ABOUT THE
ANNUAL REPORT

Our Integrated Annual Report 2022 takes into 
consideration the guidelines of the Superintendence 
of Securities Market (SMV in Spanish) set forth in the 
Regulations for the Preparation and Presentation of 
Annual Reports, approved by CONASEV Resolution 
No. 141-98-EF/94.10, as amended, and in the 
Manual for the Preparation of Annual Reports and 
Common Rules for the determination of the Content 
of Information Documents, approved by CONASEV 
General Management Resolution No. 211-98-EF/94.11, 
as amended.

This edition details the financial 
and non-financial aspects of 
the environmental, social, and 
governance spheres of our 
operations corresponding to 
the period from January 1 to 
December 31 of 2002, taking the 
standards of the Global Reporting 
Initiative (GRI) as reference and 
aligning with the Dow Jones 
Sustainability Indices (DJSI) 

The information we provide is organized according to our 
materiality defined in 2021. In said year, we were able to identify 
issues having a substantial influence on the operation. This 
allowed us to plan our management, identify risks based on the 
prioritization of ESG issues, make decisions with a strategic vision, 
report our main indicators, and report our management results.

MESSAGE FROM OUR 
BOARD OF DIRECTORS

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS AND 
READERS,

We are pleased to present, for 
the first time, our Integrated 
Annual Report, which includes 
Buenaventura’s Sustainability 
Report in a single document. 
In this way, we wish to 
comprehensively display our 
environmental, social and 
governance (ESG) management, 
which reflects the value we 
contribute as a company to all 
our stakeholders, to the regions 
where we operate, and to 
the country.

Since December of 2022, Peru 
is going through one of the 
most complex and difficult 
chapters of the 21st century. 

The constant confrontation 
between the political sectors, 
the crisis of representation that 
affects the population, and the 
high levels of mistrust and lack 
of dialogue among Peruvians 
have created a climate of 
uncertainty that is causing 
mass mobilizations in various 
areas of the country.

On December 7, 2022, after 
then President Pedro Castillo 
announced the decision to 
dissolve the Congress of the 
Republic and to establish an 
emergency government, the 
Parliament, in application 
of the constitutional order, 

MESSAGE FROM OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS

declared the presidential vacancy and appointed Dina 
Boluarte as the presidential successor.

the projections of the Central 
Reserve Bank of Peru (BCRP).

Since taking office, President Boluarte is facing an 
outbreak of violence that has focalized in eight regions 
of the country, such as Puno, Arequipa, Apurímac, 
Ayacucho, Cusco, Madre de Dios, and, lately, Lima. The 
agenda thereof is to promote a constituent assembly 
for the elaboration of a new Magna Carta, close the 
Congress and demand early elections for 2023.

Evidently, this situation is impacting the expectations 
of Peruvian families and the national economy which, 
for 2022, recorded a modest growth of 2.9% and, for 
2023 would experience a similar growth, according to 

The upheaval in the country 
is affecting all economic 
sectors. However, analysts 
indicate that it mainly affects 
the mass consumption, retail, 
transportation, hotel industry, 
agricultural industry, and small 
business sectors. 

BuenaventuraINTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT2022WE DO MORE THAN MININGAccording to the World Bank’s 
figures, in 2022:

United States grew by 
1.9%, while Europe grew 
by 3.3%. China, in turn, 
experienced a growth of 
2.7%, and Latin America 
and the Caribbean, of 
3.6%.

The mining sector is no 
exception. Although the 
Statistical Bulleting of the 
Ministry of Energy and Mines 
states that mining investments 
at the end of 2022 amounted 
to US$ 4615 million, which 
represents a 3.2% increase 
compared to the same period 
in 2021, the reality is that there 
is a downward trend in the 
spending by mining companies.

This decline in mining 
investments is mainly due to 
the social conflicts that, in 
many parts of 2022, paralyzed 
important operations such 
as Antamina, Las Bambas, 
Apumayo, Cuajone, and 
Nexa. Additionally, significant 
investments such as Newmont 
Corporation’s Yanacocha 
Sulfuros project, located in 
Cajamarca, were postponed.

In 2022, the international context was also complex 
and was marked by the conflict between Russia and 
Ukraine and the end of the pandemic in most of the 
world, but with a new outbreak of COVID-19 in China 
that impacted the growth of this Asian giant.

According to the World Bank’s figures, in 2022, the 
United States grew by 1.9%, while Europe grew by 
3.3%. China, in turn, experienced a growth of 2.7%, 
and Latin America and the Caribbean, of 3.6%. In 
most of the countries, growth was low and below the 
projections at the beginning of the year.

For 2023, the World Bank projects that global growth 
will slow down to 1.7%. This slowdown will be partly 
caused by the application of restrictive policies to curb 
inflation, the increase of interest rates, the reduction 
of investments and the effects of the armed conflict 
between Russia and Ukraine.

Also, the World Bank foresees the United States 
growth will fall by 0.5% in 2023, while no growth is 
expected for Europe this year. 

On the other hand, it is expected that China will grow 
by 4.3% in 2023, 0.9% below previous projections. 
Finally, it is expected that the growth of Latin 

MESSAGE FROM OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS

6

America and the Caribbean will 
decrease by 1.3% by the end of 
this year.

As can be seen, the growth of 
the global economy in 2023 will 
be among the lowest of the last 
30 years.

In Peru, the election of new 
regional and local authorities 
will impact public investment, 
which will grow marginally due 
to the natural learning curve of 
the new officers. Additionally, 
during most of the year, the 
election campaign prior to the 
general elections will draw the 
attention of the whole country.

We expect that, through 
dialogue and unity, Peru could 
return to the path of peace, 
growth and investments that 
will create more employment 
and well-being for all.

BuenaventuraINTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT2022WE DO MORE THAN MININGWith regard to the price of 
commodities, as of December 
31, 2022, the price of the ounce 
of gold was US$ 1824, while 
silver closed at US$ 23.95 per 
ounce, according to Bloomberg.

Meanwhile, the London Metal 
Exchange reported that the ton 
of copper closed the year at 
US$ 8387, and the ton of zinc, 
at US$ 3025. Lead closed the 
year at US$ 2335 per ton.

Buenaventura’s share price 
increased by 2% during 2022, 
closing at US$ 7.45.

In the year under review, our 
company had a net profit of 
US$ 602.9 million, compared to 
the loss of US$ 262.8 million in 
2021. This profit considers US$ 
478.5 million, mainly related to 
the transaction with Newmont. 
Excluding said benefit, the 
company’s net profit amounts 
to US$ 124.4 million. The net 
debt/EBITDA ratio for 2022 

decreased from 3.58x to 2.80x. The cash position at 
the end of 2022 decreased from US$ 377.0 million 
to US$ 253.9 million and the CAPEX was US$ 152.0 
million.

On the other hand, on February 7 of 2022, we signed 
definitive agreements with Newmont Corporation to 
sell the total shares owned by Buenaventura in Minera 
Yanacocha S.R.L through its subsidiary, Compañía 
Minera Condesa S.A. These shares represented 
43.65% of the capital stock of said company.

This decision allowed our company to focus on 
its asset portfolio, particularly on promoting the 
development of the projects in its portfolio (Yumpag, 
San Gabriel and Trapiche), and to reduce its financial 
debt levels, increasing the return in favor of its 
shareholders.

In terms of safety, on March 19 of 2022, an 
unfortunate collapse occurred in the open pit of the 
Colquijirca mine of our subsidiary El Brocal, in Pasco, 
which killed three of our coworkers from contractor 
companies. This terrible accident saddens all of us 
who are part of the Buenaventura family.

Because of this unfortunate event we temporarily 
suspended all the activities in this area of the El 
Brocal pit until we could guarantee conditions were

safe to resume operations and 
conduct the corresponding 
investigations. We also 
implemented all the corrective 
measures to prevent such an 
accident from happening again 
in our company. 

We express our deepest 
condolences to the families 
of our coworkers for this 
irreparable loss.

As to our Social Management, 
through the Shared Social 
Responsibility approach, we 
continued to join efforts among 
the State, the company and 

society to promote sustainable, decentralized and 
inclusive development of the regions and the country.

In 2022, we focused on four main aspects: Water 
and sanitation, irrigation, connectivity and road 
infrastructure. Thus, we have completed 24 projects 
that benefit more than 60 thousand people in 
Arequipa, Pasco, Cajamarca, Huancavelica, Apurímac, 
Moquegua, and Lima, valued at around US$ 10 
million. Of this amount, approximately US$ 5 million 
correspond to the works for taxes mechanism. 

On the other hand, in 2022, we procured products and 
services from local companies for more than US$ 225 
million in the regions where we operate.

Likewise, through our Productive Development 
Program and Business Articulation, PRA 

OUR COMPANY HAD A NET PROFIT OF 
US$ 602.9 MILLION, 
COMPARED TO THE LOSS OF US$ 262.8 
MILLION IN 2021

BuenaventuraINTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT2022WE DO MORE THAN MININGBuenaventura, we supported 1451 producers, who 
registered accrued sales over US$ 17 million since 
2014.

One of the completed projects that we are pleased to 
share is the Huaruro Canal, in Tapay (Arequipa). This 
irrigation work will transport more than 140 liters 
of water per second to boost production activities in 
over 380 hectares of farmland in the area. Huaruro 
is a clear example that mining and agriculture can 
coexist for the sustainable development and well-
being of Peruvians.

Our Environmental Management focused on the 
application of adequate operational and preventive 
controls so as to minimize the impacts on the 
environment and contribute to the sustainability 
of our units, as well as the management of the 
responsible use of water, preserving its quality and 
ensuring its reuse and recirculation in all processes.

