I, Cashel Meagher, B. Sc., P. Geo, of Toronto, Canada, do hereby certify that:

1.

I am currently employed as Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, with Hudbay Minerals Inc., 25 York St, Suite 800, Toronto Ontario.

   
2.

I graduated from Saint Francis Xavier University with a Joint Advanced major in Geology and Chemistry in 1994.

4.

I have practiced my profession continuously over 20 years and have been involved in mineral exploration, project evaluation, resource and reserve evaluation, and mine operations in underground and open pit mines for base metal and precious metal deposits in North and South America.

   
5.

I have read the definition of “qualified person” set out in National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) and certify that by reason of my education and affiliation with a professional association and past relevant work experience, I fulfil the requirements to be a “qualified person” for the purpose of NI 43-101.

   
6.

I have reviewed and approved the Summary of the Technical Report and I am responsible for the preparation of this Technical Report titled “NI 43-101 Technical Report, Rosemont Project, Pima County, Arizona, USA” (the “Technical Report”), dated and effective as of March 30, 2017.

   
7.

I last visited the property on April 21, 2016. I also visited it several times prior to that date.

As of the date of this certificate, to the best of my knowledge, information and belief, the Technical Report contains all scientific and technical information that is required to be disclosed to make the Technical Report not misleading.

   
9.

I am not independent of the Issuer. Since I am an employee of the Issuer, a producing issuer, I fall under subsection 5.3(3) of NI 43-101 where “a technical report required to be filed by a producing issuer is not required to be prepared by or under supervision of an independent qualified person”.
