Third Quarter Results Summary
Consolidated copper production in the third quarter of 2023 was 41,964 tonnes, an increase of 93% compared to the second quarter of 2023. Consolidated gold production in the quarter was 101,417 ounces, an increase of 107%. compared to the second quarter. Consolidated silver production in the third quarter was 1,063,032 ounces, an increase of 74% over the second quarter. The significant increase in production is due to particularly high recoveries in Peru and Manitoba, extraction from the top-grade copper-gold zones of the Pampacancha deposit, the higher-grade gold and copper zones at Lalor and higher production from the Copper Mountain mine. Consolidated zinc production in the third quarter increased 18% compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to higher processing throughput and higher zinc grades. The 2023 annual production forecast levels for Peru and Manitoba were reaffirmed, and the consolidated production forecast was updated with contributions from Copper Mountain.
Consolidated cash charge per pound of production police, net of credits through product, was $1. 10 in the third quarter of 2023, compared to $1. 60 in the second quarter. This improvement was driven by strong gold production in Peru and Manitoba, which more than offset mining, milling, general and administrative, transportation, processing and processing costs. Refine related to now having 3 consistent conations. The consolidated cash maintenance charge per pound of production, net of credits through the product, was $1. 89 in the third quarter of 2023, compared to $2. 73 in the second quarter. This reduction is primarily due to the same issues affecting consolidated capital expenditures, partially offset by capital expenditures consistent with cash holdings. Both measures of monetary burden are expected to remain strong in the fourth quarter, with an increase consistent with expected production and a continued strong contribution from credits through valuable metal products. Full-year 2023 cash rate forecast levels are firmed for Peru and Manitoba, and consolidated and maintenance cash rate forecast levels have been updated to accommodate Copseder with Mountain. The all-inclusive consolidated cash maintenance charge consistent with the police pound consistent with what was produced, net of credits across products, was $2. 04 in the third quarter of 2023, down from $2. 98 in the second quarter, for the same reasons described above more consistent with commercial charges. . promotional and administrative positions.
Cash from operating activities in the third quarter of 2023 particularly increased to $151. 9 million from $24. 6 million in the second quarter. Operating money before adjustments in non-cash current capital was a record $182. 0 million in the third quarter, reflecting an accumulation of $126. 1. million compared to the previous quarter. The accumulation of operating money was primarily due to higher copper sales volumes from the high-grade zones of the Pampacanna deposit, the gold and high-grade copper zones of Lalor and an additional contribution from the Copper Mountain mine. .
Adjusted net income and adjusted net earnings consistent with percentagei for the third quarter of 2023 were $24. 4 million and $0. 07 consistent with percentage, respectively, after adjusting for non-cash gain similar to the revaluation of the environmental provision, among other items. This compares to an adjusted net loss and a consistent adjusted net loss of a consistent percentage of $18. 3 million and $0. 07 million in the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA was $190. 7 million, up 135% from $81. 2 million in the second quarter. Revenue, Earnings and Money would have benefited most from the sale of approximately 20,000 ounces of consolidated gold production that were not sold at the end of the third quarter and are expected to be sold in the fourth quarter.
As of September 30, 2023, overall liquidity increased to $539. 6 million, adding $245. 2 million in money and money equivalents and $294. 4 million of money not withdrawn from the Company’s revolving credit services. Net debt decreased in the quarter to $1,132 million as of September 30, 2023. After the end of the quarter, Hudbay repaid $40 million of its revolving credit facilities and made a principal payment of $5 million on the Copper Mountain bonds. Based on the continued flexible cash flow generation expected in the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company continues to make progress toward its deleveraging targets as defined in the “3-P” plan to sanction Copper World. Current liquidity, combined with cash flows from operations, is expected to be sufficient to satisfy the Company’s liquidity desires for the foreseeable future. .

