Operations Resume at Buenaventura's Uchucchacua Mine

Compania de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. BVN announced today that operations resumed on April 25, 2011 at the Company's operating unit Uchucchacua after the conclusion of a road blockade that initially started as a strike on April 4, 2011. This stoppage was due to surrounding Oyon Community's demands for certain benefits despite the fact that on April 4, it was presented as a strike promoted by personnel from Uchucchacua contractors.
