Zinc production rose to 79kt, a 19% increase quarter-over-quarter. However, the company highlighted ongoing challenges from global market volatility and inflationary pressures. Looking ahead, Nexa is focused on operational efficiency and sustainability while managing risks related to the Russia-Ukraine war and potential economic downturns.
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.

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.

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.