Review of operations in Peru
During the third quarter of 2023, Peruvian operations produced 29,081 tonnes of copper, 40,596 ounces of gold, 697,211 ounces of silver and 466 tonnes of molybdenum. Significant increases in copper and gold production through the second quarter are the result of higher copper, gold and silver grade production from mining from the high-grade zones of the Pampacancha deposit, higher recoveries and higher throughput. Annual production in Peru is expected to continue to gain advantages from higher grades in the fourth quarter of 2023 and, as a result, annual grades production of all metals in Peru remains on track to reach guidance levels for 2023.
Total ore mined in the third quarter of 2023 increased 18% compared to the second quarter, according to the mine plan, despite a reduction in ore mined from the Constancia pit related to the commencement of Phase Five stripping activities. Ore mined from Pampacancha increased to 5. 9 million tonnes in the third quarter with average grades of 0. 53% cop and 0. 30 grams per tonne gold.
Ore mined in the third quarter of 2023 is 9% higher than in the second quarter, mainly due to a planned maintenance shutdown of the plant in the second quarter. Crushed copper and gold grades increased to 0. 43% and 0. 21 g/tonne, respectively, in the third quarter. quarter of 2023, representing an increase of 39% and 133%, respectively, compared to the second quarter, due to a significant increase in the extraction of high-grade copper and gold ore at Pampacancha.
The combined operating prices of the mine, mill and G-units.
Peru’s currency charge consistent with the pound of cop consistent with what was produced, net of loans through productsi, in the third quarter of 2023 $0. 83, compared to $2. 14 in the second quarter of 2023. This 61% improvement is primarily due to a consistent increase with credits through products. , basically due to gold, consistent with copper, consistent with pounds produced and lower milling prices. This is partly offset by an increase consistent with profit-sharing expenses and processing, refining and transportation prices. This charge measure decreases significantly, as expected, at this time. Part of 2023 and full-year money prices are expected to remain within 2023 guidance diversity, with an increase increasingly consistent with production and contributions from valuable Pampacancha steel by-product credits expected in the fourth quarter of 2023.
The maintenance of Peru’s cash per pound of cop to production, net of loans through productsi, in the third quarter of 2023 was $1. 51, representing a 51% reduction compared to the second quarter due to the same issues affecting money prices mentioned above. partially compensated by an increase. Maintain capital expenditures. However, annual capital maintenance overheads in Peru are expected to be $10 million lower than initial 2023 levels, primarily due to capitalized clearing costs.
Review of Manitoba Operations
During the third quarter of 2023, Manitoba operations produced 56,213 ounces of gold, 3,580 tonnes of copper, 10,291 tonnes of zinc and 264,752 ounces of silver. Gold, copper, zinc and silver production in the third quarter of 2023 was 59%, 28%, 18% and 46% higher, respectively, than in the second quarter due to the exploitation of higher grade and higher gold zones. recovery in New Britain. and locked generators, and the recovery of momentary gold products in New Britannia due to inefficiencies beyond processing. Improvements made at the end of the quarter have been resolved beyond processing inefficiencies at New Britannia and gold is being presented to Doré as planned. With new recovery innovations at the New Britannia and Stall generators and higher grades at Lalor in the third quarter, the company expects to meet its full-year production guidance for all metals. Gold production is expected to advance toward the lower end of forecast ranges, while copper and zinc production is expected to advance toward the upper end of forecast ranges, as announced last quarter.
The company’s Manitoba team continues to make progress on several key projects to support higher levels of production, reduce mine cycle dilution and improve steel recovery at Snow Lake operations. The Lalor team has focused on improving the quality of ore production and minimizing dilution through improved blast and loading designs. effective law enforcement procedures and practices. In addition, Hudbay has effectively completed modifications to optimize circuits at the Snow Lake mills, resulting in increased copper, gold, and silver recoveries. At the same time, the company is improving the tailings disposal procedure. at the Anderson facility and is exploring the option of transitioning from the installation of an underwater tailings impoundment to a subsurface tailings facility, which could allow for more efficient use of garage space, address seasonal operational challenges, and defer capital expenditures for the dam and defer the structure over the long term. run years.
