                              --------------------

To the Plan Administrator of the Savings Plan of Southern Peru Copper
Corporation and Participating Subsidiaries:

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits
of the Savings Plan of Southern Peru Copper Corporation and Participating
Subsidiaries (the "Plan") as of December 31, 1999, and the related statement of
changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then ended. These
financial statements and the schedules referred to below are the responsibility
of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and schedules based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 1999, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of Assets Held for
Investment Purposes and Reportable Transactions are presented for purposes of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedules have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                               -------------------


To the Participants and Administrative Committee of the Savings Plan of Southern
Peru Copper Corporation and Participating Subsidiaries


In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits, with fund information and the related statements of changes in net
assets available for benefits, with fund information present fairly, in all
material respects, the net assets available for benefits of Savings Plan of
Southern Peru Copper Corporation and Participating Subsidiaries (the "Plan") at
December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 and the changes in net assets available
for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the seven months ended
December 31, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of Assets Held
for Investment Purposes and Reportable Transactions are presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The fund information in the
statements of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in
net assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional
analysis rather than to present the net assets available for plan benefits and
changes in net assets available for benefits of each fund. These supplemental
schedules and fund information are the responsibility of the Plan's management.
The supplemental schedules and fund information have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and,
in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                         AND PARTICIPATING SUBSIDIARIES


           NOTES TO THE DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   PLAN DESCRIPTION

     The following description of the Savings Plan of Southern Peru Copper
     Corporation and Participating Subsidiaries (the "Plan") provides only
     general information. Reference should be made to the Plan document for a
     complete description of the Plan and Plan amendments, including eligibility
     requirements and vesting provisions.

     General:

     Effective June 1, 1985, Southern Peru Copper Corporation (the "Company")
     established the Plan, which has been amended thereafter. The Plan is a
     defined contribution plan and is administered by the Administrative
     Committee in accordance with authority delegated by the Board of Directors.
     The Plan is designed to provide a method of savings by eligible employees
     for their retirement and other needs.

     On May 9, 2000 the Board of Directors approved the termination of the Plan,
     and the taking of any action, including amending the Plan and giving notice
     to participants, to implement the termination.

     Contributions:

     An employee becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, after the
     completion of 30 days service. Each eligible employee wishing to
     participate in the Plan must elect to authorize pre-tax and/or post-tax
     contributions (the "contributions") by payroll deduction. Contributions are
     stated in whole percentages of 1% to 12% of the participant's earnings, as
     defined, or a specified dollar amount. A participant may elect to increase,
     decrease or suspend the contributions on the first day of any month. The
     Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), as amended, limited the maximum
     amount an employee may contribute on a pre-tax basis to 10,000 in 1999 and
     1998.

     Participants are 100% vested in their contributions and earnings therein.

     Matching Company Contribution - Effective January 1, 1998, the Company
     matches the first 6% of a participant's monthly contribution at a rate of
     50%. The matching contribution may be made in cash or Company common stock.
     Company contributions for the year ended December 31, 1999 consisted of
     cash in the amount of $174,081.

     The Company is not obligated to make a contribution during any period in
     which it has no accumulated retained earnings. The Company's contributions
     are subject to all legal restrictions, which may apply, including Sections
     401 and 415 of the Code, which limit the annual contributions to an
     employee's account.

     Loans:

     The Plan provides for loans to participants who have participated in the
     Plan for at least one year, subject to certain limitations. The maximum
     loan allowed to each participant is limited to the lesser of 50% of the
     total value of the participant's account, or $50,000 reduced by the highest
     outstanding plan loan balance to such participant during the prior
     twelve-month period ending on the day before the date the loan is made.

                         AND PARTICIPATING SUBSIDIARIES


                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

     A participant's loan is repayable within a maximum of five years or
     immediately upon termination of employment, if sooner. Interest is
     currently accrued at the prime rate, which was in existence on the first
     day of the month in which the loan was issued. Loans are collateralized by
     a lien on the participant's interest in the Plan. Loan repayments are made
     through payroll withholdings from the participant's earnings. A participant
     may pre-pay a loan at any time without penalty.

     2.  SIGNIFICANT PLAN AMENDMENTS

     On May 1, 1997, the Plan was amended, effective January 1, 1998, to appoint
     the Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company (Vanguard) as the Trustee, Investment
     Manager and Recordkeeper of the Plan, modify the Plan year end to be
     December 31, permit employees to contribute on an after-tax basis, include
     non-U.S. expatriates as eligible employees, require the Company matching
     contribution to be invested in a Southern Peru Copper Corporation Common
     Stock Fund which was created and change the definition of compensation used
     for purposes of contributions to include only base salary.

     On November 4, 1997, the Plan was further amended, effective January 1,
     1998, to change the eligibility waiting period from six months of service
     to 30 days of service and permit plan entry on the first day of any month,
     permit only one loan at a time, include a one year participation
     eligibility requirement for purposes of initiating a loan, provide for the
     transferability of the Company matching contributions for participants who
     attain age 64, remove existing hardship withdrawals subject to certain
     suspension penalties, revise the distribution provisions to grandfather the
     Joint and Survivor Annuity Option and frequency of installment payments for
     participants with account balances as of December 31, 1997, require the
     immediate distribution of account balances under $5,000, permit
     participants with account balances in excess of $5,000 to elect a
     distribution at any time prior to age 65, and provide for the payment of
     administrative expenses by the Company with the exception of expenses
     pertaining to loan administration, which shall be charged to participants
     with outstanding loan balances. The Plan was also amended to be in
     accordance with the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996.

