#### EXPLANATORY NOTE
Southern Copper Corporation (the "Registrant") is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 to the Registration Statement on Form S-8, File No. 333-150982, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on May 16, 2008 (the "Original Registration Statement"), for the sole purpose of disclosing the three-year extension of the Directors' Stock Award Plan ("Plan") to January 27, 2031 and the increase in the number of shares to be awarded to each non-employee director of 200 shares contingent upon such director's attendance at all Board meetings. In accordance with the requirements of Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") we registered 128,000 shares of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Southern Copper Corporation (the "Company," "SCC," "we," "us" or "our") to be issued under the Plan, a stockholder approved plan. The Original Registration Statement also covered any additional shares of common stock which became issuable under the Plan registered pursuant to the Original Registration Statement by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or any other similar transaction effected without the receipt of consideration which resulted in an increase in the number of the Registrant's outstanding shares of common stock. The Plan previously provided that directors who are not compensated as employees of the Company will be automatically awarded 1,200 shares of common stock upon election and 1,200 additional shares following each annual meeting of stockholders thereafter. The Plan originally expired by its terms on January 31, 2016. On January 28, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company ("Board") approved, subject to stockholder approval, a one-year extension of the Plan. On January 26, 2017, the Board approved another one-year extension of the Plan, subject to stockholder approval. Such Plan extensions were approved at the Annual Meetings of Stockholders of 2016 and 2017, respectively. On January 25, 2018, the Board approved a further extension of the Plan for five years and an amendment to the Plan to increase the number of shares to be granted to non-employee directors from 1,200 to 1,600. At the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders the amendments to increase the award amount from 1,200 to 1,600 and the five-year extension of the Plan until January 28, 2023, were approved. On April 22, 2021, the Board amended the Directors' compensation, so that commencing with the second quarter 2021, eligible directors are granted 400 Shares quarterly, conditioned upon the attendance of such directors at each quarterly Board meeting. On January 27, 2022, the Board of Directors approved, subject to stockholder approval, a further five-year extension of the Plan. At the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held May 27, 2022, the stockholders approved a five-year extension of the Plan until January 27, 2028. On March 6, 2025 the Board approved a further extension of the Plan for three years and an amendment granting 200 Shares to each eligible director, contingent upon attendance of such director at all quarterly Board meetings. At the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held May 23, 2025, the stockholders approved a three-year extension of the Plan until January 27, 2031 and the amendment to provide 200 shares to the eligible directors annually, contingent upon their attendance at all Board meetings. As of August 4, 2025, 454,000 shares had been awarded under the Plan, leaving 146,000 shares available for use after that date.

#### Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.

#### Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.

#### Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL, enables a corporation in its certificate of incorporation or an amendment thereto, to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for violation of the director's fiduciary duty, except (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL (providing for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions) or (iv) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, provides for such limitations on liability for its directors to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

------

Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of being or having been in any such capacity, if he acted in good faith in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action, or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, except that with respect to an action brought by or in the right of the corporation, such indemnification is limited to expenses (including attorneys fees) and court approval is required before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. Section 145 of the DGCL provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation's charter, by-laws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our by-laws, as amended, provide that the Company must indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law and as provided in our by-laws.

Our by-laws provide indemnification rights to any of our officers or directors who, by reason of the fact that he or she is one of our officers or directors, is involved in a legal proceeding of any nature if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. Such indemnification rights will include reimbursement for expenses incurred by such officer or director in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding in accordance with the applicable provisions of Delaware law. Our by-laws provide that we may arrange for insurance covering such liabilities and expenses arising from actions or omissions of a director or officer in his or her capacity as a corporate agent as is obtainable and is reasonable and appropriate in cost and amount. The Company currently maintains liability insurance for its directors and officers.

#### Item 9. Undertakings .
The Company hereby undertakes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)to include any prospectus required by Section (10)(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement; *provided*, *however*, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Company's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Approved by the Stockholders at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.** **Purpose** 

The purposes of the Directors' Stock Award Plan (the "Plan") are (a) to attract and retain highly qualified individuals to serve as members of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Southern Copper Corporation (the "Company"), (b) to increase the stock ownership in the Company of members of the Board who are not compensated as employees and (c) to relate the compensation of members of the Board who are not compensated as employees more closely to the Company's performance and its shareholders' interest by granting such directors shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the "Shares").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.** **Administration** 

The Plan shall be administered by the Board. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board shall be authorized to interpret the Plan, to establish, amend, and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Plan and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan; provided, however, that the Board shall have no discretion with respect to the selection of directors to receive awards of Shares or the number of Shares to be awarded. The determinations of the Board in the administration of the Plan, as described herein, shall be final and conclusive. The Secretary of the Company shall be authorized to implement the Plan in accordance with its terms and to take such actions of a ministerial nature as shall be necessary to effectuate the intent and purposes thereof. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.** **Eligibility** 

The class of individuals eligible to receive awards of Shares under the Plan shall be directors of the Company who are not compensated as employees of the Company ("Eligible Directors"). Any recipient of an award granted hereunder shall hereinafter be referred to as a "Participant".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.** **Shares Subject to the Plan** 

Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 6, an aggregate of 146,000 Shares shall be available for awards under the Plan. The Shares may be made available from authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. If any stock awards under the Plan shall be foregone or returned to the Company for any reason, the Shares subject to such award shall again be available for awards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.** **Grant, Stock Awards** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Upon first election to the Board after September 1, 1995, each newly elected Eligible Director will be granted 1,600 Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Eligible Directors will be entitled to receive a total of 1,600 Shares annually, paid 400 shares per quarter, conditioned upon the attendance by each Director to each quarterly Board meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) An Eligible Director may forego any grant of Shares by giving irrevocable written notice to such effect to the Secretary of the Company six months in advance of such grant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) An Eligible Director will be entitled to receive an additional 200 Shares at the end of each year, contingent upon their attendance at all Board meetings for that year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.** **Adjustment of and Changes in Shares** 

In the event of a stock split, stock dividend, extraordinary dividend, subdivision or combination of the Shares or other change in corporate structure affecting the Shares, the number of Shares authorized by the Plan and the number of Shares to be granted under Section 5 shall be appropriately and equitably adjusted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.** **Withholding of Taxes and Other Laws** 

The Company shall be authorized to withhold from any payment due under this Plan the amount of withholding taxes, if any, due in respect of an award hereunder, unless other provisions satisfactory to the Company shall have been made for the payment of such taxes.

The Board may refuse to issue or transfer any Shares if, acting in its sole discretion, it determines that the issuance or transfer of such Shares might violate any applicable law or regulation or entitle the Company to recover the same under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no award granted hereunder shall be construed as an offer to sell securities of the Company, and no such offer shall be outstanding, unless and until the Board in its sole discretion has determined that any such offer, if made, would be in compliance with all applicable requirements of the U.S. federal securities laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.** **Effective Date and Duration of Plan** 

The Plan became effective on January 1, 1996 on the effective date of the exchange of the Company's Shares for certain labor shares of the Peruvian Branch of Southern Peru Limited (the "Exchange Offer"), subject to the completion of such Exchange Offer. The Plan was extended subject to stockholder approval until January 31, 2016. The Plan was then extended until January 30, 2017. The Plan was further amended to terminate on January 29, 2018. The Plan was further amended to terminate on January 28, 2023. The Plan was further amended to terminate on January 27, 2028. The Plan was further amended to terminate on January 27, 2031, unless the Plan is extended or terminated at an earlier date by Shareholders or is terminated by exhaustion of the Shares available for issuance hereunder.
