<p align="right" style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-align:right;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">October 10, 2007&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Southern Copper
Corporation, a subsidiary of Grupo Mexico (&#147;SCC&#148;), announced that yesterday the
last three labor unions, which had not signed a c<font style="letter-spacing:-.1pt;">ollective bargaining </font>agreement with SCC, ended an eight-day work
stoppage at SCC&#146;s Cuajone, Toquepala and Ilo units.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">SCC accomplished this
with the assistance of the Labor Ministry, which co-signed the minutes of the
agreement with the unions in the City of Ilo, Peru.&#160; SCC and the unions have given the Labor
Ministry the authority to resolve all pending matters to completely finalize
the c<font style="letter-spacing:-.1pt;">ollective bargaining</font>
negotiations with the three unions.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The workers of these
three unions returned to work starting with the first shift today.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The illegal work stoppage
did not affect the production of copper at Cuajone, Toquepala or Ilo in Peru,
which remained operating under the direct supervision of the labor authorities,
which permitted the entry of the workers of the other five unions, of key
personnel of SCC, and of additional employees hired by SCC to the facilities
during the illegal work stoppage.&#160; SCC
commends and thanks all these employees for their cooperation and efforts in
maintaining normal operations at the units.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">SCC appreciates the
dialogue and negotiating attitude of the unions and its workers which permitted
the resolution of the differences with the unions.&#160; SCC also recognizes the participation of the
Labor Ministry in the resolution of the conflict.</font></p>
