Third Quarter 2010 Results   (GRUPO MEXICO LOGO)
Highlights
Mining Division
Americas Mining Corporation (AMC)
    Combination of Operations of Asarco and Southern Copper Corporation (SCC) under Common Ownership. — On August 10, 2010, SCC formed a special committee of independent directors to evaluate the AMC proposal on behalf of the public stockholders of SCC. The special committee has retained independent legal and financial advisors to assist with this transaction and help the special committee with the evaluation of the proposal. GMexico believes that the combination of SCC and Asarco will provide important synergies, including cost reductions in operations, transportation, and overhead, and capital expenditure savings, which would benefit all stockholders of the combined entity.
Southern Copper Corporation
    Cananea. — Cananea mine has restarted operations and full production capacity of 180,000 tons is expected to be reached by February 2011. The (i) SX/EW plant produced 4,985 tons of copper cathode during the third quarter. We have hired 4,200 contractors and workers for (i) major reconstruction and ramp-up of the mining and metallurgical operations, (ii) construction of the new leaching plant (SX/EW III) and its Quebalix (crushing and conveying system for the leaching material) facility and, (iii) development of social, educational and recreational infrastructure for the benefit of the communities.
 
    Capital Expenditures. — The Company has an investment program underway for a total of US $5.6 billion for mining and metallurgical expansions in the coming 5 years, out of which US$3.8 billion will be invested in Mexico and US$1.8 billion in Peru.
 
      For Cananea’s new SX/EW III leaching plant with Quebalix, ICA-Fluor is reviewing the basic engineering project that began in 2006 and the revised project is expected to be completed by December 2010. The detailed engineering studies will start in 1Q11.
 
      Through September 30, 2010 SCC has invested US$115 million in the expansion of the concentrator at the Toquepala mine in Peru. The engineering plan is under review and the Environmental Impact Study is expected be finalized by the end of this year. The project will increase annual copper production by 100,000 tons in 2012.
 
      With respect to Tía María, SCC has provided the Peruvian government additional information on the project, including the possibility of using seawater. A decision by the government regarding the environmental impact of the Tía María project is expected during the fourth quarter of this year, which would allow to begin of construction in 1Q11 and production by mid-2012.
 
    Cost Reduction. — Operating costs (cash cost) were cut more than half to US$0.145 per pound in 3Q10 from US$0.369 in 3Q09. This improvement is the result of greater productivity and operating efficiencies, in addition to better prices and increased volumes of byproducts.
 
    Copper Hedging. — The Company has recently entered into copper hedge contracts to reduce price volatility and protect sales value. For 4Q10, SCC has hedged 58% of its production through swaps at an average price of US $3.67 per pound. For 2011, it has hedged 11% of its copper production through swaps at an average price of US $3.73 per pound and 16% of its production through zero-cost collars with an average floor price of US $3.00 per pound and an average cap price of US $4.54 per pound.

Third Quarter 2010 Results   (GRUPO MEXICO LOGO)
    Labor Matters. — In September, SCC signed three-year collective bargaining agreements with three of the eight unions in Peru. The collective bargaining agreements with the five remaining unions are in effect until 2013.
 
      The Mexican Authorities have reestablished the rule of law by securing access roads to our La Caridad metallurgical facilities, activities at these operations have normalized with full assistance of the work force. The disruption in our metallurgical operations had no material impact on our results as we sold copper concentrates at outstanding market conditions.
 
    IMMSA receives Clean Industry recognition. — The PROFEPA (Federal Attorney Of Environmental Protection) awarded Clean Industry certification to Industrial Minera México’s Zinc Electrolyte Refinery, Charcas mine, and Santa Bárbara mine.
Asarco
    Copper Hedging. — Asarco has recently entered into copper hedge contracts to reduce price volatility and protect sales value. For 4Q10, Asarco has hedged 50% of its production through swap contracts at prices averaging US $3.50 per pound and 50% of its production through zero- cost collars with a an average floor price of US $3.00 per pound and an average cap of US $4.00 per pound. For 2011, Asarco has hedged 37% of its production through swap contracts at prices averaging US $3.70 per pound and 47% of its production through zero-cost collars with a an average floor price of US $3.00 per pound and an average cap of US $4.45 per pound.
 
    Cost Reduction. — Asarco continued to reduce its operating costs (cash cost), lowering its unit cost to US$1.19 per pound in 3Q10 from US$1.65 in 3Q09. This improvement resulted from greater productivity and operating efficiencies, in addition to greater contributions from byproducts.
Transportation Division
    Ferromex. — The railroad division reported significant growth, led by increased intermodal freight, mainly in Manzanillo, as well as higher border interchanges, which for the first time in its history interchanged more loaded cars than the Nuevo Laredo and Matamoros borders operated by KCSM. By September, Ferromex had interchanged 241,815 cars, representing a growth of 30% compared to 2009 and 51.6% of the total loaded rail cars interchanged at Mexico-US borders.
 
      During 3Q09, the volume of loaded cars was 208,876, a 11% increase than the previous record set in 2008’s third quarter. Also, 11.779 billion tons/kilometer were transported, 10% over the previous record set in the third quarter of 2008.
 
