Friday, May 17, 3:22 PM Gold miners (GDX -3.2%) take another beating as gold continues to lose its allure amid disclosures of reduced bets by hedge funds, a World Gold Council report showing gold demand at a three-year low, and a surging dollar. For the miners, it's an ugly world of lower production, higher costs and falling prices. At least nine miners hit 52-week lows: NEM -3%, GG -2.7%, AUY -4.8%, HMY -6.3%, AU -2.5%, BVN -1.1%, ANV -7.4%, NG -2.7%, GSS -5.8%. 18 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
Tuesday, April 30, 2:04 PM Q1 results spelled out a worst-case scenario for Compañia de Mina Buenaventura (BVN -6.9%): earnings came up short, production fell, and costs didn’t drop nearly enough. Credit Suisse cuts BVN to Neutral from Outperform, finding “no positives in sight" for shares other than rising gold prices - and even that wouldn’t provide as much of a boost as its peers. Comment!

Thursday, April 25, 6:01 PM Peru's Compania de Minas Buenaventura (BVN) CEO Roque Benavides says plans for the $5B Minas Conga copper and gold project being developed with Newmont Mining (NEM) could be further complicated due to lower mineral prices. The CEO also says BVN has been studying ways to cut costs at its Uchucchacua silver mine and Orcopampa gold mine. Comment! [Commodities, Global & FX]
Friday, April 19, 4:58 PM Gold miners soon will release quarterly earnings, but J.P. Morgan says investors should focus on what the companies are doing to cut costs. Barrick Gold (ABX) would be profitable even if gold falls to $1,300/oz., the firm says, but remains vulnerable due to cash needed to operate the Pascua Lama mine and massive debt on its balance sheet. Goldcorp (GG) has a strong balance sheet and $2B in an undrawn revolver. 7 Comments [Commodities]

Monday, February 11, 3:44 PM Compañía de Minas Buenaventura's (BVN -4.4%) loss looks big even on a day when gold mining stocks are hit hard. It isn't just the drop in BVN’s stock price - its price swings also are getting wider, as its 30-day historical volatility has jumped 46% since Jan. 18 to 28%. BVN has dropped 21% YTD, far more than Newmont Mining (NEM), its partner in Peru, and the gold miners ETF (GDX). Comment! [Commodities, On the Move]

Friday, October 19, 2012, 4:58 PM Peru's biggest miners are expected to post strong Q3 earnings, but those results could be negatively affected by lower prices for their products and higher costs.

Lower net earnings also are expected at Buenaventura (BVN). 1 Comment [Commodities, Global & FX]

Sunday, December 11, 2011, 9:02 AM The door is opened for an even harder line against those protesting a $4.8B gold and copper mine to be opened by Newmont (NEM) and Buenaventura (BVN) in Peru after Salomon Lerner - arguably the 2nd most powerful man in government - resigns. President Humala - who would have sided with the protesters a few years back - this week ordered the military to step in against the demonstrators. 3 Comments [Global & FX, Commodities]
Wednesday, September 7, 2011, 2:59 PM Workers at a Peruvian mine where Freeport-McMoRan (FCX +2.2%) owns a controlling stake have begun a 2-day strike, and are threatening to strike indefinitely on Sep. 14 if demands for higher wages aren't met.
