Summary
Southern Copper Corporation (SCCO) filed an 8-K on February 1, 2017, primarily to report its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2016, through a press release. While the filing doesn't provide detailed financial figures within the 8-K itself, it directs investors to an attached press release (Exhibit 99.1) for comprehensive earnings information. This format is typical for companies announcing earnings and using Item 2.02 to furnish this information rather than officially 'filing' it under Section 18 of the Securities Act of 1934.
