure that they direct the voting of their shares in accordance with those instructions.

Applicable regulatory policies require brokers and intermediaries to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholders' meetings. Each broker or intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients. The purpose of the form of proxy or voting instruction form provided to a Beneficial Shareholder by such shareholder's broker, agent or nominee is limited to instructing the registered holder on how to vote such shares on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. Most brokers in Canada now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to ADP Investor Communications ("ADP"). ADP typically prepares voting instruction forms, mails those forms to Beneficial Shareholders and asks those Beneficial Shareholders to return the forms to ADP or follow specific telephone or other voting procedures. ADP then tabulates the results of all instructions received by it and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of such shares at the


-12-

Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder receiving a voting instruction form from ADP cannot use that form to vote their shares at the Meeting. Instead, the voting instruction form must be returned to ADP or the alternate voting procedures must be completed well in advance of the Meeting in order to ensure that such shares are voted.

Revocation of Proxy

A registered shareholder who has returned a proxy may revoke it at any time before it has been exercised. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked by instrument in writing, including a proxy bearing a later date, executed by the registered shareholder or by his attorney authorized in writing or, if the registered shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized. The instrument revoking the proxy must be deposited at the registered office of Lundin Mining, at any time up to and including the last Business Day preceding the date of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or with the Secretary of Lundin Mining or the chairman of the Meeting prior to the time of voting at the Meeting. Only registered Lundin Shareholders have the right to revoke a proxy. Beneficial Shareholders who wish to change their vote must arrange for their respective intermediaries to revoke the proxy on their behalf.

THE ARRANGEMENT

Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, EuroZinc and Lundin Mining have agreed to complete the Combination pursuant to which, among other things, each EuroZinc Shareholder (other than a registered EuroZinc Shareholder who exercises Dissent Rights) will be entitled to receive 0.0952 Lundin Shares and $0.0001 in cash for each EuroZinc Share held by such EuroZinc Shareholder. Immediately following the Effective Date EuroZinc will be a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Lundin Mining. Under the Arrangement Agreement Lundin Mining has covenanted that promptly after the Effective Date, but in any event within 30 days, it will take all steps necessary to continue EuroZinc under the CBCA and amalgamate Lundin Mining with EuroZinc. Fractional Lundin Shares will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

Upon completion of the Arrangement, each holder of a EuroZinc Option will be entitled to receive upon the subsequent exercise thereof in accordance with its terms, and shall accept in lieu of the number of EuroZinc Shares otherwise issuable upon such exercise, the number of Lundin Shares which such holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the transactions contemplated in the Plan of Arrangement if, immediately prior to the Effective Time, such holder had been the registered holder of the number of EuroZinc Shares to which such holder was previously entitled upon such exercise. The term of expiry, conditions to and manner of exercising, vesting schedule and all other terms and conditions of such EuroZinc Options will otherwise be unchanged and any document or agreement previously evidencing a EuroZinc Option shall still be deemed to evidence such EuroZinc Option.

Upon completion of the Arrangement, Former EuroZinc Shareholders will own approximately 56.7% of the then outstanding Lundin Shares and Lundin Shareholders will own approximately 43.3% of the then outstanding Lundin Shares on a non-diluted basis. Former EuroZinc Shareholders will own approximately 56.9% of the then outstanding Lundin Shares and Lundin Shareholders will own approximately 43.1% of the then outstanding Lundin Shares, on a fully diluted basis.

In connection with the Combination, Lundin Shareholders will be asked to pass with or without variation, the Share Issue Resolution, the Lundin New Board Resolution and the Lundin SOP Amendment Resolution. Lundin Shareholders will also be asked to pass, with or without variation, the Subdivision Resolution and the Appointment of Auditor Resolution.

Background

In April 2006 management of Lundin Mining discussed the possibility and merits of a business combination of EuroZinc and Lundin Mining. Management of Lundin Mining approached senior management of EuroZinc to determine if EuroZinc would be interested in pursuing discussions regarding a potential merger. On May 2, 2006 a confidentiality agreement was entered into between the companies.

In May and June of 2006 the Lundin Board of Directors retained Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, McCullough O'Connor Irwin LLP, Thorsteinssons LLP and Linklaters Advokatbyra to act as legal advisors to Lundin Mining. The Lundin Board of Directors also engaged Macquarie to prepare a valuation of EuroZinc and reached an understanding with Macquarie that Macquarie would render an opinion as to fairness, from a financial point of view, to the Lundin Shareholders of the consideration to be issued on completion of the Arrangement, comprising the Exchange Ratio.

On August 18, 2006, the Lundin Board of Directors, with the assistance of its legal counsel, settled the terms of a definitive Arrangement Agreement with EuroZinc.

On August 18, 2006, the Lundin Board of Directors met to consider a presentation of the management of Macquarie in respect of the Macquarie Fairness Opinion and to review the Arrangement


-15-

Agreement. Following a discussion of the Arrangement Agreement and a presentation from management of Macquarie relating to the Macquarie Fairness Opinion, the Lundin Board of Directors unanimously, with Lukas Lundin declaring his interest and abstaining from voting, authorized Lundin Mining to enter into the Arrangement Agreement, which was executed on August 20, 2006.

Certain terms of the transaction were subsequently modified to address certain tax implications and the terms of an amended and restated Arrangement Agreement were settled. The Lundin Board of Directors met to consider the amended and restated Arrangement Agreement on September 14, 2006 and unanimously, with Lukas Lundin declaring his interest and abstaining from voting, authorized Lundin Mining to enter into the amended and restated Arrangement Agreement. On September 18, 2006 EuroZinc and Lundin Mining entered into the amended and restated Arrangement Agreement.

Benefits of the Combination

The Lundin Board of Directors believes that the Combination will have the following benefits for their shareholders:

(i)    the combination of the businesses of EuroZinc and Lundin Mining is expected to create a mining and exploration company with a global focus in copper and zinc with operating mines in Sweden, Ireland and Portugal;

Recommendation of the Lundin Board of Directors

The Lundin Board of Directors has unanimously approved the Share Issue Resolution, the Lundin New Board Resolution and the Lundin SOP Amendment Resolution and unanimously recommends that the Lundin Shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of each of those resolutions at the Meeting. See "Information Concerning the Meetings — Interests of Certain Persons in the Combination". In recommending that the Lundin Shareholders vote in favour of the Share Issue Resolution, the Lundin Board of Directors considered, among other things, the expected benefits of the Arrangement as well as the following factors:

(i)     the financial analysis provided by Macquarie to the Lundin Board of Directors and the opinion of Macquarie that, as of September 19, 2006, the Exchange Ratio is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Lundin Shareholders;

(ii)    under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, the Lundin Board of Directors is able to consider (in accordance with the provisions of the Arrangement Agreement) any unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal that may be a Superior Proposal and approve or recommend to Lundin Shareholders or enter into an agreement in respect of a Superior Proposal (see "The Arrangement Agreement — Non-Solicitation");

(iii)   information provided in respect of EuroZinc with respect to its assets and properties;

(iv)   information provided in respect of EuroZinc with respect to its historical and current financial condition, business and operations; and

(v)   the anticipated size and market liquidity of Lundin Mining subsequent to the Arrangement.

The Lundin Board of Directors has also unanimously approved the Subdivision Resolution and the Appointment of Auditor Resolution and unanimously recommends that the Lundin Shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of each of those resolutions at the Meeting. Macquarie Fairness Opinion

On August 18, 2006, Macquarie delivered its verbal report to the Lundin Board of Directors to the effect that, as of such date, the Exchange Ratio was fair, from a financial point of view, to the Lundin Shareholders. Macquarie subsequently delivered the Macquarie Fairness Opinion, which concludes that, based upon and subject to the factors referred to therein, as of September 19, 2006, the Exchange Ratio was fair, from a financial point of view, to the Lundin Shareholders.

In arriving at its opinion Macquarie, amongst other things:

(a)    Reviewed what it had been advised was the most recent draft of the Arrangement Agreement and the schedules thereto;

(b)    Reviewed certain publicly available financial and other information concerning Lundin Mining and EuroZinc that it deemed to be relevant for purposes of its analysis;


-17-

(c)    Reviewed certain historical financial information and operating data concerning Lundin Mining and EuroZinc which was provided by Lundin Mining and EuroZinc respectively;

(d)   Reviewed certain projected financial and operating information, including, without limitation, operational forecasts, financial forecasts and internal mine models, which was prepared and provided by Lundin Mining and EuroZinc, respectively;

(e)   Conducted discussions with senior executives and managers of Lundin Mining and EuroZinc concerning the matters described in clauses (b), (c) and (d) above;

(f)    Reviewed historical market prices and valuation multiples for the Lundin Shares and EuroZinc Shares and compared such prices and multiples with those of certain publicly traded companies that it deemed relevant for purposes of its analysis;

(g)   Reviewed the financial results of Lundin Mining and EuroZinc and compared them with publicly available financial data concerning certain publicly traded companies that it deemed to be relevant for purposes of its analysis;

(h)   Reviewed publicly available financial data for merger and acquisition transactions it deemed comparable for purposes of its analysis;

(i)    Compared the consideration of 0.0952 Lundin Shares and $0.0001 (the "Consderation") and its implied transaction value to the historical market prices of the EuroZinc Shares;

(j)    Compared the Consideration to the value per EuroZinc Share implied by analyses of market multiples of comparable companies, implied multiples paid in comparable transactions and net asset value analysis incorporating the discounted cash flow methodology;

(k)    Reviewed certain industry reports and statistics as it deemed relevant for purposes of its analysis; and

(l)    Reviewed and considered such other financial, market, technical and industry information, discussions or analyses it considered to be relevant and appropriate in the circumstances.

In preparing the Macquarie Fairness Opinion, Macquarie relied upon, and assumed the completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of all financial and other information, data, advice, opinions and representations acquired by it from public sources or information provided to it by Lundin Mining and EuroZinc. Macquarie did not attempt to verify independently the accuracy or completeness of such information, data, advice, opinions or representations.

Also in connection with the preparation of the Macquarie Fairness Opinion, Macquarie made assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, market and economic conditions and other matters, and believes its assumptions to be reasonable.

Macquarie believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses or the factors considered by Macquarie, without considering all factors and analyses together, could be misleading. Accordingly, the complete text of the Macquarie Fairness Opinion, which sets forth the assumptions made, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken in connection with the opinion is attached to this Circular as Schedule G. The Macquarie Fairness Opinion addresses only the fairness of the Exchange Ratio from a financial


-18-

point of view and is not and should not be construed as a valuation of EuroZinc, Lundin Mining or any of their respective assets or securities or a recommendation to any Shareholder as to whether to vote in favour of the Share Issue Resolution, the Lundin New Directors' Resolution or the Lundin SOP Resolution.

Lundin Shareholders are urged to, and should, read the Macquarie Fairness Opinion in its entirety.

