International, S.A. de C.V. ("GMMI"), Americas Mining Corporation ("AMC") and
SPHC II Incorporated ("SPHC II") (collectively, Grupo Mexico, GMMI, AMC and
SPHC II, the "Reporting Persons") hereby amend the report on Schedule 13D
regarding shares of Southern Peru Copper Corporation (the "Company"),
originally filed on January 12, 1996, as further amended on March 6, 1996, on
November 19, 1999, on October 13, 2000, on May 17, 2001, on July 16, 2001, on
February 11, 2003 and on April 2, 2003 (collectively with this Amendment No.
8, the "Schedule 13D"). Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used but
not defined herein shall have the same meanings assigned to them in Schedule

Item 1. Security and Issuer.
This Schedule 13D relates to Common Stock of the Company, $0.01
par value per share ("Common Stock"), and Class A Common Stock of the Company,
$0.01 par value per share ("Class A Common Stock", together with the Common
Stock, the "Common Shares").
Item 2. Identity and Background.
Item 2 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the
following:
Annex I hereto sets forth the name, business address, present
principal occupation or employment and citizenship of each director and
executive officer of Grupo Mexico. The information set forth in Annex I hereto
is incorporated herein by reference.
Annex II hereto sets forth the name, business address, present
principal occupation or employment and citizenship of each director and
executive officer of GMMI. The information set forth in Annex II hereto is
incorporated herein by reference.

During the past five years, the Reporting Persons have not, and,

been (a) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or
similar misdemeanors) or (b) a party to any civil proceeding of a judicial or

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:
On February 3, 2004, GMEXICO, the largest stockholder of the Company,
presented a proposal regarding the possible sale to the Company of all the
shares of GMEXICO's subsidiary, Minera Mexico, S.A. de C.V. ("MM"),
representing 99% of MM outstanding shares, in return for the issuance to it of
additional shares of the Company.
The Reporting Persons understand that the Company has formed a
Special Committee of Disinterested Directors, comprised of members of its
Board to evaluate whether the proposal is in the best interests of the
stockholders of the Company. There can be no assurances as to whether any
agreement will be reached with regard
CUSIP No. 843611104 Page 8 of 16 Pages
to such transaction. Consequently the Reporting Persons made this proposal
reserving the right to change their intentions and plans at any time with
regard to such transaction.
The Reporting Persons may also from time to time acquire, purchase or
sell shares of Common Stock in the open market, in privately negotiated
transactions or otherwise, hold such shares or propose changes in the
membership of the Board of Directors, propose asset transfers involving the
Company or engage in other business transactions involving the Company, as the
Reporting Persons may determine at any such time based upon their evaluations
of the Company's businesses and prospects and other factors deemed relevant.
Except as set forth in this Item 4 and in furtherance of the proposed
transaction, the Reporting Persons presently have no plans or proposal that
would result in any of the actions set forth in subparagraphs (a) through (j)
of Item 4 of Schedule 13 D.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Item 5 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the
following:
The following table sets forth all purchases with respect to the
Common Stock effected during the past sixty (60) days by the Reporting
Persons. Each transaction set forth below represents a sale in the open
market.
