comin.pe zoominfo.com/c/comin-sac/509891136 Buenaventura Peru's largest publicly-traded precious metals miner — founded in 1953 by Alberto Benavides, now run by the third generation of the family (CEO Leopoldo Benavides), and the first Peruvian company ever listed on the NYSE (BVN, 1996). Its portfolio: underground gold-silver mines (founding Julcani, Yumpag silver star ramping to 10.5M oz/yr, Orcopampa with its new 920m "La Capitana" incline), the ramping open-pit El Agrepión (~200 koz gold-equivalent/yr from 2026), and 71.95% of El Brocal — Peru's largest underground mine, whose Transteki expansion ($250M) doubled its copper output. It also holds 33.75% of Cerro Verde, one of the world's top-10 copper mines (operated by Freeport). Pipeline: option on 40% of Michiquillay (with Anglo American) and Los Chancas JV (Newmont). 2025–26 results are the best in company history: record gold ($3,300/oz) and silver ($36/oz) prices, near-zero debt (0.3x), $1.2B liquidity, dividends restored ~4%
