Dear Mr. Wojciechowski, Mr. Cannarella, Mr. Coleman:
We note the receipt by Buenaventura Mining Company Inc. (Compañía de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A., or the “Company”), a sociedad anónima abierta (open stock company) under the laws of the Republic of Peru (“Peru”), of the comment letter (the “Comment Letter”) dated November 14, 2022 from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) regarding the above-referenced Form 20-F (the “2021 20-F”).
In the Comment Letter you requested that the Company respond to your comments regarding the 2021 20-F within ten business days or advise you when they would provide a response. On November 18, 2022, the Company requested an extension of ten business days to provide a response due to the fact that the Company was conducting the necessary analysis for purposes of providing its response to comment 1 of the Comment Letter.
On behalf of the Company, we would like to request an extension of an additional ten business days to provide its response, on the basis that the Company’s internal analysis for purposes of providing its response to comment 1 of the Comment Letter is still ongoing. Accordingly, the Company respectfully requests an extension until December 27, 2022 to file its response to the Staff Comment Letter.
