VANCOUVER — Lundin Mining Corp. says an employee died Monday at its Neves-Corvo mine in Portugal.

The company says operations at the mine have been temporarily suspended out of respect.
It says it has notified authorities in Portugal and is fully co-operating with their investigation.
Lundin says it will provide additional information as appropriate.
The mining company primarily produces copper, zinc, gold and nickel through its operations in multiple countries.
