We value Cerro Verde using a Discounted Cash Flow to the Firm

methodology. For the valuation, we consider its single mining unit and

its expansion project, which is meant to increase the processing

capacity from 120,000 to 360,000 metric tons per day (TPD).

Cerro Verde is basically a copper producer. In 2011, 92% of its

sales corresponded to copper concentrates and copper cathodes.

In the same year, the company ranked second in the Peruvian

Ranking of Copper Producers with a 25% stake.

During 2012, the red metal’s price suffered a fall due to lower

global demand. However, in accordance with estimations by

International Copper Study Group (ICSG), there will be a deficit of

400,000 MT in the global supply of refined copper that will not be

covered until 2014. Therefore, we expect copper price to remain

above USD/Lb 3.40 along 2012 – 2017.

High profitability compared to its peers

Cerro Verde is one of most profitable mining in the world. Below is

a comparison of its financial margins:

Despite the fact that these margins have had a decreasing

tendency during the last 4 years, this hasn’t affected the

company’s competiveness. Cerro Verde’s ROE and ROA for the

last 12 months were 28.4% and 24.0%, respectively. With these

indicators, it exceeded the industry’s average ROE and ROA that

were 19.9% and 13.1%, respectively.

Cerro Verde’s main shareholder is Freeport McMoran, which is the

world’s main molybdenum producer and one of the world’s main

copper producers. It also produces gold in a lower extent.

It has presence in South America, North America, Africa and

Indonesia, which demonstrates that it has achieved an important

geographically diversification that supports the continuity of its

operations.

As of closing of 2011, the company had calculated proved and

probable copper reserves equivalent to 136,700 million copper

pounds and 3,420 million molybdenum pounds. Of the total

reserves of Freeport, Cerro Verde represents 22% and 20% of

copper and molybdenum reserves, respectively.

A water treatment plant in Alto Cayma, concluded in July

2012.

The company’s cash cost has increased in the last 3 years. This

as a consequence of the reduction of produced copper pounds

from 695 million in 2008 to 647 million in 2011. However, this

happened in a scenario where silver and molybdenum sales

(credit to determine the operation’s cash cost) have been

increasing since 2009, mitigating the cash cost increase (See

Chart 2).

The company does not have a conflict record with communities in

Arequipa. This is due to a mutual development policy with the

communities of the zone. Up to date, the company has built for the

communities:

a)

b)

Bamputañe Dam, concluded in December 2009.

The company’s commitment in order to achieve the community’s

development reduces the probability of emerging social conflicts

that may affect current operations and/or the expansion project.

However, it is important to remark that the company has been

penalized by Ministerio de Ambiente (Ministry of Environment),

through Organismo de Evaluacion y Fiscalizacion Ambiental –

OEFA (Organization for Environmental Evaluation and Inspection),

twice. The fines’ amount reached PEN 248,000 due to

carelessness in its productive process that contaminated the

ground and air of surrounding communities.

Company’s description

Sociedad Minera Cerro Verde S.A.A. is based in Peru and its shares list in the Lima Stock Exchange (LSE:

CVERDEC1) since November 2000.

Cerro Verde's mining unit is basically a copper and molybdenum open pit mine. The productive process starts with the

exploration & exploitation of its mining deposits, up to the flotation, leaching, concentration, smelting and refining of

the mineral for its subsequent sale. The company is one of the country’s main copper producers.

The shareholding is composed by the following: Freeport – McMoran Copper & Gold (53.6%), SMM Cerro Verde

Netherlands B.V. (Compañia Minera Sumitomo Metal’s subsidiary) with 21%, Compañia de Minas Buenaventura

S.A.A. (19.6%) and the remaining 5.8% is distributed among minority shareholders.

Given the size of the operations of its main shareholder, we consider that it is important to locate Cerro Verde within

Freeport – McMoran’s structure:

Henderson -(100%) Colorado

Chino -(100%) N. Mexico

Tyrone -(100%) N. Mexico

Favorable points to the company

a) Construction of Bamputañe Dam

b) Drinking water and wastewater treatment plants

c) Tax stability

d) Sales stability

www.kallpasab.com 4

Cerro Verde is neither subject to the special mining tax nor subject to royalty payments because the comapny

signed a stability contract (active until December 2013). However, the current government created a special

mining tax directed to the companies that hold a tax stability contract. Given this, it is subject to the payment of

this special tax which fluctuates between 4% and 13% of the period’s operating income.