Thus, in 2022, we arranged 42 environmental 
instruments, of which 8 were approved, 11 are still 
under evaluation and 17 are being prepared. Our 
Environmental Performance Index (EPI) reached a 
level of 95.5%, which allows us to show the degree of 
compliance with our commitments and action plans 
for responsible environmental management.

MESSAGE FROM OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Through our PRA
Buenaventura

We supported 1451 
producers, who 
registered accrued 
sales over US$ 17 
million since 2014.

Also, we acknowledge the importance of water as a 
strategic resource for sustainable development, and 
we efficiently manage it in all our processes. In 2022, 
the water recirculation rate in operations was 90% in 
open pits and 87% in underground mines.

In terms of our Human Resources Management, 
we closed 2022 with a total workforce of 11,190 
employees. This number includes the employees 
of contractor companies providing services to 
our operations. Additionally, 63.31% of our total 
employees come from the regions and communities of 
our areas of influence, which makes us very proud.

It is worth pointing out that, in the year under review, 
the Merco Ranking recognized Buenaventura among 
the top three mining companies for attracting and 
retaining talent in Peru. We are very pleased by this 
result, which reflects the commitment, effort, and 
sense of belonging of all of us who are part of this 
company.

As for our work environment management, after the 
pandemic, we once again included our contractor 
companies in the 2022 Employee Engagement and 
Organizational Climate Survey (ECO, in Spanish), 
achieving a response rate of 80%, having surveyed 
more than five thousand employees. The results, 
included in this report, have led us to design action 

plans intended to address 
opportunities for improvement 
in all of our units and offices.

The operational performance 
of our production units was 
within projection, except for El 
Brocal, where we had to modify 
the original mining plan due to 
the unfortunate collapse that 
happened in part of the open 
pit.

Tambomayo, in Caylloma 
(Arequipa) produced 54,320 
ounces of gold and 1,863,411 
ounces of silver in 2022, 
compared to 69,554 ounces of 
gold and 1,815,288 ounces of 
silver in the previous year.

The Orcopampa Unit, in the 
Castilla province (Arequipa), 
produced 74,478 ounces of 
gold, compared to 50,020 
ounces in 2021. 

La Zanja and Coimolache, 
open-pit mines operating in 

BuenaventuraINTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT2022WE DO MORE THAN MININGCajamarca, produced 29,616 and 82,408 ounces of gold 
in 2022, respectively, compared to 22,611 ounces of gold 
produced by La Zanja and 110,575 ounces of gold produced 
by Coimolache in 2021. 

The Julcani Unit, our alma mater in Huancavelica, 
where this year we celebrate our 70th anniversary, 
produced 2,640,689 ounces of silver, compared to the 
2,572,036 ounces produced the year before. 

The mining plan for La Zanja was updated to reflect the 
increase of the operating expenses associated to the 
inflation of the raw materials cost during the third quarter 
of 2022. Consequently, mining operations were only 
extended until October of 2022, when the fourth phase 
was completed. Operations will be limited to leaching pads 

Sociedad Minera El Brocal (61.43% BVN), subsidiary 
company of Buenaventura operating the Colquijirca 
Unit, in Cerro de Pasco, produced 47,352 metric tons 
of copper and 23,359 metric tons of zinc, in 2022. In 
2021, it produced 37,914 metric tons of copper and 
35,975 metric tons of zinc.

until the first quarter of 
2023, while we continue 
with explorations related 
to the underground 
copper and gold sulfides 
project.

In Uchucchacua, Oyón, 
northern highlands of 
Lima, we continued with 
the mine preparation 
and development work 
as planned. Also, we are 
constantly reviewing the 
design of the mine so as 

to be more efficient and to reduce costs. Our plan is to 
resume operations by the end of this year. 

MESSAGE FROM OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS

At El Brocal, lead production levels were 6,791 tons, 
compared to 10,096 tons in 2021. Also, it produced 
3,556,829 ounces of silver, compared to 6,158,981 
ounces in the previous year. The production of lead, 
silver and zinc was lower compared to 2021, as part 
of the expected transition from polymetallic ore to 
copper ore, as well as due to the need to modify the 
mining plan as a result of the unfortunate collapse in 
part of the open pit, in March of 2022.

Sociedad Minera Cerro Verde (19.58% BVN), an 
affiliated company operating in Arequipa, produced 
441,554 metric tons of copper, compared to 402,370 
metric tons the previous year. 

The effort dedicated to exploration workings is 
part of Buenaventura’s culture that ensures the 

9

continuity of our business. In 
our Orcopampa, Uchucchacua, 
Tambomayo, Julcani and El 
Brocal underground units, 
we advanced 17,289 meters 
in exploration tunnels and 
224,797 meters in diamond 
drilling, which includes 17,989 
meters in the open pit at El 
Brocal.

As for our projects, in 2022, we 
finished our prior consultation 
process at San Gabriel, which 
will extract gold in Moquegua. 
Also, the benefit concession, 
the mining plan, and the 
third supporting technical 
report were approved. On the 
other hand, we finished the 
construction of the advance 
camp and started earthmoving 
works.

By the end of the year, we 
achieved a development of 
60% in engineering and 76% 
in procurement and contract 
management, after having 

BuenaventuraINTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT2022WE DO MORE THAN MININGawarded the earthmoving and 
camp contracts, among others, 
and started the bids for the 
mine development and power 
transmission line works.

In 2023, we will complete the 
engineering and construction 
of the main accesses and waste 
dumps in San Gabriel. We will 
also begin camp construction 
and mine development as 
planned.

In the Yumpag project, in 
Pasco, close to Uchucchacua, 
the explorations efforts turned 
out to be quite positive. We 
already have a significant 
volume of high-grade resources 
(approximately 200 million 
ounces of silver, potentially), 
which leads us to believe that 
this will be a long-life project. 

In Trapiche, copper project 
located in Apurímac, we

managed to successfully develop the second 
workshop of the Environmental Impact (EIA) in 
Mollebamba –despite the complex social situation– 
and started the dossier for the citizen participation 
plan for the third workshop and public hearing of 
the EIA. In 2023, we will continue with the drillings 
to complete the component engineering, and we 
will keep on strengthening our relationship with the 
communities.

In Río Seco, Huaral, the EIA was approved and the 
closure plan was completed as part of the feasibility 
study of the hydrometallurgical project for the 
leaching of copper concentrates.

In the Coimolache Sulfuros project, in Cajamarca, 
we resumed the explorations campaign. The audited 
resources will be presented by the end of this year. In 
2023, we will finish the aforementioned explorations 
campaign and will define the mining designs. The pre-
feasibility stage will begin by 2024, associated with 
our social strategies and the purchase of lands for the 
development of basic engineering.

Finally, on behalf of the Board of Directors, we would 
like to thank the shareholders, our suppliers and all 
the stakeholders of the company, as well as to give a 
very special recognition to all the employees of our 
production units, projects and offices in eight regions

INITIATIVES AND ENDORSEMENTS

THE EXTRACTIVE INDUSTRY TRANSPARENCY INITIATIVE (EITI)
is an international alliance formed by 52 countries that gathers 
governments, extractive companies (mining, oil and gas) and civil 
society to render the payments made by companies to governments 
transparent in order to ensure a proper accountability and that 
the resources obtained through extractive activities promote the 
development of the member countries.

Buenaventura has been part of this initiative since 2011, through 
which it seeks to promote public awareness regarding the 
government management of mining resources, having an impact on 
satisfactory progress in favor of the development of the country.

UNITED NATIONS GLOBAL COMPACT
Buenaventura adheres to the Global Compact since 2014, being the 
first mining company to do so. This encourages our firm commitment 
to respect human rights, to work on the basis of labor standards, to 
have policies and procedures for environmental care in place, and to 
promote the fight against corruption from all sectors.

COMPLIANCE

At Buenaventura, we have been adopting continuous improvements 
in our corporate policies and procedures, including the Handbook for 
the Prevention and Management of Money Laundering and Terrorist 
Financing (“ML/TF”) Risks, the Code of Conduct of Business Partners, 
the Gift Policy and the Donations and Charitable Contributions Policy, 
as well as the Personal Data Protection Policy.  

During 2022, we identified, updated and assessed improvements to 
our Corporate Compliance Program in order to keep Buenaventura 
at the forefront of effective corporate compliance standards and 
pursuant to good compliance practices worldwide. The United 
States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and other compliance 
and regulation standards applicable to our operations in Peru were 
included. 

OUR GOAL FOR 2023 IS TO 
CONTINUE TO IMPLEMENT 
OUR EFFECTIVE CORPORATE 
COMPLIANCE PROGRAM

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

21

Our goal for 2023 is to continue to implement our 
effective Corporate Compliance Program, for which we 
will promote a sound compliance culture throughout 
the company; review and update the identification of 
risks in terms of compliance; and improve the controls 
and measures reasonably designed for the prevention, 
action, and response to any event.

LEGAL PROCEDURES  

As a result of the review processes of the annual 
tax returns for fiscal years 2007 and 2008, the Tax 
Authority does not recognize the commercial contracts 
for physical deliveries and the contractual payments 
made by the company in those years; the Tax Authority 
considers that those payments correspond to an early 
financial settlement of Derivative Financial Instruments 
Contracts, and that the company did not confirm the 
hedging purpose and the covered risks. Likewise, it 
does not recognize the offset of tax losses during fiscal 
years 2009, 2010, 2013, 2014, and 2017, originating in 
fiscal years 2007 and 2008. 

Pursuant to the legal 
framework, on July 30 of 2021, 
the company paid said tax 
debt related to the processes 
of years 2007 to 2010. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, 
the company will continue to 
exercise its legitimate right of 
defense in the corresponding 
administrative and judicial 
courts, where it expects to 
obtain a favorable result in 
line with the opinion of the 
lawyers responsible for the tax 
proceedings.

which 898 meters were for 
development; 6937 meters, for 
preparation; and 1473 meters, 
for total exploration (1234m 
Capex and 239m Opex). 

