equivalent calculated by converting copper, lead, silver and gold contents to a zinc equivalent grade based on consensus LT forecasts

We are reinventing ourselves

Environmental management

  • ~80% of our total tailings are no longer disposed in wet tailing dams
  • About 80% of the energy consumption of our operations comes from renewable sources

Legacy

We are shaping a future together with our host communities

  • Social agenda
  • Local development
  • Community members as protagonists of their own development

Circular economy

  • Paracatu: zero waste
  • Vazante: solution to reprocess tailings disposal waste
