TransAlta Reports Strong Second Quarter 2025 Results, Advancement of Strategic Priorities and Reaffirms Guidance
'Our strong second quarter results illustrate the value of our diversified fleet and exceptional operational performance. Our Alberta portfolio's hedging strategy and active asset optimization continued to generate realized prices well above spot prices while environmental credits generated by our hydro and wind assets significantly offset our gas fleet's carbon price compliance obligation. While we continue to navigate a challenging Alberta price environment, our assets continue to perform well, and we remain confident in achieving our 2025 Outlook,' said John Kousinioris, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Nexa Announces Full Resumption of Operations at Cerro Pasco Complex
Luxembourg, Luxembourg--(Newsfile Corp. - August 19, 2025) - Nexa Resources S.A. (NYSE: NEXA) ("Nexa Resources", "Nexa" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the full resumption of operations at its Cerro Pasco Complex. The Atacocha and El Porvenir mines have resumed at normal capacity utilization levels following the cessation of illegal protests by a small group of individuals from the San Juan de Milpo community, which has restored access to the mines. The temporary and partial disruption resulted in an estimated zinc production loss of approximately 1.2kt of zinc. This volume is expected to be recovered in the upcoming month, and as previously disclosed, the Company's 2025 production guidance remains unchanged. Nexa reaffirms its commitment to maintaining constructive dialogue with local communities and authorities and to supporting the social and economic development of its host regions. About Nexa Nexa is a large-scale, low-cost, integrated polymetallic producer, zinc being our main product, with over 65 years of experience developing and operating mining and smelting assets in Latin America. Nexa currently owns and operates four long-life underground polymetallic mines, two located in the Central Andes region of Peru, and two located in Brazil (one in the state of Minas Gerais and one in the state of Mato Grosso). Nexa also owns and operates one low-cost polymetallic open pit mine, also in the Central Andes region of Peru, and three smelters, two located in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil (Três Marias and Juiz de Fora), and one, located in Lima, which is Cajamarquilla, the largest smelter in the Americas. Nexa was among the top five producers of mined zinc globally in 2024 and one of the top five metallic zinc producers worldwide in 2024, according to Wood Mackenzie.