Court Approval and Completion of the Arrangement

The transactions contemplated in the Arrangement will be carried out with the intention that the Lundin Shares issued on completion of the Arrangement will be issued in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act. In order to ensure the availability of an exemption, the Arrangement requires, amongst other things, the approval of the EuroZinc Shareholders at the EuroZinc Meeting and approval by the Court. Prior to the mailing of this Circular, EuroZinc obtained the Interim Order providing for the calling and holding of the EuroZinc Meeting and other procedural matters.

Subject to the approval of the Arrangement Resolution by the EuroZinc Shareholders at the EuroZinc Meeting, the hearing in respect of the Final Order is scheduled to take place on October 24, 2006 at 9:45 a.m. (Vancouver time) or shortly thereafter in the Court at 800 Smithe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia. All EuroZinc Shareholders who wish to participate or be represented or to present evidence or arguments at that hearing must serve and file a notice of appearance as set out in the Interim Order and satisfy all other applicable requirements. At the hearing in respect of the Final Order, the Court will consider, among other things, the fairness and reasonableness of the Arrangement. The Court may approve the Arrangement as proposed or as amended in any manner as the Court may direct, subject to compliance with such terms and conditions, if any, as the Court deems fit.

Assuming that the Final Order is granted and the other conditions in respect of the Arrangement as set out in the Arrangement Agreement are satisfied or waived, it is anticipated that the Final Order will be filed with the Registrar to give effect to the Plan of Arrangement and the various other documents necessary to complete the Arrangement as contemplated under the Arrangement Agreement will be executed and delivered.

It is currently anticipated that the effective date for the Combination will be on or about October 27, 2006.

Distribution of Lundin Shares and Payment of Cash Consideration

At or promptly after the Effective Time for the Combination, Lundin Mining will deposit with the Depositary or otherwise make available certificates representing the number of Lundin Shares required to be issued to the EuroZinc Shareholders in connection with the Arrangement and will deposit with the Depositary the funds required to pay the cash consideration. Upon surrender to the Depositary for cancellation of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding EuroZinc Shares together with a Letter of Transmittal which has been completed and signed in the manner required thereby in respect of such certificate and such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, the holder of such surrendered certificate will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Depositary will deliver to such holder, a certificate representing that number (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of Lundin Shares that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, together with the cash consideration to be paid in respect thereof, and the surrendered certificate will be cancelled.


-19-

In the event of a transfer of ownership of EuroZinc Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of EuroZinc, a certificate representing the proper number of Lundin Shares may be issued to the transferee if the certificate representing such EuroZinc Shares is presented to the Depositary, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer.

Until surrendered, each certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented EuroZinc Shares will be deemed, at any time after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the certificate representing Lundin Shares that the holder thereof has the right to receive pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement.

If any certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding EuroZinc Shares has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Depositary will cause to be issued in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, a certificate representing Lundin Shares deliverable in respect thereof in accordance with such holder's Letter of Transmittal, as determined in accordance with the Arrangement. When authorizing such delivery in exchange for any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the person to whom a certificate representing Lundin Shares is to be issued must, as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, give a bond satisfactory to Lundin Mining and the Depositary in such amount as Lundin Mining and the Depositary may direct or otherwise indemnify Lundin Mining and the Depositary in a manner satisfactory to Lundin Mining and the Depositary against any claim that may be made against Lundin Mining or the Depositary with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Lundin Shares with a record date after the Effective Time will be delivered to the holder of any unsurrendered certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding EuroZinc Shares that were exchanged pursuant to the Arrangement, unless and until the holder of record of such certificate surrenders such certificate (together with a Letter of Transmittal which has been completed and signed in the manner required thereby in respect of such certificate) or complies with the required procedures in respect of lost, stolen or destroyed certificates. Subject to applicable law, at the time of such surrender of any such certificate or compliance with the required procedures in respect of lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, there will be paid to the holder of record of the certificate representing Lundin Shares, without interest, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender paid with respect to such Lundin Shares.

Lundin Mining and the Depositary are entitled to deduct and withhold from any dividend or distribution otherwise payable to any holder of EuroZinc Shares or Lundin Shares such amounts as Lundin Mining or the Depositary is required or permitted to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under the ITA or any provision of provincial, state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the holder of the shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, provided that such withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate taxing authority.

To the extent that a EuroZinc Shareholder has not surrendered the certificates representing the Lundin Shares held by such EuroZinc Shareholder on or before the date which is six years after the Effective Date (the "final proscription date"), then the Lundin Shares which such EuroZinc Shareholder was entitled to receive will be delivered to Lundin Mining by the Depositary for cancellation and will be cancelled by Lundin Mining, and the interest of the EuroZinc Shareholder in such Lundin Shares will be terminated as of such final proscription date.

Subject to the conditions in the Arrangement Agreement being satisfied or waived, Lundin Mining and EuroZinc will jointly apply to the Court for the Final Order approving the Plan of Arrangement under the provisions of section 291 of the BCBCA. In connection with the Combination, among other things, each EuroZinc Shareholder (other than a registered EuroZinc Shareholder who exercises Dissent Rights) will be entitled to receive Lundin Shares in exchange for the EuroZinc Shares held by such EuroZinc Shareholder on the basis of 0.0952 Lundin Shares, together with $0.0001 cash, for each EuroZinc Share held by such EuroZinc Shareholder, all pursuant to the provisions of the Plan of Arrangement.

(a)   each EuroZinc Share in respect of which Dissent Procedures have been exercised shall be deemed to be transferred by the holder thereof, without any further act or formality on its part, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, to Lundin Mining, with Lundin Mining being obliged to pay therefor the amount determined and payable in accordance with Section 4 of the Plan of Arrangement, and the name of such holder will be removed from the register of holders of EuroZinc Shares and Lundin Mining will be recorded as the registered holder of the EuroZinc Shares so transferred and will be deemed to be the legal and beneficial owner of such EuroZinc Shares;

(b)   all EuroZinc Shares held by Former EuroZinc Shareholders (other than Lundin Mining or any Dissenting Shareholders) shall be exchanged with Lundin Mining for Lundin Shares on the basis of 0.0952 Lundin Shares and $0.0001 in cash for each EuroZinc Share, subject to sections 3.03, 3.04 and 4.01 of the Plan of Arrangement; and

(c)    (i) each EuroZinc Option shall entitle the holder thereof to receive (and such holder shall accept) upon the exercise thereof, in lieu of the number of EuroZinc Shares otherwise issuable upon the exercise thereof, the number of Lundin Shares which the holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Plan of Arrangement if, immediately prior to the Effective Time, such holder had been the registered holder of the number of EuroZinc Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise, and (ii) such EuroZinc Option shall otherwise continue to be governed by and be subject to the terms of the EuroZinc Share Option Plan and applicable agreement thereunder. If the adjustment to the EuroZinc Options contemplated by this paragraph results in a disposition of EuroZinc Options for options for Lundin Shares or "new" EuroZinc Options, it is intended that the provisions of subsection 7(1.4) of the ITA apply to any such disposition. Therefore, in the event that the amount, if any, by which the total value (determined immediately after the Effective Time) of the Lundin Shares that a holder is entitled to acquire at and from the Effective Time exceeds the amount payable to acquire such shares (the "Lundin Option In-the- Money Amount"), exceeds the amount by which the total value (determined immediately before the Effective Time) of the EuroZinc Shares that the holder was entitled to acquire immediately before the Effective Time exceeds the amount payable to acquire such shares (the "EuroZinc Option In-the-Money Amount"), the number of Lundin Shares which may be acquired at and after the Effective Time will be adjusted accordingly with effect at and from the Effective Time to ensure that the Lundin Option In-the-Money Amount does not exceed the EuroZinc Option In-the-Money Amount and the ratio of the


-21-

amount payable to acquire such shares to the value of such shares to be acquired shall be unchanged.

Assuming that there are 562,796,177 Euro Zinc Shares outstanding as at the Effective Time (which assumes that no EuroZinc Options are exercised prior to such time) and that no EuroZinc Shareholder exercises Dissent Rights, Lundin Mining will issue approximately 53,578,196 Lundin Shares upon the completion of the Arrangement (not including Lundin Shares issuable upon the subsequent exercise of EuroZinc Options). Based upon the foregoing assumptions, upon the completion of the Arrangement, former EuroZinc Shareholders will own approximately 56.7% of the then outstanding Lundin Shares and Lundin Shareholders will own approximately 43.3% of the then outstanding Lundin Shares, on a non-diluted basis, and Former EuroZinc Shareholders will own approximately 56.9% of the then outstanding Lundin Shares and Lundin Shareholders will own approximately 43.1% of the then outstanding Lundin Shares, on a fully diluted basis.

Effect of the Arrangement

The Arrangement Agreement provides for the implementation of the Plan of Arrangement pursuant to which, on the Effective Date, each one issued and outstanding EuroZinc Share (other than those held by Dissenting Shareholders) shall be deemed to be transferred to Lundin Mining in exchange for 0.0952 Lundin Shares and $0.0001 in cash.

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions and other provisions set forth in the Plan of Arrangement, each EuroZinc Option will entitle the holder thereof to receive, in lieu of the number of EuroZinc Shares otherwise issuable upon the exercise thereof, the number of Lundin Shares which the holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement if, immediately prior to the Effective Time, such holder had been the registered holder of the number of EuroZinc Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise.

Immediately following the Effective Date EuroZinc will be a wholly owned Subsidiary of Lundin Mining. Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, promptly after the Effective Date and in all events within thirty (30) days, Lundin Mining will take all steps necessary to continue EuroZinc under the CBCA and amalgamate Lundin Mining with EuroZinc.

Certain of the existing directors and officers of EuroZinc will be the directors and officers of Lundin Mining following completion of the Arrangement. On the Effective Date, the board of directors of Lundin Mining shall be reconstituted such that it will consist of ten directors, five of which shall be nominated by Lundin Mining and five of which will be nominated by EuroZinc. It is anticipated that EuroZinc's nominees will be David Mullen, Don Charter, Dale Peniuk, Colin K. Benner and Graham Mascall and that Lundin Mining's nominees will be Lukas H. Lundin, Anthony O'Reilly, William A. Rand, Brian D. Edgar and John H. Craig.

It is further anticipated that following the Arrangement senior management of Lundin Mining will include, among others, Lukas Lundin as Chairman, Colin K. Benner as Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Karl-Axel Waplan as President and Chief Operating Officer.

The Plan of Arrangement is attached as Schedule A to the Arrangement Agreement, which is included in this Information Circular as Schedule H. Readers are encouraged to carefully review the Plan of Arrangement, as it contains the specific terms and conditions governing the Arrangement.

