On April 2, 2025, the President of the United States issued an Executive Order imposing a 10% tariff on imports from most countries and up to 50% on selected nations, pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). In addition, an investigation was initiated into the potential imposition of tariffs on critical minerals, including zinc and copper. However, the United States remains highly dependent on imports of refined zinc, which reduces the likelihood of the application of significant tariffs on this metal. During the 2025 fiscal year and up to the issuance date of these financial statements, no further developments occurred regarding the imposition of tariffs on critical minerals. Accordingly, the Company has not identified any material impacts arising from trade measures adopted by the United States or from the potential imposition of import tariffs on zinc or copper. The primary impact observed continues to be exchange rate volatility, driven by U.S. economic policy announcements and ongoing geopolitical tensions. |
