    <p>
      LIMA, Peru--(BUSINESS WIRE)--October 27, 2017--<b>Compa&#241;ia de Minas
      Buenaventura S.A.A.</b> (&#8220;Buenaventura&#8221; or &#8220;the Company&#8221;) (NYSE: BVN;
      Lima Stock Exchange: BUE.LM), Peru&#8217;s largest publicly-traded precious
      metals mining company, today announced the retirement of Mr. Carlos
      G&#225;lvez, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, after almost forty
      years with the Company. Mr. Leandro Garc&#237;a, Buenaventura&#8217;s Controller,
      will succeed Mr. G&#225;lvez as Vice President and CFO effective December 1,
      2017, to lead Buenaventura&#8217;s financial, commercial and administrative
      departments.
    </p>
    <p>
      Mr. Roque Benavides, Chairman of Buenaventura&#8217;s Board of Directors
      commented, &#8220;For nearly four decades, Carlos&#8217;s business acumen and
      expertise have been significant assets to both the Board and the
      management team at Buenaventura. He has made considerable contributions
      which, together with his leadership of the Finance and Administration
      teams, have been instrumental to our Company&#8217;s growth and success, and
      have also played an important role in building Buenaventura&#8217;s reputation
      internationally. While Carlos will be missed, we are confident he will
      be successful in any future endeavors he may pursue.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      Mr. Victor Gobitz, Chief Executive Officer commented, &#8220;In the last 10
      months since I joined Buenaventura&#180;s senior management team, Carlos has
      been a valuable mentor.&#8221; He continued, &#8220;We are very enthusiastic to have
      someone of Leandro&#8217;s abilities and experience taking the reins as Vice
      President and CFO. Leandro has been with Buenaventura for a total of
      over 16 years, demonstrating his remarkable leadership skills as well as
      developing a deep understanding of our Company and culture, which,
      combined with his substantial professional expertise, will drive
      Buenaventura&#180;s growth for years ahead.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      Mr. G&#225;lvez has served as Buenaventura&#8217;s Vice President and CFO since
      2001, when he was promoted from Deputy Manager of Finance and
      Information Systems. He joined Buenaventura in 1978, and is currently
      Alternate Director in Cerro Verde and Alternate Member of the Executive
      Board of Yanacocha. Further, Mr. G&#225;lvez is currently Director of nine of
      Buenaventura&#8217;s subsidiaries including Sociedad Minera El Brocal, Empresa
      de Generaci&#243;n Huanza, Consorcio Energ&#233;tico de Huancavelica, and Contacto
      Corredores de Seguros. Mr. G&#225;lvez is retiring at age 65, which is in
      line with the policy that he himself established to ensure the future
      generations of Buenaventura employees&#8217; professional development.
    </p>
    <p>
      Mr. Leandro Garc&#237;a served as Buenaventura&#8217;s Treasurer from 1990 to 1997
      and as Financial and Commercial Manager of Sociedad Minera El Brocal
      until 2000. Mr. Garc&#237;a briefly left the Company to become General
      Manager of BTL Drugstores until 2005 and General Manager of Inkafarma
      drugstores until June 2011. He then rejoined Buenaventura as Controller
      in July 2011.
    </p>
    <p>
      Mr. Garc&#237;a received a bachelor&#8217;s degree in Business Administration and
      Accounting from Universidad del Pac&#237;fico in Lima, Peru in 1990. He holds
