LIMA, March 27 (Reuters) - Peru's Buenaventura , one of the country's largest miners of precious metals, on Wednesday said it added two executives from Chile's Antofagasta to its board of directors following a partnership that began late last year.

The new members are Ivan Arriagada, Antofagasta's chief executive, and Andronico Luksic, Antofagasta's vice president of development, Buenaventura said in a statement.

They will join another seven members on Buenaventura's board of directors.

Antofagasta acquired a 19% stake of Buenaventura in December. (Reporting by Marco Aquino; Writing by Daina Beth Solomon; Editing by Kylie Madry)
