<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-align: left"><B>Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and
Report</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.25in">This report for the year
ended December 31, 2021 is presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Rule. The Rule was
adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to conflict
minerals as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. The Rule imposes certain reporting obligations
on SEC registrants whose manufactured products contain conflict minerals which are necessary to the functionality or production of their
products. Conflict minerals are defined as cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold and wolframite, and their derivatives, which are limited
to tin, tantalum and tungsten for the purposes of this assessment. These requirements apply to registrants regardless of the geographic
origin of the conflict minerals and whether or not they fund armed conflict.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.25in">We, Companhia Sider&uacute;rgica
Nacional, evaluated our current product lines and determined that certain products we manufacture or contract to manufacture contain tin,
a derivative of cassiterite. We also determined that none of the products we manufacture or contract to manufacture contains other conflict
minerals.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.25in">We conducted in good faith
a reasonable country of origin inquiry, or RCOI, regarding conflict minerals and have determined that, during the period covered by this
specialized disclosure report, no conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries nor came
from recycled or scrap sources.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.25in">Our RCOI process included
(i) the development and establishment of governance structures across multiple departments, including procurement, quality assurance,
supply chain and legal, (ii) requiring all suppliers to provide a certificate of origin for all conflict minerals we purchase, (iii) record-keeping
and (iv) escalation and follow-up procedures to identify and escalate any identified issues associated with non-responsive or problematic
responses to our RCOI.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.25in">In addition, our RCOI process
is aided by (i) the fact that cassiterite is abundant in Brazil specifically and South America in general, (ii) our knowledge of the industry
as we own and operate a cassiterite mine and tin smelter in northern Brazil, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, and (iii) the fact that
we are a direct consumer of tin.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.25in">Based on our RCOI process
described above, we have determined that, during the period covered by this specialized disclosure report, we purchased tin from four
suppliers, all of which are Brazilian integrated mining companies and smelters, who extract their own cassiterite in Brazil (one of these
suppliers is our wholly-owned subsidiary ERSA, located in northern Brazil). These outside suppliers have provided us certificates of origin
confirming that the tin we purchased was derived from cassiterite extracted in Brazil. We have also determined through our due diligence
and knowledge of the market that the price and logistics for delivery of the tin we purchase is consistent with what we would expect for
cassiterite extracted in Brazil.</P>
