HudBay Mitarbeiter haben brutal Eingeborene von ihren Dörfern vertrieben.

Dabei wurden 11 Frauen vergewaltigt, der Dorfälteste getötet,
ein junger Mann wurde schwer verletzt und ist nun querschnittsgelähmt:

Dear friends,

When security forces of a Canadian mining company brutally evicted Mayan families from their villages in Guatemala, eleven women were raped, a community leader was killed, and a young man paralyzed. Now villagers are standing up and suing HudBay Minerals for these horrific crimes -- but they need our help to match the corporate legal firepower and win their case!

The victims have filed a lawsuit in Canada, where HudBay’s headquarters are located. But HudBay is asking that the court turn over the lawsuit to Guatemala, where its weak courts are likely to let them go free. Experts say that the ruling could have massive reverberations beyond Canadian borders -- a win for the plaintiffs could force HudBay and other multinationals to clean up their acts abroad.

The court hearing is happening now and the plaintiffs need our help to cover the legal costs -- if we raise enough funds, we can give these villagers the same legal firepower as HudBay’s corporate machine, achieve justice for the victims, and continue campaigning to protect human rights over profits around the world. Click on the link below to chip in. If just 20,000 of us donate today, we could help end these mining murders for good by setting a key legal precedent:

https://secure.avaaz.org/en/stop_murder_and_rape_for_profit/…

Multinational companies are responsible for some of the most terrible crimes all over the world but shockingly, corporate abuses often go unpunished. In mining alone, corporate giants like Rio Tinto and Barrick Gold are accused of a wide range of atrocities that include environmental destruction, brutal gang rapes, and even thousands of deaths -- from Tanzania to Papua New Guinea. Winning this case could begin to put corporate wrongdoing in check.

Companies like HudBay can often act with impunity because they think their countries' courts won’t police the crimes they commit overseas. Or they set up shell corporations designed to protect their headquarters from liability. If we win this case, it could set a precedent that can help stop rapes, save entire villages, and protect fragile ecosystems -- no matter where these companies operate.

These firms have millions of dollars and will do whatever it takes to win this and similar cases because they know it’s a game changer. Giving just a small amount will help in the fight to bring them to justice. Click here to help:

Courts are supposed to be places where people go to get justice. But all too often, corporate interests have made them the bastions of the rich and powerful. We have taken on deep rooted corruption before and won. Now let's stand with and empower these victims and help create a world where no one is above the law.

With hope and determination,

Emma, Jamie, Pascal, Ari, Ricken, Maria Paz, Diego and the whole Avaaz team

Der Kupferproduzent HudBay Minerals (WKN A0DPL4) geht davon aus, das für 2011 angestrebte Produktionsvolumen von 40.000 bis 55.000 Tonnen Kupfer, 70.000 bis 90.000 Tonnen Zink und 95.000 bis 120.000 Unzen an Edelmetallen erreichen zu können.

Darüber hinaus erklärte das Unternehmen, dass man Investitionen in Höhe von 71 Mio. Dollar für den Bau des Kupferprojekts Reed, an dem HudBay 70% hält, freigegeben hat.
Auf dem Reed-Projekt sollten nach geplantem Erreichen der Vollproduktion Ende 2013 rund 17.000 Tonnen Kupfermetall pro Jahr produziert werden. Das Minenleben wird bislang auf fünf Jahre geschätzt.

Insgesamt allerdings, warnt HudBay, wird die Kupfermetallproduktion in Konzentrat im kommenden Jahr voraussichtlich sinken, da die Minen Trout Lake und Chisel North im Jahresverlauf 2012 geschlossen werden sollen. Die Edelmetall und Zinkproduktion soll hingegen auf dem Niveau von 2011 bleiben. Die Prognose für den Ausstoß 2012 liegt bei 35.000 bis 40.000 Tonnen Kupfer, 70.000 bis 85.000 Tonnen Zink und 85.000 bis 105.000 Unzen an Edelmetallen.

