Aug 27 (Reuters) - Canadian mining company Hudbay

Minerals ( HBM ) on Wednesday said it has resumed operations in

Snow Lake, Manitoba, following the decision made by the

authorities to lift the mandatory evacuation order on August 22.

The company said that there has been no structural damage to

its onsite surface infrastructure and facilities in Snow Lake.

Hudbay had temporarily suspended Snow Lake operations in

early July due to a wildfire in Northern Manitoba.

Manitoba declared a state of emergency late in May and urged

thousands of people in northern and eastern parts of the

province to evacuate, as wildfires spread in central and western

Canada.

Canada's second-worst wildfire season on record has already

burned 7.8 million hectares and could continue for weeks,

federal government officials said last week.

The company added it has completed an infrastructure safety

review, including inspection of the shaft, and restarted the

underground electrical infrastructure, since lifting of the

evacuation order.

Snow Lake operations is expected to reach full production

levels by early September and Hudbay remains on track to achieve

its 2025 annual forecast in Manitoba despite the wildfire

impacts.
