Hudbay Comments on Peru Social Unrest
Toronto, Ontario, September 23, 2025 – Hudbay Minerals Inc. (“Hudbay” or the “Company”) (TSX, NYSE: HBM)
today comments on ongoing social unrest in Peru. After a period of heightened social pressures over the past few
months, the situation has escalated over the weekend with riots in Lima and several protests across the country. Along
with other mines in the southern mining corridor, Hudbay’s Constancia mine has been impacted by local protests and
illegal blockades.
The safety of all personnel is the Company’s top priority, and Hudbay has taken precautions intended to ensure their
safety, including a temporary demobilization of the non-essential workforce. While the Constancia mill continued to
operate over the weekend, in light of the recent demonstrations near Constancia, the mill has been temporarily shut
down as a safety precaution and to allow time for the authorities to address the illegal protests. Hudbay intends to utilize
the downtime to perform preventative mill maintenance and potentially advance some of the planned maintenance from
later this year.
Hudbay will continue to collaborate with government and legal authorities to engage with the protestors to achieve a
prompt resolution that will allow operations to return to normal as soon as possible. The Company believes these
temporary disruptions will be resolved and will not impact its ability to meet its 2025 production and cost guidance
range.
Social protests happen from time to time in Peru and since the start of operations at Constancia in 2014, Hudbay has
been focused on working with local stakeholders to ensure successful and sustainable long-term operations. Hudbay
has built strong relationships with the communities near Constancia and is committed to being a safe and responsible
operator and a significant long-term contributor to the prosperity of the local and regional communities.
