Correction: Compañia de Minas Buenaventura 4Q13 Earnings Report: on page 5

In the original earnings report issued on February 27, 2014, on page 5, YANACOCHA section: Net income, without considering the effect appeared as 'US$ 1.0 million' impairment and the correct figure should be a 'US$ 1.0 billion' impairment

See bolded sections below for corrections:

YANACOCHA

At Yanacocha (43.65% owned by Buenaventura), 4Q13 gold production was 184,318 ounces of gold, 22% lower than 4Q12 production (235,875 oz). Accumulated gold production in 2013 was 1,017,259 ounces, 24% lower than 2013 (1,345,992 oz.).

Net income, without considering the effect of the US$ 1.0 billion impairment, was negative US$27.8 million (compared to US$75.7 million in 4Q12) explained by lower revenues and higher costs applicable to sales due to a US$43.1 million (cash) write-down from La Quinua, Yanacocha and Maqui Maqui pads. Accumulated net income in 2013 was US$154.9 million, 75% lower than 2012 (US$626.5 million). During 4Q13, EBITDA totaled US$43.5 million, a 77% decrease compared to 4Q12 (US$186.0 million). Accumulated EBITDA in 2013 was US$602.4 million, 52% lower than 2012 (US$1.2 billion).

We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.
