Lundin has itself suspended its Neves Corvo copper and zinc mine in Portugal until prices recover, closed its Storliden copper and zinc mine in northern Sweden, and said it will permanently shut its Galmoy zinc mine in Ireland from May.
But Lundin said operating plans have been developed for Neves Corvo, its Zinkgruvan mine in Portugal and its Aguablanca mine in Spain, "that should see them free cash flow positive at today's prices."
"These will remain under active review during the year to adjust to changing circumstances," Lundin added. It core focus will now be on Neves Corvo, Zinkgruvan and the Tenke Fungurume copper-cobalt project, a joint venture in Congo.
The company said metal prices are expected to stabilize during 2009, with some potential for minor increases. "The longer-term outlook for metal prices remains strong and supply difficulties are expected once world growth resumes," Lundin added.
