Hudbay Reaches a Mutually Agreed Settlement in Longstanding Civil Lawsuits Related to Former Guatemala Operations

Hudbay Minerals Inc. (“Hudbay” or the “company”) today announced that it has reached a final settlement with all plaintiffs in three civil lawsuits brought against the company regarding alleged actions that occurred in Guatemala in 2007 and 2009. This settlement concludes all outstanding legal matters related to Hudbay’s former activities in Guatemala. Hudbay was named in the civil suits because of its ownership of the Fenix nickel project, which was acquired in 2008. In one of the lawsuits, brought by 11 female plaintiffs, the allegations against the Guatemalan company that owns the project predate Hudbay’s ownership. In 2011, Hudbay divested itself of its holdings in Guatemala and has had no operations there since that time.

“Hudbay is pleased to have reached a mutually agreed settlement that covers all three cases against the company. These matters have been outstanding for more than a decade, and the Board and management at Hudbay are pleased to bring them to a conclusion,” said Peter Kukielski, Hudbay’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “In doing so, we recognized the difficult economic and social circumstances of the plaintiffs and we are thankful for a constructive resolution with the plaintiffs and their counsel.”
