Hudbay Minerals staff evacuate Flin Flon, Man., due to wildfires
TORONTO – Hudbay Minerals Inc. says its non-essential staff in the Flin Flon, Man., area are evacuating because of wildfires in the region.
The company says it hasn't been actively mining at its Flin Flon site since 2022, but it still runs care and maintenance work and also has services there to support its Snow Lake operation.
Saskatchewan and Manitoba have declared provincewide states of emergency to deal with the wildfires that, in Manitoba, has forced 17,000 residents to evacuate including 6,000 in and around the northwest city of Flin Flon.
Hudbay says the evacuation order because of wildfires will likely affect production at Snow Lake because a large portion of its staff live in Flin Flon, which sits about 200 kilometres west, but it still expects to reach its guidance for the year.
The company says it has also paused exploration activities in the Flin Flon and Snow Lake areas.
Hudbay says some emergency staff have been directed to help in the firefighting efforts, and it is securing additional accommodations in Snow Lake for employees and their family that had to leave.
