Mining production during the quarter continued at stable levels and with the recent exploration success at Galmoy we are confident we are on the right track to continue to grow Lundin Mining into a major international base metal producer."

1. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Lundin Mining Corporation (the "Company" or "Lundin Mining") are prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles using the same accounting policies and methods of application as those disclosed in Note 2 to the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005.

These interim consolidated financial statements do not contain all of the information required by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2005 annual audited consolidated financial statements.

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management , necessary for a fair presentation of the respective interim periods presented.

2. Translation of foreign currencies

Effective April 1, 2005, the reporting currency of Lundin Mining was changed from the Canadian to the U.S. dollar. The board and management of Lundin Mining reassessed which currency was most suitable to its financial statement users. Based on the circumstance that most of the sales of the Lundin Mining Group (the "Group") are denominated in U.S. dollars and that most of the assets owned by the Group are valued in U.S. dollars, a decision was taken by the board to change the reporting currency from the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar.

As a consequence, the financial statements for all years (or periods) presented have been translated into the new reporting currency using the current rate method. Under this method, the income statement and the cash flow statement items for each year (or period) are translated into the reporting currency using the rates in effect at the date of the transactions, and assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate at the end of that year or period. All resulting exchange differences are reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity.

The Company has also reassessed the measurement currencies of its corporate offices and its mining operations.

Lundin Mining AB and Zinkgruvan Mining AB ("Zinkgruvan") had previously used the Canadian dollar as their measurement currency and had been considered integrated foreign operations. These entities had been accounted for using the temporal method. Under this method, monetary items are translated at the rate of exchange in effect at the year-end. Non-monetary items are translated at historical exchange rates. Revenue and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the year, except for depreciation and amortization, which are translated at the same exchange rates as the assets to which they relate.

Following the establishment of an executive office in Stockholm, Sweden, in April 2005, the Company decided that Zinkgruvan and Lundin Mining AB would use the Swedish Krona (SEK) as their measurement currency. ARCON will use Euro as its measurement currency and the measurement currency of Lundin Mining w ill continue to be the Canadian dollar. This will have the effect that the current rate method will be used when translating the financial statements of these companies.

North Atlantic Natural Resources ("NAN") has been considered a self -sustaining foreign operation, used the Swedish Krona as its measurement currency, and has been accounted for by using the current rate method.

The change in measurement currencies has been applied starting April 1, 2005.

3. Significant differences between Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("Canadian GAAP") and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") / International Accounting Standards ("IAS").

The shares of Lundin Mining trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the Stockholm Stock Exchange ("SSE"). Most companies that trade on the SSE are required to report according to IFRS/IAS. However, as a Canadian company, Lundin Mining is required to report according to Canadian GAAP. The Company has reviewed the differences between Canadian GAAP and IFRS/IAS and has identified the following items which would or may have a significant impact on the financial statements of Lundin Mining.

According to IFRS 3, future costs such as restructuring items, which are expected to occur subsequent to an acquisition, should not be provided for in the purchase price allocation. Instead, these costs should be realized in the income statement when the costs actually occur. However, according to Canadian GAAP, restructuring costs that are expected to occur as a result of an acquisition should be provided for in the purchase price allocation. Restructuring costs that arose during 2005, as a result of the acquisitions of NAN and ARCON, in the amount of $2.1 million, have been provided for in the purchase price allocations.

According to Canadian GAAP, impairment test of assets should be carried out by comparing the future cash flows of the assets to their carrying values. Future cash flows are dependent on a number of assumptions, including, among other things, future metal prices, exchange rates and discount rates. According to Canadian GAAP, future cash flows should be based on undiscounted values. Lundin Mining believes that the future cash flows from the Company's assets exceed their carrying values and, accordingly, no write downs are necessary. According to IAS 36, the future cash flows would be based on discounted values.

According to Canadian GAAP, the investments the Company holds in Union Resources and Sunridge Gold Corporation should be valued at the lower of cost or fair market value. However, according to IAS 39, these investment s would be recorded at fair market value. The fair market value, as at March 31 2006, was $14.8 million, which exceeded the carried cost value by $6.7 million.