THE ARRANGEMENT AGREEMENT

The following is a description of the material terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement. The full text of the Arrangement Agreement, including the Plan of Arrangement attached as Schedule A thereto, is attached as Schedule H to the Circular. Lundin Shareholders are encouraged to read the Arrangement Agreement in its entirety.

General

The Arrangement Agreement is dated as of September 18, 2006, and is made among EuroZinc and Lundin Mining. Under the Arrangement each holder of EuroZinc Shares will be entitled to receive 0.0952 Lundin Shares and $0.0001 cash for each EuroZinc Share held on the terms set out in the Plan of Arrangement. Fractions of Lundin Shares will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

Treatment of EuroZinc Options

The Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement provide that each holder of a EuroZinc Option will be entitled to receive upon the subsequent exercise thereof in accordance with its terms, and shall accept in lieu of the number of EuroZinc Shares otherwise issuable upon such exercise, the number of Lundin Shares which such holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Arrangement if, immediately prior to the Effective Time, such holder had been the registered holder of the number of EuroZinc Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise.

The EuroZinc Options will continue to be governed by and be subject to the terms of the EuroZinc Share Option Plan and applicable agreements thereunder.

-27-

Amendment and Waiver

The Arrangement Agreement, including the Plan of Arrangement, may be amended by written agreement of the parties at any time before or after the EuroZinc Meeting or the Lundin Meeting, but not later than the Effective Date, without, subject to applicable law, further notice to or authorization on the part of the EuroZinc Shareholders or the Lundin Shareholders and any such amendment may, subject to applicable law or the Interim Order, without limitation, (i) change the time for performance of any of the obligations or acts of the parties, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in or modify any representation or warranty contained in the Arrangement Agreement or any document delivered pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, (iii) waive compliance with or modify any of the covenants contained in the Arrangement Agreement and waive or modify the performance of any of the obligations of the parties, and (iv) waive compliance with or modify any condition contained in the Arrangement Agreement (except that the terms of section 3.01(d) of the Plan of Arrangement, which provides for, among other things, the Exchange Ratio, cannot be amended without the approval of the EuroZinc Shareholders). If EuroZinc or Lundin Mining, as the case may be, proposes any amendment to the Arrangement Agreement or the Plan of Arrangement, the other must consider such amendment and, if it and its shareholders are not prejudiced by reason of such amendment, it is required to cooperate in ensuring that such amendment can be effected subject to applicable law and the rights of EuroZinc Shareholders.

Non-Solicitation

Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, EuroZinc and Lundin Mining have agreed that they will not, directly or indirectly, through any officer, director employee, representative or agent of such party or any of the subsidiaries of such party, or otherwise: (a) make, solicit, initiate, entertain or promote any inquiries or proposals regarding any Acquisition Proposal or potential Acquisition Proposal in respect of it; (b) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal or potential Acquisition Proposal in respect of it; (c) agree to, approve or recommend any Acquisition Proposal or potential Acquisition Proposal in respect of it; (d) enter into, or propose publicly to accept, any agreement related to any Acquisition Proposal or potential Acquisition Proposal in respect of it, or (e) make any


-28-

public announcement or take any action inconsistent with the recommendation of its directors to approve the Arrangement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing will prevent or restrict the directors of EuroZinc or Lundin Mining, as the case may be, (the "Target Party") from, prior to the approval of the Arrangement by the EuroZinc Shareholders, considering any unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal that may be a Superior Proposal or, in the event of a bona fide Acquisition Proposal that would be a Superior Proposal, from withdrawing, qualifying or changing their recommendation to their shareholders or entering into an agreement in respect of a Superior Proposal, in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, provided that the Acquisition Proposal did not result from a breach of the Agreement by the Target Party and if the directors of the Target Party determine in good faith after consulting with outside counsel that such action is required for such directors to comply with their fiduciary duties. Each of EuroZinc and Lundin Mining must within 24 hours notify the other of them (the "Non-Target Party") of any Acquisition Proposal which any director or officer thereof receives, any amendment to any of the foregoing or any request for non-public information relating thereto and must provide certain information to the other of them regarding such Acquisition Proposal.

If either Lundin Mining or EuroZinc receives a request for non-public information from a person who is considering making a bona fide Acquisition Proposal and the directors of such party determine that such proposal, if consummated in accordance with its terms, would constitute a Superior Proposal, those directors may, subject to the execution of a confidentiality agreement, provide such person with access to the requested information.

Superior Proposals

Until the later of the Completion Deadline and the date on which any amount required to be paid by the Target Party pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement has actually been received by the Non-Target Party, neither the Target Party nor the directors thereof can accept, approve, recommend or enter into any agreement in respect of an Acquisition Proposal on the basis that it would constitute a Superior Proposal, unless (a) the Target Party has provided the Non-Target Party with information about the Superior Proposal (with certain permitted deletions), and (b) five Business Days have elapsed from the later of the date on which the Non-Target Party received notice of the determination of the directors of the Target Party to accept, approve, recommend or enter into an agreement in respect of such Acquisition Proposal and the date on which the Non-Target Party received the requisite information concerning the Acquisition Proposal, and the Non-Target Party has not within such five Business Day period agreed to at least match the value per common share of the Target Party of such Superior Proposal determined in each case as of such later date by the directors of the Target Party in good faith.

If this Circular has been sent to the Lundin Shareholders prior to the expiry of the five Business Days referred to in the preceding paragraph and, during such time, EuroZinc requests in writing that the Meeting proceed, Lundin Mining shall take all reasonable steps necessary to hold the Meeting.

Termination and Break Fees

The Arrangement Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Date:

(a)    by the mutual consent of the parties;

(b)    by either party if:

(i)    the other has committed a material breach of the Arrangement Agreement

(ii)  a mutual condition or a condition in its favour is not satisfied or waived;


-29-

(iii)   the Effective Date is not on or before the Completion Deadline provided that neither Lundin Mining nor EuroZinc, as the case may be (the "Terminating Party") is entitled to terminate the Arrangement Agreement if the Effective Date is not on or before the Completion Deadline because the meeting of the shareholders of the Terminating Party has not been held due to the fault of the Terminating Party;

(iv)   the EuroZinc Meeting is held and completed and the EuroZinc Shareholders do not approve the Arrangement Resolution; or

(v)   the Lundin Meeting is held and completed and the Lundin Shareholders do not approve the Share Issue Resolution or the Lundin Post-Arrangement Matters;

(c)    by Lundin Mining if:

(i)     there is a Superior Proposal in respect of EuroZinc and the directors of EuroZinc withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Lundin Mining their approval or recommendation of the Arrangement, fail to reaffirm its approval of the Arrangement, or accept, approve or recommend, or enter into an agreement in respect of, any Superior Proposal;

(ii)   it determines that an Acquisition Proposal in respect of Lundin Mining constitutes a Superior Proposal; or

(d)    by EuroZinc if:

(i)     there is a Superior Proposal in respect of Lundin Mining and the directors of Lundin Mining withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to EuroZinc their approval of the Arrangement, fail to reaffirm its approval of the Arrangement, or accept, approve or recommend, or enter into an agreement in respect of, any Superior Proposal;

(ii)    it determines that an Acquisition Proposal in respect of EuroZinc constitutes a Superior Proposal.

If:

(a)   the Agreement is terminated by the Terminating Party because:

(i)    a mutual condition or condition in favour of the Terminating Party is not satisfied or waived,

(ii)   the Non-Terminating Party has committed a material breach of the Agreement; or

(b)    an Acquisition Proposal has been made to the Non-Terminating Party and made known to its shareholders and not publicly withdrawn prior to the meeting of such shareholders, and such shareholders do not approve the Arrangement and the Non-Terminating Party completes the Acquisition Proposal within nine months following the termination of the Agreement,

then the Non-Terminating Party shall pay to the Terminating Party an amount in cash equal to U.S. $40 million.

Expenses of the Arrangement

The Arrangement Agreement provides that each of EuroZinc and Lundin Mining is to pay its own expenses incurred in connection therewith and the completion of the transactions contemplated thereby.

REGULATORY MATTERS

European Anti-Trust Law

Lundin Mining has determined that it is not required to provide notification concerning the Combination to any European competition authorities.

Notice of Minister of Economy, Portugal

EuroZinc holds its interest in the Neves-Corvo copper/zinc mine in Portugal, indirectly, through its indirect 100% ownership of Sociedade Mineira de Neves-Corvo, S.A. ("Somincor"). Under the terms of an agreement (the "Concession Agreement") made between Somincor and the Portuguese State (the "Grantor") and dated June 18, 2004, the current shareholders of Somincor must maintain control of Somincor for the duration of the Concession, unless prior authorization of the Grantor is obtained.

The structure of the Combination will not necessarily result in a change in the control of Somincor, as EuroZinc Shareholders will continue to hold more than 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of Lundin Mining, the indirect parent of Somincor, after the Combination. Accordingly, EuroZinc will file a submission with the Minister of Economy, Portugal, providing details of the transaction. The submission will not constitute a formal request for authorization of a change of control, but will meet the requirements of such a request.

Notice of Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, Ireland

Lundin Mining holds its interest in the Galmoy Mine in Ireland, indirectly through it indirect 100% ownership of Galmoy Mines Limited. Under the terms of the Slate Mining Licenses relating to the Galmoy Mine, a change in more than 45% of the voting control of Galmoy Mines Limited requires the consent of the Minister of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, in Ireland.

The structure of the Combination will not necessarily result in a change of control of Galmoy Mines Limited as Lundin Mining AB, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lundin Mining, will continue to own 100% of Galmoy Mines Limited. Accordingly, Lundin Mining will file a letter with the Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources. The letter will not constitute a formal request for consent to a change of control, but rather will provide details of the Combination to the Department.

Issue and Resale of Lundin Shares

Canada

The issue of the Lundin Shares in connection with the Combination will be exempt from the prospectus and registration requirements of the securities legislation of the provinces and territories of Canada.

The first trade of Lundin Shares issued to a EuroZinc Shareholder in connection with the Combination will not be subject to any restricted or hold period in Canada if: (i) at the time of such first trade, Lundin Mining is a reporting issuer or the equivalent under the legislation of a jurisdiction in

Canada; (ii) no unusual effort is made to prepare the market or to create a demand for the Lundin Shares which are the subject of the trade; (iii) no extraordinary commission or consideration is paid to a person or company in respect of the trade; (iv) if the seller of the securities is an insider or officer of Lundin Mining, the seller has no reasonable grounds to believe that Lundin Mining is in default of any requirement of the applicable legislation; and (v) the first trade is not from the holdings of a person or company or a combination of persons or companies holding a sufficient number of any securities of Lundin Mining so as to affect materially the control of Lundin Mining (a holding by any person, company or combination of persons and/or companies of more than 20% of the outstanding voting securities of Lundin Mining being deemed, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, to affect materially the control of Lundin Mining).