HudBay Minerals hat zudem für das kommende Jahr 54 Mio. Dollar für Explorationsaktivitäten budgetiert. Das würde ausreichen, um mehr als 130.000 Meter an Bohrungen auf den Projekten im Portfolio des Unternehmens durchzuführen

HudBay Minerals Releases Third Quarter 2011 Results / Strong Production Results as Company Still on Track to Meet 2011 Guidance

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 11/02/11 -- HudBay Minerals Inc. (TSX: HBM)(NYSE: HBM)

Highlights

-- Strong third quarter production and cost results as full year mine
performance still on target
-- Operating cash flow before changes in non-cash working capital(i) grew
to $58.3 million in the third quarter of 2011 from $25.6 million in the
same period last year
-- Lalor development proceeding well with the ventilation shaft now sunk to
the 190 metre level and the planned 3,200 metre access ramp currently
advanced to 2,900 metres
-- Applications submitted for key development permits for the Reed copper
deposit
-- Exploration drilling at Constancia's high-grade Pampacancha deposit
continues to demonstrate the continuity of the deposit. A resource
estimate on Pamapcancha is expected by Q1 2012. Front end engineering
and design well advanced with long lead orders commencing


HudBay Minerals Inc. ("HudBay", the "company") today released its third quarter 2011 financial results. The company reported a net loss of $41.1 million, or $0.23 per share, in the third quarter of 2011, compared to a loss of $0.01 per share in the third quarter of 2010. Operating cash flow before changes in non-cash working capital(i) more than doubled to $58.3 million, or $0.34 per share, in the third quarter of 2011 from $25.6 million, or $0.17 per share, in 2010 mainly as a result of higher sales volumes and higher prices received for copper and gold.

Third quarter 2011 profit under IFRS was negatively affected by a number of non-cash, unusual charges, all of which are presented after-tax:

Impairment on the company's investment in
Zochem Inc. $5.0 million ($0.03 per share)
Impairments on available-for-sale investments $2.2 million ($0.01 per share)
Impairments on zinc inventory $2.9 million ($0.02 per share)
Foreign currency translation and other loss $22.5 million ($0.13 per
on disposal of Fenix share)
Impact on deferred taxes of changes to $19.0 million ($0.11 per
Peruvian tax law share)
Impact on deferred taxes of change in
discount rates on decommissioning and
restoration liabilities $7.9 million ($0.05 per share)


"Our operating mines delivered very strong performance during the third quarter of 2011. With the transportation bottleneck in Manitoba resolved, our sales volumes have increased significantly, resulting in strong cash flows," said David Garofalo, HudBay's president and chief executive officer. "We also continue to execute well on our production growth objectives as Lalor advances to first production by the middle of 2012 and Constancia project engineering, optimization and exploration are expected to lead to a formal project decision by the first quarter of 2012. In addition, the submission of permit applications for the Reed copper deposit and continued pre-feasibility work on Back Forty give HudBay incremental growth opportunities."

Strong Revenue Growth Due to Higher Metals Prices and Sales Volumes

Revenues increased to $212.3 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $167.8 million in 2010. Revenue growth was driven by higher metal prices and sales volumes. Increased availability of railcars helped to substantially eliminate the stockpile of copper concentrate in Flin Flon that had previously accumulated. HudBay continues to expect copper concentrate sales to exceed production in the fourth quarter of 2011, resulting in the sale of most of the remaining excess inventory.

Due to the extraction of higher-value copper ore, copper and gold grades at 777 are anticipated to be higher than 2011 guidance, whereas 777 zinc grades are expected to be lower than 2011 guidance. The reduced 777 zinc grades are expected to be partially offset by higher zinc grades from Trout Lake, which are expected to average 3.4% for 2011 compared to previous guidance of 2.8%.

Co-product costs per unit sold in the third quarter of 2011 were $1.63 per pound of copper, $500 per ounce of gold and $0.94 per pound of zinc.(i) For the first nine months of 2011, co-product costs of copper decreased compared to the same period in 2010 mainly as a result of higher by-product credits from the sale of miscellaneous copper bearing material, while zinc co-product costs increased mainly as a result of reduced zinc oxide and other by-product credits.

