Thank you, Rodrigo. Good morning, everyone. Thanks for joining us today to discuss our results for the first quarter of 2024.

Before starting our presentation, I regret to inform you that in early March, we had a fatal incident involving one of our employees in the El Porvenir mine, and earlier this week, another fatal incident involving one of our employees at the Vazante mine.

This is a very difficult time for Nexa and it becomes clear that we need to work even harder on reinforcing our safety system. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the families of our two employees and reassure them and all of our stakeholders that the safety and well-being of every person who works at Nexa are our main values and remain our utmost priority. We are committed more than ever on enhancing employee safety and achieve zero fatalities.
