CAUTIONARY INFORMATION
2
This presentation contains forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian and United States securities legislation. All information contained in this presentation, other than statements of current and historical fact, is forward-looking information. Often, but not always, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “budget”, “guidance”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “strategy”, “target”, “intends”, “objective”, “goal”, “understands”, “anticipates” and “believes” (and variations of these or similar words) and statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “might” “occur” or “be achieved” or “will be taken” (and variations of these or similar expressions). All of the forward-looking information in this presentation is qualified by this cautionary note. Forward-looking information includes, but is not limited to, production, cost and capital and exploration expenditure guidance, anticipated production at Hudbay’s mines and processing facilities, the anticipated timing, cost and benefits of developing the Rosemont project and Pampacancha deposit, the anticipated impact of any delays to the start of mining the Pampacancha deposit, the anticipated results of litigation challenging the Rosemont permitting process, anticipated exploration plans, including the planned exploration and development strategy for the Lalor gold zones, the exploration potential at Lalor, including the possibility of converting inferred mineral resources to higher confidence categories and establishing additional mineral resources through testing the continuity of the mineralized zones, the anticipated continued success of utilizing a selective mining method to mine the high grade gold zones, anticipated mine plans, anticipated metals prices and the anticipated sensitivity of the company’s financial performance to metals prices, events that may affect its operations and development projects, the permitting, development and financing of the Rosemont project, the potential to optimize the scale of production at Lalor and to efficiently process the excess base metals ore and initial gold zone ore production at the Flin Flon mill, anticipated cash flows from operations and related liquidity requirements, the anticipated effect of external factors on revenue, such as commodity prices, estimation of mineral reserves and resources, mine life projections, reclamation costs, economic outlook, government regulation of mining operations, and business and acquisition strategies. Forward-looking information is not, and cannot be, a guarantee of future results or events. Forward-looking information is based on, among other things, opinions, assumptions, estimates and analyses that, while considered reasonable by the company at the date the forward-looking information is provided, inherently are subject to significant risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other factors that may cause actual results and events to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking information. The material factors or assumptions that Hudbay identified and were applied by the company in drawing conclusions or making forecasts or projections set out in the forward-looking information include, but are not limited to: the success of mining, processing, exploration and development activities; the scheduled maintenance and availability of the processing facilities; the accuracy of geological, mining and metallurgical estimates; anticipated metals prices and the costs of production; the supply and demand for metals the company produces; the supply and availability of all forms of energy and fuels at reasonable prices; no significant unanticipated operational or technical difficulties; the execution of Hudbay’s business and growth strategies, including the success of its strategic investments and initiatives; the availability of additional financing, if needed; the ability to complete project targets on time and on budget and other events that may affect the company’s ability to develop its projects; the timing and receipt of various regulatory, governmental and joint venture partner approvals; the availability of personnel for the exploration, development and operational projects and ongoing employee relations; the ability to secure required land rights to develop the Pampacancha deposit; maintaining good relations with the communities in which the company operates, including the communities surrounding the Constancia mine and Rosemont project and First Nations communities surrounding the Lalor and Reed mines; no significant unanticipated challenges with stakeholders at the company’s various projects; no significant unanticipated events or changes relating to regulatory, environmental, health and safety matters; no contests over title to the company’s properties, including as a result of rights or claimed rights of aboriginal peoples; the timing and possible outcome of pending litigation and no significant unanticipated litigation; certain tax matters, including, but not limited to current tax laws and regulations and the refund of certain value added taxes from the Canadian and Peruvian governments; and no significant and continuing adverse changes in general economic conditions or conditions in the financial markets (including commodity prices and foreign exchange rates). The risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking information may include, but are not limited to, risks generally associated with the mining industry, such as economic factors (including future commodity prices, currency fluctuations, energy prices and general cost escalation), uncertainties related to the development and operation of Hudbay’s projects (including risks associated with the permitting, development and economics of the Rosemont project and related legal challenges), risks related to the exploration and development program at Lalor, including the inability to convert inferred mineral resources to higher confidence categories and to identify additional mineral resources, and risks associated with the selective mining of the high grade gold zones, risks related to the maturing nature of the 777 mine and the pending closure of the Reed mine and their impact on the related Flin Flon metallurgical complex, dependence on key personnel and employee and union relations, risks related to the schedule for mining the Pampacancha deposit (including the timing and cost of acquiring the required surface rights and the cost and impact of any schedule delays), risks related to political or social unrest or change, risks in respect of aboriginal and community relations, rights and title claims, operational risks and hazards, including unanticipated environmental, industrial and geological events and developments and the inability to insure against all risks, failure of plant, equipment, processes, transportation and other infrastructure to operate as anticipated, compliance with government and environmental regulations, including permitting requirements and anti-bribery legislation, depletion of Hudbay’s reserves, volatile financial markets that may affect Hudbay’s ability to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, the failure to obtain required approvals or clearances from government authorities on a timely basis, uncertainties related to the geology, continuity, grade and estimates of mineral reserves and resources, and the potential for variations in grade and recovery rates, uncertain costs of reclamation activities, the company’s ability to comply with its pension and other post-retirement obligations, Hudbay’s ability to abide by the covenants in its debt instruments and other material contracts, tax refunds, hedging transactions, as well as the risks discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the company’s most recent Annual Information Form. Should one or more risk, uncertainty, contingency or other factor materialize or should any factor or assumption prove incorrect, actual results could vary materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking information. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information. Hudbay does not assume any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information after the date of this presentation or to explain any material difference between subsequent actual events and any forward-looking information, except as required by applicable law. This presentation has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which may differ materially from the requirements of United States securities laws applicable to U.S. issuers. This presentation contains certain financial measures which are not recognized under IFRS, such as net debt, cash cost and sustaining cash cost, net of by-product credits, per pound of copper produced. For further details on how Hudbay calculates these measures in respect of its operating assets, please refer to page 39 of Hudbay’s management’s discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2017 available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

