  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Last
  quarter we reported our satisfaction with the recovery of metal prices
  compared to their 2009 level.&nbsp; At that
  time we commented on the market&#146;s recognition and anticipation of upcoming
  recovery in world demand for basic metals particularly copper, molybdenum,
  silver and zinc, which are the principal commodities produced by Southern
  Copper.</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;">However,
  during the last quarter the market mood has deteriorated due to concerns
  about the recovery of the U.S. demand, China&#146;s growth, and Europe&#146;s debt
  crisis.&nbsp; As a result, during the second
  quarter of this year, we have seen high volatility and weakness in basic
  metal 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;">Even
  though we believe there is a chance of a slowdown in the growth rate of the
  world economy, we also think that we&#146;re not close to a recession or the so
  called double dip, particularly in basic metals.</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;">Focusing
  on copper, on the demand side, what we see is that the red metals physical
  consumption is consistently increasing worldwide.&nbsp; According to CRU, during the second quarter
  of 2010 copper demand grew by 4.8 percent worldwide when compared to the
  first quarter of this year, yielding a small deficit for the quarter.</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
  main demand drivers of growth came from the emerging economies lead by China
  and the recovery of physical consumption in the U.S. and Europe.</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 Chinese government continues to employ monetary tightening measures to
  control inflation, growth remains robust and should continue to consume
  growing amounts of raw materials. Chinese GDP grew 10.3 percent in the second
  quarter of this year versus 11.9 percent in the first quarter of 2010.&nbsp; Chinese fixed asset investment in urban
  areas in the first six months of the year increased by 25.5 percent versus a
  year ago and fixed assets investment in rural areas for the first six months
  of the year increased by 22.1 percent.</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;">These
  are very strong indicators of growth and activity in China as well as some
  other Asian countries.&nbsp; During the
  second quarter of this year as well the U.S. and European countries demand
  for refined copper increased by 22 and 4</font></p>

  respectively, when compared to a first quarter of this year.&nbsp; These are very positive developments that
  support our conviction of higher physical demand from now on.</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
  the supply side, current production growth is not catching up with demand
  performance.&nbsp; A clear sign of this is
  the consistent reduction in the combined copper inventories of the London
  Metal Exchange, COMEX and Shanghai warehouses.&nbsp; At their latest peak, in February&nbsp;of
  this year, when the sum of their combined inventories was 815,000 tons.&nbsp; Currently, as of last Friday, they were
  approximately 625,000 tons, a reduction of 23 percent in four months.</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;">For
  the rest of the year, we believe that physical demand should increase even
  further after the end of the Northern Hemisphere summer.</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;">Looking
  into molybdenum, as you know it is our first byproduct.&nbsp; In the second quarter of 2010 this metal
  represented 13 percent of the company&#146;s sales.&nbsp; We&#146;re currently seeing consumption coming
  back to where it was before the economic crisis.&nbsp; For the rest of 2010 we are expecting a
  relatively balanced market for molybdenum.</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;">Silver
  represented six percent of our sales in the second quarter.&nbsp; We think that silver prices will have
  strong support for the remaining of 2010 due to higher industrial demand as
  well as inflation concerns.</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;">Zinc
  has represented four percent of our sales in the second quarter and has very
  good long term fundaments due to significant industrial consumption.&nbsp; However inventories are currently at
  relatively high levels, affecting zinc 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;">Looking
  into Southern Copper production, we&#146;re reporting a 4.8 reduction in Cooper
  from our mines when comparing the second quarter of 2010 with the same period
  of 2009.&nbsp; The major reason for this is
  an ore grade reduction at Cuajone and La Caridad of eight and nine percent respectively,
  which resulted in lower copper production of 5,300 tons.&nbsp; The remaining production decrease</font></p>

  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">It
  should be pointed out that our second quarter 2010 production has increased

  the Cuajone ore grade.</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 second half of 2010, we&#146;re expecting higher production from the Peruvian
  units due to ore grade recoveries and some SX-EW production from Cananea
  starting in September.</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;">Regarding
  our metallurgical facilities, we&#146;re glad to report a 21 percent increase in
  rod production due to higher sales in Mexico and the U.S.&nbsp; allowing the Company to capture important
  copper premiums over the spot price.&nbsp;
  This is a good indication of the recovery of durable goods demand in
  the U.S. and Mexican economies.</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

