Chief executive’s pay
| Year | Total pay | Actually paid | $100 invested |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 1.30m | 1.30m | 64.80 |
| 2024 | 1.21m | 1.21m | 11.20 |

| 2021 | 1.46m | 1.46m | (0.30) |
Total pay is as the Summary Compensation Table states it; actually paid revalues the year’s share awards
at its end, as the SEC’s pay-versus-performance rule asks. $100 invested is what $100 in the company’s
shares at the start of the earliest year shown was worth at each year’s end.

Southern Copper Corporation mines, processes and sells copper, along with molybdenum, zinc, silver and other metals. Its mining, smelting and refining facilities are in Peru and Mexico. It also explores for minerals in those countries, Argentina and Chile. The company was incorporated in Delaware in 1952, and Oscar Gonzalez Rocha is its president and chief executive officer.
The company operates across several stages of copper production. It mines ore, concentrates it and, at some facilities, smelts and refines it into copper cathodes. It also produces refined copper using a process called solvent extraction and electrowinning, or SX-EW. In Mexico, its facilities include a plant that makes copper rod. Its precious metals plants recover silver and gold, while other operations produce zinc and lead.
