Roque Benavides, Buenaventura’s Chairman, stated: "Mr. Gobitz has made many important contributions to Buenaventura during his tenure with the Company, including our successful De-bottlenecking Program and related upgraded methodology to evaluate greenfield projects, as well as various improvements to our cost structure and associated capital efficiencies- all of which are clearly resonating. These core competencies will continue to serve the Company well moving into the future. On behalf of the Board, I thank Victor for his leadership, commitment and contributions to Buenaventura over the last four years.”

“I am very proud of the organizational depth which enables Buenaventura to promote capable executives from within," said Mr. Benavides.

With the support of our hard-working and dedicated team, we have positioned our operational infrastructure to meet changing market demands. I am confident Buenaventura will achieve continued success under Leandro’s capable leadership.”
