Stars
Tambomayo gold-silver-zinc mine, Arequipa
Tambomayo is one of Compañía de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A.’s key operating mines in Peru, and it helps fund group cash flow through current gold, silver, and zinc output. As a Star, it stays strategically important even as it needs steady operating support to keep volumes and margins up. Its role in a multi-metal portfolio makes it a core cash-generating asset.
Orcopampa gold mine, Arequipa
Orcopampa, in Castilla, remains a core gold cash generator for Compañía de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. Its long mine life and established footprint make it a clear Stars asset in the BCG Matrix, but it still needs sustaining capital to hold output.
Coimolache stake, Cajamarca
Coimolache in Cajamarca is a mature gold-silver asset in northern Peru and a steady cash source for Compañía de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. In 2025, it stayed near the top tier of the Company’s producing assets by scale. It still needs reserve and mine-life work, but that support helps protect near-term cash flow.
Cerro Verde economic interest, Arequipa
Compañía de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A.'s 19.58% economic interest in Cerro Verde gives it large-scale copper exposure in one of Peru’s best-known mines, a clear fit with copper demand tied to electrification. Even without operating control, the stake matters because Cerro Verde is a long-life, tier-one asset with low-cost production and strong cash generation.
- Copper is Buenaventura's key long-term demand lever.
- Minority stake, but strategic asset quality is high.
- Exposure is tied to electrification demand.
El Brocal and Colquijirca unit, Pasco
El Brocal and Colquijirca in Pasco is a core polymetallic hub for Compañía de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A., with zinc, lead, silver, and copper output. In 2025, the unit still supported current production and helped replace tonnage, so it reduced single-metal risk and kept the portfolio balanced.
- Diversified metal mix lowers commodity concentration.
- Key asset for production and reserve replacement.
Buenaventura’s Key Mines Keep Cash Flow and Copper Exposure Alive
Stars for Compañía de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. are Tambomayo, Orcopampa, Coimolache, Cerro Verde, and El Brocal-Colquijirca. In 2025, they still drove current cash flow through gold, silver, zinc, copper, and lead output, with Cerro Verde’s 19.58% stake adding long-life copper exposure.
| Asset | Star role |
|---|---|
| Tambomayo | Multi-metal cash flow |
| Orcopampa | Core gold cash generator |
| Cerro Verde | 19.58% copper exposure |

Cash Cows
Yanacocha economic interest, Cajamarca
Yanacocha is a large, mature gold complex in Cajamarca, and Compañía de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. holds a 43.65% economic interest. With the asset now in late-life mode, Buenaventura’s upside is mainly financial, not growth-led. That makes it a classic Cash Cow: steady, dividend-like cash tied to a low-growth mine.
Hydroelectric power plants, Peru
Hydroelectric power plants in Peru act as a Cash Cow for Compañía de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. because they can generate steadier cash than an underground mine, with less exposure to ore grades and mine-life swings.
Power generation is usually a low-growth business, but margins and plant utilization are more predictable, so it helps smooth portfolio cash flow.
For a miner, this kind of asset is valuable not for rapid expansion, but for dependable, recurring cash that can support the core mining cycle.
Mineral by-products and concentrates
Mineral by-products and concentrates fit Buenaventura’s Cash Cow bucket because they add revenue from existing mine and processing circuits, so no new mine buildout is needed. Once the circuits are running, cash conversion can stay strong, but growth is capped because output depends on ore grades and throughput, not fresh expansion. These streams support the core business more than they drive it.
Manganese sulphate monohydrate, Peru
Manganese sulphate monohydrate in Peru is a niche chemical output from Company Name’s mineral chain, far smaller than its core gold, silver, and zinc assets. In 2025, Company Name’s reported business still showed this type of byproduct line as a steady-margin contributor when volumes hold. It is cash-generative, but it does not yet look like a scale-growth engine.
- Small, non-core chemical output
- Supports margin if volumes stay stable
- Not a scale-growth business yet
Established processing infrastructure, Peru
Compañía de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A.’s Peru processing base is a classic Cash Cow: existing plants, mills, and logistics are already built, so extra capex is limited. Once in place, these assets keep converting ore into cash through steady throughput and tighter recoveries. It is the portfolio’s lowest-risk operating base.
- Low incremental growth capex
- Stable cash from throughput
- Efficiency gains lift margins
- Core Peru operating platform
Buenaventura’s Cash Cows: Stable Cash From Yanacocha and Hydro Assets
Compañía de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A.’s Cash Cows are mature, low-growth assets: Yanacocha, where it holds a 43.65% economic interest, plus Peru hydro plants and existing processing circuits. They generate steadier cash than new mine builds, with limited capex and upside tied more to throughput and efficiency than expansion.
| Asset | Cash role | Key fact |
|---|---|---|
| Yanacocha | Cash Cow | 43.65% interest |
| Hydro plants | Cash Cow | Stable power cash flow |

Dogs
Uchucchacua mine, Oyón
Uchucchacua mine in Oyón is Buenaventura's historic silver-lead-zinc asset, but depletion has reduced its output base and growth visibility. With weaker scale and a shorter reserve runway than the company’s stronger units, it fits the BCG "Dog" bucket: low growth, low share.
