Total cash consideration paid at closing by the Company was approximately US$315 million, consisting of a US$250 million purchase amount plus project expenditures from January 1, 2013 until transaction closing of US$65 million, subject to minor adjustments to reflect actual project expenses. The acquisition has been entirely funded from Lundin Mining’s current net cash balance and its existing $350 million revolving credit facility. The purchase price reflects project expenditures from Jan 1, 2013 to closing being lower than previously anticipated due to an earlier than expected closing date.
