successful in its bid to acquire Norsemont
Mining Inc. ("Norsemont")
(TSX:NOM)(BVLAC:NOM) under its offer dated January 24, 2011 (the

satisfied and the 104,635,351 common shares of Norsemont
("Norsemont Shares") that were
validly deposited at the original expiry time of the Offer have been
taken up and will be paid for in accordance with the Offer. As a result
of taking up shares under the Offer, HudBay

basis).
HudBay also announced today that it is
extending the Offer until 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on March 15, 2011 to
enable Norsemont shareholders who have not
yet tendered their Norsemont Shares to accept
the Offer. A notice of extension will be mailed to Norsemont

HudBay intends to acquire all of the
remaining Norsemont Shares by compulsory
acquisition under Section 300 of the Business Corporations Act (British
Columbia). Norsemont shareholders are
encouraged to tender their shares prior to the expiry of the Offer on
March 15, 2011 in order to avoid any delay in receiving the
consideration payable for their shares pursuant to a second stage
transaction and, in respect of the HudBay
common shares they may receive as consideration, to become holders of
record prior to the March 21, 2011 record date for HudBay's
semi-annual dividend of $0.10 per common share, which is payable on March
31, 2011.
Pursuant to the terms of the Offer, Norsemont
shareholders will receive in respect of each deposited Norsemont Share, at their election, either: (a)
0.2617 of a HudBay common share and $0.001 in
cash, or (b) cash in an amount that is greater than $0.001, not to
exceed $4.50, and, if less than $4.50 in cash is elected, the number of
HudBay common shares equal to the excess of
$4.50 over such elected cash amount, divided by $17.19, subject, in
each case, to pro-ration and rounding as set out in the Offer.
HudBay will issue approximately 19.8 million
common shares and pay approximately $117 million in cash for Norsemont Shares taken up to date pursuant to the
Offer.
