VANCOUVER, BC, May 1, 2024 /CNW/ - (TSX: LUN; Nasdaq Stockholm: LUMI) Lundin Mining Corporation (“Lundin Mining” or the “Company”) today announced that its Board of Directors has declared a regular quarterly dividend of Canadian Dollars (“CAD”) $0.09 per share, payable to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 31, 2024.

To execute the payment of the dividend, a temporary administrative cross-border transfer closure will be applied by Euroclear from May 29, 2024, up to and including May 31, 2024, during which period shares of the Company cannot be transferred between TSX and Nasdaq Stockholm.
