Manitoba wildfires: Hudbay Minerals staff evacuate Flin Flon due to fires
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 province-wide 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.

TORONTO, May 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hudbay Minerals Inc. ('Hudbay' or the 'Company') (TSX, NYSE: HBM) is responding to the evolving wildfire situation in northern Manitoba and is working closely with local authorities to ensure its employees remain safe as well as comply with the regional wildfire evacuation order that includes Flin Flon and the surrounding areas.

The Flin Flon community has been an important part of Hudbay's operations for nearly 100 years. Hudbay continues to maintain operations in Snow Lake, which is located approximately 200 kilometres east of Flin Flon.

'The safety of our employees, their families and the communities we serve is our top priority,' said Rob Carter, Vice President of Hudbay's Manitoba Business Unit.
