Hudbay Minerals (HBM-T) has garnered mixed reviews from experts within the mining and resources sector, with a notable focus on its long-term potential in the copper and gold markets. Several analysts acknowledge the company's aspirations for growth, particularly its plans to increase production by 24% over the coming years and its promising developments in Arizona, specifically the Copper World project. However, there are warnings about the cyclical nature of commodity prices and the risk of potential pullbacks, especially given recent price highs. While there's recognition of the company's sound operational management and solid cash flow, fluctuations in metal stocks and concerns about overvaluation prompt a cautious approach among some experts. Overall, while Hudbay is seen as a significant player with potential upside, market conditions and technical charts suggest careful monitoring is essential.

Hudbay Minerals is a producer of zinc and copper. The main focus is on zinc. It has had a run up recently , maybe due to over enthusiasm. Zinc is used for galvanizing and construction and cars.

Mid-cap mining company. Third largest copper and zinc producer. Opening another mine later this year. No material supply coming online until 2008, China tends to be a net inporter, at current rate will deplete all the inventories by around Sept 2006. The company is trading at 2 1/2 to 4 times earnings. Labor unions have contracts until 2011 so the company has a good foundation to grow. The zinc market is volitile so sell on runs. They are currently buying.

Two main products are zinc and copper. Both are in short supply. Very leveraged to zinc.
BUY
In the zone where new investors are starting to look at it. The leverage is huge to the commodities zinc and copper, so if you like those commodities, this is a very good company to own. If they drop, the stock will drop also.
BUY
Inclined to think it will be a great zinc play. Expect the shares will go higher.
