Forward Looking Informationg
This presentation contains "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Forward-looking information includes but is not limited to information concerning the company’s ability to develop its Lalor project, capital and operating cost assumptions, anticipated production numbers, the ability to meet production forecasts, the potential impact of changing economic conditions on HudBay’s financial results and the company’s strategies and future prospects. G ll f d l ki i f ti b id tifi d b th f f d l ki t i l h " l " " t " "d t t" "i t d"Generally, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "plans", "expects", or "does not expect", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", “understands” or "does not anticipate", or "believes" or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “will”, "may", "could", "would", "might", or "will be taken", "occur", or "be achieved". Forward-looking information is based on the views, opinions, intentions and estimates of management at the date the information is made, and is based on a number of assumptions and subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those anticipated or projected in the forward-looking information (including the actions of other parties who have agreed to do certain things and the approval of certain regulatory bodies).
Many of these assumptions are based on factors and events that are not within the control of HudBay and there is no assurance they will prove to be correct. Factors that could cause actual results or events to vary materially from results or events anticipated by such forward-looking information include the ability to develop and operate the Lalor project on an economic basis and in accordance with anticipated timelines, geological and technical conditions, risks associated with the mining industry such as economic factors (including costs of construction materials, future commodity prices, currency fluctuations and energy prices), failure of plant, equipment, processes and transportation services to operate as anticipated, including new and upgraded facilities at Lalor, dependence on key personnel, employee relations and availability of equipment and skilled personnel, environmental risks, government regulation, actual results of current exploration activities, possible variations in ore grade, dilution or recovery rates, permitting timelines, capital expenditures, reclamation activities, land titles, and social and political developments and other risks of the mining industry as well as those risk factors discussed in the company’s Annual Information Form dated March 31political developments and other risks of the mining industry, as well as those risk factors discussed in the company s Annual Information Form dated March 31, 2010, which risks may cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement.Although HudBay has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. HudBay undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking information if circumstances or management's estimates or opinions should change except as required by applicable securities laws, or to comment on analyses, expectations or statements made by third parties in respect of HudBay, its financial or operating results or its securities. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information.

Lalor Project DisclaimerjHudBay's production decision with respect to Lalor was not based on the results of a pre-feasibility study or feasibility study of mineral resources demonstrating economic or technical viability, because significant portions of the deposit are not able to be classified as a mineral reserve until they can be accessed from underground for additional drilling. Because of this, the production decision was based on mineral resources identified to date and estimates of potential grades and quantities of the gold zone and copper-gold zone, along with other available information, including cost estimates and portions of the engineering design, which have been completed to a level suitable for inclusion in a feasibility study. The preliminaryavailable information, including cost estimates and portions of the engineering design, which have been completed to a level suitable for inclusion in a feasibility study. The preliminary assessment respecting HudBay’s Lalor project is preliminary in nature, includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied that would enable them to be classified as mineral reserves and there is no certainty that the preliminary assessment will be realized. Among the risks associated with the decision to commence production at Lalor is the possibility that the gold zone will not be economically or technically viable, construction timetables, cost estimates and production forecasts may not be realized. The potential quantity and grade of the gold zone and copper-gold zone are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the targets being delineated as mineral resources.

The technical and scientific information included in this presentation was approved by Robert Carter P Eng Manager Project Evaluation of HudBay a “qualified person” for theThe technical and scientific information included in this presentation was approved by Robert Carter, P. Eng, Manager, Project Evaluation of HudBay, a “qualified person” for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101.
Note to U.S. InvestorsInformation concerning the mineral properties of the Company has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian securities laws, which differ in material respects from the requirements of SEC Industry Guide 7. Under SEC Industry Guide 7, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time of the reserve determination, and the SEC does not recognize the reporting of mineral deposits which do not meet the SEC Industry Guide 7 definition of “Reserve”. In accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the terms “mineral reserve”, “proven mineral reserve”, “probable mineral reserve”, “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated , , p , p , , ,mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are defined in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves adopted by the CIM Council on December 11, 2005. While the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are recognized and required by NI 43-101, the SEC does not recognize them. You are cautioned that, except for that portion of mineral resources classified as mineral reserves, mineral resources do not have demonstrated economic value. Inferred mineral resources have a high degree of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be economically or legally mined. Under Canadian securities laws, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of an economic analysis. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Therefore, you are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists, that it can be economically or legally mined, or that it will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Likewise, you are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated mineral resources will ever be upgraded into mineral reserves. You are urged to consider closely the disclosure on the technical terms in Schedule A “Glossary of Mining Terms” of our AIF for the fiscal year ended December 31 2010 available on SEDAR at www sedar com and incorporated by reference as Exhibit 99 1 in our Form 40 F filedof Mining Terms of our AIF for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and incorporated by reference as Exhibit 99.1 in our Form 40-F filed on March 31, 2011 (File No. 001- 34244).

1 Revenues and costs from Lalor operations prior to commencement of commercial production will be capitalized2 The 165,000 tonnes of forecast production from the Chisel North mine is anticipated to consist of 108,000 tonnes of zinc ore at 7.1% zinc to be processed at HudBay's Snow Lakeconcentrator, and 57,000 tonnes of copper/gold ore to be processed at the Flin Flon concentrator. The expected grade for the copper/gold ore is 2.1 g/t Au, 20.6 g/t Ag, 1.6% Cu and0.9% Zn.3 Forecast unit operating costs are calculated on the same basis as reported unit operating costs in HudBay’s quarterly and annual management’s discussion and analysis. For areconciliation of the costs that are included in unit operating costs to total operating costs in accordance with IFRS, refer to the Non-IFRS detailed cost of sales table in HudBay’sMD&A for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Reserves and Resources
• To estimate mineral reserves, measured and indicated mineral resources were first estimated by a 12-step, y pprocess, which includes determination of the integrity and validation of the data collected, including confirmationof specific gravity, assay results and methods of data recording. The process also includes determining theappropriate geological model, selection of data and the application of statistical models including probability plotsand restrictive kriging to establish continuity and model validation. The resultant estimates of measured andindicated mineral resources are then converted to proven and probable mineral reserves by the application of
i i dil ti d ll th d t i ti f i i bilit f ll t d b i imining dilution and recovery, as well as the determination of economic viability on a fully costed basis usinghistorical operating costs. Other factors such as depletion from production are applied as appropriate. Long termmetal prices, excluding premiums, used to determine economic viability of the 2010 mineral reserves were US$900 oz. gold, US $15.00 oz. silver, US $2.50 lb. copper and US $0.95 lb. zinc.
• The 2011 estimated mineral reserves were prepared under the supervision of Robert Carter, P.Eng., who isp p p , g ,employed by HudBay Minerals Inc. as Manager, Project Evaluation and who is a Qualified Person as defined byNI 43-101.