At L’alor, the company effectively completed the replacement of hoisting cables, semi-annual inspections and maintenance of the mine’s ventilation systems ahead of the winter season. Maintenance was also completed on the mine’s underground shut-off circuit and power plants for the quarter. It averaged 4,000 tonnes per day in the third quarter, which was lower than the previous quarter due to mine maintenance activities. On the other hand, gold, silver and zinc grades mined in the third quarter of 2023 were 26%, 25%, 19% and 5% higher, respectively, than in the second quarter.
The Stall mill processed 7% more ore in the third quarter of 2023 than in the second quarter as it reduced base steel ore inventories that had built up at the end of the second quarter. Following the commissioning of the first phase of the Stall mill Recovery Improvement Allocation in the second quarter of 2023, the third quarter focused on optimizing circuits to achieve targeted recoveries by cutting mill number one length, refining the balance and mass extraction of the flotation circuit, and reagent selection. These changes have proven to be very effective, resulting in particularly higher gold recoveries in the third quarter of 2023. Specifically, the Stall mill achieved its target gold recovery grades of approximately 68% in the third quarter, compared to 60% in the 3rd quarter.
The combined operating prices of mines, generators, and G-units.
Manitoba’s monetary burden per ounce of gold produced, net of credits through the product, was $670 in the third quarter, down 39% from the second quarter, primarily due to an increase in gold production driven by an increase in grades and accelerated recoveries. Charge consistent with ounce of gold produced, net of credits through product, for the third quarter $939, a reduction of 38% compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to the same issues affecting the cash charge. Total Annual Maintenance Capital Expenditures in Manitoba are expected to be $15 million lower than initial 2023 levels, primarily due to minimal capital progression costs learned at Lalor as the team focuses on load efficiency.
Cash prices in the third quarter of 2023 were within guidance diversity for 2023 and are expected to continue to gain advantages by increasing gold production at the top-grade pits, continuing to increase throughput at Lalor and fully performing superior recoveries due to accelerate the Phase I recovery at the Stall Mill project. in the fourth quarter. As a result, full-year coin prices in Manitoba are expected to reach the 2023 range.
Review of operations in British Columbia
Total ore mined at Copper Mountain in the third quarter of 2023 was 3. 8 million tonnes, in line with Hudbay’s expectations. Following the completion of the Copper Mountain transaction at the end of June, mining operations initiated a plan to increase production from the wind farm at the full price of existing unused capital apparatus at the Copper Mountain site. This plan sees an increase in fleet capacity/utilization from 14 trucks to 26 trucks in the third and fourth quarters, which is expected to result in a more than 30% increase in tons moved in 2023 compared to 2022. The company also ordered a new Komatsu PC8000 electric excavator in September, which reduces carbon intensity by replacing existing diesel excavator production.
The mill processed a total of 3. 2 million tonnes of ore in the third quarter, with an average availability of 83. 5%. A scheduled shutdown of the plant was carried out in September to facilitate the repositioning of the liner and the improvement of the power transmission line. In coordination with BC Hydro, thermal upgrades to the site’s transmission line were completed to assist the site’s 100 MW source for existing and long-term operations. The plant’s performance for the quarter was affected by excess thick curtains passing through the milling circuit and restricting flow. through the tailings discharge line, resulting in high degrees of unplanned downtime. This issue was resolved in August and since then the company has observed continuous innovations in the viaput. A key focus area for Hudbay is the implementation of enhanced maintenance control systems as part of Hudbay’s stabilization plans aimed to increase plant availability.
Crushed copper grades in the third quarter of 2023 were 0. 36%, in line with expectations. Copper recoveries reached 80. 9% in the third quarter, up from the 79. 1% previously reported through Copper Mountain for the full year 2022. As part of the short-term stabilization plans at Copper Mountain, Hudbay plans to implement power projects from the Constancia mill to the Copper Mountain mill for the purpose of concentrate quality and copper recovery.

Copper Mountain stabilization plans underway and consolidated guidance updated to reflect Copper Mountain
Since the final touch of the Copper Mountain acquisition on June 20, 2023, Hudbay has been focused on advancing its plans to stabilize operations, opening the mine by adding more fronts and remobilizing unused haul trucks, optimizing the ore source for the mill. and implement mill improvement initiatives. The Company also plans an accelerated clearing campaign over the next two to three years to allow for higher-grade ore and mitigate the particularly reduced clearing conducted through Copper Mountain in the four years leading up to the final touch-off of the acquisition.
