<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Thank you for taking our recent call. As
we discussed on the call, Carlos G&aacute;lvez, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Compa&ntilde;&iacute;a de Minas Buenaventura
S.A.A. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;), has requested, on behalf of the Company, an extension to respond to the Staff&rsquo;s comments
raised in the Staff&rsquo;s letter to the Company dated October 24, 2014 relating to the Staff&rsquo;s review of the above-referenced
filings. The Company has requested the extension to enable the Company to ensure that the Company&rsquo;s internal accounting group,
external Peruvian and U.S. independent auditors and internal mining experts have sufficient time to coordinate detailed responses
to the Staff&rsquo;s comments and to translate the requested reports into the English language. You indicated in the call on Wednesday
that the Staff would grant the Company an extension for responding to the Staff&rsquo;s letter to November
21, 2014. The Company very much appreciates your flexibility in this regard and we look forward to working with you on this matter.</P>
