ITEM 8.01 Other Events

 

On September 23, 2013, Mr. Oscar Gonzalez Rocha, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Southern Copper Corporation (“SCC”) in a telephone interview and responding to questions of reporters in Lima said that three or four years ago SCC had expressed to Anglo American its preliminary interest in a potential joint development of  Anglo American’s Quellaveco mine.  Mr. Gonzalez Rocha said that he told reporters that SCC was still interested in discussing with Anglo American a potential investment in Quellaveco.

 

Southern Copper Corporation is one of the largest integrated copper producers in the world and we believe we currently have the largest copper reserves in the industry.  SCC is a NYSE and Lima Stock Exchange listed company that is 81.7 % owned by Grupo Mexico, a Mexican company listed on the Mexican stock exchange.  The remaining 18.3 % ownership interest is held by the international investment community.  SCC operates mining units and metallurgical facilities in Mexico and Peru and conducts exploration activities in Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico and Peru.