OPERATING AND FREE CASH FLOW1
Note: LTM = Last Twelve Months. 1. Operating cash flow is operating cash flow before change in non-cash working capital. Free cash flow calculated as operating cash flow less sustaining capital expenditures and less interest paid. 2. Net debt calculated as total long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents. Net debt is a non-IFRS financial performance measure with no standardized definition under IFRS. For further information and a
detailed reconciliation, please refer to Hudbay’s management’s discussion and analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

COPPER SUPPLY/DEMAND OUTLOOK
Probable projects are required to come on by 2019 in order to balance market; structural deficit exists beyond 2024 Near-term surplus projected by Wood Mackenzie amounts to less than 1% of annual production in any given year and is highly sensitive to supply disruptions An increasing proportion of demand for power is being met from renewable energy sources; copper a critical component of the “green economy” Increase in the demand for electric vehicles will have a significant impact on copper fundamentals; copper demand in EVs expected to increase from 185,000 tonnes in 2017 to 1.74 million tonnes in 2027 Low susceptibility to demand disruption

Note: “Tons” or “t” on this page refer to short tons, not metric tonnes, unless otherwise noted. LOM = Life of Mine. As per NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Rosemont Project dated March 30, 2017. 1. Economic analysis assumes $3.00/lb Cu, $11.00/lb Mo, and precious metal streaming price of $3.90/oz Ag, subject to 1% annual inflation adjustment after three years. Hudbay basis adjusts for
joint venture partner expected payments to earn into their minority interest and outstanding joint venture loan owed to Hudbay. 2. Hudbay’s ownership in the Rosemont project is subject to an earn-in agreement with United Copper & Moly LLC (“UCM”), a Korean consortium, pursuant to which UCM has earned a 7.95% interest
in the project and may earn up to a 20% interest. 3. Production is contained metal in concentrate. 4. Combined mine, mill and G&A unit operating costs per tonne of ore processed (after impact of capitalized stripping). 5. Net of by-products. Includes impact of precious metal stream. Metal prices per the precious metals stream agreement are as follows: $3.90/oz Ag, $450/oz Au. Other metal price assumptions are
as follows: $3.00/lb Cu, $11.00/lb Mo, $18/oz Ag. 6. Sustaining capital includes capitalized stripping costs. 7. Sustaining cash cost per pound copper produced, includes sustaining capital costs and royalties.

1. Based on 100% ownership of the Rosemont project; Hudbay currently owns a 92.05% interest in the project and its ownership interest is subject to an Earn-In Agreement with UCM, pursuant to which UCM has earned a 7.95% interest in the project and may earn up to a 20% interest.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The reserve and resource estimates included in this presentation were prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves: Definitions and Guidelines.
The mineral resource estimates in this presentation are exclusive of mineral reserves. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
The technical and scientific information in this presentation related to the Constancia mine and the Rosemont project has been approved by Cashel Meagher, P. Geo, Hudbay’s Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. The technical and scientific information related to the Manitoba sites and projects contained in this presentation has been approved by Robert Carter, P. Eng, Hudbay’s General Manager Mining Operations, Manitoba Business Unit. Messrs. Meagher and Carter are qualified persons pursuant to NI 43-101. 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 of scientific and technical information may be affected by any known environmental, permitting, legal title, taxation, sociopolitical, marketing or other relevant factors, please see Hudbay’s annual information form dated March 29, 2018 and the following Technical Reports for each of the company’s material properties as filed by Hudbay on SEDAR at www.sedar.com: NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Constancia Mine dated March 29, 2018; NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Lalor Mine dated March 30, 2017; NI 43-101 Technical Report on the 777 Mine dated October 15, 2012; NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Rosemont Project dated March 30, 2017; and NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Reed Copper Deposit dated April 2, 2012 as filed by VMS Ventures Inc. Quality Assurance/Quality Control procedures for the Lalor exploration program include the systematic insertion of blanks, standards and duplicates into the core sample strings. The results of the control samples are evaluated on a regular basis with batches and are re-analysed and/or resubmitted as needed. There are no drilling, sampling, recovery or other factors that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the preliminary results.
This presentation has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which may differ materially from the requirements of United States securities laws applicable to U.S. issuers. Information concerning Hudbay’s mineral properties has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian securities laws, which differ in material respects from the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) set forth in Industry Guide 7. Under the SEC's Industry Guide 7, 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 of the reserve determination, and the SEC does not recognize the reporting of mineral deposits which do not meet the SEC Industry Guide 7 definition of “Reserve”. In accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the terms “mineral reserve”, “proven mineral reserve”, “probable mineral reserve”, “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are defined in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves adopted by the CIM Council on May 10, 2014. While the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are recognized and required by NI 43-101, the SEC does not recognize them. You are cautioned that, except for that portion of mineral resources classified as mineral reserves, mineral resources do not have demonstrated economic value. Inferred mineral resources have a high degree of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be economically or legally mined. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Therefore, you are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists, that it can be economically or legally mined, or that it will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Likewise, you are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated mineral resources will ever be upgraded into mineral reserves.
