Ref: Notice of Material Information
Dear sirs:
1. Compañía de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. reports that on February 5, 2023, people who are part of the group that has been mobilizing in various regions of the country due to the current political situation, committed acts of vandalism against our Julcani mining unit, located in the district of Ccochaccasa, Angaraes province, Huancavelica region, where we have been operating uninterruptedly for seventy years in an environment of trust with the communities, and forced the aforementioned mining unit to stop its activities.
2. At 11 in the morning, people from communities outside the area of influence of the Julcani mine, broke into the mining camp and forced Julcani officials to sign a document whose content is not approved by the company, demanding, among other things, that the mining unit completely stop its operations. They also forced the workers to leave the facilities under threats, damaged offices and vehicles of the mining facility and stole some belongings.
3. In order to ensure the integrity of the workers, the Julcani mine has begun the demobilization of all personnel and has suspended its operations until security conditions are adequate. This situation restricts the company to carry out essential activities within the operation, which puts the environmental safety of the area at risk, as it has been communicated to OEFA and OSINERGMIN.
4. Buenaventura rejects these acts of violence and threats against the population, our collaborators, and the Julcani mining unit.
We call on the population to remain calm and prioritize the climate of dialogue and respect among all.
Yours faithfully,
Stock Exchange Representative
