Nexa Resources S.A. announced that production at the Cerro Lindo mine is suspended due to unusual heavy rainfall levels and overflowing rivers caused by Cyclone Yaku, which has been affecting the region, as well as other parts of the country. Nexa's underground mine received more water than it could pump to the surface, partially flooding some lower levels of the mine. Road access was also compromised.

Nexa is closely monitoring and evaluating the situation as it develops and is taking all necessary precautions to ensure the safety of its employees, contractors and host communities. On a daily basis, Cerro Lindo produces approximately 233t of zinc. Production has not yet been impacted month to date.