     Effective January 1, 1998, the Plan name was amended from the Southern Peru
     Copper Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan to the Savings Plan of Southern Peru
     Copper Corporation and Participating Subsidiaries.

     On May 9, 2000 the Board of Directors approved the termination of the Plan,
     and the taking of any action, including amending the Plan and giving notice
     to participants, to implement the termination.

     3.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Investment Valuation:

     The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Units of registered
     investment companies are valued at quoted market prices which represent the
     net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. The Southern Peru
     Common Stock Fund is valued at its year-end closing price (comprised of
     year-end market price plus uninvested cash position). Participant loans are
     valued at cost which approximates fair value.

     Basis of Accounting:

     The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method
     of accounting.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

     Investment Transactions and Investment Income:

     Transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Average cost is the
     basis used in the determination of gains or losses on sales of securities.
     Dividend income is recorded at the ex-dividend (stockholder date of record)
     date. Interest income from participant loans is recorded as earned.

     Net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of the Plan's
     investments, as shown in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available
     for Benefits, consists of realized gains (losses) and unrealized
     appreciation (depreciation) on those investments.

     Payment of Benefits:

     Benefits are recorded when paid.

     Plan Expenses:

     The Company pays all administrative expenses of the Plan. The Company also
     pays the fees of consultants, auditors and counsel, and transfer taxes on
     shares of Southern Peru Copper Corporation Common Stock distributed to Plan
     participants or their beneficiaries, with the exception of loan
     administrative fees, which are charged to participants. Investment fees
     related to Vanguard funds and all other taxes, brokerage commissions and
     any other expenses directly relating to the investment of the Trust Fund
     are paid from assets of the plan.

     Use of Estimates:

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
     disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the
     financial statements and the reported amounts of investment income and
     deductions during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
     those estimates.

     Risks and Uncertainties:

     The plan provides for investment options in various mutual funds.
     Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate,
     market and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with certain
     investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in
     the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that
     changes in risks in near term would materially affect participants' account
     balances and the amounts reported in the Statement of Net Assets Available
     for Benefits and the participants are advised to read a Vanguard prospectus
     or the Plan's summary plan description before investing in any fund.

     4.  INVESTMENT FUNDS

     Effective January 1, 1998 Vanguard is the investment manager and
     participant recordkeeper for all investment funds of the Plan. Vanguard is
     also the trustee of all of the funds.

     Upon enrollment in the Plan throughout 1998, participants directed their
     elected contributions to be invested in one or more of the following funds
     in multiples of 5%:

         o        Vanguard Index Trust 500 Portfolio - A fund invested in all of
                  the stocks included in the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite
                  Index (the "Index") in approximately the same proportions as
                  they are represented in the Index. At December 31, 1999, the
                  number of Plan participants who held an interest in this fund
                  was 68.

         o        Vanguard Money Market Reserve Prime Portfolio - A fund
                  invested in a portfolio of high quality money market
                  instruments with maturities of one year or less. At December
                  31, 1999 the number of Plan participants who held an interest
                  in this fund was 14.

         o        Vanguard Short Term U.S. Treasury Bond Portfolio - A fund
                  invested primarily in short-term U.S. Treasury securities with
                  an average maturity of two to three years. At December 31,
                  1999, the number of Plan participants who held an interest in
                  this fund was 6.

         o        Vanguard Wellington Fund - A fund invested in bonds and common
                  stocks. The bonds are held for relative stability of income
                  and principal, while the common stocks are held for potential
                  growth of capital and income. At December 31, 1999 the number
                  of Plan participants who held an interest in this fund was 45.

         o        Vanguard Index Extended Market Fund - A fund which provides
                  investment results that correspond to the aggregate price and
                  yield performance of the Wilshire 4500 Index. The Wilshire
                  4500 Index consists of over 4,500 U.S. common stocks
                  (primarily medium and small capitalization stocks) that are
                  not included in the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock
                  Price Index. At December 31, 1999, the number of Plan
                  participants who held an interest in this fund was 29.

         o        Vanguard U.S. Growth Fund - A fund invested primarily in a
                  diversified portfolio of common stocks with above-average
                  growth potential. At December 31, 1999, the number of Plan
                  participants who held an interest in this fund was 62.

         o        Vanguard Windsor II fund - A fund invested in common stocks to
                  provide capital appreciation and dividend income. At December
                  31, 1999, the number of Plan participants who held an interest

                  December 31, 1999, the number of Plan participants who held an
                  interest in this fund was 17.

         o        Vanguard International Growth Fund - The fund invests in
                  stocks of high-quality, seasoned companies based outside the
                  United States. It includes stocks with records of exceptional
                  growth from more than 15 countries (including Japan, the

5.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The Plan invests in shares of mutual funds managed by an affiliate of
     Vanguard. Vanguard acts as trustee for only those investments as defined by
     the Plan. Transactions in such investments qualify as party-in-interest
     transactions, which are exempt from the prohibited transaction rules.

6.  TAX STATUS

     The Plan, as amended through August 13, 1990, received a favorable
     determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") that it is a
     qualified plan and trust under Section 401(a) of the Code and, thus, exempt
     from federal income taxes under provisions of Section 501(a) of the Code.
     The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter.
     However, the Plan administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the
     Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the
     applicable requirements of the code.

7.  TERMINATION PRIORITIES

     On May 9, 2000 the Board of Directors of Southern Peru Copper Corporation
     approved the termination of the Plan. In the event of termination or
     partial termination of the Plan, participants will receive the fair value
     of their account as of the date of such termination or partial termination.