4. Acquisitions

On December 30, 2004 the Company acquired all of Boliden Mineral AB' s ("Boliden's") 11,537,000 shares in NAN, representing 36.9% of the outstanding shares and votes. The consideration for all of Boliden' s NAN shares amount s to 2,176,800 newly issued Lundin Mining shares, representing 6.5% of the shares and votes in Lundin Mining on an undiluted basis. Applying the market price on the Toronto Stock Exchange for Lundin Mining' s shares of CAD $10.40 (SEK 56.32), the total consideration for all of Boliden' s NAN shares was CAD $22,638,720 (approximately $18.4 million).

Prior to the acquisition of Boliden' s NAN shares, Lundin Mining held 11,580,000 shares in NAN, representing 37.1% of the shares and votes. Following the acquisition, Lundin Mining held 23,117,000 shares in NAN, representing 74.0% of the shares and votes. A public offer (the "Offer") in line with the Swedish Industry and Commerce Stock Exchange Committee' s (Näringslivets Börskommitté (NBK)) mandatory bid rules was made to all remaining NAN shareholders in February 2005. Shareholders holding 7,367,854 shares, representing 23.6% of the total number of shares and votes of NAN, accepted the Offer. Combined with the 23,117,000 shares held by the Company prior to the Offer, Lundin Mining, as per September 30, 2005, held 30,484,854 shares in NAN, representing 97.6% of the total number of shares and votes. As consideration of the 23.6% the Company issued an additional 1,383,321 common shares at a price of CAD$13.25 (US$10.65) per share, being the average closing price of the Company's shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange the two days before, the day of, and two days after the date of announcement.

The acquisition of 36.9% of the outstanding shares from Boliden Mineral AB and 23.6% of the outstanding shares pursuant to the Offer to the remaining shareholders has been accounted for using the purchase method. The allocation of the fair value of the net assets acquired is as follows:

On March 3, 2005 the Board of Lundin Mining and the Board of ARCON announced that they had reached an agreement in principle on the terms of a recommended merger of the two companies.

Lundin Mining offered (the "Merger Offer") to acquire all of the issued and to be issued ARCON shares on the following basis: $36.2198 cash (the "cash component") and 3.2196 Lundin Mining Swedish Depository Receipts ("SDRs") (the "share component") for every 100 ARCON shares.

The cash component represented a value of approximately $65.3 million and the share component represented a value of approximately $56.3 million. The combined value of the offer was $121.6 million. As consideration for the share component, the Company issued an additional 5,621,239 common shares at a price of CAD$12.53 (US$10.02) per share, being the average closing price of the Company's shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange the two days before, the day of, and two days after the date of announcement.

On April 12, 2005 the Directors of Lundin Mining announced that all of the conditions of the Merger Offer had been satisfied or waived and, accordingly, the Merger Offer was declared unconditional in all respects. ARCON was consolidated in the financial statements of Lundin Mining as of May 1, 2005. The acquisition of ARCON has been accounted for using the purchase method. The allocation of the fair value of the net assets acquired is as follows:

5. Agreement with Silver Wheaton Corporation

On December 8, 2004 the Company entered into an agreement with Silver Wheaton Corporation ("Silver Wheaton") whereby the Company agreed to sell all of its silver production from the Zinkgruvan mine in Sweden to Silver Wheaton in consideration for an upfront cash payment of $50 million (CAD60.6 million), 6 million (post -consolidation) Silver Wheaton shares and 30 million Silver Wheaton share purchase warrants with an aggregate fair value of $22.8 million, plus a per ounce payment at a price equal to the lesser of (a) $3.90 (subject to a consumer price adjustment after three years) and (b) the then prevailing market price per ounce of silver.

During 2005 Zinkgruvan sold all of the shares and warrants in Silver Wheaton for net proceeds of approximately $37.1 million and a profit before tax of approximately $17.8 million.

The Company has agreed to deliver all silver produced from Zinkgruvan over the life of mine with a minimum of 40 million ounces of silver to be delivered to Silver Wheaton over a 25-year period. If at the end of the 25 -year period, the Company has not delivered the agreed 40 million ounces, then it has agreed to pay to Silver Wheaton US$1.00 per ounce of silver not delivered.

The upfront cash payment of $50 million and the aggregate fair value of the shares and warrants of $22.8 million have been deferred in the balance sheet and are realized in the income statement when the actual deliveries of silver occur. The deferred per ounce amount which is realized in the income statement is based on deliveries of 40 million ounces and equals approximately $1.74 per ounce of silver delivered. Total revenue from silver currently equals $5.64 per ounce, including $3.90 per ounce which is invoiced to Silver Wheaton upon delivery of silver.
