NEXA

Nexa Resources S.a.

A major global producer of zinc, copper, lead, silver, and gold, with mines and smelters across Peru and Brazil. The company traces its roots to Companhia Mineira de Metais, founded in Brazil in 1956, and grew within the Votorantim industrial group before being rebranded as Nexa in 2017. The name comes from the Latin "nexus," meaning "connection" — fitting for a business that links mining to smelting.