The company is committed to sell to Sumitomo Metal Mining Co. Ltd. 50% of its copper concentrate production

and 20% to Freeport McMoran Corp. Having assured 70% of its sales, the company focuses its efforts to

increase its production and to improve its operating efficiency.

Cerro Verde's mine is located 30 km from the city of

Arequipa at 2,770 meters above sea level. Its proved and

probable reserves are 30,200 million copper pounds and

710 million molybdenum pounds, in accordance to

information as of 2011. In addition, given its current installed

capacity, it is estimated a 90 years life of mine (LOM).

Sociedad Minera Cerro Verde operates the mining units

Cerro Verde 1, 2 and 3. These three units constitute the

copper production unit, named Cerro Cero. Currently, it

processes 120,000 TPD and the copper annual production

reaches 600 million pounds.

Update

Cerro Verde signed an agreement with a committee formed by civilians and by Arequipa’s authorities so that the

company totally finances the construction of a drinking water treatment plant and the partially construction of a

wastewater treatment plant. The first of these commitments has been fulfilled. In this way, the company aims to

ensure water resources that are needed for its operations even after its expansion project’s development.

In accordance with the agreement that Cerro Verde signed with Empresa de Generacion Electrica de Arequipa

S.A. (EGASA), Cerro Verde built Bamputañe Dam in the district of Santa Lucia (Puno). In return, the company

will have power at a fixed tariff until 2015. From an economic point of view, this gives Cerro Verde cost stability

and decreases its sensitivity to inflation costs . In addition, it strengthens its relationships with the community

and decreases the probability of social conflicts.

The expansion project aims to increase the annual production in 600 million copper pounds and 15 million

molybdenum pounds. With it, copper production will double in 2016. The investment related to this project totals

USD 4,400 million, an amount that had been reviewed twice due to higher infrastructure costs and wage

expenses. These resources will be used to build a concentrating plant and a leaching platform, additional to the

existing ones.

In December 2011, the company submitted the EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) to the Peruvian

government for its review and approval. To date, the Peruvian government has not yet declared in regard of this

matter.

ii)

i)

We value Cerro Verde using a Discounted Cash Flow to the Firm methodology @ 10.1%. Since we maintained the

company’s current equity structure (no debt), the cost of capital becomes the proper discount rate for the valuation. It

should be noted that the valuation’s analysis period covers 2012 to 2017 and that model incorporates results as of

closing of Q3 2012. From 2018, we assume a perpetual cash flow to the firm, without growth.

Cerro Verde, like every mining company, has a limited amount of reserves (90 years LOM at current production levels

and 30 years LOM post expansion project, considering proved & probable reserves). However, we assume a

perpetual flow since we believe that Cerro Verde will aim to expand its reserves inside and outside its current mining

unit.

The assumptions’ main changes regarding the previous update published in August 2011 are the following:

Decrease in copper prices.

Higher CAPEX for Cerro Verde’s expansion project.

The expansion project will operate at 100% in 2016.

Increase in cash cost and addition of a 2% annual inflation

-

Cerro Verde’s main target is copper production. It should be noted that the company produces silver and

molybdenun concentrates in a lower extent. Its production is basically divided into copper concentrates and

copper cathodes, which represented 92% of 2011’s sales. Our copper production estimations for 2012 – 2015

and after the expansion project reaches 100% of its production capacity, are the following:

Table N° 2: Copper production's estimated composition after

……………………the expansion project.

As it was previously mentioned, one of the main adjustments within our model is copper price’s performance. In

accordance with International Copper Study Group (ICSG), in 2012 the deficit for refined copper worldwide will

reach 426 thousand MT (2.1% of this year’s global demand). However, global production of refined copper is

expected to grow 6.0% in 2013 generating a 458 thousand TM surplus; in this way, pressures over copper price

are expected to decrease. In addition, the base metal price is currently responding to the uncertainty over the

debt crisis in Europe, to fears in USA in regard with the elimination of tax exemptions and the reduction of public

expenditure (Fiscal Cliff), and to China’s economic slowdown.

iv) Operating expenses

www.kallpasab.com 6

2012 2013e

Operating expenses have remained stable in regard with Cerro Verde’s sales, fluctuating between 3.3% and

3.4% of total sales. We have maintained the same performance for forecasted operating expenses along the

analysis period.

Price for copper concentrate

Table N° 3: Copper estimated price - USD/Lb.

