			<description><![CDATA[TORONTO, ONTARIO--(eMediaWorld - June 18, 2009) - 

EDITORS&#039; NOTE: Smelter photos and media backgrounder available on HudBay&#039;s website at www.hudbayminerals.com.

HudBay Minerals Inc. (&quot;HudBay&quot; the &quot;company&quot;) (TSX:HBM) expects to close its copper smelter in Flin Flon, Manitoba before July 1, 2010, and its copper refinery in White Pine, Michigan shortly thereafter.

The financial impact of the smelter closure on the company will be minimal, as the processing costs from the sale of concentrates are expected to be similar. Further, the smelter is part of an integrated complex, and reclamation costs, which have been fully accounted for on the company&#039;s balance sheet, only occur when the entire Flin Flon metallurgical complex ultimately shuts down. HudBay anticipates manpower reductions as a result of the closure to be approximately 225 in Flin Flon and 65 at the White Pine Copper Refinery.

			<description><![CDATA[VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(eMediaWorld - May 21, 2009) - Columbus Silver Corporation (TSX VENTURE:CSC) (&quot;Columbus Silver&quot; or the &quot;Company&quot;) is very pleased to announce the successful completion of recent initiatives to consolidate and increase its property position in the Mogollon silver-gold district, Catron County, New Mexico.

The Mogollon project was acquired in January 2009 under an agreement with highly regarded geologist John S. Livermore granting Columbus Silver the option to acquire 100% of his rights and interests in the Mogollon project, which he held pursuant to a number of underlying lease and option agreements dating from 1978. Columbus Silver has entered into three new mining leases directly with the underlying owners, replacing the previous agreements. The new leases simplify the commercial relationships with the underlying property owners at Mogollon and eliminate title uncertainties connected with a succession of assignments of the older agreements.

Based on all drill data (43 holes, 100-250m spacing) to date on Lone Mountain, including the recently reported drill program by Continent (February 17, 2008), the Company has modeled the near surface leachable copper zone and applied simple weighted averages of assays within modeled solids.

It is uncertain if additional exploration will result in discovery of a mineral resource on the property.

The property consists of two distinct blocks of claims within the Launay and Privat townships in Quebec totaling 7828 hectares which includes the newly acquired claims. The area has been explored for gold since the mid 1930s, however the limited number of outcrops has hindered surface exploration work. Several high grade gold prospects have been discovered in and around the property and typically consist of mineralized quartz-carbonate veins of varying widths and lengths and wide disseminated auriferous pyrite zones associated with silica, carbonate and hematite alterations.

The Board has approved an additional work program at its 100% owned Colquipucro silver project (6,679 hectares) located in west-central Peru.

Exploration by Tinka to date has identified an NI 43-101 inferred resource of 5.7 Mt at a grade of 111 g/t silver (20.3 Moz silver) at Zone 1, as reported in Tinka Press Release dated April 24, 2008. This work confirmed the volume of the host &quot;zebra&quot; sandstone at Zone 1 is limited by its geometry and fault bound nature and the mineral resources cannot be significantly increased by immediate work. Further silver mineralization needs to be found elsewhere on the property to enhance the overall prospectivity of Colquipucro and thus future work will focus on discovering silver mineralization away from Zone 1.

Approximately 14,000 tonnes of material was collected from numerous levels of the Cameron Lake Mine and crushed as part of a sampling program conducted in 1988 to produce representative samples for assay. Analysis by Lakefield Research at that time (now SGS Lakefield Research Limited) returned an average gold grade of 4.46 g/t (as this information pre-dates National Instrument 43-101, it cannot be determined at this time whether it would comply with National Instrument 43-101). This crushed material, and an additional amount of uncrushed development muck from mineralized zones within the deposit is currently stockpiled on surface and available for processing]]></description>
