On August 27, Hudbay Minerals announced it has resumed operations at Snow Lake following the lifting of the mandatory evacuation order by the Manitoba Wildfire Service and the Town of Snow Lake. No structural damage occurred to surface facilities, and post-evacuation inspections of the shaft and underground electrical systems have been completed. Milling at New Britannia restarted on August 26, with the full Lalor workforce returning on August 27.

Hudbay had initially suspended mining and exploration on June 4 due to wildfires in northern Manitoba. Operations briefly resumed after the evacuation order was lifted on June 14 but were halted again in early July when the order was reimposed. With the evacuation order lifted again on August 22, operations have restarted. Full production at Snow Lake is expected by early September, and Hudbay continues to maintain its 2025 Manitoba production guidance.
