Compañía de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. is a leading Peruvian mining company with a diversified portfolio of precious and base metals. The company's core operations span the entire mining cycle, from exploration and development to extraction, milling, and metal refining. Buenaventura operates multiple mining units across Peru, including the Tambomayo, Orcopampa, Uchucchacua, Julcani, and El Brocal mines. The company's revenue is highly diversified across various metals; based on recent financial data, sales are primarily driven by silver (approximately 36%), copper (34%), and gold (23%), with the remainder generated from zinc, lead, and manganese sulfate. In addition to its direct mining operations, Buenaventura holds strategic non-controlling interests in other major mining assets, most notably a 19.58% equity stake in Sociedad Minera Cerro Verde, a world-class copper producer in southern Peru operated by Freeport-McMoRan. The company also operates energy generation and transmission subsidiaries, such as hydroelectric plants, to support its mining activities and provide infrastructure services.
