Legal and Compliance Risks - Legal proceedings against SUNAT could have a material adverse effect on the company's business, with ongoing appeals in Peruvian courts[85]. - The company is subject to evolving anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws in Peru, which may not be as stringent as those in other jurisdictions, necessitating ongoing compliance efforts[110].

Geotechnical and Environmental Risks - Geotechnical challenges could adversely impact production and profitability, with potential risks from severe weather and hydrological conditions[91]. - The company owns 15 tailings dams, including 1 under construction, 5 active, and 9 inactive, which could present stability risks, especially related to liquefaction[104]. - The company maintains strict operational controls on critical components to mitigate risks associated with tailings dam failures, which could lead to severe damages and loss of life[106]. Cybersecurity Risks - Cyber incidents, including deliberate attacks, have been increasing, posing risks to the company's information technology systems and potentially disrupting operations[107]. - A cyber-attack could cause temporary interruptions in production and expose the company to liabilities if sensitive personal information is compromised[108].