The geology department 
executed 24,262 meters of 
diamond drilling, aimed at 
completing the recognition of 
structures within the operation, 
and at recategorizing and 
extending the resources (infill 
drilling). Four targets were 
explored, mainly in the area 
of Diques, Priscila, Venturosa, 
Profundización, the purposes 
of which are to start new

INVESTMENTS:

PERMITS:

In Plant, the stabilization process was completed with 
an investment of US$ 0.15 million, which includes 
acquiring assets, reaching a continuous treatment 
target of 1800 TMD. 

The compaction of 253,000 m3 of filtered tailings 
was completed, complying with the quality control 
parameters.

Completion of the Huaruro irrigation canal project, 
which is socially committed to the expansion and 
improvement of the Belén, Paclla, Cosñirhua, Malata, 
San Juan de Chuccho, and Tapay fields, located in the 
district of Tapay, over a 246-ha area. During this year, 
US$ 9.26 million were invested, building a conduction 
line of 10,550 linear meters and three drop-off points 
in the areas of Belén, Malata, and Tapay. With this, 
we completed the project, which has a total length of 
15,000 meters.

In 2022, the 3rd Modification to the Semi-
Detailed Environmental Impact Assessment 
(MEIAsd), referred to the authorization 
to lower the exploration ramp down to 
level 4040. It also includes DDH superficial 
platforms for the Diques and Soledad areas. 

By 2023, the IGO for the Start of Activities 
of the 3rd MEIAsd must also be approved. 
Entry of the MEIAd to SENACE, approval 
of the modification to the schedule of 
the Operations Closure Plan. Entry of

SAFETY:

ENVIRONMENT:

SOCIAL AFFAIRS:

EXPLORATIONS:

In terms of safety management in 2022, 
there were no high-potential events. 
However, a relevant event was considered, 
which was related to the critical risk of “dry 
cargo transportation”, due to the overturn 
of an encapsulated dump-truck transporting 
concentrates, for which action plans focused 
on engineering controls were executed to 
prevent this from happening again.

In view of the COVID-19 health emergency, 
during 2022, we continued with the 
monitoring plan and the prevention 
protocols, including the entrance screening 
with antigen test until April, and we 
increased the personnel transportation 
capacity to 100%. Also, we resumed the 14x7 
working system and 100% of our personnel 
is vaccinated with the third dose. 

The cost of COVID protocols in 2022 was 
US$ 1.4 million of a US$ 1.1 million budget.

OPERATIONS

Four high-potential environmental events 
were reported. Two of them were related 
to the discharge of contact water into the 
receiving water body, one was related 
to the presence of informal mining, 
and one was due to the overturn of an 
encapsulated dump-truck transporting 
concentrates, which produced a partial spill 
of zinc concentrate. For these 04 events, 
a multidisciplinary investigation was 
conducted, and an action plan was prepared 
and 100% complied with.

At the Chaska Project, authorizations were obtained 
from land owners (09) to carry out geophysics, 
exploration, and prospection workings in Tocallo, 
in charge of the Explorations area. Also, the signing 
of the extrajudicial transaction with the Velásquez 
Arotaype family for part of the Tambomayo property 
for the Los Diques project was achieved. 

As for the fulfillment of commitments, we completed 
the construction of one of the most significant 
projects for Buenaventura, which is the Huaruro 
Irrigation Canal that will supply 140 l/s for the 
expansion and improvement of the Belén, Paclla, 
Cosñirhua, Malata, San Juan de Chuccho, and Tapay 
fields. 

100% OF OUR 
PERSONNEL IS 
VACCINATED WITH 
THE THIRD DOSE

In 2022 we carried out two 
mapping and prospecting 
campaigns in the Soledad 
(320 ha) and Chaska (2500 
ha) projects, over a total of 
2820 ha. At Soledad, the main 
target was better defined, and, 
at Chaska, the length of the 
Chaska vain was increased by 
1.5 km, for a total recognized 
length of 5.5 km. Also, the 
study of the Tambomayo 4th 
MEIAsd was started. 

The Gaby and Mayra projects 
are on hold due to the lack of 
social authorization. Therefore, 
it has been deemed necessary 
to expand the Suspension of 
Activities Commencement of 
both projects until December 
of 2023.

PERMITS:

The third update of the Mine Closure Plan was 
submitted to MINEM. The purpose thereof was to 
dispose of 0.5 million m3 of waste material on the 
R4 tailings deposit. The corresponding approvals are 
expected by 2023.

The R4A tailings deposit is located in the Tintaymarca 
community. This tailings deposit has a storage capacity 
of 275,514 m3 of tailings at 3809 m.a.s.l., for a period 
of 13 months. For 2023, it is projected to raise the dam 
to 3811 m.a.s.l., thereby storing 254,552 m3 of tailings, 
additionally, for a period of 18 more months. 

As a long-term project, in 2022, the Feasibility 
Engineering for a new reconfiguration of the R5 Tailings 
Deposit (1.2 million m3 capacity) was prepared. In 2023, 
it will be submitted to SENACE for approval as part of 
the second MEIA.

INVESTMENTS:

In the mine, infrastructure has been 
developed in the Pucará and Ocoruro 
areas to centralize the operations (62% 
and 22%, respectively, of the production 
programmed for 2023). The areas of 
Nazareno and Prometida are left for 
recovery, with a planned production of 
16% in 2023. 
The Nazareno shaft was restored and 
started from level 3780 to level 3440, 
together with the De Cauville line at level 
3540, so as to centralize the extraction 
of discarded rock and ore in the areas 
of Pucará, Nazareno, and Prometida, 
optimizing the use of dump-trucks down 
the mine. 

Three Rbs were built to optimize the 
integrated ventilation system, reducing 
the use of secondary fans. 
Two ponds (capacity of 10,000 m3 each) 
were built to treat sludges down the 
mine through filtering. 
A new pumping pipe system was 
installed to optimize the pumping 
capacity from 60% to 90% of the 
nameplate capacity. 

exploration workings and 35,794 
meters of diamond drilling, 
divided into exploration drills 
holes (17,598 m) on the Ocoruro, 
Pucara Sur, Pucara Norte, R4 
system, Rosario, and Ariana 
veins; and recategorization/
conformation drill holes (18,196 
m) on the veins of the Nazareno, 
Prometida, Ocoruro, and R4 
systems, executed between 
levels 3690 and 3440. In 2023, 
exploration will be prioritized in 
the Ariana Suroeste, Nazareno, 
and Prometida Noreste sectors.

The R2 and R4 deposits are 
being used to store waste 
material from the mine, as 
part of the progressive closure. 
The transportation distance 
from Chipmo to the R2 and R4 
deposits is 7.5 km. The current 
waste dump capacity in the R2 
and R4 dumps is 150,000 m3, for 
a period of around 13 months.

EXPLORATIONS:

During the safety management of 2022, there 
were 05 high-potential events, of which 03 were 
related to the critical risk of ventilation, 01 related 
to the critical risk of electric power, and the last 
one related to the stability of the rock mass. 
Consequently, action plans focused on engineering 
controls were executed so as to prevent them from 
happening again. 

In 2022, in view of the COVID-19 health emergency, 
we continued with the monitoring plan and the 
prevention protocols, including the entrance 
screening with antigen test until April, and we 
increased the personnel transportation capacity to 
100%. Also, we resumed the 14x7 working system, 
the open-track camp was opened, and 100% of the 
personnel was vaccinated with the third dose.  The 
cost of COVID protocols in 2022 was US$ 1.2 million 
of a US$ 1.20 million budget.

OPERATIONS

Seven high-potential 
environmental events took 
place, mainly related to 
sediment entrainment due to 
heavy rainfall, failures in the 
operational controls down 
the mine, and deficiencies 
in the water conduction 
infrastructure. Corrective 
measures have been taken to 
prevent and minimize potential 
impacts on the environment and 
thus generate a better culture 
of environmental responsibility 
based on prevention and care 
for our environment

Agreements with the peasant 
communities of Orcopampa and 
Sarpane were formalized into Public 
Deeds:

Easement of 23.70 ha for the use 
of land located by the Corococha 
Lagoon (lagoon that collects water 
for the Huancarama power station).
Easement of 5.32 ha for the use of 
various components in the peasant 
community of Sarpane for 25 years 
(both). 
Easement for the use of Brecha 5 
exploration project, located in the 
Allhuire Annex of the Orcopampa 
community, for the duration of the 
project.
Out-of-court settlement for the 
environmental accident of 2016, 
signed with the Orcopampa Sector of 
the Orcopampa community.  

In 2022, the Brecha 5 project (200x30m vein-
breccia with significant results as to Au and Ag 
[0.4m@18.7 Au g/t @ 11 Ag oz/t]) was reviewed. 
The proposal is to drill 1800 m (04 DDH) in 
order to intercept mineralization of Au (>5g/t) 
Ag (>10 oz/t) and to validate the potential of the 
Mulañan Sur sector. 

Melissa project, located in the southernmost 
area of level 3540 of the Chimpo underground 
workings, 5655 m of drilling (12 DDH) were 
relogged, giving a new interpretation to the 
mineralization controls and proposing a 5000 
m (10 DDH) drilling campaign to assess the 
continuity of the recognized bodies. 

The Esperanza, Elisabeth, and Perseverancia 
projects were reviewed, proposing to carry 
out structure reconnaissance and geophysics 
(IP) works to support a first phase of diamond 
drilling.

The operation achieved a total treatment 
volume of 5’096,286 DMT, representing 
an average daily treatment of 14.478 DMT. 
The accumulated production of fines during 
2022 was 3’556,829 ounces of silver, 23,359

In 2022, there were two 15-day partial 
shutdowns in some sectors of the operation 
because the roads to access the unit were 
blocked by neighboring communities due to 
commercial claims related to their respective 
communal businesses.

