Nexa Resources reports its second quarter 2022 drilling and assay results, indicating a strong focus on near-mine expansion and infill drilling. Cumulative drilling production reached 132,302 meters, with 34,434 meters from exploratory drilling. Significant results include intersections at Cerro Lindo and the Pasco complex, with notable grades of zinc, lead, silver, and gold. Future exploratory drilling plans total 24,900 meters, distributed across Peru, Brazil, and Namibia. Overall, Nexa aims to expand its mineral resources while enhancing life-of-mine in its operations.
Nexa Resources has commenced ramp-up activities at its Aripuanã polymetallic mine in Brazil, part of a project noted for its sustainable practices. The mine is projected to reach a milling capacity of 30-40% by 3Q22 and achieve full production by 2Q23. 2022 production estimates remain at 14-23kt zinc, with a long-term output of 70kt zinc annually over an 11-year mine life. Additionally, exploration efforts continue to enhance mineral resources, particularly in the Ambrex zone, with promising assay results indicating high-grade mineralization.
Nexa Resources announces that Mr. Rodrigo Menck will step down as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) effective July 6, 2022. Menck has been with Nexa since 2016, contributing significantly to its capital structure and involvement in the company’s IPO. Claudia Torres, with over 20 years of experience, has been appointed as interim CFO. Nexa operates five underground mines and is a leading zinc producer in Latin America. The company is currently searching for a permanent CFO.
Nexa Resources reported robust 1Q22 results, achieving net revenues of US$722 million, up from US$603 million in 1Q21, driven by higher metal prices. Adjusted EBITDA reached US$208 million, a record for a first quarter. Net income rose to US$94 million from US$32 million. Despite strong operational performance, zinc production declined due to temporary capacity reductions, and a fatal accident involving contractors raised safety concerns. The company remains committed to its Aripuanã project, expecting commercial production in 3Q22.
Nexa Resources announced its first quarter 2022 drilling and assay results, achieving 27,721 meters of drilling across multiple sites. The exploration program, which aims for a total of 123,300 meters in 2022, faced initial challenges due to the rainy season. Key highlights include significant mineral intersections at Cerro Lindo and El Porvenir, with results showing high-grade mineralization. Ongoing efforts at Aripuanã and Morro Agudo aim to upgrade Mineral Resources classification. The company anticipates further production ramp-up starting in the second quarter.
Nexa Resources has announced that its Vazante operations have resumed full capacity after overcoming earlier disruptions caused by heavy rainfall. Production had dipped to 60% but showed gradual recovery, averaging 70% in March. Current throughput stands at 4.6 ktpd, with zinc production guidance for 2022 maintained at 118-127kt. Nexa is a major integrated zinc producer, operating five underground mines and three smelters across Latin America. The company aims to sustain its position as a top global zinc producer.
Nexa Resources has resumed operations at its Atacocha San Gerardo open pit mine in Peru, following the end of protests by the Machcan community. Full operational capacity is expected within two days, with an estimated zinc production loss of 0.3kt anticipated to be recovered in the upcoming months. The company's 2022 production guidance remains unchanged. Nexa emphasizes its commitment to social development and ongoing dialogue with local communities.
Nexa Resources announced its 2021 Year-End Mineral Reserves and Resources, showing a decrease in Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves from 106.1 million tonnes in 2020 to 97.0 million tonnes in 2021, primarily due to mining production depletion. The total for zinc equivalent also dropped from 5,584kt to 5,146kt. Despite limited exploration due to COVID-19 protocols, positive results from targeted drilling at El Porvenir may extend mine life in the medium-term. The company plans to continue its exploration strategy, focusing on brownfield and greenfield projects in 2022.
Nexa Resources has reported a temporary suspension of production at the Atacocha San Gerardo open pit mine due to illegal roadblocks from the Machcan community. Although mine production is currently affected, the company states there has not been a significant impact on overall production, as Atacocha contributes approximately 0.2kt of zinc weekly, which is less than 3% of its total output. Nexa remains focused on community engagement and dialogue to resolve the issue, with 2022 production guidance remaining unchanged.
