When other enterprises are playing it safe, Nexa Resources is seizing the day, peering across the horizon towards Peru. Following on the heels of Nexa’s audacious declaration in January, earmarking a staggering $58 million for exploration this year, the Brazilian powerhouse affirms its commitment to a long-term vision of replacing and expanding mineral reserves and resources.
Nexa’s footprint sprawls across nine strategic locales spread between Brazil and Peru – a potent cocktail of three refineries and six mines. It’s a tapestry that includes the illustrious Cerro Lindo, a stalwart among the top 20 largest zinc mines across the globe. And let’s not forget the behemoth dominating the landscape, the largest zinc refinery in the Americas, Cajamarquilla.
Let’s paint the bigger picture here – Peru, known as the world’s second-largest copper producer after Chile, stands tall as a cornerstone in the global spectrum of zinc producers.
