Operating Revenues

During 3Q14, net sales were US$308.1 million, an 8% decrease compared to the US$335.3 million reported in 3Q13. This was explained by the lower provisional pricing for lead-silver and zinc-silver concentrates.

Royalty income decreased 10%, to US$9.5 million in 3Q14 compared to the US$10.5 million reported in 3Q13. This was due to lower revenues at Yanacocha (10% lower QoQ).

1 Direct Operation production includes 100% of Buenaventura’s operating units, 53.06% of La Zanja and 54.07% of El Brocal.

Orcopampa’s(100% owned by Buenaventura) total gold production in 3Q14 was 52,317 ounces, 11% lower than the 59,086 ounces reported in 3Q13, due to the depletion of the old tailing gold ounces. Cost Applicable to Sales (CAS) in 3Q14 was US$728/oz of gold, 5% lower compared to 3Q13 (US$765/oz.). The lower cost was mainly explained by a decrease in reagent (cyanide and peroxide) consumption and prices.

At Uchucchacua(100% owned by Buenaventura), total silver production in 3Q14 was 3.3 million ounces, 13% higher than the 2.9 million ounces reported in 3Q13, mainly due to higher ore grade and recovery rate (see Appendix 2). Zinc production in 3Q14 was 1,800 MT, 12% lower than the figure reported in 3Q13 (2,055 MT), while lead production decreased 11% (2,115 MT in 3Q14 vs. 2,371 MT in 3Q13). Cost Applicable to Sales (CAS) in 3Q14 was US$15.23/oz of silver, an increase of 3% compared to 3Q13 (US$14.82/oz.) mainly explained by higher contractor expenses due to an increase in supporting and hauling activities.

At Mallay (100% owned by Buenaventura), total production in 3Q14 was 307,523 ounces of silver, 12% lower than in 3Q13 (348,626 ounces) due to lower ore volume treated and silver grade. Cost Applicable to Sales (CAS) in 3Q14 was US$14.21/oz of silver, a decrease of 4% compared to US$14.76/oz in 3Q13 due to higher zinc commercial deductions.

At Julcani (100% owned by Buenaventura), total production in 3Q14 was 774,728 ounces of silver in-line with 3Q13 production (779,776 ounces). Cost Applicable to Sales (CAS) in 3Q14 was US$15.11/oz of silver, 3% higher than 3Q13 (US$14.69/oz), mainly explained by higher contractor expenses due to productivity bonus.

Breapampa’s (100% owned by Buenaventura) total production in 3Q14 was 19,473 ounces of gold, 3% lower when compared to the figure reported in 3Q13 (20,138 ounces). CAS in 3Q14 was US$386/oz of gold, 19% lower than the US$476/oz in 3Q13, due to a better stripping ratio (0.38 in 3Q14 vs 0.71 in 3Q13).

La Zanja’s (53.06% owned by Buenaventura) total production in 3Q14 was 36,143 ounces (19,177 ounces attributable to Buenaventura) of gold in-line with the production in 3Q13 (35,693 oz or 18,939 ounces attributable to Buenaventura). CAS in 3Q14 was US$549/oz of gold, 3% lower than 3Q13 (US$566/oz.), due to a reduction in reagent consumption and price (lime and cyanide). It is important to mention that the Company’s exploration efforts are now focused on the Alejandra underground project.

Tantahuatay’s (40.10% owned by Buenaventura) total production in 3Q14 was 37,281 ounces of gold (14,948 oz attributable to Buenaventura) 6% lower than the figure reported in 3Q13 (39,561 oz, 15,864 attributable to Buenaventura). CAS in 3Q14 was US$423/oz of gold, 28% lower than in 3Q13 (US$585/oz.), due to lower exploration expenses (land surface acquisition).

At El Brocal(54.07% owned by Buenaventura), copper production was 11,764 MT vs. 8,244 MT reported in 3Q13 (43% increase). Silver production was 0.6 million ounces 33% higher than the 0.4 million ounces reported in 3Q13. Zinc production in 3Q14 was 1,522 MT, 28% lower than the 2,117 MT reported in 3Q13. Copper CAS was US$5,025/MT in 3Q14, a decrease of 9% compared to US$5,531/MT in 3Q13, due to the higher production. Zinc CAS was US$1,320/MT, 9% lower than the US$1,449/MT reported in 3Q13.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses in 3Q14 were US$23.9 million, 24% higher when compared with the figure reported in 3Q13 (US$19.3 million) due to a US$1.9 million credit in the long term compensation provision in 3Q13.

Exploration in Non-Operating Areas

Exploration in non-operating areas during 3Q14 was US$7.2 million compared with a US$5.7 million reported in 3Q13. During the period, Buenaventura’s main exploration efforts were focused on the following projects: La Zanja Underground (US$4.0 million) and Tambomayo (US$3.5 million). For the nine-month 2014 period, the expense was US$32.4 million (US$23.4 million in 9M14).

Delineation of the Natalia and Camila ore-shoots at the Yumpag prospect, located 4 km northeast of the Uchucchacua mine, has shown important results for floatable ore. As of September, we have identified 300,000 MT indicated and inferred resources with 24 oz/t of silver, 15 % of manganese, 1% of lead and 2% of zinc.

At La Zanja, the underground drifting of the 3400 mine level has advanced and started to crosscut into the 400 m long and 2.0 m average thickness Alejandra vein. Sixteen positive drilling intercepts have enabled an indicated and inferred resource estimate of 700,000 MT with 15.6 g/t of gold and 220 g/t of silver mostly in oxide and transitional materials. The initial channel samples of the Alejandra vein have shown an average thickness and grade of 2.1 m@ 29.7 g/t Au & 63.0 g/t Ag over a strike length of 15 m. Significant additional potential remains open, not only at depth for copper, gold and silver sulfides, but also laterally for oxidized ore.