As for the operations at Tajo Norte, the 
2022 open-pit mining plan suffered various 
modifications along the year. The main one 
was on March 19, when there was a collapse 
in the southeast wall (Phases 12 and 13) 
that caused the death of three contractor-
company employees. The investigation by the 
supervising body (OSINERGMIN) started after 
the event and it was determined, through 
Safety Measure Resolution (OSINERGMIN 
N° 1-2022-OS-GSM/DSGM), to suspend the 
activities in the area comprising the areas 
affected by the collapse. In order to reverse 
this measure, SMEB had to work on a 
geotechnical study and a plan to stabilize the 
affected areas. In November, after evaluating 
the geotechnical study and the work plan, 
OSINERGMIN ended the suspension.

Tajo Norte is currently undergoing a 
transition to a “mixed” ore that contains both 

polymetallic ore and copper ore, intertwined, which 
makes it very complex to recover them in the shape of 
commercial concentrates.

Since 2010, the exploitation of the Marcapunta Norte 
underground deposit (arsenical copper mantles) is carried 
out with the sub level stoping method, leaving pillars in 
place to ensure the stability of the roof of the mined pits. 
This method allows mass mechanized production at low 
costs. 

It is worth pointing out that we maintained 6 diamond 
drilling rigs in the central, south west 2 and south 
east sectors with favorable results; these have drilled 
27,338.75 meters for infill and ore control, 8,718.75 for 
exploration and geometallurgy, and 884.7 m for services.

There was a mining contribution in pillars of 414,616 
MT with an average Cu grade of 2.15%. This is a partial 
recovery, since it is necessary to fill the extracted areas in 
order to complete the removal of the pillars. 

As part of the ventilation infrastructure, 05 RB stacks 
(512 meters) of a total of 07 (949 meters), located in 
the southeast area (05 fresh air intakes and 02 stale 
air outlet), were executed. Likewise, the duct towards

RB15 project (installation of a 300,000 CFM fan). After 
completing the works in 2023, an air coverage of 125% 
will be achieved, and the southwest area will achieve 
a coverage of 126%; finally, the operation will have a 
coverage of 125%.

During 2022, 15% of the production pits forwent 
intermediate galleries due to improvements in the 
mining design. This allowed for a reduction in the cost 
of preparation and an increase in the preparation ratio, 
from 180 t/m to 210 t/m. For 2023, it is planned to 
increase up to 60% the production pits under the pass-
through-pit and blind-pit modalities, which will increase 
the preparation ratio to 326 t/m.

It is worth mentioning that, in the third quarter of 2022, 
the first section of the Twin Tunnel was connected 
to the RP475W, thus separating the transit paths for 
the entry and exit of dump trucks in the southern 
area. This allowed to increase extraction in the fourth 
quarter. An average extraction of 4490 MT/day was 
achieved through the southern ramp, while the average 
extraction through the northern ramp is 4500 MT/day. 
This minimized ore transportation from the Marcapunta 
Norte yard to the Huaraucaca plant.

Capacity of the pumping system was 
increased from 95 l/s to 220 l/s, laying a 14’’ 
surface pipeline for a total length of 2.2 km 
and replacing 150 Hp pumps with 300 Hp 
pumps. Secondary pumping circuits were 
removed and replaced with main circuits, 
reducing the number of pumps and sumps, 
generating cost savings and increasing the 
water evacuation flow.

In the concentration plant, activities were 
carried out to improve the reliability and 
availability of equipment, one of the most 
important being the repair and replacement 
of the washing drum.

Finally, due to the increase in prices of 
the main supplies, such as oil, reagents, 
crushing steel and explosives, which 
generated an increase of approximately 
10%, a renegotiation was held with the main 
contractors, where unit prices increased by: 
JRC +10%, San Martin +7%, Smelter +23%, and 
Huaraucaca +15%.

PERMITS:

The Integrated Plan for Adaptation to 
the Maximum Permissible Limits (MPLs)

Regarding the Modification of the 
Environmental Impact Assessment for the 
Plant Expansion to 25,000 TMD (MEIA

During 2022, 53,165.10 m of diamond drilling 
were executed, both on the surface and down 
the mine. 50% of this amount (26,574 m) was 
in Marcapunta Norte, Marcapunta SW and 
Marcapunta SE (underground) for the purpose 
of recategorizing and confirming measured, 
indicated and inferred resources to Cu-Ag-Au, 
with positive results thanks to the increase

The Trapiche Project is an 
oligocene porphyry copper-
molybdenum deposit located 
on the southwest bank of 
the Andahuaylas-Yauri belt, 
Antabamba province, Apurímac 
region.

Despite the social situation in our region, we were able 
to successfully carry out the II workshop in Mollebamba 
and we started the integrated Citizen Participation 
Plan (CPP) pursuant to the current standards for the III 
workshop and public hearing of the EIAd.
 Regarding access roads, the project was approved for 
registration in the investment office.

Reserves: 283.2 MT with 0.51% Cu, representing 1.4 
MT leachable Cu.
Excluding resources: 653.8 MT with 0.32% Cu, 
representing 2.1 MT (float) Cu.

COIMOLACHE SULPHIDES
The Coimolache Sulphides Project consists 
of a flotation plant for the treatment 
of copper sulphides lying under the 
Coimolache gold mineral that is currently 
being exploited.

In 2023, we will continue with the drilling program to 
complete the engineering of the project components 
and continue to strengthen our relationship with 
the surrounding communities through the signing 
of the development agreement with two pending 
communities. We will include the review of easement 
and access road opportunities and will submit the EIA 
by the second quarter of the year, followed by the 
public hearing the following quarter.

During 2022, the unfinished 2021 
exploration campaign with diamond 
drillings was resumed, executing 6793 m 
and 14,895 m, respectively. This campaign 
will be completed by February of 2023 and 
the audited resources will be presented by 
the end of the current year. Therefore, the 
inventory of those resources audited by 
SRK_2019 is maintained:

Inferred Resources: 933 mt with 0.32% Cu, 
0.18 g/t Au, 7.89 g/t Ag, representing 3 MT 
Cu and 5.4 M oz Au.

In 2023, we are to complete the infill drilling 
campaign within the economic PIT Phase 
1 (lowering of the THY2 pit), a high-grade 
copper, gold, silver area. Its economic 
assessment will allow us to define the 
mining designs in the Pit, underground, 
and start the pre-feasibility stage for 
2024, related to social strategies and land 
acquisition that will allow us to develop the 
basic engineering.

The first variability campaign 
(36 columns) was completed, 
the extraction of copper from 
the enriched ores responds 
positively to the ferric-
bacterial leaching process, and 
optimization tests (34 columns) 
are in progress before starting 
the second variability campaign. 
Finally, 6219 m were drilled, out 
of the 14,000 m programmed.

Procesadora Industrial Río Seco (100% BVN)

Peruvian company dedicated to the production of 
Manganese Sulfate from the lead-silver-manganese 
concentrates found in our Uchucchacua mining unit. This 
product is used as a micronutrient for plants, in addition 
to being a raw material for the manufacture of steels, 
batteries and pigments, favoring the domestic market and 
agriculture.

During 2022, the industrial processor did not operate 
due to the shutdown of the Uchucchacua mining unit. In 
such a scenario, 51 mutual agreements, 11 resignations, 
and 11 executive transfers were executed. The number of 
employees at Río Seco went down from 84 to 11 during 
this process.

However, a Metallurgical Laboratory has been 
implemented to meet the needs for research and 
metallurgical tests of the Buenaventura units. The 
activities of this laboratory started in December of 2022 
with an investment US$ 24,000. Thus, there is a new 
process for the obtention of battery-grade manganese 
sulfate, a product with high purity standards. For this 
purpose, they have built and implemented a pilot 
plant with a capacity of 100 kg/day, which has been 
commissioned and will start operations in the second half 
of January 2023. The investment for this pilot plant was 
US$ 275,000.

In addition, the feasibility study 
has been completed for their 
copper plant, which houses 
their mine closure plan and has 
obtained the corresponding 
approval from SENACE for 
the Environmental Impact 
Assessment (EIA). This supports 
a management with the highest 
environmental safety standards, 
continuously coordinating with 
the communities of Huaral and 
Sayán, the Lachay National 
Reserve, the Municipality of 
Huaral and the Municipality of 
Chancay.

Operations are expected to 
resume in the fourth quarter of 
2023. The management process 
for the new equipment will start 
in April, and the maintenance 
work prior to the start of 
operations will start in June. The 
restart will be progressive until a 
treatment capacity of 2800 MT/
month of concentrate is reached.

SHARED SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

In order to prioritize our ESG issues, we 
performed a materiality assessment, which 
allows us to identify the environmental, 
social and corporate governance issues 
that are most critical to manage in 
the organization. Buenaventura’s last 
materiality assessment was performed in 
2021, resulting in 10 highly-material issues, 

These issues were the result of the analysis 
of global trends and frameworks, internal 
prioritization and external consultation with 
our stakeholders. For each issue we had 
annual and medium-term goals, objectives, 
strategies and action plans that allow us to 
manage them in a timely manner.

SIGNIFICANCE FOR COMPANY

At Buenaventura, we believe in shared social 
responsibility as an effective way to address 
the social and environmental challenges at local 
and global levels. This is why our ESG strategy 
is based on the collaboration with State and 
society to promote the sustainable and inclusive 
development of the neighboring communities and 
the country as a whole.

The Shared Social Responsibility approach is 
reflected in our specific policies and actions in 
topics such as education, employment, health, 
and environment. We work hand in hand with 
local communities and the government to 
identify, address their needs, and to improve their 
living conditions. 

