<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Although we are a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware, substantially all of our assets and operations are located, and a substantial portion of our
revenues derive from sources, outside the United States. Almost all of our directors and officers and certain of the experts named in this prospectus reside outside of the United States and all or a
significant portion of the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon
such persons or to enforce judgments against them obtained in United States courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws or otherwise. We have
been advised by Mexican counsel that no treaty exists between the United States and Mexico for the reciprocal enforcement of judgments and we have been advised by our special Peruvian counsel that no
such treaty exists between the United States and Peru. Mexican and Peruvian courts have enforced judgments rendered in the United States by virtue of the legal principles of reciprocity and comity,
which include the review in Mexico or Peru of the United States judgment to ascertain whether certain basic principles of due process, public policy and other specific matters have been complied with,
without reviewing the merits of the subject matter of the case. Nevertheless, we have been advised that there is doubt as to the enforceability, in original actions in Mexican or Peruvian courts, of
liabilities predicated in whole or in part on United States federal securities laws and as to the enforceability in Mexican and Peruvian courts of judgments of United States courts obtained in actions
predicated upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws. </FONT></P>

M&eacute;xico. Effective April&nbsp;1, 2005, SCC acquired substantially all of the outstanding common stock of Minera M&eacute;xico. The acquisition was accounted for in a manner
similar to a pooling of interests as it involved the reorganization of entities under common control. Under applicable accounting requirements, the financial statements of SCC and Minera
M&eacute;xico are combined on a historical cost basis for all the periods presented since they were under common control during all of the periods presented. The combined financial results may
not be indicative of the results of operations that actually would have been achieved had the acquisition of Minera M&eacute;xico taken place at the beginning of the periods presented and do
not purport to be indicative of future results. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are the world's second-largest publicly traded copper company as measured by reserves. Based on 2005 sales, we are the world's fifth largest copper mining
company, the third largest copper smelting company and the fifth largest copper refining company. We believe that we are also among the world's largest producers of molybdenum, silver and zinc. All of
our mining operations are located in Peru and Mexico and we conduct exploration activities in Peru, Mexico and Chile. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With
the acquisition of Minera M&eacute;xico in the second quarter of 2005, we determined that to best manage our business we needed to focus on three operating segments. These
segments are our Peruvian operations, our Mexican open-pit operations and our Mexican underground mining polymetallic operations, known as our IMMSA unit. Our Peruvian operations include
the Toquepala and Cuajone mine complexes and the smelting and refining plants, industrial railroad and port facilities which service both facilities. Our Mexican open-pit operations
include the La Caridad and Cananea mine complexes and smelting and refining plants and support facilities which service both complexes. Our IMMSA unit includes five underground mines that produce
zinc, copper, silver and gold, and several industrial processing facilities for zinc and silver. We own and operate the following mines and metallurgical complexes: </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
April&nbsp;1, 2005, we acquired Minera M&eacute;xico from Americas Mining Corporation, or AMC, a subsidiary of Grupo M&eacute;xico, S.A. de C.V., our controlling
stockholder. On a stand-alone basis, Minera M&eacute;xico, which owns the Cananea and La Caridad mines, among other assets, is the largest mining company in Mexico and the eleventh largest
copper producer in the world. On April&nbsp;1, 2005, we exchanged 67,207,640 newly issued shares of our common stock for the outstanding shares of Minera M&eacute;xico, and Minera
M&eacute;xico became our 99%-owned subsidiary. Upon completion of the merger, Grupo M&eacute;xico increased its indirect beneficial ownership of our capital stock from approximately
54.2% to approximately 75.1%. We now own 99.95% of Minera Mexico. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For
the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2005, after giving effect to our acquisition of Minera M&eacute;xico, we had net sales of U.S.$4,112.6&nbsp;million and EBITDA of
U.S.$2,335.2&nbsp;million. Over the same period we produced 689,929 tons of copper, 14,803 tons of molybdenum, 18,495&nbsp;million ounces of silver and 245,132 tons of zinc, approximately 59% of
which was sold outside of Latin America. As of December&nbsp;31, 2005, we had proven and probable reserves of approximately 57.7&nbsp;million tons of copper. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Third largest copper reserves in the world.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have an estimated 57.7&nbsp;million tons of proven and probable copper
reserves, the third largest copper reserves in the world and the second largest copper reserves of any publicly-traded company. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Highly integrated copper production.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are a highly integrated producer of copper which enables us to maintain high smelter
utilization, achieve pricing premiums through value-added copper products and reduce our reliance on third parties for treatment and refinery services. For example, our Cananea and La Caridad mines
provide a stable and secure source of copper concentrate for our La Caridad
complex, our Cuajone and Toquepala mines supply our Ilo complex and our underground mines provide zinc and copper concentrate for our San Luis Potos&iacute; complex. Our integrated operations
enable us to have significant economies of scale with reduced costs and earnings volatility. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A portfolio of low-cost operations.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our copper mines are well positioned from a cost perspective. In addition to
our integrated operations, we believe we benefit from other advantages that contribute to making us a low-cost producer of copper and other metals. These advantages include the relatively
high quality of our reserves and the proximity of many of our operations to each other. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Diversified mix of operations.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We operate four copper mines, with no one mine contributing more than 29% of our total mine
production during 2005. We also operate three metallurgical complexes. We believe this diversity of operations reduces the impact of a major mine failure or labor disruptions at any one operation. We
offer a diverse product mix that includes molybdenum, a byproduct of our copper mining operations, as well as other byproduct metals, such as zinc and silver. We believe we are one of the world's
largest producers of molybdenum. Further, our operations and reserves are balanced between Peru and Mexico, countries with a tradition of mining and well-established mining laws. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Significant organic growth prospects that can be financed with internal funds.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have identified a number of potential
development projects that we believe can be implemented to increase our future production capacity without major investments. These development projects, which include several brownfield projects that
together could increase our production capacity by an estimated 73,000 tons (or approximately 11% of our current capacity) of copper per year, can be financed by internally generated funds and can be
implemented within two to three years. We also have identified other potential brownfield and greenfield projects at our properties in Peru and Mexico and are currently conducting exploration
activities in Peru, Mexico and Chile. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our objective is to increase earnings and cash flow growth in varied market conditions. We seek to achieve this objective by focusing on the following strategies: </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Growing and expanding our operations.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We intend to further realize the potential of our existing operations by expanding our
production capacity and reserves, as well as exploring and developing promising mineral deposits. We believe that our existing operations have significant growth potential that can be financed
principally through internally generated cash flows. We also intend to supplement internal growth by selectively pursuing value-enhancing acquisition opportunities. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Continuing our focus on copper.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are primarily a copper producer, with approximately 66.6% of our 2005 revenues derived
from copper production. We intend to continue to focus principally on the production of copper. Our earnings and cash flows are highly sensitive to movements in the price of copper, and as of
March&nbsp;31, 2006, we estimate that a U.S.$0.01 per pound change in the price of copper would create an approximately U.S.$8.5&nbsp;million change in net earnings. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Improving the cost position of our operations.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are focused on improving our cost structure in order to maintain our
profitability throughout the commodity price cycle and to generate cash flow to fund attractive investment opportunities. We seek to lower costs by (i)&nbsp;improving economies of scale through
production expansions, (ii)&nbsp;investing selectively in new equipment and advanced production technologies, such as SX/EW, and (iii)&nbsp;fully utilizing our metallurgical facilities to capture

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Maintaining a relatively conservative capital structure.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As of March&nbsp;31, 2006, we had a cash balance of
U.S.$775.6&nbsp;million and total debt of U.S.$1,172.1&nbsp;million, giving us a net debt position of U.S.$396.5&nbsp;million and a ratio of net debt to net debt plus stockholders' equity of
11.1%. On January&nbsp;27, 2006, we announced a quarterly dividend of U.S.$2.75 per share, which we paid on March&nbsp;3, 2006. We intend to use substantially all the net proceeds of this offering
for investment in various expansion and modernization projects, with the remainder, if any, to be used for general corporate purposes. We seek to maintain a relatively conservative level of financial
leverage with the goal of enabling us to minimize our borrowing costs, to be opportunistic regarding growth projects and strategic investments and acquisitions and to reduce financial risks during
market downturns. </FONT></P>

<BR></FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Copper Market Conditions    <BR>    </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Copper is a fundamental material in the world's infrastructure. Copper has unique chemical and physical properties, including high electrical conductivity and
resistance to corrosion, as well as excellent malleability and ductility, that have made it a superior material for use in the electrical energy, telecommunications, building construction,
transportation and industrial machinery businesses. Wire and cable products, used principally as energy cable, building wire and magnet wire, account for as much as 71% of copper consumption. Copper
is also an important metal in non-electrical applications such as plumbing, roofing and, when alloyed with zinc to form brass, in many industrial and consumer applications. The building
and construction industry accounts for approximately 37% of worldwide copper usage. Worldwide copper sales in 2005 were estimated to be approximately U.S.$62.4&nbsp;billion based on 2005 worldwide
copper sales of 17.0&nbsp;million tons and the average copper price per pound in 2005 of U.S.$1.67. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Historically,
the price of copper has been both volatile and cyclical, a reflection of current and expected economic conditions and the supply of and demand for copper. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During
the 1980s and 1990s, copper prices averaged, on an annual basis, approximately U.S.$0.84 per pound and U.S.$1.01 per pound, respectively. The price of copper has increased
considerably over the past few years since its 15-year low reached in November&nbsp;2001, particularly since March&nbsp;2003, when significant appreciation of the metal commenced. In
2005, the average copper price of U.S.$1.67 per pound was almost U.S.$0.37 higher than the previous year's average. We believe factors contributing to the current strength of copper prices include: </FONT></P>

<UL>
<DL compact>
<DT style='margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2><I>Reduced supply and low inventory levels.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> Reduction in new mine developments, declining grades at existing mines and
discipline among existing producers in not expanding production, have all contributed to a current supply deficit. This has been aided by the significant restructuring and consolidation in the
industry over the past few years. Current inventories of copper held by producers and commodity exchanges are at historically low levels. When copper inventories are low, higher copper prices
generally result.
<BR><BR></FONT></DD><DT style='margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2><I>Increased demand</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>especially from China.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> Increases in worldwide industrial
production as well as increased use of copper in developing countries, especially China, have led to recent increases in demand for copper. Excluding China, global market consumption of copper
decreased by 0.5% in 2005. China's copper consumption, however, grew 10% in 2005, accounting for an approximate 1.5%
increase in global market consumption of copper in 2005. Demand has also benefited from a recovery in the U.S. manufacturing sector. As producers' and commodities exchanges' inventories have decreased
and industrial production and consumer confidence have increased, end users have increased their business inventories of copper as they have realized the need to have copper available, particularly on
short notice.
<BR><BR></FONT></DD><DT style='margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2><I>Weakening U.S. dollar.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> There has been a strong inverse correlation over time between copper prices and U.S. dollar exchange
rates. Approximately 92% of copper production occurs in regions where the local currency is not the U.S. dollar. Production economics for producers and the impact of raw materials costs on consumers
in these regions change with movements in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against these regions' currencies. The current weakness of the U.S. dollar has had a significant upward impact on the
price of copper in U.S. dollars. </FONT></DD></DL>
</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;These
factors, which are all interdependent and impact prices to varying degrees, are reflected in the current market price of copper. Changes to any one of these factors will impact
prices in the future. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following are significant developments since December&nbsp;31, 2005. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mining Accident.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On February&nbsp;19, 2006, a gas explosion occurred at our Pasta de Conchos coal mine, located in the San
Juan Sabinas municipality, in the state of Coahuila, Mexico. The explosion caused a cave-in at three of the main tunnels leading into the mine. Initially 11 of our miners were rescued,
some with minor injuries and some unharmed. Regrettably, 65 of our miners remained trapped. Our crews, with assistance from the Mexican army, regional industry and support from the government of
Coahuila, worked around the clock to reach and rescue our men. As work progressed, the build up of methane gas made it apparent that any chance of our men remaining alive was hopeless. On
February&nbsp;25, we redefined our efforts as a mission to recover the bodies of our deceased workers; this mission is still in process. The operations at Pasta de Conchos have been suspended and it
is uncertain when such operations will resume. See note&nbsp;I to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Combined Financial Statements contained in our 2006 First Quarter Form&nbsp;10-Q
attached hereto as Annex C for additional information related to the mining accident. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dividends.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On January&nbsp;27, 2006, we announced a quarterly dividend of U.S.$2.75 per share, which we paid on
March&nbsp;3, 2006, to our stockholders of record as of February&nbsp;15, 2006. On April&nbsp;26, we announced an additional dividend of U.S.$2.75 per share payable on June&nbsp;2, 2006 to our
shareholders of record as of May&nbsp;16, 2006. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Labor Issues and Work Stoppages.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Despite an agreement with the National Union of Mine, Metallurgical and Similar Workers of
Mexico, workers at the La Caridad mine have illegally blocked the entrance to the mine and concentrator since March&nbsp;24, 2006. On June&nbsp;9, 2006, we closed our copper mine at La Caridad and
its lime plant at Agua Prieta as a result of this continued blockage. The La Caridad mine is owned by our subsidiary Mexicana de Cobre, S.A. de C.V., which has commenced appropriate legal actions
before Mexican federal authorities. We do not believe this dispute will be resolved in the near future. As a result, we intend to terminate our individual labor agreements and collective bargaining
agreements in accordance with Mexican federal labor law. Workers at our San Mart&iacute;n and Taxco underground mines have staged several illegal work stoppages since March&nbsp;1 and
April&nbsp;23, 2006, respectively, which caused us to cease operations in these underground mines and concentrators during these work stoppages. The San Mart&iacute;n mine resumed its
operations as of May&nbsp;16, 2006 and the Taxco mine resumed operations on April&nbsp;25, 2006. Additionally, our zinc refinery in San Luis Potos&iacute; has not been operating since
January&nbsp;5, 2006 due to technical disruptions. Repair work is being conducted on the zinc refinery which has resumed partial operations on June&nbsp;2, 2006 and is expected to be fully
operation by the end of the third quarter 2006. The San Luis Potos&iacute; zinc refinery is owned by Minera M&eacute;xico. See note&nbsp;I to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated
Combined Financial Statements contained in our 2006 First Quarter Form&nbsp;10-Q attached hereto as Annex C for additional information related to labor issues and work stoppages. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
June&nbsp;1, 2006, workers at the Cananea mine declared a strike and on June&nbsp;6, 2006, we declared force majeure on our June and July copper contracts. Despite an agreement
with the National Union of Mine, Metallurgical and Similar Workers of Mexico, workers at the Cananea mine have illegally blocked the entrance to the facilities since June&nbsp;14, 2006. The La
Cananea mine is owned by our subsidiary Mexicana de Cananea, S.A. de C.V., which has commenced appropriate legal actions before Mexican federal and local authorities. We do not believe this dispute
will be resolved in the near future. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Strategic transactions.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;From time to time, we consider various strategic transactions including potential acquisitions and
divestitures. In addition, our controlling shareholder has informed us that from time to time it may consider strategic transactions that may include divestitures of all or a part of their interest in
us. Any such transaction may result in an increase in our indebtedness or otherwise </FONT></P>

under this copper price protection program are not accounted for as hedges under SFAS No.&nbsp;133 and are adjusted to fair market value based on the
copper price as of the last day of the respective reporting period with the gain or loss recorded in total net sales. The actual impact of this protection program on our second and third quarter
copper production can not be fully determined until the maturity of each copper swap contract with final adjustments based on the average annual copper price. Based on current copper market prices as
of June&nbsp;16, 2006, we estimate unrealized losses after taxes of approximately U.S.$107.3&nbsp;million associated with our second and third quarter copper production. As a result of this copper
price protection program, we decided to change our accounting policy to recognize the fair market value of these financial instruments against our net sales. We believe that this income statement
classification reflects better the intention of this copper price protection program. Before the second quarter of 2006, the fair market value of our derivative instruments was accounted for in a
separate non-operating income statement line item. </FONT></P>

March&nbsp;31, 2006, compared with U.S.$30.43 per pound in the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2005. The average price for zinc on the LME in the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2006 was
U.S.$1.02 per pound compared with U.S.$0.60 per pound in the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2005. The average price for silver on COMEX was U.S.$9.70 per ounce in the three months ended
March&nbsp;31, 2006, compared with U.S.$6.99 per ounce in the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2005. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mine
copper production amounted to 354.0&nbsp;million pounds in the first quarter of 2006, a decrease of 0.7% compared with the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2005. This decrease
of 2.6&nbsp;million pounds included a decrease of 8.6&nbsp;million pounds from the Mexican open pit operations and a decrease of 2.2&nbsp;million pounds from the Mexican underground mines which
was offset by an increase of 8.2&nbsp;million pounds from the Peruvian open pit mines. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
decrease of 8.6&nbsp;million pounds in the production from the Mexican open pit mines was due to a decrease in ore milled, as a result of an illegal work stoppage at the La Caridad
mine, lower ore grade and recoveries and a decrease in SX-EW production due to lower quantities of PLS treated. The decrease of 2.2&nbsp;million pounds in the Mexican underground mines
was due to an illegal work stoppage in the San Mart&iacute;n mine which resulted in no production in March. The increase of 8.2&nbsp;million pounds from the Peruvian open pit mines was the
result of higher ore grades and recoveries in both the Cuajone and Toquepala mines, net of a decrease in SX/EW copper production due to lower PLS grade. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Molybdenum
production amounted to 7.6&nbsp;million pounds in the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2006, a decrease of 14.6% compared with the three months ended March&nbsp;31,
2005. This decrease of 1.3&nbsp;million pounds was the result of a decrease of 0.8&nbsp;million pounds in the Peruvian production, due to lower ore grades at the Toquepala and Cuajone units and a
decrease of 0.4&nbsp;million pounds in the La Caridad mine. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mine
zinc production amounted to 76.3&nbsp;million pounds in the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2006, a slight decrease from the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2005. In
January&nbsp;2006 an electrical fire at a power sub-station of our San Luis Potos&iacute; zinc refinery shut down operations. We expect to restore 50% of the production in the
second quarter of 2006 and the remaining 50% by the end of the third quarter. In the interim we are selling zinc concentrates. Due to a current shortage of zinc concentrates in the market we have been
able to receive favorable terms on these sales. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
cost of sales for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2006 was U.S.$406.9&nbsp;million compared with $389.6&nbsp;million for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2005, an
increase of 4.4%. This increase was principally the result of higher fuel and power cost, which increased U.S.$14.9&nbsp;million during this period and an increase of U.S.$5.4&nbsp;million in our
selling, general and administrative expenses, as well as a U.S.$1.4&nbsp;million increase in mining royalties. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
operating income for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2006 was U.S.$632.7&nbsp;million compared with U.S.$471.6&nbsp;million for the three months ended March&nbsp;31,
2005, an increase of 34.2%, due to the increase in our net sales. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
net earnings for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2006 were U.S.$421.6&nbsp;million, or earnings per share of U.S.$2.86, compared with U.S.$298.4&nbsp;million, or earnings
per share of U.S.$2.03, for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2005, an increase of 41.3%. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
January&nbsp;1, 2006 we adopted the EITF consensus 04-06 "Accounting for Stripping Costs Incurred During Production in the Mining Industry" which states that stripping
costs incurred during the production phase of a mine are variable production costs that should be included in the costs of the inventory produced (extracted) during the period that the stripping costs
are incurred. In connection with the adoption of this accounting principle, effective January&nbsp;1, 2006, we reversed U.S.$289.4&nbsp;million of net cumulative capitalized stripping cost as of
December&nbsp;31, 2005 and recorded a net charge of U.S.$181.3&nbsp;million to retained earnings after recognition of workers' participation and tax benefit of U.S.$108.1&nbsp;million. </FONT></P>

Directive 2004/109/EC of the European Parliament and Council, dated December 15, 2004, on the harmonization of transparency requirements for information about issuers whose securities are admitted to trading on an European Union regulated market
amended Directive 2001/34/EC (the "Transparency Directive") and became effective on January 20, 2005. It requires member states, including Luxembourg, to take measures necessary to comply with the Transparency Directive by January 20, 2007. If, as a
result of the Transparency Directive or any legislation implementing the Transparency Directive, we could be required to publish financial information either more regularly than we otherwise would be required to or according to accounting principles
which are materially different from the accounting principles which we would otherwise use to prepare our published financial information, we may delist the notes from the Luxembourg Stock Exchange in accordance with the rules of such exchange and
seek an alternative admission to listing, trading and/or quotation for the notes on a different section of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or by such other listing authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system inside or outside the European Union

is net earnings; plus cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, minority interest, income taxes, interest expense and depreciation, amortization and depletion; minus
interest income and interest capitalized. EBITDA is used as a measure of performance by our management and is not a measure of performance under generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. We
present EBITDA because we believe it provides management and investors with useful information by which to measure our performance. EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to (a)&nbsp;net
earnings as an indicator of our operating performance or (b)&nbsp;cash flow from our operating activities as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA also does not represent funds available for dividends,
reinvestment or other discretionary uses. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other

cash costs per pound of copper produced is an overall benchmark we use and a common industry metric to measure performance. Operating cash cost is a non-GAAP
measure that does not have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures provided by other companies. A reconciliation of our cash cost per pound to the cost of sales
(including depreciation, amortization and depletion) as presented in the statement of earnings is presented in our 2005 Form&nbsp;10-K/A and our 2006 First Quarter
Form&nbsp;10-Q. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market
Risk&#151;Non-GAAP Information Reconciliation" in our 2005 Form&nbsp;10-K/A and "Item 2&#151;Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations&#151;Non-GAAP Information Reconciliation" in our 2006 First Quarter Form&nbsp;10-Q. We have defined operating cash cost per pound as cost of
sales (including depreciation, amortization and depletion); plus administrative charges, treatment and refining charges, third party copper purchases; less byproduct revenue, depreciation,
amortization and depletion, workers' participation and inventory change. Operating cash costs also exclude the portion of our mine stripping costs that we capitalize. </FONT></DD></DL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The table below details our copper and molybdenum reserves as estimated at December&nbsp;31, 2005. Pursuant to SEC guidance, the reserves information in this
offering memorandum is calculated using average metals prices over the most recent three years, unless otherwise stated. We refer to these three-year average metals prices as "current
average prices." Our current average prices for copper are calculated using prices quoted by COMEX, and our current average prices for molybdenum are calculated according to Platts </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2><I>Metals Week</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>. Unless
otherwise stated, reserves estimates in this offering memorandum use U.S.$1.261 per pound for copper and U.S.$17.817 per pound for
molybdenum, both current average prices as of December&nbsp;31, 2005. The current average prices for copper and molybdenum were U.S.$0.939 and U.S.$8.425, respectively, as of December&nbsp;31,
2004 and U.S.$0.751 and U.S.$3.81, respectively, as of December&nbsp;31, 2003. For a further discussion of how we calculate our reserves, see "Presentation of Financial and Other
Information&#151;Reserves Information." </FONT></P>

<BR></FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>RISK FACTORS    <BR>    </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Risks Related to the Notes and the Exchange Offer  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>We are the sole obligor under the notes. None of ours subsidiaries will guarantee our obligations under the notes and they do not have any other
obligations with respect to the notes. The notes will be effectively subordinated to our existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing that indebtedness
and structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other obligations of our subsidiaries.</I></B></FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
notes are unsecured and are effectively subordinated to all of our existing and future senior secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such
indebtedness. The indenture in certain cases permits us to pledge assets without also securing the notes. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
derive a substantial portion of its revenue and cash flow from its subsidiaries. None of SCC's subsidiaries will guarantee these notes. Our subsidiaries are separate and distinct
legal entities and have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay any amounts due under the notes, or to make any funds available therefore, whether by dividend, distribution, loan or other
payments, and the consequent rights of holders of notes to realize proceeds from the sale of any of those subsidiaries' assets will be structurally subordinated to the claims of any subsidiary's
creditors, including trade creditors or holders of debt of those subsidiaries. As a result, the notes are structurally subordinated to the prior payment of all of the debts (including trade payables)
of our subsidiaries. As of May&nbsp;31, 2006, after giving effect to repurchases of our Minera M&eacute;xico subsidiary's Yankee bonds, the indebtedness of our subsidiaries that is
structurally senior to the notes was U.S.$281.8&nbsp;million. In addition, the limitations on the incurrence of subsidiary indebtedness provided for in the indenture are subject to significant
exceptions and will cease to be applicable entirely if the notes attain an investment grade rating. Any future subsidiary debt or obligation, whether or not secured, will have priority over the notes. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>The absence of a public market for the notes may affect the ability of bondholders to sell the notes in the future and may affect the price they would
receive if such sale were to occur.</I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Application
has been made for the notes to be admitted to listing on the EuroMTF section of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. The new notes will constitute a new issue of securities for
which, prior to the exchange offer, there has been no established trading market, and the new notes may not be widely distributed. The initial purchasers of the old notes are not obligated to make a
market in the notes. Accordingly, we cannot assure you as to the development or liquidity of any market for the new notes. If a market for any of the new notes does not develop, purchasers may be
unable to resell such new notes for an extended period of time, if at all. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
liquidity of and trading market for the new notes also may be adversely affected by a general decline in the market for similar securities. Such a decline may adversely affect our
liquidity and trading markets independent of our prospects of financial performance. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Failure to tender the old notes in the exchange offer may affect their marketability.</I></B></FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
the old notes are tendered for exchange and accepted in the exchange offer, the trading market, if any, for the untendered and tendered but not accepted old notes will be adversely
affected. The initial purchasers of the old notes are not obligated to make a market in the trading market for the old notes following the exchange offer. In addition, such market-making activity may
be limited during the pendency of the exchange offer. Your failure to participate in the exchange offer will substantially limit, and may effectively eliminate, opportunities to sell your old notes in
the future. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
issued the old notes in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Accordingly, you may not offer, sell or otherwise transfer your old notes
except in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities </FONT></P>

or pursuant to an exemption from the securities laws, or in a transaction not subject to the securities laws. If you do not exchange your old notes for new notes in the exchange offer, your old
notes will continue to be subject to these transfer restrictions after the completion of the exchange offer. In addition, after the completion of the exchange offer, you will no longer be able to
obligate us to register the old notes under the Securities Act. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>If you do not properly tender your old notes for new notes, you will continue to hold unregistered notes that are subject to transfer
restrictions.</I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
will only issue new notes in exchange for old notes that are timely received by the exchange agent together with all required documents. Therefore, you should allow sufficient time to
ensure timely delivery of the old notes and you should carefully follow the instructions on how to tender your old notes set forth under "The Exchange Offer&#151;Procedures for Tendering" and
in the letter of transmittal that you will receive with this prospectus. Neither we nor the exchange agent are required to tell you of any defects or irregularities with respect to your tender of the
old notes. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
you do not tender your old notes or if we do not accept your old notes because you did not tender your old notes properly, then you will continue to hold old notes that are subject to
the existing transfer restrictions. In addition, if you tender your old notes for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the new notes, you will be required to comply with the registration
and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the new notes. If you continue to hold any old notes after the exchange offer is completed, you may have
difficulty selling them because of the restrictions on transfer and because there will be fewer old notes outstanding. In addition, if a large amount of old notes are not tendered or are tendered
improperly, the limited
amount of new notes that would be issued and outstanding after we complete the exchange offer could lower the market price of the new notes. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We issued and sold the old notes in a private placement on May&nbsp;9, 2006. In connection with the issuance and sale, we entered into a registration rights
agreement with the initial purchasers of the old notes providing that we would, at our cost, (a)&nbsp;not later than 120&nbsp;days after the date of original issuance of the old notes,
file&nbsp;a registration statement with the SEC with respect to a registered offer to exchange the old notes for new notes having terms substantially identical in all material respects to the old
notes (except that the new notes will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions and the provisions regarding special interest would be eliminated) and (b)&nbsp;use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act not later than 180&nbsp;days after the date of original issuance of the old notes. Upon the
effectiveness of the registration statement, we would offer the new notes in exchange for surrender of the old notes. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
the event that (i)&nbsp;applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC do not permit us to effect such an exchange offer, (ii)&nbsp;for any other reason the registration
statement is not declared effective within 180&nbsp;days after the date of the original issuance of the old notes or the exchange offer is not consummated within 225&nbsp;days after the original
issuance of the old notes, (iii)&nbsp;the initial purchasers of the old notes so request with respect to old notes not eligible to be exchanged for new notes in the exchange offer or
(iv)&nbsp;upon our receiving notice in writing from any holder of notes (other than an initial purchaser of the old notes) that such holder is not eligible to participate in the exchange offer or
does not receive freely tradable new notes in the exchange offer other than by reason of such holder being an affiliate of ours (it being understood that the requirement that a participating
broker-dealer deliver this prospectus in connection with sales of new notes shall not result in such new notes being not "freely tradable"), we will, at our cost, (a)&nbsp;as promptly as
practicable, file&nbsp;a shelf registration statement covering resales of the old notes or the new notes, as the case may be, (b)&nbsp;use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the shelf
registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act and (c)&nbsp;use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the shelf registration statement effective until two years after its
effective date. We will, in the event a shelf registration statement is filed, among other things, provide to each holder for whom such shelf registration statement was filed copies of the prospectus
which is a part of the shelf registration statement, notify each such holder when the shelf registration statement has become effective and take certain other actions as are required to permit
unrestricted resales of the old notes or the new notes, as the case may be. A holder selling such notes pursuant to the shelf registration statement generally would be required to be named as a
selling security holder in the related prospectus and to deliver a prospectus to purchasers, will be subject to
certain of the civil liability provisions under the Securities Act in connection with such sales and will be bound by the provisions of the registration rights agreement which are applicable to such
holder (including certain indemnification obligations). </FONT></P>

addition, each participating broker-dealer that is not a restricted holder that receives new notes for its own account in exchange for old notes that it acquired as a result of
market-making activities or other trading activities may be a statutory underwriter and must acknowledge in the letter of transmittal that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the
Securities Act upon any resale of such new notes. This prospectus may be used by those participating broker-dealers to resell new notes they receive pursuant to the exchange offer. We have agreed
that, for a period of one year after the completion of the exchange offer, we will make this prospectus available to any participating broker-dealer for use by the participating broker-dealer in any
resale. By acceptance of this exchange offer, each broker-dealer that receives new notes under the exchange offer agrees to notify us prior to using this prospectus in a sale or transfer of new notes.

exchange all old notes validly tendered and not withdrawn before 5:00&nbsp;p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. We will issue U.S.$100,000 principal amount of new notes and integral
multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof, in exchange for each U.S.$100,000 principal amount of old notes and integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof accepted in the exchange offer. You
may tender some or all of your old notes pursuant to the exchange offer. However, old notes may be tendered only in a minimum principal amount of U.S.$100,000 and in integral multiples of U.S.$1,000
in excess thereof. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
new notes will be substantially identical to the old notes, except that: </FONT></P>

<BR><BR></FONT></DD><DT style='margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2>the
new notes will not be subject to transfer restrictions; and
<BR><BR></FONT></DD><DT style='margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2>the
new notes will be issued free of any covenants regarding registration rights and free of any provision for special interest. </FONT></DD></DL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
new notes will evidence the same debt as the old notes and will be issued under and be entitled to the benefits of the same indenture under which the old notes were issued. The old
notes and the new notes will be treated as a single series of debt securities under the indenture. For a description of the terms of the indenture and the new notes, see "Description of the Notes." </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
exchange offer is not conditioned upon any minimum aggregate principal amount of old notes being tendered for exchange. As of the date of this prospectus, an aggregate of
U.S.$400,000,000 principal amount of old 7.500% Notes due 2035 is outstanding. This prospectus is being sent to all registered holders of old notes. There will be no fixed record date for determining
registered holders of old notes entitled to participate in the exchange offer. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
intend to conduct the exchange offer in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Holders of old
notes do not have any appraisal or dissenters' rights under law or under the indenture in connection with the exchange offer. Old notes that are not tendered for exchange in the exchange offer will
remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest and will be entitled to the rights and benefits their holders have under the indenture relating to the old notes. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
will be deemed to have accepted for exchange validly tendered old notes when we have given oral or written notice of the acceptance to the exchange agent. The exchange agent will act
as agent for the tendering holders of old notes for the purposes of receiving the new notes from us and delivering the new notes to the tendering holders. Subject to the terms of the registration
rights agreement, we expressly reserve the right to amend or terminate the exchange offer, and not to accept for exchange any old notes not previously accepted for exchange, upon the occurrence of any
of the conditions specified below under "&#151;Conditions." All old notes accepted for exchange will be exchanged for new notes promptly following the expiration date. We will deliver to the
trustee for cancellation all old notes so accepted for exchange. If we decide for any reason to delay for any period our acceptance of any old notes for exchange, we will extend the expiration date
for the same period. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
we do not accept for exchange any tendered old notes because of an invalid tender, the occurrence of certain other events described in this prospectus or otherwise, such unaccepted
old notes will be returned, without expense, to the holder tendering them or the appropriate book-entry will be made, in each case, as promptly as practicable after the expiration date. </FONT></P>

on&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;, 2006, unless we, in our sole discretion, extend the exchange offer, in
which case the term "expiration date" shall mean the latest date and time to which the exchange offer is extended. The exchange offer will be open for not less than 30&nbsp;days (or longer if
required by applicable law) and not more than 45&nbsp;days after the date notice of the exchange offer is mailed to the holders of the notes. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If

of the amendment. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Only a registered holder of old notes may tender those notes in the exchange offer. To tender in the exchange offer, a holder must properly complete, sign and
date the letter of transmittal, have the signatures thereon guaranteed if required by the letter of transmittal, and mail or otherwise deliver such letter of transmittal, together with all other
documents required by the letter of transmittal, to the exchange agent at one of the addresses set forth below under "&#151;Exchange Agent," before 5:00&nbsp;p.m., New York City time, on the
expiration date. In addition, either: </FONT></P>

exchange agent must receive, before the expiration date, a timely confirmation of a book-entry transfer of the tendered old notes into the exchange agent's
account at The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, or the depositary, according to the procedure for book-entry transfer described below; or
<BR><BR></FONT></DD><DT style='margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2>the
holder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below. </FONT></DD></DL>
</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A
tender of old notes by a holder that is not withdrawn prior to the expiration date will constitute an agreement between that holder and us in accordance with the terms and subject to
the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
method of delivery of letters of transmittal and all other required documents to the exchange agent, including delivery through DTC, is at the holder's election and risk. Instead of
delivery by mail, we recommend that holders use an overnight or hand delivery service. If delivery is by mail, we recommend that holders use certified or registered mail, properly insured, with return
receipt requested. In all cases, holders should allow sufficient time to assure delivery to the exchange agent before the expiration date. Holders should not send letters of transmittal or other
required documents to us. Holders may request their respective brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies or other nominees to effect the above transactions for them. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any
beneficial owner whose old notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and who wishes to tender those notes should contact
the registered holder promptly and instruct it to tender on the beneficial owner's behalf. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
will determine, in our sole discretion, all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt), acceptance of tendered old notes and withdrawal of tendered
old notes, and our determination will be final and binding. We reserve the absolute right to reject any and all old notes not properly tendered or any old notes the acceptance of which would, in the
opinion of us or our counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the absolute right to waive any defects or irregularities or conditions of the exchange offer as to any particular old notes either before or
after the expiration date. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer as to any particular old notes either before or after the expiration date, including the instructions in
the letter of transmittal, will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of old notes for exchange must be cured within such time as
we shall determine. Although we intend to notify holders of any defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of old notes for exchange, neither we nor the exchange agent nor any other person
shall be under any duty to give such notification, nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give such notification. Tenders of old notes will not be deemed to have been made until all
defects or irregularities have been cured or waived. Any old notes delivered by book-entry transfer within DTC, will be credited to the account maintained within DTC by the participant in
DTC which delivered such old notes, unless otherwise provided in the letter of transmittal, as soon as practicable following the expiration date. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition, we reserve the right in our sole discretion (a)&nbsp;to purchase or make offers for any old notes that remain outstanding after the expiration date, (b)&nbsp;as set