  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Regarding
  molybdenum, we had record production in the second quarter of this year
  reaching 5,500 tons, a 26 percent increase when compared to the second
  quarter of 2009.&nbsp; The better molybdenum
  production was the result of improved recoveries and higher ore grades at the
  Toquepala mine, which increased production by 55 percent.&nbsp; The Cuajone mine increased production by 37
  percent, and La Caridad by 10 percent.&nbsp;
  This higher production at all of our operations was the result of
  slightly better ore grades and recovery.</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

  production decreased by eight and five percent, respectively, when compared
  to the second quarter of 2009 due to lower ore grades at our Charcas mine as
  well as lower production in Santa Eulalia due to flooding problems which has
  been since then solved.</font></p>

  into the Cananea situation, after the termination of the Labor Relations by
  enforcement of the law, the Company has aggressively started the repair of
  the facilities and currently has more than 3000 workers and contractor&#146;s
  personnel who are working at the mine to restore the facilities.&nbsp; The estimated cost to restore this mining
  unit is approximately $114 million.&nbsp;
  The Company&#146;s goal is to reach full capacity by February&nbsp;of 2011.</font></p>

  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Expansion
  and capital projects. As you have seen in our press release, on July&nbsp;22,
  2010 the Board of Directors approved a five year $3.8 billion capital
  investment program in the state of Sonora, Mexico to expand production and
  improve cost competitiveness. The program considered the following projects:</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;">A
  $2.1 billion investment to expand Cananea&#146;s annual production from 180,000
  tons to 450,000 tons of copper, an increase of 270,000 tons or 150 percent
  from the current production capacity.&nbsp;
  The major components of the Cananea capex are a new concentrator with
  an estimated annual production of 188,000 toms of copper, and three SX EW
  plants and a Quebalix circuit with a combined copper capacity of 82,000 tons
  per year. The plan also includes a molybdenum plant with an estimated annual
  capacity of 2,000 tons.</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
  first step of the Cananea investments is the restarted of the Quebalix III
  construction.&nbsp; A Quebalix is a crushing
  and conveying system for the leaching material that is used by the SX-EW
  plants.&nbsp; This Quebalix has a capital
  investment of $56 million.&nbsp; It should
  be mentioned that 80 percent of this investment was made prior to the labor
  disputes. Currently the Company is at the final stage of analyzing
  contractor&#180;s proposals to start building the third leaching plant at Cananea
  (SXEW III), which will have a capacity of 32,000 tons and an estimated
  capital investment of $180 million.&nbsp;
  This plant is expected to start production in 2012.</font></p>

  our Cananea production as part of the company base again. And Cananea was a
  low cost operation that will certainly influence positively the cash cost of
  the company from now on. I think that for 2011 at full capacity with Cananea
  we should probably see the cash cost lower by between 15 and 20 cents from
  its current level before by product credits.</font></p>

  good morning. I want to talk to some the cash cost during the second quarter.
  I see a huge increase versus the first quarter where you had a credit and now
  we are back into a positive cost even though we have you guys register a
  significant increase in (inaudible) prices went up. So you can elaborate
  basically what happened between the first and the second quarter in the cost
  and I&#146;m providing a little bit more detail.</font></p>

  to confirm on Felipe&#180;s question. The production in second half of the year
  should wrap up significantly in order for sales volume to reach the 500,000
  tons of copper guidance. I just want to confirm, is this correct because you
  are way behind that guidance if we have to analysis what we have seen in the
  first half.</font></p>

  and that turn should be - should be consolidating and that&#146;s why we increase

  exactly. I&#146;ll try. So, Southern Copper being the surviving entity I would
  assume Asarco would not be a guarantor of those bonds. But if they are not a
  guarantor, would Southern Copper continue to disclose the guarantee entity to
  bond holders going forward?</font></p>

  question that I have is just going back to the CapEx. Would you mind to just
  clarify the timing of some of the projects for me, i.e. when they would be
  completed? Specifically I&#146;m talking about the new mine, Pilares, and also
  just the expansions of Toquepala and Cuajone.</font></p>

  the straight answer to your question is no. But in Peru there is no
  discussion about raising the royalties. Obviously when Australia went out
  asking for higher taxes some persons in the political arena in both Mexico
  and Peru start talking about that &#151; that was just talk &#151; nothing particularly
  specifically has been &#151; has been presented or indicated about this by the
  government. Armando go ahead.</font></p>

  congressmen launching or making statements regarding the likelihood of a potential

  The concrete question is yes, yes of course. I mean, this transaction needs
  to be approved by all the stockholders whether the controlling stockholder or
  the minority stockholders. It needs approval upon Delaware law by all
  stockholders. I was emphasizing the aspect that again upon Delaware law, the
  very duty of the independent directors of the special committee is precisely
  to ensure that the interests of minority stockholders is again safeguarded,
  is taken into account on a specific basis. And therefore, when this body is
  formed, it is empowered to engage their financial, legal and other experts
  for example, mining experts, or any other expert that they deem appropriate
  in order to help them independently to assess the merits and to analyze the
  merits of this transaction.</font></p>
