Canadian miner Hudbay Minerals has resumed operations in Snow Lake following the decision by the Manitoba Wildfire Service and the Town of Snow Lake to lift the mandatory wildfire evacuation order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe emergency preparedness and extensive community response efforts were successful in safeguarding Hudbay\u2019s surface infrastructure and facilities in Manitoba during the wildfires,\u201d said John O’Shaughnessy, vice president of Hudbay\u2019s Manitoba Business Unit.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThank you to the essential personnel who remained behind, our employees who were part of the volunteer firefighting efforts, and all the first responders who have been working tirelessly these last few months. We expect a safe return to full operations, and we will continue to work with local and provincial authorities to ensure continued rebuilding of our communities after this difficult wildfire season.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the evacuation order was lifted, the team has completed an infrastructure safety review, including inspection of the shaft and restart of the underground electrical infrastructure. Milling activities at the New Britannia mill resumed on August 26, and the full mining workforce at Lalor has returned as of August 27. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entire Snow Lake operation is expected to reach full production levels by early September, and Hudbay continues to expect to achieve its 2025 annual guidance metrics in Manitoba despite the wildfire impacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