We not only “apply” our ESG approach “internally”, 
but we also involve our suppliers and employees 
in this shared effort, working hand in hand with 
our clients, suppliers and employees to promote 
an ESG culture in the industry as a whole 
and contribute to the achievement of the UN 
Sustainable Development Objectives.

HUMAN RIGHTS 
We are committed to respect and promote human rights in our scope 
of action in order to identify, prevent, mitigate and respond to the 
negative consequences that could arise. We align our management 
to our Human Rights Policy and our Code of Ethics and Good 
Conduct, and identify potential risks to human rights derived from 
our operation. During 2022, we started our Human Rights Due 
Diligence Process in order to identify gaps and risks related to health 
and safety, working conditions, impact on communities and the 
environment. We will continue to improve our management based on 
these results.

The scope of our due
diligence involved
three of our mining units:
El Brocal, Coimolache, and Tambomayo. 

Our due diligence began with delivery of a “Basic 
Course on Companies and Human Rights.” This 
course was intended for the personnel responsible 
for the most critical areas where potential risks on 
this matter are identified. It was delivered in April 
and 22 company leaders took part in it. 
We continued with the identification of potential 
risks and gaps in terms of human rights with the 
participation of representatives from different 
areas of the company. The topics identified were: 
harassment, environment, use of force, relocation of 
the population and access to land, corruption, health 
and safety. 
The objective was to identify how we are performing 
in terms of compliance with human rights and how 

we could improve. For that 
purpose, we conducted a 
qualitative study through 
semi-structured interviews 
and focus groups as tools to 
collect information. 
The scope of our due 
diligence involved three of 
our mining units: El Brocal, 
Coimolache, and Tambomayo. 
It also involved stakeholders 
such as: strategic suppliers, 
community, civil society, 
unions and local state.

Based on the analysis of our results, we started the 
process of establishing action plans to mitigate risks that 
could infringe on our stakeholders’ rights. In line with this 
process, we ratify our respect to labor rights, to freedom of 
association and collective bargaining, to equal opportunities 
for men and women for both our employees and our 
contractors’. We also ensure respect for the sustainability 
rights of vulnerable groups such as indigenous peoples, 
women and children, firmly reject any type of discrimination, 
labor harassment, forced labor and exploitation.

SECURITY FORCES

An essential element as part of our human rights 
management is our approach to the management 
of both public and private security forces. In 
this sense, we have clear guidelines for our 
interaction, supervision and evaluation of our 
performance. 

We interact with private security as a form of 
internal control in our operations.
We interact with public security only when 
they must fulfill their control responsibilities 
on behalf of the authority before the law.
We supervise our security providers to ensure 
that they comply with their obligation to 
provide security in a manner consistent with 
the rules of conduct described by our company 
and aligned with respect for the communities 
and people in our areas of influence.
We have grievance mechanisms in place to 
report complaints regarding security forces 

through internal channels in the units 
and our ethics hotline.
We conduct audits and evaluations of 
our security providers on an ongoing 
basis in order to maintain their 
alignment with the company’s line of 
conduct towards the population and the 
communities in our areas of influence.

Risk related to extreme meteorological phenomena. In Peru 
there are landslides, gales, cold snaps, droughts and the 
so-called El Niño and La Niña phenomena, which have 
intensified in recent years.
Significant
High potential to affect the life and health of the company's 
employees, surrounding communities, flora and fauna, as 
well as the normal development of the company's 
operations. 
Torrential rains, droughts or heat waves can damage 
infrastructure and facilities, as well as interrupt the supply 
chain and stop access to water. This last point impacts the 
communities in our direct area of influence and generates 
great economic losses for the company, such as: food 
shortages, operation shutdown due to prioritization of 
resources to meet social demands, reduction of water 
availability.

Measure the carbon footprint and establish an emissions

Impact on business

Mitigation actions: 

Social
The war between Russia and Ukraine, countries that produce fertilizers, 
aggravates the risk of a shortage of this product, which Peru imports for its 
agricultural production. This could result in crop losses for farmers, in addition 
to water stress linked to climate change in certain departments of Peru. The 
consequences could be: child malnutrition, anemia, intensification of migrations 
to other cities, poverty, which could affect the communities in our direct areas 
of influence.
Significant
There could be new social needs and demands towards the company, and a 
social climate of conflict in these areas with the risk that operations could be 
shutdown. 
There is a possibility that new laws and regulations could be introduced in 
certain jurisdictions that could limit access to water resources or increase 
costs for the company's operations, as well as for the surrounding 
communities that use this resource to irrigate their crops and ensure food for 
their people.

Efficient management and use of water in operations. 
Promote the implementation of water management infrastructures for 
water storage, distribution and conservation. 
Strengthen productive development and commercial articulation programs 
with emphasis on efficient water management for crop management. 
Promote the purchase of local products that contribute to improving the 
productive capacities of farmers in the area of influence of the operations. 
Incorporate risk management into environmental management plans,

with cable bolting, allowing the elimination of 
intermediate and lower workings, and managing to 
reduce preparation costs.

Reduction of Open Pit Haul Routes  
The reconfiguration of the waste transfer hauls has 
reduced the distances between the pit and the dump 
by 0.6 km. The height of the dump was increased 
from 6 m to 24 m without affecting stability, which 
further optimized waste disposal.

Coimolache

Use of acid water instead of iron chloride  
Replacing iron chloride with acid water, a 
component obtained naturally from the contact 
of rainfall with rocks, allowed to reduce costs 
associated with the use of reagents and water 
treatment. Based on the circular economy approach, 
we were able to turn a liability into an asset.

 ; therefore, we focus on identifying, 
selecting, evaluating, developing and 
monitoring the performance of the 
companies that are part of our supply 
chain in compliance with the safety, quality,

that we require of them. 

We mainly analyze the costs of our supply 
chain, linked to the transportation of cargo 
to the mining units, procured directly by

The logistics area evaluates
your continuity as a supplier

We define critical suppliers as those that 
supply us with inputs or services that are highly 
necessary for the continuity of our operations 
and the achievement of our objectives. And we 
segment our material suppliers based on the 
type of input they supply us with, as follows: 
critical, strategic, regular and non-regular. 

After that, we carry out a homologation process 
that comprehensively assesses the ESG criteria 
and allows us to ensure that our suppliers 
comply:

Document evaluation: The documents

VACCINATION CAMPAIGNS

MENTAL HEALTH MANAGEMENT

During the first half of the year, we 
partnered and coordinated with regional 
governments and MINSA health centers 
nationwide to carry out vaccination 
campaigns for our employees. As a result, 
100% of our employees were vaccinated 
with the 3rd dose of COVID-19.

WE FOCUS ON 
4 STRATEGIES 
TO PRIORITIZE 
PREVENTION AND 
CARE IN CASES OF 
COVID-19

We continue with the Cuenta Conmigo 
program, which offers permanent, 
unlimited, free, and confidential counseling 
and psychological support to deal with 
the emotional and psychological impact 
of the pandemic. The program is aimed 
at our employees, their families, and 
the employees of our subsidiaries and 
contractors. In 2022, this program served 
more than 1000 people. 

In addition, we conducted four mental 
health campaigns, fulfilling an educational 
and preventive work regarding the aspects 
that most affected the employees at the 
beginning of the pandemic. More than 1500 
employees participated.

WELFARE AND BENEFITS
The health and welfare of our employees, their families 
and our contractors are essential; therefore, we 
prioritize prevention and attention in cases that require 
them. We focused on 4 strategies:

Vaccination campaigns
Mental health management
Nutrition, recreation and culture
Information and counseling
Welfare conditions

In addition, the 24-hour medical hotline service 
remained active to care for employees’ health in the 
event of COVID 19. And continuing with the online 
services to provide counseling and psychological, 
nutritional, legal and pension support, both for 
employees and for their families. 

We offered timely and quality social assistance to 
people infected with COVID-19 in the third wave, 
from the beginning of the infection until the medical 
discharge of each patient, providing permanent support 
to employees with sequelae.

NUTRITION, RECREATION AND 
CULTURE

We carried events for integration, 
recreation, sports (championships), culture, 
and festive activities. In 2022, festive 
dates were celebrated in all the mining 
units, complying with the health protocol: 
Mother’s and Father’s Days, Independence 
Day, Miner’s Day, Christmas for employees 
and New Year’s Eve.

In addition to that, we had: 

Flexible benefits (flexible schedules, 
home office, day off on birthdays, flexible 
hours to celebrate children’s birthdays, 
recreational afternoons, summer 
schedule, among others.)
Benefits based on agreements to 
achieve special corporate rates in health, 
education, family recreation, physical 
activity, insurance plans.

Our employees were 
given special lunches in 
the camp dining rooms, 
together with virtual and 
in-person activities for these 
celebrations. 

IN 2O22 WE CELEBRATED DIFFERENT 
FESTIVE DATES
IN ALL THE MINING UNITS

INFORMATION AND 
COUNSELING

In 2022, we maintained the virtual and in-
person programs aimed at our employees 
and their families, as well as at our 
contractors: 

Counseling and psychological support 
Health support nationwide
Personalized social assistance
Food and nutrition counseling 
Retirement and pension counseling 

As part of the retirement and pension 
counseling, we established topics such as 
changes in retirement processes in the 
mining sector, as well as retirement and 
pensions for women, having more than 
700 participants. 

WELFARE CONDITIONS

In 2022, we continued with service quality 
audits for personnel in food service, locker 
rooms, restrooms, recreational areas and 
laundry room. Based on this, we recognized 
opportunities for improvement and 
established action plans to ensure adequate 
welfare and working conditions aligned with 
the new reality.

