HudBay Minerals Inc. – Creating a new Canadian leader in global mining
HudBay Minerals Inc., formerly known as Hudson Bay Mining & Smelting (HBMS), is building on its proud 80-year history of mining in Canada to create the next Canadian leader in global mining. Its flagship operation is its Manitoban HBMS assets that produce copper, zinc, silver and gold. In addition, the Company’s gold/zinc Lalor project, located in Snow Lake, Manitoba, is believed to be the largest VMS deposit found to date in the Snow Lake Camp of the Flin Flon Greenstone Belt. HudBay began expanding its asset base in mid 2008 when it acquired Skye Resources for its world-class nickel laterite Fenix Project in Guatemala. Most recently, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire Lundin Mining, the next step in expanding HudBay’s production profile, building its reserves and resources, and adding to its project pipeline. Lundin’s key assets are the Neves Corvo copper/zinc mine in Portugal, the Zinkgruvan zinc mine in Sweden, and its 24.75% interest in the DRC’s Tenke mine, one of the largest copper/cobalt deposits in the world. With this growth, HudBay Minerals is poised to become the next significant international base metals mining company, while retaining a strong balance sheet to protect it from the turmoil of the global market economy.
