<FONT SIZE=3><P>To the Shareholders of <B>Compa&ntilde;&iacute;a de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A.</P>
</B>
<P>1. We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of <B>Compa&ntilde;&iacute;a de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. </B>(a Peruvian company) <B>and subsidiaries</B> (together, the Company) as of  December 31, 2002 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.   We did not audit the financial statements of Minera Yanacocha S.R.L., an equity accounted affiliated entity in which the Company has an 43.65 percent interest, as of December 31, 2002 and 2003 and for the years then ended. Those statements have been audited by others auditors, whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Minera Yanacocha S.R.L., is based solely on the reports of the others auditors. In the cons
olidated financial statements of the Company, as derived from the financial statements of Minera Yanacocha S.R.L., the Company's investment and share in the net income in this entity amounts to approximately S/1,051.7 million and S/1,049.8 million at December 31, 2002 and 2003, and approximately S/344.7 million and S/491.6 million for the years then ended, respectively.  The financial statements of Compa&ntilde;&iacute;a de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and for the year then ended were audited by others auditors who have ceased operations, and whose report dated February 27, 2002 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.</P>

<P>2. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Peru.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit and the reports of the independent auditors of Minera Yanacocha S.R.L. provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.</P>

<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>3. In our opinion, based on our audit and on the report of the auditors of Minera Yanacocha S.R.L., the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of <B>Compa&ntilde;&iacute;a de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A.</B> <B>and subsidiaries</B> as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Peru.</P>

<P>4. Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the IAS 39, Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement, and together with its affiliate Minera Yanacocha S.R.L., modified its accounting policy to record its long-lived assets retirement obligations, see notes 2 and 3.</P>

</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=1><P>(i)&#9;During 2003, the Company adquired 1,572,000 shares of its subsidiary Inversiones Colquijirca S.A. at a price of S/1 per share. As a consequence of such transaction, the interest in Inversiones Colquijirca S.A. increased from 59.02 percent to 59.90 percent as of December 31, 2003.</P>

<P>(ii)&#9;The Shareholders' Meetings of Minera Shila S.A.C. and Compa&ntilde;&iacute;a de Exploraciones, Desarrollo e Inversiones Mineras S.A.C. - CEDIMIN held in 2002 approved the merger of both entities. Effective January 2, 2003, Minera Shila S.A.C. was merged by Compa&ntilde;&iacute;a de Exploraciones, Desarrollo e Inversiones Mineras S.A.C. - CEDIMIN.</P>

<P>(iii)&#9;On March 30, 2002, the Company transferred the 100 percent of its interest in Minera Huallanca S.A.C. (Huallanca) to BHL - Per&uacute; S.A.C., by selling its Huallanca shares at a price of US$2,000,000. From this amount, US$1,500,000 is due in three equal semi-annual installments finishing on September 30, 2004 and the remaining US$500,000 is due on September 30, 2006 provided that: (i) the level of economic reserves measured between September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2006 allows Huallanca to produce 15,000 metric tons per month of mineral and (ii) the average price of zinc is higher than US$1,050 metric tons in that period.  If these conditions are not met, the final price of the transaction will be reduced to US$1,500,000.  This transaction generated a loss amounting to S/6,739,000 (assuming a sales price of US$1,500,000) which is separately presented in the consolidated statements of income.</P>

<P>(iv)&#9;On April 2, 2002, the Company sold to third parties the 100 percent of its interest in Minera Yanaquihua S.A.C. Under the sale agreement, the buyers will pay royalties equal to a percentage of the net sales of Minera Yanaquihua S.A.C.; the royalty payment percentages will be equal to 5 percent in 2004, 6 percent in 2005, 7 percent in 2006 and 8 percent in 2007. Under the contract, the buyers have an option to forego continued royalty payments and to buy out the annual royalties section of the agreement for an amount equal to US$3,000,000; if this option has not been exercised at December 31, 2007, the royalties will increase to 10 percent of yearly net sales effective January 1st, 2008.  The Company's former carrying amount of the investment of S/5,346,000 (US$1,492,000) is shown as a long - term account receivable.  No income was recognized on this transaction. As of December 31, 2003, the Company recognized an allowance for this receivable, net of payables of S/404,000.  The allowance amounts to
 S/4,942,000 and is presented in the general and administrative expenses caption of the consolidated statements of income.</P>

