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 />