United States

The Lundin Shares to be issued to holders of EuroZinc Shares are not required to be, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act. Such shares will be issued in reliance upon the exemption provided by section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act. Section 3(a)(10) exempts from the general registration requirement securities distributed to shareholders where the terms and conditions of the issue and exchange of such securities have been approved by any court of competent jurisdiction, after a hearing upon the fairness of the terms and conditions of the issue and exchange at which all persons to whom such securities will be issued have the right to appear. The Court is authorized to conduct a hearing to determine the fairness of the terms and conditions of the Arrangement, including the proposed issue of securities in exchange for other outstanding securities. See "The Arrangement — Court Approval and Completion of the Arrangement".

The Lundin Shares received by EuroZinc Shareholders pursuant to the Combination will be freely transferable under U.S. federal securities laws by those shareholders not deemed to be "affiliates" of Lundin Mining (as that term is defined in the U.S. Securities Act). An "affiliate" of Lundin Mining, as defined in rules under the U.S. Securities Act, is a person who directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, EuroZinc. Any subsequent transfer of Lundin Shares by any person who is an affiliate of Lundin Mining at the Effective Time will, under existing law, require either:

•       the registration under the U.S. Securities Act of the Lundin Shares to be transferred;

•       compliance with Rule 145 under the U.S. Securities Act (permitting sales during a three month period of the greater of (i) one percent of Lundin Shares outstanding or (ii) the average weekly reported volume of trading in Lundin Mining securities during the four calendar weeks preceding the affiliate's filing of a Form 144 (if required) assuming Lundin Mining is current in filing required reports and the securities are being sold in brokers' transactions), or

•       the availability of another exemption from registration.

These restrictions are expected to apply to the directors and officers of Lundin Mining and the holders of 10% or more of the EuroZinc Shares (and to specified relatives or the spouse of the person and any trusts, estates, corporations or other entities in which the person has a 10% or greater beneficial equity interest in Lundin Mining).

The Board of Directors
Lundin Mining Corporation
Suite 2101
855 West Georgia Street
Vancouver, British Columbia
V6C 3E8

Members of the Board of Directors:

Macquarie North America Ltd. ("Macquarie") understands that on August 21st Lundin Mining Corporation ("Lundin Mining") and EuroZinc Mining Corporation ("EuroZinc") announced a proposed merger transaction whereby Lundin Mining and EuroZinc propose to enter into an Arrangement Agreement (the "Agreement") pursuant to which Lundin Mining would agree to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of EuroZinc ("EuroZinc Shares") by way of a plan of arrangement transaction (the "Arrangement"). Macquarie understands that under the terms of the Agreement each holder of a EuroZinc Share will be entitled to receive 0.0952 of one common share of Lundin Mining (the "Lundin Mining Shares") and $0.0001 cash for each EuroZinc Share held by it (the "Consideration").

The Board of Directors (the "Board") of Lundin Mining has asked Macquarie whether, in its opinion, the Consideration is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Lundin Mining Shares.

Scope of Review

Macquarie has not been asked to, nor does it, offer any opinion as to the terms of the Agreement or the Arrangement (other than in respect of the Consideration as expressly set forth herein) or the form of the Agreement, the Arrangement or the documents related thereto.

In arriving at its opinion, Macquarie has, among other things:

(a)    Reviewed what it has been advised is the most recent draft of the Agreement and schedules thereto;

(b)    Reviewed certain publicly available financial and other information concerning Lundin Mining and EuroZinc that Macquarie deemed to be relevant for purposes of its analysis;


G-2

(c)    Reviewed certain historical financial information and operating data concerning Lundin Mining and EuroZinc which was provided by Lundin Mining and EuroZinc respectively;

(d)   Reviewed certain projected financial and operating information, including, without limitation, operational forecasts, financial forecasts and internal mine models, which was prepared and provided by Lundin Mining and EuroZinc, respectively (such information, the "Projections");

(e)   Conducted discussions with senior executives and managers of Lundin Mining and EuroZinc concerning the matters described in clauses (b), (c) and (d) above;

(f)    Reviewed historical market prices and valuation multiples for the Lundin Mining Shares and EuroZinc Shares and compared such prices and multiples with those of certain publicly traded companies that Macquarie deemed relevant for purposes of this analysis;

(g)   Reviewed the financial results of Lundin Mining and EuroZinc and compared them with publicly available financial data concerning certain publicly traded companies that Macquarie deemed to be relevant for purposes of its analysis;

(h)    Reviewed publicly available financial data for merger and acquisition transactions Macquarie deemed comparable for purposes of its analysis;

(i)     Compared the Consideration and its implied transaction value to the historical market prices of the EuroZinc Shares;

(j)     Compared the Consideration to the value per EuroZinc Share implied by analyses of market multiples of comparable companies, implied multiples paid in comparable transactions and net asset value analysis incorporating the discounted cash flow methodology;

(k)    Reviewed certain industry reports and statistics as deemed by Macquarie relevant for purposes of its analysis; and

(l)     Reviewed and considered such other financial, market, technical and industry information, discussions or analyses considered by Macquarie to be relevant and appropriate in the circumstances.

Assumptions and Limitations

Macquarie has relied upon, and has assumed the completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of all financial and other information, data, advice, opinions and representations obtained by Macquarie from public sources or information provided to Macquarie by Lundin Mining and EuroZinc and their respective affiliates and advisers or otherwise. Macquarie has not attempted to verify independently the accuracy or completeness of any such information, data, advice, opinions and representations. For purposes of rendering this opinion, Macquarie has assumed that, in all respects material to its analysis, the representations and warranties of Lundin Mining and EuroZinc contained in the Agreement are true, accurate and complete; Lundin Mining and EuroZinc will each perform all of the respective covenants and agreements to be performed by them under the Agreement; and all conditions to the obligations of each of Lundin Mining and EuroZinc as specified in the Agreement will be satisfied without any waiver thereof. In rendering this opinion, Macquarie has assumed that the Agreement will be executed and delivered in the form of the draft reviewed by Macquarie and will not be amended, changed, modified or assigned. In addition, Macquarie has received and relied upon a letter of representation as to certain


G-3

factual matters and the completeness and accuracy of the information upon which this opinion is based, addressed to Macquarie and dated the date hereof, which was provided by senior officers of Lundin Mining and Macquarie has assumed that the representations therein are true, complete and accurate. With respect to the Projections, Macquarie has relied upon assurances of Lundin Mining and EuroZinc that such Projections have been prepared in good faith on a reasonable basis based on assumptions reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of Lundin Mining and EuroZinc and their respective advisors as to their future performance. This opinion is based, in large part, on these Projections. Actual results that may be achieved by Lundin Mining and EuroZinc may vary materially from the Projections used in this analysis. Macquarie has also assumed that all material governmental, regulatory, or other approvals and consents required in connection with the Agreement and the consummation of the acquisition of the EuroZinc Shares will be obtained and that in connection with obtaining any necessary governmental, regulatory, or other approvals and consents, no limitations, restrictions or conditions will be imposed that would adversely affect Lundin Mining or EuroZinc.

This opinion is rendered on the basis of securities markets, economic and general business and financial conditions prevailing as at the date hereof and the conditions and prospects, financial and otherwise, of Lundin Mining and EuroZinc as they are reflected in the information, data and other material (financial or otherwise) provided to Macquarie and reviewed by Macquarie.

In the analysis and in connection with the preparation of this opinion, Macquarie has made assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, market and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of any party involved in the Arrangement. Macquarie believes these assumptions to be reasonable with respect to Lundin Mining and EuroZinc, and the industry in which they currently operate, however, to the extent they are incorrect it may affect Macquarie's view as to the fairness of the Consideration.

This opinion is effective on the date hereof and Macquarie disclaims any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting this opinion that may come or be brought to the attention of Macquarie after the date hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, if there is any material change in any fact or matter affecting the opinion after the date hereof, Macquarie reserves the right to change, modify or withdraw the opinion. This opinion is addressed to and is for the sole use and benefit of the Board, and may not be referred to, summarized, circulated, publicized or reproduced by Lundin Mining or disclosed to, used or relied upon by any other party without the express prior written consent of Macquarie. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Lundin Mining may include a copy of this opinion, together with a summary thereof, in the management proxy circular to be sent to Lundin Mining shareholders in advance of its meeting of shareholders called to consider the Arrangement. Except as provided in this paragraph, Macquarie Bank Limited, its direct and indirect subsidiaries (including Macquarie North America Ltd.) and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors do not accept any responsibility or liability whatsoever for any loss, claim, damage, cost or expense arising as a consequence of acting on or of reliance upon the information or any statement or opinion contained in this opinion.

In connection with the preparation of this opinion, Macquarie has not been asked, or authorized, to solicit or investigate alternative transactions which might be available to Lundin Mining. Accordingly, Macquarie does not express any view as to whether any such alternative might be available or the possible terms thereof, and its opinion does not take into consideration the possibility of any such alternative transaction. This opinion addresses only the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Consideration and does not address the relative merits of the Agreement, the Arrangement, the decision of the holders of the EuroZinc Shares to accept the Consideration, any other aspects of the Agreement or the Arrangement or any alternatives to the Agreement or the Arrangement. This opinion does not constitute, nor should it be construed as, a recommendation as to whether the holders of Lundin Mining Shares should vote the Lundin Mining Shares in favour of the Arrangement. In addition, Macquarie has not been


G-4

asked to address, and this opinion does not address, the fairness to, or any other consideration of, the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of Lundin Mining, other than the holders of Lundin Mining Shares. In addition, this opinion does not address the tax consequences of the Agreement or the Arrangement to the holders of the Lundin Mining Shares.

Macquarie believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses or the factors considered by Macquarie, without considering all factors and analyses together, could create a misleading view of the process underlying the opinion. The preparation of an opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Any attempt to do so could lead to undue emphasis on any particular factor or analysis.

Engagement of Macquarie North America Ltd.

Pursuant to an engagement letter signed June 14, 2006 (the "Engagement Letter"), Lundin Mining retained the services of Macquarie for the purpose of, among other things, providing advice and assistance in evaluating a potential transaction with EuroZinc.

The services of Macquarie under the Engagement Letter included, among other things, providing advice and assistance to Lundin Mining in connection with the Arrangement and the preparation and delivery to the Board of this opinion. Lundin Mining has agreed to pay Macquarie a fee for its financial advisory services in connection with the Arrangement as set forth in the Engagement Letter, of which substantially all is contingent upon the consummation of Lundin Mining's acquisition of the EuroZinc Shares. Lundin Mining has also agreed to reimburse Macquarie for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and to indemnify Macquarie and its related parties against liabilities arising in connection with its services under the Engagement Letter. In addition, Lundin Mining has agreed to pay Macquarie a fee for rendering this opinion, no portion of which is conditioned upon this opinion being favourable.