We supervised food concessionaires 
through constant and unexpected 
inspections, assessing the role of the menu 
and innovating preferred dishes, as well 
as listening to and solving complaints 
from diners, maintaining the continuous 
improvement plans. Likewise, we continued 
with the virtual nutrition clinics for our 
employees in Lima, the units and the 
projects, and we developed the food and 
nutrition discussion.

TRAINING AND 
DEVELOPMENT
In 2022, Buenaventura’s employees 
grew professionally according to 
the enhancement of their skills and 
competencies according to the company’s 
strategic objectives. 

Twenty-six executive trainings (master’s 
degrees, diploma courses, coaching, 
leadership programs) and 48 technical 
trainings (courses, workshops) were 
delivered, investing a total of approximately 
US$ 170,000.

Mandatory trainings were 100% delivered 
at the production units (Annex 4, Annex 6, 
Environment), with a total investment of 
around US$ 600,000.

Specialized programs were also developed 
for employees of multiple operators, with a 
total of 188 people (79 employees and 109 
community inhabitants) being cared for, 
with a total investment of approximately 
US$ 240,000.

According to the strengthening of 
competence, 61.5% of openings in 
key positions were filled by internal 
employees. We firmly believe in our 
employees’ growth; therefore, we promote 
refreshing, improvement and specialization 
academic activities, in various modalities: 
synchronous, asynchronous and in-person.

SAFETY AND HEALTH
Safety is an inherent part of our operations; 
therefore, managing it is everybody’s 
responsibility, considering that its results 
are part of the quality indicators and value 
generation within the framework of a 
safe and sustainable production culture at 
Buenaventura. 

Main activities carried out: 

Approaching union boards through 
awareness-raising workshops called 
“Consolidating the Alliance to Promote 
the Participatory Safety strategy”.
Development of disruptive awareness-
raising activities aimed at employees and 
contractor companies, focused on self-
care, the right to say no and appealing 
to the family waiting for us at home. All 
this as part of the “Pacto por la Vida” 
program.
Implementation of the “Critical Risk 
Management” initiative focused on 
the increase to 13 risks to reinforce 
the efficiency and sustainability of 
engineering-type controls.
Prioritization of engineering-type 
operational controls and application 

HUMAN CAPITAL

of the ICAM methodology for accident 
investigation.
Improvement of operational controls: 
Sustainability, efficiency.
Participation as members to the SNMPE 
and in the round tables for the contributions 
to the project to modify the Mining Safety 
Regulations.

During 2022, the Accident Rate was reduced to 
2.04, 20% less than in 2021 (2.52); the number of 
disabling accidents was 84, 20% less compared 
to 2021. Additionally, the number of lost days 
and Man Hours Worked (MHW) in 2022 were 
lower compared to 2021, which has a direct 
influence on the Frequency, Severity and 
Accident Rates.

However, we regret to report three fatal 
accidents at El Brocal Mining Unit. As a result, we 
have reinforced our prevention communication 
and strengthened our control measures. 
Undoubtedly, these events require us to deploy 
greater efforts and to effectively implement 
resources to transfer to and monitor compliance 
with our safety policy and standards among our 
suppliers and contractors.

BASED THEREON, OUR MANAGEMENT IS BASED ON FOUR AXES: 

1.Outreach and communications
2.Boosting of the local economy

OUTREACH AND COMMUNICATIONS

We operate under a policy of open doors 
and constant communication to inform and 
clarify doubts about our operations and 
performance. In addition, we are committed 
to being a good neighbor, which is why we 
respect and actively participate in the socio-
cultural manifestations of the communities. 
All of this has allowed us to build bonds of 
trust with the community and its leaders, as 
well as to provide effectiveness to the social 
investment projects we promote aiming at 
local development. 

Another action that is part of this strategy 
are the guided tours of our operations, 
which comply with the corresponding health 
and safety protocols. We establish groups 
of 10 to 15 people who are part of the 
communities in which we have influence, 
as well as regional and district authorities, 
students and/or journalists, who take a 
tour of the mining unit and learn about our 
processes and activities in a transparent 
manner. Forty-seven guided tours were 
conducted in all operations, in 2022.

Likewise, as part of our strategy, we 
prioritize community outreach spaces to 
listen to the communities and communicate 
our messages more effectively. We have 
16 Permanent Information Offices (PIO) in 
the areas of influence of our mining units 
from where, during 2022, we served 4258 
people who have approached us seeking 
information. In addition, we continued 
with our door-to-door visits, reaching 2101 
homes throughout the year. 

Finally, we have a printed and digital 
newsletter called Willaspa (communicate 
in Quechua) that disseminates each of 
our social activities to workers and the 
general population. We have published 
46 newsletters during the year at all 
operations.

BOOSTING OF THE 
LOCAL ECONOMY

The generation of formal employment 
and the hiring of local companies are 
the main engine that we activate to 
boost the local economy and to promote 
knowledge and production, as we seek 
that the communities generate their own 
development. 

Accordingly, in 2022, 63.31% of the 
labor hired came from the regions and 
communities in our area of influence. 
Likewise, we have procured services and 
products from local companies for more 
than US$ 225 million in all the regions 
where we operate.

On the other hand, we have a Productive 
Development and Business Articulation 
Program in our mining units, known as 
the PRA Buenaventura. This emblematic 
program seeks to improve the traditional 
productive capacities of the local population 
to place them in a previously identified 
market, promoting business in our areas of 
influence.

WATER AND SANITATION FOR 
CCOCHACCASA

Thanks to the combined efforts of the Regional 
Government of Huancavelica and Buenaventura, 
the project to improve and expand the drinking 
water and sanitation services in the district of 
Ccochaccasa, in the province of Angaraes, was 
completed.

This project was executed through the work for 
taxes modality managed by the Julcani Mining 
Unit, which has the firm purpose of contributing 
to the improvement of sanitation conditions for 
people in Ccochaccasa.

It is important to emphasize that this is the first 
work for taxes in the department, and one of the 
relevant aspects is that it has a 120 m3 capacity 
reservoir, with which 287 house connections will 
be achieved. They will also build 95 manholes, 
a sewage system, and a wastewater treatment 
system.

INFRASTRUCTURE

We are aware of the State’s efforts to close infrastructure 
gaps in the country. In this sense, we collaborate with 
leveraged works and in the modality of works for taxes. 

In 2022, we focused on four fundamental aspects: water and 
sanitation, irrigation, connectivity, and road infrastructure. 
Twenty-four projects have been completed, benefiting 
more than 60,000 people in the regions of Arequipa, Pasco, 
Cajamarca, Huancavelica, Apurímac, Moquegua, and Lima. 
Their value is around US$ 10 million, with around US$ 5 million 
corresponding to the works-for-taxes mechanism.

Undoubtedly, infrastructure allows for the development of our 
communities: 

601 families now have water and sanitation connections.
333 rural homes received their basic sanitation units, and have 
water and sewage.
Irrigation works will benefit more than 450 hectares.
We have contributed to the improvement and maintenance 
of more than 182 km of roads and the paving of more than 
15,000 m2 of urban roads that have an impact on commerce 
and communication.

In 2022, among our direct 
execution projects, donations 
or trusts, we contributed $ 
1,876,448.42.

Finally, we would like to 
highlight the Huaruro Irrigation 
Canal, a megaproject that 
proves that agricultural 
development and mining 
can coexist; also, this 
type of project is part of 
Buenaventura’s policies to 
generate environmental assets 
in the eight regions of the 
country where it operates.

SOCIAL MANAGEMENT

In the middle of the Colca Canyon, in Arequipa, 
Compañía de Minas Buenaventura and the peasant 
community of Tapay completed the Huaruro 
irrigation canal, which will be emblematic for having 
conquered a rough geography and confirming that 
agriculture and formal mining can work hand in 
hand for the development of families and micro-
entrepreneurs who farm the land. 

The Huaruro Canal, located approximately 2900 
meters above sea level, will capture part of the 
water from the Molloco River and through an 
encapsulated pipeline of more than 15 km in length 
will deliver permanent, good quality water to the 
farmers of the rural annexes of Belén, Malata, 
Cosñirhua, San Juan de Chuccho and Tapay, which 
make up the district of the same name.

BENEFITS: 

Modernization of the irrigation system
Transportation of more than 140 liters of 
water per second to strengthen Tapay’s 
productive activities.
Water provision to more than 380 hectares 
of farming land and improvement of the 

existing ones.
Exponential growth of the agricultural 
supply of the fertile valley of the district.
Improved production of avocados, 
elderberries, peaches, prickly pears and 
chirimoyas in the Arequipa region.
Capacity building and generation of local 
employment in the construction of the 
canal.

It should be noted that, since 2017, the year 
in which the community of Tapay, the civil 
society of the district and Buenaventura 

laid the first stone, it has developed in an 
environment of permanent dialogue, in which 
the improvement of the quality of life of the 
Tapay population has been prioritized. 

In Arequipa, Buenaventura and Tapay are 
proving that mining and agriculture can 
also be allies in the development of remote 
localities of our country’s geography, turning 
the Huaruro Irrigation Canal into a model that 
can be replicated in other areas as part of the 
country’s development.

HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

OTHER SOCIAL INDICATORS

Education is one of the fundamental pillars for human 
development and, possibly, the most affected by the pandemic, 
followed by health, which has affected our children nationwide. 

In this sense, we have continued with our “Aprender para Crecer” 
project, which is responsible for teacher training and has been 
adapted since the remote modality of 2020. Throughout the year, 
it has benefited 172 teachers from 46 schools and impacted 2259 
students, in 8 districts of 4 regions: Lima, Pasco, Huancavelica, 
and Arequipa.

In 2022, we executed the 
Citizen Participation Plans 
in the following units and/or 
projects: El Brocal, Coimolache, 
Tambomayo, Orcopampa, San 
Gabriel, and Trapiche. Citizen 
Participation Plans were 
executed in 6 out of 10 mining 
units and projects, which 
represents 60% of the total.

