            <p>LIMA, Peru--(BUSINESS WIRE)--December 15, 2022--<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, advises
              that political protests throughout Peru, precipitating a nationwide state of emergency announced yesterday, has adversely affected supply routes to mines throughout the country. </p>
            <p> There has been no damage to Buenaventura&#8217;s property or assets, and all other Buenaventura mining assets are operating under normal conditions. It&#8217;s important to note that the Company maintains a coverage in critical supplies. </p>
            <p> To date, Buenaventura&#8217;s on-site operations have been operating normally, while off-site logistics have encountered some delays. However, Buenaventura has recently received confirmation that the entrance to its Julcani and Orcopampa
              operations has been blocked. The Company is therefore taking pre-emptive precautionary measures and has initiated a temporary stoppage of its Julcani and Orcopampa mining operations. Buenaventura will maintain minimum personnel present at the
              mine, as is required for essential activities only. </p>
            <p> Management continues to actively evaluate developments related to all activities related to its mines, including the effects of blockades as these develop. The Company will ensure the financial community remains apprised as developments,
              and related decisions, unfold. </p>
            <p> <b>Company Description</b> </p>
            <p> Compa&#241;&#237;a de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. is Peru&#8217;s largest, publicly traded precious and base metals Company and a major holder of mining rights in Peru. The Company is engaged in the exploration, mining development, processing and trade of
              gold, silver and other base metals via wholly-owned mines and through its participation in joint venture projects. Buenaventura currently operates several mines in Peru (Orcopampa*, Uchucchacua*, Julcani*, Tambomayo*, La Zanja*, El Brocal and
              Coimolache). </p>
            <p> The Company owns 19.58% of Sociedad Minera Cerro Verde, an important Peruvian copper producer (a partnership with Freeport-McMorRan Inc. and Sumitomo Corporation). </p>