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;By
signing, or otherwise becoming bound by, the letter of transmittal, each tendering holder of old notes (other than certain specified holders) will represent to us that it is acquiring
the new notes in the ordinary course of its business, that it has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the new notes and that it is not an affiliate of
us, as such terms are interpreted by the SEC. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
the tendering holder is a broker-dealer that will receive new notes for its own account in exchange for old notes that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other
trading activities, it may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. Any such holder will be required to acknowledge in the letter of transmittal that it will deliver
a prospectus in connection with any resale or transfer of these new notes. However, by so acknowledging and by delivering a
prospectus, the holder will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Book-Entry Transfer  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The exchange agent will establish a new account or utilize an existing account with respect to the old notes at DTC promptly after the date of this prospectus,
and any financial institution that is a participant in DTC's systems may make book-entry delivery of old notes by causing DTC to transfer these old notes into the exchange agent's account
in accordance with DTC's procedures for transfer. However, the exchange for the old notes so tendered will only be made after timely confirmation of this book-entry transfer of old notes
into the exchange agent's account, and timely receipt by the exchange agent of an agent's message and any other documents required by the letter of transmittal. The term "agent's message" means a
message transmitted by DTC to, and received by, the exchange agent and forming a part of a book-entry confirmation, that states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from a
participant in DTC tendering old notes that are the subject of the book-entry confirmation stating (1)&nbsp;the aggregate principal amount of old notes that have been tendered by such
participant, (2)&nbsp;that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal and (3)&nbsp;that we may enforce such agreement against the participant. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Although
delivery of old notes must be effected through book-entry transfer into the exchange agent's account at DTC, the letter of transmittal, properly completely and
validly executed, with any required signature guarantees, or an agent's message in lieu of the letter of transmittal, and any other required documents, must be delivered to and received by the
exchange agent at one of its addresses listed below under "&#151;Exchange Agent," before 5:00&nbsp;p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date, or the guaranteed delivery procedure
described below must be complied with. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Delivery
of documents to DTC in accordance with its procedures does not constitute delivery to the exchange agent. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We will bear all expenses of soliciting tenders. We have not retained any dealer-manager in connection with the exchange offer and will not make any payments to
brokers, dealers or others soliciting acceptance of the exchange offer. The principal solicitation is being made by mail; however, additional solicitation may be made by facsimile, telephone or in
person by our officers and employees. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
will pay the expenses to be incurred in connection with the exchange offer. These expenses include fees and expenses of the exchange agent and the trustee, accounting and legal fees,
printing costs, and related fees and expenses. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Transfer Taxes  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Holders who render their old notes for exchange will not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in connection with the exchange offer. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Accounting Treatment  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We will record the new notes in our accounting records at the same carrying values as the old notes on the date of the exchange. Accordingly, we will recognize no
gain or loss, for accounting purposes, as a result of the exchange offer. Expenses of the exchange offer will be incurred by us. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Holders of old notes who do not exchange their old notes for new notes pursuant to the exchange offer will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer
of the old notes as set forth in the legend printed thereon as a consequence of the issuance of the old notes pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. In
general, the old notes may not be offered or sold unless registered under the Securities Act, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws. Upon completion of the exchange offer, holders of old notes will not be entitled to any rights to have the resale of old notes registered under the Securities Act,
and we currently do not intend to register under the Securities Act the resale of any old notes that remain outstanding after completion of the exchange offer. </FONT></P>

participation in the exchange offer is voluntary, and you should carefully consider whether to participate. We urge you to consult your financial and tax advisors in making a

except for any rights under the registration rights agreement that by their terms end or cease to have further effectiveness as a result of the making of the exchange offer. To the extent that old
notes are tendered and accepted in the exchange offer, the trading market for untendered, or tendered but unaccepted, old notes could be adversely affected. Please refer to the section in this
prospectus entitled "Risk Factors&#151;Risks Related to the Notes and the Exchange Offer&#151;If you do not properly tender your old notes for new notes, you will continue to hold
unregistered notes that are subject to transfer restrictions." </FONT></P>

may in the future seek to acquire untendered old notes in open market or privately negotiated transactions, through subsequent exchange offers or otherwise. However, we have no

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Holders
of the old notes and new notes which remain outstanding after consummation of the exchange offer will vote together as a single class for purposes of determining whether holders

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Exchange Rates in Peru  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Since March&nbsp;1991, there have been no exchange controls in Peru and all foreign exchange transactions are based on free market exchange rates. During the
previous two decades, however, the Peruvian currency had experienced a significant number of large devaluations. Therefore, Peru has adopted and operated under various exchange rate control practices
and exchange rate determination policies. These policies have ranged from strict control over exchange rates to market-determination of rates. Investors are allowed to purchase foreign currency at
free market exchange rates through any member of the Peruvian banking system. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
following table shows, for the periods and dates indicated, the period-end, average, high and low exchange rates for U.S. dollars, as published by the </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2><I>Banco Central de Reserva del Peru</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> (Central Reserve
Bank of Peru, or BCRP) expressed in nuevos soles per U.S. dollar. The Federal Reserve Bank of New
York does not report a noon buying rate for nuevos soles. The information in this table reflects Peruvian nuevos soles at historical values rather than in constant Peruvian nuevos soles. The high and
low exchange rates provided in the table are the highest and lowest of the twelve month-end exchange rates for each year based on the BCRP exchange rate. The average rate is in each case
the average of month-end exchange rates during such period. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Exchange Rates in Mexico  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On December&nbsp;21, 1994, Banco de M&eacute;xico implemented a floating foreign exchange rate regime under which the peso is allowed to float freely
against the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies. Banco de M&eacute;xico has indicated it will intervene directly in the foreign exchange market only to reduce what it deems to be
excessive short-term volatility. Since mid-2003, Banco de M&eacute;xico has been conducting auctions of U.S. dollars in an attempt to reduce the levels of its foreign
reserves. Banco de M&eacute;xico conducts open market operations on a regular basis to determine the size of Mexico's monetary base. Changes in Mexico's monetary base have an impact on the
exchange rate. Banco de M&eacute;xico may increase or decrease the reserve of funds that financial institutions are required to maintain. If the reserve requirement is increased, financial
institutions will be required to allocate more funds to their reserves, which will reduce the amount of funds available for operations. This causes the amount of available funds in the market to
decrease and the cost, or interest rate, to obtain funds to increase. The opposite happens if reserve requirements are lowered. This mechanism, known as "corto" or "largo," as the case may be, or more
formally "the daily settlement balance target," represents a device used by Banco de M&eacute;xico to adjust the level of interest and foreign exchange rates. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
cannot assure you, however, that Banco de M&eacute;xico will maintain its current policies with respect to the peso or that the peso will not depreciate significantly in the

case in the past. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Banco
de M&eacute;xico has provided for risk management and hedging mechanisms against fluctuations in the peso to dollar exchange rate. Banco de M&eacute;xico allows
Mexican banks and brokerage houses to participate in futures markets for the peso and to conduct derivative transactions that are intended to hedge against currency fluctuations. In April&nbsp;1995,
the Chicago Mercantile Exchange introduced peso futures contracts and options on peso futures contracts and started trading these options and futures. On December&nbsp;18, 1998, trading started at
the Mexican Derivatives Exchange, including peso futures contracts. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
the event of shortages of foreign currency, we cannot assure you that foreign currency would continue to be available to private-sector companies in Mexico or that foreign currency
needed by us to service foreign currency obligations would continue to be available without substantial additional cost. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The old notes were issued and the new notes will be issued under an indenture, dated July&nbsp;27, 2005, as amended or supplemented through the expiration date
(the "Indenture"), between the Issuer and The Bank of New York, as Trustee (the "Trustee," which term includes any successor as Trustee under the Indenture). The old notes together with the new notes
are referred to as the notes. In this description, the term "Issuer" refers only to Southern Copper Corporation and not to any of its subsidiaries. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
July&nbsp;27, 2005, the Issuer issued U.S.$600&nbsp;million aggregate principal amount of its 7.500% notes due 2035 under the Indenture and pursuant to an exchange offer which
expired on January&nbsp;3, 2006, U.S.$590.5&nbsp;million in aggregate principal amount of such notes were exchanged for notes registered under the Securities Act. On May&nbsp;4, 2006, the Issuer
issued an additional U.S.$400&nbsp;million aggregate principal amount of its 7.500% notes due 2035 under the Indenture. The notes previously issued under the Indenture and the notes offered hereby
will be treated as a single series of notes under the Indenture, including for purposes of waivers and amendments. For purposes of this description, unless the context indicates otherwise, references
to the "notes" includes the 7.500% notes due 2035 offered on July&nbsp;27, 2005 and the registered notes exchanged for such notes. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
following summaries of certain provisions of the notes, the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in
their entirety by reference to, all the terms and conditions of the notes, the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement, including the definitions therein of certain terms. Copies of the
Indenture and Registration Rights Agreement are available at the Issuer's principal executive offices, as well as at the offices of the Trustee, Registrar, Paying Agent and Transfer Agent, and at the
offices of the Luxembourg Listing Agent, Paying Agent and Transfer Agent, each as defined in the Indenture. As used herein, the term "Holder" or "Noteholder" means the person in whose name a note of
either series is registered in the register (the "Register") which the Issuer shall cause the registrar to maintain for each series of notes. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>General  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The old notes and the new notes, which together with the 7.500% notes due 2035 issued on July&nbsp;27, 2005 and the registered notes exchanged for such notes
are referred to in this prospectus as the "notes," will constitute a single series of notes under the Indenture. If the exchange offer described under "The Exchange Offer" is consummated, holders of
old notes who do not exchange their old notes for new notes will vote together as a single series of notes with holders of the new notes of the series for all relevant purposes under the Indenture. In
that regard, the Indenture requires that certain actions by the holders under the notes (including acceleration following an event of default) must be taken, and certain rights must be exercised, by
specified minimum percentages of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes. In determining whether holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount have given any notice, consent
or waiver or taken any other action permitted under the Indenture, any old notes which remain outstanding after the exchange offer will be aggregated with the new notes of the relevant series and the
holders of the old notes and new notes will vote together as a single series for all purposes. Accordingly, all references in this prospectus to specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of
the outstanding notes will be deemed to mean, at any time after the exchange offer is consummated, the percentages in aggregate principal amount of the old notes and the new notes then outstanding. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
terms of the old notes are identical in all material respects to those of the new notes, except that (1)&nbsp;the old notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and
are subject to certain restrictions on transfer, (2)&nbsp;are entitled to certain rights under the registration rights agreement (which rights will terminate upon consummation of the exchange offer,
except under limited circumstances), and (3)&nbsp;the new notes will not provide for any additional interest as a result of our failure to fulfill certain registration obligations. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
notes are general unsecured and unconditional obligations of the Issuer. The notes, at all times, rank </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>pari passu</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> in right of payment
among themselves and at least equally with all other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer. The Issuer is entitled, without the consent of the Holders, to issue
additional notes of either series under the Indenture on the same terms and conditions and with the same CUSIP number as the notes being offered hereby in an unlimited aggregate principal amount (the
"Additional Notes"). The notes and the Additional Notes of each series, if any, will be treated as a single class for all purposes of the Indenture, including waivers and amendments. Unless the
context otherwise requires, for all purposes of the Indenture and this "Description of the Notes," references to the notes include any Additional Notes actually issued. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
notes bear interest at the rate per annum shown on the front cover of this prospectus from the later of July&nbsp;27, 2006 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date on which
interest has been paid or provided for, payable semi-annually, in arrears, on January&nbsp;27 and July&nbsp;27 of each year, commencing July&nbsp;27, 2006, to the person in whose
name such note (or any predecessor note) is
registered at the close of business on the preceding January&nbsp;15 or July&nbsp;15, as the case may be. Interest on the notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months. The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the notes plus 1%. The notes will mature on July&nbsp;27, 2035. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any interest which is payable, but which is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date ("Defaulted Interest") shall cease to be
payable to the Holder registered on such date, and shall be payable, at the election of the Issuer, either (i)&nbsp;to the person in whose name such note is registered at the close of business on a
special record date to be fixed by the Trustee not more than 15 nor less than 10&nbsp;days prior to the date fixed by the Issuer for payment thereof or (ii)&nbsp;in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the rules of any applicable securities exchange if deemed practicable by the Trustee. You should refer to the description under the heading "The Exchange Offer" for a more detailed
description of the circumstances under which the interest rate will increase. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Although
the Indenture limits the amount of indebtedness that can be incurred by the Issuer's Subsidiaries, such limitation is subject to significant exceptions. The Indenture does not
limit the amount of indebtedness or other obligations that may be incurred by the Issuer. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Methods of Receiving Payments on the Notes  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Payments on the notes may be made, in the case of a Holder of U.S.$10&nbsp;million or more in aggregate principal amount of notes, by wire transfer to a U.S.
dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving notice to the Issuer to such effect respecting such account no later
than 30&nbsp;days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment. All other payments on the notes will be made at the office or agency of the paying agent and registrar within the City and
State of New York in the U.S. or at the office of the Paying Agent in Luxembourg unless the Issuer elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the Holders at their address set forth in the
Register. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
any payment in respect of a note is due on a day that is not at any place of payment a Business Day then, at each such place of payment, such payment need not be made on such day but
may be made on the next succeeding day that is at such place of payment a Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on the date for such payment, and no interest will accrue for the
period from and after such date. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Trustee will initially act as paying agent and registrar. The Bank of New York (Luxembourg) S.A. will initially act as Paying Agent and Transfer Agent in

the Trustee will be responsible for, among other things, (i)&nbsp;maintaining a record of the aggregate holdings of new notes represented by the global notes and accepting new notes for
exchange and registration of transfer, (ii)&nbsp;ensuring that payments of principal (including cash in the case of a cash redemption by the Issuer) and interest in respect of the new notes received
by the Trustee from the Issuer are duly paid to DTC or its nominee and (iii)&nbsp;transmitting to the Issuer any notices from Noteholders. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
new notes will be issued in book-entry form in minimum denominations of U.S.$100,000 and integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof. The new notes will initially
be issued in the form of one or more global notes in definitive, fully registered book-entry form, without interest coupons, that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, the depositary or
its nominee. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of new notes, but the Issuer or Trustee or other agent may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Global Notes  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon the issuance of the global notes, DTC or its custodian will credit, on its internal system, the respective principal amount of the individual beneficial
interests represented by such global note to the accounts of persons who have accounts with DTC. Such accounts initially were designated by or on behalf of the initial purchasers of the old notes.
Ownership of beneficial interests in a global note will be limited to persons who have accounts with DTC ("DTC Participants") or persons who hold interests through DTC Participants. Ownership of
beneficial interests in the global notes will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC or its nominee
(with respect to interests of DTC Participants) and the records of DTC Participants (with respect to interests of persons other than DTC Participants). </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So
long as DTC, or its nominee, is the registered owner or Holder of such global note, DTC or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or Holder of the notes
represented by such global note for all purposes under the Indenture and the notes. Unless DTC notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for a global note or ceases
to be a "clearing agency" registered under the Exchange Act, or the Issuer elects to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC or a successor depository, or an
Event of Default (as defined above) has occurred and is continuing with respect to such note, owners of beneficial interests in a global note will not be entitled to have any portion of such global
note registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of notes in certificated form and will not be considered to be the owners or Holders of any notes under the
Indenture or the notes. In addition, no beneficial owner of an interest in a global note will be able to transfer that interest except in accordance with DTC's or its participant's applicable
procedures. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Payments
of the principal and interest on individual notes represented by a global note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee will be made to DTC or its nominee, as the case may
be, as the registered owner of the global note representing such notes. None of the Issuer, the Trustee or any Paying Agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records
relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the global note or for maintaining, supervising, or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.
The Issuer expects that DTC or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal or interest in respect of a global note representing any notes held by it or its nominee, will immediately credit
DTC Participants' accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of such global note as shown on the records of DTC or its nominee.
The Issuer also expects that payments by DTC Participants to owners of beneficial interests in such global note held through such DTC Participants will be governed by standing instructions and
customary practices, as is now the </FONT></P>

with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in the names of nominees for such customers. Such payments will be the responsibility of such DTC Participants. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Transfers
between DTC Participants will be effected in accordance with DTC rules and procedures and will be settled in same-day funds. Transfers between participants in
Euroclear and Clearstream will be effected in accordance with their respective rules and procedures. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
laws of some states require that certain persons take physical delivery of securities in definitive form. Consequently, the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a global note
to such persons may be limited because DTC can only act on behalf of DTC Participants, who in turn act on behalf of indirect participants and certain banks. Accordingly, the ability of a person having
a beneficial interest in a global note to pledge such interest to persons or entities that do not participate in the DTC system, or
otherwise take actions in respect of each interest, may be affected by the lack of a physical certificate for such interest. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject
to compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the old notes, cross-market transfers between DTC, on the one hand, and directly or indirectly through Euroclear or
Clearstream participants, on the other, will be effected in DTC in accordance with DTC rules and procedures on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by its respective depositary;
however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by the counterparty in such system in accordance with its rules and
procedures and within its established deadlines (Brussels, Belgium time). Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions
to its respective depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving interests in the global note in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with
normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Euroclear participants and Clearstream participants may not deliver instructions directly to the depositaries for
Euroclear or Clearstream. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Because
of time zone differences, the securities account of a Euroclear or Clearstream participant purchasing an interest in a global note from a DTC Participant will be credited during
the securities settlement processing day (which must be a business day for Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be) immediately following the DTC settlement date, and the credit of any
transactions in interests in a global note settled during such processing will be reported to the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream participant on such day. Cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream
as a result of sales of interests in a global note by or through a Euroclear or Clearstream participant to a DTC Participant will be received with value on the DTC settlement date but will be
available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream cash account only as of the business day following settlement in DTC. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
order to insure the availability of Rule&nbsp;144(k) under the Securities Act, the purchase agreement in connection with the old notes provides that any notes which are purchased or
otherwise acquired by the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries may not be resold or otherwise transferred. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;DTC
has advised the Issuer that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a Holder of notes (including, without limitation, the presentation of notes for transfer, exchange or

aggregate principal amount of the notes as to which such Participant or Participants has or have given such direction. However, in the limited circumstances described herein, DTC will exchange the
global note for certificated notes in definitive form, which it will distribute to DTC Participants. See "&#151;Certificated Notes." </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;DTC

Fully registered global note will be issued for the notes, in the aggregate principal amount of the issue, and will be deposited with DTC. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;DTC
is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve
System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section&nbsp;17A of the Exchange Act.
DTC holds securities that its participants deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among participants of securities transactions, including transfers and pledges, in deposited securities
through electronic computerized book-entry changes to participants' accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of notes certificates. Direct participants of DTC include
securities brokers and dealers, including the initial purchasers of the old notes, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a number of its direct
participants and by the New York Stock Exchange,&nbsp;Inc., the American Stock Exchange,&nbsp;Inc., and the National Association of Securities Dealers,&nbsp;Inc. Access to DTC's system is also
available to indirect participants, which includes securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant, either
directly or indirectly. The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the SEC. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To
facilitate subsequent transfers, all global notes representing the notes which are deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC are registered in the name of DTC's nominee, Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co.
The deposit of global notes with, or on behalf of, DTC and their registration in the name of Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. effect no change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial
owners of the global notes representing the notes; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts the notes are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial
owners. The participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Conveyance
of notices and other communications by DTC to direct participants, by direct participants to indirect participants, and by direct and indirect participants to beneficial
owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Neither
DTC nor Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. will consent or vote with respect to the global notes representing the notes. Under its usual procedure, DTC mails an omnibus proxy to the Issuer as
soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co.' s consenting or voting rights to those direct participants to whose accounts the notes are credited on the record
date (identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy). </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;DTC
may discontinue providing its services as securities depositary with respect to the notes at any time by giving reasonable notice to the Issuer or the Trustee. Under such
circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depositary is not obtained, certificated notes are required to be printed and delivered. See "&#151;Certificated Notes." </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC or a successor securities depositary. In that event, certificated notes will be
printed and delivered. See "&#151;Certificated Notes." </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Although
DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream have agreed to the procedures described above in order to facilitate transfers of interests in the global Notes among participants of DTC,
Euroclear and Clearstream, they are under no obligation to perform or continue to perform these procedures, and these procedures may be discontinued at any time. Neither the Trustee nor the Issuer
will have any liability or responsibility for the performance by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream or their respective participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules
and procedures governing their operations. </FONT></P>

is not appointed by the Issuer within 90&nbsp;days, the Issuer elects to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC or a successor securities depository, or an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the notes, the Issuer will issue individual definitive notes, having the same maturity date and the same terms and conditions and of
differing authorized denominations which will have the same aggregate principal amount, in registered form in exchange for the global notes. Upon any exchange for certificated notes, the certificated
notes shall be registered in the names of the beneficial owners of the global notes representing the notes, which names shall be provided by DTC's relevant participants (as identified by DTC) to the
Trustee. </FONT></P>

Holder of a definitive note may transfer such note by surrendering it at the office or agency maintained by the Issuer for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Neither
the Trustee nor any Registrar or Transfer Agent shall be required to register the transfer of or exchange definitive notes for a period from the record date to the due date for

authenticate and deliver a new note, of like tenor (including the same date of issuance) and equal principal amount, registered in the same manner, and bearing interest from the date to which interest
has been paid on such note, in exchange and substitution for such note (upon surrender and cancellation thereof) or in lieu of and substitution for such note. In the event that such note is destroyed,
lost or stolen, the applicant for a substitute note shall furnish to the Issuer and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them harmless, and, in every case
of destruction, loss or theft of such note, the applicant shall also furnish to the Issuer and the Trustee satisfactory evidence of the destruction, loss or theft of such note and of the ownership
thereof. Upon the issuance of any substituted note, the Issuer may require the payment by the registered holder thereof of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in relation thereto and any other fees and expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the new notes and the exchange of
old notes for new notes. It deals only with purchasers that acquire and hold the notes as capital assets and does not deal with special situations, such as those of dealers in securities or
currencies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, tax exempt entities, financial institutions, insurance companies, persons holding the notes as a part of a hedging or
conversion transaction or a straddle, or investors whose "functional currency" is not the U.S. dollar. This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),
administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and Treasury Regulations, changes to any of which subsequent to the date of this prospectus may affect the tax consequences described herein, possibly
with retroactive effect. Persons considering the purchase or exchange of notes should consult their own tax advisors concerning the federal income tax consequences of holding the notes in light of
their particular situations as well as any consequences arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction. The tax consequences of any Additional Notes may differ from the tax consequences
described herein. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
used herein, the term "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of the notes who or which is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a citizen or resident of the United States, a
corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof (including the District of Columbia), or an estate or trust treated as a U.S. person under
section&nbsp;7701(a)(30) of the Code. The term "Non-U.S. Holder" means any beneficial owner of the notes that is not a U.S. Holder. If an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal
income tax purposes holds the notes, the tax treatment of such entity and each partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Such entities and
partners in such entities should consult their tax advisors. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I> Exchange of Notes  </I></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The exchange of the old notes for the new notes in the exchange offer will not be a taxable exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, accordingly, for
such purposes a U.S. holder will not recognize any taxable gain or loss as a result of such exchange and will have the same tax basis and holding period in the new notes as it had in the old notes
immediately before the exchange. </FONT></P>

<UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I> Interest  </I></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Interest on the new notes will be taxed to a U.S. Holder as ordinary interest income at the time it accrues or is received, in accordance with the U.S. Holder's
regular method of accounting for federal income tax purposes. </FONT></P>

<UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I> Amortizable Note Premium  </I></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If a U.S. Holder purchases a note in a secondary market transaction for an amount in excess of, in general, the bond's principal amount, such U.S. Holder will be
considered to have purchased such note with "amortizable note premium" equal in amount to such excess. Generally, a U.S. Holder may elect to amortize such premium as an offset to interest income,
using a constant yield method. The premium amortization is calculated assuming that we will exercise redemption rights in a manner that maximizes the U.S. Holder's yield. A U.S. Holder that elects to
amortize note premium must reduce its tax basis in the note by the amount of the premium used to offset interest income as set forth above. An election to amortize note premium applies to all taxable
debt obligations held during or after the taxable year for which the election is made and may be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I> Market Discount  </I></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If a U.S. Holder acquires a note in a secondary market transaction for an amount that is less than, in general, the bond's principal amount, the amount of such
difference is treated as "market discount" for federal income tax purposes, unless such difference is considered to be </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>de minimis</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> as described in
section&nbsp;1278(a)(2)(C) of the Code. Under the market discount rules of the Code, a U.S. Holder is required to treat any principal payment on, or any gain on the sale, exchange, retirement or
other disposition of, a note as ordinary income to the extent of the accrued market discount that has not previously been included in income. In general, the amount of market discount that has accrued
is determined on a ratable basis although in certain circumstances an election may be made to accrue market discount on a constant interest basis. A U.S. Holder may not be allowed to deduct
immediately a portion of the interest expense on any indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or to carry notes with market discount. A U.S. Holder may elect to include market discount in income
currently as it accrues, in which case the interest deferral rule set forth in the preceding sentence will not apply. Such an election will apply to all debt instruments acquired by the U.S. Holder on
or after the first day of the first taxable year to which such election applies and is irrevocable without the consent of the IRS. A U.S. Holder's tax basis in a note will be increased by the amount
of market discount included in such U.S. Holder's income under such election. U.S. Holders of notes with market discount are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the tax consequences of ownership
and disposition of the notes. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I> Disposition of Notes  </I></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A U.S. Holder who disposes of a note by sale, exchange for other property (other than the registered notes, as contemplated in "The Exchange Offer") or payment by
us, generally will recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale or other disposition (not including any amount attributable to accrued but unpaid
interest) and the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the bond. Any amount attributable to accrued but unpaid interest will be treated as a payment of interest and taxed in the manner described above
under "&#151;U.S. Holders&#151;Interest." Any amount attributable to accrued market discount that has not previously been included in income will be taxed in the manner described above
under "&#151;U.S. Holders&#151;Market Discount." In general, the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in a note will be equal to the purchase price of the note paid by the U.S. Holder
(excluding any amount attributable to accrued but unpaid interest) increased by the amount of market discount previously included in the U.S. Holder's income with respect to the note and reduced by
any note premium used to offset interest income as described above under "&#151;U.S. Holders&#151;Amortizable Note Premium." </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gain
or loss realized on the sale, exchange or retirement of a note generally will be capital gain or loss (subject to the market discount rules described above under "&#151;U.S.
Holders&#151;Market Discount"), and will be long-term capital gain or loss if
at the time of sale, exchange or retirement the note has been held for more than one year. For individuals, the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term
capital losses generally is taxed at a lower rate than ordinary income. The distinction between capital gain or loss and ordinary income or loss is also relevant for purposes of, among other things,
limitations on the deductibility of capital losses. </FONT></P>

exempt from U.S. federal withholding tax only to the extent the interest payments are ratably allocable to the gross income of those trades or businesses. Currently, almost all of our gross income
is from trades and or businesses actively carried on outside the United States. There can be no assurance, however, that this will continue to be the case. If we failed to meet the 80&nbsp;percent
requirement, interest payments would be treated as U.S. source, and we or a withholding agent would have to withhold U.S. federal withholding tax from the gross amount of any interest payment paid to

a Non-U.S. Holder is engaged in a trade or business in the United States, and if interest on a note is effectively connected with the conduct of such trade or business,
the Non-U.S. Holder, although exempt from withholding of federal income tax, will generally be subject to regular federal income tax on such interest in the same manner as if such holder
were a U.S. Holder. In lieu of providing an IRS Form&nbsp;W-8BEN, such a Non-U.S. Holder will be required to provide the withholding agent with a properly executed IRS
Form&nbsp;W-8ECI in order to claim an exemption from withholding. In addition, if such Non-U.S. Holder is a foreign corporation, it may be subject to branch profits tax equal
to 30%, or such lower rate as may be provided by an applicable treaty, of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, subject to certain adjustments. </FONT></P>

Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to federal income tax on any gain realized on the sale, exchange or disposition of a note (except to the extent that such gain is
attributable to accrued but unpaid interest) unless the gain is effectively connected with such holder's trade or business in the United States or, if the holder is an individual, such holder is
present in the United States for 183&nbsp;days or more in the taxable year of the sale, exchange or disposition and certain other conditions are met. The branch profits tax described above may apply

sales before maturity by, certain non-corporate U.S. Holders. In addition, backup withholding is required unless a U.S. Holder furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number (which for
an individual is the Social Security Number) and certifies, under penalties of perjury, that he or she is not subject to backup withholding on an IRS Form&nbsp;W-9 and
otherwise complies with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. The current rate of backup withholding is 28% of the amount paid. Backup withholding does not apply with respect to
payments made to certain exempt recipients, such as corporations and tax-exempt organizations. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a credit against
the U.S. Holder's federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS. </FONT></P>

Non-U.S. Holder status. However, information reporting on IRS Form&nbsp;1042-S will generally apply to payments of interest made on the notes. Information reporting will also
apply to payments made within the United States on the sale, exchange (other than an exchange of a note for a registered bond), redemption, retirement or other disposition of a bond. Information
reporting may apply to payments made outside the United States on the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other disposition of a bond, if payment is made by a payor that is, for federal income

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The profits from our foreign operations are the sole source of the interest payments made on our notes. We carry on substantial mining activities in Peru through
a registered branch. A registered branch is not a separate entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but is treated as a separate entity
for Peruvian income tax purposes. Our controlling stockholder is a Mexican corporation. Decisions affecting our operations are made in Mexico and Peru. We have received opinions from Peruvian and
Mexican counsel that no withholding taxes in either jurisdiction will apply to interest payments we make on the notes. However, we can provide no assurance that the Peruvian and Mexican taxing
authorities will not take a different position, or that the withholding tax rules will not change in the future. If a withholding tax were applied by Peruvian or Mexican authorities on payments we
made to a Holder of our notes, we would be obligated to withhold the required amount, and we would be under no obligation to pay any additional amounts so that the net amount such Holder received
would be the amount specified in the note. The amount of the interest payment received by such Holder would therefore be reduced. </FONT></P>

Section&nbsp;3(a)(5) of the Exchange Act, these requirements do not affect you. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each
participating broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account in connection with the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with
any resale of the new notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a participating broker-dealer in connection with resales of new notes received in
exchange for old notes where the old notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that we will furnish at least one copy of this prospectus,
as amended or supplemented, to any participating broker-dealer, and if the participating broker-dealer so requests in writing, all materials incorporated by reference in the prospectus and all
exhibits thereto for use in connection with any such resale. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
will not receive any proceeds from any sale of new notes by participating broker-dealers or any other holder of new notes. New notes received by participating broker-dealers for their
own account under the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing
of options on the new notes or a combination of these methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to the prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.
Any resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any of these broker-dealers and/or the
purchasers of any such new notes. Any participating broker-dealer that resells new notes that were received by it for its own account in the exchange offer or participates in a distribution of the new
notes may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on their resale of new notes and any commissions or concessions received by them may be deemed to be
underwriting
compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that by acknowledging that it will deliver a prospectus and by delivering a prospectus, a participating broker-dealer will not
be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
new notes will constitute a new issue of securities with no established trading market. Application has been made to list the new notes on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. No assurance
can be given that an active public or other market will develop for the new notes or as to the liquidity of or the trading market for the new notes. If a trading market does not develop or is not
maintained, holders of the new notes may experience difficulty in reselling the new notes or may be unable to sell them at all. If a market for the new notes develops, any such market may cease to
continue at any time. In addition, if a market for the new notes develops, the market prices of the new notes may be volatile. Factors such as fluctuations in our earnings and cash flow, the
difference between our actual results and results expected by investors and analysts and Mexican, Peruvian and U.S. currency and economic developments could cause the market prices of the new notes to
fluctuate substantially. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For
a period of one year after the expiration date, we will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any participating
broker-dealer that requests these documents in the letter of transmittal. We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer, including the reasonable expenses of one counsel for the
holders of the old notes, other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers. In addition, we will indemnify the holders of the old notes (including any broker-dealers) against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. </FONT></P>

PricewaterhouseCoopers, S.C. is a member of the Mexican Institute of Public Accountants. With respect to the unaudited consolidated combined financial information for the three month periods ended
March&nbsp;31, 2005 and 2006, attached as an exhibit to this prospectus in our Quarterly Report on Form&nbsp;10-Q for the quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2006, PricewaterhouseCoopers,
S.C. reported that they have applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information. However, their separate report dated May&nbsp;2, 2005, attached as
an exhibit to this prospectus in our Form&nbsp;10-Q for the quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2006, states that they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that unaudited
combined financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied.
PricewaterhouseCoopers, S.C. is not subject to the liability provisions of Section&nbsp;11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their report on the unaudited consolidated financial information because
that report is not a "report" or a "part" of the registration statement prepared or certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers, S.C. within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act. </FONT></P>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On Sunday, February&nbsp;19,
2006, at about 2:00 am, a gas explosion occurred at our Pasta de Conchos coal
mine, located in the San Juan Sabinas municipality, in the state of Coahuila,
Mexico. The explosion caused a cave-in at three of the main tunnels leading
into the mine. Initially 11 of our miners were rescued, some with minor
injuries and some unharmed. Regrettably, 65 of our miners remained trapped. Our
crews, with assistance from the Mexican army, regional industry and support
from the government of Coahuila, worked around the clock to reach and rescue
our men. As work progressed, the build up of methane gas made it apparent that
any chance of our men remaining alive was hopeless. Commencing on Saturday, February&nbsp;25
our efforts have been redefined as a mission to recover the bodies of our men
so that their families can have the solace of proper burial. We honor the
memory of these men &#150;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We are a leading
integrated producer of copper, molybdenum, zinc and silver. All of our mining,
smelting and refining facilities are located in Peru and in Mexico and we
conduct exploration activities in those countries and Chile. See &#147;Review of
Operations&#148; for maps of our principal mines, smelting facilities and refineries.
Our operations make us the largest mining company in Peru and also in Mexico. We
are the largest publicly traded copper mining company in the world based on
reserves and the fifth largest copper mining company in the world based on 2004
sales. We were incorporated in Delaware in 1952 and have conducted copper
mining operations since 1960. Since 1996, our common stock has been listed on
both the New York Stock Exchange and the Lima Stock Exchange.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our Peruvian copper
operations involve mining, milling and flotation of copper ore to produce
copper concentrates and molybdenum concentrates; the smelting of copper
concentrates to produce blister copper and beginning in the first quarter of 2006
copper anodes; and the refining of blister copper/anode copper to produce
copper cathodes. As part&nbsp;of this production process, we also produce
significant amounts of molybdenum and silver. We also produce refined copper
using SX/EW technology. We operate the Toquepala </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our Mexican operations
are conducted through our subsidiary, Minera M&#233;xico S.A. de C.V. (&#147;Minera
Mexico&#148;), which we acquired on April&nbsp;1, 2005. Minera M&#233;xico engages
principally in the mining and processing of copper, zinc, silver, gold, lead
and molybdenum. Minera M&#233;xico operates through subsidiaries that are grouped
into three separate units. Mexicana de Cobre S.A. de C.V. (together with its
subsidiaries, the &#147;Mexcobre Unit&#148;) operates an open-pit copper mine, a copper
ore concentrator, a SX/EW plant, a smelter, refinery and rod plant. Mexicana de
Cananea S.A. de C.V. (together with its subsidiaries, the &#147;Cananea Unit&#148;)
operates an open-pit copper mine, which is located at the site of one of the
world&#146;s largest copper ore deposits, a copper concentrator and two SX/EW plants.
Industrial Minera M&#233;xico, S.A. de C.V. (&#147;Immsa&#148;) and Minerales Met&#225;licos del
Norte, S.A. (together with Immsa and its subsidiaries, the &#147;Immsa Unit&#148;)
operate five underground mines that produce zinc, lead, copper, silver and
gold, a coal and coke mine and several industrial processing facilities for
zinc and copper.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We utilize many
up-to-date mining and processing methods, including global positioning systems
and computerized mining operations. Our operations have a high level of
vertical integration that allows us to manage the entire production process,
from the mining of the ore to the production of refined copper and other
products and most related transport and logistics functions, using our own facilities,
employees and equipment.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The sales prices for our
products are largely determined by market forces outside of our control. For
additional information on the pricing of the metals we produce, please see &#147;Metal
prices&#148;. Our management, therefore, focuses on cost control and production
enhancement to improve profitability. We achieve these goals through capital
spending programs, exploration efforts and cost reduction programs. Our focus
is on seeking to remain profitable during periods of low copper prices and
maximizing results in periods of high copper prices.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Copper is the world&#146;s third most widely used metal and
an important component in the world&#146;s infrastructure. Copper has unique
chemical and physical properties, including high electrical conductivity and
resistance to corrosion, as well as excellent malleability and ductility that
has made it a superior material for use in the electrical energy,
telecommunications, building construction, transportation and industrial
machinery businesses. Copper is also an important metal in non-electrical
applications such as plumbing, roofing and, when alloyed with zinc to form&nbsp;brass,
in many industrial and consumer applications.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Copper industry fundamentals,
including copper demand, price levels and stocks, strengthened in late 2003 and
copper prices have continued to improve in 2004 and 2005 from the 15-year price
lows set during 2002.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our Company operates in a
single industry, the copper industry. With the acquisition of Minera Mexico in April&nbsp;2005,
we determined that to effectively manage our business we needed to focus on
three operating components or segments. These segments are our Peruvian
operations, our Mexican open-pit operations and our Mexican underground
operations, known as our IMMSA unit. Our Peruvian operations include the
Toquepala and Cuajone mine complexes and the smelting and refining plants,
industrial railroad and port facilities which service both facilities. Our
Mexican open-pit operations combined two units of Minera Mexico, Mexcobre and
Mexcananea, which includes La Caridad and Cananea mine complexes and smelting
and refining plants and support facilities which service both complexes. Our
IMMSA unit includes five underground mines that produce zinc, lead, copper,
silver and gold, a coal and coke mine, and several industrial processing
facilities for copper, zinc and silver. Segment information is included under
the captions &#147;Overview-Metal production&#148; and &#147;Ore reserves&#148;, as well as in Note

copper grade over 0.4% from the open-pit primary crusher or the copper, zinc
and lead-bearing ore from the underground mines is transported to a
concentrator plant where gyratory crushers break the ore into sizes no larger
than three-quarters of an inch. The ore is then sent to a mill section&nbsp;where
it is ground to the consistency of fine powder. The finely ground ore is mixed
with water and chemical reagents and pumped as a slurry to the flotation
separator where it is mixed with certain chemicals. In the flotation separator,
reagents solution and air pumped into the flotation cells cause the minerals to
separate from the waste rock and bubble to the surface where they are collected

