TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - May 31, 2017) - Lundin Mining Corporation
(TSX:LUN)(OMX:LUMI) ("Lundin Mining" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has obtained the approval and
registration with the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (the "FSA") of a prospectus (the "Swedish Prospectus"), which has
been filed on the Company's website at www.lundinmining.com.
The Swedish Prospectus was prepared and filed in order to permit the admission to trading of the Company's shares directly on
Nasdaq Stockholm following the conversion of Swedish Depository Receipts ("SDRs") to shares. Following this conversion
process, the Company's shares will be dual listed on TSX and Nasdaq Stockholm. No new shares are being issued by the Company
in connection with the Nasdaq Stockholm listing or in connection with the Swedish Prospectus.
In accordance with the Company's previous announcement, the record date for the conversion of the SDRs in the Swedish VPC
register shall be June 9, 2017. Pareto Securities AB will, in accordance with the VPC plan for conversion of securities, deliver
the underlying shares of the Company to the holders of the SDRs entitled to receive such shares. Holders of the SDRs do not need
to take any action as all SDRs will be converted automatically to shares of the Company. Further information on the SDR
conversion procedure can be found in the Swedish Prospectus.
The first day of trading of shares on Nasdaq Stockholm is expected to be June 8, 2017. The last day of trading of the SDRs is
expected to be June 7, 2017. The trading symbol for the shares on Nasdaq Stockholm will be "LUMI".
The shares underlying the SDRs are expected to be credited on June 12, 2017, after which Euroclear Sweden AB ("Euroclear")
will send out account statements to those who held SDRs on the Record Date and received shares on owner registered accounts (Sw.
VP-accounts). Those who have their holdings registered with a bank or other nominee will receive information in accordance with
each nominee's procedures.
To execute the above, a halt for cross border transfers will be applied from and including June 5, 2017 from which date shares
cannot be deposited with Pareto and deposited shares cannot be withdrawn. Accordingly, from and including June 5, 2017 a
shareholder on the TSX cannot deposit their shares with Pareto for trading in SDRs on the Nasdaq Stockholm and a SDR holder
cannot withdraw their underlying shares from Pareto for trading on the TSX.
Following the SDR conversion, cross border trades will take place via Euroclear. The first possible day for cross border
trades in shares is expected to be June 12, 2017. Holders of shares are advised to contact their nominee or bank.
