About the Lumina Metals Group

Lumina Metals (TSX: LMCU) is an international company engaged in the exploration of metal deposits and the development of mining projects. In Poland, the group operates through its company Zielona Góra Copper, developing three large-scale copper and silver mining projects: Nowa Sól, Sulmierzyce, and Mozów. Following its successful debut on the Toronto Stock Exchange in April 2026, which raised over CAD 400 million, the company has solid capital and has entered a dynamic phase of growth, while simultaneously pursuing a dual-listing procedure on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
