Revenue model
- Copper Production and Sales: Hudbay's primary revenue stream comes from mining and selling copper concentrate and cathode. Copper is produced at Constancia (Peru), Snow Lake (Manitoba), and Copper Mountain (British Columbia). Pricing follows LME benchmarks with treatment and refining charges deducted. Production is approximately 125,000 tonnes annually, with growth targets to 250,000+ tonnes by 2030.
- Gold Production and Sales: Gold is a significant by-product revenue stream, representing 39% of gross revenue in Q1 2026. Gold is produced as doré and in concentrate from all three operations. Revenue is realized at spot gold prices.
- Zinc, Silver and Molybdenum By-Products: Hudbay generates additional revenue from zinc concentrate, silver, and molybdenum produced as by-products at its mining operations. These metals contribute meaningful by-product credits that reduce net cash costs of copper production.

Products and services
- Copper (Primary Metal) Copper concentrate and cathode produced from all three operating mines (Constancia in Peru, Snow Lake in Manitoba, Copper Mountain in British Columbia) and planned from the Copper World and Cactus development projects. Sold to global smelters, refiners, and commodity trading houses at LME benchmark prices. Hudbay's strategic focus metal and primary revenue driver, currently produced at approximately 125,000 tonnes annually with a target of 250,000+ tonnes by 2030 and 350,000+ tonnes with full Cactus development.
- Gold (By-Product) Precious metal produced as doré and in concentrate as a significant by-product at Snow Lake (Manitoba) and Copper Mountain (British Columbia), with by-product credits also from Constancia. Represented 39% of gross revenue in Q1 2026, providing meaningful diversification and exposure to spot gold prices.
- Zinc (By-Product) Base metal produced as by-product at Hudbay's Snow Lake operations in Manitoba, particularly from Lalor mine's base metal zones. Zinc concentrate contributes meaningful by-product credits that reduce net cash costs of copper production and is exported to European smelters.
- Silver (By-Product) Precious metal produced as a by-product across all three operating mines (Constancia, Snow Lake, and Copper Mountain), with concentrated production from the New Ingerbelle expansion projected at approximately 5.5 million ounces of silver over its mine life.
- Molybdenum (By-Product) Specialty metal produced as by-product at the Constancia mine in Peru, sold to industrial buyers and contributing to by-product credits that support negative net cash costs of copper production.
- Constancia Mine Open-pit copper mining operation in Chumbivilcas, southern Peru, producing copper concentrate with gold, silver, and molybdenum as by-products. Hudbay's primary copper operation with mineral reserves of 488 million tonnes at 0.24% copper and a permitted throughput increase to 31.1 million tonnes annually. Mine life extended to 2040.
- Snow Lake Operations Gold-copper-zinc mining complex in Manitoba, Canada, comprising the Lalor mine, New Britannia gold mill, Stall base metals concentrator, the 1901 zinc-gold deposit, and several satellite deposits. Produces gold as the primary product with copper and zinc as by-products. Mine life extended to 2041 and the site is hosting Canada's first SART plant under construction with BQE Water.
- Copper Mountain Mine Open-pit copper mine in southern British Columbia, Canada, producing copper concentrate with gold and silver as by-products. Hudbay owns 100% following the April 2025 buyout of the remaining 25% interest from Mitsubishi Materials. Mineral reserves total 345 million tonnes at 0.26% copper and 0.12 g/t gold, supporting mine life to 2045; the New Ingerbelle expansion will access higher-grade mineralization.
- Copper World Project Major copper development project in Pima County, Arizona, consisting of four open-pit copper mines, in which Mitsubishi Corporation holds a 30% joint-venture interest (with Hudbay at 70%). Definitive feasibility study on track for mid-2026 and sanctioning decision expected in 2026, with construction financed in part by $52 million of Arizona Industrial Development Authority Solid Waste Disposal Revenue Bonds. Targets production of more than 85,000 tonnes of copper annually.
- Cactus Project Copper development project in Arizona acquired through Hudbay's June 2026 all-stock acquisition of Arizona Sonoran Copper Company (approximately US$1.48 billion). Open-pit heap leach-SXEW operation expected to produce approximately 103,000 tonnes of copper cathodes annually over the first 10 years. Part of the combined Arizona copper district with the Copper World project.
