Vicuña PEA Study Highlights
Delivering on our strategy
Giant metal district - peak production of over 500 ktpa of copper, 800 koz of gold and 20 Moz of silver1
Multi-generational asset with a first quartile cash cost profile and
robust economics1
Staged development plan - using cashflows to self-fund expansions
Largest mining project ever to be developed in Argentina
Vicuña Team
Lundin Mining Corporate Presentation 2026
1. On a 100% basis. The Project is a 50:50 joint arrangement between Lundin Mining and BHP. Production numbers based on a 10-Year average defined as 2045 -
2054. The PEA is preliminary in nature, it includes Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic
considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic 4
assessment will be realized. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
Vicuña District Concept
Staged development strategy to manage capital expenditures and self-fund expansions
Stage 1 Josemaria Mine & Sulphide Mill |
| |
Stage 2 Filo Oxides |
| |
Infrastructure to support the mill expansion, concentrate slurry and desalination pipelines, roaster and powerline upgrade
Expand sulphide mill to support Filo sulphide material
Expansion would rank Vicuña as a top 5 global copper producing operation
