How much calories do you lose from weight lifting in an hour?

I'm curious, I'm always tired of doing treadmill then weight lifting, I want to build mass muscle. I want to know how much calories do you lose from weight lifting to your limit, is it higher than doing it on treadmill or any exercise machine?

1. Cardio exercises ( treadmill, machine etc.) burn up calories at a much faster rate than weight lifting. Weight lifting can build up body muscle, but wont help you burn up calories and lose weight
2. roughly 500cals but it depends on your weight and height to start with, but it doesn't change much.
