General Department of Mining Promotion and Sustainability PERU´S 2018 MINE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS PORTFOLIO 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Mining has played a significant role in the country's economic growth in recent years. In 2017, it represented 9.9% of the national GDP, 8.6% of the revenues collected by the national tax agency SUNAT and 61.8% of the total value of national exports. Evidently, mining investments play a vital role in the Peruvian economy; therefore, the exploration of mineral resources and the construction of new projects are encouraged, as the prosperity of the industry will in hand contribute to the country’s development. Consequently, it is essential for Peru to have a vision about the potential projects that will contribute to the development of this activity in the coming years.
This Second Edition of the 2018 Mine Construction Project Portfolio consists of 48 projects, with a global investment amount of US$ 59,134 billion, registering an increase of US$ 627 million compared to the previous edition.
The increase is due to the incorporation of two new projects, as well as investment adjustments made by mining companies. Likewise, two mining projects found in the First Edition were not considered in this edition as they completed the construction phase during the current year: Ampliacion Marcona (US$ 1,100 billion) and Ampliacion Shahuindo (US$ 109 million).
It is worth mentioning that at the end of 2017, US$ 3,780 billion had already been executed in the development of the 48 projects, leaving US$ 55,354 billion to be invested in the coming years.
Out of the 48 projects in the portfolio, seven are under construction and it is expected that one will complete this stage by the end of this year (Ampliacion Toquepala). Six of the projects began construction in 2018, committing US$ 8,880 billion. Additionally, it is expected that six projects will begin construction in 2019.
Finally, 24 projects still have no scheduled start date due to factors associated with the development process of the projects (EIAs and Feasibility Studies in process, additional explorations, design changes, land acquisition, search for financing or interruption due to social conflicts).

2.8. INVESTMENTS ACCORDING TO THE ORE TO BE EXTRACTED
The main ore to extract is copper, 27 of the 48 projects have this metal as its most important product, and the sum of these projects is US$ 42.196 billion. Ariana (US$ 125 million), Mina Justa (US$ 1,600 billion) and Quellaveco (US$ 5,300 billion) are copper projects that are already under construction.
The second ore to extract is gold, the portfolio includes 7 gold projects that represent 12% of the global investment. As an example, San Gabriel (Ex Chucapaca) will contribute with 150,000 fine ounces of gold. Currently, there are only two iron projects which are Pampa de Pongo (US$ 2,200 million) and Hierro Apurimac (US$ 2,900 million), together represent a 9% share.
At the same time, the phosphate project Bayovar 12 (US$ 167.7 million) has increased, , which is why the Portfolio currently includes four projects with a global investment of US$ 2,149 billion. As for the zinc, silver, uranium/lithium and tin projects, they have a distribution percentage of 5% as a whole, with a total of eight projects.

3.2. PROJECTION OF INVESTMENTS FOR 2018-2021
The projection of investments for the 2018-2021 period amounts to US$ 13,893 billion, representing 23.5% of the global amount of investments foreseen in the portfolio. These estimates do not include the investments for sustaining and optimizing current operations, nor exploration investments.
In 2018, an investment of US$ 1,311 billion is expected, representing 9.4% of the total investments to be made in the 2018-2021 period. This year, one project will be finalizing its construction, whilst six others will commence. It is noteworthy that two projects from the previous edition, Ampliacion Marcona and Ampliacion Shahuindo, have completed the construction phase during this year.
In 2019, an investment of US$ 3,043 billion is projected, meaning a growth of 132.1% compared to the previous year. This substantial increase is estimated as result of the expectation of higher disbursements from companies that have started construction in 2018 such as Quellaveco, Mina Justa, Ampliacion Toromocho, among others. Likewise, six projects are expected to begin construction.
Thus, in the year 2020 the positive trend continues with US$ 4,751 billion, meaning a growth of 56.1% compared to the previous year. Although, only three projects will start construction in said year, they have a joint global investment of US$ 5,457 billion that would be executed by 2023. In addition, the sustained growth of annual investments in large projects would support this result.
Finally, an investment of US$ 4,787 billion is expected in 2021, representing 34.5% of the period. Although, there is a slight increase of 0.8% compared to the previous year, said year will see the investment consolidation of large projects by their beginning of operations. Additionally, it is expected to have committed the investment of 15 projects, which together with the joint investment in projects that are under construction in 2018 (Ampliacion Toquepala, Quecher Main, Relaves San Rafael, Ampliacion Toromocho, Ariana, Mina Justa and Quellaveco) and the investment made in the development of the projects that will end construction this year (Ampliacion Marcona and Ampliacion Shahuindo Fase II), would represent a global investment of more than US$ 21,000 billion by 2021.

