Sustainability Report (the "Report"), titled Born in Brazil, Built
for Tomorrow. This Report provides an update on the Company's
strategy, practices, performance and management approach to key

"Our 2023 Sustainability Report showcases our
commitment to responsibly producing the metals essential for global
decarbonization," said David Strang, Ero's Chief Executive Officer.
"With our operations rooted in Brazil, we benefit from access to
electricity generated from approximately 85% renewable energy
sources. This allows us to produce lower carbon- intensity copper
that contributes to a cleaner, more sustainable future.
"Driven by our responsibility to operate
sustainably, we are also deeply invested in the well- being of our
workforce and the communities in which we operate. Key initiatives,
such as the renovation of the Curaçá Valley Polyclinic and

strategy, and we remain dedicated to creating value for all
stakeholders as we Build for Tomorrow."
