              process, as it validates and recognizes Buenaventura&#8217;s high operational standards in Peru, including the Company's commitment to local communities.&#8221; He continued, &#8220;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.&#8221; </p>
