Summary
Summary of the 10-K/A filed April 15, 2004. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Southern Peru Copper Corporation (now Southern Copper Corp.) is filing an amendment (10-K/A) to its 2003 Annual Report.
This amendment is specifically to correct a typographical error in Exhibit 23.2, which is the consent of their independent auditor, Deloitte & Touche LLP. The original filing incorrectly stated the consent covered the financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2003, when another accounting firm's consent was actually relevant for that period. The corrected consent is being filed with this amendment.
For investors, this filing primarily addresses a procedural correction and does not introduce new financial or operational performance data for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. The core financial performance and business operations would be detailed in the original 10-K filing. Investors should review the original 10-K for substantive analysis of the company's financial health, copper production, and market position.
