La Florida Prospect

The La Florida Prospect is a newly defined north-south trending belt of copper-gold mineralisation located within the northern sector of the Fortuna Project, measuring approximately 1.7km long by 0.5km wide (Figure 2). Mineralisation is hosted within andesitic volcanic rocks that have been intruded by quartz- feldspar porphyry lithologies. During the Quarter, a litho-geochemical survey was undertaken to characterise the nature and extent of the mineralised system. Rock chip samples were collected in areas including historic small scale mine workings, outcrop and subcrop on hills where bedrock/fresh rock was visible. All 14 rock chip samples returned anomalous copper and gold results, as shown in Appendix C.

The best copper result of 3.96% Cu was returned from CPO0008688, located in the northern part of the interpreted porphyry system where strong surface mineralisation was identified in the form of malachite and chrysocolla. This sample also returned a gold result of 1.17g/t Au. Of significance was CPO0008692, which returned high-grade copper and gold at 3.18% Cu and 2.61g/t Au1. The sample was taken from historical workings in fresh, unoxidised mineralisation.

Hudbay Delivers Strong First Quarter 2024 Results

Hudbay Minerals Inc. ("Hudbay" or the "company") (TSX, NYSE: HBM) today released its first quarter 2024 financial results. All amounts are in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted. All production and cost amounts reflect the Copper Mountain mine on a 100% basis, with Hudbay owning a 75% interest in the mine.

"We delivered another consecutive quarter of strong operational and financial performance with steady free cash flow generation and further debt reduction," said Peter Kukielski, President and Chief Executive Officer. "These results demonstrate the strength of our diversified operating base, with continued contributions from the high-grade Pampacancha deposit in Peru, better-than-planned gold production in Manitoba and benefits starting to be realized from operational stabilization efforts at the Copper Mountain mine in British Columbia. We are well on track to achieve all of our production and cost guidance metrics. Hudbay's resilient operating platform offers leading exposure to copper and unique complementary exposure to gold, which together with our quality pipeline of growth assets, provide significant upside potential for further value creation at higher copper and gold prices."
