www.southerncoppercorp.com | · First six months 2012 (“6M12”) net sales were $3,465.8 million, 1.8% higher than the 6M11. This increase was the result of higher copper sales volume from increased production at our open pit mines despite lower metal prices for copper (-14%), silver (-11%) and Molybdenum (-18%). · EBITDA in 6M12 and 2Q12 were $2,029.4 million and $972.3 million, both with an EBITDA margin of 59%. |
| |
|
· Net income for the 6M12 was $1,185.0 million, an increase of 4% compared with 6M11. Net income represented 34% of total revenues.
· Copper mine production increased by 16% in 6M12, compared with the 6M11, due to better ore grades and recovery of the Buenavista, La Caridad and Cuajone production. Total copper production in 6M12 was 313,500 tons. Molybdenum, silver and zinc production, our three major by-products, also increased by 6%, 14%, and 8%, respectively.
· Operating cash cost per pound of copper before by-product credits was $1.71 per pound in 2Q12, compared with $1.75 per pound in 2Q11, a decrease of 2%. Operating cash cost per pound, net of by-products was $0.59 in 2Q12.
· Capital expenditures were $230.3 million for 2Q12 and $407.7 million for 6M12, mainly used for our Buenavista projects.
· On July 26, 2012, the Board of Directors authorized a cash dividend of $0.24 per share. The dividend is payable on August 28, 2012, to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 15, 2012.
Commenting on the Company’s first six month results, Mr. German Larrea, Chairman of the Board, said, “Looking beyond the current volatile markets, the medium to long term outlook remains positive for metals, as strong demand growth from China and the emerging economies is poised to continue. The quality of our assets and expansion plans, combined with our positive long term view of copper prices gives us confidence in the sustainable cash generating ability of our business.”
“Additionally, I would like to highlight our continued focus on value creation, investing in our organic growth through expansion projects, especially at the Buenavista mine in Mexico. We have spent $407.7 million in 6M12 on our capital projects and have additionally committed approximately $300 million for mine equipment to support the Buenavista projects.”

Production
Copper.- In 2Q12 copper mine production increased by 10% to 160,595 tons compared with 146,240 tons in the 2Q11. This increase was the result of higher production at the Cuajone, La Caridad and Buenavista mines, which increased production by 31%, 18% and 4%, respectively, due to higher ore grades and recoveries.
Molybdenum.- Molybdenum production increased by 4% in 2Q12 compared to 2Q11 due to higher production at the Cuajone and La Caridad mines as a result of higher grade and recovery.
Silver.- Silver mine production increased 10% in 2Q12 from 2Q11, principally as a result of higher production at our Cuajone (+31%), Buenavista (+28%) and La Caridad (+12%) mines.
Zinc.- Production increased 4% in 2Q12, mainly as a result of higher grades and recoveries, and production recovery at Santa Eulalia mine after the flooding problems of prior years were resolved.
Capital Expenditures
The Board of Directors approved a $1.5 billion capital expenditure program for 2012 which is being used for our projects in Mexico and Peru as well as for maintenance and replacement capital.
Buenavista Projects.- The Quebalix project’s overall progress is 98% and this facility will begin operating in September 2012. Through June 30, 2012, we have invested $71 million of the $77 million budgeted. This investment consists of a crushing, conveying and spreading system that improves the SXEW copper production by increasing recovery and reducing the required time to extract copper from mineral.
The construction of a molybdenum plant for the current concentrator is at 48% of progress. The project has a budget of $38 million and is expected to begin operations in the 1Q13. It will produce 2,000 tons of molybdenum contained in concentrate.

| SECOND QUARTER AND FIRST SIX MONTH 2012 RESULTS | SOUTHERN COPPER |
The SXEW III Project, also at the Buenavista mine, is moving forward. Plant equipment from Tia Maria will allow us to increase the annual plant capacity from 88,000 tons to 120,000 tons. Basic engineering was modified by the supplier to include the construction of an additional conveyor line. Overall progress of the project at the end of June is 31%. The new plant should begin operating in the first half of 2014 and has a total budget cost of $444 million.
The Buenavista mining expansion project includes mine equipment acquisition and a new concentrator with an estimated annual production capacity of 188,000 tons of copper and 2,600 tons of molybdenum. This project has a capital budget of $1.4 billion and it is expected to begin operation by the first half of 2015. Regarding mine equipment, through June 30, 2012, we have committed $307 million in purchase orders for the acquisition of 5 shovels, 41 trucks, 5 drills and other mine equipment. Basic engineering for the new concentrator is completed; detailed engineering and equipment acquisition are moving forward as scheduled. The bidding process for the steel structure and earthmoving equipment was conducted. Overall progress of the project at June 30, 2012 is 22%.
Angangueo.- Basic and detailed engineering are moving forward as scheduled to develop this underground polymetallic deposit in Michoacan, Mexico. With an estimated investment of $131 million, Angangueo will have potential annual production of 10,400 tons of copper, 9,700 tons of zinc and 3,900 tons of lead. The project is scheduled to begin production in the first half of 2015.
Toquepala Expansion.- Through June 30, 2012, we have spent $212 million. These expenditures include a new crusher and a conveyor belt system to replace rail hauling and other costs, which will allow for future savings. Subject to obtaining the appropriate permits, the Toquepala expansion is scheduled to start production in the first quarter 2014. This project will increase annual production by 100,000 tons of copper and 3,100 tons of molybdenum.
Cuajone Expansion.- As of June 30, 2012, the Company has spent $113 million on two projects related to this unit’s expansion: the Variable Cut Ore Grade project and the High Pressure Grinding Rolls (“HPGR”) project. Current production is showing the initial benefits of the variable cut project, which will be at full capacity by the 3Q13, adding an average of 22,000 tons of copper and 700 tons of molybdenum to Cuajone’s annual production.
Tia Maria.- We continue to work on a new EIA study that will address recent government guidance on these studies, in order to reach an agreement that is fair and mutually satisfactory to all parties.
Tantahuatay.- This mine, in which we hold a 44.2% interest, is located in Cajamarca, in northern Peru. Production started in August 2011 and in the first six months of 2012 the mine produced 66,700 ounces of gold and 418,600 ounces of silver. In the 6M12, we have recognized $24.7 million in earnings (see caption Equity earnings of affiliate, on our Statement of Earnings) for our share of the net income of the mine.
