June 16 (Reuters) - Canada's Hudbay Minerals ( HBM )

said on Monday it has resumed operations at its Snow Lake mining

site in Manitoba following the lifting of evacuation orders in

the region.

Manitoba declared a state of emergency late last month and

urged thousands of people in northern and eastern parts of the

province to evacuate, as wildfires spread in Central and Western

Canada.

The company in early June had temporarily suspended

operations in Snow Lake that was close to the wildfires.

Hudbay added that it resumed mining activities at the Lalor

mine over the weekend, focusing on initially prioritizing the

gold zones.

Hudbay expects to ramp up gold milling at its New Britannia

facility this week, and base metal milling at the Stall

concentrator next week, as some workers remain displaced by

nearby evacuations.

Separately, SSR Mining Inc ( SSRGF ) said operations at its

Seabee gold mine in Saskatchewan resumed on Friday. The site had

been shut for about two weeks due to power outages caused by the

forest fires.