3.7 3.7 3.5 3.4

Given this, and in line with Bloomberg’s consensus, we expect copper price variation for 2013 to be zero or

negative. As long as new mining units and expansions in processing plants worldwide progressively cover the

supply’s deficit, copper price will decrease and this is reflected in our model.Below is our estimated price vector:

On the other hand, copper future price’s performance is essential to calculate the company’s revenue. We

estimate that towards 2015, Cerro Verde’s copper revenue will represent approximately 93% of total sales. This

information is presented below:

iii)

Cerro Verde is characterized for maintaining a stable cost structure. In the last 4 years, its operating costs as a

percentage of sales have been maintained between 30% and 33%, reflecting that the mining industry’s inflation

has been controlled by the company. However, as of closing of 9M 2012, the operating costs represented 36.5%

of total sales due to the increase in services rendered by third parties. In other words, inflation cost has affected

the company’s result for this year.

On the other hand, due to the decrease in produced copper pounds, Cerro Verde’s cash cost , after credit for

silver and molybdenum concentrate sales, has increased from USD/Lb 0.77 in 2010 to USD/Lb 0.95 in 2011. In

addition, due to the increase in operating costs during this year and to maintain the annual copper production in

approximately 600,000 pounds, we anticipate that the cash cost will fluctuate around USD/Lb 1.05 – 1.15. In

addition, we have considered a 2% inflation cost in the operating costs for the next years, since we expect that

this effect will continue in the future.

Expansion project’s financing

www.kallpasab.com 7

We have considered two kinds of CAPEX in our valuation: a) Maintenance CAPEX and b) Expansion CAPEX.

vi)

Update

Maintenance CAPEX.- Considering that the company grows in an organic way, we have considered in

our model a maintenance CAPEX equivalent to 16.2% of copper production over the base of historic

information of the last 3 years (the ratio is defined as CAPEX in USD million / million of produced copper

pounds). In this way, the annual maintenance CAPEX will reach USD 98 million during the analysis

period.

Expansion CAPEX.- We consider the expansion project’s implementation in Cerro Verde’s mining unit.

This project includes a USD 4,400 million total investment (our previous estimation considered a USD

3,600 million investment) up to 2015. In this way, the company aims to double its copper production

(approximately 1,200 million copper pounds per year) and to increase its molybdenum production towards

2016.

We believe that Cerro Verde will finance its processing plant’s expansion with available cash and with the cash

flows that will be generated along the analysis period. However, given that the company’s resources will be

redirected to finance the project, we expect a decrease in the dividend payout ratio. Although we have not

considered in our model that the company will finance its expansion project with debt, it is possible that this

happens in a non – significant way in order to maintain its equity’s structure in the long – term (no debt).

Chart N° 13: Scenario Analysis

iv) Scenario without the expansion project – FV: USD 28.37

www.kallpasab.com 9

Under the optimist scenario we assume a 20% increase in the copper price vector during 2013 – 2018, which

affects positively the long – term price. This assumption emerges at a possible recovery in the global economy

and in the demand of the base metal. Therefore, we obtain a USD 50.50 fair value per share.

On the other hand, it is important to calculate the fair value in the event that the expansion project is cancelled.

This is an unlikely scenario given the good relationships that Cerro Verde holds with the inhabitants and the

authorities in the department of Arequipa. However, in the mining industry, the social risk is always a fact to

consider. Therefore, our fair value without the expansion project is USD 28.37 per share.

Base scenario - FV: US$ 37.00

In the base scenario we consider the implementation of the expansion of Cerro Verde’s processing plant,

starting up operations at 100% in 2016, which will double copper production. The model considers that the

mining unit’s expansion will be financed with its own resources (cash and cash equivalents plus generated cash

flows). In addition, long – term copper price is USD/Lb 3.02. Therefore, we obtain a USD 37.00 fair value per

share.

In the following analysis, we sensitize our fair value to changes in the assumptions, in accordance to the following

scenarios:

Scenario analysis

Pessimistic scenario – FV: USD 23.50

Update

Under this pessimist scenario, we assume a 20% fall in the copper price vector during 2013 – 2018, which

negatively affects long – term price. This happens under a weakening scenario in the American economy (non –

favorable decision in regard with the Fiscal Cliff), and in China (GDP decrease due to the European debt crisis),

which are the main consumers of the red metal. Therefore, our fair value per share decreases to USD 23.50.
