NEXA RESOURCES ANNOUNCES THE SALE OF
PUKAQAQA PROJECT
Luxembourg, September 4, 2024 - Nexa Resources
S.A. (“Nexa Resources”, “Nexa” or the “Company”) (NYSE Symbol: “NEXA”) announces today
the signing of a definitive agreement among Nexa Resources Peru S.A.A., as the seller, and Olympic Precious Metals Ltd. (“Olympic”),
as the purchaser, for the sale of 100% of the shares issued by Compañia Minera Cerro Colorado S.A.C., comprising the mineral properties
of the Pukaqaqa Project (“Pukaqaqa” or the “Project”), located in the Huancavelica region of Peru for a purchase
price of US$4.3 million (the “Transaction”). Pukaqaqa is a greenfield project, in the pre-feasibility study, involving the
development of an open pit copper and molybdenum mine, with additional gold credits.
The total consideration for this Transaction comprises
US$0.3 million in upfront cash, US$1.0 million in the first staged payment, and US$3.0 million in the second staged payment. These payments
are expected to occur upon the closing of the Transaction, 12 months thereafter, and 48 months thereafter, respectively.
In addition to the consideration, Nexa will receive
contingent payments totaling US$25 million, payable in cash in three installments, subject to and upon the Project reaching certain milestones
in its development.
The closing of this Transaction is expected to occur
by December 2024, subject to certain customary conditions precedent, including the transfer of some peripheral concessions held by Nexa
to the Project.
As previously disclosed, Nexa has been actively assessing
risk-return alternatives, and the sale of this Project is expected to result in Nexa’s continued portfolio optimization process
to improve free cash flow in line with the Company's disciplined capital allocation framework.
“The sale of Pukaqaqa is another step in our
journey to continually maximize value for the Company and its shareholders. Portfolio optimization is a central part of our strategy to
improve cash flow generation and returns,” said Ignacio Rosado, CEO of Nexa Resources.
Nexa has engaged Argent Partners as its financial advisor and Rebaza Alcázar
& de las Casas as its legal counsel.

Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains certain forward-looking
information and forward-looking statements as defined in applicable securities laws (collectively referred to in this news release as
“forward-looking statements”). Forward-looking statements contained in this news release may include, but are not limited
to, zinc and other metal prices and exchange rate assumptions, projected operating and capital costs, metal or mineral recoveries, head
grades, mine life, production rates, and returns; the Company’s potential plans; the estimation of the tonnage, grade and content
of deposits and the extent of mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates; timing of commencement of production; exploration potential
and results; the timing and receipt of necessary permits for future operations; and the impacts of COVID-19 on our operations.
These statements are based on information currently
available to the Company and the Company provides no assurance that actual results and future performance and achievements will meet or
not differ from the expectations of management or qualified persons. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking
statements. The words “believe,” “will,” “may,” “may have,” “would,” “estimate,”
“continues,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “expects,” “budget,”
“scheduled,” “forecasts” and similar words are intended to identify estimates and forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the
actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Actual results and developments may be substantially different from the expectations
described in the forward-looking statements for a number of reasons, many of which are not under our control, among them, the activities
of our competition, the future global economic situation, weather conditions, market prices and conditions, exchange rates, and operational
and financial risks. The unexpected occurrence of one or more of the abovementioned events may significantly change the results of our
operations on which we have based our estimates and forward-looking statements. Our estimates and forward-looking statements may also
be influenced by, among others, legal, political, environmental, or other risks that could materially affect the potential development
of the Project, including risks related to outbreaks of contagious diseases or health crises impacting overall economic activity regionally
or globally, as well as risks relating to ongoing or future investigations by local authorities with respect to our business and operations

Forward-looking statements are necessarily based
upon a number of factors and assumptions that, while considered reasonable and appropriate by management and qualified persons
considering their experience are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies and may prove to be incorrect.
Statements concerning future production costs or volumes are based on numerous assumptions of management regarding operating matters
and on assumptions that demand for products develops as anticipated, that customers and other counterparties perform their
contractual obligations, full integration of mining and smelting operations, that operating and capital plans will not be disrupted
by issues such as mechanical failure, unavailability of parts and supplies, labor disturbances, interruption in transportation or
utilities, adverse weather conditions, and that there are no material unanticipated variations in metal prices, exchange rates, or
the cost of energy, supplies or transportation, among other assumptions.
Estimates and forward-looking statements refer only
to the date when they were made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any estimate or forward-looking statement
due to new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Estimates and forward-looking statements involve risks
and uncertainties and do not guarantee future performance, as actual results or developments may be substantially different from the
expectations described in the forward-looking statements. Further information concerning risks and uncertainties associated with these
forward-looking statements and our business can be found in our public disclosures filed under our profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca)
