Nexa Reports 8% Increase in Q2 2026 Zinc Production, Driven by Higher Ore Grades
【Nexa Reports Q2 2026 Production】Nexa released its Q2 2026 operating results, reporting total zinc production of 79.3 kt, up 8% year over year, mainly supported by higher ore grades. On a quarter-on-quarter basis, production was broadly in line with expectations, with the recovery of operations at its Peruvian mines offsetting the impact of lower grades at the Aripuanã operation. The commissioning of the fourth tailings filter and the planned replacement of the ball mill liners also affected production.
