TORONTO — Hudbay Minerals Inc. is once again suspending its Snow Lake mining operations due to wildfires in northwestern Manitoba.
The province has declared a state of emergency and the town of Snow Lake has issued a mandatory evacuation order for its 1,000 residents.
It's the second such order since early June, when Hudbay halted work for about two weeks at its nearby gold, zinc and copper mine.
The Toronto-based company says a limited workforce remains on site for ongoing maintenance and to help with emergency activities.
Hudbay says it believes its infrastructure is well protected and at low risk of being damaged.
It expects to meet its annual targets for Manitoba this year, despite the wildfire impacts.
