In Our Veins – Over the course of our history, we have built strengths in finding<br />
and exploiting mineral wealth and in consistently getting the most out of the mines<br />
we develop and operate. By now, these skills are not only a unique competitive<br />
advantage, they are part of <strong>HudBay</strong>’s DNA.<br />
Exploration<br />
Our senior exploration team brings more than 230<br />
years of combined experience studying volcanogenic<br />
massive sulphide (VMS) and porphyry mineral deposits.<br />
They have become specialists in applying innovative<br />
geophysical techniques to identify prospective targets<br />
as deep as 700 to 800 metres below the surface.<br />
Their mineral deposit discoveries have earned them<br />
two Bill Dennis Awards from the Prospectors and<br />
Developers Association of Canada (PDAC).<br />

mine Development<br />
We have developed 26 mines in the Flin Flon<br />
Greenstone Belt, and have become particularly<br />
adept at driving underground ramps. While mine<br />
building is a complex process, our thorough<br />
understanding of the best ways to address the<br />
challenges associated with designing, permitting,<br />
financing and building projects equips us to bring<br />
mines into production on time and on budget.<br />

Our growth strategy leverages our strengths. It is<br />
based on the belief that the greatest opportunities<br />
for creating shareholder value in the mining industry<br />
are in finding new deposits and bringing them<br />
into production, and in acquiring exploration and<br />
development properties that meet our strategic criteria.<br />
