          <div class="bw-release-table-js bw-release-story">
            <p>LIMA, Peru--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 28, 2023--<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, is pleased
              to announce that on August 28, 2023, the Company submitted the Updated Mine Plan to the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines for its 100% owned Uchucchacua mine. This submission therefore completes the required process for the resumption of
              activities of the Uchucchacua mine, starting on September 1, 2023. The mining and ore processing activities had been temporarily suspended since October 15, 2021, as per the Company&#8217;s related press release. </p>
            <p> Buenaventura will initiate relevant maintenance work and expects the processing plant commissioning to begin on September 1, ensuring processing plant operational readiness to receive ore from Uchucchacua and Yumpag. Buenaventura will begin
              treatment of ore at the Uchucchacua processing plant in the second half of September and is targeting stable ongoing 2,600 ton per day production, which will then be maintained. </p>
            <p> The resumption of activities at the Uchucchacua processing plant also enables Buenaventura to perform metallurgical tests of up to 124,600 tons of ore from the Yumpag project&#8217;s pilot stope. The Uchucchacua mine and the Yumpag project&#8217;s
              combined production is expected to yield between 2.3 million and 2.8 million ounces of silver for the full year 2023. 2023 guidance remains unchanged. </p>
            <p> Buenaventura expects to receive the Yumpag project operation&#8217;s Environmental Impact Assessment (EIAd) by the end of the third quarter 2023. Once approved, the Company will submit a request to the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines for
              authorization to initiate mining activities at its Yumpag project. Yumpag has achieved remarkable exploration results to date, and Buenaventura looks forward to announcing its reserve and resource findings at the Company&#8217;s Investor Day in
              early December. </p>
            <p> <b>Company Description <br>
              </b>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