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Copper concentrates are
transported to a smelter, where they are smelted using a furnace, converter and
anode furnace to produce either copper blister (which is in the form&nbsp;of
cakes with air pockets) or copper anodes (which are cleaned of air pockets). At
the smelter, the concentrates are mixed with flux (a chemical substance
intentionally included for high temperature processing) and then sent to
reverberatory furnaces producing copper matte and slag (a mixture of iron and
other impurities). Copper matte contains approximately 65% copper. Copper matte
is then sent to the converters, where the material is oxidized in two steps: (i)&nbsp;the
iron sulfides in the matte are oxidized with silica, producing slag that is
returned to the reverberatory furnaces; and (ii)&nbsp;the copper contained in
the matte sulfides is then oxidized to produce copper that, after casting, is
called blister copper, containing approximately 98% to 99% copper, or anodes,
containing approximately 99.7% copper. Some of the blister production is sold
to customers and the remainder is sent to the refinery.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Anodes are suspended in
tanks containing sulfuric acid and copper sulfate. A weak electrical current is
passed through the anodes and chemical solution and the dissolved copper is
deposited on very thin starting sheets to produce copper cathodes containing
approximately 99.99% copper. During this process, silver, gold and other metals
(for example, palladium, platinum and selenium), along with other impurities,
settle on the bottom of the tank. This anodic mud (slime) is processed at a
precious metal plant where silver and gold are recovered.</font></p>

<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">To produce copper rods,
copper cathodes are first melted in a furnace and then dosified in a casting
machine. The dosified copper is then extruded and passed through a cooling
system that begins solidification of copper into a 60</font><font face="Symbol">&#180;</font>50
millimeter copper bar. The resulting copper bar is gradually stretched in a
rolling mill to achieve the desired diameter. The rolled bar is then cooled and
sprayed with wax as a preservation agent and collected into a rod coil that is
compacted and sent to market.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">An alternative to the
conventional concentrator/smelter/refinery process is the leaching and SX/EW
process. During the SX/EW process, certain types of low-grade ore with a copper
grade under 0.4% are leached with sulfuric acid to allow copper content
recovery. The acid and copper solution is then agitated with a solvent that
contains chemical additives that attract copper ions. As the solvent is lighter
than water, it floats to the surface carrying with it the copper content. The
solvent is then separated using an acid solution, freeing the copper. The acid
solution containing the copper is then moved to electrolytic extraction tanks
to produce copper cathodes. Refined copper can be produced more economically
(though over a longer period) and from lower grade ore using the SX/EW process
instead of the traditional concentrating, smelting and refining process.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Molybdenum is recovered
from copper-molybdenum concentrates produced at the concentrator. The copper-molybdenum
concentrate is first treated with a thickener until it becomes slurry with 60%
solids. The slurry is then agitated in a chemical and water solution and pumped
to the flotation separator. The separator creates a froth that carries
molybdenum to the surface but not the copper mineral (which is later filtered
to produce copper concentrates containing approximately 27% copper). The
molybdenum froth is skimmed off, filtered and dried to produce molybdenum
concentrates of approximately 58% contained molybdenum.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Metallic zinc is produced
through electrolysis using zinc concentrates and zinc oxides. Sulfur is
eliminated from the concentrates by roasting and the zinc oxide is dissolved in
sulfuric acid solution to eliminate solid impurities. The purified zinc sulfide
solution is treated by electrolysis to produce refined zinc and to separate
silver and gold, which are recovered as concentrates.</font></p>

produced in the copper smelting and zinc roasting processes. As a part&nbsp;of
our environmental preservation program, we treat the sulfur dioxide emissions
at two of our Mexican plants and at Peruvian processing facilities to produce
sulfuric acid, some of which is, in turn, used for the copper leaching process,
with the rest sold to mining and fertilizer companies located in Mexico, Peru,
the United States, Chile, Australia and other countries.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Both the Toquepala and
Cuajone pits are approximately 700 meters deep and under the present mine plan
configuration will reach a depth of 1,200 meters. The deepening pit presents us
with a number of geotechnical challenges. Perhaps the foremost concern is the
possibility of slope failure, a possibility that all open pit mines face. In
order to maintain slope stability, in the past we have decreased pit slope
angles, installed additional or duplicate haul road access, and increased
stripping requirements. We have also responded to hydrological conditions and
removed material displaced by a slope failure. There is no assurance that we
will not have to take these or other actions in the future, any of which may&nbsp;negatively
affect our results of operations and financial condition, as well as have the
effect of diminishing our stated ore reserves. To meet the geotechnical
challenges relating to slope stability of the open pit mines, we have taken the
following steps:</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In the late 1990&#146;s we
hosted round table meetings in Vancouver, B.C. with a group of recognized slope
stability and open pit mining specialists. The agenda for these meetings was
principally a review of pit design for mines with greater than 700 meter depth.
The discussions included practices for monitoring, data collection and blasting
processes.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Based on the concepts
defined at the Vancouver meetings, we initiated slope stability studies to
define the mining of reserves by optimum design. These studies were performed
by outside consultants and included slope stability appraisals, evaluation of
the numerical modeling, slope performance and inter-ramp angle design and
evaluation of hydrological conditions.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The studies were
completed in 2000 and we believe we implemented the study recommendations. One
of the major changes implemented was slope angle reduction at both</font></p>

waste included in the mineable reserve calculation, it also improved the
stability of the pits.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Since 1998, a wall
depressurization program has been in place in both pits. This consists of a
horizontal drilling program, which improves drainage thereby reducing
saturation and increasing wall stability. Additionally, a new blasting control
program was put in place, implementing vibration monitoring and blasting
designs of low punctual energy. Also a new slope monitoring system was
implemented using reflection prisms, deformation inclinometers and piezometers
for water level control, as well as real-time robotic monitoring equipment.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">To increase the
possibility of mining in the event of a slide, we have provided for two ramps
of extraction for each open pit mine.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">While these measures
cannot guarantee that a slope failure will not occur, we believe that our
mining practices are sound and that the steps taken and the ongoing reviews
performed are a prudent methodology for open pit mining.</font></p>

consist of an open-pit copper mine and a concentrator located in southern Peru,
30 kilometers from the city of Moquegua and 840 kilometers from Lima. The
concentrator has a milling capacity of 87,000 tons per day. Overburden removal
commenced in 1970 and ore production commenced in 1976. Our Cuajone operations
utilize a conventional open-pit mining method to collect copper ore for further
processing in our concentrator.</font></p>

copper deposit is located on the western slopes of Cordillera Occidental, in
the southern-most Andes Mountains of Peru. The deposit is part&nbsp;of a
mineral district that contains two additional known deposits, Toquepala and
Quellaveco. The copper mineralization at Cuajone is typical of porphyry copper
deposits.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our Cuajone operations
use state-of-the-art computer monitoring systems at the concentrator, the
crushing plant and the flotation circuit in order to coordinate inflows and
optimize operations. Material with a copper grade over 0.40% is loaded onto
rail cars and sent to the milling circuit, where giant rotating crushers reduce
the size of the rocks to approximately one-half of an inch. The ore is then
sent to the ball mills, which grind it to the consistency of fine powder. The
finely ground powder is agitated in a water and reagents solution and is then
transported to flotation cells. Air is pumped into the cells producing a froth
that carries the copper mineral to the surface but not the waste rock, or
tailings. Recovered copper, with the consistency of froth, is filtered and
dried to produce copper concentrates with an average copper content of 26.4%. Concentrates
are then shipped by rail to the smelter at Ilo.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our Toquepala operations
consist of an open-pit copper mine and a concentrator. We also refine copper at
the SX/EW facility through a leaching process. Toquepala is located in southern
Peru, 30 kilometers from Cuajone and 870 kilometers from Lima. The concentrator
has a milling capacity of 60,000 tons per day, which has been expanded from
45,000 tons per day in 2002. The SX/EW facility has a refining capacity of
56,000 tons per year. Overburden removal commenced in 1957 and ore production
commenced in 1960. Our Toquepala operations utilize a conventional open-pit
mining method to collect copper ore for further processing in our concentrator.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our Toquepala operations
use state-of-the-art computer monitoring systems at the concentrator, the
crushing plant and the flotation circuit in order to coordinate inflows and
optimize operations. Material with a copper grade over 0.40% is loaded onto
rail cars and sent to the milling circuit, where giant rotating crushers reduce
the size of the rocks to approximately one-half of an inch. The ore is then
sent to the ball and bar mills, which grind it to the consistency of fine
powder. The finely ground powder is agitated in a water and reagents solution
and is then transported to flotation cells. Air is pumped into the cells
producing a froth, which carries the copper mineral to the surface but not the
waste rock, or tailings. Recovered copper, with the consistency of froth, is
filtered and dried to produce copper concentrates with an average copper
content of 27.3%. Concentrates are then shipped by rail to the smelter at Ilo.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our Ilo smelter provides
blister copper for the refinery we operate as part&nbsp;of the same facility. Blister
copper produced by the smelter exceeds the refinery&#146;s capacity and the excess
is sold to other refineries around the world. The nominal installed capacity of
the smelter is 1,131,500 tons per year. We are in the process of modernizing
the Ilo smelter to comply with Peruvian government requirements. The project is
part&nbsp;of our Environmental Compliance and Management Program, or PAMA,
which was approved by the Peruvian government in 1997. The project will
modernize the smelter and is targeted to capture no less than 92% of the sulfur
dioxide emissions, in compliance with PAMA requirements. The modernization
program is progressing on schedule&nbsp;and expected to be completed by the end
of 2006. As part&nbsp;of this project an anode casting wheel was completed in January&nbsp;2006
and blister production was replaced with anode production, enabling us to
eliminate a costly re-melting step in our production process.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We operate an open-pit
copper mine, a concentrator and two SX/EW plants at our Cananea mining complex,
located 71 kilometers from La Caridad, Mexico and 61 kilometers south of the
Arizona border on the outskirts of the town of Cananea. The concentrator has a
milling capacity of 76,700 tons per day. The SX/EW facility has a refining
capacity of 54,750 tons per year. The Cananea site is one of the world&#146;s
largest porphyry copper deposits. The Cananea mine is the oldest continuously
operating copper mine in North America, with operations tracing back to 1899.
Cananea uses a conventional open-pit mining method to collect copper ore for
further refining in our concentrator.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Cananea mine is
unusual in that the ore explored and sampled at the mine has been of consistent
quality, unlike most copper deposits which evidence a decline in grades at
deeper strata. The Cananea region is within the southern Cordilleran region,
extending from southern Mexico to the northwestern United States.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Cananea uses
state-of-the-art computer monitoring systems at the concentrator, the crushing
plant and the flotation circuit in order to coordinate inflows and optimize
operations. Material with a copper grade over 0.38% is loaded onto trucks and
sent to the milling circuit, where giant rotating crushers reduce the size of
the rocks to approximately one-half of an inch. The ore is then sent to the
ball and bar mills, which grind it to the consistency of fine powder. The
finely ground powder is agitated in a water and reagents solution and is then
transported to flotation cells. Air is pumped into the cells producing a froth,
which carries the copper mineral to the surface but not the waste rock, or
tailings. Recovered copper, with the consistency of froth, is filtered and
dried to produce copper concentrates with an average copper content of 27.21%. Concentrates
are then shipped by rail to the smelter at La Caridad.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Cananea Unit operates
a leaching facility and two SX/EW plants. All copper ore with a grade lower
than the mill cut-off grade 0.25%, but higher than 0.15% copper, is delivered
to the leaching dumps. A cycle of leaching and resting occurs for approximately
five years to achieve a 56% recovery.</font></p>

southeast of the town of Nacozari de Garc&#237;a and 121 kilometers south of the
U.S.-Mexico border. It includes an open-pit mine concentrator, smelter, copper
refinery, precious metals refinery, rod plant, SX/EW plant, lime plant and two
sulfuric acid plants. The smelter and the sulfuric acid plants, as well as the
refineries and rod plant, are located approximately 24 kilometers from the
mine, and the lime plant is situated 18 kilometers from the U.S. border. Access
is by paved highway and by railroad.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The La Caridad deposit is
a porphyry copper deposit typical of those in the southern basin and range
province in the southwestern United States. The Mexcobre Unit uses a
conventional open-pit mining method. The ore body is situated within a mountain
top, which gives La Caridad the advantage of a relatively low waste-stripping
ratio, natural pit drainage and relatively short haul distances for both ore
and waste. The mining method involves drilling, blasting, loading and haulage
of waste, leach and ore to waste and leaching dumps and to the primary
crushers.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Mexcobre uses
state-of-the-art computer monitoring systems at the concentrator, the crushing
plant and the flotation circuit in order to coordinate inflows and optimize
operations. The concentrator has a current capacity of 90,000 metric tons of
ore per day.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Ore extracted from the
mine with a copper grade over 0.30% is processed at the concentrator and is
processed into copper concentrates and molybdenum concentrates. The copper
concentrates are sent to the smelter and the molybdenum concentrate is exported.
The molybdenum recovery plant has a capacity of 2,000 tons per day of copper-molybdenum
concentrates. The lime plant has a capacity of 340 tons of finished product per
day.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Approximately 463.6
million tons of leaching ore with an average grade of approximately 0.25%
copper have been extracted from the La Caridad open-pit mine and deposited in
leaching dumps from May&nbsp;1995 to December&nbsp;31, 2005. In 1995, Mexcobre
completed the construction of a new SX/EW facility at La Caridad that has
allowed processing of this ore and certain leach ore reserves that are unmined
and has resulted in a reduction in Mexcobre&#146;s production costs of copper. The
SX/EW facility has a total capacity of 21,900 tons of copper cathodes per year.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Almost all of the anodes
produced in the smelter are sent to the La Caridad copper refinery in order to
increase the copper purity. The actual installed capacity of the smelter is
1,000,000 tons per year, capacity that is sufficient to receive the
concentrates of the Mexicana de Cobre (La Caridad) and Mexicana de Cananea
Mining Units. The amount of smelted copper concentrates was 894,735, 820,459
and 629,505 tons for 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The anode production
capacity is 300,000 tons per year and the production for 2005, 2004 and 2003

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Mexcobre includes an
electrolytic copper refinery at La Caridad that uses permanent cathode technology.
The actual installed capacity of the refinery is 300,000 tons per year. The
refinery consists of an anode plant with a preparation area, an electrolytic
plant, a slime treatment plant and a number of ancillary installations. The
refinery is producing grade A copper cathode of 99.99% purity. Anodic slimes
are recovered from the refining process and sent to the slimes treatment plant
where additional copper is extracted. The slimes are then filtered, packed and
shipped to the La Caridad precious metals refinery to produce silver and gold. The
refined cathode production for 2005, 2004 and 2003 was 233,685, 202,146 and
163,967 tons, respectively.</font></p>

<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The operations of the
precious metal refinery are divided into two stages: (i)&nbsp;the antimony is
eliminated from the slime; and (ii)&nbsp;the slime is dried in a steam dryer. After
this the dried slime is smelted and a gold and silver alloy is obtained, which
is known as </font>dore.
The process ends with the refining of the gold and silver alloy. The production
of gold for 2005, 2004 and 2003 was 817, 575 and 594 kilograms<b><font style="font-weight:bold;">,</font></b> respectively. The production of silver
for 2005, 2004 and 2003 was 142,534, 90,914 and 136,117 kilograms,

Charcas mining district was discovered in 1573 and operations in the 20th
century began in 1911. The Charcas mine is characterized by low operating costs
and good quality ores and is situated near the zinc refinery. We have expanded
production capacity of the mine by 32% since 1993, and the Charcas mine is now
Mexico&#146;s largest producer of zinc.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Charcas mining

the Sierra Madre Metallogenic Province.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Charcas mine uses the
hydraulic cut-and-fill method and the room-and-pillar mining method with
descending benches. The broken ore is hauled to the underground crusher station.
The crushed ore is then hoisted to the surface for processing in the flotation
plant to produce lead, zinc and copper concentrates. The capacity of the
flotation plant is 4,000 tons of ore per day; 1,327,990, 1,317,288 and
1,212,938 tons of ore were mined at Charcas during 2005, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. The lead concentrate produced at Charcas is treated at a third
party refinery in Mexico. The zinc and copper concentrates are treated at our
San Luis Potosi zinc refinery and copper smelter.</font></p>

complex is located approximately 26 kilometers southwest of the city of Hidalgo
del Parral in southern Chihuahua, Mexico. It includes three main underground
mines and a flotation plant and produces lead, copper and zinc concentrates,
with significant amounts of silver. Gold-bearing veins were discovered in the
Santa Barbara district as early as 1536. Mining activities in the 20th century
began in 1913.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The mining operations at
Santa Barbara are more diverse and complex than at any of the other mines in
our Mexican operations, with veins that aggregate approximately 21 kilometers
in length. Each of the three underground mines has several shafts and crushers.
Due to the variable characteristics of the ore bodies, four types of mining
methods are used: shrinkage stoping, long-hole drilled open stoping,
cut-and-fill stoping and horizontal bench stoping. The ore, once crushed, is
processed in the flotation plant to produce concentrates. The flotation plant
has a capacity of 6,000 tons of ore per day; 1,486,622, 1,453,793 and 1,450,124
tons of ore were mined at the Santa Barbara mine during 2005, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. The lead concentrate produced is treated at a third party
refinery in Mexico. The copper concentrates are treated at our San Luis Potosi
copper smelter, and the zinc concentrates are either treated at the San Luis
Potosi zinc refinery or exported.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The horizontal
cut-and-fill mining method is used at the San Martin mine. The broken ore is
hauled to the underground crusher station. The ore is then brought to the
surface and fed to the flotation plant to produce concentrates. The flotation
plant has a total capacity of 4,400 tons of ore per day; 1,231,476, 1,259,220
and 1,287,239 tons of ore were mined at San Martin in 2005, 2004 and 2003,

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The plant operates one
blast furnace (with a second on stand-by) that smelts incoming materials,
mainly copper concentrates and copper byproducts from lead plants, to produce a
copper matte. The copper matte is then treated in one of the two Pierce Smith
converters, producing copper blister (97.4% copper), which in 2005 contained
approximately one ounce of gold and 400 ounces of silver per ton of copper
blister produced. Of a total copper concentrate intake of 50,243 tons in 2005,
approximately 90% was supplied by the Immsa Unit&#146;s mines and the remaining
amount was smelted under toll arrangements with third parties. Copper blister
production in 2005, 2004 and 2003 amounted to 21,318, 22,666, and 23,548 tons,

at the smelter contain various impurities (especially lead and arsenic), the
facility has been equipped with an arsenic recovery plant for treatment of the
flue dust produced in the blast furnace section. This material contains
approximately 35% lead and 18% arsenic which, when treated, produces
approximately 1,800 tons per year of high purity arsenic trioxide which is, in
turn, sold in the United States principally to the wood preserving industry. Approximately
15,000 tons per year of lead bearing calcines (approximately 32% lead) are sold
annually to Industrias Pe&#241;oles, S.A. de C.V. (&#147;Pe&#241;oles&#148;).</font></p>

mining method is employed at the underground Nueva Rosita coal mine with
continuous miners. At present, the coke oven installation supplies the San Luis
Potosi copper smelter with low-cost coke, resulting in significant cost savings
to the smelter. The surplus production (approximately 21,608 tons per year) is
sold to Pe&#241;oles and other Mexican consumers in northern Mexico. The complex
includes a coal washing plant completed in 1998 that has a capacity of 900,000
tons per year and produces cleaner coal of a higher quality. The 2005, 2004 and
2003 production of clean coal was 257,016, 238,336 and 260,966 tons,
respectively.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The principal uses of copper are in the building
and construction industry, electrical and electronic products and, to a lesser
extent, industrial machinery and equipment, consumer products and the
automotive and transportation industries. Molybdenum is used to toughen alloy
steels and soften tungsten alloy and is also used in fertilizers, dyes, enamels
and reagents. Silver is used for photographic, electrical and electronic
products and, to a lesser extent, brazing alloys and solder, jewelry, coinage,
silverware and catalysts. Zinc is primarily used as a coating on iron and steel
to protect against corrosion. It is also used to make die cast parts, in the
manufacturing of batteries and in the form&nbsp;of sheets for architectural
purposes.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our marketing strategy
and annual sales planning emphasize developing and maintaining long-term
customer relationships, and thus acquiring annual or other long-term contracts
for the sale of our products is a high priority. Approximately 90% of our metal
production for the year 2005, 2004 and 2003, was sold under annual or
longer-term contracts. Sales prices are determined based on prevailing
commodity prices for the quotation period, generally being the month of, the
month prior to or the months following the actual or contractual month of
shipment or delivery, according to the terms of the contract.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We focus on the ultimate
end-user customers as opposed to selling on the spot market or to trading
companies. In addition, we devote significant marketing effort to diversifying
our sales both by region and by customer base. We strive to provide superior
customer service, including just-in-time deliveries of our products. Our
ability to consistently fulfill customer demand is supported by our substantial
production capacity.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Prices for our products
are principally a function of supply and demand and, except for molybdenum, are
established on the Commodities Exchange, or COMEX, in New York and the London
Metal Exchange or LME the two most important metal exchanges in the world. Prices
for our molybdenum products are established by reference to the publication
Platt&#146;s Metals Week. Our contract prices also reflect any negotiated premiums
and the costs of freight and other factors. From time to time, we have entered
into hedging transactions to provide partial protection against future
decreases in the market price of metals and we may&nbsp;do so under certain
market conditions. In 2003 and 2004, however, we did not enter into any
material hedging transactions. We have, however, entered into copper swap
contracts in 2005. At December&nbsp;31, 2005 we do not have any copper swap
contracts. See &#147;Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations-Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk&#148;.

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Competition in the copper
market is principally on a price and service basis, with price being the most
important consideration when supplies of copper are ample. The Company&#146;s
products compete with other materials, including aluminum and plastics.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In Peru on August&nbsp;31,
2004, unionized workers at our mining units in Toquepala and Cuajone stopped
work and asked for additional wage increases based on high metals prices. The
strike ended after twelve days. The union demands included salary increases,
benefits and different application of certain aspects of their labor agreements
and it also expressed opposition to our acquisition of Minera M&#233;xico. The
Peruvian labor ministry declared the strike illegal and the workers returned to
work but asserted their right to return to strike. In early 2005, the workers
removed the strike threat, indicating they would pursue their grievances
through the labor ministry. There were no labor strikes in 2005 or 2003.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Employees of the
Toquepala and Cuajone units reside in town sites, where we have built 2,513
houses and apartments and 1,186 houses and apartments respectively. In 1998,
Company housing, at our Ilo unit, was sold to workers at nominal prices. We
still hold 90 houses at Ilo for staff personnel. Housing, together with
maintenance and utility services, is provided at minimal cost to most of our
employees. Our town site and housing complexes include schools, medical

Metal&#250;rgicos y Similares de la Rep&#250;blica Mexicana, A.C</font></i>. (the
National Mine Workers Union, or the Union). Under Mexican law, the terms of
employment for unionized workers is set forth in collective bargaining
agreements. Mexican companies negotiate the salary provisions of collective
bargaining agreements with the labor unions annually and negotiate other
benefits every two years. We conduct negotiations separately at each mining
complex and each processing plant.</font></p>

the workers at our La Caridad mining complex went on strike claiming that the
Company still owed them profit sharing from 2003. The strike was declared
illegal and the workers returned to work two days later after the Company
agreed to pay each worker approximately $900.00. The total paid was $3.1
million.</font></p>

certain contractual clauses; workers were satisfied with the review and
returned to work 18 days later. On October&nbsp;15, 2004, the workers of
Mexicana de Cananea went on strike, followed by the Mexicana de Cobre workers. The
strike lasted for 6 days at Mexicana de Cobre and 9 days at Mexicana de Cananea.
The strike was resolved by the acquisition by Minera M&#233;xico of the 5% of the
stock of Mexicana de Cananea and Mexicana de Cobre that was owned by the Union.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On January&nbsp;20, 2003,
approximately 1,117 members of the Union went on strike at the Cananea mine in
the state of Sonora, alleging a violation of their collective bargaining

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Employees of the Mexcobre
and Cananea Units reside in town sites at La Caridad and Cananea, where we have
built approximately 2,000 houses and apartments and 275 houses and apartments,
respectively. Employees of the Immsa Unit principally reside on the grounds of
the mining or processing complexes in which they work and where we have built
approximately 900 houses and apartments. Housing, together with maintenance and
utility services, is provided at minimal cost to most of our employees. Our
town sites and housing complexes include educational and, in some units,
medical facilities, churches, social clubs, shopping, banking and other
services. At the Cananea Unit, health care is provided free of charge to
employees and retired unionized employees and their families.</font></p>

WATER SUPPLIES</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Aside from ore, the
principal raw materials for our operations are fuels (including fuel oil to
power boilers and generators, natural gas for metallurgical processes at our
Mexican operations and diesel fuel for mining equipment), electricity and water.
We believe that supplies of fuel, electricity and water are readily available. Although
the prices of these raw materials may&nbsp;fluctuate, we have generally been
able to offset all or a portion of our increased costs through cost and energy
saving measures. However, during the period from 2003 through 2005 we have
experienced increases in energy prices that have surpassed levels we can
effectively control through cost savings.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Peru</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In Peru, electric power
for our operating facilities is generated by two thermal electric plants owned
and operated by Energ&#237;a del Sur, S.A. (&#147;Enersur&#148;), a diesel and waste heat
boilers plant located adjacent to the Ilo smelter and a coal plant located
south of Ilo. Power generation capacity for Peruvian operations is currently
344 megawatts. In addition, we have 9 megawatts of power generation capacity
from two small hydro-generating installations at Cuajone. Power is distributed
over a 224-kilometer closed loop transmission circuit. We obtain fuel in Peru
principally from the Exxon Mobil Corporation.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In 1997, we sold our Ilo
power plant to Enersur and entered into a power purchase agreement. We and
Enersur also entered into an agreement for the sharing of certain services
between the power plant and our smelter at Ilo. These arrangements were amended
in 2003, and we made a one-time contractual payment to Enersur of
$4.0&nbsp;million associated with the termination of the original power
purchase agreement. We believe we can satisfy the need for increased
electricity requirements for our Peru operations from other sources, including
local power providers.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In Peru, we have water
concessions for well fields at Huaitire, Vizcachas and Titijones and surface
water rights from the Suches lake, which together are sufficient to supply the
needs of our two operating mine sites at Toquepala and Cuajone. At Ilo, we have
desalinization plants that produce water for industrial and domestic use that
we believe are sufficient for our current and projected needs.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In Mexico, fuel is
purchased directly or indirectly from Petr&#243;leos Mexicanos, (&#147;PEMEX&#148;), the state
oil monopoly. Electricity for our Mexican operations, which is used as the main
energy source at each mining complex we operate, is either purchased from the <i><font style="font-style:italic;">Comisi&#243;n Federal de Electricidad</font></i> (the
Federal Electricity Commission, or CFE), the state electrical power producer,
or steam-generated at Mexcobre&#146;s smelter by recovering energy from the flash
furnace through a waste heat boiler. Accordingly, a significant portion of our
operating costs in Mexico are dependent upon the pricing policies of Pemex and
CFE, which reflect government policy as well as international market prices for
crude oil, natural gas and conditions in the refinery markets. Mexcobre&#146;s
natural gas pipeline (between Douglas, Arizona and Nacozari, Sonora) that began
operating in May&nbsp;1999, permits us to import natural gas from the United
States into Mexico at market prices and thereby reduce operational costs. A
contract with PEMEX, provides us with the option of using a fixed price for a
portion of our natural gas purchases.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In December&nbsp;we
announced our plans for a 450 Megawatt power generation plant in Mexico to
supply our own facilities. We anticipate that the project, which is currently
out for bids, will be built and managed by an independent power company and our
obligation will be the supply of coal from our reserves and an agreement to use
the power output. We expect this plant will give us the ability to better
control the cost of our energy requirements, which are a major element of our
operating costs. The project is expected </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In Mexico, water is a
national property and industries not connected to a public services water
supply must obtain a water concession from <i><font style="font-style:italic;">Comisi&#243;n
Nacional del Agua</font></i> (the &#147;National Water Commission&#148;, or &#147;CNA&#148;). Water
usage fees are established in the <i><font style="font-style:italic;">Ley
Federal Derechos,</font></i> which distinguishes several availability zones
with different fees per unit of volume according to each zone. All of our
operations have one or several water concessions and, with the exception of
Mexicana de Cobre, pump out the required water from one or several wells.
Mexicana de Cobre pumps water from the La Angostura dam, which is close to the
mine and plants. At our Cananea facility, we maintain our own wells and pay the
CNA for water measured by usage. Water conservation committees have been
established in each plant in order to conserve and recycle water. Water usage
fees are updated on a yearly basis and have been increasing in recent years.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We believe that our
Peruvian concessions are in full force and effect under applicable Peruvian
laws and that we are in compliance with all material terms and requirements
applicable to these concessions. The concessions have indefinite terms, subject
to our payment of concession fees of up to $3.00 per hectare annually for the
mining concessions and a fee based on nominal capacity for the processing
concessions. Fees paid during 2005, 2004 and 2003 were approximately $0.8, $1.1
and $1.0&nbsp;million, respectively. We have two types of mining concessions in
Peru: metallic and non-metallic concessions. We also have water concessions for
well fields at Huaitire, Titijones and Vizcachas and surface water rights from
the Suches Lake, which together are sufficient to supply the needs of our
Toquepala and Cuajone operating units.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In June&nbsp;2004, the
Peruvian Congress enacted legislation imposing a royalty charge to be paid by
mining companies in favor of the regional governments and communities where
mining resources are located. Under the new law, we are subject to a 1% to 3%
tax, based on sales, applicable to the value of the concentrates produced in
our Toquepala and Cuajone mines. We made provisions of $40.3 million and $17.6
million in 2005 and 2004 respectively, for this new tax which went into effect
as of June&nbsp;25, 2004. These provisions are included in cost of sales
(exclusive of depreciation, amortization and depletion) on the Consolidated
Combined Statement of Earnings.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In a ruling, the Peruvian

concessions held in the mining industry, implying that those entities with tax</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">stability contracts are
subject to this charge. In 1996, we entered into a tax stability contract with
the Peruvian government (a &#147;Guaranty and Promotional Measures for Investment
Contract&#148;) relating to our own SX/EW production, which, among other things,
fixes tax rates and other contributions relating to such production. We believe
that the Constitutional Tribunal&#146;s interpretation relating to entities with tax
stability contracts is incorrect and we intend to protest the imposition of the
royalty charge on our SX/EW production, when and if assessed. Provision made by
us for the royalty charge does not include approximately $5.9 million of
additional potential liability relating to our SX/EW production from June&nbsp;30,
2004 through December&nbsp;31, 2005.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We believe that our
Mexican concessions are in full force and effect under applicable Mexican laws
and that we are in compliance with all material terms and requirements
applicable to these concessions. Under Mexican law, mineral resources belong to
the Mexican nation and a concession from the Mexican federal government is
required to explore (exploration concession) or mine mineral reserves
(exploitation concession). Exploration concessions have a six-year term, at the
end of which they have to be changed to exploitation concessions, which have a
50-year term that can be renewed for another 50&nbsp;years. Exploration
concessions have holding fees of up to $3 per hectare. Holding fees for
exploitation concessions can be up to $15 per hectare. Fees paid during 2005,
2004, and 2003 were approximately $2.1 million, $1.8 million and $2.1 million,
respectively. In addition, all of our operating units in Mexico have water
concessions that are in full force and effect. We generally own the land to
which our Mexican concessions relate, although ownership is not required in
order to explore or mine a concession. We also own all of the processing
facilities of our Mexican operations and the land on which they are constructed.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Every investor or
potential investor in Southern Copper Corporation should carefully consider the
following risk factors.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">Risks Relating to Our Business
Generally</font></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Our financial
performance is highly dependent on the price of copper and the other metals we
produce.</font></i></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our financial performance is significantly affected by
the market prices of the metals that we produce, particularly the market prices
of copper and molybdenum. Historically, prices of the metals we produce have
been subject to wide fluctuations and are affected by numerous factors beyond
our control, including international economic and political conditions, levels
of supply and demand, the availability and costs of substitutes, inventory
levels maintained by users, actions of participants in the commodities markets
and currency exchange rates. In addition, the market prices of copper and certain
other metals have on occasion been subject to rapid short-term changes.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In 2005, an approximately 29% increase in copper
prices on the LME, and the COMEX, and a 95% increase in molybdenum prices,
contributed to an increase of approximately 33% in our total sales in 2005 as
compared with 2004, this after an increase of approximately 96% in 2004. While
the price of copper dropped to a 15-year low of $0.61 per pound in 2001, it has
since increased by approximately 213.0% to $2.26 per pound as of February&nbsp;28,
2006. The price of molybdenum has also recently increased significantly and is
currently at historically high levels. The average annual price of molybdenum
over the five-year period ended December&nbsp;31, 2005 was $11.54 per pound,
with a price per pound as of February&nbsp;28, 2006 of $22.25 per pound. Over
the past three years, as a result of this increase in molybdenum prices,
molybdenum has become a significant contributor to our sales.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We cannot predict whether metals prices will rise or
fall in the future. A decline in metals prices and, in particular, copper or
molybdenum prices, could have an adverse impact on our results of operations
and financial condition, and we might, in very adverse market conditions,
consider curtailing or modifying certain of our mining and processing
operations.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Changes in the
level of demand for our products could adversely affect our product sales.</font></i></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our revenue is dependent on the level of industrial
and consumer demand for the concentrates and refined and semi-refined metal
products we sell. Changes in technology, industrial processes and consumer
habits may&nbsp;affect the level of that demand to the extent that changes
increase or decrease the need for our metal products. A change in demand could
impact our results of operations and financial condition.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Our actual reserves
may&nbsp;not conform&nbsp;to our current estimates of our ore deposits.</font></i></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">There is a degree of uncertainty attributable to the
calculation of reserves. Until reserves are actually mined and processed, the
quantity of ore and grades must be considered as estimates only. The proven and
probable ore reserves data included in this report are estimates prepared by us
based on evaluation methods generally used in the mining industry. Independent
engineers have not verified these reserves estimates. We may&nbsp;be required
in the future to revise our reserves estimates based on our actual production. We
cannot assure you that our actual reserves conform&nbsp;to geological,
metallurgical or other expectations or that the estimated volume and grade of
ore will be recovered. Market prices, increased production costs, reduced
recovery rates, short-term operating factors, royalty taxes and other factors may&nbsp;render
proven and probable reserves uneconomic to exploit and may&nbsp;result in
revisions of reserves data from time to time. Reserves data are not indicative
of future results of operations. See &#147;Ore Reserves&#148;.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our business is capital intensive. Specifically, the
exploration and exploitation of copper and other metal reserves, mining,
smelting and refining costs, the maintenance of machinery and equipment and
compliance with laws and regulations require capital expenditures. We must
continue to invest capital to maintain or to increase the amount of copper
reserves that we exploit and the amount of copper and other metals we produce.
We cannot assure that we will be able to maintain our production levels to
generate sufficient cash, or that we have access to sufficient financing to
continue our exploration, exploitation and refining activities at or above
present levels.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On April&nbsp;1, 2005, we completed our acquisition of
Minera M&#233;xico from AMC, a subsidiary of Grupo M&#233;xico, our controlling
stockholder. We are now in the process of integrating two companies that
previously had been affiliated but operated independently. We acquired Minera
M&#233;xico based on a number of factors, including trends we believe may&nbsp;favor
consolidation in the copper mining industry, potential improvement in
production and our relative cost position, geographic diversification of our
operations and potential operating synergies. We also considered potential
negative effects in evaluating the transaction, including lower than expected
mineral production from Minera M&#233;xico, diversion of management&#146;s attention and
the risk that potential operating synergies may&nbsp;not be realized. We cannot
assure you that the benefits we expect from the acquisition will be achieved or
that potential negative effects will not be realized and adversely affect us.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our financing instruments and those of our Minera
M&#233;xico subsidiary include financial and other restrictive covenants that, among
other things, limit our and Minera Mexico&#146;s abilities to incur additional debt
and sell assets. If either we or our Minera M&#233;xico subsidiary do not comply
with these obligations, we could be in default under the applicable agreements
which, if not addressed or waived, could require repayment of the indebtedness
immediately. Our Minera M&#233;xico subsidiary is further limited by the terms of
its outstanding notes, which also restrict the Company&#146;s applicable incurrence
of debt and liens. In addition, future credit facilities may&nbsp;contain
limitations on its incurrence of additional debt and liens and on its ability

energy resources consumed in our operations. The prices for and availability of
energy resources may&nbsp;be subject to change or curtailment, respectively,
due to, among other things, new laws or regulations, imposition of new taxes or
tariffs, interruptions in production by suppliers, worldwide price levels and
market conditions. For example, during the 1970s and 1980s, our ability to
import fuel oil was restricted by Peruvian government policies that required us
to purchase fuel oil domestically from a government-owned oil producer at
prices substantially above those prevailing on the world market. In addition,
in recent years the price of oil has risen dramatically due to a variety of
factors. Disruptions in supply or increases in costs of energy resources could
have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We believe our results of operations can, from time to
time, be affected by accounting policy changes, including the March&nbsp;17,
2005 Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, consensus ratified by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, on March&nbsp;30, 2005 and the subsequent
modification to the transition provisions approved by the EITF in its June&nbsp;15-16,
2005 meeting. The consensus states that stripping costs incurred during the
production phase of a mine are variable production costs that should be
included in the cost of the inventory produced (extracted) during the period
that the stripping costs are incurred. On January&nbsp;1, 2006 the Company
adopted this consensus by reversing $499.5 million of net cumulative
capitalized stripping cost and capitalized leach inventory cost as of December&nbsp;31,
2005 and recording a net charge of $322.9 million to retained earnings after
the recognition of a workers participation and tax benefit of $176.6 million.
In addition, near-term future years operating income could be negatively
impacted to the extent that costs previously capitalized are expensed. For
further discussions see &#147;Notes to consolidated combined financial statements &#150;

results by requiring increased workers&#146; profit sharing payments by our Minera
M&#233;xico subsidiary. In May&nbsp;2005, the court rendered a decision that changed
the method of computing the amount of statutory workers&#146; profit-sharing
required to be paid by certain Mexican companies, including Minera M&#233;xico. The
court&#146;s ruling in effect prohibited applying net operating loss carryforwards
in computing the income used as the base for determining the workers&#146; profit
sharing amounts, as further described under &#147;Management&#146;s Discussion and

