Vancouver, British Columbia – Ero Copper Corp. (TSX: ERO, NYSE: ERO) ("Ero" or the

“Company”) is pleased to announce the appointment of Faheem Tejani to the Company's

Board of Directors (the "Board"), effective today, as part of the Company's ongoing Board

succession planning. The Company also announces that Director Matthew Wubs will not be

seeking re-election at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "2024 Annual

Meeting"), as he plans to dedicate more time to his family business.

"On behalf of the Board, I would like to extend our appreciation to Matt for his invaluable

contributions and dedication since joining us in 2016," said Christopher Noel Dunn, Chairman

of the Board.

Dr. Sally Eyre, Chairperson of the Board's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee,

remarked on the transition: "As Matt prepares to leave his Director role in April 2024, we are

very pleased to welcome Faheem to the Board. His deep experience in finance, combined

with his previous board experience, will bring diverse perspectives to our discussions and

decision-making."

Mr. Tejani is a seasoned finance professional with 25 years of experience in capital markets,

corporate finance, and mergers and acquisitions. He is currently the President of Capital

Asset Lending, one of the largest private mortgage administrators of non-traditional

residential mortgages in Canada with approximately $1 billion of assets under management.

Prior to this, he dedicated over 17 years of his career to BMO Capital Markets, culminating his

tenure as Managing Director in the Equity Capital Markets division, with a focus on the mining

and metals sector. Before joining BMO Capital Markets, he worked at one of the largest

global accounting firms. Mr. Tejani also notably served on the Board of Directors of Pretium

Resources from 2018 to 2022. He holds a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) degree from the

University of Western Ontario and is a Chartered Professional Accountant.

In preparation for these transitions, Jill Angevine has been appointed as the new Chairperson

of the Board's Audit Committee. Mr. Wubs will remain a member of the Board's Audit

Committee until the 2024 Annual Meeting.
