On June 4 (Wednesday), Canadian copper miner Hudbay Minerals announced that it had issued an evacuation notice and halted operations in northern Manitoba due to the ongoing wildfires.

The company stated that it had ordered a temporary suspension of operations in Snow Lake after an evacuation notice was issued in the nearby town of Snow Lake on Tuesday.

Hudbay expressed confidence that its infrastructure and equipment were well-protected from the wildfires, with a low risk of damage. Given its current performance in Snow Lake, the company remains on track to achieve its annual guidance targets in Manitoba this year.

Currently, only a small number of authorized essential personnel remain there to assist with emergency activities.