<B><P>  2.&#9;Significant accounting principles and practices</P>
</B><P>In the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements, Management has followed International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) effective in Peru as of December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003.  The significant accounting principles and practices used are summarized below: </P>
</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=1><DIR>
<DIR>

</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=1><P>(a)&#9;Use of estimates and assumptions -</P>
<P>The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in Peru requires Management to make certain estimates and assumptions.  These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. </P>

<P>(b)&#9;Comparative financial statements -</P>
<P>&#9;Figures presented in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2001 and 2002 have been inflation adjusted to reflect the change in the National Wholesale Price index (IPM) at December 31, 2003.</P>

<P>Certain figures of the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2001 and 2002 have been reclassified to conform to presentation standards adopted for 2003 financial reporting purposes.</P>

<P>(c)&#9;Financial statements adjusted by inflation -</P>
<P>The consolidated accompanying financial statements have been prepared from the Company's accounting records that are maintained in nominal Peruvian currency and adjusted to reflect changes in the National Wholesale Price Level index (IPM).  The inflationary/deflationary price variation according the IPM index was as follows, in percentage terms: </P>

<P>(d)&#9;Principles of consolidation - </P>
<P>The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Buenaventura and the accounts of those subsidiaries in which the Company possesses more than 50 percent equity participation. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. </P>

<P>(e)&#9;Cash and cash equivalents -</P>
<P>Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. </P>

<P>(f)&#9;Inventories -</P>
<P>Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated sales price obtainable in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated selling and distribution expenses.  </P>

<P>The accrual for obsolescence is based on an item-by-item analysis completed by Management and related amounts are charged to expense in the period in which the obsolescence is deemed to have occurred.</P>

<P>(g)&#9;Investments in shares -</P>
<P>Until December 31, 2002, investments in which the Company's interest is lower than 20 percent were stated at cost, less any permanent value impairment. Effective January 1, 2003, the Company has adopted IAS 39, Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement. Under the requirements of this standard, such investments must be recorded at fair value and changes in the such value must be separately presented in the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders'  equity. The Company has recorded a charge to retained earnings by S/5,679,000, corresponding to the initial adoption of this standard. The corresponding dividends are credited to income when declared.</P>

<P>Investments in entities in which the Company's ownership is greater than 20 percent but less than 50 percent are accounted for by the equity method, recognizing the Company's proportionate share in the results of the affiliates in the consolidated statements of income.  The measurement and reporting currency of affiliates is the Peruvian Nuevo Sol, with the exception of Yanacocha whose measurement and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The translation of the financial statements of Yanacocha results in exchange differences arising from translating (a) income and expense items at the exchange rates prevailing on the individual transaction dates, (b) assets and liabilities at the closing exchange rate, and (c) equity </P>
<P>accounts at the historical exchange rates. The net exchange difference is classified in equity until further disposal of the net investment. </P>

<P>The purchase method is used to record business acquisitions. Under this method, the assets and liabilities of acquired businesses are recorded at fair value and any difference between the amount paid and the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired is recognized in the balance sheet as a mining concession or goodwill.</P>

<P>For companies in which the Company's ownership is between 20 and 50 percent, any amount paid in excess of book value of the shares is reported in the Investment caption.  The Company presents in this caption amounts paid over the book value of Yanacocha shares, and amortizes this amount using the units-of-production method, see Note 11(e).</P>

<P>&nbsp;</P>

<P>In 2003, the subsidiary Sociedad Minera El Brocal S.A.A. (El Brocal) modified the useful lives of its assets, based on the current exploitation plans for the mine site and the existing proven and probable reserves, being the maximum limit the useful lives of the fixed assets. According to the current plans of this subsidiary, the mining unit will operate until year 2011, date in which the reserves </P>
<P>will be depleted. The change in the useful lives resulted in an increased expense of approximately S/885,000, net of the minority interest.</P>

<P>The useful life assigned and the depreciation method chosen by the Company are reviewed periodically to ensure that the method and the depreciation period are consistent with the economic benefit and life expectations for use of property, plant and equipment items.</P>

