ITEM
8.01 OTHER EVENTS
On
February 16, 2010, Southern Copper Corporation, or SCC, issued a press release
announcing that, on February 11, 2010, a Mexican Federal Labor court ruled that
the damages caused to the Cananea mine by the neglect and sabotage of striking
workers since the commencement of labor stoppages and strikes in July 2007
resulted in force majeure providing legal basis for the termination of
individual and unionized employees by SCC's subsidiary, Mexicana de Cananea,
S.A. de C.V. SCC further announced that it expects due compliance of
the referred ruling by the relevant federal and state authorities and looks
forward to recovering control of the Cananea mine.