More key points regarding the Company’s stabilization plans will be provided in a new technical report for the Copper Mountain mine, which is expected to be released in the fourth quarter of 2023. The new technical report will include an updated mine plan as well as updated annual production and prices. estimates for the Copper Mountain mine, which will reflect Hudbay’s stabilization and optimization initiatives, as well as pricing related to planned accelerated stripping. The new technical report will also include updated mineral reserve and resource estimates and plant performance assumptions consistent with Hudbay’s pre-acquisition internal testing and consistent with the mineral reserve and resource estimates and performance assumptions disclosed in the old report. Copper Mountain technician dated February 25. 2019. (after accounting for mining depletion). Accordingly, Hudbay does not expect its mineral reserve and resource estimates or mill throughput expansion assumptions to be consistent with those disclosed in Copper Mountain’s most recent technical report dated September 30, 2022. For more information , see “Qualified person and NI 43-101. ” “.
Hudbay publishes first post-acquisition guidance for 2023 on production and costs. The company incorporated guidance from Copper Mountain into its consolidated full-year production and monetary charges guidance. Hudbay’s production and currency charges direction for Peru and Manitoba was also reaffirmed and remains unchanged.
Generate loose money through increased production and continued monetary discipline.
Hudbay generated positive earnings in the third quarter of 2023 as the company executed its plan to obtain higher copper and gold grades at Pampacancha and higher gold grades at Lalor. The company continues to expect particularly high production levels in the second half of 2023, compared to the first part of 2023, due to those higher grades in Peru and Manitoba, as well as the contribution of newly acquired production from Copper Mountain.
During the third quarter, the Company obtained $90 million from its revolving credit facilities to finance the payment of $87 million of principal and interest on the Copper Mountain bonds, which enhanced the Company’s ability to deleverage and pay down debt faster than expecting the bonds to mature in 2026.
The Company increased its money and cash equivalents to $245. 2 million and reduced its net debt to $1,132 million as of September 30, 2023, compared to $179. 7 million and $1,190 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2023. The $58 million is minimized in net debt, along with higher levels of adjusted EBITDAi in the third quarter, boosted the company’s net debt-to-EBITDA ratio compared to the second quarter, the availability of its credit services. After the end of the quarter, Hudbay continued its deleveraging process. efforts with a $40 million repayment of its credit services and a $5 million principal repayment of Copper Mountain bonds in October 2023. The Company also resumed deliveries under the Gold Forward Sale and Prepayment Agreement in October 2023, further cutting the gold prepayment liability.
The company remains on track to meet its annual discretionary spending relief targets for 2023. As a result of continued savings in financial field and capital needs to date, overall capital expenditures for Peru, Manitoba and Arizona in 2023 are expected to be approximately $30 million less. than the previous indicative levels, representing a 10% relief from the initial overall capital expenditure forecast for 2023. This represents a further reduction from the $15 million target relief announced in the second quarter. With the post-acquisition guidance of Copper Mountain, the company expects to make equity investments in its B. C. operations to a total of approximately $35 million in 2023.

A Risk-Free Copper World with an Enhanced Phase I Pre-Feasibility Study
On September 8, 2023, Hudbay published the effects of the Enhanced Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”) for Phase I of the 100% Arizona-owned Copper World Project. The strengths of the PFS include:
Hudbay intends to initiate a joint venture minority partnership procedure prior to commencing a definitive feasibility study, which will allow the potential joint venture component to participate in the financing of the final feasibility study activities as well as the final design of the Copper World project. The option to sanction Copper World is not expected before 2025, based on existing estimated timelines. The resolution to sanction Copper World will ultimately be weighed against other competitive investment opportunities as part of Hudbay’s capital allocation procedure.