<P>(i)&#9;Exploration and mine development costs -</P>
<P>Exploration costs are charged to expense as incurred.  </P>
<P>When it is determined that a mineral property can be economically developed, the costs incurred to develop it, including the costs to further delineate the ore body and remove overburden to initially expose the ore body, are capitalized. In addition, expenditures that increase significantly the economic reserves in the mining units under exploitation are capitalized.  Mine development costs are amortized using the units-of-production method.  On-going development expenditures to maintain production are charged to operations as incurred.</P>

<P>(j)&#9;Joint venture agreements -</P>
<P>The Company has entered into joint venture agreements with other mining companies for the purpose of exploring potential mining sites.  The associated exploration costs are recognized using the pro-rata share method and are charged to expense when incurred.  </P>

<P>(k)&#9;Mining concessions and goodwill -</P>
<P>The mining concessions balance corresponds to the amounts paid in excess of fair value of net assets acquired in the purchase of Compa&ntilde;&iacute;a de Exploraciones, Desarrollo e Inversiones Mineras S.A.C. - CEDIMIN (Cedimin), Inversiones Colquijirca S.A. (Colquijirca), Sociedad Minera El Brocal S.A.A. (El Brocal) and Consorcio Energ&eacute;tico de Huancavelica S.A. (Conenhua). The mining concession balances corresponding to Colquijirca and El Brocal are amortized using the units-of-production method, while the mining concession balances corresponding to Cedimin and Conenhua are amortized using the straight-line method over a period of 15 and 10 years, respectively. </P>

<P>Annually, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of mining concessions and assesses whether any potential impairment issues exist respective to recoverability. If it is evident that the mining concessions and the goodwill are impaired, the Company provides for the impairment loss in the consolidated statements of income.</P>

<P>(l)&#9;Impairment of assets -</P>
<P>The Company reviews for and evaluates the potential impact of impairment on its assets when events or changes in circumstance occur that indicate the book value may not be recoverable.  An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the book value of an asset exceeds the higher of its net selling price or value in use.  The value in use of an asset is generally calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to be earned from continual use of the asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life.  An impairment loss recognized in a previous year is reversed if events or changes occur that indicate the estimates used when the impairment loss was recognized should be adjusted to reflect a more favorable cash flow scenario.  The future cash flow assumptions used include, among other items, estimates of recoverable ounces and metric tonnes, estimates of realizable prices and costs, and estimates of production quantities.  Assumptions in which estimated future cash
 flows are based are subject to risk and uncertainty.  Differences between assumptions and market conditions and/or the Company's development profile could have a material effect on the financial situation and results of operations of the Company.</P>
<B>
</B><P>(m)&#9;Accruals - </P>
<P>An accrual is recognized only when the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that resources of the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and the related amount can be reasonably estimated.  Accruals are revised periodically and are adjusted to reflect the best available information at the date of the consolidated balance sheets. </P>

<P>(n)&#9;Accrual for mine closing - </P>
<P>See note 3(a) for further information about the change in the accounting principle.</P>

<P>(o)&#9;Deferred stripping costs -</P>
<P>The subsidiary El Brocal has deferred certain costs incurred in the expansion of the Tajo Norte mining site (the expected life of Tajo Norte is 8 years from December 31, 2003) with the intent to reasonably match revenues and production costs. Those costs are commonly referred as &quot;deferred stripping costs&quot; and are incurred in mining activities that are associated with the removal of waste rock.</P>

<P>The deferred accounting stripping method used by El Brocal is generally accepted in the mining industry where mining operations have diverse grades and waste-to-ore ratios; however, some mining companies expense waste removal costs as incurred.  If the Company were to expense stripping costs as incurred, there could be greater volatility in the Company's period-to-period results of operations.</P>

<P>In order to calculate the amount of deferred stripping cost to record as normal period expense, Management obtains a coefficient by dividing the estimated tons of waste material to move by the estimated tons of mineral to be extracted during the useful life of the related area.  This coefficient is estimated to be 8.18 MT of waste material requiring to be moved to obtain 1 MT of extracted mineral (7.47 MT of waste material requiring to be moved to obtain 1 MT of extracted mineral as of December 31, 2002).  The actual coefficient  was 11.13/1 (10.48/1 in 2002).</P>

