The Board of Directors of Nyrstar NV ("Nyrstar" or "the Company") announce today that Bill Scotting, Chief Executive Officer of Nyrstar, has decided to leave the Company to pursue other opportunities with immediate effect.

Since joining in 2015, Bill has led Nyrstar and been instrumental in implementing the change in strategy to strengthen the balance sheet, divest the Mining segment, deliver substantial cash and cost savings and progress the Port Pirie Redevelopment.

Mr Hilmar Rode, an industry leader with significant experience in metals processing, the Board's unanimous choice as Bill's successor, will be the new Chief Executive Officer of Nyrstar effective immediately.

Hilmar's background in the metals industry and specifically his experience and technical knowledge of the smelting business will be an asset for the Metals Processing transformation strategy. He has demonstrated experience through his involvement with the construction and commissioning of an ISA smelt furnace and acid plant at the Kazzinc project in Kazakhstan, and his extensive experience at the Skorpion zinc project in Namibia which produces special high grade zinc. Further detail of Hilmar's professional experience can be found in the Notes to Editors below.

Chairman, Martyn Konig said: "The Board thanks Bill for his hard work and unrelenting dedication since he joined Nyrstar. We all wish Bill the best for his next venture."

"For Nyrstar, 2017 is a significant year of delivery with the Port Pirie Redevelopment, further optimisation of the Metals Processing assets and the divestment of the remainder of the Mining segment. We welcome Hilmar as CEO and are confident that his extensive experience in delivering projects of this scale and type will successfully execute the Company's strategy."

Nyrstar reiterates its 2016 full year guidance.