      In general rail freight (excluding Intermodal), Ferromex was the railroad with the second largest volume growth in North America during the first nine months of 2010, growing 18.1% over 2009, slightly less than Canadian National. According to the Association of American Railroads, US railroads grew an average of 8.4% during the same period.
 
    Ferrosur. — Ferrosur also reported significant growth in 3Q10. Sales were US$69.7 million, a 20% increase from the US$57.9 million posted in 3Q09. EBITDA increased 35% to US$19.3 million compared to US$14.3 million during the same period in the previous year. The nine month cumulative sales amounted to US$203.9 million, 24% above the previous year, while cumulative EBITDA of US$54.6 million represented an increase of 24%. The energy segment

Third Quarter 2010 Results   (GRUPO MEXICO LOGO)
      increased loaded cars by 156% due to the start of diesel traffic from Minatitlán, Veracruz to San Martín Texmelucan, Puebla, while the metals segment increased 38% and automotive 34%, reflecting the strong increase in exportations seen in this industry.
 
    Railroad Capital Expenditures. — The Railroad Division (including Ferrosur) invested US$67 million during the first nine months of the year to improve infrastructure throughout its routes, aiming to modernize its operating systems for greater safety and improve its commercial systems. Due to the strong growth in 2010, the Board of Directors approved in July an extraordinary capital expenditure of US$170 million, US$100 million for the purchase of 44 new model locomotives and US$70 million for the expansion of 8 current sidings and the construction of 17 new sidings. The locomotives have been ordered and are expected to be delivered in May 2011. The sidings expansion and construction began in October, taking advantage of the dry season, and is expected to begin operating in 1Q11.
 
      In July 2010, Ferrosur purchased 9 locomotives to transport the Pemex traffic more efficiently and to handle the current increase in volume. The locomotives are expected to be delivered on December 2010.

Metals Market
During 3Q10, the prices for almost all our metals continued to rise following the trend that began at the start of the year, given China’s consumption demand, the gradual recovery of the developed economies, a weak dollar, and investment flow in the commodities sector.
We believe that basic metals prices will remain volatile in the short term. However, looking into 2011 and beyond, we are confident about the good outlook for copper, based on limited offer, low inventory levels, sustained growth among the emerging economies, and the gradual economic recovery of the developed countries.

2   The Asarco operation consolidated again with GMexico results as of December 10, 2009. The figures for 3Q09 are provided for comparative purposes only.
Asarco’s copper production in 3Q10 was 52,776 tons, representing an increase of 15% compared to 3Q09. This increase is primarily due to better ore grades at the Mission and Ray mines, and also better recovery at Mission.
Asarco sales in 3Q10 were US$414.6 million, increasing 36.7% over the same period in 2009, mainly due to increased copper production and improved metals prices.
The cost of sales during 3Q10 was US$224.0 million, compared to US$179.1 million in 3Q09. Despite the increase in the quarter, cost of sales declined 5.9% from 2Q10 mainly because there were no adjustments made during this quarter for the inventory revaluation performed after December 10, 2009, when Asarco was reincorporated into GMéxico.
The September 30, 2010 cumulative production cost per pound of copper, net of byproduct gains, decreased to US$1.19 per pound, compared to US$1.65 in the same 2009 period. This improvement is the result of greater productivity, operating efficiencies, and better byproduct prices.
EBITDA in 3Q10 reached US$187.8 million, equivalent to 45.3% of sales, representing an increase of 60.1%, compared to 3Q09.
Capital expenditures during 3Q10 were US$12.3 million, an increase of 50.1% over 3Q09, primarily due to the purchase of four new 400-ton Liehberr trucks, reaching 17 new units bought under the program to purchase a total of 21 trucks. This will increase stripping activities at the Ray mine to expose greater areas of copper ore and maintain a low unit cost.
Asarco has remained debt-free as of 3Q10, after having prepaid the US$280 million note to the asbestos creditors.

The volume transported during 3Q10 increased 17.3%, transporting 11.779 billion net tons/kilometer, compared to 10.040 billion transported during the same period last year. The sectors that reported the strongest recovery were: intermodal with 48%, agricultural with 35%, siderurgical with 18%, and automotive with 17%.
Revenues for the Transportation Division increased 27.8% to reach US$303.7 million in 3Q10, compared to US$237.6 million in 3Q09. This improvement is explained by the above mentioned volume increase as a result of the economic recovery in addition to the combination of more favorable rates and improved traffics.
The following chart shows revenue contribution by segment, as of September 30, 2010:
(PIE CHART)
The operating cost for 3Q10 was US$202.6 million, 27.6% higher than 3Q09. This increase is due to increased freight volume, a 9.8% increase in the peso price of diesel, the damages and suspended service as a result of Hurricane Alex, and exchange rate effects, all of which were partially mitigated by better performance of our locomotives.
EBITDA for 3Q10 was US$94 million, representing an increase of 41.6% compared to 3Q09.

Ferrosur’s sales in 3Q10 were US$69.7 million, 20.3% higher than 3Q09. This gain was driven by a 1.8% increase in the net tons/kilometer transported, which increased from US $1.730 billion in 3Q09 to US $1.762 billion in 3Q10.
EBITDA for Ferrosur for 3Q10 was US$19.3 million, 34.5% higher than in the same 2009 period, representing a margin of 27.7%.
