:: HudBay to Re-start Chisel North Mine and Snow Lake Concentrator

HudBay Minerals Inc. has announced that it will re-start operations at its Chisel North mine and concentrator in Snow Lake, Manitoba effective immediately, with full production expected in the second quarter of 2010. The re-start of operations at Snow Lake is expected to provide approximately 30,000 tonnes of zinc concentrate feed to the company's Flin Flon zinc plant annually. The capital costs of the re-start are expected to be approximately CDN$7 million and operating costs are expected to be comparable to what they were prior to the suspension of operations earlier this year.
