Notes to the Financial Statements 
The financial information for the year ended 31 December 2008 and 2007 contained 
in this document does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 
240 of the Companies Act 1985. The financial information for the years ended 31 
December 2008 and 2007 have been extracted from the consolidated financial 
statements of Hochschild Mining plc for the year ended 31 December 2008 which 
have been approved by the directors on 24 March 2009 and will be delivered to 
the Registrar of Companies in due course. The auditor's report on those 
financial statements was unqualified and did not contain a statement under 
section 237 of the Companies Act 1985. 
1      Significant accounting policies 
(a) Basis of preparation 
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial information 
are consistent with those applied to the year ended 31 December 2007 except for 
the adoption of new and amended standards. 
        Adoption of new and amended standards 
The Group has adopted the following new and amended IFRS and IFRIC 
interpretations during the year. Adoption of these revised standards and 
interpretations did not have any effect on the financial performance or position 
of the Group. 
· ?IFRIC 11, IFRS 2 'Group and Treasury Shares Transactions', applicable for 
annual periods beginning on or after 1 March 2007. 
· ?IFRIC 14, IAS 19, 'The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding 
Requirements and their interaction', applicable for annual periods beginning on 
or after 1 January 2008. 
· ?Amendment to IAS 39 and IFRS 7 'Reclassification of Financial Assets'. 
 
   (b)      Exceptional items 
Exceptional items are those significant items which due to their nature or the 
expected infrequency of the events giving rise to them, need to be disclosed 
separately on the face of the income statement to enable a better understanding 
of the financial performance of the Group and facilitate comparison with prior 
years. Exceptional items mainly include: 
· Impairments of assets, including goodwill, assets held for sale, and property, 
plant and equipment; 
· Gains or losses arising on the disposal of subsidiaries, investments or 
property, plant and equipment; 
· Fair value gains or losses arising on financial instruments not held in the 
normal course of trading; 
· ?Any gain or loss resulting from any restructuring within the Group, and 
· ?The related tax impacts of these items. 
 
    (c)     Comparatives 
 
Where applicable, certain comparatives have been reclassified to present them in 
a comparable manner to the current period's figures. 
 
 2       Segment Reporting 
 
The Group's activities are principally related to mining operations which 
involve the exploration, production and sale of gold and silver. Products are 
subject to the same risks and returns and are sold through the same distribution 
channels. The Group has a number of activities that exist solely to support 
mining operations including power generation and services. As such, the Group 
has only one business segment as its primary reporting segment. The Group 
operates in various countries including Peru, Argentina, Mexico, Chile and 
Canada. Therefore, the geographical segment is the Group's secondary reporting 
format. 
Transfer prices between geographical segments are set on an arm´s length basis 
in a manner similar to that used for third parties. Segment revenue, segment 
expense and segment results include transfers between business segments. Those 
transfers are eliminated in consolidation. 
 
(a)    Revenue 
 
Revenue for the year is allocated based on the country in which the customer is 
located.
