About Hudbay:

Hudbay (TSX, NYSE: HBM) is a copper-focused critical minerals company with three long-life operations and a world-class pipeline of copper growth projects in tier-one mining jurisdictions of Canada, Peru and the United States.

 

Hudbay’s operating portfolio includes the Constancia mine in Cusco (Peru), the Snow Lake operations in Manitoba (Canada) and the Copper Mountain mine in British Columbia (Canada). Copper is the primary metal produced by the Company, which is complemented by meaningful gold production and by-product zinc, silver and molybdenum. Hudbay’s growth pipeline includes the Copper World project in Arizona (United States), the Mason project in Nevada (United States), the Llaguen project in La Libertad (Peru) and several expansion and exploration opportunities near its existing operations.

 

Copper is Hudbay’s primary metal, representing approximately 60% of our revenues. Copper is essential for achieving global energy transition and AI technology needs – it is one of the most heavily utilized metals in renewable energy systems and is a key component for power networks, circuit boards and cooling systems in data processing centres. Our leading organic growth pipeline provides significant long-term copper optionality to add to our production profile to meet the robust copper demand.

 

With over 90 years of continuous operation, Hudbay stays strong by building on traditions and knowledge, remaining current through ongoing learning, adapting to new influences and embracing new opportunities. We know that committing to safety, embracing diversity, sharing skills, rewarding performance and encouraging a healthy work-life balance can help our people and our company make giant strides.