HudBay continued to achieve good cost control at its operations, with operating costs per tonne at the 777 mine, the Flin Flon concentrator and zinc plant all expected to remain within the range of guidance for 2011 as set forth in HudBay's press release dated December 13, 2010. Mining operating costs at the Trout Lake mine remain above comparable 2010 levels due to additional expensed development work associated with extending mine life. Trout Lake's mine life is now expected to be extended to June 2012 from early 2012 as previously projected.

Strong Cash Flow Generation

Operating cash flow before changes in non-cash working capital(i) increased to $58.3 million, or $0.34 per share, in the third quarter of 2011 from $25.6 million, or $0.17 per share, in 2010 mainly as a result of higher sales volumes and higher prices received for copper and gold. Capital expenditures increased to $69.2 million due to the acceleration of construction at Lalor and commencement of pre-construction activities at Constancia, offset in part by reduced sustaining capital expenditures.

Cash and cash equivalents increased to $871.1 million at September 30, 2011 from $747.7 million at June 30, 2011. The increase in cash and cash equivalents during the third quarter 2011 was due mainly to proceeds realized on the sale of the Fenix project of US $140 million and operating cash flow of $78.5 million, only partly offset by capital investments of $69.2 million, strategic investments of $8.7 million and payment of dividends of $17.2 million.

Together with our unused credit lines, HudBay has available liquidity of approximately $1.1 billion and no debt. While the company believes that the Lalor and Constancia projects can be financed from existing resources and future cash flows, it expects to arrange additional debt financing at either the corporate or project level to maintain optimum financial flexibility.

Lalor Development and Site Construction Proceeding Well;
Ramp Nearing Completion and First Underground Drilling Expected in Q1 2012


The Lalor project has now gone over 693 days without a lost time accident. The company continues to make significant progress on the planned 3,200 metre access ramp at the Lalor project, having advanced close to 2,900 metres since the start of the project in December 2009. By the fourth quarter of 2011, the ramp is intended to extend to the 810 metre base of the ventilation shaft, which is now approximately 23% complete. By early 2012, diamond drilling from underground will commence for the first time at Lalor. Initial drilling will focus on delineating the first ore production and finalizing infrastructure development. Initial ore production up the ventilation shaft is expected by the middle of 2012.

Construction is progressing well on the main site with the water treatment plant building completed and electrical and mechanical installation ongoing. The main shaft collar presink has been completed and the sinking galloway for the main shaft sinking was put in place mid-October. The bin house steel, waste bunker and the hoist house are well advanced. Work over the next few months will be focused on the headframe steel erection and cladding. Detailed engineering around the design of the new concentrator is underway with procurement expected to commence early in 2012.

Two drills continued to operate near the Lalor project testing geophysical targets. These drills will continue to operate for the remainder of the year. The targets being tested are peripheral to the Lalor deposit and are part of a program exploring for new zones of mineralization.

Exploration Drilling Continues at the Constancia Project;
Hole PO-11-086 intercepted 49 metres with 1.83% copper and 0.95 g/t gold at

HudBay to boost investment in Lalor project


Reuters reported that HudBay Minerals Inc plans to boost its investment in the Lalor zinc copper gold project in Manitoba in a move to expand output and reduce long term operating costs.

The project, which is set to begin production in the Q2 of 2012 will be one of HudBay's flagship assets as operations at its Chisel North mine in Manitoba begin to wind down next year.

HudBay said that it now plans to spend CAD 144 million to build a new concentrator at Lalor, instead of refurbishing its existing concentrator at Snow Lake in Manitoba. This coupled with new plant technology, will boost mine life and reduce operating costs at Lalor.

Mr David Garofalo CEO of HudBay said that "Based on the improved economics, we are very comfortable making an incremental investment in a new concentrator. The move boosts its ore processing capacity at the site by nearly 30%. The new concentrator will be capable of processing 4,500 tonnes of ore per day once it is commissioned in 2014.”

HudBay said that including the new concentrator the total estimated project cost for Lalor is now CAD 704 million. The increased investment will help cut average operating costs at Lalor to CAD 52 per tonne from about CAD 80 per tonne.