Macquarie and its affiliates in the past have provided, are currently providing and may in the future provide investment banking and other financial services to Lundin Mining and EuroZinc and their respective affiliates, for which Macquarie and its affiliates have received, and expect to receive, compensation. In the normal course of its business, Macquarie and its affiliates both as principal and agent may trade the securities of Lundin Mining and EuroZinc for their own account or for the account of their customers, and therefore, may hold long or short positions in Lundin Mining or EuroZinc.

Conclusion

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and such other matters as Macquarie considered relevant, Macquarie is of the opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Consideration is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of the Lundin Mining Shares.

Yours very truly,

MACQUARIE NORTH AMERICA LTD.

Except as otherwise disclosed in the EuroZinc Disclosure Letter, all of the outstanding shares of the EuroZinc Material Subsidiaries are owned, directly or indirectly, by EuroZinc.

Section 6.01 EuroZinc Covenant Regarding Non-Solicitation

(a)    EuroZinc shall not, directly or indirectly, through any officer, director, employee, representative, advisor or agent of EuroZinc or any of the EuroZinc Material Subsidiaries, or otherwise:

(i)     make, solicit, initiate, facilitate, entertain, encourage or promote (including by way of furnishing information or entering into any form of agreement, arrangement or understanding) any inquiries or proposals regarding, constituting or that may reasonably be expected to lead to a EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal or potential EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal;

(ii)   participate, directly or indirectly, in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person any information or otherwise co-operate with, respond to, assist or participate in, any EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal or potential EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal;

H- 53

recommend any EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal or potential EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal;

(iv) accept, enter into, or propose publicly to accept or enter into, any agreement, understanding or arrangement related to any EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal or potential EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal;

(v)   make any public announcement or take any other action inconsistent with, or which could reasonably be likely to be regarded as detracting from, the recommendation of the directors of EuroZinc to approve the transactions contemplated hereto in Article 6,

provided, however, that, notwithstanding the preceding part of this subsection 6.01(a), but subject to the following provisions of Article 6 of this Agreement, nothing shall prevent or restrict the directors of EuroZinc from, prior to the approval of the Arrangement by EuroZinc Shareholders, considering or negotiating any unsolicited bona fide EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal that would be a EuroZinc Superior Proposal or, in the event of a bona fide EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal that would be a EuroZinc Superior Proposal, from withdrawing, modifying, qualifying or changing its recommendation to the EuroZinc Shareholders in respect of the Arrangement contemplated hereby, or from approving, recommending to the EuroZinc Shareholders or entering into an agreement in respect of a EuroZinc Superior Proposal from any person in accordance with the provisions of the following subsections of this Article 6 but in each case only if the EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal did not result from a breach of this Agreement by EuroZinc and if the directors of EuroZinc determine in good faith after consulting with outside counsel (which may include written opinions or advice, copies of which shall have been provided to Lundin) that such action is required for such directors to comply with fiduciary duties under applicable law.

(b)   EuroZinc acknowledges that, other than as stated in the EuroZinc Disclosure Letter, it has not entered into any confidentiality agreements with any third parties since December 31, 2005 and it is not currently engaged in any discussions or negotiations with any parties (other than Lundin) in connection with any proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to constitute, a EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal and it shall, and shall cause the officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents of EuroZinc and the EuroZinc Material Subsidiaries to, continue to not have discussions or negotiations with any parties (other than Lundin) with respect to any proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to constitute, a EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal. EuroZinc agrees not to release any third party from any confidentiality agreement relating to a potential EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal to which such third party is a party. EuroZinc further agrees not to release any third party from any standstill agreement or provision to which such third party is a party, except where the directors of EuroZinc determine in good faith after consulting with outside counsel (which may include written opinions or advice, copies of which shall have been provided to Lundin) that such action is required for such directors to comply with fiduciary duties under applicable law.

(c)   Within 24 hours of the receipt by any director or officer of EuroZinc of any EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal, or any amendment to the foregoing, or any request for non-public information relating to EuroZinc or any of the EuroZinc Material Subsidiaries in connection with any potential EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal or for access to the properties, books or records of EuroZinc or any of the EuroZinc Material Subsidiaries by


H- 54

        any person that informs EuroZinc or any of the EuroZinc Material Subsidiaries that it is considering making, or has made, a EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal, EuroZinc shall notify Lundin thereof, at first orally and then, as soon as possible thereafter, in writing. Such written notice shall include the identity of the person(s) making such proposal and all material terms and conditions of the EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal and provide such other details of the EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or contact as Lundin may reasonably request.

(d)   If EuroZinc receives a request for material non-public information from a person who is considering making or has made a bona fide EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal (the existence and content of which have been disclosed to Lundin), and the directors of EuroZinc determine that such proposal would be, if consummated in accordance with its terms, a EuroZinc Superior Proposal or does constitute a EuroZinc Superior Proposal and EuroZinc is permitted, subject to and as contemplated under this Section 6.01 then, and only in such case, the directors of EuroZinc may, subject to the execution of a confidentiality agreement on terms which are not more favourable to the person making or considering making the EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal than those set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement and providing for a standstill agreement other than to effect a EuroZinc Superior Proposal, provide such person with access to information regarding EuroZinc; provided, however, that the person who is considering making the EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal shall not be precluded thereunder from making the EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal, and provided further that EuroZinc sends a copy of any such confidentiality agreement to Lundin immediately upon the execution thereof and Lundin is provided with a list of or a copy of the information, if any, provided to such person that was not previously provided to Lundin and Lundin is immediately provided with access to similar information.

(e)   EuroZinc shall ensure that its officers, directors and employees and any financial advisors or other advisors or representatives retained by EuroZinc are aware of the provisions of this section 6.01, and EuroZinc shall be responsible for any material breach of this section 6.01 by its financial advisors or other advisors or representatives.

(f)    Nothing in the Agreement shall be interpreted to extend to acts or omissions of any person acting in his capacity as a director of EuroZinc or otherwise to fetter the proper exercise of discretion by such person. Without limitation nothing in this Section 6.01 shall preclude EuroZinc from providing information or otherwise responding to an unsolicited proposal with respect to a EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal if to do so would, in the opinion of the board of directors of EuroZinc, acting reasonably, be a proper exercise of the director's fiduciary duties.

Section 6.02 Notice of EuroZinc Superior Proposal Determination

(a)   EuroZinc and the directors of EuroZinc shall not accept, approve, recommend or enter into any agreement in respect of a EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement and a standstill agreement contemplated by subsection 6.01(d) hereof) on the basis that it would constitute a EuroZinc Superior Proposal, unless (i) EuroZinc has complied with its obligations under Section 6.01 and the other provisions of this Article 6, (ii) it has provided Lundin with the information about such EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal as required under subsection 6.01(c) which the directors of EuroZinc have determined would be a EuroZinc Superior Proposal pursuant to subsection 6.01(a) hereof, and (iii) five Business Days shall have elapsed from the later


H- 55

        of the date Lundin received notice of the determination of the directors of EuroZinc to accept, approve, recommend or enter into an agreement in respect of such EuroZinc Superior Proposal and the date Lundin received the documents pursuant to subsection 6.01 (c) hereof.

(b)   During the five Business Days referred to in subsection 6.02(a) hereof, Lundin shall have the opportunity, but not the obligation, to offer in writing to amend the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement. The directors of EuroZinc shall review any offer by Lundin to amend the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement in order to determine in good faith, as of the later of the dates referred to in subsection 6.02(a) hereof, whether the offer of Lundin upon acceptance by EuroZinc would at least match the value per EuroZinc Common Share of the EuroZinc Superior Proposal. If the directors of EuroZinc so determine, EuroZinc shall enter into an amended agreement with Lundin reflecting the amended proposal of Lundin and will promptly reaffirm its recommendation of the Arrangement as amended.

(c)   EuroZinc acknowledges and agrees that each successive modification of any EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal shall constitute a new EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal for purposes of the requirement under subsection 6.02(a) hereof and shall initiate an additional five Business Day period.

        If the EuroZinc Proxy Circular has been sent to EuroZinc Shareholders prior to the expiry of the five Business Day period set forth in subsection 6.02(a) and, during such period, Lundin requests in writing that the EuroZinc Meeting proceed, unless otherwise ordered by the Court, EuroZinc shall continue to take all reasonable steps necessary to hold the EuroZinc Meeting and to cause the Arrangement to be voted on at the EuroZinc Meeting.

        In addition, for greater certainty, if Lundin and EuroZinc do not enter into an amended agreement pursuant to this Section 6.02 in respect of a EuroZinc Superior Proposal, and Lundin requests in writing that the EuroZinc Meeting proceed, unless otherwise ordered by the Court, EuroZinc shall continue to take all reasonable steps necessary to hold the EuroZinc Meeting and to cause the Arrangement to be voted on at the EuroZinc Meeting.

Section 6.03 Break Fee Event

In the event that (each of the events below being a "Triggering Event"):

(i)     this Agreement is terminated by Lundin pursuant to subsection 7.03(c) hereof by virtue of EuroZinc's failure to satisfy a condition contained in section 5.03(a), (b), (c), (e) or (f);

(ii)   this Agreement is terminated by Lundin pursuant to subsection 7.03(b) hereof due to EuroZinc having breached its obligations under subsections 6.01 or 6.02 in any material respect;

(iii)  this Agreement is terminated by Lundin pursuant to subsection 7.03(b) hereof through the fault (whether by commission or omission unless such commission or omission is ordered by the Court) of EuroZinc failing to submit the Arrangement for approval to the EuroZinc Shareholders, in accordance with the


H- 56

        terms of this Agreement, on or prior to the date which is five Business Days prior to the Completion Deadline except where such failure is due to an order of a Governmental Entity or failing to solicit proxies in accordance with paragraph 4.01 (b)(iii) hereof, subject to the provisions of section 4.01 hereof, or

(iv)  a EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal shall have been made to EuroZinc and made known to EuroZinc Shareholders generally or shall have been made directly to EuroZinc Shareholders generally or any person shall have publicly announced an intention to make a EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal in respect of EuroZinc (a "Pending EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal") and such Pending EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal or announced intention shall not have been publicly withdrawn prior to the EuroZinc Meeting and, thereafter, the EuroZinc Shareholders do not approve the Arrangement at the EuroZinc Meeting, this Agreement is terminated by either Lundin or EuroZinc pursuant to subsection 7.03(d) hereof and EuroZinc completes a EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal with the party or parties who announced the Pending EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal within nine months following the termination of this Agreement,

         then EuroZinc shall pay to Lundin in the circumstances set forth in subsections 6.03(i), (ii) or (iii) above, at the time of the termination of this Agreement, and, in the circumstances set forth in Subsection 6.03(iv) above, within five days following the completion of such Pending EuroZinc Acquisition Proposal, an amount in cash equal to U.S. $40 million, in immediately available funds. EuroZinc shall not be obligated to make more than one payment pursuant to this Section 6.03. EuroZinc hereby acknowledges that the payment amount set out in this section is a payment of liquidated damages which are a genuine pre-estimate of the damages which Lundin will suffer or incur as a result of the event giving rise to such damages and the resultant noncompletion of the Arrangement and are not penalties. EuroZinc hereby irrevocably waives any right it may have to raise as a defence that any such liquidated damages are excessive or punitive. Upon receipt of payment of the amount set out in this subsection by Lundin, Lundin shall have no further claim against EuroZinc in respect of the failure to complete the Arrangement, provided that nothing herein shall preclude Lundin from seeking injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach by EuroZinc of any of its obligations hereunder or otherwise to obtain specific performance without the necessity of posting a bond or security in connection therewith.