<P>Costs related to additional quantities of waste that must be moved to obtain 1 MT of mineral are deferred when the actual waste material extracted is higher than the estimate; likewise, these costs are amortized when actual waste mineral extraction is lower than the estimate. </P>

<P>The amortization  of the deferred stripping costs will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements of income over the life of the Tajo Norte area, based on proven and probable reserves, so that no unamortized balance remains at mine closure (there were no amortization expenses in prior years and in the current year).  Management expects to begin the amortization of the deferred stripping costs in 2006.</P>

<P>(p)&#9;Recognition of revenues, costs and expenses -</P>
<P>Sales of concentrates are recorded at the time of shipment in the case of export sales or, when the concentrates physically pass to the customer's warehouse for domestic sales.  Sales are recorded at estimated value according to preliminary billings.  The sales amount is then adjusted in the period in which final billings are released.  When it is evident that the quotations to be used in the final billings are lower than those used in the preliminary billing, the excess is reversed in the period in which final prices are known.</P>

<P>Costs and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis.</P>

<P>(q)&#9;Foreign currency transactions -</P>
<P>Transactions occurring in a foreign currency are recorded in local Peruvian currency by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate at the transaction date.  Exchange gains and losses resulting from differences between the closing exchange rate and the exchange rate used to initially record transactions, are recognized in the consolidated statements of income in the period in which they arise, see Note 5, and are presented in the caption  &quot;gain (loss) from exposure to inflation&quot;. </P>

<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>(r)&#9;Income tax and workers' profit sharing -</P>
<P>The current income tax and workers' profit sharing balances are calculated and recorded pursuant to current legal regulations effective in Peru.  Following the balance sheet liability method, the Company recognizes the effect of temporary differences between book and tax basis of assets and liabilities to the extent that such differences result in a deferred tax liability.  Should a deferred asset arise, it is not recognized unless it is more likely than not that it will be recoverable.</P>

<P>(s)&#9;Contingencies -</P>
<P>Contingencies identified are assessed as remote, possible or probable.  When a loss contingency is viewed to be possible, it is disclosed together with a range of possible loss, when determinable.  When a loss contingency is viewed to be probable, it is disclosed and an accrual as to the most likely loss scenario is incorporated to the financial statements.  </P>

<P>Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements; however, they may be disclosed in notes to the financial statements if it is probable that such contingent assets will be realized. </P>

<P>(t)&#9;Derivative instruments -</P>
<P>Until December 31, 2002, the Company used to disclose in notes to the consolidated financial statements the fair value of the derivative instruments. Effective January 1, 2003, IAS 39, Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement, is in force. Following we describe the changes resulting from the adoption of this standard:</P>

<P>The fair value of derivative contracts qualifying as cash flow hedges are reflected as assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. To the extent these hedges are effective in offsetting forecasted cash flows from the sale of production, changes in fair value are deferred in an equity account. Amounts deferred in such account are reclassified to Sales when the underlying production is sold. The effect of the initial adoption of this standard by the subsidiary El Brocal resulted in a credit to the equity account &quot;unrealized loss on derivative instruments&quot; of S/1,660,000.</P>

<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>The fair value of derivative contracts not qualifying as cash flow hedges are reflected as assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in fair values are recorded in income in the caption &quot;loss from change in the fair value of derivative instruments&quot;. The effect of the initial adoption of this standard by the Company resulted in a charge to retained earnings of 2003 of S/ S/436,786,000.</P>

<P>Derivative contracts qualifying as normal sales are accounted for under the deferral accounting. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the contracts before the contracts' designated delivery date are not recorded, and the contract price is recognized in income following settlement of the contract by physical delivery of production to the counterparty at contract maturity, see note 33 (c).</P>

<P>(u)&#9;Treasury shares -</P>
<P>The Company has common and investment shares under treasury. The nominal values of these shares, restated by inflation, are presented net of the capital stock and investment shares amounts. The difference between the nominal values restated by inflation and </P>
<P>the cost of such shares is presented as a reduction in the additional capital caption of the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity. </P>

