Where can I find the specific financial results for Southern Copper Corporation for the first quarter of 2009?

The 8-K filing from April 27, 2009, states that the financial results were announced in a press release issued on April 23, 2009. You should refer to Exhibit 99.1 of this 8-K filing, which is the press release itself, for the detailed financial and operational data for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

What is the significance of the statement that the information is 'furnished' and not 'filed'?

When information is 'furnished' under Item 2.02 of an 8-K, it means the company is providing the information to the public and the SEC, but it does not carry the same legal liability as information that is formally 'filed' with the SEC. Specifically, it is not subject to liability under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. However, it is still an important disclosure of material information to investors.

Does this 8-K filing contain any new operational or strategic updates?

The detailed operational and strategic information, if any, would be contained within the press release itself (Exhibit 99.1) that is attached to this filing. Investors should review that press release for any such updates.