3.3. INVESTMENTS PROJECTION AFTER 2021
The projection of investments in projects as of the year 2022 amounts to US$ 41,461 billion, representing 70.1% of the global amount of investments. In 2022 the start of construction of two projects is estimated: Magistral and Michiquillay that would commit an investment of US$ 2,980 billion. Likewise, there are US$ 30,709 billion corresponding to 24 projects that have not yet defined a construction start date.
IV. CHANGES RECORDED IN THE PORTFOLIO
In this chapter, a comparison of the current portfolio will be made in relation to the First Edition of the Mine Construction Projects Portfolio published on March 1, 2018 in order to observe its evolution. To do this, the changes occurred compared to the previous edition will be analyzed.
The total investment of the Second Edition of the project portfolio amounts to US$ 59,134 billion, considering 48 projects located in 17 regions of the country. This means a total increase of the estimated global investment of US$ 627 million compared to the US$ 58,507 billion considered in the first edition.
COMPARISON OF THE MINE PROJECT PORTFOLIO (1st and 2nd Edition)
Below is a list of the main changes that have taken place.
1. The implementation of two of the three projects planned for this year in the previous edition was carried out. It should be noted that the total investment in the construction of the Ampliacion Marcona project was US$ 1,100 billion, less than the US$ 1,300 billion anticipated in the previous edition. Thus, this investment, added to the investment made in the completion of the Ampliacion Shahuindo project of US$ 109 million, was excluded in this publication. 2. Six projects began construction in 2018, thus committing a total investment of US$ 8,880 billion. The projects are: Extension Toromocho, Quecher Main, Relaves B2 San Rafael, Quellaveco, Ariana and Mina Justa. 3. Additionally, two projects were incorporated in the current edition: Yanacocha Sulfuros and Bayovar 12, which have a total investment of US$ 2,100 billion and US$ 168 million, respectively. 4. The Ampliacion La Arena project (phase II) was eliminated as in the previous edition, data from the La Arena II mining project was mistakenly considered; this project is still in a conceptual phase. 5. Out of the 48 projects, there are 32 projects that have not changed their investment amount. 6. There are 14 projects that modified their investment amounts, representing a difference of US $ 102 million, among which are:
General Department of Mining Promotion and Sustainability PERU´S 2018 MINE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS PORTFOLIO 20
✓ Ampliacion Toromocho, which went from an investment of US$ 1,300 billion to US$ 1,355 billion, since the company has determined that the project will be of greater magnitude, requiring a greater investment. ✓ Similarly, the overall Quellaveco project investment increased from US$ 4,882 to US$ 5,300 billion, increasing by 9%. Likewise, Mina Justa went from US$ 1,348 billion to US$ 1,600 billion, raising the investment amount by 19%. ✓ The total investment of the Quechua project amounted to US$ 1,290 billion, increasing by 52% compared to the amount registered in the previous edition; as result of an updated carried out according to the information reported by the company operating the project in its Monthly Statistical Declaration. ✓ Macusani, increased its global investment amount from US$ 300 to US$ 800 million as a result of the discovery of the potential lithium deposit and the development of new explorations.

ANNEX 1: METHODOLOGY
Coverage
The Mine Construction Project Portfolio includes projects aimed at developing and/or constructing a mine, either new or for tailings reuse (greenfield) and expansion or replacement of existing ones (brownfield). In addition, these projects are owned by private companies of large and medium-scale mining and include both metallic and non-metallic minerals.
The Portfolio only includes those projects whose global amount of investment exceeds 70 million dollars and which are, at least, in the pre-feasibility stage, and there is already a greater degree of certainty about mineral resources, after having carried out the exploration and cubing of reserves. In addition, it considers projects whose start of construction is foreseen in the next ten years.
It should be noted that the investment amounts, start dates of construction, start of operation (start-up) and other data are compilations from different sources and estimates made by the General Department of Mining Promotion and Sustainability of the Ministry of Energy and Mines, so that does not compromise -in any way- the companies that own the projects. Characteristics of the projects
1.1 Type of project
This characteristic provides information about the productive purpose of the project, its categories are the following:
• New projects: These are projects that start from scratch, having to settle in a new geographical space, establish ties with nearby communities, obtain all permits and develop all the necessary infrastructure. By using geographic spaces, resources and new facilities, these types of projects are classified as "greenfield".
• Expansion projects: These are projects that seek to expand current productive capacity, in order to reduce costs or due to the fall of mineral resource laws. They are developed in the same place and in parallel to the productive process in progress, for this reason, this type of project is classified as "brownfield".
• Replacement projects: These are projects that seek to maintain current productive capacity with new mining developments, due to the fall of laws and / or the depletion of mineral reserves in the exploitation sectors. These projects are classified as "brownfield".
• Reutilization projects: These are projects whose purpose is the reuse of tailings. These projects involve the development of new infrastructure and the use of new spaces, which is why they are classified as "greenfield". Progress
This characteristic provides information about the current situation of the project and what stage of development it is in, its categories are:
General Department of Mining Promotion and Sustainability PERU´S 2018 MINE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS PORTFOLIO 22
• Pre-feasibility: Category assigned to those projects that have started the preparation of their pre-feasibility study or have completed them before the feasibility stage begins. At this stage, there is already a greater degree of certainty about mineral resources, after having carried out the exploration and cubing of reserves.
• Feasibility: Category assigned to those projects that have begun the feasibility studies until they have finished but have not yet made the investment decision.
• Detail engineering: Category assigned to those projects that have investment approval and that are preparing basic and detailed engineering studies.
• Construction: Category assigned to those projects that have all the necessary permits and that have started the construction and /or development of the mine until before the start- up or start of operations.
1.2. Status of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
This characteristic provides information on the status of the detailed Environmental Impact Assessment (DEIA), an instrument without which no project can start the construction of a mine. The DEIA can be in one of these statuses:
• Not submitted: Means that the project does not have EIA.
• In preparation: It means that the project owner has communicated to SENACE the start of the preparation of the EIA.
• In evaluation: It means that the preparation of the EIA was completed and is being evaluated by SENACE.
• Approved: Means that the EIA successfully completed the evaluation stage and was approved. Sources of information
The information contained in the Portfolio is a compilation of diverse sources made by the General Department of Mining Promotion and Sustainability of the Ministry of Energy and Mines. In case there are differences between the data from different sources, the data is taken from the most reliable source, in the following order of priorities:
1. Pre-feasibility studies, feasibility and detailed engineering.
2. Reports to shareholders, quarterly and annual reports, and financial reports.
3. Environmental Impact Assessment, Mining Plan, Mine Closure Plan and Authorization of Benefit Concession.
4. Official presentations made by the company that owns the project. Books, articles, magazines, web pages and other specialized media.