<P>The effect of the dividends income arising from the treasury shares held by the subsidiary are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.</P>

<P>(v)&#9;Basic and diluted earnings per share -</P>
<P>Basic and diluted earnings per share have been calculated based on the weighted average number of common and investment shares outstanding at the date of the consolidated balance sheets; treasury shares have been excluded from the calculation.</P>

<P>  3.&#9;Change in an accounting principle</P>
</B><P>Effective January 1, 2003, the Company and its affiliated Yanacocha made an accounting change related to the provision for mine closure. Following, we describe the accounting change, and the cumulative effect as of January 1, 2003:</P>
<DIR>
<DIR>

<P>(a)&#9;Until December 31, 2002, the Company used to record the obligation for mine closure when the related amount could be fairly estimated, which normally occurred at end of the life mine. Effective January 1, 2003, the Company records such liability when a legally enforceable obligation arises for mine closing, independently of the full depletion of the reserves. Once such obligation has been appropriately measured, it is recorded by creating a liability equal to the amount of the obligation and recording a corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the related long-lived assets (development costs and property, plant and equipment). As time passes, the amount of the obligation changes, recording an accretion expense; additionally, the capitalized cost is depreciated and/or amortized based on the useful lives of the related asset.  Any difference in the settlement of the liability will be recorded in the results of the period in which such settlement occurs.</P>

<P>The cumulative effect of this change in accounting principle, net of the workers' profit sharing, income tax and minority interest was a loss of S/19,744,000; this amount is separately presented in the consolidated statements of income. The detail follows:</P>

<P>(b)&#9;Until December 31, 2002, the affiliated Yanacocha used to accrue the mine closure costs and charge to income over the expected operating lives of the mines using the unit-of-production method. Effective January 1, 2003, Yanacocha records such obligation using an accounting treatment similar to the one used by Buenaventura and its subsidiaries. The cumulative effect of the change in the accounting principle was a loss of S/49,174,000, which is presented as &quot;cumulative effect of change in accounting principle due to mine closing&quot;.</P>

<P>&#9;<B>Dividends paid by Yanacocha -</P>
</B><P>Cash dividends paid by Yanacocha were S/459,509,000 in 2003 (S/15,543,000 in 2001 and S/79,190,000 in 2002).</P>

<B><P>Legal proceedings -</P>
</B><P>Mercury spill incident near the town of Choropampa -</P>
<P>&#9;In June 2000, a transport contractor of Yanacocha spilled approximately 11 liters of mercury near the town of Choropampa, Peru, which is located 53 miles from Yanacocha.  As a consequence, on September 10, 2001, Yanacocha and other defendants were named in a lawsuit by over 900 Peruvian citizens in Denver District Court of the State of Colorado (The Court).  This action seeks compensatory and punitive damages based on claims associated with the mercury spill incident.  This action was dismissed by the Denver District Court on May 22, 2002 and this ruling was reaffirmed by the court on July 30, 2002. Plaintiffs' attorneys appealed this dismissal.</P>

<P>&#9;In July 2002, Yanacocha and other defendants were served with other lawsuits in the Denver District Court for the State of Colorado and in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, by approximately 140 additional Peruvian plaintiffs and by the same plaintiffs who filed the September 2001 lawsuit. These actions also seek compensatory and punitive damages based on claims associated with the mercury spill incident near the town of Choropampa. These lawsuits have been stayed pending the outcome of the first appeal.</P>
<P>At the date of the report, Yanacocha can not reasonable predict the final outcome of any of the described lawsuits.</P>

<P>Cerro Quilish -</P>
<P>&#9;Yanacocha was involved in a dispute with the Provincial Municipality of Cajamarca regarding the authority of that governmental body to regulate the development of the Cerro Quilish ore deposit (which contains reserves of approximately 3.2 million ounces of gold). Cerro Quilish is located in the same watershed in which the City of Cajamarca is located. The Municipality has enacted an ordinance declaring Cerro Quilish and its watershed to be a reserve and naturally protected area.  Yanacocha has challenged this ordinance on the grounds that, under Peruvian law, local governments lack authority to create such areas. In May 2002, the Peruvian Constitutional Court was installed in Lima to hear the case. The case was heard in early 2003 and the Court ruled on April 7, 2003 and established that the Yanacocha right to prospect and explore, according to its mining concessions, are free and clear from encumbrance.</P>

