Cautionary Information
2
This presentation contains forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian and United States securities legislation. All information contained in this presentation, other than statements of current and historical fact, is forward-looking information. Often, but not always, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of words such as plans, expects, budget, guidance, scheduled, estimates, forecasts, strategy, target, intends, objective, goal, understands, anticipates and believes (and variations of these or similar words) and statements that certain actions, events or results may, could, would, should, might occur or be achieved or will be taken (and variations of these or similar expressions). All of the forward-looking information in this presentation is qualified by this cautionary note. Forward-looking information includes, but is not limited to, production, cost and capital and exploration expenditure guidance, anticipated production at Hudbays Constancia mines, the anticipated timing, cost and benefits of developing the Pampacancha deposit, the anticipated impact of any delays to the start of mining the Pampacancha deposit, anticipated exploration plans, including the planned exploration strategy for the properties surrounding Constancia, anticipated mine plans, anticipated optimization initiatives and the expected benefits of such initiatives, anticipated cash flows from operations and related liquidity requirements, the anticipated effect of external factors on revenue, such as commodity prices, estimation of mineral reserves and resources, mine life projections, reclamation costs, economic outlook, government regulation of mining operations, and business and acquisition strategies. Forward-looking information is not, and cannot be, a guarantee of future results or events. Forward-looking information is based on, among other things, opinions, assumptions, estimates and analyses that, while considered reasonable by the company at the date the forward-looking information is provided, inherently are subject to significant risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other factors that may cause actual results and events to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking information. The material factors or assumptions that Hudbay identified and were applied by the company in drawing conclusions or making forecasts or projections set out in the forward-looking information include, but are not limited to: the success of mining, processing, exploration and development activities; the scheduled maintenance and availability of the processing facilities; the accuracy of geological, mining and metallurgical estimates; anticipated metals prices and the costs of production; the supply and demand for metals the company produces; the supply and availability of all forms of energy and fuels at reasonable prices; no significant unanticipated operational or technical difficulties; the execution of Hudbays business and growth strategies, including the success of its strategic investments and initiatives; the availability of additional financing, if needed; the ability to complete project targets on time and on budget and other events that may affect the companys ability to develop its projects; the timing and receipt of various regulatory, governmental and joint venture partner approvals; the availability of personnel for the exploration, development and operational projects and ongoing employee relations; the ability to secure required land rights to develop the Pampacancha deposit; maintaining good relations with the communities in which the company operates, including the communities surrounding the Constancia mine; no significant unanticipated challenges with stakeholders at the companys various projects; no significant unanticipated events or changes relating to regulatory, environmental, health and safety matters; no contests over title to the companys properties, including as a result of rights or claimed rights of aboriginal peoples; the timing and possible outcome of pending litigation and no significant unanticipated litigation; certain tax matters, including, but not limited to current tax laws and regulations and the refund of certain value added taxes from the Canadian and Peruvian governments; and no significant and continuing adverse changes in general economic conditions or conditions in the financial markets (including commodity prices and foreign exchange rates). The risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking information may include, but are not limited to, risks generally associated with the mining industry, such as economic factors (including future commodity prices, currency fluctuations, energy prices and general cost escalation), uncertainties related to the development and operation of Hudbays projects, dependence on key personnel and employee and union relations, risks related to the schedule for mining the Pampacancha deposit (including the timing and cost of acquiring the required surface rights and the cost and impact of any schedule delays), risks related to political or social unrest or change, risks in respect of aboriginal and community relations, rights and title claims, operational risks and hazards, including unanticipated environmental, industrial and geological events and developments and the inability to insure against all risks, failure of plant, equipment, processes, transportation and other infrastructure to operate as anticipated, compliance with government and environmental regulations, including permitting requirements and anti-bribery legislation, depletion of Hudbays reserves, volatile financial markets that may affect Hudbays ability to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, the failure to obtain required approvals or clearances from government authorities on a timely basis, uncertainties related to the geology, continuity, grade and estimates of mineral reserves and resources, and the potential for variations in grade and recovery rates, uncertain costs of reclamation activities, the companys ability to comply with its pension and other post-retirement obligations, Hudbays ability to abide by the covenants in its debt instruments and other material contracts, tax refunds, hedging transactions, as well as the risks discussed under the heading Risk Factors in the companys most recent Annual Information Form. Should one or more risk, uncertainty, contingency or other factor materialize or should any factor or assumption prove incorrect, actual results could vary materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking information. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information. Hudbay does not assume any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information after the date of this presentation or to explain any material difference between subsequent actual events and any forward-looking information, except as required by applicable law. This presentation has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which may differ materially from the requirements of United States securities laws applicable to U.S. issuers.

YTD 2018 Mining Reconciliation
Blue areas are forecast production for 2018; red are YTD actuals Actual production is 93% consistent with mine plan
19
-
Over a period of 10 months, the 2018 LTP Model used for reserves reporting reconciles with actual production within +/-15% for all the elements except Zn
The Au and Mo grade are conservative (-14% and -10% respectively). The performance of the 2018 LTP model for these two elements could potentially be improved through current modifications to the resource modeling process, i.e. integration of blasthole assays
Zn shows an under-estimation problem which deserves further investigations. However, the Zn/Cu ratio of the reserves is well below the problematic threshold of 0.5. Localised high Zn zones are managed through blending with low Zn ore from stockpiles
Long-term Model Reconciliation
Conclusion: Mining progress is according to the Plan and reconciliations show that the Reserves Model is a reliable basis for the long-term plan

Intended Benefit: By aggregating fine particles by magnetic force, ProFlote magnets are intended to recover metal from ultrafine particles (less than 20 microns) that may otherwise end up in tailings
Timeline: Location of magnets currently under evaluation; installation expected to be
completed by Jan 2019

Jameson Cell Intended Benefit: Technology intended to allow removal of liberated and fast floating
minerals to final concentrate, reducing load in downstream circuit
Timeline: Jameson cell sizing performed in May 2018; engineering expected to be completed by end of August 2018
-
Worldwide HydroFloat Pilot Campaigns
50
HydroFloat Cell Intended Benefit: By using an aeration system to disperse fine bubbles into a
fluidized-bed environment, HydroFloat is intended to improve the selective recovery of extracoarse particles (greater than 140 microns) by applying flotation fundamentals to gravity separation
Timeline: Site visits of other operations with similar technology completed in 2017;
studies are underway
-
Particle Size Tracking (PST) (On-line granulometric analysis per cyclones in regrinding; three sizes)
PST is made up of a set of sensors, a junction
box and a computer in the control room
The set of sensors consists of a reinforced probe in contact with the overflow and a set of integrated electronic elements protected by a sealed metal box
The probe is covered by an extremely hard layer that makes it resistant to wear
When the pulp flow hits the probe, it creates an impact acoustic signal; the response is then processed by a set of integrated electronic elements to obtain a measurement of the particle size in the pulp flow
Intended Benefit: Enables real-time closed grind
circuit control and improved recovery without loss of throughput

EVALUATION OF SUCTIONED AIR
Sampling campaign was performed (two days of sampling with open vent (ON) during four hours, followed by closed vent (OFF) for another four hours, successively)
Results of the evaluation of the Rougher flotation circuit (ON-OFF), in Line 01
In general, based on the results and metallurgical balance, observed an increase in valuable particles recovery smaller than 400 micron (-400)
Percentage of improvement in recovery is yet to be determined; additional testing will be conducted
