Cautionary Information (continued) The scientific and technical information in respect of Hudbay contained in this presentation related to the Constancia project has been prepared by or under the supervision of Cashel Meagher, P.Geo., Hudbays Vice President, South America Business Unit. The scientific and technical information related to all other sites and projects of Hudbay contained in this presentation has been prepared by or under the supervision of Robert Carter, P.Eng., Hudbays Director, Technical Services. Messrs. Meagher and Carter are Qualified Persons for the purposes of NI 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. ( NI 43-101 ). The mineral reserve and resource estimates included in or underlying assumptions referenced in this presentation were prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and the Canadian Institute on Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves: Definitions and Guidelines. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. For a description of the key assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate mineral reserves and resources, as well as data verification procedures and a general discussion of the extent to which the estimates may be affected by any known environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing or other relevant factors, please see the Technical Reports for each of Hudbays properties as filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The disclosure in this presentation uses mineral resource classification terms and mineral resource estimates that comply with NI 43-101. NI 43-101 establishes standards for all public disclosure a Canadian issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. Unless otherwise indicated, all reserve and resource estimates contained herein have been prepared in accordance with NI 43-101. These standards differ significantly from the mineral reserve disclosure requirements of the SEC set forth in Industry Guide 7. Consequently, reserve and resource information contained herein is not comparable to similar information that would generally be disclosed by U.S. companies in accordance with the rules of the SEC. In particular, the SECs Industry Guide 7 applies different standards in order to classify mineralization as a reserve. As a result, the definitions of proven and probable reserves used in NI 43-101 differ from the definitions in SEC Industry Guide 7. Under SEC standards, 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 the reserve determination is made. Among other things, all necessary permits would be required to be in hand or their issuance imminent in order to classify mineralized material as reserves under the SEC standards. Accordingly, mineral reserve estimates referred to herein may not qualify as reserves under SEC standards. In addition, the terms measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources and inferred mineral resources are used to comply with the reporting standards in Canada. The SECs Industry Guide 7 does not recognize mineral resources and U.S. companies are generally not permitted to disclose resources in documents they file with the SEC. Investors are specifically cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into SEC defined mineral reserves. Further, inferred resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Therefore, investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred resource exists. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources, or inferred mineral resources will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part of the reported measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources, or inferred mineral resources contained herein is economically or legally mineable. For the above reasons, information contained herein containing descriptions of mineral reserve and resource estimates is not comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC.