Section 6.04 Lundin Covenant Regarding Non-Solicitation

(a)     Lundin shall not, directly or indirectly, through any officer, director, employee, representative, advisor or agent of Lundin or any of the Lundin Material Subsidiaries, or otherwise:

(i)     make, solicit, initiate, facilitate, entertain, encourage or promote (including by way of furnishing information or entering into any form of agreement, arrangement or understanding) any inquiries or proposals regarding, constituting or that may reasonably be expected to lead to an Lundin Acquisition Proposal or potential Lundin Acquisition Proposal;

(ii)    participate, directly or indirectly, in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person any information or otherwise co-operate with, respond to, assist or participate in, any Lundin Acquisition Proposal or potential Lundin Acquisition Proposal;

 


H- 57

(iii)   agree to, approve or recommend, or propose publicly to agree to, approve or recommend any Lundin Acquisition Proposal or potential Lundin Acquisition Proposal;

(iv)  accept, enter into, or propose publicly to accept or enter into, any agreement, understanding or arrangement related to any Lundin Acquisition Proposal or potential Lundin Acquisition Proposal;

(v)   make any public announcement or take any other action inconsistent with, or which could reasonably be likely to be regarded as detracting from, the recommendation of the directors of Lundin to approve the transactions contemplated hereto in Article 6,

provided, however, that, notwithstanding the preceding part of this subsection 6.04(a), but subject to the following provisions of Article 6 of this Agreement, nothing shall prevent or restrict the directors of Lundin from, prior to the approval of the Arrangement by Lundin Shareholders, considering or negotiating any unsolicited bona fide Lundin Acquisition Proposal that would be a Lundin Superior Proposal or, in the event of a bona fide Lundin Acquisition Proposal that would be a Lundin Superior Proposal, from withdrawing, modifying, qualifying or changing its recommendation to the Lundin Shareholders in respect of the Arrangement contemplated hereby, or from approving, recommending to the Lundin Shareholders or entering into an agreement in respect of a Lundin Superior Proposal from any person in accordance with the provisions of the following subsections of this Article 6 but in each case only if the Lundin Acquisition Proposal did not result from a breach of this Agreement by Lundin and if the directors of Lundin determine in good faith after consulting with outside counsel (which may include written opinions or advice, copies of which shall have been provided to EuroZinc) that such action is required for such directors to comply with fiduciary duties under applicable law.

(b)   Lundin acknowledges that, other than as stated in the Lundin Disclosure Letter, it has not entered into any confidentiality agreements with any third parties since December 31, 2005 and it is not currently engaged in any discussions or negotiations with any parties (other than EuroZinc) in connection with any proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to constitute, a Lundin Acquisition Proposal and it shall, and shall cause the officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents of Lundin and the Lundin Material Subsidiaries to, continue to not have discussions or negotiations with any parties (other than EuroZinc) with respect to any proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to constitute, a Lundin Acquisition Proposal. Lundin agrees not to release any third party from any confidentiality agreement relating to a potential Lundin Acquisition Proposal to which such third party is a party. Lundin further agrees not to release any third party from any standstill agreement or provision to which such third party is a party, except where the directors of Lundin determine in good faith after consulting with outside counsel (which may include written opinions or advice, copies of which shall have been provided to EuroZinc) that such action is required for such directors to comply with fiduciary duties under applicable law.


H- 58

(c)   Within 24 hours of the receipt by any director or officer of Lundin of any Lundin Acquisition Proposal, or any amendment to the foregoing, or any request for non-public information relating to Lundin or any of the Lundin Material Subsidiaries in connection with any potential Lundin Acquisition Proposal or for access to the properties, books or records of Lundin or any of the Lundin Material Subsidiaries by any person that informs Lundin or any of the Lundin Material Subsidiaries that it is considering making, or has made, a Lundin Acquisition Proposal, Lundin shall notify EuroZinc thereof, at first orally and then, as soon as possible thereafter, in writing. Such written notice shall include the identity of the person(s) making such proposal and all material terms and conditions of the Lundin Acquisition Proposal and provide such other details of the Lundin Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or contact as EuroZinc may reasonably request.

(d)    If Lundin receives a request for material non-public information from a person who is considering making or has made a bona fide Lundin Acquisition Proposal (the existence and content of which have been disclosed to EuroZinc), and the directors of Lundin determine that such proposal would be, if consummated in accordance with its terms, a Lundin Superior Proposal or does constitute a Lundin Superior Proposal and Lundin is permitted, subject to and as contemplated under this Section 6.04 then, and only in such case, the directors of Lundin may, subject to the execution of a confidentiality agreement on terms which are not more favourable to the person making or considering making the Lundin Acquisition Proposal than those set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement and providing for a standstill agreement other than to effect a Lundin Superior Proposal, provide such person with access to information regarding Lundin; provided, however, that the person who is considering making the Lundin Acquisition Proposal shall not be precluded thereunder from making the Lundin Acquisition Proposal, and provided further that Lundin sends a copy of any such confidentiality agreement to EuroZinc immediately upon the execution thereof and EuroZinc is provided with a list of or a copy of the information, if any, provided to such person that was not previously provided to EuroZinc and EuroZinc is immediately provided with access to similar information.

(e)    Lundin shall ensure that its officers, directors and employees and any financial advisors or other advisors or representatives retained by Lundin are aware of the provisions of this section 6.04, and Lundin shall be responsible for any material breach of this section 6.04 by its financial advisors or other advisors or representatives.

(f)     Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted to extend to acts or omissions of any person acting in his capacity as a director of Lundin or otherwise to fetter the proper exercise of discretion by such person. Without limitation nothing in this Section 6.01 shall preclude Lundin from providing information or otherwise responding to an unsolicited proposal with respect to a Lundin Acquisition Proposal if to do so would, in the opinion of the board of directors of Lundin, acting reasonably, be a proper exercise of the director's fiduciary duties.

Section 6.05 Notice of Lundin Superior Proposal Determination

(a)    Lundin and the directors of Lundin shall not accept, approve, recommend or enter into any agreement in respect of a Lundin Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement and a standstill agreement contemplated by subsection 6.04(d) hereof) on the basis that it would constitute a Lundin Superior Proposal, unless (i) Lundin has complied with its obligations under Section 6.04 and the other provisions of this Article 6, (ii) it has provided EuroZinc with the information about such Lundin Acquisition Proposal as


H- 59

        required under subsection 6.04(c) which the directors of Lundin have determined would be a Lundin Superior Proposal pursuant to subsection 6.04(a) hereof, and (iii) five Business Days shall have elapsed from the later of the date EuroZinc received notice of the determination of the directors of Lundin to accept, approve, recommend or enter into an agreement in respect of such Lundin Superior Proposal and the date EuroZinc received the documents pursuant to subsection 6.04(c) hereof.

(b)   During the five Business Days referred to in subsection 6.05(a) hereof, EuroZinc shall have the opportunity, but not the obligation, to offer in writing to amend the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement. The directors of Lundin shall review any offer by EuroZinc to amend the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement in order to determine in good faith, as of the later of the dates referred to in subsection 6.05(a) hereof, whether the offer of EuroZinc upon acceptance by Lundin would at least match the value per Lundin Common Share of the Lundin Superior Proposal. If the directors of Lundin so determine, Lundin shall enter into an amended agreement with EuroZinc reflecting the amended proposal of EuroZinc and will promptly reaffirm its recommendation of the Arrangement as amended.

(c)   Lundin acknowledges and agrees that each successive modification of any Lundin Acquisition Proposal shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of the requirement under subsection 6.05(a) hereof and shall initiate an additional five Business Day period.

        If the Lundin Proxy Circular has been sent to Lundin Shareholders prior to the expiry of the five Business Day period set forth in subsection 6.05(a) and, during such period, EuroZinc requests in writing that the Lundin Meeting proceed, Lundin shall continue to take all reasonable steps necessary to hold the Lundin Meeting and to cause the Arrangement to be voted on at the Lundin Meeting.

ARTICLE TWO
ARRANGEMENT AGREEMENT

Section 2.01 Arrangement Agreement

This Plan of Arrangement is made pursuant to, and is subject to the provisions of, the Arrangement Agreement.

ARTICLE THREE
ARRANGEMENT

Section 3.01 Arrangement

At the Effective Time, the following shall occur, and shall be deemed to occur in the following order, without any further act or formality:

(a)   each EuroZinc Common Share in respect of which Dissent Procedures have been exercised shall be deemed to be transferred by the holder thereof, without any further act or formality on its part, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, to Lundin, with Lundin being obliged to pay therefor the amount determined and payable in accordance with Article 4 hereof, and the name of such holder will be removed from the register of holders of EuroZinc Common Shares and Lundin will be recorded as the registered holder of the EuroZinc Common Shares so transferred and will be deemed to be the legal and beneficial owner of such EuroZinc Common Shares;

(b)    all EuroZinc Common Shares held by Former EuroZinc Shareholders (other than Lundin or any Dissenting Shareholders) shall be exchanged with Lundin for Lundin Common Shares on the basis of 0.0952 of a Lundin Common Share and $0.0001 in cash for each EuroZinc Common Share, subject to sections 3.03, 3.04 and 4.01 hereof;

(c)   (i) each EuroZinc Option shall entitle the holder thereof to receive (and such holder shall accept) upon the exercise thereof, in lieu of the number of EuroZinc Common Shares otherwise issuable upon the exercise thereof, the number of Lundin Common Shares which the holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Plan of Arrangement if, immediately prior to the Effective Time, such holder had been the registered holder of the number of EuroZinc Common Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise, and (ii) such EuroZinc Option shall otherwise continue to be governed by and be subject to the terms of the EuroZinc Share Option Plan and applicable agreement thereunder. If the adjustment to the EuroZinc Options contemplated by this paragraph results in a disposition of EuroZinc Options for options to acquire Lundin Common Shares or "new" EuroZinc Options, it is intended that the provisions of subsection 7(1.4) of the Tax Act apply to any such disposition. Therefore, in the event that the amount, if any, by which the total value (determined immediately after the Effective Time) of the Lundin Common Shares that a holder is entitled to acquire at and from the Effective Time exceeds the amount payable to acquire such shares (the "Lundin Option In-the-Money Amount"), exceeds the amount by which the total value (determined immediately before the Effective Time) of the EuroZinc Common Shares that the holder was entitled to acquire immediately before the


H- 71

        Effective Time exceeds the amount payable to acquire such shares (the "EuroZinc Option In-the-Money Amount"), the number of Lundin Common Shares which may be acquired at and after the Effective Time will be adjusted accordingly with effect at and from the Effective Time to ensure that the Lundin Option In-the Money Amount does not exceed the EuroZinc Option In-the-Money Amount and the ratio of the amount payable to acquire such shares to the value of such shares to be acquired shall be unchanged.