Completion of Rockcliff Acquisition
On September 14, 2023, Hudbay effectively completed the previously announced acquisition of Rockcliff, pursuant to which Hudbay acquired all of the issued and notable and non-unusual shares of Rockcliff that it did not already own (the “Rockcliff Transaction”) through legal proceedings. . Progression plan approved. Following the completion of the Rockcliff transaction, Rockcliff is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hudbay.
Hudbay’s trading price, net of Rockcliff’s cash, was approximately $13 million. Hudbay issued 0. 006776 percentages of Hudbay’s non-unusual inventory in exchange for every percentage it held in the past of Rockcliff’s non-unusual inventory, and in total, it issued 2,675,324 Hudbay percentages. inventory not unusual in connection with the Rockcliff Transaction to former Rockcliff shareholders. Rockcliff’s percentages were delisted by the CSE and Rockcliff ceased to be a reporting issuer under Canadian securities laws.
Another exploration update
Constancia Mineral Exploration
Hudbay continues to execute a limited drilling program and technical testing at the Constancia deposit to verify the economic feasibility of adding another extraction to the existing mine plan that would convert a portion of the mineral resources into mineral reserves. The effects of this drilling program and technical and economic testing are expected to be incorporated into the next annual Mineral Resources and Reserves Update in March 2024.
Exploration María Reyna y Caballito
Exploring the snowy lake
Hudbay continues to compile the effects of ongoing infill drilling at Lalor, which will be incorporated into the next annual ore and reserve estimate update in March 2024.
The Company is also preparing plans for exploration activities on the newly acquired lands at Snow Lake, which are expected to include geophysical and drilling systems on the Cook Lake claims and former Rockcliff claims located within trucking distance of the existing Snow Lake processing. infrastructure. Most of the Cook Lake claims and the ancient Rockcliff claims have not been tested by fashionable deep geophysics, such as the Lor deposit discovery approach. Hudbay intends to explore those claims in hopes of locating a new lead deposit to maximize and extend the life of Snow Lake’s operations beyond 2038.
Mason’s Exploration
For the first time since Hudbay acquired Mason, the company announced a drilling program in September 2023 to explore those satellite deposits, adding high-grade skarn targets and a giant porphyry target beneath the old mines. The drilling program is approximately 25% complete by the end of October and the effects of the trial are ending.

Non-IFRS Financial Performance Measures
Adjusted net source of revenue (loss), equity-adjusted net profit (loss), adjusted EBITDA, net debt, money prices, total maintenance, and maintenance of money prices consistent with pounds of police consistent with prices produced, money prices, and money maintenance prices. consistent with the ounce of gold produced, the combined unit prices and indices based on those measures are non-IFRS measures of functionality. These measures do not have a prescribed meaning through IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented through other issuers. These measures do not deserve to be considered in isolation or as a replacement for measures prepared in accordance with IFRS and are not necessarily indicative of a consistent source of income or consistent cash flows as decided in accordance with IFRS. Other corporations may calculate those metrics differently.
Management believes that adjusted net source of income (loss) and percentage-consistent adjusted net source of income (loss) provide a selective measure of the Company’s functionality in the existing period and provide information about its expected functionality in periods consistent in the long term. These measures are used internally across the Company to compare the functionality of its underlying operations and to plan and forecast consistent long-term operations effects. As such, the Company believes such measures are useful to investors when comparing the Company’s underlying functionality. Hudbay provides Adjusted EBITDA to users who analyze the company’s effects and provide further information on its existing money-making potential to assess its ability to service and repay debts, achieve investments and meet current capital needs. Net debt is presented because it is a functional measure used by the company to compare its monetary position. The cash charge, money maintenance charge and all-inclusive money maintenance charge consistent with the police pound produced are shown because the Company believes they assist investors and control when comparing the functionality of its consistent operations, adding margin. generated through consistent relationships with society. The cash charge and maintenance of the cash charge are consistent with the ounce of gold produced are shown because the Company believes they assist investors and control by comparing the functionality of its operations in Manitoba or on a consistent basis. The combined unit charge is shown because Hudbay believes its investors and controls compare the company’s charge design and margins that are not affected by the value of the final Variskill product.
