Notes on Mineral Reserves and Resources Table
Mineral reserves and resources are shown on a 100 percent basis for each mine. Mineral resources for all operations are inclusive of reserves and all estimates, with the exception of Tenke Fungurume, are prepared as at June 30, 2010. The Tenke Fungurume estimate is dated December 31, 2009.
Estimates for all 100% owned operations are prepared by or under the supervision of a Qualified Person as defined in National Instrument 43-101. Tenke Proven and Probable mineral reserves are estimated by the operator Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. ("Freeport"), and are prepared to SEC standards and are reviewed by Lundin Mining's independent Qualified Persons.
Neves Corvo
The mineral resources are reported above cut-off grades of 1.0% for copper and 3.0% for zinc. The copper mineral reserves are reported above a cut-off of 1.6% while for zinc mineral reserves a cut off of 4.3% is used for orebodies above the 550 level and 6.0% for the deeper Lombador orebody below the 550 level. Mineral reserves and resources for Neves-Corvo were estimated by the mine's geology and engineering department under the guidance of Nelson Pacheco, Chief Geologist and Fernando Cartaxo, Mine Planning Engineer. Qualified Persons are Graham Greenway, Corporate Resource Geologist, employed by Lundin Mining and John Andreatidis, General Manager, employed by Neves-Corvo mine.
Zinkgruvan
The zinc mineral resources and reserves are reported above a 3.1% zinc equivalent cut off. The Copper mineral resources and reserves are reported above cut-off grades of 1.5% copper and 2.0% copper respectively. The Qualified Person responsible for the 2010 Zinkgruvan mineral resource and reserve estimate is Lars Malmström, Resource Manager, employed by Zinkgruvan mine.
Aguablanca
The mineral resources are reported above a 0.2% nickel cut off and the mineral reserves above a 0.25% nickel cut off. Mineral resources for Aguablanca were estimated by Graham Greenway, Lundin Mining. Mineral reserves were calculated by Aden Munoz, Chief Mine Engineer, Aguablanca. Qualified Persons are Graham Greenway and Steve Gatley, Director Technical Services, both employed by Lundin Mining.
Galmoy
The mineral resources are reported above a cut-off of 4.5% zinc equivalent. The mineral reserves are those tonnes above a 6.0% zinc equivalent cut off that are amenable to mining and treatment at an adjacent mine. The Qualified Person responsible for the Galmoy mineral resource and reserve estimate is Paul McDermott, Technical Services Superintendent, an employee of Galmoy mine.
Tenke Fungurume
The mineral resources are based on a cut off of 1.30% copper equivalent and a cobalt to copper factor of 4.00. The 2009 mineral reserves are based on pit limits defined in the current mine plan, use a cut off grade of 1.52% (acid soluble) copper equivalent and a cobalt to copper equivalency factor of 4.4. The mineral reserve estimates for Tenke have been reviewed by John Nilsson, P.Eng. of Nilsson Mine Services Ltd on behalf of Lundin Mining. The mineral resource estimates have been prepared by John Nilsson, P.Eng., and Ron Simpson P.Geo. of GeoSim Services Inc. who are independent consultants and Qualified Persons.