Section 3.02 Post-Effective Time Procedures

(a)    On or promptly after the Effective Date, Lundin shall deliver or arrange to be delivered to the Depositary certificates representing the Lundin Common Shares and the cash consideration required to be issued to Former EuroZinc Shareholders in accordance with the provisions of section 3.01 hereof, which certificates and cash consideration shall be held by the Depositary as agent and nominee for such Former EuroZinc Shareholders for distribution to such Former EuroZinc Shareholders in accordance with the provisions of Article 5 hereof.

(b)   Subject to the provisions of Article 5 hereof, Former EuroZinc Shareholders shall be entitled to receive delivery of the certificates representing the Lundin Common Shares and the cash consideration to which they are entitled pursuant to subsection 3.01(b) hereof.

(c)    A Former EuroZinc Shareholder who is an Eligible Holder and who has exchanged EuroZinc Common Shares pursuant to the Arrangement shall be entitled to make an income tax election, pursuant to section 85 of the Tax Act (and any analogous provisions of provincial income tax law) with respect to such exchange by providing two signed copies of the necessary election forms to an appointed representative, as directed by EuroZinc or Lundin, within 90 days following the Effective Date, duly completed with the details of the number of shares transferred and the applicable agreed amounts for the purposes of such elections. Thereafter, subject to such election forms complying with requirements imposed under the Tax Act (or applicable provincial income tax law), such forms shall be signed and returned to such former EuroZinc Shareholder within 90 days after the receipt thereof by Lundin or any successor corporation for filing with the Canada Revenue Agency (or the applicable provincial tax authority). Lundin or any successor corporation shall not be responsible for the proper completion of any election form and, except for the obligation to sign and return duly completed election forms which are received within 90 days of the Effective Date, Lundin or any successor will not be responsible for any taxes, interest or penalties resulting from the failure of a Former EuroZinc Shareholder to properly complete or file such election forms in the form and manner and within the time prescribed by the Tax Act (or any applicable provincial legislation). In its sole discretion, Lundin or any successor corporation may choose to sign and return an election form received by it more than 90 days following the Effective Date, but will have no obligation to do so.

Section 3.03 No Fractional Lundin Common Shares

        No fractional Lundin Common Shares shall be issued to Former EuroZinc Shareholders. Any fractional number of Lundin Common Shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.


H- 72

Section 3.04 Fractional Cash Consideration

Any cash consideration owing to a Former EuroZinc Shareholder shall be rounded up to the next whole cent.

ARTICLE FOUR
DISSENT PROCEDURES

Section 4.01 Dissent Procedures

       Holders of EuroZinc Common Shares may exercise Dissent Procedures in accordance with section 242 of the BCBCA with respect to EuroZinc Common Shares in connection with the Arrangement, provided that the written notice of dissent contemplated by section 242 of the BCBCA must be received by EuroZinc not later than 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on the day that is two Business Days immediately prior to the date of the EuroZinc Meeting and provided further that holders who exercise such rights of dissent and who:

(a)    are ultimately entitled to be paid fair value for their EuroZinc Common Shares, which fair value, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, shall be deemed to be determined as of the close of business on the day before the Final Order becomes effective, shall be paid an amount equal to such fair value by Lundin; and

(b)   are ultimately not entitled, for any reason, to be paid fair value for their EuroZinc Common Shares shall be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement, as of the Effective Time, on the same basis as a non-dissenting holder of EuroZinc Common Shares and shall be entitled to receive only the consideration contemplated in subsection 3.01(b) hereof which such holder would have received pursuant to the Arrangement if such holder had not exercised Dissent Procedures,

but further provided that in no case shall Lundin, EuroZinc or any other person be required to recognize Dissenting Shareholders as holders of EuroZinc Common Shares at and after the Effective Time, and the names of such Dissenting Shareholders shall be deleted from the register of holders of EuroZinc Common Shares as of the Effective Time.

ARTICLE FIVE
DELIVERY OF LUNDIN COMMON SHARES

Section 5.01 Delivery of Lundin Common Shares and Cash Consideration

(a)   Upon surrender to the Depositary for cancellation of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding EuroZinc Common Shares which were exchanged for Lundin Common Shares and the cash consideration in accordance with section 3.01 hereof, together with such other documents and instruments as would have been required to effect the transfer of the EuroZinc Common Shares formerly represented by such certificate under the BCBCA and the articles of EuroZinc and such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, the holder of such surrendered certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Depositary shall deliver to such holder following the Effective Time, a certificate representing the Lundin Common Shares and a cheque in the amount of the


H- 73

        cash consideration which such holder is entitled to receive in accordance with section 3.02 hereof.

(b)  After the Effective Time and until surrendered for cancellation as contemplated by subsection 5.01(a) hereof, each certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more EuroZinc Common Shares shall be deemed at all times to represent only the right to receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing the Lundin Common Shares and the cash consideration which the holder of such certificate is entitled to receive in accordance with section 3.02 hereof.

Section 5.02 Lost Certificates

In the event that any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding EuroZinc Common Shares which were exchanged for Lundin Common Shares and the cash consideration in accordance with section 3.01 hereof shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Depositary shall deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, a certificate representing the Lundin Common Shares and the cash consideration which such holder is entitled to receive in accordance with section 3.02 hereof. When authorizing such delivery of a certificate representing the Lundin Common Shares and a cheque in the amount of the cash consideration which such holder is entitled to receive in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the holder to whom a certificate representing such Lundin Common Shares and a cheque in the amount of the cash consideration is to be delivered shall, as a condition precedent to the delivery of such Lundin Common Shares and the cash consideration, give a bond satisfactory to Lundin and the Depositary in such amount as Lundin and the Depositary may direct, or otherwise indemnify Lundin and the Depositary in a manner satisfactory to Lundin and the Depositary, against any claim that may be made against Lundin or the Depositary with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed and shall otherwise take such actions as may be required by the articles of EuroZinc.

Section 5.03 Distributions with Respect to Unsurrendered Certificates

No dividend or other distribution declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Lundin Common Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the holder of any unsurrendered certificate which, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented outstanding EuroZinc Common Shares unless and until the holder of such certificate shall have complied with the provisions of section 5.01 or section 5.02 hereof. Subject to applicable law and to section 5.04 hereof, at the time of such compliance, there shall, in addition to the delivery of a certificate representing the Lundin Common Shares and the cash consideration to which such holder is thereby entitled, be delivered to such holder, without interest, the amount of the dividend or other distribution with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect such Lundin Common Shares.


H- 74

Section 5.04 Withholding Rights

Lundin and the Depositary shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from all dividends or other distributions otherwise payable to any Former EuroZinc Shareholder such amounts as Lundin or the Depositary is required or permitted to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under the Tax Act, the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or any provision of any applicable federal, provincial, state, local or foreign tax law, in each case, as amended. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the Former EuroZinc Shareholder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, provided that such withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate taxing authority.

Section 5.05 Limitation and Proscription

To the extent that a Former EuroZinc Shareholder shall not have complied with the provisions of section 5.01 or section 5.02 hereof on or before the date which is six years after the Effective Date (the "final proscription date"), then the Lundin Common Shares which such Former EuroZinc Shareholder was entitled to receive shall be automatically cancelled without any repayment of capital in respect thereof and the certificates representing such Lundin Common Shares shall be delivered to Lundin by the Depositary for cancellation and shall be cancelled by Lundin, and the interest of the Former EuroZinc Shareholder in such Lundin Common Shares shall be terminated as of such final proscription date.

ARTICLE SIX
AMENDMENTS

Section 6.01 Amendments to Plan of Arrangement

(a)    Lundin and EuroZinc reserve the right to amend, modify or supplement this Plan of Arrangement at any time and from time to time, provided that each such amendment, modification or supplement must be (i) set out in writing, (ii) agreed to in writing by Lundin and EuroZinc, (iii) filed with the Court and, if made following the EuroZinc Meeting, approved by the Court, and (iv) communicated to Former EuroZinc Shareholders if and as required by the Court.

(b)   Any amendment, modification or supplement to this Plan of Arrangement may be proposed by EuroZinc at any time prior to the EuroZinc Meeting provided that Lundin shall have consented thereto in writing, with or without any other prior notice or communication, and, if so proposed and accepted by the persons voting at the EuroZinc Meeting (other than as may be required under the Interim Order), shall become part of this Plan of Arrangement for all purposes.

(c)   Any amendment, modification or supplement to this Plan of Arrangement that is approved by the Court following the EuroZinc Meeting shall be effective only if (i) it is consented to in writing by each of Lundin and EuroZinc, and (ii) if required by the Court, it is consented to by holders of the EuroZinc Common Shares voting in the manner directed by the Court.

Compilation Report on Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements

To the Board of Directors of Lundin Mining Corporation

We have read the accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of Lundin Mining Corporation (the "Company" or "Lundin") as at June 30, 2006 and the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the six months then ended and for the year ended December 31, 2005, and have performed the following procedures:

1.     Compared the figures in the columns captioned "Lundin" to the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Lundin as at June 30, 2006 and for the six months then ended, the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005, and found them to be in agreement.

2.     Compared the figures in the columns captioned "EuroZinc" to the unaudited consolidated financial statements of EuroZinc Mining Corporation as at June 30, 2006 and for the six months then ended and the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005, and found them to be in agreement.

3.     Made enquiries of certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters about:

(a)   the basis for determination of the pro forma adjustments; and

(b)   whether the pro forma consolidated financial statements comply as to form in all material respects with securities acts of the provinces and territories of Canada (the "Acts") and the related regulations.

The officials:

(a)   described to us the basis for determination of the pro forma adjustments; and

(b)   stated that the pro forma consolidated financial statements comply as to form in all material respects with the securities acts of the provinces and territories of the Acts and related regulations.

KPMG LLP, a Canadian limited liability partnership is the Canadian
member firm of KPMG International, a Swiss cooperative.


I-2

4.      Read the notes to the pro forma consolidated financial statements, and found them to be consistent with the basis described to us for determination of the pro forma adjustments.

