Callinan Receives Balance of 2013 Net Profits Interest Royalty Payments
Interim quarterly payments were made throughout calendar year 2013, estimated by HudBay Minerals Inc. to represent 75% of 6?% of the net profits from the 777 Mine and 777 North Mine in Flin Flon, Manitoba, plus $0.25 per ton of ore milled. The remaining 25% is paid with interest annually in July, 130 business days after the financial year end of HudBay Minerals Inc. as per the agreement. The above payment represents the balance of the 25% withheld over the four financial quarters ended December 31, 2013, adjusted to reflect final calculation by HudBay Minerals Inc. of the net profits interest.
The payments are derived from Callinan's royalty interests on lands that include the 777 Mine and 777 North Mine at Flin Flon, Manitoba, Canada, which are the principal mining operations of HudBay Minerals Inc.
