Tambomayo's gold and silver productions were below the company's quarterly expectations. The Orcopampa mine's gold and Uchucchacua silver production also missed the company's guidance. Meanwhile, silver production at the El Brocal and Yumpag mines exceeded BVN's expectations. Let us dig deeper. Buenaventura's Mine Performances in Q2 In second-quarter 2025, gold production at Orcopampa was 12,270 ounces, down 30.2% from the year-ago quarter. BVN sold 12,158 ounces of gold from the mine in the quarter. BVN expects 2025 production of 48,000-52,000 ounces of gold for the mine. El Brocal produced 13,079 MT of copper, which marked a 1% year-over-year decrease. The 2025 copper production guidance is unchanged at 55,000-60,000 MT.

Kerala ‘pada pooja' row: Governor says part of culture
After CPIM-led Kerala government took a strong objection to 'pada pooja' (foot-washing ceremony) held at various CBSE-affiliated schools run by Bharatheeya Vidyanikethan (BVN), Governor Rajendra Arlekar said 'guru pooja is part of our culture'. On Thursday marking the Guru Purnima (Vyasa Jayanti) celebrations, schools run by Sangh Parivar-backed trusts conducted 'pada pooja', in which students were asked to wash the feet of the teachers and offer flowers at their feet. The visuals of students washing the feet of teachers led to protests in the state. General Education Minister V Sivankutty directed the Director General of Education to probe the incident. Sivankutty said the 'pada pooja' was against democratic values.

Step inside one of the nation's most extraordinary new homes
As Cyclone Alfred lashed the coast of Byron Bay earlier this year, the inhabitants of the recently completed 'Lighthouse' residence marvelled calmly at the spectacle of Mother Nature in full cry. It was not just the fact that the house they'd commissioned from Brisbane's BVN architects is built like a fortress and able to resist the onslaught of a tropical storm; it was also that, being totally open to the north and surrounded by native forest, it offers an immersion in the elements. 'It was awesome,' recalls the owner, who requested to remain anonymous. He moved here with his wife and four children from Brisbane last winter. 'Tall trees were bent over and whipping about, but not only did we feel incredibly secure, we felt like this was an unparalleled experience of nature.'
