Buenaventura Announces the Granting of Environmental Permit for Yumpag Project

Compañia de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. (“Buenaventura” or “the Company”) (NYSE: BVN; Lima Stock Exchange: BUE.LM), Peru’s largest publicly-traded precious metals mining company, is pleased to announce that the Company has received approval of its Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for its Yumpag project by the Peruvian Environmental Certification authority (SENACE).
