Large Snow Lake Exploration Program Continues to Execute Threefold Strategy

Hudbay continues to execute the largest exploration program in Snow Lake in the Company's history through extensive geophysical surveying and multi-phased drilling campaigns as part of Hudbay's threefold exploration strategy:

• Near-mine exploration at Lalor and 1901 further increase near-term production and extend mine life - Following the positive initial step-out drilling from the exploration drift at the 1901 deposit earlier this year, Hudbay completed the development of the drift in the second quarter of 2025, and in June, the first zinc-rich ore from the 1901 mining area was delivered for processing at Stall. Activities at 1901 over the next two years will prioritize exploration, definition drilling, orebody access, and establishing critical infrastructure for full production in 2027. The additional exploration at 1901 planned for later in 2025 will target additional step-out drill holes to potentially extend the ore body and infill drilling to convert inferred mineral resources in the gold lenses to mineral reserves. The Company also expects to continue drilling down plunge of lenses 27 and 17 at Lalor once wildfire conditions improve.

• Testing regional satellite deposits to utilize available processing capacity and increase production - Hudbay increased its regional land package by more than 250% in 2023 through the acquisition of Rockcliff Metals Corp., which included the addition of several known deposits located within trucking distance of the Snow Lake processing infrastructure. The deposits acquired as part of the Rockcliff Metals Corp. acquisition, together with several deposits already owned by Hudbay in Snow Lake, have created an attractive portfolio of regional deposits in Snow Lake, including the Talbot, Rail, Pen II, Watts, 3 Zone and WIM deposits. The continued strong performance from the New Britannia mill has freed up processing capacity at the Stall mill, where there is approximately 1,500 tonnes per day of available capacity which could be utilized by the regional satellite deposits to increase production and extend the life of the Snow Lake operations beyond 2037. Hudbay commenced an extensive summer drill program at the Talbot deposit in July focused on expanding the known mineralization and testing geophysical targets.

• Exploring large land package for new anchor deposit to significantly extend mine life - A majority of the land claims acquired as part of the Rockcliff Metals Corp. acquisition have been untested by modern deep geophysics, which was the discovery method for the Lalor deposit. A large geophysics program is currently underway consisting of surface electromagnetic surveys using cutting edge techniques that enable the team to detect targets at depths of almost 1,000 metres below surface. The planned geophysics program in 2025 is the largest geophysics program in Hudbay's history and includes 800 kilometres of ground electromagnetic surveys and an extensive airborne geophysics survey. The summer geophysics program is currently paused due to the regional wildfires and is expected to resume once the conditions improve and the evacuation orders are lifted.

Maria Reyna and Caballito Drill Permits Update

Hudbay controls a large, contiguous block of mineral rights with the potential to host satellite mineral deposits in close proximity to the Constancia processing facility, including the past producing Caballito property and the highly prospective Maria Reyna property. The Company commenced the drill permitting process at Maria Reyna and Caballito after completing a surface rights exploration agreement with the community of Uchucarcco in August 2022. As part of the drill permitting process, environmental impact assessment (EIA) applications were approved by the government in June 2024 for Maria Reyna and September 2024 for Caballito. The remaining steps in the drill permitting process include the completion by the government of the Consulta Previa consultation process with the local community.
