Hudbay Resumes Operations in Peru
Toronto, Ontario, October 7, 2025 – Hudbay Minerals Inc. (“Hudbay” or the “ Company”) (TSX, NYSE: HBM)
announces it has resumed operations at the Constancia mine in Peru following a temporary shutdown due to local
protests and illegal blockades.
The safety of all personnel is the Company’s top priority, and Hudbay suspended operations on September 22nd as a
precaution to ensure the safety of personnel and allow time for the authorities to address the illegal protests . Hudbay
has recently restarted operations at Constancia with the mill now at full production levels. During the temporary
downtime, the team performed preventative maintenance at the mill and on certain mining equipment. The workforce
is expected to return to normal levels over the coming days, and the Company continues to expect to meet its 2025
production and cost guidance ranges.
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
actively maintains strong relationships with the communities near Constancia and ensures continuous constructive
dialogue. The Company is committed to being a safe and responsible operator and a significant long -term contributor
to the prosperity of the local and regional communities.
As mentioned in the Company’s second quarter 2025 results, regional protests that started early in the third quarter
temporarily impacted the transportation of supplies and concentrate to and from the Constancia site and affected mine
sequencing. Despite the local protest and illegal blockade late in the quarter, the Company has replenished supplies
and reduced site concentrate inventory levels. With the regional social unrest impacting transportation routes earlier in
the third quarter and ocean swells impacting port shipments in late September, a 20,000 dry metric tonne copper
concentrate shipment was deferred from late September to early October, thereby reducing sales volumes in the third
quarter. This shipment was subsequently sold early in the fourth quarter and total concentrate inventory levels have
normalized.
