Lundin Mining ( (TSE:LUN) ) has provided an announcement.
Lundin Mining has secured commitments from 17 lenders to upsize and amend its revolving credit facility to as much as $4.5 billion, extending its maturity to 2031 while keeping pricing unchanged on a leverage‑linked margin over adjusted SOFR. The facility will initially provide $2.25 billion, expand to $3.5 billion upon meeting certain conditions, and reach the full amount once Stage 1 of the Vicuña Project is sanctioned, significantly bolstering funding capacity for the project and general corporate needs.
Management said the enlarged facility is a key pillar in financing the Vicuña Project alongside partner BHP and supports Lundin’s strategy to lift annual copper output above 500,000 tonnes, reinforcing its ambition to rank among the world’s top copper producers. The additional liquidity, combined with a strong balance sheet, is expected to allow the company to fund its share of Vicuña while maintaining annual shareholder distributions of $220 million, signaling lender confidence in its asset base and offering greater visibility for investors.