Toquepala and Cuajone initiated work stoppages&nbsp;and sought additional wage
increases based on high metals prices. The strike was resolved on September&nbsp;13,
2004. Additionally, in February&nbsp;2006 construction workers at the Ilo
Smelter modernization project went on strike and blocked access to our Ilo
production facilities. Our Ilo refinery and smelter production was interrupted
for a short period before the matter was resolved. This disruption did not
significantly affect our production.</font></p>

become increasingly stringent over the last decade and we have been required to
dedicate more time and money to compliance and remediation activities.
Furthermore, Mexican authorities have become more rigorous and strict in
enforcing Mexican environmental laws. We expect additional laws and regulations
will be enacted over time with respect to environmental matters. Recently,
Peruvian environmental laws have been enacted imposing closure and remediation
obligations on the mining industry. Our Mexican operations are also subject to
the environmental agreement entered into by Mexico, the United States and
Canada in connection with the North American Free Trade Agreement. The
development of more stringent environmental protection programs in Peru and
Mexico and in relevant trade agreements could impose constraints and additional

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Metals exploration is highly speculative in nature,
involves many risks and is frequently unsuccessful. Once mineralization is
discovered, it may&nbsp;take a number of years from the initial phases of
drilling before production is possible, during which time the economic
feasibility of production may&nbsp;change. Substantial expenditures are
required to establish proven and probable ore reserves through drilling, to
determine metallurgical processes to extract the metals from the ore and, in
the case of new properties, to construct mining and processing facilities. We
cannot assure you that our exploration programs will result in the expansion or
replacement of current production with new proven and probable ore reserves.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Development projects have no operating history upon
which to base estimates of proven and probable ore reserves and estimates of
future cash operating costs. Estimates are, to a large extent, based upon the
interpretation of geological data obtained from drill holes and other sampling
techniques, and feasibility studies that derive estimates of cash operating
costs based upon anticipated tonnage and grades of ore to be mined and
processed, the configuration of the ore body, expected recovery rates of the
mineral from the ore, comparable facility and equipment operating costs,
anticipated climatic conditions and other factors. As a result, actual cash
operating costs and economic returns based upon development of proven and
probable ore reserves may&nbsp;differ significantly from those originally
estimated. Moreover, significant decreases in actual or expected prices may&nbsp;mean
reserves, once found, will be uneconomical to produce.</font></p>

various currencies due to the geographic diversity of our sales and the
countries in which we operate. As some of our costs are incurred in currencies
other than our functional currency, the U.S. dollar, fluctuations in currency
exchange rates may&nbsp;have a significant impact on our financial results.
These costs principally include electricity, labor, maintenance, operation
contractors and fuel. For the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2005, a substantial
portion of our costs were denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollar.
Operating costs are influenced by the currencies of the countries where our
mines and processing plants are located and also by those currencies in which
the costs of equipment and services are determined. The Peruvian nuevo sol, the
Mexican peso and the U.S. dollar are the most important currencies influencing
costs.</font></p>

operating costs are denominated in Peruvian nuevos soles and Mexican pesos.
Accordingly, when inflation in Peru or Mexico increases without a corresponding
devaluation of the nuevo sol or peso, our financial position, results of

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our open-pit mines get deeper as we mine them,
presenting certain geotechnical challenges including the possibility of slope
failure. If we are required to decrease pit slope angles or provide additional
road access to prevent such a failure, our stated reserves could be negatively
affected. Further, hydrological conditions relating to pit slopes, renewal of
material displaced by slope failures and increased stripping requirements could
also negatively affect our stated reserves. We have taken actions in order to
maintain slope stability, but we cannot assure you that we will not have to
take additional action in the future or that our actions taken to date will be
sufficient. Unexpected failure or additional requirements to prevent slope
failure may&nbsp;negatively affect our results of operations and financial

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our direct and indirect parent corporations, including
AMC and Grupo M&#233;xico, have from time to time been named parties in various
litigations involving ASARCO LLC (&#147;Asarco&#148;). Asarco, a mining company, is
indirectly wholly owned by Grupo M&#233;xico. In March&nbsp;2003, AMC purchased its interest
in SCC from Asarco. In August&nbsp;2002 the U.S. Department of Justice brought
a claim alleging fraudulent conveyance in connection with Asarco&#146;s
environmental liabilities and AMC&#146;s then-proposed purchase of SCC from Asarco.
That action was settled pursuant to a Consent Decree dated February&nbsp;2,
2003. The consent decree is binding solely on the U.S. government. In October&nbsp;2004,
AMC, Grupo M&#233;xico, Mexicana de Cobre and other parties, not including SCC, were
named in a lawsuit filed in New York State court in connection with alleged
asbestos liabilities, which lawsuit claims, among other matters, that AMC&#146;s
purchase of SCC from Asarco should be voided as a fraudulent conveyance. While
Grupo M&#233;xico and its affiliates believe that these claims are without merit, we
cannot assure you that these or future claims, if successful, will not have an
adverse effect on our parent corporations or us. Any increase in the financial
obligations of our parent corporations, as a result of matters related to
Asarco or otherwise could, among other matters result in our parent
corporations attempting to obtain increased dividends or other funding from us.

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">2005, certain subsidiaries of Asarco filed bankruptcy
petitions in connection with alleged asbestos liabilities. In July&nbsp;2005,
the unionized workers of Asarco commenced a work stoppage. The work stoppage&nbsp;was
settled in November&nbsp;2005 with the extension of the existing contract for
an additional thirteen month period until December&nbsp;31, 2006. A further
deterioration of the financial condition of Asarco could result in additional
claims being filed against Grupo M&#233;xico and its subsidiaries, including SCC,
Minera M&#233;xico or its subsidiaries. As a result of various factors, including
the above mentioned work stoppage, in August&nbsp;2005, Asarco LLC entered into
bankruptcy proceedings under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code before the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court of Corpus Christi, Texas. Asarco&#146;s bankruptcy case is
being joined with the bankruptcy cases of its subsidiaries. Asarco is in
continuing possession of its properties and is operating and managing its
businesses as a debtor in possession. Asarco believes that by utilizing the
Chapter 11 process it can achieve an orderly restructuring of its business and
finally resolve, among other contingencies, its environmental and asbestos
claims. However, it is impossible to predict how the bankruptcy court will
ultimately rule&nbsp;with respect to such petitions and the impact such rulings
will have on Asarco and its subsidiaries and ultimately upon us.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Under the laws of Peru and Mexico, mineral resources
belong to the state and government concessions are required in both countries
to explore for or exploit mineral reserves. In Peru, our mineral rights derive
from concessions from the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines for our
exploration, exploitation, extraction and/or production operations. In June&nbsp;2004,
the Peruvian Congress enacted legislation imposing a royalty to be paid by
mining companies in favor of the regional governments and communities where
mining resources are located. Under the new law, we are subject to a 1% to 3%
tax, based on sales, applicable to the value of the concentrates produced in
our Toquepala and Cuajone mines. See &#147;Business&#150;Mining Rights and Concessions&#150;Peru.&#148;&#160; In Mexico, our mineral rights derive from
concessions granted, on a discretionary basis, by the <i><font style="font-style:italic;">Secretar&#237;a de Econom&#237;a</font></i> (Ministry of
Economy), pursuant to the <i><font style="font-style:italic;">Ley Minera</font></i>
(the Mining Law) and regulations thereunder.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Mining concessions in both Peru and Mexico may&nbsp;be
terminated if the obligations of the concessionaire are not satisfied. In Peru,
we are obligated to pay certain fees for our mining concession. In Mexico, we
are obligated, among other things, to explore or exploit the relevant
concession, to pay any relevant fees, to comply with all environmental and
safety standards, to provide information to the Ministry of Economy and to
allow inspections by the Ministry of Economy. Any termination or unfavorable
modification of the terms of one or more of our concessions, or failure to
obtain renewals of such concessions subject to renewal or extensions, could
have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and prospects.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">A significant part&nbsp;of our operations are
conducted in Peru. Accordingly, our business, financial condition or results of
operations could be affected by changes in economic or other policies of the
Peruvian government or other political, regulatory or economic developments in
Peru. During the past several decades, Peru has had a history of political
instability that has included military coups and a succession of regimes with
differing policies and programs. Past governments have frequently intervened in
the nation&#146;s economy and social structure. Among other actions, past
governments have imposed controls on prices, exchange rates and local and
foreign investment as well as limitations on imports, have restricted the
ability of companies to dismiss employees, have expropriated private sector
assets (including mining companies) and have prohibited the remittance of
profits to foreign investors.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">From 1985 through 1990, during the Alan Garc&#237;a
administration, government policies restricted our ability, among other things,
to repatriate funds and import products from abroad. In addition, currency
exchange rates were strictly controlled and all exports sales were required to
be deposited in Peru&#146;s <i><font style="font-style:italic;">Banco Central de
Reserva</font></i>, where they were exchanged from U.S. dollars to the Peruvian
currency at less-than-favorable rates of exchange. These policies generally had
an adverse effect on our results of operations. Controls on repatriation of
funds limited the ability of our stockholders to receive dividends outside of
Peru but did not limit the ability of our stockholders to receive distributions
of earnings in Peru.</font></p>

president, and his administration implemented a broad-based reform&nbsp;of Peru&#146;s
economic and social conditions aimed at stabilizing the economy, restructuring
the national government by reducing bureaucracy, privatizing state-owned
companies, promoting private investment, developing and strengthening free
markets and enacting programs for the strengthening of basic services related
to education, health, housing and infrastructure. After taking office for his
third term in July&nbsp;2000 under extreme protest, President Fujimori was
forced to call for general elections due to the outbreak of corruption
scandals, and later resigned in favor of a transitory government headed by the
president of Congress, Valent&#237;n Paniagua.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Mr.&nbsp;Paniagua took office in November&nbsp;2000
and in July&nbsp;2001 handed over the presidency to Alejandro Toledo, the
winner of the elections decided in the second round held on June&nbsp;3, 2001,
ending two years of political turmoil. Since his election, President Toledo has
retained, for the most part, the economic policies of the previous government,
focusing on promoting private investment, eliminating tax exemptions, reducing
underemployment and unemployment and privatizing state-owned companies in
various sectors including energy, mining and public services. President Toledo
also implemented fiscal austerity programs, among other proposals, in order to
stimulate the economy. Despite Peru&#146;s moderate economic growth, the Toledo
administration has at times faced public unrest spurred by the high rates of
unemployment, underemployment and poverty. President Toledo has been forced to
restructure his cabinet on several occasions to quell public unrest and to
maintain his political alliances.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Given that the Toledo administration continues to face
a fragmented Congress and continuing public unrest, we cannot assure you that
the government will continue its current economic policies or that Peru&#146;s
recent economic growth will be sustained. In addition, presidential elections
are expected to be held in Peru in the second quarter of 2006, which may&nbsp;mean
a change in Peru&#146;s economic policies. Because we have significant operations in
Peru, future Peruvian governmental actions could have an adverse effect on
market conditions, prices and returns on our securities, and on our business,
results of operations, financial condition, ability to obtain financing and
prospects.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">There is a risk of terrorism in Peru relating to <i><font style="font-style:italic;">Sendero Luminoso</font></i> and the <i><font style="font-style:italic;">Movimiento Revolucionario Tupac Amaru</font></i>,
which were particularly active in the 1980s and early 1990s. We cannot
guarantee that acts by these or other terrorist organizations will not
adversely affect our operations in the future.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">A significant part&nbsp;of our operations are based in
Mexico. In the past, Mexico has experienced both prolonged periods of weak
economic conditions and dramatic deterioration in economic conditions,
characterized by exchange rate instability and significant devaluation of the
peso, increased inflation, high domestic interest rates, a substantial outflow
of capital, negative economic growth, reduced consumer purchasing power and
high unemployment. An economic crisis occurred in 1995 in the context of a series&nbsp;of
internal disruptions and political events including a large current account
deficit, civil unrest in the southern state of Chiapas, the assassination of
two prominent political figures, a substantial outflow of capital and a
significant devaluation of the peso. We cannot assure you that such conditions
will not recur, that other unforeseen negative political or social conditions
will not arise or that such conditions will not have a material adverse effect
on our financial condition and results of operations.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On July&nbsp;2, 2000, Vicente Fox of the <i><font style="font-style:italic;">Partido Acci&#243;n Nacional</font></i> (the National
Action Party), or PAN, was elected president. Although his election ended more
than 70 years of presidential rule&nbsp;by the <i><font style="font-style:italic;">Partido
Revolucionario Institucional</font></i> (the Institutional Revolutionary
Party), or PRI, neither the PAN nor the PRI succeeded in securing a majority in
the Mexican congress. In elections in 2003 and 2004, the PAN lost additional
seats in the Mexican Congress and state governorships. The lack of a majority
party in the legislature and the lack of alignment between the legislature and
the executive branch have resulted in legislative gridlock, which is expected
to continue at least until the Mexican presidential elections in 2006. Such
legislative gridlock has impeded the progress of structural reforms in Mexico,
which may&nbsp;have a material adverse effect on the Mexican economy and cause

reduced economic growth and fluctuations in the nuevo sol exchange rate may&nbsp;adversely

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Over the past several decades, Peru has experienced
periods of high inflation, slow or negative economic growth and substantial
currency devaluation. The inflation rate in Peru, as measured by the <i><font style="font-style:italic;">Indice de Precios al Consumidor</font></i> and
published by the <i><font style="font-style:italic;">Instituto Nacional de
Estad&#237;stica e Inform&#225;tica</font></i>, the National Institute of Statistics, has
fallen from a high of 7,649.7% in 1990 to 1.5% in 2005. The Peruvian currency
has been devalued numerous times during the last 20&nbsp;years. The devaluation
rate has decreased from a high of 4,019.3% in 1990 to 4.5% in 2005. Our
revenues are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars and our operating expenses
are partly denominated in U.S. dollars. If inflation in Peru were to increase
without a corresponding devaluation of the nuevo sol relative to the U.S.
dollar, our financial position and results of operations, and the market price
of our common stock, could be affected. Although the Peruvian government&#146;s
stabilization plan has significantly reduced inflation and the Peruvian economy
has experienced moderate growth in recent years, we cannot assure you that
inflation will not increase from its current level or that such growth will
continue in the future at similar rates or at all.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Among the economic circumstances that could lead to a
devaluation of the nuevo sol is the decline of Peruvian foreign reserves to
inadequate levels. Peru&#146;s foreign reserves at February&nbsp;28, 2006, were
$14.0 billion as compared to $12.6 billion at December&nbsp;31, 2004. We cannot
assure you that Peru will be able to maintain adequate foreign reserves to meet
its foreign currency denominated obligations or that Peru will not devalue its
currency should its foreign reserves decline.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Mexican inflation,
restrictive exchange control policies and fluctuations in the peso exchange
rate may&nbsp;adversely affect our financial condition and results of
operations.</font></i></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Although all of our Mexican operations&#146; sales of
metals are priced and invoiced in U.S. dollars, a substantial portion of our
Mexican operations&#146; cost of sales are denominated in pesos. Accordingly, when
inflation in Mexico increases without a corresponding devaluation of the peso,
as it did in 2000, 2001 and 2002, the net income generated by our Mexican
operations is adversely affected.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The annual inflation rate in Mexico was 3.3% in 2005,
5.2% in 2004 and 4.0% in 2003. The Mexican government has publicly announced
that it does not expect inflation to exceed 3.0% in 2006. At the same time, the
peso has been subject in the past to significant devaluation, which may&nbsp;not
have been proportionate to the inflation rate and may&nbsp;not be proportionate
to the inflation rate in the future. The value of the peso declined by 4.9% in
2005 and increased by 0.3% in 2004 and 9.0% in 2003.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">While the Mexican government does not currently
restrict the ability of Mexican companies or individuals to convert pesos into
dollars or other currencies, in the future, the Mexican government could impose
a restrictive exchange control policy, as it has done in the past. We cannot
assure you that the Mexican government will maintain its current policies with
regard to the peso or that the peso&#146;s value will not fluctuate significantly in
the future. The imposition of such exchange control policies could impair
Minera M&#233;xico&#146;s ability to obtain imported goods and to meet its U.S.
dollar-denominated obligations and could have an adverse effect on our business
and financial condition.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Ore reserves are those
estimated quantities of proven and probable material that may&nbsp;be
economically mined and processed for extraction of their mineral content. Ore
reserve estimates are based on engineering evaluations of assay values derived
from the sampling of drill holes and other openings. We believe that the
samplings taken are spaced at intervals close enough to render the estimates
reliable. The ore reserves estimates include assessments of the metallurgy to
determine copper recovery by flotation process and column leaching, as well as
economic, marketing, legal, environmental, governmental, and other necessary
considerations.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Annually our engineering
department reviews in detail the reserve computations. In addition, the
engineering department reviews the computation when changes in assumptions
occur. Changes can occur for price or cost assumptions, results in field
drilling or new geotechnical parameters. We also engage third party consultants
to review mine planning procedures.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Pursuant to SEC guidance,
the reserves information in this report are calculated using average metals
prices over the most recent three years unless otherwise stated. We refer to
these three-year average metals prices as &#147;current prices.&#148;&#160; Our current prices for copper are calculated
using prices quoted by COMEX, and our current prices for molybdenum are
calculated according to Platt&#146;s <i><font style="font-style:italic;">Metals Week</font></i>.
Unless otherwise stated, reserves estimates in this report use $1.261 per pound
for copper and $17.817 per pound for molybdenum, both current prices as of December&nbsp;31,
2005. The current prices for copper and molybdenum were $0.939 and $8.425 as of
December&nbsp;31, 2004 and $0.751 and $3.81
as of December&nbsp;31, 2003.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">For purposes of our long-term planning, our management
uses metals price assumptions of $0.90 per pound for copper and $4.50 per pound
for molybdenum. These prices are intended to approximate average prices over
the long term. Our management uses these price assumptions, as it believes
these prices reflect the full price cycle of the metals market.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">For Peruvian operations, commencing in 2003, we have
used reserves estimates based on current average prices as of the most recent
year then ended to determine the amount of mine stripping that is capitalized,
units of production amortization of capitalized mine stripping and amortization
of intangible assets. In calculating such items in the case of our Minera
Mexico subsidiary for periods prior to 2005, we have used reserves estimates
based on the longer-term price assumptions discussed above.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;">This
Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations and Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
relates to and should be read together with our Audited Consolidated Combined
Financial Statements as of and for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December&nbsp;31, 2005. Effective April&nbsp;1, 2005, Southern Copper
Corporation acquired substantially all of the outstanding common stock of
Minera M&#233;xico. The acquisition was accounted for in a manner similar to a
pooling of interests as it involved the reorganization of entities under common
control. Under such accounting, the financial statements of SCC and Minera
M&#233;xico are combined on a historical cost basis for all the periods presented
since they were under the indirect common control of Grupo M&#233;xico during such
periods. Therefore, unless otherwise noted, the discussion below of our
financial condition and results of operations is for us, including our Minera
M&#233;xico subsidiary, on a consolidated or combined basis for all periods. Our
combined financial results may&nbsp;not be indicative of the results of
operations that actually would have been achieved had the acquisition of Minera
M&#233;xico taken place at the beginning of the periods presented and do not purport
to be indicative of our future results.</font></i></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">OVERVIEW</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our business is primarily
the production and sale of copper. In the process of producing copper, a number
of valuable metallurgical byproducts are recovered, such as molybdenum, zinc,
silver, lead and gold, which we also produce and sell. The sales prices for our
products are largely determined by market forces outside of our control. Our
management, therefore, focuses on production enhancement and cost control to
improve profitability. We believe we achieve these goals through capital
spending programs, exploration efforts and cost reduction programs. Our aim is
to remain profitable during periods of low copper prices and to maximize
financial performance in periods of high copper prices.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We discuss below several
matters that our management believes are important to understand our results of
operations and financial condition. These matters include (i)&nbsp;our &#147;operating
cash costs&#148; as a measure of our performance, (ii)&nbsp;metals prices, (iii)&nbsp;our
recent acquisition of Minera M&#233;xico, (iv)&nbsp;our business segments and (v)&nbsp;the
effects of inflation and other local currency issues.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="color:#3366FF;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" color="black" face="Times New Roman" style="color:windowtext;font-size:10.0pt;">Since our inception, we have principally maintained
operations in Peru. However, in recent years, we have refocused our plans and
began steps to internationalize our business and broaden our market exposure.
In 2003, we acquired exploration properties in Chile, which are being evaluated
for potential exploitation. Beginning in 2004, we began tolling copper into rod
in Amarillo, Texas. The biggest step, in the new focus, however, is the
acquisition of Minera Mexico, see Minera Mexico acquisition below.</font></p>

<p style="color:#3366FF;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" color="black" face="Times New Roman" style="color:windowtext;font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><u><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Operating Cash Costs</font></u></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">An overall benchmark used
by us and a common industry metric to measure performance is operating cash
costs per pound of copper produced. Operating cash cost is a non-GAAP measure
that does not have a standardized meaning and may&nbsp;not be comparable to
similarly titled measures provided by other companies. A reconciliation of our
cash cost per pound to the cost of sales (including depreciation, amortization
and depletion) as presented in the statement of earnings is presented under the
subheading, &#147;Non-GAAP Information Reconciliation,&#148; below. We have defined
operating cash cost per pound as cost of sales</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">(including depreciation,
amortization and depletion); plus selling, general and administrative charges,
treatment and refining charges; less byproducts revenue, depreciation,
amortization and depletion, workers&#146; participation and other miscellaneous
charges, the Peruvian royalty charge and the change in inventory levels;
divided by total pounds of copper produced and purchased by us. In our
calculation of operating cash cost per pound of copper produced, and purchased,
we credit against our costs, the revenues from the sale of byproducts,
principally molybdenum, zinc and silver. We account for this byproduct revenue
because we consider our principal business to be the production and sale of
copper. We believe that our company is viewed by the investment community as a
copper company, and is valued, in large part, by the investment community&#146;s
view of the copper market and our ability to produce copper at a reasonable
cost. The increase over the last three years in the price of molybdenum,
however, has had a significant effect on our traditional calculation of cash
cost and its comparability between periods. Accordingly, we present cash costs
below with and without crediting the byproduct revenues against our costs.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We exclude from our
calculation of operating cash cost depreciation, amortization and depletion,
which are considered non-cash expenses. Exploration is considered a
discretionary expenditure and is also excluded. Workers&#146; participation
provisions are determined on the basis of pre-tax earnings and are also
excluded. Additionally excluded from operating cash costs are inventory
changes, items of a non-recurring nature, and the portion of our mine stripping
costs that we capitalize.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our operating cash costs
per pound, as defined, are presented in the table below for the three years
ended December&nbsp;31, 2005. We present cash costs with and without the
inclusion of byproduct revenues below.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">A reconciliation of our
operating cash costs per pound to our GAAP cost of sales is presented on page&nbsp;A-77

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The reduction in the cash
costs per pound of copper produced and purchased (including byproduct revenue)
in 2005 and 2004 is to a large extent attributable to the increase in the
molybdenum sales price. The credit to the above costs for molybdenum sales
amounted to $0.617 per pound, $0.412 per pound and $0.102 per pound, in 2005,
2004 and 2003, respectively. The cash cost without byproduct revenue increased
in 2005 and 2004 as a result of cost increases, including the cost of petroleum
products, purchased electricity, maintenance expenses and the cost of replacement
parts. In addition, the higher copper prices in 2005 and 2004 also increased
our computation of cash cost, as we include in our calculation the cost of
purchased metal. The higher value and accordingly the higher cost of copper in
these years, increased our cash cost by $0.017 in 2004 and by a further $0.053
in 2005. Additionally, we believe our operating cash costs will increase in
2006 and the near-term years as a result of the EITF consensus, which we
adopted on January&nbsp;1, 2006 and is described below under &#147;Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates&#150;Capitalized Mine Stripping Costs and
Leachable Material&#148;. If we had applied this consensus in 2005, 2004 and 2003
our pound operating cash cost would have increased by $0.075, $0.056 and
$0.052, respectively.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On April&nbsp;1, 2005, we
acquired Minera M&#233;xico from Americas Mining Corporation, a subsidiary of Grupo
M&#233;xico, our controlling stockholder. Minera M&#233;xico is the largest mining
company in Mexico and the eleventh largest copper producer in the world on a
stand-alone basis. On April&nbsp;1, 2005, we exchanged 67,207,640 newly-issued
shares of our common stock for the outstanding shares of Minera M&#233;xico&#146;s direct
majority stockholder, and Minera M&#233;xico became our 99.1% owned subsidiary. As a
part&nbsp;of this transaction, on March&nbsp;1, 2005, we paid a special
transaction dividend of $100 million to all of our stockholders. Upon
completion of the merger, Grupo M&#233;xico increased its indirect beneficial
ownership of our capital stock from approximately 54.2% to approximately 75.1%.
On October&nbsp;20, 2005, our board of directors approved the acquisition of
6,386,521 shares of Minera Mexico from Grupo Mexico. The acquired shares
represent 0.81833% of the outstanding shares of Minera Mexico and were
purchased for $30.3 million.</font></p>

independently. With this acquisition, we have increased our total copper
reserves by 107%, or 23,199&nbsp;million tons, based on year-end 2004 reserves,
and have increased our annual copper production by 81%, equivalent to 320,000

single industry, the copper industry. With the acquisition of Minera Mexico in April&nbsp;2005,
we determined that to effectively manage our business we needed to focus on
three operating segments. These segments are our Peruvian operations, our
Mexican open-pit operations and our Mexican underground operations, known as
our IMMSA unit. Our Peruvian operations include the Toquepala and Cuajone mine
complexes and the smelting and refining plants, industrial railroad and port
facilities which service both mines. Our Mexican open-pit operations include La
Caridad and Cananea mine complexes, the smelting and refining plants and support
facilities which service both mines. Our IMMSA unit includes five underground
mines that produce zinc, lead, copper, silver and gold, a coal and coke mine,
and several industrial processing facilities for zinc, copper and silver.</font></p>

of the Peruvian Nuevo Sol and the Mexican Peso</font></u></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our functional currency
is the U.S. dollar. Portions of our operating costs are denominated in Peruvian
nuevos soles and Mexican pesos. Since our revenues are primarily denominated in
U.S. dollars, when inflation/deflation in Peru or Mexico is not offset by a
change in the exchange rate of the nuevo sol or the peso, respectively, to the
dollar, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows could be
adversely affected to the extent that the inflation/devaluation effects are
passed onto us by our suppliers or reflected in our wage adjustments. In
addition, the dollar value of our net monetary assets denominated in nuevos
soles or pesos can be affected by devaluation of the nuevo sol or the peso,
resulting in a remeasurement loss in our financial statements. Recent inflation
and devaluation rates are provided in the table below.</font></p>

Modernization:&#160; Our largest outstanding
short-term capital investment project is the Ilo smelter modernization. The
project is part&nbsp;of our Environmental Compliance and Management Program
(known by its Spanish acronym, PAMA), which was approved by the Peruvian
government in 1997. The project will modernize the smelter and is targeted to
capture no less than 92% of sulfur dioxide emissions, in compliance with Peru&#146;s
environmental requirements. The project is moving ahead on schedule&nbsp;with
detailed engineering completed and construction work in process in order to be
completed by the end of 2006. The anode casting wheel part&nbsp;of this project
is being hot tested and starting in the first quarter of 2006 we will replace
Ilo blister production with anodes. This will allow us to directly feed the
refinery and eliminate the current cost of re-melting blister into anode form.
The budget approved for this project is $500 million, including $389.0 million
expended through December&nbsp;31, 2005. We have budgeted $87.5 million for
this project in 2006 excluding capitalized interest.</font></p>

Project: <b><i><font style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">&#160;</font></i></b>To improve cost containment and
production efficiency, in 2003 we started a project at Toquepala to install a
crushing, conveying and spreading system at the leach dumps. The approved
budget for this project is $81 million, with $75.5 million expended through December&nbsp;31,
2005. The new system is expected to improve recovery at our leaching facilities
and will largely eliminate costly truck haulage in the process. The project is
94% complete at December&nbsp;31, 2005. The primary crusher was placed in
operation in August&nbsp;2005. The overland conveyors 1, 2 and 3, and the
grasshoppers 30 and 31 were put in the production line. The conveying reached its
rated capacity of 6,500 ton/hr. in September&nbsp;2005. The construction of the
ramp will continue until final completion of the project, expected in August&nbsp;2006.</font></p>

Cananea unit&#146;s production of electrolytic copper by building a new SX/EW plant,
(SXEW III). The plant will produce electrolytic copper cathodes of ASTM grade 1
or LME grade A. The project includes the installation of storage for
deliverables required for operation of the plant and the installation of an
emergency power plant and a fire protection system. The project is currently
underway. In its first stage, it is expected to produce 10,500 tons of
additional copper by the end of 2007. Studies for a 22,900 ton subsequent
expansion of the SX/EW plant are also underway. As the Cananea mine has the
largest quantity of our copper reserves we are studying several possibilities
for expanding it to a scale that fully maximizes its potential. The approved
budget for this project, including the subsequent 22,900 tons expansion, is $90
million, of which $2.3 million has been expended through December&nbsp;2005.</font></p>

obligation will be the supply of coal from our reserves and an agreement to use
the power output. We expect this plant will give us the ability to
substantially reduce and control our power cost, as we will supply coal from
our mines. We believe we will be able to reduce the swings caused by the
variation in the international price of energy, a major element of our
operating cost. The project, expected to be finished in 2008, will create
nearly 900 permanent jobs, 3,000 jobs during the construction stage, and will
exceed Mexican and international environmental standards. We also have

Changes in estimates are recognized in accordance with the accounting rules&nbsp;for

reasonably possible that actual results could materially differ from amounts
estimated include: carrying value of the ore reserves that are the basis for
future cash flows estimates and units-of-production depreciation and
amortization calculations; revenue recognition; capitalized mine stripping
costs and leachable material; and asset retirement obligations. We base our

</font></i></b>For purposes of our long-term planning, our management
uses metal price assumptions of $0.90 per pound for copper and $4.50 per pound
for molybdenum. These prices are intended to approximate average prices over
the long term. Ore reserves based on these prices are the basis for our
internal planning, including the preparation of the mine plans for our mines.
Our management uses these price assumptions, as it believes these prices
reflect the full price cycle of the metals market.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">However, pursuant to SEC
guidance, the reserves information in this report is calculated using average
metals prices over the most recent three years, except as otherwise stated. We
refer to these three-year average metals prices as &#147;current average prices.&#148;&#160; Our current average prices for copper are
calculated using prices quoted by COMEX, and our current average prices for
molybdenum are calculated according to <i><font style="font-style:italic;">Platt&#146;s</font></i>  <i><font style="font-style:italic;">Metals Week</font></i>. Unless otherwise stated,
reserves estimates in this report use $1.261 per pound for copper and $17.817
per pound for molybdenum, both current average prices as of December&nbsp;31,
2005. The current average prices for copper and molybdenum were $0.939 and
$8.425, respectively, as of December&nbsp;31, 2004 and $0.751 and $3.81,
respectively, as of December&nbsp;31, 2003.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Certain financial
information is based on reserve estimates calculated on the basis of current
average prices. These items include the amount of mine stripping that is
capitalized, units of production amortization of capitalized mine stripping and
amortization of intangible assets. For our Peruvian mines, commencing in 2003,
and for our Mexican operations commencing in 2005 we have used reserve
estimates based on current average metals prices as of the most recent year
then ended to determine these items. In the case of prior periods we have used
reserves estimates based on a price assumption of $ 0.90 per pound of copper
and $ 4.50 per pound of molybdenum.</font></p>

