"Matthew has been a valued member of the Hudbay team for over three years, whose contributions have not only been recognized internally, but also by his peers in the mining community," said Peter Kukielski, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Matthew has been instrumental in the implementation of the innovative flotation circuit at New Britannia and led the design of our processing facilities at our Copper World project. We would like to extend our congratulations to Matthew for receiving this very prestigious award."
