Operating Revenues

During 4Q13, net sales were US$292.0 million, a 29% decrease compared to the US$411.6 million reported in 4Q12. This was explained by lower metal prices as well as a reduction in silver and copper volumes sold.

Royalty income decreased 43%, to US$7.2 million in 4Q13 compared to the US$12.6 million reported in 4Q12. This was due to lower revenues at Yanacocha (42% lower QoQ).

Orcopampa’s (100% owned by Buenaventura) total gold production in 4Q13 was 48,117 ounces, 20% lower than the 59,779 ounces reported in 4Q12. Production from the Chipmo mine during 4Q13 was 45,981 ounces, 17% lower compared to the 55,652 ounces reported in 4Q12, as a result of lower ore grade and tonnage treated in consequence of the 17-day strike in October (see Appendix 2). The old tailings treatment produced 2,136 ounces of gold (compared to 4,128 oz. in 4Q12). Total gold production in FY 2013 was 224,671 ounces, a 14% decrease compared to FY 2012 (260,379 oz.).

Cost Applicable to Sales (CAS) in 4Q13 was US$830/oz, 7% higher compared to 4Q12 (US$775/oz.). The higher cost was mainly explained by the lower gold production. CAS for the FY 2013 was US$802/oz compared to US$604/oz in 2012.

At Uchucchacua (100% owned by Buenaventura), total silver production in 4Q13 was 2.9 million ounces, in line with the 3.0 million ounces produced in 4Q12.

Cost Applicable to Sales (CAS) in 4Q13 was US$12.86/oz, 8% lower than the figure reported in 4Q12 (US$13.94/oz.) due to higher grade ore. CAS for the FY 2013 was US$13.01/oz compared to US$13.58/oz in 2012.

At Mallay (100% owned by Buenaventura), total production in 4Q13 was 329,727 ounces of silver, 16% higher than in 4Q12 (284,161 oz), and 1.3 million ounces in FY 2013, 87% higher than the 0.7 million reported in FY 2012. Cost Applicable to Sales (CAS) in 4Q13 was US$11.30/oz, a decrease of 47% compared to US$21.46/oz in 4Q12. CAS for the FY 2013 was US$14.53/oz compared to US$27.98/oz in 2012.

At Julcani (100% owned by Buenaventura), total production in 4Q13 was 771,296 ounces of silver, 25% higher compared to 4Q12 (615,712 ounces), due to higher ore treated explained by the increase in plant capacity (from 400 TPD to 500 TPD). During FY 2013, silver production was 2.7 million ounces, 11% higher than the 2.4 million reported in FY 2012.

Cost Applicable to Sales (CAS) in 4Q13 was US$8.33/oz, 28% lower than 4Q12 (US$15.87/oz.), mainly explained by a reduction in exploration activities. CAS for the FY 2013 was US$10.32/oz compared to US$12.10/oz in 2012.

Breapampa’s (100% owned by Buenaventura) total production in 4Q13 was 21,918 ounces of gold with a CAS of US$447/oz. For the twelve months of 2013, gold production was 81,882 oz with a CAS of US$601/oz.

La Zanja’s (53.06% owned by Buenaventura) total production in 4Q13 was 33,451 ounces of gold, a 17% increase compared to 4Q12 (28,670 oz) and was due to an increase in ore grade (0.75 g/MT in 4Q13 vs. 0.64 g/MT in 4Q12).

CAS in 4Q13 was US$375/oz., 40% lower than in 4Q12 (US$624/oz.) due to the lower tonnage treated, in order to remain within the limits of its permits. CAS for the FY 2013 was US$536/oz compared to US$502/oz in 2012.

At El Brocal (54.07% owned by Buenaventura), copper production was 9,345 MT vs. 13,166 MT reported in 4Q12 (29% decrease).

Silver production, from polymetallic and copper ores, increased 207%, from 0.2 million ounces in 4Q12 to 0.6 million ounces in 4Q13, due to lower tonnage treated and ore grade. During FY 2013, silver production decreased 36% from 3.1 million oz to 2.0 million oz in 2012.

During 4Q13, total zinc production was 4,321 MT versus no production in 4Q12. In FY 2013, zinc production decreased 31% (24,220 MT in 2013 versus 34,949 MT in 2012). Zinc CAS was US$757/MT in 4Q13. CAS for the FY 2013 was US$887/MT compared to US$903/MT in 2012.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses in 4Q13 were US$21.0 million, 3% lower than the figure reported in 4Q12 (US$21.6 million) due to lower worker’s profit sharing. For the FY 2013, general and administrative expenses were US$77.5 million versus US$99.3 million in the same period of 2012, representing a 22% decline.

Exploration in Non-Operating Areas

Exploration in non-operating areas during 4Q13 was US$9.4 million, compared to US$22.3 million reported in 4Q12. During the period, Buenaventura’s main exploration efforts were focused on the following projects: Marcapunta Oeste (US$5.2 million), La Zanja Underground (US$0.6 million) and Chanca (US$1.2 million). For FY 2013, exploration in non-operating areas were US$32.8 million versus US$95.5 million in FY 2012, representing a decrease of 66%.

Operating Income

Operating income in 4Q13 was US$13.8 million, 84% lower compared to the US$86.7 million reported in 4Q12 due to lower revenues.

At Yanacocha (43.65% owned by Buenaventura), 4Q13 gold production was 184,318 ounces of gold, 22% lower than 4Q12 production (235,875 oz). Accumulated gold production in 2013 was 1,017,259 ounces, 24% lower than 2013 (1,345,992 oz.).

Net income, without considering the effect of the US$1.0 million impairment, was negative US$27.8 million (compared to US$75.7 million in 4Q12) explained by lower revenues and higher costs applicable to sales due to a US$43.1 million (cash) write-down from La Quinua, Yanacocha and Maqui Maqui pads. Accumulated net income in 2013 was US$154.9 million, 75% lower than 2012 (US$626.5 million). During 4Q13, EBITDA totaled US$43.5 million, a 77% decrease compared to 4Q12 (US$186.0 million).

During 4Q13, Cerro Verde reported net income of US$196.8 million, a 35% higher compared to US$146.2 million in 4Q12. This was mainly due to a 12% increase in sales revenues (US$562.3 million in 4Q13 versus US$501.0 million in 4Q12). Accumulated net income in 2013 was US$613.3 million, 21% lower than US$772.1 million in 2012.