Stripping Costs and Leachable Material</font></u>:<b><i><font style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">&#160;
</font></i></b>In carrying out our mining operations, we are required to
remove waste material to access mineral deposits. Because the concentration of
mineral deposits is not evenly distributed throughout the ore body, there are
periods during the life of the mine in which we mine more waste as compared to
ore produced, and periods during which we mine less waste as compared to ore
produced. These mining costs are commonly referred to as &#147;stripping&#148; costs.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">For each of our existing
mines in the production stage, our mine engineers have calculated a
life-of-mine stripping ratio that represents our estimate of the total amount
of waste to be removed at each mine divided by the estimated total proven and
probable reserves at such mine. The mine stripping ratios are used to determine
the amount of mine production costs to be charged against earnings. In periods
when the actual ratio of waste to mineral ore extracted exceeds the
life-of-mine stripping ratios, we capitalize production costs associated with
mining operations in proportion to the excess waste mined. Such capitalized
costs are included in net capitalized mine stripping, and are amortized to
operations using the units of production method. This charge to operations for
the amortization of deferred stripping costs could differ materially between
reporting periods to the extent that there were material changes in the value
of proven and probable reserves. Copper resources contained in piles of
leachable materials that have been extracted from the mines are not included in
the determination of units of production amortization. Conversely, in periods
when the actual ratio of waste to mineral ore mined is less than the
life-of-mine stripping ratio, we reduce the net capitalized mine stripping
asset proportionally with a charge to amortization expense. During periods we
are stripping at the higher rates, increased mining costs associated with the

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">tonnages are incurred.
Costs of this nature are necessary in a mining operation to ensure the
availability of mineable ore in future periods. The deferred stripping
accounting method has been generally accepted in the mining industry where
mining operations have diverse grades and waste-to-mineral ore ratios; however,
industry practice does vary.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">At the March&nbsp;17,
2005 meeting of the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF), the EITF reached a
consensus that stripping costs incurred during the production phase of a mine
are variable production costs that should be included in the costs of the
inventory produced (extracted) during the period that the stripping costs are incurred.
The EITF noted that the consensus does not address the accounting for stripping
costs incurred during the pre-production phase of a mine. The consensus with
respect to this issue was ratified by the FASB on March&nbsp;30, 2005, and will
be effective for the first reporting period in fiscal years beginning after December&nbsp;15,
2005, with early adoption permitted. In its June&nbsp;15-16, 2005 meeting, the
EITF also approved a modification to the transition provisions. On January&nbsp;1,
2006 we adopted this consensus by reversing $499.5 million of net cumulative
capitalized stripping cost and capitalized leach inventory as of December&nbsp;31,
2005 and recording a net charge of $322.9 million to retained earnings after
recognition of workers&#146; participation and tax benefit of $176.6 million. In
addition, near-term future operating income could be negatively impacted on the
extent that costs previously capitalized are expensed.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">If we were to have
expensed all production stripping costs and capitalized leaching costs associated
with our mining operations as incurred, net operating cost would have increased
by $43.0 million, $56.3 million and $53.9 million for the years ended December&nbsp;31,
2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.</font></p>

obligations requires management to make estimates unique to each mining
operation of the future costs we will incur to complete the reclamation and
remediation work required to comply with existing laws and regulations. These
estimates are based on inflation assumptions using the U.S. Consumer Price
Index and using our risk-free credit rate (which is based on our credit

estimated. Additionally, future changes to environmental laws and regulations
could increase the extent of reclamation and remediation work required to be
performed by us. Any such increases in future costs could materially impact the
amounts charged to operations for reclamation and remediation.</p>

products), generally ranging between one and three months subsequent to
shipment. In such cases, revenue is recorded at a provisional price at the time
of shipment. The provisionally priced copper sales are adjusted to reflect
forward copper prices based on LME or COMEX prices at the end of each month
until a final adjustment is made to the price of the shipments upon settlement
with customers pursuant to the terms of the contract. In the case of molybdenum

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Mine copper production was 1,521.0 million
pounds in 2005, a decrease of 3.9% from 2004. This decrease of 61.9 million
pounds included a decrease of 87.6 million pounds from the Peruvian open pit
operations and 5.0 million pounds in the Mexican underground mines, which were
partially offset by an increase of 30.7 million pounds from the Mexican open
pit mines.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The decrease of 87.6 million pounds in the
Peruvian mines was the result of lower ore grades at the Cuajone and Toquepala
mines and lower PLS grade in the SX/EW operation. The decrease of 5.0 million
pounds in the Mexican underground mines was due to lower ore grades. The
increase of 30.7 million pounds in production from the Mexican open pit mines
was principally due to higher throughput in La Caridad mine and higher recovery
and an increase in SX-EW production due to higher quantities of PLS treated and
higher power efficiency.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Molybdenum production increased from 31.7
million pounds in 2004 to 32.6 million pounds in 2005. This 2.8% increase in
production was mainly the result of an increase in the Mexican production, due
to higher recoveries.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Mine zinc production amounted to 316.6 million
pounds in 2005, an increase of 21.6 million pounds or 7.3% over the 2004
period. The increase was due to the resumption of production at IMMSA&#146;s Santa
Eulalia unit. Santa Eulalia&#146;s operations were suspended from 2000 through 2004
as the facilities were being modernized. The work at the Santa Eulalia mine was
delayed due to liquidity issues of Minera Mexico in some years prior to 2004.
Increased 2005 production from Santa Eulalia amounted to 27.6 million pounds.
Grade decreases at our other zinc mines reduced somewhat the increase from
Santa Eulalia. In January&nbsp;2006 an electrical fire at a power sub-station
at the San Luis Potosi zinc refinery shut down operations. After evaluating the
damage, we expect to restore 50% of the production in the second quarter of
2006 and the remaining 50% at the end of the third quarter. In the interim we
are selling zinc concentrates. Due to a shortage of zinc concentrate, the
Company is able to receive favorable terms on these sales and expect that the
overall return will be favorable. In addition, insurance coverage is expected
to cover the cost of repairs, equipment replacement and any loss on production.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Copper made up 66.6% of
net sales in 2005 compared with 68.1% in 2004. Sales of byproducts in 2005
totaled $1,373.6 million compared with $987.8&nbsp;million in 2004, an increase
of 39.1%. The increase is principally attributable to significantly increased
sales of molybdenum, resulting from the 94.7% increase in the average market
price for molybdenum in 2005 compared with 2004. In addition to increased metal
prices, increased mine production was also a factor in increasing our byproduct
sales in 2005, molybdenum production for 2005 was 32.6 million pounds compared
with 31.7 million pounds in 2004, an increase of 3%. The table below provides
the sales of our byproducts as a percentage of our total net sales.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our cost of sales
(exclusive of depreciation, amortization and depletion) in 2005 was $1,635.4
million, compared with $1,334.3 in 2004, an increase of $301.1 million, or
22.6%. The principal elements of the cost of sales increase are a $72.5 million
increase in the cost of purchased electric power and fuel, an increase of $27.2
million for mining royalties, and a $125.6 million increase in worker&#146;s
participation, including an adjustment of $36.3 million, related to a change in
the method of calculating the amount of the statutory worker&#146;s participation
for the Mexican workers, see &#147;Liquidity and Capital Resources&#148; for a discussion
of this matter. In addition, the higher value of copper in 2005 increased our
cost of sales by $16.2 million over 2004, as we supplemented our copper
production with copper acquired from third parties.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">During 2005, in response
to an industry wide shortage of mine truck tires we put in place a tire
rationalization program to optimize our tire usage. The program, which
includes; road maintenance improvements; closer tire maintenance monitoring,
including temperature and pressure checks; and stricter truck handling
procedures; was in place for 2005 and resulted in an 18% reduction in tire
consumption when compared to 2004. While we expect the supply deficit to be
resolved by mid-2007, we continue to monitor the supply situation for this
vital commodity and expect to satisfy our needs through prudent consumption
practices and the development of alternative supply sources, if necessary.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We expect that cost of
sales will increase in 2006 and the near future years as a result of our
adoption, on January&nbsp;1, 2006, of the EITF&#146;s, consensus related to mine
stripping costs. See Critical Accounting and Estimates &#150; Capitalized Mine
Stripping and Leachable Material.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our selling, general and
administrative expense in 2005 was $81.1 million, compared with $71.8 million
in 2004, an increase of $9.3 million. Our higher selling, general and
administrative expense in 2005 was principally a result of higher legal,
auditing and consulting fees related in part&nbsp;to the acquisition of Minera
Mexico, to the issuance of new debt, and to the cost associated with compliance
with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In addition, the Peruvian tax on bank transfers
was $1.4 million higher in 2005.</font></p>

amortization and depletion expense in 2005 was $277.2 million, compared with
$192.6 million in 2004, an increase of $84.6 million. The increase was
principally the result of the increase in the amortization of capitalized mine
stripping costs and leachable materials of $37.0 million and an increase in
depreciation related to replacement capital expenditures.</font></p>

was $108.9 million compared with $106.5 million in 2004, an increase of $2.4
million. Our currently paid interest expense decreased in 2005 principally as a
result of a reduction of our debt outstanding. However, included in 2005 there
was $15.0 million for the write-off of previously capitalized debt issuance
cost for financings prepaid in such years. With respect to our financing
programs reference is made to &#147;Liquidity and Capital Resources&#148; for a further

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Net sales at our Peruvian
operations in 2005 were $2,179.9 million, compared with $1,715.9 million in
2004, an increase of $464.0 million. This increase was principally due to
significant increases in the price of copper and molybdenum. Copper sales
volume decreased by 39.0 million pounds in 2005 principally as a result of
lower production at Toquepala and Cuajone due to lower ore grade and a decrease
in SX/EW production due to lower PLS grades.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Operating costs and
expenses at our Peruvian operations in 2005 were $879.4 million, compared with
$788.8 in 2004, an increase of $90.6 million principally due to higher cost of
sales. The increase in cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation, amortization
and depletion) of $83.8 was principally the result of the higher cost of fuel,
workers&#146; participation provision and Peruvian royalty charges.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Fuel costs, a key
component of our costs, were higher by $31.4 million in 2005. Our cost for
workers&#146; participation increased $27.6 million in 2005. This cost is calculated
based on 8% of our Peruvian operations pre-tax earnings and increased as our
profits increase. A Peruvian royalty provision which was instituted in June&nbsp;2004
added $22.7 million to our cost in 2005.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Net sales from our
Mexican open-pit operations in 2005 were $1,769.6 million, compared with
$1,189.7 million in 2004, an increase of $579.9 million or 48.7%. The increase
in net sales was principally a result of significant increases in the price of
copper and molybdenum and increased sales volume.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Operating cost and
expenses at our Mexican open-pit operations in 2005 was $1,054.2 million
compared with $665.9 million in 2004, an increase of $388.3 million or 58.3%.
This increase was principally the result of higher cost of sales and higher
depreciation, amortization and depletion in 2005. The increase in cost of sales
of $288.4 million was principally the result of higher sales volumes, increased
fuel and purchased electric power cost, increased maintenance cost, higher
purchased metal costs, higher exchange losses, and increased workers
participation. Production and sales volume increases added to our 2005 costs,
as did an increase of $104.0 million for purchased metals from third parties.
Our cost for workers&#146; participation, including an adjustment of $36.3 million,
increased $106.1 million in 2005. This cost is calculated based on 10% of
pretax earnings and increases as our profits increase. Fuel and purchased
electric power cost were higher by $31.4 million in 2005. Maintenance cost was
also higher by $38.9 million in 2005. In addition, an exchange loss of $18.5
million was reported in 2005 as a result of the appreciation of the peso
against the U.S. dollar during the year. The increase in depreciation,
amortization and depletion of $85.7 million in 2005 was principally due to the
amortization of capitalized mine stripping and leachable cost.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Net sales at our IMMSA
unit in 2005 were $448.7 million, compared with $317.1 million in 2004, an
increase of $131.6 million or 41.5%. The increase was due to higher sales
prices in 2005 for copper, zinc and silver. In addition, an increase in sales
volume of copper and zinc added to the 2005 sales increase. Zinc from our
reopened Santa Eulalia mine added 22.7 million pounds to 2005 zinc sales.</font></p>

expenses at our IMMSA unit were $380.3 million in 2005, compared with $272.9
million in 2004, an increase of $107.4 million or 39.4%. This increase was
principally the result of increased sales volumes for copper and zinc, the
higher cost of fuel and purchased electric power, higher volume of metal
purchased from third parties and an increase in the cost of contractor
services. In 2005, cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation, amortization and
depletion) increased $99.7 million, principally as a result of higher
production and sales volumes for copper and zinc, which included an increase of
$64.6 million for purchased metals from third parties.</font></p>

were $3,096.7 million, compared with $1,576.6 in 2003, an increase of $1,520.1
million or 96.4%. The increase was principally attributed to significant
increases in metals prices in 2004, particularly those of copper, for which our
average sales prices rose 67.9%, and molybdenum, for which our sales prices
rose 286.3%. In addition to increased metals prices, increased mine production
was also an important factor in increasing our net sales in 2004. Copper
production for 2004 was 718,007 tons, compared with 665,916 tons in 2003, an
increase of 7.8%.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">All four of our open-pit
copper mines recorded increased output in 2004 compared with 2003. The Cananea
mine recorded the most significant increase of 20.7%, equivalent to 29,003
additional tons of copper, primarily due to a 29.3% increase in mill
throughput. The Toquepala mine registered the second highest production
percentage increase of 6.8%, contributing an additional 12,849 tons of copper.
The increase in production at the Toquepala mine was primarily attributable to
a higher ore grade of 0.817% in 2004 compared with 0.749% in 2003. The Cuajone
and La Caridad mines also delivered higher production output with Cuajone
contributing an additional 9,861 tons and La Caridad contributing an additional
3,454 tons in 2004 compared with 2003. Cuajone&#146;s additional output was
primarily as a result of higher ore grades, while La Caridad&#146;s higher output
was as a result of increased production despite marginally lower ore grades.
Copper made up 68.1% of our net sales in 2004 compared with 74.7% in 2003.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our cost of sales in 2004 was $1,334.3 million,
compared with $992.4 million in 2003, an increase of $341.9 million or 34.5%.
Our higher cost of sales was principally due to increased production in 2004.
As discussed above, copper mine production for 2004 increased 7.4% with all
four of our open-pit copper mines registering increased output in 2004 compared
with 2003. Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation, amortization and
depletion) also increased as a result of increases in the prices of certain
inputs, including power, maintenance expenses and certain replacement parts.
Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation, amortization and depletion)
additionally increased in 2004 as a result of an increase in the volume and
cost of the copper concentrate we purchased from third parties in 2004. We
purchase concentrate from third parties in order to produce additional copper
rods for which we receive premium pricing, as well as to meet our commitments
to customers. The cost of this purchased copper, acquired at prevailing market
prices, was $69.9 million in 2004, compared with $25.0 million in 2003. The
increase in the cost of purchased copper resulted from the increased volume
purchased and from the increase in the price of copper.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Other factors contributing to the increased costs in
2004 included a provision of $17.6 million for the recently enacted mining
royalty charge in Peru. This mining royalty charge will be 1% to 3% based on
sales applicable to the value of concentrates produced in the Toquepala and
Cuajone mines.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We expect that cost of sales will increase in the near
future years as a result of the recently issued Emerging Issues Task Force, or
EITF, consensus, which we describe above under &#147;Critical Accounting Policies
and Estimates &#150; Capitalized Mine Stripping Costs and Leachable Material.&#148;</font></p>

was $71.8 million, compared with $63.6 million in 2003, an increase of $8.2
million or 12.9%. Our higher selling, general and administrative expense in
2004 was principally as a result of $13.8 million in management fees paid to
Grupo M&#233;xico. The increase in management fees payable to Grupo M&#233;xico is
largely attributable to the transfer of some corporate staff from Minera M&#233;xico
to Grupo M&#233;xico. Such management fees, which were not payable in 2003, were
partially offset by a payroll reduction of $2.7 million and a reduction in
lease expenses of $2.6 million. Management fees include corporate, legal,
accounting, finance, and commercial and similar costs.</font></p>

$15.5 million or 8.8%. Depreciation, amortization and depletion expense
increased principally as a result of the increase in the amortization of
capitalized mine stripping costs and leachable materials of $10.6 million. The
increase was also as a result of an increase in maintenance capital
expenditures. In addition, the depreciation expense increased $6.2 million as a
result of a larger amount of capital expenditures incurred in 2004. Our total

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Net sales at our Peruvian operations in 2004 were
$1,715.9 million, compared with $798.4 million in 2003, an increase of $917.5
million or 114.9%. This increase in net sales was principally due to
significant increases in the price of copper and molybdenum. In addition,
copper sales volume increased by 37.3 million pounds in 2004 as production
increased at both the Toquepala and Cuajone mines. Increased throughput at the
Toquepala mill and better recoveries and higher ore grades treated at both
mills increased copper production by 28,340 tons. This increase was partially
offset by decrease of 5,631 tons in SX/EW copper production caused by lower PLS
grades. The volume of sales of molybdenum and silver, the principal byproducts
of our Peruvian operations, also increased in 2004. We anticipate a reduction
in the volume of 2005 copper production of approximately 8% at our Peruvian
operations as a result of an expected decline in ore grade at our Cuajone mine.</font></p>

operations in 2004 were $788.8 million, compared with $581.6 million in 2003,
an increase of $207.2 million or 35.6%. The increase was a result of higher
sales volume, higher cost of fuel and power, an increase in the workers&#146;
participation provision, a new Peruvian royalty charge and increased
depreciation, amortization and depletion.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Sales of copper from our Peruvian mines in 2004
increased by 21.6 million pounds compared with 2003 and sales of copper
processed up from purchased third party material increased by 15.7 million
pounds. We pay prevailing market prices for this purchased material, which were
significantly higher in 2004. Cost of copper purchased from third parties
increased to $49.7 million in 2004 from $6.1 million in 2003. Power and fuel
costs, a key component of our costs, were significantly higher in 2004. Our
provision for workers&#146; participation increased by $67.5 million in 2004. This
cost is calculated based on 8% of our Peruvian operations pre-tax earnings and
increases as our profits increase. A provision for a new Peruvian royalty added
$17.6 million to our costs in 2004. This Peruvian royalty was put in place in
mid-year 2004 and will continue to affect our 2005</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Net sales from our Mexican open-pit operations in 2004
were $1,189.7 million, compared with $649.3 million in 2003, an increase of
$540.4 million or 83.2%. The increase in net sales was principally a result of
significant increases in the price of copper and molybdenum and increased sales
volume. Copper sales volume increased by 55.1 million pounds in 2004 compared
with 2003 as production at both open-pit mines increased. The Cananea mine
recorded the most significant increase, 20.7%, equivalent to 29,003 additional
tons of copper, primarily due to a 29.3% increase in mill throughput. The La
Caridad mine increased production of copper in 2004 by 3,454 tons, primarily
because of higher mill recoveries.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Operating costs and expenses at our Mexican open-pit
operations in 2004 were $665.9 million, compared with $548.6 million in 2003,
an increase of $117.3 million or 21.4%. The increase was principally the result
of higher sales volumes, increased fuel and power costs, and increased cost and
consumption of other production inputs and increased maintenance activity. In
2004, sales of copper produced and sales of copper processed from third party
material increased. Copper purchased from third parties increased by $37.0
million in 2004. Copper purchased from IMMSA in 2004 amounted to $87.5 million.
In addition, a devaluation of the Mexican Peso caused an increase of $17.8
million in 2004&#146;s reported exchange loss. Our Mexican open-pit operation paid
management fees of $4.5 million to Grupo M&#233;xico in 2004 and 2003.</font></p>

million, compared with $230.9&nbsp;million in 2003, an increase of $86.2
million or 37.3%. This increase was due to higher sales prices in 2004 for
copper, zinc and silver, its principal products. In addition, an increase in
sales volume of copper and silver added to the 2004 sales increase.</font></p>

$272.9 million in 2004, compared with $218.9 million in 2003, an increase of
$54.0 million or 24.7%. This increase was the result of increased sales volume
of copper and silver and increases in power and fuel and other operating costs,
and contractor services. Cost of copper purchased from third parties increased
to $89.6 million in 2004 from $22.8 million in 2003. 2004 purchases include
$11.1 million from our Mexican open-pit operations. In addition, a devaluation
of the Mexican Peso caused an increase in the reported exchange loss of $2.1
million in 2004. Our IMMSA unit paid management fees of $2.3 million to Grupo
M&#233;xico in 2004 and 2003.</font></p>

in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increases in 2005 and 2004 were for
the most part&nbsp;the result of higher net earnings in both years, which were
the result of improved prices for our products and for copper and molybdenum in
particular.</font></p>

were $1,400.1 million, approximately 85.2% of the net operating cash flow.
Significant non-cash items deducted from, or added to, our earnings included,
depreciation, amortization and depletion of $277.2 million, which positively
increased operating cash flow; and capitalized mine stripping and leachable
material of $116.4 million and a deferred tax benefit of $42.3 million, which
reduced operating cash flow. Additionally, changes in working capital balances
added a further $89.1 million to our net cash from operating activities.</font></p>

Significant non-cash items deducted from, or added to, our earnings included,
depreciation, amortization and depletion of $192.6 million and a deferred tax
provision of $54.4 million, which positively increased our operating cash flow;
and capitalized mine stripping and leachable material of $92.8 million which
decreased our operating cash flow. In addition, $53.5 million a gain from the
sale of non-core Mexican properties is deducted from earning to arrive at
operating cash flow, the contribution of these funds is included in investing
cash flows. Changes in working capital assets and liabilities increased net
operating cash flow by $70.2 million. Some of these working capital accounts
included some rather large changes in 2004, the growth of accounts receivable
reduced operating cash flow by $261.3 million, which was the result of the
improvement in metal prices from the beginning of 2004 to the end. LME and

molybdenum increased by $10.80 per pound during 2004. Improving operating cash
flow was the build up of payables and accruals during 2004, largely as a result
of increased worker participation and income tax provisions driven by higher

Considerations</font></i></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In June&nbsp;2004, the
Peruvian Congress enacted legislation imposing a royalty charge to be paid by
mining companies in favor of the regional governments and communities where
mining resources are located. Under the new law, we are subject to a 1% to 3%
charge, based on sales, applicable to the value of the concentrates produced at
our Toquepala and Cuajone mines. We made a provision of $40.3 million and $17.6
million in 2005 and 2004 respectively, for this new charge, which went into
effect as of June&nbsp;25, 2004. During 2005 we made payments of $47.4 million
related to this charge. In addition, the Constitutional Tribunal stated that
this charge applied to all concessions held in the mining industry. We believe
that this interpretation is incorrect and intend to protest an imposition of
the royalty charge on our SX/EW production, which is operating under a tax
stability agreement (&#147;Guaranty and promotional Measures for Investment Contract&#148;).
Provisions made by the Company for the royalty charge do not include
approximately $5.9 million of additional potential liability relating to its
SX/EW production from June&nbsp;30, 2004 through December&nbsp;31, 2005. It is
anticipated that the royalty charge will have an adverse effect on our
operating income and cash flow.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On January&nbsp;26, 2006,
the Board of Directors approved a dividend of $2.75 per share, totaling $404.9
million, to be paid on March&nbsp;3, 2006.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">While our combined
financial results show a positive cash position over the past three years, our
Minera M&#233;xico subsidiary, which we acquired on April&nbsp;1, 2005, has faced
challenges to its liquidity as a result of low metals prices in previous years.
These challenges resulted in its noncompliance with certain debt covenants in
2001 and 2002. In April&nbsp;2003 Minera M&#233;xico restructured certain of its
indebtedness, entering into a common agreement among Minera M&#233;xico, Minera
M&#233;xico&#146;s principal subsidiaries (as guarantors) and the holders of such
indebtedness. Minera M&#233;xico paid amounts owing under this agreement with
proceeds from a new credit facility established in October&nbsp;2004. See &#147;Financing&#148;
below.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In May&nbsp;2005, the
Mexican Supreme Court rendered a decision that changed the method of computing
the amount of statutory workers&#146; profit sharing required to be paid by some
Mexican companies, including our Minera M&#233;xico subsidiary. The Supreme Court&#146;s
ruling in effect prohibited the application of net operating loss carryforwards
in computing the income used as the base for determining the workers&#146; profit
sharing amounts. We recognized in our 2005 results of operations a charge of
$36.3&nbsp;million for workers&#146; profit participation related to 2004. In
addition, the ruling may&nbsp;affect our future results of operations and
liquidity to the extent we pay higher workers&#146; profit sharing amounts.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">At December&nbsp;31,
2005, we had outstanding borrowings of $1,178.3 million (before deduction of
$6.3 million of debt discount valuation accounts), compared with $1,330.3 million
at December&nbsp;31, 2004. At December&nbsp;31, 2005, our outstanding debt as a
percentage of total capitalization (the total of debt, minority interest and
stockholders&#146; equity) was 26.0%, compared with 32.0% at December&nbsp;31, 2004.
At December&nbsp;31, 2005, our cash and marketable securities amounted to
$876.0 million, compared with $756.0 million at December&nbsp;31, 2004.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Below we describe our
outstanding long-term indebtedness, as well as certain financial covenants that

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On July&nbsp;27, 2005 SCC
issued $200 million 6.375% Notes due 2015 and $600 million 7.5% Notes due 2035.
The notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The net proceeds
from the issuance and sale of the notes were used to repay outstanding
indebtedness of our Peruvian and Mexican Operations, under its $200 million and
$600 million ($480 million outstanding) credit facilities, respectively, and
the balance will be used for general corporate purposes. SCC filed a
Registration Statement on Form&nbsp;S-4 with respect to these Notes on October&nbsp;28,
2005. On January&nbsp;3, 2006 the Company completed an exchange offer for $200
million, 6.375% Notes due 2015 and $600 million, 7.5% Notes due 2035. In the
exchange offer, $197.4 million of the 6.375% old notes due 2015 were tendered
in exchange for an equivalent amount of new notes and an aggregate of $590.5
million of the 7.5% old</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">notes due 2035 were
tendered in exchange for an equivalent amount of new notes. The new notes have
been registered under the U.S. securities law. The indentures relating to the
notes contain certain covenants, including limitations on liens, limitations on
sale and leaseback transactions, rights of the holders of the notes upon the
occurrence of a change of control triggering event, limitations on subsidiary
indebtedness and limitations on consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances.
All of these limitations and restrictions are subject to a number of
significant exceptions, and some of these covenants will cease to be applicable
before the notes mature if the notes attain an investment grade rating. At December&nbsp;31,
2005, we are in compliance with these covenants.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In January&nbsp;2005, the
Company signed a $200 million credit facility with a group of banks led by
Citibank, N.A. Proceeds of this credit facility were used to prepay $199
million the outstanding bonds of the Company&#146;s Peruvian bond program. On July&nbsp;28,
2005, a portion of the proceeds from the July&nbsp;27, 2005 financing, noted
above, were used to repay this facility.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In 1998, Minera M&#233;xico
issued $500 million of unsecured debt, which we refer to as its Yankee bonds.
The Yankee bonds were offered in two series: Series&nbsp;A for $375 million,
with an interest rate of 8.25% and a 2008 maturity, and Series&nbsp;B for $125
million, with an interest rate of 9.25% and a 2028 maturity date. During 2005,
the Company repurchased $143.0 million of the Series&nbsp;A bonds. The bonds contain
a covenant requiring Minera Mexico to maintain a ratio of EBITDA to interest
expense of not less than 2.5 to 1.0, as such terms are defined by the bonds. At
December&nbsp;31, 2005, Minera Mexico is in compliance with this covenant.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In 1999, the Company
established a $100 million credit facility with Mitsui&nbsp;&amp; Co. The
facility has a 15-year term with an interest rate of Japanese LIBO plus 1.25%
(Japanese LIBO for this loan was 4.67% at December&nbsp;31, 2005). The facility
is collateralized by the assignment of copper sales receivables of 31,000 tons
of copper per year and requires an escrow account to fund scheduled payments.
The facility requires that we maintain a minimum stockholders&#146; equity of $750
million and a ratio of debt to equity no greater than 0.5 to 1.0, all as such
terms are defined by the facility. Reduction of Grupo M&#233;xico&#146;s direct or
indirect voting interest in our Company to less than a majority would
constitute an event of default under the facility. At December&nbsp;31, 2005,
we are in compliance with these covenants.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On October&nbsp;29, 2004,
Minera Mexico borrowed $600 million pursuant to a facility with a final
maturity date in 2009. The credit facility bore interest at LIBOR plus 200
basis points. The proceeds from the credit facility were used to repay in full
the amounts outstanding under a common agreement with holders of Minera Mexico&#146;s
secured export notes and other financial institutions. The loan was secured by
a pledge of Minera Mexico&#146;s principal properties and was guaranteed by its
principal subsidiaries. In 2005, the Company prepaid the total amount of this
financing, using in part&nbsp;proceeds from the July&nbsp;27, 2005 Note
issuance.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">While we recently prepaid
all amounts outstanding under our Peruvian bond program, we are authorized by
Peru&#146;s <i><font style="font-style:italic;">Comisi&#243;n Nacional Supervisora de
Empresas y Valores</font></i> (CONASEV) to issue additional bonds.</font></p>

purchase power for our Peruvian operations from Energ&#237;a del Sur, S.A. until

which are subject to change as energy generation costs change and our

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">A portion of our
outstanding debt bears interest at variable rates and accordingly is sensitive
to changes in interest rates. Interest rate changes would also result in gains
or losses in the market value of our fixed rate debt portfolio due to
differences in market interest rates and the rates at the inception of the debt
agreements. Based upon our indebtedness at December&nbsp;31, 2005, a change in
interest rates of 1 percent (or 100 basis points) would impact net income and
cash flows by $0.8 million annually.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We are also exposed to
market risk associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates as
certain costs incurred are in currencies other than our functional currency. To
manage the volatility related to the risk, we may&nbsp;enter into forward
exchange contracts, currency swaps or other currency hedging arrangements. We
have only had limited involvement with derivative instruments and do not use
them for trading purposes.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We are subject to market
risks arising from the volatility of copper and other metal prices. Assuming
that expected metal production and sales are achieved, that tax rates are
unchanged, and giving no effects to potential hedging programs metal price
sensitivity factors would indicate estimated change in net earnings resulting
from metal price changes in 2006 as provided in the table below.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">The consolidated combined financial statements
presented herein consist of the accounts of Southern Copper Corporation (&#147;SCC&#148;)
(formerly named Southern Peru Copper Corporation) and its subsidiaries as well
as those of Minera M&#233;xico, S.A. de C.V., (&#147;MM&#148;) and its subsidiaries. Effective
April 1, 2005, SCC acquired substantially all of the outstanding common stock
of Minera Mexico, as further described below.&#160;
Unless the context otherwise requires, the term &#147;Company&#148; refers to both
SCC and Minera Mexico as consolidated (after March 31, 2005) or combined (prior
to April 1, 2005).</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">Effective April 1, 2005, Grupo M&#233;xico, through its
subsidiary, sold its approximately 99.15% shareholding in Minera Mexico to SCC
in return for the issuance to AMC of 67.2 million new shares of common stock of
SCC.&#160; The transaction resulted in Grupo
M&#233;xico increasing its indirect equity ownership in SCC to approximately 75.1%
from its prior indirect interest of approximately 54.2%.&#160; As part of this transaction, SCC paid a
special transaction cash dividend of $100 million on March 1, 2005.&#160; On October 20, 2005, the Company&#146;s board of
directors approved the acquisition of 6,386,521 shares of Minera Mexico from
Grupo Mexico.&#160; The acquired shares
represent 0.81833% of the outstanding shares of Minera Mexico and were
purchased for $30.3 million.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">The acquisition of Minera Mexico by SCC is
accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests since it involved
the reorganization of entities under common control.&#160; Under such accounting, the financial
statements of Minera Mexico and SCC are combined on a historical cost basis for
all the periods presented since they were under common control during all of
these periods.</font></p>

and other minerals, and operates mining, smelting and refining facilities in
Peru and Mexico.&#160; The Company conducts
its primary operations in Peru through a registered branch (the &#147;Branch&#148;).&#160; The Branch is not a corporation separate from
the Company.&#160; The Company&#146;s Mexican
operations are conducted through subsidiaries.</font></p>

conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.&#160; Significant items subject to such estimates
and assumptions include the carrying value of ore reserves that are the basis
for future cash flow estimates and units-of-production depreciation and
amortization calculations; environmental, reclamation, closure and retirement
obligations; estimates of recoverable copper in mill and leach stockpiles;
asset impairments (including estimates of future cash flows); bad debts;
inventory obsolescence; deferred and current income tax; valuation allowances
for deferred tax assets; reserves for contingencies and litigation; and fair
value of financial instruments.&#160;

molybdenum products, customers are given the option to select a monthly average
LME or COMEX price (as is the case for sales of copper products) or the
molybdenum oxide proprietary price of Platt&#146;s Metal Week (as is the case for
sales of molybdenum products), generally ranging between one and six months
subsequent to shipment.&#160; In such cases,
revenue is recorded at a provisional price at the time of shipment.&#160; The provisionally priced copper sales are
adjusted to reflect forward copper prices based on LME or COMEX prices at the
end of each month until a final adjustment is made to the price of the
shipments upon settlement with customers pursuant to the terms of the
contract.&#160; In the case of molybdenum
sales, for which there are no published forward prices, the provisionally
priced sales are adjusted to reflect the market prices at the end of each month
until a final adjustment is made to the price of the shipments upon settlement
with customers pursuant to the terms of the contract.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">The Company periodically reevaluates estimates of its
ore reserves, which represent the Company&#146;s estimate as to the amount of
unmined copper remaining in its existing mine locations that can be produced
and sold at a profit.&#160; Such estimates are
based on engineering evaluations derived from samples of drill holes and other
openings, combined with assumptions about copper market prices and production
costs at each of the respective mines.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">The Company updates its estimate of ore reserves
at the beginning of each year. In this calculation the Company uses current
metal prices which are defined as the average metal price over the preceding
three years. However, in the case of the Company&#146;s recently acquired Mexican
subsidiary, ore reserve estimates prior to 2005 were calculated based on a
copper price of $0.90 per pound of copper. The current per pound of copper
price, as defined, was $0.939, $0.751 and $0.76 at the beginning of 2005, 2004
and 2003, respectively.&#160; These ore
reserve estimates are used to determine the amount of mine stripping that is
capitalized, units of production amortization of capitalized mine stripping and
amortization of intangible assets.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the
guidance of the Emerging Issues Task Force, ratified by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board in March 2005, which stated that stripping costs
incurred during the production phase of a mine are variable production costs
and should be included in the cost of inventory produced (extracted) during the
period that the stripping costs are incurred.&#160;
See Impact of New Accounting Standards.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">Stripping costs are costs associated with the
removal of waste materials after production has commenced.&#160; Over the life of the mine, stripping costs
are deferred in periods when the actual ratio of waste materials to mineral ore
extracted is above the life-of-mine stripping ratio, which represents the
Company&#146;s estimate of the total amount of waste to be incurred divided by the
estimated total proven and probable reserves.&#160;
In periods when the actual mine stripping ratio is below the
life-of-mine stripping ratio, the Company reduces the net capitalized mine
stripping asset proportionally with a charge to amortization expense.&#160; In addition, deferred mine stripping costs
are amortized using the units of production method based on proven and probable
ore reserves.&#160; Copper resources contained
in piles of leachable materials that have been extracted from the mines are not
included in the determination of units of production amortization.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">The Company&#146;s policy results in the smoothing of
stripping costs over the life of the mine and, in the view of the Company,
better facilitates the matching of mine production costs over the life of the
mine with the mine&#146;s revenues.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">Stripping costs are assessed for recoverability as
part of property, plant and equipment and reviewed whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable.&#160; If recoverable value has fallen below
carrying value, the asset is written down to its recoverable value.</font></p>

the cost of materials with low copper content extracted during the mining
process (leachable material), which is collected in areas known as leaching
dumps.&#160; The amortization of the
capitalized costs is determined based on the depletion period of the leaching
dumps, which is estimated to be five years (unaudited).</font></p>

the acquisition of Minera Mexico the Company continues to operate principally
in one industry, the mining of copper.&#160;
However, because of the demands of managing operations in two countries,
effective April 1, 2005, Company management views the new Southern Copper as
having three operating segments and manages on the basis of these
segments.&#160; The segments identified by the
Company are: 1) Peruvian operations, which include the two open pit copper
mines in Peru and the plants and services supporting such mines.&#160; 2) Mexican open pit mines, which include La
Caridad and Cananea mine complexes and their supporting facilities.&#160; 3) The Mexican underground mining operations,
which include five underground mines that produce zinc, copper, silver and
gold, a coal and coke mine, several industrial processing facilities.&#160; Additionally, in mining copper the Company
produces a number of metal by-products, most important of which are molybdenum,
silver and zinc.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, &#147;Accounting for
Asset Retirement Obligations&#148; (SFAS No. 143).&#160;
This statement requires the fair value of a liability for an asset
retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred.&#160; The cumulative effect of this change in
accounting principle, net of taxes, was a charge to earnings of $1.5 million
and is shown separately on the consolidated combined statement of
earnings.&#160; In addition, as part of this
cumulative adjustment, the Company recorded an asset retirement obligation
liability of $4.9 million, increased net property by $2.5 million and recorded
deferred tax and workers&#146; participation benefits of $0.9 million.&#160; The adoption of this new principle resulted
in an additional charge to earnings from continuing operations of $0.5 million
for 2003 and has been included as an operating cost in the consolidated
combined statement of earnings.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">On March 17, 2005 Emerging Issues Task Force, or
EITF, reached a consensus in the issue 04-06, &#147;Accounting for Stripping costs
Incurred during Production in the Mining Industry&#148;, which was ratified by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board, or &#147;FASB&#148;, on March 30 2005 and the
subsequent modification to the transition provisions approved by the EITF in
its June 15-16 2005 meeting.&#160; The
consensus states that stripping costs incurred during the production phase of a
mine are variable production costs that should be included in the costs of the
inventory produced (extracted) during the period that the stripping costs are
incurred.&#160; On January 1, 2006 the Company
adopted this consensus by reversing $499.5 million of net cumulative
capitalized stripping cost and capitalized leach inventory cost as of December
31, 2005 and recording a net charge of $322.9 million to retained earnings
after the recognition of a workers participation and tax benefit of $176.6 million.&#160; In addition, near-term future years operating
income could be negatively impacted to the extent that costs previously
capitalized are expensed.</font></p>