5.      Recalculated the application of the pro forma adjustments to the aggregate of the amounts in the columns captioned "Lundin" and "BuroZinc" as at June 30, 2006 and for the six months then ended, and "Lundin" and "EuroZinc" for the year ended December 31, 2005, and found the amounts in the column captioned "Pro Forma Lundin" to be arithmetically correct.

These pro forma consolidated financial statements are based on management's assumptions and adjustments which are inherently subjective. The foregoing procedures are substantially less than either an audit or a review, the objective of which is the expression of assurance with respect to management's assumptions, the pro forma adjustments, and the application of the adjustments to the historical financial information. Accordingly, we express no such assurance. The foregoing procedures would not necessarily reveal matters of significance to the pro forma consolidated financial statements, and we therefore make no representation about the sufficiency of the procedures for the purposes of a reader of such statements.

LUNDIN MINING CORPORATION

Notes to pro forma consolidated financial statements Unaudited - Tabular amounts are in thousands of US dollars

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements ("pro forma financial statements") of Lundin Mining Corporation (the "Company" or "Lundin") reflect the proposed combination between Lundin Mining Corporation and EuroZinc Mining Corporation and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada. These pro forma financial statements do not contain all the information required for annual financial statements. Accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the most recent annual and interim financial statements of the Company and the most recent annual and interim financial statements of EuroZinc Mining Corporation ("EuroZinc").

These pro forma financial statements have been prepared on the basis that Lundin is the acquirer and assuming that the arrangement between Lundin and EuroZinc (the "Arrangement") had been completed on January 1, 2005 for the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations and on June 30, 2006 for the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet.

These pro forma financial statements are not intended to reflect the financial position which would have resulted had the Arrangement actually been affected on June 30, 2006 or the results of operations had the transaction been effected on January 1, 2005. Further, the pro forma results of operations may not be indicative of future results.

2.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting policies used in the preparation of these pro forma financial statements are disclosed in Lundin's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005.

3.    PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

The Arrangement is accounted for using the purchase method whereby the Company's assets and liabilities are not revalued while EuroZinc's assets and liabilities are measured at their individual fair values on the date of the Arrangement and any difference between these fair values and the consideration paid for EuroZinc shares is recorded on the balance sheet as an unallocated purchase price.

The measurement of the purchase consideration in the pro forma financial statements is based on Lundin's stock price of Cdn$34.07, which was the weighted average closing share price two days before, the day of and two days after the day the Arrangement was announced on August 21, 2006.

The determination of the acquirer in the business combination, the allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities and the adjustments to the statement of operations as presented in these pro forma financial statements is preliminary and subject to change. In arriving at the fair values of assets and liabilities the Company has made assumptions, estimates and assessments which are based on available public information. The actual fair value of the assets and liabilities will be determined as of the date of the Arrangement and may differ materially from the amounts disclosed in the purchase price allocation set out in (b) below due to changes in the estimates of


I-7

the fair values of the assets and liabilities as more information is available for assessment. Once the allocation of the excess purchase price, along with the related potential tax effect, to the individual fair values of each asset and liabilities has been made, any remaining unallocated purchase price is allocated to goodwill and will be subject to an annual impairment test at a future date as determined by management.

Pro forma adjustments to consolidated balance sheet

The following pro forma adjustments have been made to the pro forma consolidated balance sheet as at June 30, 2006:

(a)   To record the purchase of EuroZinc shares

Issued 54,677,439 Lundin shares in exchange for EuroZinc shares

$1,667,138

Cash consideration ($0.01 per share per every 100 EuroZinc shares)

58

Estimated transaction fees and expenses

5,720

Total purchase price

$1,672,916

The number of Lundin shares issued to EuroZinc shareholders assumes that all in-the-money EuroZinc stock options were exercised prior to the Arrangement.

(b)   The following allocates the purchase price based on management's preliminary estimate of fair values after giving effect to (a) above:

      Proceeds from        
  EuroZinc Book   options Fair Value EuroZinc Fair
    Value   exercised Adjustments*   Value
                 
Current assets $ 231,992 $ 14,542 $ 15,555 $ 262,089
Property, plant and equipment   327,350   -   -   327,350
Other non-current assets   52,648   -   (1,322)   51,326
Unallocated purchase price   -   -   1,295,276   1,295,276
Total assets $ 611,990 $ 14,542 $ 1,309,509 $ 1,936,041
                 
                 
Current liabilities $ 103,240 $ - $ 7,700 $ 110,940
Other non-current liabilities   152,185   -   -   152,185
Total liabilities   255,425   -   7,700   263,125
                -
Net assets purchased $ 356,565 $ 14,542 $ 1,301,809 $ 1,672,916

* The adjustments relate to the fair value of concentrate inventory, write-off of deferred financing costs and an accrual for EuroZinc's transaction costs relating to the Arrangement.

(c)   Proceeds from the assumed exercise of in-the-money EuroZinc stock options.

(d)  To accrue $5,720 of estimated transaction and other completion costs.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements reflect the following adjustment as if the Arrangement had occurred on January 1, 2005.


I-8

(e)    Reclassifications have been made to mine closure fund on the pro forma consolidated balance sheets and to cost of sales, royalties, accretion of asset retirement obligations, depreciation, loss on derivative instruments and income taxes to the pro forma consolidated statement of operations to conform to the current presentation by each company.

4.      UNALLOCATED PURCHASE PRICE AND OTHER ITEMS NOT ADJUSTED

The adjustments made to the pro forma consolidated statements of operations reflect only those items which recur and do not include charges to income which are expected to occur immediately following the transaction. In addition, these statements do not give effect to operating efficiencies and cost savings that may result from the Arrangement.

Upon closing of the Arrangement the Company is required to fair value all of the assets and liabilities acquired. The final values allocated to the acquired assets will depend on the Company's view of, amongst other things, long term metal prices, exchange rates and reserves and resources at the date of the Arrangement. It is likely that the final purchase price will result in a significant increase in the carrying value of property, plant and equipment and related future income tax liability, which will result in an increase in depreciation charged over each asset's estimated useful life from that shown in the pro forma consolidated financial statements. For every $100 million allocated to the operating assets of Neves-Corvo, it is estimated that there would be a corresponding depreciation charge of $5.1 million ($4.0 million after tax) for the year ended December 31, 2005 and $2.4 million ($1.9 million after tax) for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and a reduction of $0.04 and $0.02 on the pro forma earnings per share for the respective periods.

Any excess of the purchase price paid over the amount allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired will be classified as goodwill, which, under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, will not be amortized but which the Company is required to allocate to its reporting units and test for impairment on an annual basis. The first impairment test will be performed at a future date as determined by management and there can be no assurances that an impairment and write down of goodwill will not occur.

These pro forma financial statements do not include an agreement reached with IFC Metropol, a Russian financial institution to acquire a 49% interest in the Ozernoe project, a zinc and lead deposit located in the Republic of Buryatia in the Russian Federation for $125 million, of which $2 million has been paid to secure exclusivity of the project until September 29, 2006. $113 million is payable upon closing, of which a portion (approximately $10 million) will be used to take the project to a bankable feasibility study. The remaining $10 million is payable when the project goes into commercial production. This agreement is expected to be signed in September, 2006.

5.     PRO FORMA EARNINGS PER SHARE

The earnings per share are calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated using the treasury stock method whereby all "in-the-money" stock options are assumed to have been exercised at the beginning of the period and the proceeds from the exercise are assumed to have been used to purchase common shares at the average price during the period.


I-9

The basic and diluted average shares outstanding used in the calculation of the pro forma earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005 are calculated by adding the number of common shares issued to the EuroZinc shareholders as though the Arrangement had been consummated on January 1, 2005 to the weighted average shares outstanding as reported in the consolidated statements of operations for the respective periods.

Lundin Mining is a holding company that holds interests in several base metal, silver and gold mining and mineral exploration properties in Sweden, Finland, Ireland and Spain through Lundin Mining AB, its direct subsidiary, and through various wholly owned subsidiaries of Lundin Mining AB.

The Company owns, indirectly, 100% of the outstanding shares of Zinkgruvan Mining AB. Zinkgruvan Mining AB is engaged in the production of zinc, lead and silver at the Zinkgruvan Mine, which is located approximately 200 kilometers southwest of Stockholm, Sweden. The Zinkgruvan Mine is one of the largest underground mines in Europe and has been producing zinc, lead and silver on a continuous basis since 1857. Lundin Mining also engages in exploration activities within and near to the mine with the objective of adding new mineral resources.

Lundin Mining also owns, indirectly, 100% of the outstanding shares of Galmoy Mines Ltd. ("Galmoy"). Galmoy is an Irish mining and exploration company, the main asset of which is the Galmoy Mine located in County Kilkenny, Ireland. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the most recent year end prior to the acquisition of Galmoy by Lundin Mining, the Galmoy Mine had produced approximately 69,000 MT of zinc in concentrate and approximately 15,000 MT of lead in concentrate. Through its indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary, Lundin Mining Exploration Ltd., Lundin Mining also engages in zinc/lead exploration activities in Ireland including on the Galmoy block licenses and on several prospecting licenses in other parts of Ireland.

Lundin's wholly-owned Subsidiary, Lundin Mining AB, owns 100% of the outstanding shares of North Atlantic Natural Resources AB ("NAN") as at March 31, 2006. NAN engages in mining in Sweden, owns and operates a zinc/copper mine in the Skellefte district of Sweden known as the Storliden Mine, and also has a 90% interest in the Norrliden copper/zinc/silver deposit, also located in the Skellefte mining district, approximately 45 kilometers from the Storliden Mine.

Lundin Mining's indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary, Lundin Mining Exploration AB, is engaged in exploration activities for base and precious metals in Sweden, including in the Bergslagen district of southern Sweden, where the Zinkgruvan mine is located and in the Skellefte district of northern Sweden, where the Storliden mine is located. Lundin Mining Exploration AB also holds a number of exploration permits in Norrbotten County in Northern Sweden near the Kiruna iron mine. Pursuant to an option and joint venture agreement (the "Norrbotten Agreement") entered into on March 31, 2004 between Lundin Mining, Rio Tinto and Anglo American, the Company was granted an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Rakkurijärvi discovery and several other prospects in the Norrbotten district. Exploration has focused on expanding the Rakkurijärvi copper-gold discovery.

Lundin Mining's wholly owned subsidiary, Lundin Mining AB, acquired in June, 2006 through public auction, the Toral zinc/lead/silver property in northwestern Spain. Lundin Mining AB has been granted an exclusive three-year Investigation Permit for the Toral Project by the Territorial Service of Industry, Commerce and Tourism of the Autonomous Community of Castile and León. The 28.5 sq. km, 100% owned Lundin Mining property is located 400 km northwest of Madrid, near to the regional city of Ponferrada. This advanced exploration project has a significant historic zinc/lead/silver resource and was acquired through a public bidding process. The government authority chose Lundin Mining's three-year work proposal as the winning bid.
