Compania Mina Buenaventura S.A.

Compania Mina Buenaventura S.A. is listed on NYSE (BVN). THE COMPANY History and Development Overview We are Perus largest publicly-traded precious metals company, and are engaged in the exploration, mining and processing of gold, silver and, to a lesser extent, other metals, in Peru. We currently operate the Julcani, Recuperada, Orcopampa and Uchucchacua mines and have controlling interests in three other mining companies which operate the Colquijirca, Antapite, Ishihuinca and Shila-Paula mines. Effective March 2001, we temporarily suspended operations and discontinued exploration efforts at the Recuperada mine. In April 2004, we elected to resume exploration efforts at the Esperanza vein of the Recuperada mine due to an increase in ore reserves as well as the rising price of metals and in February 2006 we initiated mining operations.
