Lukas Henrik Lundin (3 July 1958 – 26 July 2022) was a Swedish-Canadian businessman, based in Geneva, Switzerland. He was the chairman of Lundin Mining, Denison Mines, Lucara Diamond, NGEx Resources Inc, Lundin Gold Inc, the Lundin Foundation, and Vostok Gas. He was also the owner of a $100 million superyacht, Savannah.
Lundin was the chairman of Lundin Mining, Denison Mines, Lucara Diamond, NGEx Resources Inc, Lundin Gold Inc, the Lundin Foundation, and Vostok Gas.
Together with his younger brother Ian Lundin, who chairs Lundin Petroleum, he had a net worth of at least US $2.5 billion, mostly from commodity-based companies in oil and gas, metals and mining, gold, diamonds, and cattle in Latin America.
Speaking in 2016, Lundin said, "It's a good time to acquire right now", citing in particular possibilities in base metals, and that Lundin Mining should continue expand further, after acquiring the Eagle nickel and copper mine in Michigan from Rio Tinto Group in 2013, and control of the Candelaria/Ojos del Salado copper mines in Chile from Freeport-McMoRan Inc in 2014. Lundin believed zinc was the best bet on a two-five year horizon, and copper and nickel perhaps in the longer term, and that Chile, Argentina and Peru are all places where he was "comfortable doing business".
Lundin was based in Vancouver, Canada, for nearly 25 years, before moving to Geneva, Switzerland in 2013, where his brother Ian already lived, and where they commuted to work together from houses on the shores of Lake Geneva.
He competed in the Paris-Dakar rally four times on a motorcycle, and twice climbed Mount Kilimanjaro.
Lundin died on 26 July 2022, after two years with brain cancer.
