Nexa Resources S.A. Informs About the Truck Drivers’ Strike
Nexa Resources S.A. (NYSE:NEXA) (TSX:NEXA) (“Nexa Resources” or the “Company”) informs that the Company has taken all necessary and adequate measures to mitigate the impact of the truck drivers´ strike currently taking place in Brazil.
Given our contingent measures, production at Vazante and Morro Agudo mines has not being affected so far. Metal production at our Juiz de Fora smelter continues at this moment while Três Marias smelter production is being partially affected given interruptions on supply of zinc concentrate and other critical materials.
Our efforts are focused on mitigating impacts on production levels on both mining and metals segments and resuming normalized levels of production and shipments as soon as the situation is normalized.
