Nexa Resources S.A. NEXA.TO

Company Overview

Nexa Resources S.A. is a global zinc producer engaged in the mining and smelting of non-ferrous metals, with operations spanning Latin America and commercial reach across international commodity markets. The company primarily produces zinc, copper, and lead, along with associated by-products such as silver, gold, and sulfuric acid, serving industrial customers in the construction, automotive, infrastructure, and manufacturing sectors. Its revenue base is largely driven by the sale of refined zinc and zinc alloys, complemented by copper concentrates and precious metal by-products.

The company traces its origins to the mining and metallurgical activities of Votorantim Group, a long-established Brazilian industrial conglomerate. Nexa Resources S.A. was formed through the consolidation of Votorantim’s zinc assets and later became a publicly listed company, with shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Over time, Nexa evolved into a vertically integrated metals producer with both upstream mining assets and downstream smelting capabilities, positioning itself as one of the largest zinc producers globally.
