Ref: Notice of Material Information

Dear Sirs:

As required by the Regulation on Material and Reserved Information (Resolution SMV No. 005-2014-SMV/01), we inform you that:

On the date hereof, the Company has repaid 100% of all outstanding amounts under that certain US$275 million syndicated loan it had entered into with a syndicate of banks, with an original scheduled maturity of April 2025. The repayment was made with proceeds from the sale of the Company’s ownership interests in Minera Yanacocha S.R.L., as previously disclosed to the market.

The repayment of the aforementioned debt reaffirms the Company’s commitment to reduce its debt levels in order to focus on the development of its projects and mining units.

Yours faithfully,

Daniel Domínguez Vera

Stock Exchange Representative
