ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS
On March 13, 2022, Southern Peru Copper
Corporation (“SPCC” or the “Branch”), the Peruvian branch of Southern Copper Corporation
(“SCC” or the “Company”), announced that a group from the rural community of Tumilaca, Pocata, Coscore and Tala, in the Moquegua
region illegally occupied its Viña Blanca reservoir for second time, closing the water supply to the Cuajone mine and threating
the well-being of an estimated of 5,000 residents of the mine’s townsite (including women, children and the elderly) and
paralyzing copper production.
SPCC reported the group has been using
violent tactics to disrupt the Cuajone mine operations since February 10, 2022, when they forcefully blocked its railroad at the R2
tunnel and on February 28, 2022, proceeded to illegally occupy the Viña Blanca reservoir to close the water supply to the
Cuajone mine and its townsite. Despite a temporary restoration of water flow to the hospital and townsite coordinated with the
assistance of the Peruvian police, the group has illegally retaken the reservoir and cut off the water supply from the many Peruvian citizens residing in Cuajone.
The group alleges usurpation of their land by
SPCC. The Branch categorically denies such allegations and indicated that the Cuajone mine has been operating in the area for over 45
years, after it was legally granted mining concessions, surface and easement rights by the Peruvian State in 1951. SPCC indicated that
intransigence of the group’s leaders has prevented a peaceful resolution, resulting in losses to the Company, the Peruvian state
and the Moquegua region. The Branch appealed to the Peruvian Government and National Police to restore the rule of law and protect the
water consumption rights of the Cuajone mine community. SPCC reiterated its willingness to engage in constructive dialogue with the group
leaders provided they cease such violent and coercive tactics that threaten the stability of the region.