Share in Associated Companies

During 3Q14, Buenaventura’s share in associated companies was US$23.6 million, 42% lower when compared to the US$40.9 million reported in 3Q13, composed by:

YANACOCHA

At Yanacocha (43.65% owned by Buenaventura), during 3Q14, gold production was 249,429 ounces of gold, 3% lower than 3Q13 production (256,038 oz). For the nine-month period 2014, gold production was 647,635 ounces, 22% lower than 832,941 ounces in 2013. This production was in-line with the mining plan. As such, guidance for 2014 remains at between 895k – 985k ounces.

Net income was a US$5.3 million compared to US$5.5 million in 3Q13, driven by a US$9.2 million write-down of leach pad inventory. EBITDA totaled US$158.0 million in 3Q14, a 9% increase compared to 3Q13 (US$145.2 million). For 9M14, net income was a negative US$80.3 million (compared to a positive US$176.8 million in 9M13) and EBITDA was US$170.0 million (compared to US$584.2 million in 9M13).

Capital expenditures at Yanacocha were US$36.0 million in 3Q14 (US$85.7 million in 9M14).

CERRO VERDE

At Cerro Verde (19.58% owned by Buenaventura), during 3Q14 copper production was 53,268 MT (10,430 MT attributable to Buenaventura), a 20% decrease compared to 3Q13 (66,416 MT and 13,004 MT attributable to Buenaventura). For the first nine-month period of 2014, copper production was 170,906 MT (33,463 MT attributable to Buenaventura).

During 3Q14, Cerro Verde reported net income of US$85.3 million, 50% lower compared to US$171.4 million in 3Q13. This was mainly due to 27% lower sales. EBITDA totaled US$178.5 million in 3Q14, a 40% decrease compared to 3Q13 (US$295.6 million). For 9M14, net income was US$321.7 million (compared to US$416.5 million in 9M13) and EBITDA was US$627.5 million (compared to US$725.8 million in 9M13).

Capital expenditures at Cerro Verde were US$463.8 million in 3Q14 and US$1,301 million in 9M14.

COIMOLACHE (Tantahuatay operation)

At Coimolache (40.10% owned by Buenaventura), attributable contribution to the net income in 3Q14 was US$6.3 million (US$4.9 million in 3Q13). For 9M14, the contribution was US$17.2 million, compared to US$15.1 million reported in 9M13.

Net Income

Buenaventura’s 3Q14 net income was US$78.3 million (US$0.31 per share), a 20% higher when compared to US$65.2 million (US$0.26 per share) reported in 3Q13. This was explained by a US$59.9 million income related to the Canteras del Hallazgo acquisition. For 9M14, net income was US$85.3 million (US$0.34 per share), 55% lower than the US$187.8 million (US$0.74 per share) reported in 9M13.

Project Development and Exploration

Tambomayo Project (100% ownership)

Advanced exploration and mine development at Tambomayo has so far required US$ 35 million for surface – right acquisition, underground ore-shoot delineation, the ongoing Environmental Impact Study and the permitting process for construction. Measured and indicated resources are 1.6 million MT with 13.6 g/t of gold, 9.2 oz/t of silver, 2.1% of lead and 3.0% of zinc with 3.5 m average vein widths.

Chucapaca Project (100% ownership)

After acquiring the 100% of Chucapaca project, Buenaventura reached an agreement with the Santiago de Oyo Oyo community to purchase 1,380 hectares of surface rights. The legal completion of this agreement will be announced in due time. Permits for advanced exploration with underground development of the Canahuire ore bodies and diamond drilling of other prospects will start as soon as the surface property is firmed up by the Company. We expect to begin diamond drilling the Pachacutec oxide gold prospect in April 2015 and underground development of Canahuire in July 2015.

APPENDIX 5: COST APPLICABLE TO SALES RECONCILIATION

Reconciliation of Costs Applicable to Sales and Cost Applicable to Sales per Unit Sold

Cost applicable to sales consists of cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization, plus Selling expenses. Cost applicable to sales per unit sold for each mine consists of cost applicable to sales for a particular metal produced at a given mine divided by the volume of such metal produced at such mine in the specified period. We note that cost applicable to sales is not directly comparable to the cash operating cost figures disclosed in previously furnished earnings releases.

Cost applicable to sales and Cost applicable to sales per unit of mineral sold are not measures of financial performance under IFRS, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. We consider Cost applicable to sales and Cost applicable to sales per unit of mineral sold to be key measures in managing and evaluating our operating performance. These measures are widely reported in the precious metals industry as a benchmark for performance, but do not have standardized meanings. You should not consider Cost applicable to sales or Cost applicable to sales per unit of mineral sold as alternatives to cost of sales determined in accordance with IFRS, as indicators of our operating performance. Cost applicable to sales and Cost applicable to sales per unit of mineral sold are calculated without adjusting for by-product revenue amounts.

The tables below set forth (i) a reconciliation of consolidated Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization to consolidated Cost applicable to sales, (ii) reconciliations of the components of Cost applicable to sales (by mine and mineral) to the corresponding consolidated line items set forth on our consolidated statements of profit or loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2014, and (iii) reconciliations of Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization to Cost applicable to sales for each of our mining units. The amounts set forth in Cost applicable to sales and Cost applicable to sales per unit sold for each mine and mineral indicated in the tables below can be reconciled to the amounts set forth on our consolidated statements of profit or loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2014 by reference to the reconciliations of Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization (by mine and mineral), Selling Expenses (by mine and metal) expenses and Exploration in units in operations (by mine and mineral) to consolidated Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization, consolidated Selling Expenses and consolidated Exploration in units in operations expenses, respectively, set forth below.
