Flin Flon Closure: Transparency and Respect

Hudbay and the town of Flin Flon in northern Manitoba have a shared history that goes back to Hudbay’s founding over 90 years ago.

In November 2018, Robert Assabgui, Hudbay’s Vice President of the Manitoba Business Unit, sent a memo to employees at the Flin Flon operation announcing that the Company would be closing its 777 mine, mill and, most likely, the Flin Flon zinc plant in 2022. There being no anchor mine to replace 777 and sustain operations, the closure will effectively cease mining operations in the town of Flin Flon for the first time since mining began in 1927.