Interpretation No. 47 &#147;Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations&#148;
(FIN 47).&#160; FIN 47 clarifies that the term
<i><font style="font-style:italic;">conditional asset retirement obligation</font></i>
as used in SFAS No. 143, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset
retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are
conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the
entity.&#160; Accordingly, an entity is
required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset
retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably
estimated.&#160; Uncertainty about the timing
and/or method of settlement of a conditional asset retirement obligation should
be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information
exists.&#160; This interpretation also
clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably
estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation.&#160; FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of
fiscal years ending after </font></p>

Error Corrections a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3&#148;
(&#147;SFAS No. 154&#148;), which changes the requirements for the accounting for and
reporting of a change in accounting principle and redefines restatement as the
revising of previously issued financial statements to reflect the correction of
an error.&#160; SFAS No. 154 requires
retrospective application to prior periods&#146; financial statements of changes in
accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine the
period-specific effects of the cumulative effect of the change.&#160; This Statement also carries forward without
change the guidance contained in Opinion 20 for reporting the correction of an
error in previously issued financial statements and a change in accounting
estimate.&#160; This Statement does not change
the transition provisions of any existing accounting pronouncement. SFAS No.
154 will be effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in

Issues Task Force (EITF) on Issue N&#176; 04-13, &#147;Accounting for Purchases and Sales

The consensus concluded that two or more legally separate exchange
transactions with the same counterparty should be combined and considered as a
single arrangement for accounting purposes, if they are entered into &#147;in
contemplation&#148; of one another.&#160; The EITF
also reached a consensus that non monetary exchanges of inventory within the
same business should be recognized at fair value.&#160; The consensus reached on EITF Issue N&#176;. 04-13

existing arrangements, in reporting periods beginning after March 15,
2006.&#160; The Company is currently

during 2003, the Company capitalized $3.0 million in costs associated with
establishing an asset retirement obligation for a portion of its long-lived
assets in Peru.&#160; These assets include a
dam on the Torata River, close to the Cuajone mine, and the SX/EW
facility.&#160; The asset retirement
obligations were established based on the Company&#146;s environmental impact
studies for these projects.&#160; The
retirement obligations for the dam are based on a weighting of two options

local municipality and provide maintenance for a number of years or demolish
the dam and restore the river to its natural course.&#160; The retirement obligation for the SX/EW
facility requires a dismantling of the plant and reclamation of the
property.&#160; The Company has not designated
specific assets to satisfy these obligations but will provide funds from
operations.&#160; There were no additional
costs capitalized in 2004 associated with asset retirement obligations.</font></p>

estimate of the asset cost associated with establishing an asset retirement
obligation for its Peruvian mine closure plan.&#160;
These costs are being depreciated on a straight line basis over the life
of the related assets.&#160; As for the
Mexican operations, the adoption of SFAS No. 143 did not have a material effect
on the Company&#146;s financial position or results of operations.&#160; Management does not believe that there are
any significant legal obligations for asset retirements in Mexico as of
December 31, 2004 and 2005.&#160; Please also

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">The effective tax rate presented above is a
combined effective tax rate for SCC including Minera Mexico.&#160; From prior years&#146; reports, the statutory
income tax rate has changed from an expected tax of 35% to 30% since the major
component of the provision for income taxes is from the foreign jurisdictions
of Peru and Mexico.&#160; For all of the years
presented, both companies filed separate tax returns in their respective tax
jurisdictions.&#160; Although the tax rules
and regulations imposed in the separate tax jurisdictions may vary
significantly, similar permanent items exist, such as the impact of changes in
statutory tax rates, and income and expense items which are nondeductible or
nontaxable.&#160; Several items above are
particular to the tax rules in Mexico or specific events related to Minera Mexico,
such as the tax inflation effect, which requires that inflation be recognized
for tax purposes (where it is not for financial reporting purposes), and the
loss of tax benefits upon a corporate reorganization undertaken by Minera Mexico
in 2003.&#160; Other items relate specifically
to SCC such as the percentage depletion.&#160;
The impact of the change in the valuation allowance reflects the change
in valuation allowances for the combined companies which is further described
below.</font></p>

carryforward available to reduce possible future U.S. income tax amounted to
approximately $49.0 million, expiring as follows: $19.0 million in 2007, $10.4
million in 2008, and $19.6 million in 2015.&#160;
No foreign tax credit carryforwards expired in 2005 or 2004. &#160;For years beginning after October 22, 2004,
unused foreign tax credits generated in years beginning after this date may be
carried back only one year, but can now be carried forward ten years.</font></p>

of 2004 was enacted in the U.S.&#160; This law
repealed the 90% limitation on the utilization of foreign tax credits when
calculating the Company&#146;s alternative minimum tax (&#147;AMT&#148;).&#160; The repeal is effective in 2005.&#160; Although the new law was not effective until
2005, under SFAS No.&nbsp;109, the effect of the law change is required to be
reflected in the period that includes the enactment date.&#160; As a result, $9.5&nbsp;million of previously

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">In December 2003, the Peruvian government
established a new tax rate of 30% for years beginning after 2003.&#160; Although this new rate did not affect the
current 2003 tax expense, the change in the tax rate required that the deferred
Peruvian assets and liabilities be re-valued at the tax rate expected to apply
when these assets and liabilities are realized.&#160;
Accordingly, the Company recorded a charge of $10.1 million in
additional deferred tax expense in 2003.</font></p>

approved on November 13, 2004, the income tax rate was further reduced from the
33% rate applicable in 2004 to a 30% rate in 2005, and it will be gradually be
reduced by 1% per year until it reaches 28% in 2007.&#160; In addition, effective fiscal year 2005,
there is a change in the tax treatment of the inventory purchases for the
year.&#160; Under the new law, cost of sales
will be deductible instead of inventory purchases.&#160; The tax deduction for employees&#146; statutory
profit sharing amounts and the obligation to withhold taxes on dividends paid
to individuals and foreign residents was also eliminated.&#160; The impact of the reduction in the corporate
income tax rate as a result of the tax law changes in 2004 resulted in a
reduction in tax expense of $21.6&nbsp;million in 2004.</font></p>

rate to Minera Mexico&#146;s asset position, as defined by the law, and is payable
only to the extent that it exceeds the income tax payable for the same
period.&#160; If in any year asset tax exceeds
the income tax payable, the asset tax payment for such excess may be reduced by
the amount by which the income tax exceeded the asset tax in the three
preceding years and any required payment of the asset tax is creditable against
the excess of the income tax over the asset tax of the following 10&nbsp;years.</font></p>

significant liquidity and financial performance difficulties which resulted in
defaults of various debt covenants.&#160;
Therefore, prior to 2002, a valuation allowance was established for
substantially all of its net operating loss and asset tax carryforwards since
it was uncertain as to whether those carryforwards might be used.&#160; The valuation allowances were reversed in 2003
as Minera Mexico undertook its financial and corporate restructuring, and
financial performance improved.&#160; As of
December 31, 2005, the remaining tax loss carryforwards totaled $9.4&nbsp;million.
&#160;As of December 31, 2005, the remaining

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">In 2005 the Company added an asset retirement
obligation for its mining properties in Peru, as required by the Mine Closure
Law, enacted in 2003 and regulated in 2005.&#160;
This law requires the Company to present a mine closure plan to the
Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines (&#147;MEM&#148;) by August 2006.&#160; This plan will be subject to review and
approval by MEM and open to public discussion and comment in the area of the
Company&#146;s operations.&#160; In application of
SFAS No. 143 and according to the criteria established by FIN-47, the Company
has made an estimate of this potential liability and recorded such liability,
based on its review of the law.&#160; However,
we cannot assure that this liability will be adequate until our mine plan is presented,
reviewed and accepted by MEM.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">The closure cost recognized for this liability
includes the estimated cost required at the Peruvian operations, based on the
Company&#146;s experience and includes cost at the Ilo smelter, the tailing
disposal, dismantling of the Toquepala and Cuajone concentrators, shops and
auxiliary services.&#160; In this connection
we recorded an additional asset retirement liability in 2005 of $5.2 million
for this new law and increased net property $4.6 million.</font></p>

retirement obligation for the two years ended December 31, 2005 (in millions):</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">In 1998, Minera Mexico issued $500 million of
unsecured debt, which are referred to as Yankee bonds.&#160; These bonds were offered in two series:
Series A for $375 million, with an interest rate of 8.25% and a 2008 maturity,
and Series B for $125 million, with an interest rate of 9.25% and a 2028
maturity date.&#160; During 2005, the Company
repurchased $143.0 million of the Series A bonds.&#160; In connection with this purchase the Company
paid a premium of $8.6 million, which is included in the consolidated combined
statement of earnings on the line &#147;Loss on debt prepayments&#148;.&#160; The bonds contain a covenant requiring Minera
Mexico to maintain a ratio of EBITDA to interest expense of not less than 2.5
to 1.0 as such terms are defined by the facility. &#160;At December 31, 2005, Minera Mexico is in
compliance with this covenant.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">In 1999, SCC entered a $100&nbsp;million, 15-year
loan agreement with Mitsui.&#160; The interest
rate for this loan is the Japanese LIBO rate plus 1.25% (Japanese LIBO for this
loan at December 31, 2005 was 4.67%).&#160;
The Mitsui credit agreement is collateralized by pledges of receivables
on 31,000 tons of copper per year.&#160; The
Mitsui agreement requires the Company to maintain a minimum stockholders&#146;
equity of $750 million and a specific ratio of debt to equity.&#160; Reduction of Grupo M&#233;xico&#146;s direct or
indirect voting interest in the Company to less than a majority would
constitute an event of default under the Mitsui agreement. &#160;At December 31, 2005, the Company is in
compliance with these covenants.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">On October 29, 2004, Minera Mexico borrowed
$600&nbsp;million pursuant to a new credit facility with a final maturity date
in 2009.&#160; The new credit facility bore
interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points. &#160;The proceeds from the new credit facility were
used to repay in full the amounts outstanding under a common agreement with
holders of Minera Mexico&#146;s secured export notes and other financial
institutions.&#160; The loan was secured by a
pledge of Minera Mexico&#146;s principal properties and was guaranteed by its
principal subsidiaries.&#160; In 2005, the
Company prepaid the total amount of this loan.&#160;
In connection with the repayment of this facility, the Company wrote off
$10.2 million of deferred financing costs which is recorded in the consolidated
combined statement of earning on the line &#147;Interest Expense&#148;.</font></p>

into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount of $600 million to
hedge the interest rate risk exposure on its $600 million credit facility granted

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">In January 2005, the Company signed a $200 million
credit facility with a group of banks led by Citibank, N.A.&#160; Proceeds of this credit facility were used to
prepay $199 million the outstanding bonds of the Company&#146;s Peruvian bond
program.&#160; The Company capitalized $2.8
million of costs associated with this facility.&#160;
The Company paid a prepayment penalty of 1%, or $2.0 million, to the
Peruvian bondholders.&#160; Additionally, the
Company wrote off $2.3 million of previously capitalized bond issuance cost.&#160; The $2.0 million penalty and the $2.3 million
amortization of bond issuance costs are included in the earning statement under
&#147;Loss or debt prepayments&#148; and &#147;Interest expense&#148;, respectively.&#160; On July 28, 2005 this credit facility was
repaid and the Company wrote off $2.5 million of deferred financing cost.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">On July 27, 2005 the Company issued $200 million
6.375% Notes due 2015 at a discount of $1.1 million and $600 million 7.5% Notes
due 2035, at a discount of $5.3 million.&#160;
The notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company.&#160; The Company capitalized $8.8 million of costs
associated with this facility and are included in &#147;Other assets, net&#148;, non-current
on the Consolidated combined balance sheet.&#160;
The net proceeds from the issuance and sale of the notes were used to
repay outstanding indebtedness of the Company&#146;s Peruvian and Mexican
Operations, under its $200 million and $600 million ($480 million outstanding)
credit facilities, respectively, and the balance was used for general corporate
purposes.&#160; The Company filed a
Registration Statement on Form S-4 with respect to these Notes on October 28,
2005. &#160;On January 3, 2006 the Company
completed an exchange offer for $200 million, 6.375% Notes due 2015 and $600
million, 7.5% Notes due 2035.&#160; In the
exchange offer, $197.4 million of the 6.375% old notes due 2015 were tendered
in exchange for an equivalent amount of new notes and an aggregate of $590.5 million
of the 7.5% old notes due 2035 were tendered in exchange for an equivalent
amount of new notes.&#160; The new notes have
been registered under U.S. securities law. &#160;The indentures relating to the notes contain
certain covenants, including limitations on liens, limitations on sale and
leaseback transactions, rights of the holders of the notes upon the occurrence
of a change of control triggering event, limitations on subsidiary indebtedness
and limitations on consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances. &#160;All of these limitations and restrictions are
subject to a number of significant exceptions, and some of these covenants will
cease to be applicable before the notes mature if the notes attain an
investment grade rating.&#160; At December 31,
2005 the Company is in compliance with these covenants.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">The Company&#146;s funding policy is to contribute
amounts to the qualified plan sufficient to meet the minimum funding requirements
set forth in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, plus such
additional amounts as the Company may determine to be appropriate. Plan assets
are invested in commingled stock and bond funds.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">The Company&#146;s policy for determining asset mix-targets
includes periodic consultation with recognized third party investment
consultants.&#160; The expected long-term rate
of return on plan assets is updated periodically, taking into consideration
asset allocations, historical returns and the current economic
environment.&#160; Based on these factors we
expect our assets will earn an average of 4.5% per annum assuming our long-term
mix will be consistent with our current mix and an assumed discount rate of 5.5%.&#160; The fair value of plan assets is impacted by
general market conditions.&#160; If actual
returns on plan assets vary from the expected returns, actual results could
differ.</font></p>

for retirees was terminated and the Company informed retirees that they would
be covered by the then in effect post-retirement health care plan of ASARCO, a
former shareholder of the Company and a subsidiary of Grupo M&#233;xico, which
offered substantially the same benefits and required the same
contributions.&#160; The plan is accounted for
in accordance with SFAS No. 106, &#147;Employers&#146; Accounting for Postretirement Benefits
Other Than Pensions&#148;.</font></p>

purchased was reduced by $0.08 million and $0.5 million in 2004 and 2003,
respectively, and the excess paid over the carrying value was assigned to
intangible assets and is being amortized based on production.&#160; As a result of these acquisitions, the

purchase price of the interest acquired was less than its carrying value by
$31.8 million and, therefore, such negative goodwill was allocated as reduction
of the long-lived assets to be amortized based on production.&#160; This note was paid in full in February 2005.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">April 2005, the Constitutional Tribunal ruled the
royalty law to be constitutional and therefore applicable to mining activities
in Peru.&#160; In addition, the Company filed
a suit in the Lima Civil Court to protest the law as unconstitutional.&#160; On June 28, 2005 the court dismissed the
lawsuit and the Company has decided not to appeal.&#160; Under the new law, the Company is subject to
a 1% to 3% royalty, based on sales, applicable to the value of the concentrates
produced in our Toquepala and Cuajone mines.&#160;
The Company made provisions of $40.3 million and $17.6 million in 2005
and 2004 respectively, for this royalty which went into effect as of June 25,
2004.&#160; These provisions are included in &#147;Cost
of sales (exclusive of depreciation, amortization and depletion)&#148; on the
Consolidated combined statement of earnings.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">In its ruling, the Constitutional Tribunal additionally
stated that the royalty charge applies to all concessions held in the mining
industry, implying that those entities with tax stability contracts are subject
to this charge.&#160; In 1996, the Company
entered into a tax stability contract with the Peruvian government (a &#147;Guaranty
and Promotional Measures for Investment Contract&#148;) relating to our SX/EW
production, which agreement purports to, among other things, fix tax rates other
contributions relating to such production.&#160;
We believe that the Constitutional Tribunal&#146;s interpretation relating to
entities with tax stability contracts is incorrect and we intend to protest the
imposition of the royalty charge on our SX/EW production, when and if assessed.&#160; Provision made by the Company for the royalty
charge does not include approximately $5.9 million of additional potential
liability relating to its SX/EW production from June 30, 2004 through December
31, 2005.</font></p>

independent power company, Enersur S.A. (&#147;Enersur&#148;), for $33.6 million.&#160; In connection with the sale, a power purchase

agreement in June 2003, resolving certain issues that arose between the parties
and reducing power costs for the remaining life of the agreement.&#160; The Company made a one-time contractual
payment of $4.0 million to Enersur under terms of the new agreement.&#160; The new agreement releases Enersur from the
obligation to construct additional capacity upon notice to meet the Company&#146;s
increased electricity requirements from the planned expansion and
modernization.&#160; SCC believes it can
satisfy the need for increased electricity requirements from other sources,

Ministry of Energy and Mines, or MEM) conducts certain annual audits of the
Company&#146;s Peruvian mining and metallurgical operations. Through these

in order to elaborate the PAMA.&#160; The PAMA
applied to all current operations that did not have an approved environmental
impact study at the time. SCC&#146;s PAMA was approved in January 1997 and contains
34 mitigation measures and projects necessary to (1) bring the existing
operations into compliance with the environmental standards established by the
MEM and (2) identify areas impacted by operations that are no longer active and
need to be reclaimed or remedied.&#160; By the

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">pending PAMA projects all relate to the Ilo

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">The slag remediation program is progressing as
scheduled and is expected to be completed by 2007.&#160; With respect to the smelter emissions, the
third phase of the Ilo smelter modernization has started and is scheduled to be
completed by 2007.&#160; In July 2003, the
Company awarded the contract to provide the technology and basic engineering
for the modernization of the Ilo smelter to Fluor Chile S.A. and Xstrata plc
(formerly M.I.M. Holdings Limited).&#160; The
Company believes that the selected proposal complies with the current
environmental regulations.&#160; This project
is the Company&#146;s largest short-term capital investment project and is estimated
at $500 million, including $388.5 million expended through 2005.&#160; Beginning in 1995 and continuing while this
project is under construction, the Company has established an emissions
curtailment program that has allowed us to comply with the annual sulfur
dioxide air quality standard (established by the MEM in 1996) in the populated
areas of the city of Ilo.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">On October 14, 2003, the Peruvian Congress
published a new law announcing future closure and remediation obligations for
the mining industry.&#160; The law was amended
on May 28, 2004 and again on May 8, 2005.&#160;
The current modification establishes that mining companies submit their
mine closure plans within one year of publication of final regulations.&#160; On August 16, 2005 final regulations were
published and the Company has initiated the preparation of the required mine
closure plan.&#160; As part of the law and the
qualifying regulations the Company is also required to engage an independent
consulting entity to prepare the mine closure plan.&#160; The final plan, which is required by August
2006, is subject to approval by MEM and open to public discussion and comment
in the area of Company operations.&#160;
Additionally, the law requires companies to provide financial guarantees
to insure that remediation programs are completed.&#160; The Company anticipates that this law will
increase its asset retirement obligations and require future expenditures and
amortizations over the life of the mine to satisfy its requirements.&#160; The Company believes the liability for these
asset retirement obligations cannot currently be precisely measured, or precisely
estimated, until the Company has substantially completed its mine closure plan
and is reasonably confident that it will be approved by MEM in most material
respects.&#160; However the Company has made a
preliminary estimate of this liability and has recorded such amount in its 2005
financial results.&#160; Please see Note 9,
above.&#160; The Company believes that this
estimate should be viewed with caution, pending final approval of its mine
closure plan, expected later in 2006.</font></p>

environmental capital expenditures were $234.6 million, $65.5 million and $2.2
million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.&#160;
The Company foresees significant environmental capital expenditures in
2006.&#160; Approximately $87.5 million has

Mexico.&#160; In order to maintain compliance
with sulfur dioxide emissions standards promulgated under the Environmental Law
and the La Paz Agreement, Minera Mexico shut down the Cananea smelter and
operations at Monterrey in December&nbsp;1999, after which the plants were dismantled
and the Monterrey property was sold.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">Mexican environmental regulations have become
increasingly stringent over the last decade, and this trend is likely to
continue and may be influenced by the environmental agreement entered into by
Mexico, the United States and Canada in connection with NAFTA in February
1999.&#160; However, the Company&#146;s management
does not believe that continued compliance with the Environmental Law or
Mexican state environmental laws will have a material adverse effect on the
Company&#146;s business, properties, result of operations, financial condition or
prospects or will result in material capital expenditures.&#160; Although the Company believes that all of its
facilities are in material compliance with applicable environmental, mining and
other laws and regulations, the Company cannot assure you that stricter
enforcement of existing laws and regulations or the adoption of additional laws
and regulations would not have a material adverse effect on the Company&#146;s
business, properties, results of operations, financial condition or prospects.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">Due to the proximity of certain facilities of Minera
Mexico to urban centers, the authorities may implement certain measures that
may impact or restrain the operation of such facilities.&#160; Any enforcement action to shut down any such
facilities may have an adverse effect on the operating results of the relevant
subsidiary.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">The Company has instituted extensive environmental
conservation programs at its mining facilities in Peru and Mexico.&#160; The Company&#146;s environmental programs include
water recovery systems to conserve water and minimize contamination of nearby
streams, reforestation programs to stabilize the surfaces of the tailings dams
and the implementation of scrubbing technology in the mines to reduce dust
emissions.</font></p>

and Others vs. SCC</font></u><font face="Times New Roman">:&#160; In April 1996, the Company was served with a
complaint filed in Peru by approximately 800 former employees seeking the
delivery of 38,763,806.80 &#147;labor shares&#148; to be issued in a proportional way to
each in accordance with their time of work with SCC, plus dividends.&#160; The Company conducts its operations in Peru
through a registered Branch.&#160; Although
the Branch has neither capital nor liability separate from that of the Company,
under Peruvian law it is deemed to have an equity capital for purposes of
determining the economic interest of the holders of investment shares.&#160; The labor shares litigation is based on
claims of former employees for ownership of labor shares issued during the
1970s until 1989 under a former Peruvian mandated profit sharing system.&#160; We assert that the claims are meritless and
that the labor shares were distributed to the former employees in accordance
with the then in effect Peruvian profit sharing system. We do not believe that
an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible.&#160;
In 1971, the Peruvian Government enacted legislation providing that
workers in the mining industry would participate in the pre-tax profits of the
enterprises for which they worked at a rate of 10%.&#160; This participation was distributed to the
workers with 40% in cash and 60% as an equity interest in the enterprise. What
remains of the equity participation is now included in the consolidated
combined balance </font></p>

caption &#147;Minority interest.&#148;&#160; Under the
law, the equity participation was originally delivered to the &#147;Mining Community&#148;,
an organization representing all workers.&#160;
The cash portion was distributed to the workers after the close of the
year.&#160; The accrual for this participation
was (and continues to be) a current liability of the Company, until paid.&#160; In 1978, the law was amended and the equity
distribution was calculated at 5.5% of pre-tax profits and was made to
individual workers of the enterprise in the form of labor shares.&#160; These labor shares represented an equity
interest in the enterprise.&#160; In addition,
equity participations previously distributed to the &#147;Mining Community&#148; were
returned to the Company and redistributed in the form of labor shares to
individual employees or former employees.&#160;
The cash participation was adjusted to 4.5% of pre-tax earnings and
continued to be distributed to employees following the close of the year.
Effective in 1992, the law was amended to its present status.&#160; The workers participation in pre-tax profits
was set at 8%, with 100% payable in cash.&#160;
The equity participation component was eliminated from the law. In 1995,
the Company offered to exchange new common shares of the Company for the labor
shares issued under the prior Peruvian law.&#160;
Approximately 80.8% of the issued labor shares were exchanged for the
Company&#146;s common shares, greatly reducing the Minority interest on the Company&#146;s
balance sheet.&#160; Since 1995, the Company
has periodically purchased labor shares on the open market.&#160; In 1998, labor shares were renamed &#147;investment
shares.&#148;&#160; At December 31, 2005, the
investment share interest in the Company&#146;s Peruvian Branch amounted to 0.71%.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As
stated above, in April 1996, the Company was served with a complaint filed in
Peru by approximately 800 former employees seeking the delivery of a
substantial number of &#147;labor shares&#148; (now referred to as &#147;investment shares&#148;)
of its Peruvian Branch plus dividends on such shares.&#160; This amount corresponds to the total number
of labor shares for the full Company workers, and the complaint is seeking to
have such shares issued to the plaintiffs in proportional way to each in
accordance with their time of work with the Company, plus dividends on such
shares.&#160; In December 1999, a civil court
of first instance of Lima decided against the Company, ordering the delivery of
the investment shares and dividends to the plaintiffs.&#160; The Company appealed this decision in January
2000.&#160; On October 10, 2000, the Superior
Court of Lima affirmed the lower court&#146;s decision, which had been adverse to
the Company. On appeal by the Company, the Peruvian Supreme Court annulled the
proceeding noting that the civil courts lacked jurisdiction and that the matter
had to be decided by a labor court.&#160; The lower court dismissed the lawsuit in
January 2005.&#160; The plaintiffs have
appealed to the superior court.</font></p>

been filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery (New Castle County) late in
December 2004 and early January 2005 relating to the acquisition of Minera Mexico
by SCC.&#160; On January 31, 2005, the three

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">The consolidated complaint alleges, among other
things, that the acquisition of Minera Mexico is the result of breaches of
fiduciary duties by the Company&#146;s directors and is not entirely fair to the
Company and its minority stockholders.&#160;
The consolidated complaint seeks, among other things, a preliminary and
permanent injunction to enjoin the acquisition, the award of damages to the

deems equitable, including interest, attorneys&#146; and experts&#146; fees and

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In July 1991, the Mexican agricultural community of Pilares de Nacozari
Ejido, (&#147;Ejido&#148;), commenced an action in the first federal district court in
Sonora, Mexico, against the Mexican Ministry of Agrarian Reform, (&#147;the Ministry&#148;).&#160; The action alleged improper expropriation of
approximately 1,500 hectares of land adjacent to the La Caridad mine in which
certain of Mexcobre&#146;s (a subsidiary of Minera Mexico) facilities are currently
located.&#160; Mexcobre was not named as a
defendant in the action although it was included as an interested third party
due to its ownership of the land.&#160;
Mexcobre bought the land in question in 1976 from the <i><font style="font-style:italic;">Banco Nacional de Obras y Servicios P&#250;blicos</font></i>, which had
previously acquired it as a beneficiary of the expropriation by the Ministry in
1973 and has alleged legal and physical impossibility of returning the land.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">After two previous rulings stating that it is impossible to return the
land as a means of restitution, a third and final ruling from the Mexican
Appellate District Court instructed the district court judge to resolve the
legal and material impossibility of returning the land as a means of
restitution.&#160; The district court judge
ruled that it is only partially impossible to physically return the land and
ruled that legal impossibility has not been proved.&#160; Mexcobre has filed a complaint against this
ruling.&#160; This matter was finally settled
amongst both parties, Ejido and Mexcobre, by entering and ratifying an
agreement before the First Federal District Court in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico,
on January 16, 2006, terminating the case.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">When Mexcobre originally received mining concessions related to its La
Caridad unit in 1970, it was required to pay royalties to the Council of Mineral
Resources, which is referred to as &#147;Coremi&#148;.&#160;
When the Mining Law came into effect in 1992, this obligation was
terminated.&#160; However, Coremi, the Mexican
Superintendent of Mining and the Mexican Secretary of Economy, did not concede
that the royalty obligation to Coremi was terminated and, in 1995, Coremi
initiated a series of legal actions that are still pending.&#160; In August 2002, Coremi filed with the Third
Federal District Judge in Civil Matters, an action demanding from Mexcobre the
payment of royalties since 1997.&#160;
Mexcobre answered and denied Coremi&#146;s claims in October 2002 and
currently is in the discovery stage (&#147;<i><font style="font-style:italic;">etapa de ofrecimiento de
pruebas</font></i>&#148;).&#160; On December 21,
2005, an initial settlement was reached as follows; royalties for 2005 of $8.5
million were duly paid, as for the royalties from the third quarter of 1997 to
the last quarter of 2004, a partial payment of $6.2 million was made on January
11, 2006, however, litigation will continue in order that a Court establishes if
any additional amount is to be paid.&#160; We
estimate that the payment made on January 11 will cover said ruling by
100%.&#160; The Company believes that any
further payment related to this matter will not be material.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">These actions are awaiting final resolutions.&#160; IMMSA believes that, should the outcome of

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">The Company is regularly audited by the federal,
state and foreign tax authorities both in the United States and
internationally.&#160; These audits can result
in proposed assessments.&#160; In 2002, the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has issued a preliminary Notice of Proposed Adjustment
for the years 1994 through 1996.&#160; In
2003, the Company settled these differences with the IRS and made a payment of
$4.4 million, including interest.&#160;
Generally, the years 1994 through 1996 are now closed to further
adjustment.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">The IRS has completed the field audit work for all
years preceding 2003 and currently is auditing only 2003.&#160; During the audit of the tax years 1997 though
1999, the IRS questioned the Company&#146;s accounting policy for determination of
useful lives, the calculation of deductible and creditable Peruvian taxes, the
methodology of capitalizing interest and the capitalizing of certain costs
(drilling, blasting and hauling) into inventory value as items for possible
adjustment.&#160; In the fourth quarter of
2003, the Company and the IRS had jointly requested technical advice from the
IRS National Office to help resolve the inventory value dispute.&#160; In August 2005 the National Office of the IRS
responded to the IRS field audit group&#146;s request for technical advice.&#160; The issuance of this technical advice
memorandum (TAM) allowed the IRS to close the field audit work of the audit
cycles 1997 through 1999 and 2000 through 2002.&#160;
The TAM accepts the position of the IRS field office and concludes that
the Company is required to capitalize mining costs to its leach dumps based on
the weight of material moved, without regard to metal content or
recoverability.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">On October 5, 2005 the Company filed a formal
protest with the IRS to appeal the proposed changes with respect to the TAM
conclusion, as well as other items of adjustment proposed by the IRS field
audit group.&#160; These other adjustments
include the methodology of capitalizing interest, the determination of useful
lives for depreciable property, the calculation of deductible and creditable
Peruvian taxes and the established service fee between the Company and related
parties.&#160; The Company believes that the
positions that it is reporting to the IRS are correct and appropriate.&#160; The Company believes that it has substantial
defenses to the proposed IRS adjustments and that adequate provisions have been
made so that resolution of any issues raised by the IRS will not have a
material </font></p>

Peru the &#147;Superintendencia Nacional de Administraci&#243;n Tributaria&#148; (SUNAT), the

received assessments and penalties from SUNAT for fiscal years 1996 through
1999, in which several deductions taken were disallowed. SUNAT has challenged
the Company&#146;s depreciation method and deduction of other expenses related to
charges incurred outside of Peru from 1996 through 1999, and the deduction of
certain exchange differences and interest expenses from 1997 through 1999.&#160; The Company appealed these various
assessments and resolution is still pending.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman"><font style="font-size:10.0pt;">In
February 2003, the Peruvian tax court confirmed SUNAT</font>&#146;</font>s assessments and penalties with regard to
depreciation and deductions of other expenses incurred outside of Peru for
fiscal years 1996 and 1997.&#160;
Consequently, the Company recognized an additional tax and workers participation
liability for fiscal years 1998 and 1999 on the amounts assessed by SUNAT.&#160; Therefore, in 2003 the Company recorded a
charge to workers&#146; participation, included in cost of sales (exclusive of
depreciation, amortization and depletion) on the statement of earnings and
income tax expense of $0.5 million and $4.4 million, respectively.&#160; The Company, however, has not recognized a
liability for penalties and interest assessed by SUNAT in connection with the
depreciation and other expenses deduction as it considers they are not
applicable.&#160; The status of the penalty
appeals and other tax contingencies is as follows:</p>

related to fiscal year 1996, the Company was required to issue a letter of
credit to SUNAT of $3.4 million, which was issued in July 2003.&#160; This deposit is recorded in other assets on
the consolidated combined balance sheet.&#160;
The Peruvian tax court denied the Company&#146;s appeal in February
2004.&#160; Consequently, in April 2004, the
Company filed a lawsuit against the Peruvian tax court and SUNAT in the
superior court of Peru.&#160; The Company was
not required to issue a deposit for appeal of assessments and rulings with
respect to any other years.&#160; In September,
2005 the Superior Court declared the Company&#146;s claim valid.&#160; SUNAT has appealed this decision to the Supreme
Court in Lima.</p>

related to fiscal year 1997, in November 2002 the Peruvian tax court indicated
that the penalty needed to be modified and declared the previously issued
penalty null.&#160; Consequently, SUNAT issued
a new penalty in December 2003.&#160; This
penalty and penalties related to fiscal years 1998 and 1999 have been protested
before SUNAT.&#160; The Company&#146;s appeal
before the Peruvian tax court related to the assessments (pertaining to the
deduction of certain interest expense) for fiscal year 1997 was denied. In this
regard, in May 2003, the Company filed a lawsuit before the superior court
against SUNAT and the Peruvian tax court, seeking the reversal of the ruling of
the tax court.&#160; In July, 2005 the
Superior Court remanded the case to SUNAT for a new pronouncement. SUNAT has
appealed the courts decision to the Supreme Court in Lima.</p>