We know that one class is not enough to enhance capabilities, 
therefore our training strategy is to develop workshops, 
demonstration sessions, and group counseling and personalized 
ad hoc activities. In addition to this, we held workshops with 
parents, fundamental actors in the educational development of 
our children.

We recognize the importance of water for sustainable development, both globally and 
locally, and we consider it a strategic resource, using it efficiently in the metallurgical 

process, committing to its responsible management in all our processes, reducing its 
consumption, promoting its recirculation and storing it primarily for the use of the population.

We also obtained 10 operating permits. 4 
were discharge permits, 2 were water use 
rights, 2 were permits for the execution of 
minimum works and 2 were permits for 
hydrogeological studies.

In water management, community 
participation is relevant; therefore, we 
continued the participatory monitoring of 
water quality under the initiative of local 
stakeholders in the areas surrounding 
the operating units or driven by the 
operation itself, with the participation of 
authorities and community representatives. 
This strategy has allowed to strengthen 
transparency and trust to build water 
governance at the local level. 

Twelve participatory monitoring activities 
were carried out between the dry and wet 
seasons, involving the participation of the 
operating units. In exploration projects, 7 
participatory monitoring activities were 
carried out. It is worth highlighting the 
process started by Coimolache with the 
formation of the Participatory Monitoring 
Committees of the El Tingo peasant 
community and the district of Chugur, in 
compliance with the commitments taken on 

in the environmental instrument. Finally, the 
experience of the Orcopampa Participatory 
Monitoring Committee was recognized with 
the Sustainable Development Award from 
the National Society of Mining, Petroleum 
and Energy.

CLIMATE CHANGE AND 
EMISSIONS
One of our commitments is to promote 
actions to mitigate greenhouse gas 
emissions in order to manage climate 
change. 

One of these actions has been measuring 
the carbon footprint of the 7 mining units in 
the 2021 period, in categories 1 and 2, which 
refer to fossil fuel consumption and energy 
consumption. Our result shows a total 
footprint of 116,931 TnCO2eq. In addition, 
this inventory was registered in the Carbon 
Footprint Peru Program of the Ministry of 
the Environment, obtaining the respective 
certification of each of the mining units. 

BuenaventuraINTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT2022WE DO MORE THAN MINING84

On the other hand, a qualitative assessment 
of climate risks was carried out in each of 
the mining units, considering the levels of 
exposure and the possible impacts that 
could be generated in the operations due 
to hydrometeorological phenomena. The 
risks derived from climate change that could 
most affect the operating units are: 

At the physical level: Mass movements 
caused by increased precipitation, frost 
frequency, and increased UV radiation. 
At the transition level: Policy changes and 
cost increases caused by the potential 
tax payment due to the generation of 
GHG emissions and the displacement and 
obsolescence of current technologies by 
carbon-efficient technologies.

Finally, based on the inventory carried out, 
a strategic plan is being drawn up to reduce 
emissions from the mining units by 2030, 
considering the life of mine and strategies 
to replace the use of fossil fuels and energy 
efficiency, together with the change of the 
energy matrix towards the use of renewable 
energies that will significantly contribute to 
reduce the risks associated with climate.

ENVIRONMENTAL 
INNOVATION
Our biotechnological innovation project at 
the La Zanja Mining Unit obtained State 
funding in the amount of US$ 115,400 to 
carry out tests and verify its efficiency in 
situ. The project monitoring will continue 
during 2023.

SOIL 
REHABILITATION 
AND REVEGETATION

BIOTECHNOLOGY

Objective: Enrichment of "top soil" and "seeds" through consortia of benefi-
cial native microorganisms, as biofertilizers.

Purpose: Improve soil fertilization and reduce mine closure cover costs.

During 2023 we will seek to develop 
innovation projects to improve water 
treatment efficiency in the reduction 
of sulfates and manganese, one of the 
parameters with the highest removal costs.

OTHER 
ENVIRONMENTAL 
INDICATORS

In addition, as part of the innovation 
process, the digitalization of environmental 
management information was started, 
and data from the various environmental 
tools was collected so as to evaluate and 
measure the environmental performance of 
each of Buenaventura’s unit and/or project. 
The information is made available to the 
environmental team to improve decision-
making and reduce the time required to 
process it. 

MINE CLOSURE

The mine closure allowance for mining units, 
exploration projects, and environmental 
liabilities reached of US$ 467 million in 2022. 

Soil rehabilitation and revegetation works 
executed during the year amounted to US$ 
4.48 million. 

Other closure works, mainly related to 
physical and geochemical stability of 
components, amounted to US$ 14.78 million.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the 

consolidated financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. 
Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our 

assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements. The results 
of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the 

basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 

Description of 
the Matter 

Impairment of Property, plant, equipment and development cost 

  As of December 31, 2022, the net book value of the Group's property, plant, 

equipment and development costs was US$1,527.2 million. Related 

disclosures are included in Note 2.4(m) and Note 11(b) to the consolidated 
financial statements. The Group reviews and evaluates its property, plant, 
equipment and development costs for impairment, at least once a year, or 
when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related book 

values, at the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) Level, may not be recoverable. 
When the Group determines the existence of indicators of significant 
impairment, Management performs an evaluation to determine if there is 
impairment. There is impairment when the book value of an asset or CGU 
exceeds its recoverable amount, the recoverable amount being the higher of 
fair value less costs to sell and value in use. On the other hand, a previously 

recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in 
the assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount of the asset or 
CGU since the last impairment loss was recognized. The Group has 
estimated the value in use at the level of each CGU to test the impairment of 
its property, plant, equipment and development costs. During the year 2022, 
the Group recognized a reversal of the impairment in the Río Seco CGU of 

US$19.9 million. 

The audit carried out on the impairment assessment of the Group's property, 
plant, equipment and development costs was complex and involved 
judgment due to the importance of this estimate in determining the value in 
use of each CGU. In particular, estimates of value in use were sensitive to 

significant assumptions such as production volumes, mine life, market price 
of metals, discount rates reflecting current market assessments of the time 
value of money, and the specific risks associated with each CGU, including 
estimated amounts of recoverable minerals and residual value.

Addressed the 
Matter in Our 

Audit   

Management of the Group on the evaluation process of impairment of 
property, plant, equipment and development costs, including the process to 

identify and evaluate possible indicators of impairment and reversal; as well 
as an understanding of the review carried out by the Group of the significant 

assumptions, the projected financial information and the methodology used 
to develop said estimates. 

To test the estimated value in use of the Group's CGUs, we carried out audit 

procedures that included, evaluating estimation methodology and testing the 
significant assumptions discussed above, as well as the underlying data used 

by the Group in its analysis. 

We evaluate projected financial information by comparing commodity prices 
with available market information and internal business plans. We also 

assess future production levels used in impairment analyses, which are 
based on life-of-mine plans, against historical estimates and actual results. 

We engaged our valuation specialists to help us compare commodity price 
assumptions with market data and analyst forecasts. Additionally, our 
valuation specialists reviewed the discount rates used, comparing them to 

current industry and economic trends, and evaluated the specific risk 
premiums applied. We also perform a sensitivity analysis on changes in 
discount rates and commodity price assumptions to assess any changes in 
the recoverable value of the CGUs that might result from changes in these 
assumptions. 

The Group engages independent consultants to validate the estimated 
amount of recoverable mineral reserves, which were carried out by qualified 
persons of the Managament and used as part of the impairment analyses. 
We assess the competence and objectivity of the independent consultants, 
as well as the competence of the Group's qualified persons. In addition, we 
evaluate the Group's estimated amounts of recoverable minerals by 

comparing them to the historical operating performance of each CGU. 

In addition, we assess the disclosure of this matter in Note 2.4(m) and Note 
11(b) to the consolidated financial statements.

Description of 

  As disclosed in Note 31(d) to the consolidated financial statements, the 

the Matter 

Group has identified certain contingencies related to income tax associated 
with the fiscal years 2007 to 2010, 2013 and 2014 and 2017 In these years, 

the tax authorities pertinent parties have challenged the tax treatment applied 
by the Group under the Peruvian income tax law. As of December 31, 2022, 

the Group has recognized an account receivable for payments made under 
protest to the tax authority for an amount of $617.7 million, as a result of 

payments made to the tax authorities as part of the tax claim process in Peru, 
but for which the Group is disputing the validity of the assessment made by 

the tax authorities. The Group has disclosed, but has not recorded, a 
provision related to these matters, as Management has concluded that the 

criteria for the recognition of an income tax liability under IFRS have not been 
met and that the amounts paid to date will be recoverable based on the 

technical merits of the income tax positions adopted by the Group. 
Uncertainty in a tax position may arise when there is uncertainty as to the 
applicability of income tax law, or the applicability of tax law to a particular 
transaction, or both. The Group uses significant judgment to determine, 
based on technical merits, whether its tax position is more likely to be upheld 
in determining the recoverable amount of income tax-related accounts 

receivable. 

The audit of the estimate of uncertain tax positions and recoverability related 
to income tax receivables, before the uncertain tax treatment is resolved, 
requires a high degree of auditor judgment and a significant audit effort due 
to the complexity and judgment used by the Group in the determination, 

based on interpretations of the income tax legislation and legal provisions in 
Peru. 

How We 
Addressed the 
Matter in Our 

Audit   

  We obtained an understanding of the design of the controls by the Group's 

Management on the accounting process for the determination of income tax, 
including uncertain tax positions and tax contingencies, for this we obtained 

an understanding of the review carried out by the administration on the 
technical merits of uncertain tax positions, disputed tax assessments, and 

determination and approval of the recoverable amount of income tax-related 
accounts receivable.

