HudBay Minerals, Inc. provided production and capital expenditures guidance for the full year of 2016. In 2016, assuming the mid-point of the guidance ranges is achieved, total copper, zinc and precious metals production contained in concentrate, is forecast to increase 12%, 9% and 16%, respectively, over 2015 actual levels, reflecting Constancia's first full year at capacity. Capital expenditure guidance is approximately $300 million for 2016, a decrease of over 20% compared to 2015 guidance.

The spending plans include approximately $270 million of sustaining capital expenditures at Hudbay's current operations plus planned expenditures for advancing the Rosemont project.
