Mason Project: Continuing Progress in Lyon County

Submitted article

The demand for copper is on a steady rise in a world that is increasingly dependent on
electrification. Lyon County is not exempt from this trend, and Hudbay’s Mason Project is set to
play a pivotal role in meeting this demand. The company’s commitment to responsible
development underscores the significance of this project.

Copper is essential for modern life, powering everything from energy infrastructure and electric
vehicles to consumer electronics and telecommunications. It also plays a key role in national
security. Copper is a component in many defense applications, including military vehicles and
communication systems. A reliable supply of copper is essential for the United States’ energy
security. The Mason Project has the potential to supply a substantial amount of the nation’s
needs, bolstering domestic supply and strengthening national security.

Beyond its national importance, the Mason Project represents a significant opportunity for Lyon
County. Hudbay recognizes this and remains dedicated to responsible mining practices and
environmental stewardship. The company has implemented stringent environmental protocols
across all its projects, aiming to minimize its footprint while maximizing resource recovery.

Hudbay understands the importance of community engagement and is committed to transparent
communication with local stakeholders, regulatory bodies, and residents. The company actively
listens to community concerns about the project and incorporates feedback into its ongoing
planning process. Hudbay is continuing to explore next steps in moving the project forward,
including investigating what the permitting phase may look like. Throughout this process, the
company aims to maintain ongoing dialogues with the local community to help ensure the
project’s success while addressing any concerns and mitigating potential impacts.

The potential benefits of the Mason Project for Lyon County are substantial. The project
promises job creation and a boost to the local economy. Increased mining activity will generate
much-needed tax revenue, which can support essential community services and infrastructure,
paving the way for a brighter future for Lyon County.

Looking to the future, Hudbay is focused on leveraging innovation to enhance efficiency and
minimize the environmental impact of the Mason Project. The company is committed to
responsible growth and believes the Mason Project can serve as a model for modern mining
practices.

The Mason Project is not just about copper; it’s about building a sustainable future for Lyon
County, contributing to the nation’s growing need for critical resources, and strengthening
national security. Hudbay is deeply committed to the community and looks forward to continuing
this vital work. For the latest information on the project, visit https://www.masonprojectnv.com/.
