Peru's largest publicly traded precious-metals mining company, producing gold and silver and holding a stake in the Cerro Verde copper mine.
Peru's largest publicly traded precious-metals mining company, producing gold and silver and holding a stake in the Cerro Verde copper mine.
Sells gold and silver concentrate and doré (rough metal bars) to refiners at market prices, so results follow metal prices and each mine's grade and cost. Its copper exposure is through minority stakes in mines run by others, Cerro Verde by Freeport-McMoRan and Yanacocha by Newmont, which add a share of their profit rather than sales.
Moat: none (scale). Commodity precious-metals producer; no pricing power over the metals it mines.
Headquarters: Lima, Peru · Founded: 1953