Cuajone initiated work stoppages and sought additional wage increases based on
high metal prices.&#160; The strike was

contractual clauses. Such a review was performed and the workers returned to
work 18&nbsp;days later. On October 15, 2004, the workers of Mexicana de
Cananea went on strike, followed by the Mexicana de Cobre workers.&#160; The strike lasted for six days at Mexicana de

been recognized in equity as a reduction in additional paid-in capital. In
addition, Minera Mexico&#146;s historical common stock, treasury stock and
additional paid in capital accounts were eliminated and classified within SCC&#146;s
additional paid-in capital. Minera Mexico&#146;s retained earnings were carried
forward as reported to be combined with retained earnings of SCC.&#160; For the purpose of these financial
statements, the issuing of 67,207,640 shares have been reflected as if they had
been outstanding as of January 1, 2003.&#160;
Therefore, historical common stock and per share data presented herein
differs from that previously reported by SCC on a stand-alone basis.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">Southern Copper operates in a single industry,
namely mining copper.&#160; Prior to the April
1, 2005 acquisition of Minera Mexico, the Company determined that its
operations in Peru fell within one segment.&#160;
With the acquisition of Minera Mexico the Company continues to operate
principally in one industry, the mining of copper.&#160; However, because of the demands of managing
operations in two countries, effective April 1, 2005, Company management views
the new Southern Peru as having three operating segments and manages on the
basis of these segments.&#160; Additionally,
in mining copper the Company produces a number of metal byproducts, most
important of which are molybdenum, silver and zinc.&#160; The significant increase in the price of
molybdenum over the past three years has had an important impact on the Company&#146;s
earnings.&#160; Nevertheless, the Company
continues to manage its operations on the basis of the three copper
segments.&#160; Added to the segment information
is information regarding the Company&#146;s molybdenum sales.&#160; The segments identified by the Company are:</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We have completed integrated audits of Southern
Copper Corporation&#146;s and its subsidiaries 2005 and 2004 consolidated combined
financial statements and of its internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2005, and an audit of its 2003 consolidated combined financial
statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States).&#160; Our
opinions, based on our audits, are presented below.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated combined balance sheets
and the related consolidated combined statements of earnings, changes in
stockholders&#146; equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of Southern Copper Corporation's and its subsidiaries at
December 31, 2005 and December&nbsp;31, 2004, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December&nbsp;31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.&#160;
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company&#146;s
management.&#160; Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.&#160; We conducted our audits of these statements
in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States).&#160; Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.&#160; An audit of financial statements includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.&#160; We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">A company&#146;s internal control over financial
reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.&#160; A company&#146;s internal control
over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(i)&nbsp;pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets
of the company; (ii)&nbsp;provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
(iii)&nbsp;provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company&#146;s
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Because of its inherent limitations, internal
control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.&#160; Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may
become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">There was no change in
the Company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is
defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and&nbsp;15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended) that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2005
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company&#146;s internal controls over financial reporting.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><u><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">MANAGEMENT&#146;S REPORT ON
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING</font></u></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Management is responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the
Company.&#160; Under the supervision and with
the participation of management, including the Company&#146;s principal executive
officer and principal financial officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of
the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting based on the
framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organization of the Treadway Commission.&#160;
Based on the evaluation made under this framework, management concluded
that as of December 31, 2005 such internal control over financial reporting is
effective.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Because of its inherent
limitations, internal control over financial reporting, may not prevent or
detect misstatements.&#160; Also, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness for future periods are subject to the risk
that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the
degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our management&#146;s
assessment of the effectiveness of the Company&#146;s internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 has been audited by
PricewaterhouseCoopers, an independent registered public accounting firm, as
stated in their report which appears herein.</font></p>

the opinion of Southern Copper Corporation, (the &#147;Company&#148;, &#147;Southern Copper&#148;
or &#147;SCC&#148;), the accompanying unaudited&#160; condensed
consolidated combined financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company&#146;s
financial position as of March 31, 2006 and the results of operations and cash
flows for the three months ended March 31 2006 and 2005. The condensed consolidated
combined financial statements for the three month periods ended March 31, 2006
and 2005 have been subjected to a review by PricewaterhouseCoopers, the Company&#146;s
independent registered public accounting firm, whose report dated May 2, 2006,
is presented on page 35. The results of operations for the three months ended March
31, 2006 and 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year. The December 31, 2005 balance sheet data was derived from
audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The
accompanying condensed consolidated combined financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements at December 31,
2005 and notes included in the Company&#146;s 2005 annual report on Form 10-K/A
Amendment No. 1.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;text-indent:.45pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company has reclassified
from additional paid-in capital to treasury stock the carrying value of its
investment in shares held by one of its Mexican subsidiaries in its controlling
shareholder, Grupo Mexico. At March&nbsp;31, 2006 and December&nbsp;31, 2005,
the carrying amount was $80&nbsp;million.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;text-indent:-.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">At the March 17,
2005 meeting of the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF), the EITF reached a
consensus that stripping costs incurred during the production phase of a mine
are variable production costs that should be included in the costs of the
inventory produced (extracted) during the period that the stripping costs are
incurred. The EITF noted that the consensus does not address the accounting for
stripping costs incurred during the pre-production phase of a mine. The
consensus with respect to this issue was ratified by the FASB on March 30,
2005, and is effective for the first reporting period in fiscal years beginning
after December&nbsp;15, 2005, with early adoption permitted.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On January 1, 2006
the Company adopted this consensus by reversing $289.4 million of net
cumulative capitalized stripping cost as of December 31, 2005 and recording a
net charge of $181.3 million to retained earnings after recognition of workers&#146;
participation and tax benefit of $108.1 million.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In 2005 the
Company added an asset retirement obligation for its mining properties in Peru,
as required by the Mine Closure Law, enacted in 2003 and adopted in 2005. This
law requires the Company to present a mine closure plan to the Peruvian
Ministry of Energy and Mines (&#147;MEM&#148;) by August 2006. In April 2006, the Company
has selected Walsh Peru S.A., a Peruvian subsidiary of Walsh Environmental
Scientists and Engineers, Inc. (Boulder, Colorado), and the Mines Group Inc.
(Reno, Nevada), both independent consultants, to work in the development of the
mine closure plan and we expect to have the final plan at the end of July 2006.
The final plan will be subject to review and approval by MEM and open to public
discussion and comment in the area of the Company&#146;s operations. In application
of SFAS No. 143 and according to the criteria established by FIN-47, the
Company has made an estimate of this potential liability and recorded such
liability, based on its review of the law. However, the Company cannot assure
that the amount of this liability recorded will be adequate until our mine plan
is presented, reviewed and accepted by MEM.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;text-indent:.35pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
closure cost recognized for this liability includes the estimated cost required
at the Peruvian operations, based on the Company&#146;s experience and includes costs
at the Ilo smelter, tailing disposal, dismantling of the Toquepala and Cuajone
concentrators, repair shops and auxiliary services. In this regard, the Company
recorded an additional asset retirement liability in 2005 of $5.2 million for
this new law and increased net property by $4.6 million.</font></p>

January 15, 2004, the Company entered into a tolling agreement with Asarco. Under
the terms of this agreement, in the first quarter of 2004 the Company, through
its wholly owned US subsidiary, Southern Peru Limited (&#147;SPL&#148;), commenced
delivering to Asarco, at its Amarillo, Texas refinery, copper cathodes for
conversion into copper rods, which the Company sells to customers in the United
States. The Company delivered 16,000 tons of copper during the first quarter of
2005 to the Asarco refinery. In July 2005 Asarco declared Force </font>Majeure, notifying SPL that because
of a strike at their facilities, they would be unable to accept shipments from
the Company. Accordingly, deliveries to the refinery were suspended and the
Company has redirected the copper otherwise intended for delivery to the
refinery to other customers. This contract with Asarco terminated at the end of
2005 and has not been renewed.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In June 2004, the
Peruvian Congress enacted legislation imposing a royalty charge to be paid by
mining companies in favor of the regional governments and communities where
mining resources are located. Under the new law, the Company is subject to a 1%
to 3% royalty, based on sales, applicable to the value of the concentrates
produced in our Toquepala and Cuajone mines. The Company made provisions of $8.3
million and $6.9 million in the first quarter of 2006 and 2005 respectively,
for this royalty. These provisions are included in &#147;Cost of sales (exclusive of
depreciation, amortization and depletion)&#148; on the condensed consolidated
combined statement of earnings.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In April 2005, a Constitutional
Tribunal ruled the law constitutional and additionally stated that the royalty
charge applies to all concessions held in the mining industry, implying that
those entities with tax stability contracts are subject to this charge. In
1996, the Company entered into a tax stability contract with the Peruvian
government (a &#147;Guaranty and Promotional Measures for Investment Contract&#148;)
relating to our Solvent Extraction and Electrowinning (&#147;SX/EW&#148;) production,
which agreement purports to, among other things, fix tax rates and any other charges
relating to such production. The Company believes that the Constitutional
Tribunal&#146;s interpretation relating to entities with tax stability contracts is
incorrect and intends to protest the imposition of the royalty charge on SX/EW
production, when and if assessed. Provisions made by the Company for the
royalty charge do not include approximately $7.4 million of additional
potential liability relating to its SX/EW production from June 30, 2004 through
March 31, 2006.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In 1997, SCC sold
its Ilo power plant to an independent power company, Enersur S.A. (&#147;Enersur&#148;),
for $33.6 million. In connection with the sale, a power purchase agreement was
also completed under which SCC agreed to purchase all of its power needs for
its Peruvian operations from Enersur for twenty years, commencing in 1997.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company agreed
to amend its power purchase agreement in June 2003, resolving certain issues
that arose between the parties and reducing power costs for the remaining life
of the agreement. The Company made a one-time contractual payment of $4.0
million to Enersur under the terms of the new agreement. The new agreement
releases Enersur from the obligation to construct additional capacity upon
notice to meet the Company&#146;s increased electricity requirements from the
planned expansion and modernization. SCC believes it can satisfy the need for
increased electricity requirements from other sources, including local power
providers.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company&#146;s
operations are subject to applicable Peruvian environmental laws and
regulations. The Peruvian government, through its <i><font style="font-style:italic;">Ministerio de Energ&#237;a y Minas</font></i> (the Ministry of Energy and
Mines, or MEM) conducts certain annual audits of the Company&#146;s Peruvian mining
and metallurgical operations. Through these environmental audits, matters
related to environmental commitments, compliance with legal requirements,
atmospheric emissions and effluent monitoring are reviewed. The Company
believes that it is in material compliance with applicable Peruvian
environmental laws and regulations.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In accordance with
Peruvian regulations, in 1996 SCC submitted its <i><font style="font-style:italic;">Programa de Adecuaci&#243;n y Manejo Ambiental</font></i> (the Environmental
Compliance and Management Program, known by its Spanish acronym, PAMA) to the
MEM. A third-party environmental audit was conducted in order to elaborate the
PAMA. The PAMA applied to all current operations that did not have an approved
environmental impact study at the time. SCC&#146;s PAMA was approved in January 1997
and contains 34 mitigation measures and projects necessary to (1) bring the
existing operations into compliance with the environmental standards
established by the MEM and (2) identify areas impacted by operations that are
no longer active and need to be reclaimed or remedied. By the end of 2005, 31
of these projects were completed, including all PAMA commitments related to the
Company&#146;s operations in Cuajone and Toquepala. The three pending PAMA projects
all relate to the Ilo smelter operations. The primary areas of environmental
concern are the smelter reverberatory slag eroded from slag deposits up until
1994, and atmospheric emissions from the Ilo smelter.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The slag
remediation program is progressing as scheduled and is expected to be completed
by 2007. With respect to the smelter emissions, the third phase of the Ilo
smelter modernization has started and is scheduled to be completed by 2007. In
July 2003, the Company awarded the contract to provide the technology and basic
engineering for the modernization of the Ilo smelter to Fluor Chile S.A. and
Xstrata plc (formerly M.I.M. Holdings Limited). The Company believes that the
selected proposal complies with the current environmental regulations. This
project is the Company&#146;s largest short-term capital investment project and is
estimated at $500 million, including $451.8 million expended through March 2006.
Beginning in 1995 and continuing while this project is under construction, the
Company established an emissions curtailment program that has allowed SCC to
comply with the annual sulfur dioxide air quality standard (established by the
MEM in 1996) in the populated areas of the city of Ilo.</font></p>

2003, the Peruvian Congress published a new law announcing future closure and
remediation obligations for the mining industry. The law was amended on May 28,
2004 and again on May 8, 2005. The current modification establishes that mining
companies submit their mine closure plans within one year of publication of
final regulations. On August 16, 2005 final regulations were published and the
Company has initiated the preparation of the required mine closure plan. As
part of the law and the qualifying regulations the Company is also required to
engage an independent consulting entity to prepare the mine closure plan. In
April 2006, the Company selected Walsh Peru S.A., a Peruvian subsidiary of Walsh

Plan and we expect to have the final plan at the end of July 2006. The final
plan, which is required by August 2006, is subject to approval by MEM and open
to public discussion and comment in the area of Company operations. Additionally,
the law requires companies to provide financial guarantees to insure that
remediation programs are completed. The Company believes the liability for
these asset retirement obligations cannot currently be precisely measured, or
estimated, until the Company has substantially completed its mine closure plan
and is reasonably confident that it will be approved by MEM in most material
respects. However the Company has made a preliminary estimate of this liability
and has recorded such amount in its financial statements. As of March 31, 2006
the Company has recorded $5.3 million for this liability. The Company believes
that this estimate should be viewed with caution, pending final approval of its
mine closure plan, expected later in 2006.</font></p>

environmental regulations have become increasingly stringent over the last
decade, and this trend is likely to continue and has been influenced by the
environmental agreement entered into by Mexico, the United States and Canada in
connection with NAFTA in February 1999. However, the Company&#146;s management does
not believe that continued compliance with the Environmental Law or Mexican
state environmental laws will have a material adverse effect on the Company&#146;s
business, properties, result of operations, financial condition or prospects or
will result in material capital expenditures. Although the Company believes
that all of its facilities are in material compliance with applicable
environmental, mining and other laws and regulations, the Company cannot assure

of additional laws and regulations would not have a material adverse effect on
the Company&#146;s business, properties, results of operations, financial condition

Others vs. SCC</font></u><font face="Times New Roman">:&#160; In April 1996, the Company was served with a
complaint filed in Peru by approximately 800 former employees seeking the
delivery of 38,763,806.80 &#147;labor shares&#148; to be issued in a proportional way to
each in accordance with their time of work with SCC, plus dividends. The
Company conducts its operations in Peru through a registered Branch. Although
the Branch has neither capital nor liability separate from that of the Company,
under Peruvian law it is deemed to have an equity capital for purposes of
determining the economic interest of the holders of investment shares. The
labor shares litigation is based on claims of former employees for ownership of
labor shares issued during the 1970s until 1989 under a former Peruvian
mandated profit sharing system. The Company asserts that the claims are
meritless and that the labor shares were distributed to the former employees in
accordance with the then in effect Peruvian profit sharing system. We do not
believe that an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible. In 1971, the
Peruvian Government enacted legislation providing that workers in the mining
industry would participate in the pre-tax profits of the enterprises for which
they worked at a rate of 10%. This participation was distributed to the workers
with 40% in cash and 60% as an equity interest in the enterprise. What remains
of the equity participation is now included in the condensed consolidated
balance sheet caption &#147;Minority interest.&#148;&#160;
Under the law, the equity participation was originally delivered to the &#147;Mining
Community&#148;, an organization representing all workers. The cash portion was
distributed to the workers after the close of the year. The accrual for this
participation was (and continues to be) a current liability of the Company,
until paid. In 1978, the law was amended and the equity distribution was
calculated at 5.5% of pre-tax profits and was made to individual workers of the
enterprise in the form of labor shares. These labor shares represented an equity
interest in the enterprise. In addition, equity participations previously
distributed to the &#147;Mining Community&#148; were returned to the Company and
redistributed in the form of labor shares to individual employees or former
employees. The cash participation was adjusted to 4.5% of pre-tax earnings and
continued to be distributed to employees following the close of the year.
Effective in 1992, the law was amended to its present status. The workers&#146;
participation in pre-tax profits was set at 8%, with 100% payable in cash. The
equity participation component was eliminated from the law. In 1995, the
Company offered to exchange new common shares of the Company for the labor
shares issued under the prior Peruvian law. Approximately 80.8% of the issued
labor shares were exchanged for the Company&#146;s common shares, greatly reducing
the Minority interest on the Company&#146;s balance sheet. Since 1995, the Company
has periodically purchased labor shares on the open market. In 1998, labor
shares were renamed &#147;investment shares.&#148;&#160;
At March 31, 2006, the investment share interest in the Company&#146;s
Peruvian Branch amounted to 0.71%.</font></p>

approximately 800 former employees seeking the delivery of a substantial number
of &#147;labor shares&#148; (now referred to as &#147;investment shares&#148;) of its Peruvian
Branch plus dividends on such shares. This amount corresponds to the total
number of labor shares for all of the Company&#146;s Peruvian workers, and the
complaint is seeking to have such shares issued to the plaintiffs proportionally
to each in accordance with their time of work with the Company, plus dividends
on such shares. In December 1999, a civil court of first instance of Lima
decided against the</font></p>

delivery of the investment shares and dividends to the plaintiffs. The Company
appealed this decision in January 2000. On October 10, 2000, the Superior Court
of Lima affirmed the lower court&#146;s decision, which had been adverse to the
Company. On appeal by the Company, the Peruvian Supreme Court annulled the
proceeding noting that the civil courts lacked jurisdiction and that the matter
had to be decided by a labor court. The
lower court dismissed the lawsuit in January 2005. The plaintiffs have appealed
to the superior court.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Three purported
class action derivative lawsuits have been filed in the Delaware Court of
Chancery (New Castle County) late in December 2004 and early January 2005
relating to the acquisition of Minera Mexico by SCC. On January 31, 2005, the
three actions Lemon Bay, LLP v. Americas Mining Corporation, et al., Civil
Action No.&nbsp;961-N, Therault Trust v. Luis Palomino Bonilla, et al., and
Southern Copper Corporation, et al., Civil Action No. 969-N, and James Sousa v.
Southern Copper Corporation, et al., Civil Action No. 978-N were consolidated
into one action titled,&#160; In re Southern
Copper Corporation Shareholder Derivative Litigation, Consol. C. A. No. 961-N

in the consolidated lawsuit. The consolidated action purports to be brought on

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The consolidated
complaint alleges, among other things, that the acquisition of Minera Mexico is
the result of breaches of fiduciary duties by the Company&#146;s directors and is
not entirely fair to the Company and its minority stockholders. The
consolidated complaint seeks, among other things, a preliminary and permanent
injunction to enjoin the acquisition, the award of damages to the class, the
award of damages to the Company and such other relief that the court deems
equitable, including interest, attorneys&#146; and experts&#146; fees and costs. The
Company believes that this lawsuit is without merit and is vigorously defending
itself against this action.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">When Mexcobre originally
received mining concessions related to its La Caridad unit in 1970, it was
required to pay royalties to the Mexican Geological Services - &#147;MGS&#148; (formerly
named the Council of Mineral Resources &#150; COREMI). When the Mining Law came into
effect in 1992, it was believed that this obligation was terminated. However, MGS,
the Mexican Superintendent of Mining and the Mexican Secretary of Economy, did
not concede that the royalty obligation to MGS was terminated and, in 1995, MGS
initiated a series of legal actions. In August 2002, MGS filed with the Third
Federal District Judge in Civil Matters, an action demanding from Mexcobre the
payment of royalties since 1997. Mexcobre answered and denied MGS&#146;s claims in
October 2002. In December 2005, Mexcobre signed an agreement with MGS. Under
the terms of this agreement the parties established a new procedure to
calculate the royalty payments applicable for 2005 and the following years, and
the Company paid in January 2006, $6.9 million of royalties for 2005 and $8.5
million as payment on account for royalties from the third quarter 1997 through
the last quarter of 2004. We estimate that the payment made on January 11 will
cover 100% of the royalty payments required for past periods. On an ongoing
basis the Company will be required to pay a 1% royalty on La Caridad&#146;s copper
production value after deduction of treatment and refining charges and certain
other carrying costs.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The municipality of San
Luis Potos&#237; has granted Desarrolladora Intersaba, S.A. de C.V., licenses of use
of land and construction for housing and/or commercial zones in the former
Ejido Capulines, where the residential project &#147;Villa Magna&#148; is expected to be
developed in the near future.</font></p>

residential project will be developed within an area that IMMSA&#146;s approved Risk
Analysis by SEMARNAT (the federal environmental authority) has secure as a
safeguard and buffer zone due to the use by IMMSA of Anhydrous Ammonia Gas.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Based on the foregoing,
IMMSA has initiated two different actions regarding this matter:</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

Municipality of San Luis Potos&#237;, requesting the annulment of the authorization
and licenses granted to Desarrolladora Intersaba, S.A. de C.V. to develop &#147;Villa
Magna&#148; within the zinc plant&#146;s safeguard and buffer zone; and</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;text-indent:-.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

before SEMARNAT a request for a declaration of a safeguard and buffer zone
surrounding IMMSA&#146;s zinc plant.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;text-indent:-.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">These actions are
awaiting final resolutions. IMMSA believes that, should the outcome of the
above mentioned legal proceedings be adverse to IMMSA&#146;s interests, the
construction of the &#147;Villa Magna&#148; housing and commercial development would not,
in itself, affect the operations of IMMSA&#146;s zinc plant.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In addition to the
foregoing, IMMSA has initiated a series of legal and administrative procedures
against the Municipality of San Luis Potos&#237; due to its refusal to issue IMMSA&#146;s
use of land permit in respect of its zinc plant. The Municipality has refused
to grant such license based on the argument that IMMSA has failed to submit, as
part of the application process, <i><font style="font-style:italic;">a &#147;manifestaci&#243;n
de impacto ambiental&#148;</font></i> (environmental impact assessment). IMMSA
believes that the environmental impact assessment is not required because IMMSA
will not undertake construction activities. The trial judge has ordered the
Municipality to continue the analysis of IMMSA&#146;s request to issue the &#147;<i><font style="font-style:italic;">licencia de uso de suelo&#148;</font></i> (use of land
permit). The municipality has refused to issue the land use permit. IMMSA has
filed a request for relief against such resolution to compel the court to issue
the land use permit.</font></p>

United States and internationally. These audits can result in proposed

for the years 1994 through 1996. In 2003, the Company settled these differences
with the IRS and made a payment of $4.4 million, including interest. Generally,
the years 1994 through 1996 are now closed to further adjustment.</font></p>

the field audit work for all years preceding 2003 and currently is auditing
2003 and 2004. During the audit of the tax years 1997 through 1999, the IRS
questioned the Company&#146;s accounting policy for determination of useful lives,
the calculation of deductible and creditable Peruvian taxes, the methodology of
capitalizing interest and the capitalizing of certain costs (drilling, blasting
and hauling) into inventory value as items for possible adjustment. In the
fourth quarter of 2003, the Company and the IRS had jointly requested technical
advice from the IRS National Office to help resolve the inventory value dispute.
In August 2005 the National Office of the IRS responded to the IRS field audit
group&#146;s request for technical advice. The issuance of this technical advice
memorandum (TAM) allowed the IRS to close the field audit work of the audit
cycles 1997 through 1999 and 2000 through 2002. The TAM accepts the position of

the Company filed a formal protest with the IRS to appeal the proposed changes
with respect to the TAM conclusion, as well as other items of adjustment
proposed by the IRS field audit group. These other adjustments include the
methodology of capitalizing interest, the determination of useful lives for
depreciable property, the calculation of deductible and creditable Peruvian
taxes and the established service fee between the Company and related parties. The
Company believes that the positions that it is reporting to the IRS are correct
and appropriate. The Company believes that it has substantial defenses to the
proposed IRS adjustments and that adequate provisions have been made so that
resolution of any issues raised by the IRS will not have a material adverse
effect on its financial condition or results of operations. The Company is
awaiting notification from the IRS Appeals Office for the first scheduled
appeals conference related to its protest. Significant management judgment is
required in determining the provision for tax contingencies. The estimate of
the probable cost for resolution of the tax contingencies has been developed in
consultation with legal and tax counsel. The Company does not believe that
there is a reasonable likelihood that there is an exposure to loss in excess of
the amounts accrued.</font></p>

SUNAT&#146;s assessments and penalties with regard to depreciation and deductions of
other expenses incurred outside of Peru for fiscal years 1996 and 1997. Consequently,
the Company recognized an additional tax and workers participation liability
for fiscal years 1998 and 1999 on the amounts assessed by SUNAT. Therefore, in
2003 the Company recorded a charge to workers&#146; participation, included in cost
of sales (exclusive of depreciation, amortization and depletion) on the
statement of earnings and income tax expense of $0.5 million and $4.4 million,
respectively. The Company, however, has not recognized a liability for penalties
and interest assessed by SUNAT in connection with the depreciation and other
expenses deduction as it considers they are not applicable. The status of the
penalty appeals and other tax contingencies is as follows:</font></p>

regard to the appeal of the penalty related to fiscal year 1996, the Company
was required to issue a letter of credit to SUNAT of $3.4 million, which was
issued in July 2003. This deposit is recorded in other assets on the condensed consolidated
balance sheet. The Peruvian tax court denied the Company&#146;s appeal in February
2004. Consequently, in April 2004, the Company filed a lawsuit against the
Peruvian tax court and SUNAT in the superior court of Peru. The Company was not
required to issue a deposit for appeal of assessments and rulings with respect
to any other years. In September, 2005 the Superior Court declared the Company&#146;s
claim valid. SUNAT has appealed this decision to the Supreme Court in Lima.</p>

was denied. In this regard, in May 2003, the Company filed a lawsuit before the
superior court against SUNAT and the Peruvian tax court, seeking the reversal
of the ruling of the tax court. In July, 2005 the Superior Court remanded the case
to SUNAT for a new pronouncement. SUNAT has appealed the courts decision to the
Supreme Court in Lima.</font></p>

and January 2005, the Company received assessments and penalties from SUNAT for
the fiscal years 2000 and 2001, in which certain deductions taken by the
Company were disallowed. SUNAT has objected to the Company&#146;s method of deducting
vacation pay accruals in 2000, a deduction in 2000 for a fixed asset write-off,
as well as certain other deductions in both years. The Company has appealed
these assessments and resolution is still pending. The Company received
penalties and assessments from SUNAT relating to the treatment of foreign
exchange differences for 2000 and 2001. The Company has appealed these
assessments and resolution is still pending.</font></p>

<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">During the first quarter
of 2006, there were a number of work stoppages at some of the Company&#146;s Mexican
operations, most of these work stoppages were of a short-term nature with
normal operations restored after a few days, with little or no production loss.
However, work stoppages at the La Caridad copper mine in Sonora and at the San
Martin polymetalic mining complex in Zacatecas commenced in the first quarter
of 2006 and are continuing into the second quarter of 2006. The Company
believes that the work stoppage at La Caridad is an attempt to pressure the Mexican
government to recognize a discredited union leader. While the stoppages were
declared illegal, the Company has been forced to declare force </font>majeure on some of its commercial
contracts. At present the Company is working with the Mexican authorities to resolve
these illegal work stoppages.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Additionally, in
recent years the Company has experienced a number of work stoppages or other
labor disruptions that have had an adverse impact on its operations and
operating results. For example, in Peru on August 31, 2004, unionized workers
at the mining units in Toquepala and Cuajone initiated work stoppages and sought
additional wage increases based on high metal prices. In Mexico, on July 12,
2004, the workers of Mexicana de Cobre site went on strike asking for the
review of certain contractual clauses. Such a review was performed and the
workers returned to work 18 days later. On October 15, 2004, the workers of
Mexicana de Cananea went on strike, followed by the Mexicana de Cobre workers. The
strike lasted for six days at Mexicana de Cobre and nine days at Mexicana de
Cananea. In each case, the operations at the particular mine ceased until the
strike was resolved. The Company cannot give assurances that they will not
experience strikes or other labor-related work stoppages in the future that
could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of
operations.</font></p>

an investigation to establish (1) the causes of the accident and, (2) the

for the investigation team to have access to the site where the explosion

however, progress is very slow as access is blocked by debris and rocks. It may
take a further 3 to 6 months to complete this effort. The underground coal

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our direct and
indirect parent corporations, including AMC and Grupo Mexico, have from time to
time been named parties in various litigations involving Asarco. In March 2003,
AMC purchased its interest in SCC from Asarco. In August 2002 the U.S.
Department of Justice brought a claim alleging fraudulent conveyance in
connection with AMC&#146;s then-proposed purchase of SCC from Asarco. That action
was settled pursuant to a Consent Decree dated February&nbsp;2, 2003. The
consent decree is binding solely on the U.S. government. In October 2004, AMC,
Grupo Mexico, Mexicana de Cobre and other parties, not including SCC, were
named in a lawsuit filed in New York State court in connection with alleged
asbestos liabilities, which lawsuit claims, among other matters, that AMC&#146;s
purchase of SCC from Asarco should be voided as a fraudulent conveyance. While
Grupo Mexico and its affiliates believe that these claims are without merit, we
cannot assure you that these or future claims, if successful, will not have an
adverse effect on our parent corporations or us. Any increase in the financial
obligations of our parent corporations, as a result of matters related to
Asarco or otherwise could, among other matters; result in our parent
corporations attempting to obtain increased dividends or other funding from us.
In 2005, certain subsidiaries of Asarco filed bankruptcy petitions in
connection with alleged asbestos liabilities. In July 2005, the unionized
workers of Asarco commenced a work stoppage, which was settled in November 2005.
As a result of various factors, including the above-mentioned work stoppage, on
August 9, 2005 Asarco filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Corpus Christi,
Texas. Asarco&#146;s bankruptcy case is being joined with the bankruptcy cases of
its subsidiaries. Asarco is operating and managing its businesses as a debtor
in possession. Asarco LLC&#146;s bankruptcy could result in additional claims being
filed against Grupo Mexico and its subsidiaries, including SCC, Minera Mexico
or its subsidiaries.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Asarco believes
that by utilizing the Chapter 11 process it can achieve an orderly
restructuring of its business and finally resolve, among other contingencies,
its environmental and asbestos claims. However, it is impossible to predict how
the bankruptcy court will ultimately rule with respect to such petitions and
the impact such rulings will have on Asarco and its subsidiaries.</font></p>

a single industry, namely mining copper. Prior to the April 1, 2005 acquisition
of Minera Mexico, the Company determined that its operations in Peru fell
within one segment. With the acquisition of Minera Mexico the Company continues
to operate principally in one industry, the mining of copper. However, because
of the demands of managing operations in two countries, effective April 1,
2005, Company management views the new Southern Copper as having three
operating segments and manages on the basis of these segments. Additionally, in
mining copper the Company produces a number of metal by-products, most
important of which are molybdenum, silver and zinc. The significant increase in
the price of molybdenum</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In February 2006 the FASB
published SFAS No. 155 &#147;Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments&#148; an
amendment of SFAS No. 133 and 140. This statement improves financial reporting
by eliminating the exemption from applying statement 133 to interests in
securitized financial assets so that similar instruments are accounted for
similarly regardless of the form of the instruments. This Statement also
improves financial reporting by allowing a preparer to elect fair value
measurement at acquisition, at issuance, or when a previously recognized financial
instrument is subject to a remeasurement (new basis) event, on an
instrument-by-instrument basis, in cases in which a derivative would otherwise
have to be bifurcated. Providing a fair value measurement election also results
in more financial instruments being measured at what the Board regards as the
most relevant attribute for financial instruments, fair value. SFAS 155 will be
effective for all instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an
entity&#146;s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company is
evaluating the impact that this statement may have on its financial position or
results of operations.</font></p>

March 2006 the FASB published SFAS No. 156 &#147;Accounting for Servicing of
Financial Assets&#148; an amendment of SFAS No. 140. This Statement requires that
all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be
initially measured at fair value, if practicable. The Board concluded that fair
value is the most relevant measurement attribute for the initial recognition of
all servicing assets and servicing liabilities, because it represents the best
measure of future cash flows. SFAS No. 156 permits, but does not require, the
subsequent measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair
value. An entity that uses derivative instruments to mitigate the risks
inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities is required to account
for those derivative instruments at fair value. Under this Statement, an entity
can elect subsequent fair value measurement of its servicing assets and
servicing liabilities by class, thus simplifying its accounting and providing
for income statement recognition of the potential offsetting changes in fair
value of the servicing assets, servicing liabilities, and related derivative
instruments. An entity that elects to subsequently measure servicing assets and
servicing liabilities at fair value is expected to recognize declines in fair
value of the servicing assets and servicing liabilities more consistently than
by reporting other-than-temporary impairments.</font></p>

of 2006, there was a number of work stoppages at some of the Company&#146;s Mexican
operations, most of these work stoppages were of a short-term nature with
normal operations restored after a few days, with little or no production loss.
However, work stoppages at the La Caridad copper mine in Sonora and at the San
Martin polymetalic mining complex in Zacatecas commenced in the first quarter
of 2006 and are continuing into the second quarter of 2006. The Company
believes that the work stoppage at La Caridad is an attempt to pressure the
Mexican government to recognize a discredited union leader. While the stoppages
were declared illegal, the Company has been forced to declare force </font>majeure on some of its commercial
contracts. At present the Company is working with the Mexican authorities to
resolve these illegal work stoppages.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our business is primarily the production and sale of
copper. In the process of producing copper, a number of valuable metallurgical
byproducts are recovered, such as molybdenum, zinc, silver, lead and gold,
which we also produce and sell. Market forces outside of our control largely
determine the sales prices for our products. Our management, therefore, focuses
on copper production cost control, production enhancement and prudent and
conservative capital structure to improve profitability. We believe we achieve
these goals through capital spending programs, exploration efforts and cost
reduction programs. Our aim is to remain profitable during periods of low

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We
discuss below several matters that we believe are important to understand our
results of operations and financial condition. These matters include, (i) our &#147;operating
cash costs&#148; as a measure of our performance, (ii) metal prices, (iii) the
effects of inflation and other local currency issues and (iv) our expansion and
modernization program.</font></p>

<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><u><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Operating Cash Costs</font></u>.
An overall benchmark used by us and a common industry metric to measure
performance is operating cash costs per pound of copper produced. Operating
cash cost is a non-GAAP measure that does not have a standardized meaning and
may not be comparable to similarly titled measures provided by other companies.
A reconciliation of our cash cost per pound to the cost of sales (including
depreciation, amortization and depletion), is presented under the subheading &#147;Non-GAAP
Information Reconciliation&#148;, below. We have defined operating cash cost per
pound as cost of sales (including depreciation, amortization and depletion);
plus selling, general and administrative charges, treatment and refining
charges; less byproducts revenue and sales premiums, depreciation amortization
and depletion, worker&#146;s participation and other miscellaneous charges, Peruvian
royalty charge and the change in inventory levels; divided by total pounds of
copper produced and purchased by us. In our calculation of operating cash cost
per pound of copper produced we credit against our costs the revenues from the
sale of byproducts, principally molybdenum, zinc and silver and the premiums
over market price that we receive on copper sales. We account for the byproduct
revenue in this way because we consider our principal business to be the
production and sale of copper. We believe that our Company is viewed by the
investment community as a copper company, and is valued, in large part, by the
investment community&#146;s view of the copper market and our ability to produce
copper at a reasonable cost. We also include copper sales premiums as a credit,
as these amounts are in excess of published copper prices. The recent surge in
the price of molybdenum has had a significant effect on our traditional
calculation of cash cost and its comparability between periods. Accordingly, we
present cash costs with and without crediting the byproducts revenues against
our costs.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We exclude from our
calculation of operating cash cost depreciation, amortization and depletion,
which are considered non-cash expenses. Exploration is considered a
discretionary expenditure and is also excluded. Worker&#146;s participation
provisions are determined on the basis of pre-tax earnings and are also
excluded. Additionally excluded from operating cash cost are items of a
non-recurring nature, and the new Peruvian royalty and in periods prior to 2006
the position of mine stripping costs that we capitalized.</font></p>

per pound, as defined, are presented in the table below for the three months
ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. We present cash costs with and without the
inclusion of byproduct revenues.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As seen on the chart
above, our cash cost for the first quarter of 2006 when calculated with
byproducts revenue is 21.4 cents compared with a credit of 16.1 cents per pound
in the first quarter of 2005. The reduction in byproducts credit was due to lower
molybdenum prices and volume partially offset by increases in silver and zinc
prices. The price of molybdenum in the first quarter of 2006 averaged $22.25 per
pound, as compared to $30.43 per pound in the comparable 2005 period. The price
of silver and zinc in the first quarter of 2006 was approximately 39% and 70%
higher, respectively, than in the first quarter of 2005. The impact of the
credit for molybdenum revenue was by far the largest effect. In the first
quarter of 2006, molybdenum revenue was a credit of 38.7 cents per pound as
compared to 75.7 cents per pound in the first quarter of 2005.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our cash cost, excluding
byproduct revenues, was higher by 21.1 cents in the first quarter of 2006. In
2006, we adopted a new accounting policy, see Note B to our financial statements,
which requires that we charge to production cost all mine stripping cost. Under
our previous policy, in 2005, a portion of our mine stripping cost was
capitalized. In the first quarter of 2005 our cash costs were reduced by 2.7
cents for capitalized mine stripping cost. In addition, our copper production
was lower by approximately 2.6 million pounds, due largely to a decrease of
approximately 10.8 million pounds at our Mexican operations, which includes an
8.6 million pound decrease in our Mexican open pit operations mainly at La
Caridad Mine due to an illegal work stoppage and lower ore grade and recoveries
and a decrease of 2.2 million pounds in our IMMSA unit mainly due to a one
month illegal work stoppage at the San Martin unit.</font></p>

