OUR HISTORY
IN MANITOBA
We are proud to have called Manitoba home for almost a century and are committed to being a strong partner in the region.
Since our first discovery in 1915, which gave Flin Flon its name, Hudbay has developed and operated 29 mines in the Flin Flon – Snow Lake Greenstone Belt and will continue to evaluate future exploration programs in the area while continuing with operations in Snow Lake.
Our primary operation in Manitoba will shift to our Lalor mine in Snow Lake, where we recently completed the refurbishment of the New Britannia mill. The is expected to increase our annual gold production from Snow Lake to over 180,000 ounces of gold on average over the next six years.
1927: After feasibility testing and building a pilot mill in Flin Flon, Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting is incorporated.
1930: Production begins at Flin Flon. At the time, Flin Flon was one of the largest industrial development projects in the Western Hemisphere, second only to the Panama Canal in scale.
