            <p>LIMA, Peru--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 17, 2020--<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 that the Peruvian Government has issued a Supreme Decree and has declared a National Emergency in order to contain the COVID-19 outbreak. Said restrictions currently remain in place for a 15-day period, commencing March 16, 2020. </p>
            <p> In accordance with these restrictions and within the framework of the Company&#8217;s Pandemic Response Plan, as well as local and national health authority requirements and recommendations, Buenaventura will limit the activities of its
              operations to those which ensure functionality of its mine pumping systems, water treatment plants, energy supply, hydroelectric substations, health services as well as safety conditions including backfill and general support, among others.
              Buenaventura is prepared to immediately restart operations once it has received notice from Federal and local authorities that it is appropriate to do so. </p>
            <p> Buenaventura remains focused on guaranteeing the safety of its employees, communities and contractors, as well as the surrounding environment. The Company has been actively monitoring COVID-19 since early January 2020. All operations and
              offices have implemented the appropriate travel restrictions, surveillance, monitoring and response plans to reduce the risk of COVID-19 exposure and outbreak, including health screening of contractors, visitors and employees when
              appropriate. </p>
            <p> In addition, individual operations continually assess the situation as it evolves and have limited external visitors to only those who are considered to be business critical. Each of its operations also continue to monitor and implement
              business continuity measures to mitigate and minimize any potential impacts of the global outbreak that might emerge on its operations, supply chain, commercial and financial activities. There has been no material impact to production or
              shipment of concentrate from any of the Company&#8217;s operations to date as a result of COVID-19. Additionally, there has been no significant disruption to the supply chain of the Company&#8217;s operations. </p>
            <p> Buenaventura&#8217;s central headquarters is in frequent contact with all individual operations and associated mine managers to ensure timely updates on the situation and provide any necessary logistical support. Operations managers and team
              leaders currently working from home also maintain direct lines of communication. </p>
            <p> The Company will continue to provide relevant updates in a timely manner and will also advise should the above contingency measures be modified. </p>