<P>&#9;The Court has required Yanacocha to complete a full environmental impact study, conducted by independent and certified organizations or institutions, prior to initiating any development at Cerro Quilish, and adopt mitigation measures necessary to protect the quality and quantity of the water supply of the city of Cajamarca.</P>

<P>Arbitration with a contractor -</P>
<B><P>&#9;</B>In<B> </B>November 2003, Yanacocha received a notice for arbitration from a contractor relating to a fee and contractual dispute for civil construction works performed at Carachugo. The estimated amount of the claim is approximately US$12 million. While Yanacocha has not accepted the validity of the contractor claim, the parties are engaged in a mediation process. The outcome of this process is uncertain; however, an adverse decision is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Yanacocha's financial condition.</P>

</B><P>(a)&#9;Capital stock -</P>
<P>The Company has common shares that represent the 100 percent of its outstanding share capital. Holders of common shares are entitled to one vote per share, with the exception of the election of the Board of Directors, where each such holder is entitled to one vote per share per nominee.  Each holder's votes may be cast all for a single nominee or distributed among the nominees at the holder's discretion. Holders of common shares may attend and vote at shareholder meetings either in person or through a proxy. Additionally, holders of common shares have the right to participate in the distribution of dividends and shareholders' equity resulting from liquidation.  </P>

<P>The Mandatory Annual Shareholders' meeting held on March 26, 2002, decide to increase the Company's capital stock from S/137,444,962 to S/549,779,848 (from S/188,650,000 to S/616,219,000, in constant values of December 31, 2003) through the capitalization of a portion of retained earnings as of December 31, 2001, and by increasing the nominal value of the common shares - Series A and B from S/1 to S/4.  From the capitalized amount of S/412,334,886 (approximately S/427,569,000 in constant value as of December 31, 2003), S/129,266,262 corresponds to common shares - Series A and S/283,068,624 to common shares - Serie B.</P>

<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>The Shareholders' Meeting held on April 30, 2002 approved the re-designation of common shares - Series B as common shares - Series A, and then immediately approved the re-designation of common shares - Series A as common shares. As a consequence, since May 3, 2002, the Company's capital stock is comprised of 137,444,962 common shares with a nominal value of S/4 each. As a result of the restatement of the 2003 financial statements for inflation at December 31, 2003, the Company is permitted to issue additional common shares for a total value of S/66,439,000.</P>

<P>As explained in note 2(u), the nominal value of treasury shares adjusted by inflation, is presented net of the capital stock. The detail of the capital stock as of December 31, 2003 follows:</P>

<P>Due to various possible interpretations of current legislation, it is not possible to determine whether or not future reviews will result in tax liabilities for the Company.  In the event that additional taxes payable, interest and surcharges result from tax authority reviews, they will be charged to expense in the period assessed and paid.  However, in the opinion of Management, there are no issues that may result in significant tax contingencies for the Company and any additional tax assessment would not be significant to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2003 and 2002.</P>

<P>(c)&#9;During the year 2000, Yanacocha was notified with tax assessments in the amount of US$24.4 million in connection to the income tax and value added tax - VAT for years 1998 and 1999, as well as for VAT corresponding to January and February 2000. With the purpose of eliminating some of these contingencies, Yanacocha filed for the &quot;Sistema Especial de Actualizaci&oacute;n y Pago de Deudas Tributarias - SEAP&quot; which allows for the payment of incorrectly declared taxes and eliminates fines and accrued interest at preferential rates.</P>

<P>&#9;Although Yanacocha filed for the SEAP, it still has a lawsuit outstanding before the Supreme Court of Justice for US$3.1 million related to a claim for an overstatement of the income tax calculated in prior years and to a claim for the recognition by the tax authorities of a tax credit related with the VAT paid in the resolution of a service contract.</P>

<P>In the opinion of Yanacocha's Management and its law advisors, there are no issues that may result in significant tax contingencies.</P>

