Lundin Mining ( (TSE:LUN) ) has provided an update.
Lundin Mining reported a strong first quarter of 2026, with copper output of about 80,000 tonnes at a cash cost of $1.66 per pound, driving $1.16 billion in revenue and $379.7 million in free cash flow from operations. Net earnings attributable to shareholders reached $280.5 million, the balance sheet moved into a net cash position of roughly $250 million, and the company reaffirmed its full-year production, cost, and capital expenditure guidance while returning capital through share buybacks and dividends.
Strategically, Lundin Mining advanced its shift to copper dominance by completing the sale of the Eagle mine, lifting copper to about 85% of quarterly revenue, increasing its stake in the Caserones mine to 75%, and acquiring a 30.9% interest in the adjacent Los Helados project. It also released a technical study for the giant Vicuña project, highlighting its potential as a top-five global copper, gold, and silver mine and confirming that, supported by an upsized credit facility and current net cash, the business is positioned to fund initial Vicuña construction and pursue its ambition to rank among the world’s top ten copper producers.
