Mineral resource
The combination of Hudbay and Copper Mountain is on-strategy with strong industrial logic that is expected to deliver compelling benefits, as highlighted below: - **_Scale –_** a larger-scale platform with three long-life operating mines with exploration and expansion upside, three large-scale development projects and one of the largest mineral resource bases among intermediate copper producers; - **_Diversification –_** a geographically balanced portfolio in tier-one mining jurisdictions with approximately 55% of net asset value (“NAV”) estimated to be from North American assets and 45% of NAV estimated to be from South American assets; - **_Copper-Focused –_** a copper-focused portfolio with expected 2023 copper production of more than 150,000 tonnes in the second quartile position on the copper cost curve, complemented by meaningful gold production; - **_Efficiencies –_** an estimated US$30 million per year of operating efficiencies and corporate synergies, including approximately US$20 million per year from operating cost reductions through the application of Hudbay’s operating efficiency practices to the Copper Mountain mine; - **_Deleveraging –_** well-positioned for accelerated deleveraging in the near-term from increased diversification of cash flows and enhanced exposure to rising copper prices; - **_Capital Allocation –_** an ability to maximize value from a larger organic growth pipeline by more efficiently allocating capital to projects that yield the highest risk-adjusted returns; the combined company’s greater cash flow generation and strong balance sheet will enhance the ability to advance brownfield expansion opportunities and prudently develop Hudbay’s Copper World project in Arizona, which is expected to deliver meaningful growth to the combined company; and - **_Valuation Re-rating Potential –_** the strategic and financial benefits from the Transaction is expected to position the combined company for a valuation re-rating.
