At the Reed Mine celebration of success and closure last Wednesday there was a positive look to the future. Speaking at the closure Hudbay’s Vice-President of the Manitoba Business Unit Rob Assabqui said exploration goes on. He explained Hudbay believes that there are more deposits to be found in Northern Manitoba and they are investing 15 million dollars in search of one this year. He added when they find their next deposit you can count on them to engage their stakeholders, they’ll continue to be environmentally responsible and they’ll meet their commitments to the communities they operate in, their stakeholders, their regulators and government bodies.
Hudbay CEO Alan Hair also noted the significant ramp up of exploration as they hope to continue mine development in Manitoba for years to come.
