7 - Trades, Transport & Equipment Operators

HudBay Minerals Inc. is an interesting company because they do everything right from the beginning to the end - from hauling ore from underground to processing it, to shipping it out in ingots as pure copper, gold and zinc.

The working environment varies from day to day. One day we might be working outside on a nice sunny day and the next day we could be working in tight quarters inside a dark room. I have been to the bottom of the deepest mine shaft and to the top of a 900-foot high smokestack.
