NEWS RELEASE
NEVES-CORVO COPPER MINE INDUSTRIAL ACTION ENDS
Toronto, April 1, 2010 Lundin
Mining Corporation (Lundin Mining" or the "Company") (TSX:LUN) (OMX:LUMI)
reports that underground mining employees at the Neves-Corvo copper mine in
Portugal today ended their limited industrial action and normal work recommenced
as of this morning.
Commenting on the situation, Mr. João Carrêlo, the Companys Chief Operating
Officer said, "This is a positive outcome for Neves-Corvo. We have been able to
maintain reduced production throughout the industrial action and we are now
focusing, together with our employees, on recovering as much lost production as
we can, in a safe and efficient manner.
We are continuing to explore ways to improve the long-term competitiveness of
the operation and enhance its value for all stakeholders," Mr. Carrêlo said.
The
amount of production that may be lost is currently being assessed and an
estimate will be provided as part of guidance when the first quarter results are
released in late April 2010.

Forward Looking Statements
Certain of the statements made and information contained herein is "forward-looking information" within the meaning of the Ontario Securities Act or "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 of the United States. Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or results to differ from those reflected in the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, risks and uncertainties relating to foreign currency fluctuations; risks inherent in mining including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected geological formations, ground control problems and flooding; risks associated with the estimation of mineral resources and reserves and the geology, grade and continuity of mineral deposits; the possibility that future exploration, development or mining results will not be consistent with the Companys expectations; the potential for and effects of labour disputes or other unanticipated difficulties with or shortages of labour or interruptions in production; actual ore mined varying from estimates of grade, tonnage, dilution and metallurgical and other characteristics; the inherent uncertainty of production and cost estimates and the potential for unexpected costs and expenses, commodity price fluctuations; uncertain political and economic environments; changes in laws or policies, foreign taxation, delays or the inability to obtain necessary governmental permits; and other risks and uncertainties, including those described under Risk Factors Relating to the Companys Business in the Companys Annual Information Form and in each management discussion and analysis. Forward-looking information is in addition based on various assumptions including, without limitation, the expectations and beliefs of management, the assumed long term price of copper, nickel, lead and zinc; that the Company can access financing, appropriate equipment and sufficient labour and that the political environment where the Company operates will continue to support the development and operation of mining projects. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in forward-looking statements. Accordingly, readers are advised not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