The profitability of our operations is dependent on, and our financial
performance is significantly affected by, the international market prices for
the products we produce, especially for copper, molybdenum, zinc and silver. Metals
prices historically have been subject to wide fluctuations and are affected by
numerous factors beyond our control. These factors, which affect each commodity
to varying degrees, include international economic and political conditions,
levels of supply and demand, the availability and cost of substitutes,
inventory levels maintained by producers and others and, to a lesser degree,
inventory carrying costs and currency exchange rates. In addition, the market
prices of certain metals have on occasion been subject to rapid short-term
changes due to speculative activities.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We are subject to market
risks arising from the volatility of copper and other metal prices. Assuming
that expected metal production and sales are achieved, that tax rates are
unchanged, giving no effect to potential hedging programs, metal price
sensitivity factors would indicate the following change in estimated 2006
earnings resulting from metal price changes.</font></p>

of the Peruvian Nuevo Sol and the Mexican Peso</font></u>. Our
functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Portions of our operating costs are
denominated in Peruvian nuevos soles and Mexican pesos. Since our revenues are
primarily denominated in U.S. dollars, when inflation/deflation in Peru or
Mexico is not offset by a change in the exchange rate of the Nuevo sol or the
peso, respectively, to the dollar, our financial position, results of
operations and cash flows could be adversely affected in our wage adjustments. In
addition, the dollar value of our net monetary assets denominated in nuevos
soles or pesos can be affected by devaluation of the Nuevo sol or the peso,
resulting in a remeasurement loss in our condensed consolidated combined
financial statement.</p>

Ilo, Peru smelter modernization project is moving ahead on schedule with construction
work in process in order to finish by the end of 2006. The anode plant part of
this project was commissioned in the first quarter of 2006 and replaces Ilo
blister production with anodes. At March 31, 2006, the smelter project has
reached 76% completion. Additionally, the Company&#146;s leaching dumps, crushing
and conveying project at the Toquepala mine is in production. The primary
crusher and associated overland conveying system are fully operational;
construction of the ramp for this project will continue until completion in the
third quarter of 2006. The project is 95.7% complete. We will expand our SX/EW
production at the Cananea mine with a new 32,800mtpy plant. Our studies
indicate that this will provide a more attractive return than our previously
considered two-stage expansion. The bidding process for basic engineering is
currently under way. In addition, a crushing / conveying / spreading system is
also in the basic engineering stage.</font></p>

Copper Corporation&#146;s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and
results of operations are based upon its condensed consolidated combined
financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. Preparation
of these condensed consolidated combined financial statements requires Southern
Copper&#146;s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes its best
estimate of the ultimate outcome for these items based on historical trends and
other information available when the financial statements are prepared. Changes
in estimates are recognized in accordance with the accounting rules for the
estimate, which is typically in the period when new information becomes
available to management. Areas where the nature of the estimate makes it
reasonably possible that actual results could materially differ from amounts
estimated include: ore reserves, estimated mine stripping ratios, leachable
material and related amortization, the estimated useful lives of fixed assets,
asset retirement obligations, litigation and contingencies, valuation
allowances for deferred tax assets, fair value of financial instruments and
inventory obsolescence. The Company bases its estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable

copper production amounted to 354.0 million pounds in the first quarter of
2006, a decrease of 0.7% compared with the first quarter of 2005. This decrease
of 2.6 million pounds included 8.6 million pounds from the Mexican open pit
operations, a decrease of 2.2 million pounds from the Mexican underground mines
and an increase of 8.2 million pounds from the Peruvian open pit mines.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
decrease of 8.6 million pounds in the production from the Mexican open pit
mines was due to a decrease in ore milled, as a result of an illegal work
stoppage at the La Caridad mine, lower ore grade and recoveries and a decrease
in SX-EW production due to lower quantities of PLS treated. The increase of 8.2
million pounds from the Peruvian open pit mines was the result of higher ore
grades and recoveries in both the Cuajone and Toquepala mines, net of a
decrease in SX/EW copper production due to lower PLS grade. The decrease of 2.2
million pounds in the Mexican underground mines was due to an illegal work
stoppage at the San Martin mine which did not produce in March.</font></p>

Net sales in the first quarter of 2006 increased $175.2 million to $1,121.3
million from $946.1 million in the comparable period in 2005. The increase in
net sales was principally the result of higher copper prices, and to a lesser
extent higher zinc and silver prices. A decrease in the sales price of
molybdenum and lower production and sale of molybdenum reduced these increases.</p>

Company has recorded provisionally priced sales of 134.4 million pounds of
copper, at an average forward price of $2.47 per pound. Also the Company has
recorded provisionally priced sales of 5.7 million pounds of molybdenum at an
average price of $22.60 per pound. These sales are subject to final pricing
based on the average monthly LME or COMEX copper prices and Dealer Oxide
molybdenum prices in the future month of settlement, which will occur largely in
the second quarter of 2006.</font></p>

Operating costs and expenses were $488.6 million in the first quarter of 2006
compared with $474.5 million in the first quarter of 2005. Cost of sales
(exclusive of depreciation, amortization and depletion) for the three months
ended March 31, 2006 was $406.9 million compared with $389.6 million in the
comparable 2005 period. The increase in cost of sales is attributable to an
increase of $9.6 million in production cost due to the adoption of a new
accounting policy which requires that all mine stripping costs for operating
properties be charged to production. Additionally 2006 includes $14.9 million in
increased fuel and power cost, $1.4 million of mining royalties partially
offset by an increase in inventory of $30.6 million.</p>

expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2006 were $24.0 million compared
with $ 18.6 million in the third quarter of 2005. The increase of $5.4 million
is mainly attributable to an increase in fees for consulting services of $ 2.2
million, an increase in salaries and wages of $ 2.3 million and the tax on
financial transactions in Peru.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Net sales in the first
quarter 2006 increased $128.6 million to $615.8 million from $487.2 million in
the comparable period of 2005. The increase in net sales is principally the result
of higher copper prices in the first quarter of 2006. Copper sales volume increased
in 2006, principally as a result of the copper purchased from our Mexican
operations. Molybdenum sales volume, however, decreased in 2006 period, due to lower
production.</font></p>

million from $202.4 million in the first quarter of 2005, principally due to
higher cost of sales. Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation, amortization
and depletion) for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $267.5 million
compared to $172.3 million in the same period of 2005. The increase in cost of
sales includes $77.9 million of metals purchased from our Mexican operations,
$9.6 million of lower capitalized mine stripping cost, $2.5 million of net
higher fuel and power cost, $5.0 million of higher workers&#146; participation and
$1.3 million of higher mining royalties.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Net sales in the first
quarter of 2006 increased $8.9 million to $484.8 million from $475.9 million in
the first quarter of 2005. The increase in net sales is principally result of
higher copper and silver prices partially offset by lower copper sales volume.</font></p>

expenses in the first quarter of 2006 decreased by $78.9 million to $218.9
million from $297.8 million in the first quarter of 2005, principally due to lower
cost of sales and depreciation, amortization and depletion. Cost of sales
(exclusive of depreciation, amortization and depletion) decreased $70.3 million
to $183.9 million from $254.2 million in 2005. The decrease in cost of sales
was principally due $75.1 million of lower copper and other metals purchased from
third parties, principally from IMMSA and an increase in metal inventory of
$21.6 million net of an increase of $17.2 million in fuel and power costs. The
decrease of $10.0 million in depreciation, amortization and depletion was
principally due to the amortization of capitalized mine stripping and leachable
material cost in the 2005 quarter.</font></p>

Company&#146;s biggest outstanding capital investment project is the Ilo smelter
modernization. This project will modernize the smelter and bring SCC into
compliance with PAMA requirements. In July 2003, we awarded the contract to
provide the technology and basic engineering for the modernization of the Ilo
smelter to Fluor Chile S.A. and Xstrata plc (formerly M.I.M. Holding Limited). The
project is using the Australian ISASMELT technology and the Company believes
that it will comply with the current environmental regulations. It is estimated
that the construction of the project will be completed before January 2007, the
deadline established by the PAMA.</font></p>

in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists
principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons
responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in
scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of
an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we
do not express such an opinion.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We previously audited, in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005, and
the related consolidated combined statement of earnings, changes in stockholder&#146;s
equity and cash flows for the year then ended, management&#146;s assessment of the
effectiveness of the Company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting as of
December&nbsp;31, 2005 and the effectiveness of the Company&#146;s internal control
over financial reporting as of December&nbsp;31, 2005; and in our report dated
March 13, 2006, we expressed unqualified opinions thereon. The consolidated
combined financial statements and management&#146;s assessment of the effectiveness
of internal control over financial reporting referred to above are not
presented herein. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March&nbsp;31, 2006, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet
from which it has been derived.</font></p>

occurs when a broker submits a proxy card with respect to shares of Common
Stock held in a fiduciary capacity (typically referred to as being held in &#147;street
name&#148;) but declines to vote on a particular matter because the broker has not
received voting instructions from the beneficial owner.</font></p>

Rocha was determined by us and is reflected in an employee agreement mandated
by Peruvian law. The base salaries of Messrs.&nbsp;Oscar Gonz&#225;lez Rocha and
Jose N. Chirinos follow the guidelines of salaries of our other key employees
in Peru. The other items of the compensation paid in 2005 to Messrs.&nbsp;Oscar
Gonz&#225;lez Rocha and Jose N. Chirinos are consistent with compensation paid to
our other key employees in Peru or are mandated by Peruvian law. For 2005 we
approved an incentive cash payment to Messrs.&nbsp;Oscar Gonz&#225;lez Rocha and
Jose N. Chirinos in recognition of their performance. The incentive cash
payments to Messrs.&nbsp;Oscar Gonz&#225;lez Rocha and Jose N. Chirinos are
reflected in the Summary Compensation Table.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In 2005, the Compensation Committee did not award cash
incentive compensation under the Southern Copper Corporation Incentive
Compensation Plan to Messrs.&nbsp;Oscar Gonz&#225;lez Rocha and Jose N. Chirinos.
The Compensation Committee under the Southern Copper Corporation Incentive
Compensation Plan determines annual cash incentive payments to our key salaried
employees. A target level of annual incentive compensation is established for
each eligible employee based on the level of responsibility attached to such
employee&#146;s position. For executive officers these targets are set at
competitive median levels. The Compensation Committee determines the officers&#146;
levels of responsibility after review of substantially equivalent positions
among our peers.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Under the Incentive Compensation Plan, awards to
employees are established from a predetermined target level, based upon
performance measured in the areas of production, safety and environmental at
two levels: individual and company-wide.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;page-break-after:avoid;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Under Section&nbsp;162(m)&nbsp;of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, we may not deduct, with certain
exceptions, compensation in excess of $1&nbsp;million to the Chief Executive
Officer and the four other highest paid executive officers as required to be
reported in our proxy statement. The Compensation Committee does not believe
that Section&nbsp;162(m)&nbsp;will have any immediate material impact on us
because, among other things, officer salaries principally enter into the
calculation of non-US source taxable income. Due to the availability of foreign
tax credits, the Company will not normally incur a U. S. tax liability on its
non-US source taxable income. The Compensation Committee will, however,
continue to monitor our executive compensation programs to ensure their
effectiveness and efficiency in light of our needs, including Section&nbsp;162(m).</font></p>

officers and selected employees with those of stockholders by providing an
incentive to manage our business as an owner with an equity stake. Awards
generally are made to selected officers and employees, and are made within
long-term incentive targets based upon analyses by us and consideration of each
executive&#146;s and employee&#146;s performance. In the case of the Chief Executive
Officer, the Stock Incentive Plan Committee also considers the Chief Executive

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter
for the Audit Committee, which is posted on our web site and is included as

forth the authority and responsibilities of the Audit Committee. The functions
of the Committee include approving the engagement of independent accountants,
reviewing and approving the fees, scope and timing of their other services, and
reviewing the audit plan and results of the audit. The Committee also reviews
our policies and procedures on internal auditing, accounting and financial
controls. The implementation and maintenance of internal controls are
understood to be primarily the responsibility of management.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Grupo Mexico, the ultimate
parent and our majority indirect stockholder, and our other affiliates, provide
various services to us. In 2005, these activities were principally related to
accounting, legal, tax, financial, treasury, human resources, price risk
assessment and hedging, purchasing, procurement and logistics, sales and
administrative and other support services. Grupo Mexico is reimbursed for these
services. The total amount paid by us to Grupo Mexico for such services in 2005
was $13.8&nbsp;million. We expect to continue to pay for these support services
going forward in an amount of $13.8 million per year.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The former holders of our Class&nbsp;A
Common Stock (the &#147;Class&nbsp;A Common Stock&#148;) until June&nbsp;2005 and their
affiliates purchase copper products and other products from us from time to
time at prices determined by reference to the LME and COMEX market price for
copper and published prices for other products, if available.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In 2005, we purchased from
Asarco $1.1&nbsp;million and sold to Asarco $11.6&nbsp;million of products,
principally sulfuric acid and silver.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Sociedad Minera Cerro
Verde S.A., an affiliate of Phelps Dodge Overseas Corporation and Climax
Molybdenum B.V., our stockholders until June&nbsp;2005, purchased
$1.5&nbsp;million of acid products from us in 2005 (through June).</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Cerro Wire and Cable LLC,
an affiliated company of one of our shareholders until June&nbsp;2005,

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On January&nbsp;15, 2004,
we entered into a tolling agreement with Asarco. Under terms of the agreement,
in the first quarter of 2004 we, through our wholly owned US subsidiary,
Southern Peru Limited (&#147;SPL&#148;), commenced delivering to Asarco, at its Amarillo,
Texas refinery, copper cathodes for conversion into copper rods, which we sell
to customers in the United States. We delivered 29,000 tons of copper during
2005 to the Asarco refinery. On July&nbsp;8, 2005 Asarco declared Force
Majeure, notifying&#160; SPL that because of a
strike at their facilities, they would be unable to accept shipments from us. Accordingly,
deliveries to the refinery were suspended and we had redirected the copper
otherwise intended for delivery to the refinery to other customers. At December&nbsp;31,
2005 we did not have copper at the Asarco refinery. We paid Asarco a tolling
charge upon our receipt of copper rods. These charges, $1.6 million in 2005,
are based on competitive market terms. Through June&nbsp;9, 2005 we sold a
portion of the copper treated by Asarco, approximately $13.7 million, to The
Marmon Group&#151;Cerro Wire, our stockholder until June&nbsp;9, 2005.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Additionally, in 2005 we
purchased $3.3 million and $0.7 million of industrial material from Higher
Technology S.A.C. and Servicios y Fabricaciones Mec&#225;nicas S.A.C., respectively.
Mr.&nbsp;Carlos Gonz&#225;lez, a son of our President and Chief Executive Officer,

million in 2005 of industrial materials from Soci&#233;t&#233; Fran&#231;aise des Bandes </font></p>

with other entities controlled by the family relating to mining and refining
services, the lease of office space, and air transportation and construction
services. These transactions amounted to approximately $3.7 in 2005.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">It is anticipated that in

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 9.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On March&nbsp;28, 2005,
our stockholders at a special meeting approved a transaction pursuant to which
our majority shareholder, Grupo Mexico, through its subsidiary, AMC, sold to us
its approximately 99.1463% shareholding in Minera Mexico (&#147;MM&#148;), in return for
the issuance to AMC of 67,207,640 million of our shares. The transaction
resulted in Grupo Mexico increasing its ownership share in us to 75.1% from its
prior 54.2%.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On April&nbsp;12, 2005, the Board of Directors
discontinued the Nominating Committee in view of the creation of the Special
Nominating Committee pursuant to an amendment of our Certificate, filed on March&nbsp;29,
2005. The Special Nominating Committee functions as a special committee to
nominate special independent directors to the Board. Pursuant to our
Certificate, a special independent director is any director who (i)&nbsp;satisfies
the independence requirements of the NYSE Listed Company Manual (or any other
exchange or association on which the Common Stock is listed) and (ii)&nbsp;is
nominated by the Special Nominating Committee. The Special Nominating Committee
has the right to nominate a number of special independent directors based on
the percentage of our Common Stock owned by all holders of our Common Stock,
other than Grupo Mexico and its affiliates.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Special Nominating Committee consists of three

Sacrist&#225;n (each an &#147;Initial Member&#148; and, together with their successors, &#147;Special
Designees&#148;) and such other director, who was initially Oscar Gonz&#225;lez Rocha and
is currently Armando Ortega, as may be appointed by the Board of Directors or
the &#147;Board Designee&#148;. The Board Designee will be selected annually by the Board
of Directors. The Special Designees will be selected annually by the members of
the Board who are special independent directors or Initial Members. Only
special independent directors can fill vacancies on the Special Nominating
Committee. Any member of the Special Nominating Committee may be removed at any
time by the Board of Directors for cause. The unanimous vote of all members of
the nominating committee will be necessary for the adoption of any resolution
or the taking of any action.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Certificate provides that the number of special

total number of directors on the Board of Directors multiplied by (b)&nbsp;the
percentage of Common Stock owned by all of the stockholders (other than Grupo
Mexico and its affiliates), rounded up to the next whole number. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the total number of persons nominated as special independent
directors cannot be less than two or greater than six.</font></p>

2006, the Board of Directors approved the nomination and determined that Messrs.&nbsp;Harold

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Board urges you to
read our amended by-laws (which are attached hereto as Appendix B) carefully
before voting on the proposed amendments to our by-laws below. The proposed
amendments would become effective immediately if they are approved by the
Common Stockholders as provided below. The proposed amendments are not
conditioned on the approval of all of the amendments and will become effective
independent of each other. Under the amended by-laws, your nominations for
directors and proposals for business intended to be presented at our 2007
annual meeting of stockholders must be received by us at our principal
executive office in the United States (2575 E. Camelback Rd. Suite&nbsp;500,
Phoenix, AZ 85016, USA) by January&nbsp;26, 2007.</font></p>

Eliminate Extraneous Provisions</font></i></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On May&nbsp;19, 2005, all of the holders of our former
Class&nbsp;A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share voluntarily converted (the
&#147;Conversion&#148;), on a share-for share basis, all of their shares of Class&nbsp;A
Common Stock, totaling in the aggregate 65,900,833 shares, into 65,900,833
newly-issued shares of Common Stock.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As a result of the Conversion, (1)&nbsp;no shares of
Class&nbsp;A Common Stock remain outstanding and no shares of Class&nbsp;A
Common Stock will be reissued, and (2)&nbsp;the number of authorized shares of
Common Stock is now 167,207,640 and there are outstanding 147,228,025 shares of
Common Stock. Upon the Conversion, the rights of the holders of Class&nbsp;A
Common Stock (1)&nbsp;to vote as a separate class with respect to the election
of directors of the Company, (2)&nbsp;to elect thirteen of the fifteen members
of the Board of Directors of the Company (3)&nbsp;and to have five votes per
share of Class&nbsp;A Common Stock when voting as a single class with the
Common Stock on all matters other than the election of directors were
eliminated. All holders of Common Stock now vote as a single class on all
matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, with each share of Common Stock
entitled to one vote.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our Board of Directors
believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders
to amend our by-laws to eliminate the extraneous provisions relating to the
retired series of Class&nbsp;A Common Stock. Such action would simplify our
bylaws and more accurately reflect the capital structure of the Company. These
amendments will have no effect on the rights of our Common Stockholders and are
reflected in Sections 1.02 and 1.08 of Article&nbsp;I, Section&nbsp;2.02, 2.03,
2.04, 2.09 and 2.11 of Article&nbsp;II, Section&nbsp;8.05 of Article&nbsp;VIII,
and Sections 9.15 and 9.17 of Article&nbsp;IX of our amended by-laws, which are
attached hereto as Appendix B and are incorporated herein by reference. This
proposal will be adopted upon the affirmative vote of 80 % of the voting power
of all shares of Common Stock entitled to vote.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 11.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our Board of Directors
believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders
to amend our by-laws to introduce a new provision for advance notice to
shareholders seeking to nominate directors or to propose other business at
annual or special meetings of the Common Stockholders. The effect of this
amendment is that Common Stockholders will have to comply with more stringent
notice requirements when seeking to nominate directors or propose business at
the Company&#146;s annual or special meetings of Common Stockholders. For instance,
shareholders will generally not be able to make nominations or proposals for
business more than one hundred and
twenty (120) days or less than ninety (90) days prior to the first anniversary
of the preceding year&#146;s annual meeting or the date of a scheduled special
meeting (in addition to previously established notice requirements). The new
notice requirements are reflected in Section&nbsp;2.03 of our amended
by-laws attached hereto as Appendix B and incorporated herein by reference.
This proposal will be adopted upon the affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of our Common Stock.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 11.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our Board of Directors
believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders
to amend our by-laws to substitute Grupo Mexico for Asarco in the &#147;Change in
Control&#148; definition in the by-laws. The effect of the substitution of Grupo
Mexico in the &#147;Change in Control&#148; definition is that a &#147;Change in Control&#148; will
be triggered when Grupo Mexico and its affiliates cease to own at least 51% of
the Company, rather than when Asarco no longer owns 35,000,000 shares of Class&nbsp;A
Common Stock. This change is appropriate since the Class&nbsp;A Common Stock no
longer exists and Asarco&#146;s former interest in the Company is owned entirely by
Grupo Mexico. This amendment is reflected in Section&nbsp;9.15 of our amended
by-laws attached hereto as Appendix B and incorporated herein by reference. This
proposal will be adopted upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes
cast at the annual meeting by stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting.</font></p>

Requirement</font></i></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 11.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our Board of Directors
believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders
to amend our by-laws to eliminate the 80% supermajority vote requirement. The
current 80% supermajority vote requirement requires that at least 80% of the
voting power of the outstanding Common Stock approve certain corporate actions
relating to Section&nbsp;1.02 of Article&nbsp;I, Sections 2.02, 2.04 and 2.09
of Article&nbsp;II and the proviso to Section&nbsp;8.05 of Article&nbsp;VIII of
our by-laws relating to the amendment of the foregoing Sections of the by-laws.
The foregoing Sections of the by-laws relate to Special Meetings, the Number,
Term of Office and Qualifications of the Board of Directors and the Election
and Removal of&#160; Directors. The effect of
this amendment is that the Board can more easily amend these Sections of the
by-laws in the future because the Board will no longer be obligated to seek
stockholder approval for an amendment of these Sections. This amendment is
reflected in the deletion of the proviso to Section&nbsp;8.05 of Article&nbsp;VIII
of our by-laws attached hereto as Appendix B and incorporated herein by
reference. This proposal will be adopted upon the affirmative vote of 80% of
the voting power of all shares of Common Stock entitled to vote.</font></p>

that it is in our best interest to increase the number of authorized shares of
Common Stock. The amendment will have the effect of allowing the Company to
issue more shares of Common Stock in the future. The Company&#146;s management is
considering recommending a stock split to the Board of Directors, but there can
be no assurance that the Board of Directors will take any action to effect a
stock split. When issued, the additional shares of Common Stock will have the
same rights and privileges as the shares of Common Stock currently authorized
and outstanding. No holder of any of our shares of Common Stock has preemptive
rights. Therefore, no stockholder will have any preferential right to purchase
any additional shares of our Common Stock when the new shares are issued.</font></p>

and 245 of the DGCL, the amendments to our Certificate must be approved also by
the holders of a majority of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.
</font>If approved by the Common
Stockholders, this proposed amendment will become effective upon the filing of
our Certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The
amendment is reflected in Article&nbsp;Four of the form of our Certificate,

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B> Item 20.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Indemnification of Directors and Officers  </B></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL, enables a corporation in its certificate of incorporation to eliminate or limit the
personal liability of a director for monetary damages for breach of the director's fiduciary duty, except (i)&nbsp;for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;pursuant to Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL
(providing for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions) or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which a director derived an improper
personal benefit. Our restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, eliminates the liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145
of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the
right of the corporation (a "derivative action")) if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that
indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with defense or settlement of such action, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any
indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be
granted by a corporation's charter,
by-laws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise. Our restated certificate of incorporation and our by-laws, as amended, provide for
indemnification of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law and as provided in our by-laws. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
by-laws provide indemnification rights to any of our officers or directors who, by reason of the fact that he or she is one of our officers or directors, is involved in a
legal proceeding of any nature if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. Such indemnification rights will include reimbursement for expenses incurred by such officer or director in advance
of the final disposition of such proceeding in accordance with the applicable provisions of Delaware law. Our by-laws provide that we may arrange for insurance covering such liabilities
and expenses arising from actions or omissions of a director or officer in his or her capacity as a corporate agent as is obtainable and is reasonable and appropriate in cost and amount. </FONT></P>

reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment

volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering
range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule&nbsp;424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than a 20&nbsp;percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;to

registrant pursuant to Section&nbsp;13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To

Section&nbsp;15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section&nbsp;15(d) of the Securities

as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by
a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Southern Copper Corporation's By-Laws were last amended with the approval of the stockholders on May&nbsp;4, 2006. Section&nbsp;1.02 of

Office and Qualifications of the Board of Directors, the Election and Removal of Directors, and the 80% supermajority vote requirement to amend the foregoing sections and proviso, were not amended
because the proposal submitted to the stockholders did not obtain the required 80% affirmative vote of the voting power of all shares of Common Stock entitled to vote on the proposal. 79.61% of the

in these sections to the Corporation's retired shares of Class&nbsp;A Common Stock and to a Board of Directors of fifteen members conflict with the Corporation's Certificate

more than fifteen. The Board of Directors has fixed the number of directors at thirteen. Pursuant to Section&nbsp;109 (b)&nbsp;of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the By-Laws may

thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i)
will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying
party of substantial rights and defenses; and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation
provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel (including local counsel) of the indemnifying party's choice at the indemnifying party's expense to

party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonably incurred fees, costs and
expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual
or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be
legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have
employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying
party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified
parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution
may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release

reason, the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of such

considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the Initial Placement (before deducting expenses) as set forth in the Final Memorandum.
Benefits received by the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed to be equal to the total purchase discounts and commissions as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, and benefits received by any other
Holders shall be deemed to be equal to the value of receiving Securities or New Securities, as applicable, registered under the Act. Benefits received by any underwriter shall be deemed to be equal to
the total underwriting discounts and commissions, as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses. Relative fault shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information provided by the indemnifying party, on the one hand, or by the indemnified party, on the other hand, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the
Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of
this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section, each person who controls a Holder within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of
such Holder shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Ladies
and Gentlemen: </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
are acting as special counsel for Southern Copper Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the filing by the Company with the Securities and Exchange
Commission of a registration statement (the "Registration Statement") on Form&nbsp;S-4 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), relating to the proposed
issuance of US$400,000,000 of 7.500% Notes due 2035 (the "Exchange Notes") in exchange for US$400,000,000 of 7.500% Notes due 2035 (the "Original Notes"). The Exchange Notes are to be issued pursuant
to an indenture dated as of July&nbsp;27, 2005 relating to the 7.500% Notes due 2035 (the "Indenture"), between the Company and The Bank of New York, as trustee (the "Trustee"). Capitalized terms
used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
connection with this opinion, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as
originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. In
making our examination of executed documents, we have assumed that the parties other than the Company had or will have the power, corporate or other, to enter into and perform all obligations
thereunder and have also assumed the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate or other, and execution and delivery by such parties of such documents and the validity and binding effect
thereof. We have also examined such records and documents and certificates of public officials and of your representatives as we have deemed necessary to form&nbsp;a basis for the opinion expressed
herein. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
connection with this opinion we have examined the Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of May&nbsp;9, 2006, by and between the Company and Citigroup Global
Markets&nbsp;Inc. (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), the form of the Exchange Notes, the Registration Statement, the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company as
presently in effect and certain Resolutions of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company relating to the filing of the Registration Statement. We have also examined such records
and documents and certificates of public officials and of your representatives as we have deemed necessary to form&nbsp;a basis for the opinions expressed herein. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Based
on and subject to the foregoing and subject also to the comments and qualifications set forth below, and having regard to legal considerations that we deem relevant, we are of the
opinion that when the Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act and when the Exchange Notes have been duly executed and authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the
provisions of the Indenture and issued in exchange for the Original Notes pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Exchange Notes will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company
entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and enforceable in accordance with their terms except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
fraudulent conveyance or transfer or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>except
as the enforceability of the Exchange Notes is subject to the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), including
without limitation (i)&nbsp;the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy and (ii)&nbsp;concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith
and fair dealing. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
connection with the foregoing opinion, we have also assumed that at the time of the issuance and delivery of the Exchange Notes there will not have occurred any change in law
affecting the validity, legally binding character or enforceability of the Exchange Notes and that the issuance and delivery of
the Exchange Notes, all of the terms of the Exchange Notes and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder will comply with applicable law and with each requirement or restriction
imposed by any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company and will not result in a default under or a breach of any agreement or instrument then binding upon the Company. </FONT></P>

opinion is limited to the matters stated herein and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated herein. </FONT></P>

express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the federal securities laws of the United States, the laws of the State of New York and the Delaware General
Corporation Law. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
hereby consent to the use of our name under the heading "Legal Opinions" in the prospectus constituting a part of the Registration Statement and to the filing of this opinion as

Subject to, and effective upon, the acceptance for exchange of all or any portion of the Old Notes tendered herewith in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer (including, if
the Exchange Offer is extended or amended, the terms and conditions of any such extension or amendment), the undersigned hereby exchanges, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, Southern
Copper Corporation all right, title and interest in and to such Old Notes as are being tendered herewith. The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Exchange Agent as its true and
lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of the undersigned (with full knowledge that the Exchange Agent also acts as the agent of Southern Copper Corporation, in connection with the
Exchange Offer) to cause the Old Notes to be assigned, transferred and exchanged. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
undersigned represents and warrants that it has full power and authority to tender, exchange, assign and transfer the Old Notes and to acquire New Notes issuable upon the exchange of
such tendered Old Notes, and that, when the same are accepted for exchange, Southern Copper Corporation will acquire good and unencumbered title to the tendered Old Notes, free and clear of all liens,
restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claim. The undersigned also warrants that it will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the

the issuance of New Notes in exchange therefor shall constitute performance in full by Southern Copper Corporation of its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, dated May&nbsp;9, 2006
among Southern Copper Corporation and Citigroup Global Markets&nbsp;Inc., as representative for the Initial Purchasers, and that Southern Copper Corporation shall have no further obligations or
liabilities thereunder. The undersigned will comply with its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement. The undersigned has read and agrees to all terms of the Exchange Offer. </FONT></P>

Corporation may not be required to exchange any of the Old Notes tendered hereby and, in such event, the Old Notes not exchanged will be returned to the undersigned at the address shown above,
promptly following the expiration or termination of the Exchange Offer. In addition, Southern Copper Corporation may amend the Exchange Offer at any time prior to the Expiration Date if any of the
conditions set forth under "The Exchange Offer&#151;Conditions to the Exchange Offer" occur. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
undersigned understands that tenders of Old Notes pursuant to any one of the procedures described in the Prospectus and in the instructions attached hereto will, upon Southern Copper
Corporation acceptance for exchange of such tendered Old Notes, constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and Southern Copper Corporation upon the terms and subject to the conditions of
the Exchange Offer. The undersigned recognizes that, under circumstances set forth in the Prospectus, Southern Copper Corporation may not be required to accept for exchange any of the Old Notes. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;By

Old Notes if certificates representing such notes are to be forwarded herewith, or, unless an agent's message is utilized, if delivery of such certificates is to be made by book-entry
transfer to the account maintained by DTC, pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Prospectus under "The Exchange Offer&#151;Procedures for Tendering." For a holder to properly tender notes
pursuant to the exchange offer, a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or a manually signed facsimile thereof), together with any signature guarantees and any other documents
required by these Instructions, or a properly transmitted agent's message in the case of a book entry transfer, must be received by the Exchange Agent at its address set forth herein on or prior to
the expiration date, and either (1)&nbsp;certificates representing such notes must be received by the exchange agent at its address, or (2)&nbsp;such notes must be transferred pursuant to the
procedures for book-entry transfer described in the Prospectus under "The Exchange Offer&#151;Book-Entry Transfer" and a book-entry confirmation must be
received by the exchange agent on or prior to the expiration date. A holder who desires to tender notes and who cannot comply with procedures set forth herein for tender on a timely basis or whose
notes are not immediately available must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures discussed below. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;THE
METHOD OF DELIVERY OF THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, THE OUTSTANDING NOTES AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT IS AT THE ELECTION AND SOLE RISK OF THE HOLDER. INSTEAD
OF DELIVERY BY MAIL, HOLDERS SHOULD USE AN OVERNIGHT OR HAND DELIVERY SERVICE. IN ALL CASES, HOLDERS SHOULD ALLOW FOR SUFFICIENT TIME TO ENSURE DELIVERY TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION
OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER. HOLDERS MAY REQUEST THEIR BROKER, DEALER, COMMERCIAL BANK, TRUST COMPANY OR NOMINEE TO EFFECT THESE TRANSACTIONS FOR SUCH HOLDER. HOLDERS SHOULD NOT SEND ANY NOTE, LETTER OF
TRANSMITTAL OR OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENT TO SOUTHERN COPPER CORPORATION. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If

prior to the expiration date, or (3)&nbsp;the procedures for book-entry transfer (including delivery of an agent's message) cannot be completed on or prior to the expiration date, such
holder may nevertheless tender such notes with the effect that such tender will be deemed to have been received on or prior to the expiration date if the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in
the Prospectus under "The Exchange Offer&#151;Guaranteed Delivery Procedures" are followed. Pursuant to such procedures, (1)&nbsp;the tender must be made by or through an eligible guarantor
institution (as defined in Instruction 2 below), (2)&nbsp;a properly completed and duly executed notice of guaranteed delivery, substantially in the form provided by Southern Copper Corporation
herewith, or an agent's message with respect to a guaranteed delivery that is accepted by Southern Copper Corporation, must be received by the exchange agent on or prior to the expiration date, and
(3)&nbsp;the certificates for the tendered notes, in proper form for transfer (or a book-entry confirmation of the transfer of such notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC as
described in the Prospectus) together with a Letter of Transmittal (or manually signed facsimile thereof) properly completed and duly executed, with any required signature guarantees and any other
documents required by the Letter of Transmittal, or a properly transmitted agent's message, must be received by the exchange agent within three New York Stock Exchange,&nbsp;Inc. trading days after
the execution of the notice of guaranteed delivery. </FONT></P>

transfer of the notes into the name of the person withdrawing such notes, and (ii)&nbsp;a properly completed irrevocable proxy authorizing such person to effect such withdrawal on behalf of such

Internal Revenue Service that such holder is subject to backup withholding as a result of failure to report all interest or dividends or (ii)&nbsp;the Internal Revenue Service has notified the

the Old Notes in connection with the exchange offer, then the amount of any transfer tax (whether imposed on the registered holder or any other persons) will be payable by the tendering holder. If
satisfactory evidence of payment of the transfer taxes or exemption therefrom is not submitted with the Letter of Transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to the

determined by it not to be in proper form or the acceptance of which may, in the opinion of Southern Copper Corporation's counsel, be unlawful. Southern Copper Corporation also reserves the absolute
right, in its sole discretion, to waive or amend any of the conditions of the exchange offer or to waive any defect or irregularity in the tender of any particular notes, whether or not similar
defects or irregularities are waived in the case of other tenders. Southern Copper Corporation's interpretations of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer (including, without limitation, the
instructions in this Letter of Transmittal) shall be final and binding. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted. Unless waived, any irregularities in connection with tenders
must be cured within such time as Southern Copper Corporation shall determine. None of Southern Copper Corporation, the exchange agent or any other person will be under any duty to give notification
of any defects or irregularities in such tenders or will incur any liability to holders for failure to give such notification. Tenders of such notes shall not be deemed to have been made until such
irregularities have been cured or waived. Any notes received by the exchange agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned by

I understand that if I do not provide a taxpayer identification number by the time of payment, 28% of all reportable cash payments made to me thereafter will be withheld until I provide a taxpayer
identification number to the payer and that, if I do not provide my taxpayer identification number within sixty days, such retained amounts shall be remitted to the IRS as backup withholding. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the
holder is not acting on behalf of any person who could not truthfully make these statements. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To
participate in the exchange offer, holders must represent to Southern Copper Corporation that each of these statements is true. If the holder is a broker-dealer that will receive New
Notes for its own account in exchange for Old Notes that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, it must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus
meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such New Notes. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
you wish to have us tender any or all of your Old Notes, please so instruct us by completing and returning to us the form entitled "Instructions To Registered Holder And/Or

discharged by the foregoing. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You
will establish a book-entry account with respect to each series of the Old Securities at The Depository Trust Company (the "Book-Entry
