            <p>LIMA, Peru--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 30, 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 V&#237;ctor Gobitz has resigned as the Company&#8217;s Chief Executive Officer, effective August 31, 2020, to pursue another professional opportunity. Buenaventura's Board of Directors (the "Board") has appointed Leandro Garcia,

            <p> Roque Benavides, Buenaventura&#8217;s Chairman, stated: "Mr. Gobitz has made many important contributions to Buenaventura during his tenure with the Company, including our successful De-bottlenecking Program and related upgraded methodology to
              evaluate greenfield projects, as well as various improvements to our cost structure and associated capital efficiencies- all of which are clearly resonating. These core competencies will continue to serve the Company well moving into the
              future. On behalf of the Board, I thank Victor for his leadership, commitment and contributions to Buenaventura over the last four years.&#8221; </p>
            <p> &#8220;I am very proud of the organizational depth which enables Buenaventura to promote capable executives from within," said Mr. Benavides. "Leandro Garcia brings a wealth of highly relevant experience thanks to his successful sixteen year
              tenure at Buenaventura, most recently as our Company&#8217;s trusted CFO, and knows our Company intimately.&#8221; </p>
            <p> Victor Gobitz added, &#8220;It has been a great privilege to lead Buenaventura, and I am proud of what we have accomplished. With the support of our hard-working and dedicated team, we have positioned our operational infrastructure to meet
              changing market demands. I am confident Buenaventura will achieve continued success under Leandro&#8217;s capable leadership.&#8221; </p>
