First Quarter Highlights:

  • 1Q22 EBITDA from direct operations reached US$ 431.9 million, compared to US$ 39.7 million reported in 1Q22, reflecting US$ 300 million resulting from the sale of Buenaventura's stake in Yanacocha and US$ 45 million from Newmont's contribution to La Zanja's future closure costs.
  • 1Q22 EBITDA including associated companies reached US$ 578.7 million, compared to US$ 162.8 million in 1Q21.
  • 1Q22 net income reached US$ 636.2 million, compared to a US$ 16.4 million for the same period in 2021.
  • 1Q22 exploration at operating units increased to US$ 14.0 million, from US$ 9.3 million in 1Q21, aligned with the Company's strategy to focus primarily on exploration.
  • 1Q22 capital expenditures were US$ 19.9 million, compared to US$ 13.0 million for the same period in 2021. 1Q22 CAPEX includes US$ 2.8 million in CAPEX related to the San Gabriel Project and US$ 4.7 million in CAPEX related to the Yumpag Project.
  • The Company continued its strategy of progressively reducing fixed costs at the Uchucchacua mine to improve the cost structure efficiency when the operation restarts
  • 1Q22 COVID related expenses were US$ 5.3 million, compared to the US$ 11.7 million reported in 1Q21. 2022 COVID related expenses estimates are between US$ 12.0 and US$ 14.0 million.

  • On March 30, the San Gabriel Mine Project received the Government of Peru's approval of all required permits, enabling the Company to immediately commence mining project construction, development and exploitation.
  • 2022 Production Guidance will be updated in 2Q22 due to a new mine plan in progress for El Brocal, resulting in an expected 1.0 to 1.5 million ounce decrease in silver production for the full year 2022.
