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, is pleased
to announce that ore treatment operations at its El Brocal
processing plant has resumed. Ore treatment activities resumed
operations at midnight on June 7, 2024 to begin processing the
accumulated inventory at the mine site. El Brocal has accumulated
approximately 220,000 tonnes of copper ore to date, the processing
of which will gradually ramp to a rate of 15,000 tons per day,
enabling recovery of ore processing which was halted during the
suspension. The Company expects to achieve the budgeted production
in 3Q24 to achieve its full year 2024 production guidance.
Huaraucaca community leaders signed an agreement with El Brocal
representatives to end the prior blockade and related suspension of
ore treatment at the Company’s processing facilities. A formal
dialogue between Community leaders and Buenaventura, facilitated by
officials from Peru’s Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM) have
reviewed and addressed overall compliance with commitments between
both parties. Further, Buenaventura reaffirms its commitment and
compliance with all signed agreements with communities surrounding
its operations.