Our audit procedures included, among others, the evaluation of the 

assumptions used by the Group to develop its uncertain tax positions based 
on the Peruvian income tax laws, including the inspection and analysis of 

these matters by internal lawyers. and external to the Group. 

In addition, we engage our tax professionals to assess the technical merits of 
the Group's tax position and to assess the application of relevant tax law and 

accounting guidance when assessing the recognition and recoverability of 
tax-related receivables. to earnings. 

In addition, we evaluate the disclosure of this matter in Note 31(d) to the 

consolidated financial statements. 

Other information included in The Group’s 2022 Annual Report 

Other information consists of the information included in the Annual Report, other than the 
consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Management is responsible for the 
other information. 

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express 

any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the 
other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent 
with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears 
to be materially misstated.  

When we read and consider the Annual Report for December 31, 2022, if we conclude that it contains 
a material misstatement, we will communicate the identified matter to those charged with governance 
of the Group. 

Responsibilities of management for the consolidated financial statements 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial 
statements in accordance with IFRSs as issued by the IASB, and for such internal control as 

management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements 
that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the 

Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going

represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or 
business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial

audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. 

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned 

scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in 
internal control that we identify during our audit. 

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant 
ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and 
other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, 

actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied. 

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters 
that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current

unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare 
circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the 

adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest

MANAGEMENT 
ANALYSIS AND 
DISCUSSION

THE MAIN VARIATIONS IN THE 
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE 12-MONTH PERIODS ENDED ON 
DECEMBER 31 OF 2022 AND 2021, ARE 
EXPLAINED HEREUNDER:

(FIGURES IN US DOLLARS ARE EXPRESSED 
IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT FOR METAL 
PRICES AND QUANTITIES)

FINANCIAL RESULTS

NET SALES OF GOODS

In 2022, the sales of goods accounted for 
US$ 801,199, compared with sales of US$ 
863,470 in 2021, which represents a 7% 
decrease. This variation is mainly explained 
by the net effect of the following factors:

a)

Gold sales 
The sales of gold increased as a result of 
the effect of the rise in prices from US$ 
1775.37/oz in 2021 to US$ 1781.28/oz in 
2022, and the volumes sold increased by 
20,320 ounces of gold, compared with 
2021 (a 14% increase). The combined 
effect meant a greater sales revenue of 
US$ 37,071 in 2022, compared with 2021, 
mainly explained by the net effect of: (i) 
the increase in sales of the Orcopampa 

and Tambomayo mining units by US$ 44,774 
and US$ 13,054, respectively, as a result of the 
higher volume sold, offset by (ii) the decrease 
in sales of the Tambomayo mining unit by US$ 
28,179, as a result of the decrease in sales to 
third parties during 2022.

b)

Copper sales
The copper sales increased as a result of a net 
effect of the sold-volumes increase by 9286 MT 
of copper, compared with 2021 (a 26% increase) 
and the decrease in prices from US$ 9455.09/
MT in 2021 to US$ 8112.84/MT in 2022 (a 14% 
decrease). The combined effect meant a greater 
sales revenue of US$ 26,756 in 2022, compared 
with 2021, mainly explained by the increase in 
the sold quantities of the Colquijirca mining unit 
by US$ 26,380.

c)

Silver sales
Silver sales decreased as a result of the 
decrease in the average price from US$ 25.09/
oz in 2021 to US$ 20.89/oz in 2022 (a 17% 
decrease) and lower volumes sold by 5,072,178 

BuenaventuraINTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT2022WE DO MORE THAN MINING8

combined effect meant a lower sales revenue of 
US$ 36,094 in 2022, compared with 2021, mainly 
due to the effect of the decrease in sales of the 
Colquijirca and Uchucchacua mining units by US$ 
29,366 and US$ 14,814, respectively, as a result 
of the decrease in the volumes sold, despite the 
agreed prices increased.

e)

Deductions
During 2022, deductions to metal prices for 
maquila and penalties in concentrate sales as a 
whole amounted to US$ 183,077, compared with 
US$ 196,201 in 2021, amounts that have been 
deducted from total net sales of each year.

SALES COSTS

In 2022, operating expenses amounted to US$ 763,473, 
compared with US$ 813,106 in 2021, which represents 
a decrease of 6%. This decrease was mainly due to the 
effect of:

ounces of silver. The 
combined effect meant a 
lower sales revenue of US$ 
159,007 in 2022, compared 
with 2021, mainly due to 
the effect of the decrease in 
sales of the Uchucchacua and 
Colquijirca mining units by 
US$ 78,625 and US$ 64,028, 
respectively, as a result 
of the temporary halt in 
production at Uchucchacua 
and the lower volumes and 
prices at Colquijirca.

d)

Zinc sales
Zinc sales decreased as a 
result of the net effect of a 
decrease in the volumes sold 
by 14,902 tons, compared 
with 2021, and an increase 
in the average sales price 
from US$ 3185.05/MT in 
2021 to US$ 3556.72/MT in 
2022 (a 12% increase). The 

FINANCIAL RESULTS

a)

Cost of sales of goods, without considering 
depreciation and amortization
The cost of sales of goods, without considering 
depreciation or amortization, decreased by US$ 
67,789, from US$ 529,731 in 2021 to US$ 461,942 
in 2022, which represents a decrease of 13%. 

The decrease in cost of 
sales is mainly explained 
by the net effect of i) the 
halt in operations at the 
Uchucchacua mining unit 
(see 2(b)), which generated 
a lower cost of sales by US$ 
95,359, partially offset by 
ii) a higher cost of sales by 
US$ 19,976 at the Colquijirca 
mining unit.

BuenaventuraINTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT2022WE DO MORE THAN MININGb)

Costs not absorbed during production 
shut down
Unabsorbed costs during the halt in 
production decreased by US$ 2451, from US$ 
25,509 (net of intercompany eliminations) 
in 2021 to US$ 23,058 (net of intercompany 
eliminations) in 2022, which represents a 
decrease of 10%. During 2022 and 2021, the 
unabsorbed production costs of the mining 
units correspond to the halt in production at 
the Uchucchacua and Río Seco mining units.

The Uchucchacua mining unit experienced 
operational problems that were 
aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic, 
which forced the company to reduce 
production estimates. Consequently, 
on October 15 of 2021, the company 
requested the Ministry of Energy and 
Mines the temporary suspension of 
activities at said unit, specifically those 
related to mining and smelting. As a result 
of this suspension, the industrial activities 
at subsidiary Procesadora Industrial Río 
Seco S.A. (which receives raw material 
from the Uchucchacua mining unit) were 
suspended until the restart of operations 
at Uchucchacua, scheduled for the second 
half of 2023.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

c)

Exploration in operating units
Exploration in operating units increased 
by US$ 24,384, from US$ 56,412 in 2021 
to US$ 80,796 in 2022, mainly due to the 
increase in explorations in all the units 
of the Group. Explorations increased 
mainly at Uchucchacua and La Zanja by 
US$ 21,502 and US$ 2638, respectively.

OPERATING INCOME (EXPENSE), 
NET
In 2022, operating expenses amounted to 
US$ 100,348, compared with US$ 153,302 
in 2021, which represents a decrease of 
35% mainly explained by:

a) 

Recovery (loss) for impairment of 
long-lived assets
During 2022, a US$ 19.9-million 
recovery of the 2021 provision for 
impairment of long-lived assets related 
to Río Seco was recorded. Additionally, 
US$ 5.0 million were recovered of the 
provision for the La Zanja mining unit 
during 2021.

the fact that, in 2021, the Colquijirca mining unit 
recorded a write-off of the deferred stripping cost 
asset for US$ 6763. During 2022, there were no 
write-offs for this item. 

c) 

Others, net
The US$ 14,175-variation in “Others, net” from a US$ 
29,260-expense in 2021 to a US$ 15,085-expense in 
2022 is mainly explained by the effect of: (i) an US$ 
8455 income related to income from the transfer 
of mining rights by the Chaupiloma subsidiary and 
(ii) a US$ 4462 income resulting from changes in 
provisions for exploration-project closure liabilities 
and environmental liabilities. 

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET
The Other income (expense) net item went from a 
profit of US$ 101,129 in 2021 to a profit of US$124,429 
in 2022, mainly due to the net effect of: 

b)

Asset write-off for deferred-clearing 
cost
The US$ 6763 variation is explained by 

a)

Net income shares of associates and joint ventures
The decrease in the results of associates and joint 
ventures from a US$ 240,450 profit in 2021 to a

Other net income (expenses) went from 
a profit of US$101,129 in 2021 to a 
profit in 2022 of US$124,429

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAX
This item is formed by the Income Tax and the Mining Royalties and 
the Special Mining Tax.

a) Profits tax
This item shows a variation of a lower income of US$ 27,465 
mainly explained by a lower income in the deferred portion of 
the tax on a US$ 43,951 profit in 2021 compared with a US$ 
15,449 profit in 2022, mainly explained by the positive effect of 
the translation in foreign currency of the items in dollars for US$ 
20,153 during 2022.

b) Mining Royalties and Special Mining Tax
This item shows a variation of a lower expense of US$ 3753, 
mainly explained by the lower expense in the current portion of 
US$ 3705.

US$ 176,270 profit in 2022, 
resulting from a higher loss of 
Sociedad Minera Cerro Verde 
S.A.A. and Compañía Minera 
Coimolache S.A. by US$ 52,121 
and US$ 10,663, respectively.

b) 

Net exchange difference
The change in the net 
exchange difference from a 
loss of US$ 18,686 in 2021 
to a profit of US$ 26,871 is 
explained by the changes 
in the exchange rate of the 
accounts receivable from 
tax claims. The SUNAT claim 
was registered in soles as 
part of “Trade accounts 
and other receivables”, 
therefore, exchange rate 
variations will directly impact 
the company’s financial 
statements.
