Some of the information in this Form 8-K, including the Exhibit attached hereto, constitutes “forward-looking statements” that do not directly or exclusively relate to historical facts. Such information may reflect our intentions, plans, expectations, assumptions and beliefs about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of our control. These factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements and include known and unknown risks. These risks include, but are not limited to, operations and financial condition and the industry in which we operate. Because actual results could differ materially from our intentions, plans, expectations, assumptions and beliefs about the future, you are urged to view such forward-looking statements with caution. Southern Copper Corporation does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
