Production at Nexa Resources SA's Atacocha San Gerardo open pit mine has been temporarily suspended due to an illegal road blockade by the Joraoniyoc community as part of ongoing protest activities. Although there has been no material impact on Atacocha’s production to date, mine operations are currently limited to critical maintenance with a minimum workforce. Nexa Resources is actively engaging in dialogue with the community and authorities to resolve the situation peacefully and remains committed to supporting the social development of its host communities. Atacocha represents less than 3% of Nexa’s zinc production. The company will provide updates as the situation develops.