<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>(d)&#9;The tax losses of Buenaventura and its consolidated subsidiaries can not offset taxable income of other subsidiary.  The detail of the tax loss carryforward of Buenaventura and its subsidiaries is as follows:</P>

<P>32.&#9;Disclosure about information by segments</P>
</B><P>International Accounting Standard (IAS) 14, revised, requires enterprises to disclose financial information by business and/or geographical segment.  Companies should consider their organizational and management structure and their internal financial reporting system when identifying segments.  Segments are generally defined by the manner in which the Company presents data to high-level management for their use in evaluating each unit's past performance and for making decisions about future allocations of resources.  Management of Buenaventura bases their decisions on and evaluates business development in terms of the mining segments' performance.  The electric, mining consulting and insurance segments are not significant and, therefore, are not considered in the making of decisions or in the evaluation of business development.  Management therefore considers that the Company's only reportable segment is mining.</P>

<P>33.&#9;Derivative financial instruments</P>
</B><P>Risk of commodity price fluctuations -</P><DIR>
<DIR>

<P>(a)&#9;The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to mitigate certain market risks to which the Company is exposed.  The principal market risk for the Company relates to the impact of price fluctuations on precious metals.  Historically, world market prices for precious metals have fluctuated widely and are subject to the influence of several factors beyond the Company's control.  </P>

<P>Buenaventura -</P>
<P>Until December 31, 2002, the Company did not account for the fair value of the derivative instruments and only disclosed the amount in notes to the consolidated financial statements.  Effective January 1, 2003, the Company has adopted IAS 39, &quot;Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement&quot;, which requires that the derivative instruments be recognized as assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, and measured at their fair value, See Note 2(t).</P>

<P>&nbsp;</P></DIR>

<P>Management's intention is to hold derivative instruments for hedging the fluctuations in metal prices, mainly gold and silver, and not for trading purposes; however, the Company does not meet all the criteria stated in IAS 39 to account for the derivative instruments as cash flow hedges.  Accordingly, the Company has done the following:</P>

<P>Royalties payable amount to S/4,404,000 as of December 31, 2003 (S/5,199,000 as of December 31, 2002), see Note 17.</P>

<P>(c)&#9;Pending litigation -<BR>
Damages claimed by a French citizen -</P>
<P>In February of 2002, the Company and Condesa, together with Newmont Mining, Newmont Second and certain individual persons, were defendants in an action initiated by a French citizen, with jurisdiction before the District Court of the state of Colorado in the United States.  The plaintiff alleges that he was engaged as an advisor to Normandy respective to a lawsuit that concluded in October of 1998, and that such lawsuit separately motivated the execution of a Global Transaction Agreement in 2000 between the Company, BRGM, Mine Or, Normandy and their related entities (SEREM).  The Global Transaction Agreement provided for full and permanent revocation and annulment of any preferential rights on the shares of Cedimin S.A.C. in exchange for a one-time payment of US$80 million by the Company, of which the Company paid US$40 million.</P>

<P>The plaintiff asserts that he was injured because Normandy had promised to pay him a commission based fee if he was able to increase the amount of the Company's payment as ordered by the Court, which did not occur, and seeks damages of not less than US$25 million plus interest, in addition to unspecified punitive damages that could increase the amount by threefold. Additionally, the plaintiff alleges violations of the federal RICO statute and similar provisions of Colorado law, interference with contract rights, defamation and other damages.</P>

<P>The defendants have filed various motions to dismiss the action and believe the arguments presented for dismissal have solid legal ground; however, rather than responding to these motions for dismissal, the plaintiff has filed another demand.  The Company and Condesa have presented motions to reject the new demand.  On January 15, 2004, the judge Richard P. Matsch of the District Colorado Court issued an opinion and ordered granting defendants motions to dismiss the amended complaint. On February 15, 2004 the defendants appealed the opinion of the judge  to the Federal Court of the United States of America - Tenth Circuit (Colorado). At the date of this report, it is not possible to predict when the court will rule on the motions, the possible outcome of such motions or a possible range of loss.</P>

<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Other -</P>
<P>From time to time in the normal course of its activities, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings of a diverse nature. Management believes that any possible loss, which may result from these lawsuits, will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company's financial position.</P>