Julcani mine, Huancavelica
Julcani mine in Huancavelica is an old silver-gold asset and fits the Dogs quadrant in Compañía de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A.'s BCG view. Its growth runway is limited versus the company’s larger portfolio, so it looks more like a maintenance case than a capital-growth driver. That makes it a likely exit or harvest candidate.
La Zanja mine, Cajamarca
La Zanja in Cajamarca fits the Dog box: it is a late-life gold mine with fading reserve life, so its cash flow matters less than Compañía de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A.'s core long-term growth projects. Mature assets like this usually need higher sustaining capex and deliver weaker strategic upside, which is why they sit low on both growth and market-share value. In BCG terms, La Zanja is a harvest-or-exit asset, not a growth engine.
San Gregorio project, Peru
San Gregorio in Peru is still a small, low-visibility asset for Compañía de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A., far behind its flagship growth projects. With no public 2025/2026 standalone capex or production scale that would justify heavy funding, it stays a low-priority hold. In BCG terms, weak growth plus limited portfolio weight make it a Dog.
- Small, non-core project
- No disclosed 2025/2026 scale
- Heavy capex not justified
- Low growth, low priority
Yumpaq unit, Pasco
Yumpaq unit, Pasco is a small-scale silver-related holding for Compañía de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A., so its BCG fit is "Dog": low share and low growth. It does not materially change total production, revenue mix, or market position, and its value is mainly as a minor optionality asset rather than a core growth driver.
- Low share, low growth.
- Small silver exposure only.
- Limited impact on group results.
Buenaventura’s Dogs: Harvest or Exit
Buenaventura's Dogs are mostly mature, small, and low-growth assets: Uchucchacua, Julcani, La Zanja, San Gregorio, and Yumpaq. They sit in the harvest-or-exit zone because they have limited reserve life, weak scale, and little strategic upside versus the Company Name's core growth projects.
| Asset | BCG fit | Key signal |
|---|---|---|
| Uchucchacua | Dog | Depletion |
| La Zanja | Dog | Late-life |
| Yumpaq | Dog | Small scale |
Question Marks
San Gabriel project, Moquegua
San Gabriel in Moquegua is Compañía de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A.’s key gold bet, but at end-2025 it still had no meaningful production. It needs major development capital and tight execution before cash flow can start. That makes it a classic Question Mark: high upside, high risk, and still uncertain.
Trapiche copper project, Apurímac
Trapiche copper project in Apurímac is a high-growth Question Mark for Compañía de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A.: it offers large long-term upside, but it still has no meaningful operating share today. Copper demand stays structurally strong, with the International Energy Agency warning that clean-energy needs could nearly double copper demand by 2040. The project’s value still depends on permits, financing, and a final investment decision.
Marcapunta Norte project, Pasco
Marcapunta Norte in Pasco is a growth-linked extension of Compañía de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A.'s polymetallic platform, aimed at adding mine life rather than near-term cash flow. In 2025, it was still not a disclosed material profit center, so it fits the build-or-delay bucket in a BCG Matrix. If developed, its value is longer reserve life, not current earnings.
Greenfield exploration portfolio, Peru
Compañía de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A.’s Peru greenfield portfolio is a classic Question Mark: it needs continued exploration spend to keep options alive, but it still has no guaranteed production base. In 2025, that meant cash was directed to early-stage targets with upside, while output stayed dependent on the company’s producing mines.
- High upside, low certainty
- 2025 spend keeps the pipeline alive
- No standalone production base yet
New industrial minerals expansion
Compañía de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A.'s new industrial minerals push is still a Question Mark: as of 2025, gold and copper remained the core value drivers, while chemical and by-product lines were still too small to move the group materially.
The upside is real, because these businesses can scale faster than legacy mines, but they start from a low base and need proof on volume, margins, and steady offtake.
- High growth, low base
- Core gold and copper still dominate
- Scale not yet proven
Buenaventura’s Growth Bets Remain High-Risk Question Marks
Compañía de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A.’s Question Marks are still San Gabriel, Trapiche, Marcapunta Norte, and early-stage Peru targets: all have upside, but none had meaningful 2025 production. San Gabriel and Trapiche remain the biggest bets, yet both still depend on permits, capital, and execution. The portfolio fits a high-risk, high-growth build phase.
| Asset | 2025 state | BCG fit |
|---|---|---|
| San Gabriel | No meaningful output | Question Mark |
| Trapiche | Pre-FID | Question Mark |
