LUNDIN MINING CANADIAN TAX ELECTION FILING REMINDER FOR FORMER TENKE MINING SHAREHOLDERS

January 24, 2008 (TSX: LUN; OMX: LUMI; NYSE: LMC) Lundin Mining Corporation (“Lundin Mining” or the “Company”) would like to remind former shareholders of Tenke Mining Corp. (“Tenke”) that Canadian tax election forms, prepared in respect of the business combination of Lundin Mining and Tenke in July 2007 should be completed and submitted to the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) by January 31, 2008 if you wish to avoid possible penalties and interest charges.

As previously announced, the exchange of Tenke shares for Lundin Mining shares and cash is considered a taxable event for Canadian income tax purposes. However, it is possible to defer some or all of any tax resulting from the share exchange by filing, jointly with Lundin Mining, a Section 85 Tax Election Form, and submitting the tax election form to the CRA. 

The deadline for submission of the tax election form to Lundin Mining was initially October 15, 2007;  this deadline was subsequently extended to November 30, 2007.  Lundin Mining is still accepting tax election forms that are delivered to it, however, there can be no assurance that these forms will be processed in time to meet the CRA filing deadline of January 31, 2008.  Former Tenke shareholders who submit their forms to the CRA after the January 31, 2008 deadline will be subject to penalties and interest.  Lundin Mining will continue to accept the tax election forms up until April 30, 2008 but those that file after the January 31, 2008 deadline will be subject to the penalties and interest noted above.

All eligible holders who wish to make a Section 85 election should give their immediate attention to this matter and, in particular, should consult their tax advisors without delay.

The tax election form may be submitted to Lundin Mining via the website noted above or via mail or courier to:  Lundin Tax Election Process, 250 Howe Street, Suite 200, Vancouver, B.C., V6C 3S7.

Canadian tax election instructions and forms pursuant to the business combination of Lundin Mining and Tenke are available on the following website:  www.tnkluntaxes.com.  For questions or further information about the tax election process, please call toll free 1-866-609-8612 or in Vancouver 604-806-7264.

Some former Tenke shareholders will not need to file a Tax Election Form.  If you meet any of the following criteria you are not required to file a Tax Election Form:

• You are a non-resident of Canada (certain exceptions apply)
• You held all of your Tenke shares in an RRSP, RRIF, RESP, RPP or other tax-exempt plan
• You realized a tax loss as a result of the disposition of your Tenke shares

Former Tenke shareholders who are not resident in Canada should consult with their tax advisors to ascertain the tax ramifications to them of the exchange of Tenke shares for Lundin Mining shares.
