Underground Mining Continues Per Normal
Compañia de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. (“Buenaventura” or
“the Company”) (NYSE: BVN; Lima Stock Exchange: BUE.LM), Peru’s
largest publicly-traded precious metals mining company, announces
the voluntary temporary suspension of El Brocal’s processing plant
facilities. Underground mining works at El Brocal continue
uninterrupted per normal, with accumulated mined ore stockpiled for
later processing, as has been previously provisioned and
authorized, to be processed once concentrator plant operations have
resumed.
A small group from the Huaraucaca Community residing adjacent to
the El Brocal processing facility entered the property without El
Brocal’s authorization. The Company has therefore voluntarily
suspended its two El Brocal processing plant operations to ensure
the safety of its employees and infrastructure.
Buenaventura maintains a respectful open dialog with all
communities surrounding its operations, and is therefore confident
that discussions with the Huaraucaca community will result in a
peaceful and mutually amenable resolution. The Company will
continue to maintain a proactively prudent approach at all of its
operations, prioritizing the safety of its workers and of its
facilities.
