In the Southeastern System, the trains transit on the Estrada de Ferro Vitória a Minas railway ("EFVM") has been resumed on the Rio Piracicaba - João Monlevade stretch, thus allowing the gradual expedition of Brucutu and Mariana complex's production. Therefore, there is no longer Vale’s production sites halted in the System due to the rains. The BH branch line, which is responsible for general cargo transportation, is halted, and logistic alternatives are being v aluated for the definitive resumption of the branch line and for the expedition of general cargo while the branch line remains halted. In the Southern System, some road accesses were cleared, and other alternative accesses were implemented, allowing the circulation of employees/third parties to the System’s mines, thus enabling the adequacy works of the mining fronts infrastructure. Several stretches of the MRS Logística had their train transit cleared and other stretches are expected to be cleared throughout the week. Accordingly, the Abóboras, Vargem Grande, Fábrica and Viga plants, representing about half of the current capacity of the Southern System, were gradually resumed over the last days. The other plants should be resumed in the coming days, after additional works to re-establish the appropriate operating conditions and normalization of train transit has been done. Due to the stoppages in Minas Gerais, the company estimate an impact of approximately 1.5 Mt on iron ore production and third-party purchase. Vale considers the seasonal impact of the rainy season in all operations, and therefore reiterates its iron ore production guidance of 320-335 Mt for 2022. Vale remains with the continuous management and monitoring of its dams and geotechnical structures, carried out by the Geotechnical Monitoring Centers, by Vale's specialized teams and by the Engineers of Record. Based on a proactive posture, the Company reports changes in the safety conditions of two structures, associated with the heavy rains that hit Minas Gerais. Area IX dam: elevation of the emergency protocol to level 2 from level 1, after piezometric alterations on the right abutment of the structure. The structure is currently inactive and is included in the Decharacterization Plan of Vale’s upstream structures. Elefante dike: Initiation of emergency protocol at level 1, after erosion on the right abutment of the structure, without compromising its overall stability. The sediment containment dike is in the process of being decharacterized. The Company has already initiated studies and corrective actions in both cases. There is no permanent occupation of people in the corresponding Self-Rescue Zones and no additional evacuation is required. Duyuru • Jan 12

Home to one of the largest nickel deposits in the world, Voisey’s Bay has been producing nickel from an open-pit operation since 2005. The transition to underground involves the development of two underground mines, Reid Brook and Eastern Deeps - extending the life of Vale’s Labrador operations and achieving production of 40,000 tons of nickel in concentrate at a peak annual production rate of 2.6 million tonnes by 2025, with about 20,000 tonnes copper and 2,600 tonnes of cobalt as byproducts. The project is 65% complete, with executed capital expenditures of USD 1,260 million and Eastern Deeps start-up is expected for 2022. Voisey’s Bay Mine is a multiple winner of the John T. Ryan Award recognizing the safest mine performance in Canada, receiving the honor again in 2021. Faced with the unprecedented challenges of COVID-19, the Mine Expansion Project followed suit, reaching first ore production with zero lost time injuries since construction began in 2018. ndigenous participation is a hallmark of the Voisey’s Bay operation, enjoying a collaborative relationship with its Indigenous partners, Innu Nation & Nunatsiavut Government, on whose traditional lands the Voisey’s Bay Complex is located. Since the Voisey’s Bay Mine Expansion Project began in 2018, Innu and Nunatsiavut Inuit employment has more than doubled to approximately 500 employees and 65% of all procurement contracts for the project were awarded to Indigenous-owned businesses. The ability to mine and process ore from underground will continue to generate local employment, procurement, capacity-building and shared benefit for many years to come. Ore produced at Voisey’s Bay is processed at Vale’s Long Harbour, one of the world’s lowest emission nickel processing plants. The sustainably-produced, responsibly sourced nickel, copper and cobalt products will help meet future customer demand in the electric vehicle and clean energy space as industry seek to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lower carbon footprints. The production of first ore production at Voisey’s Bay represents Vale’s commitment to the continued delivery of quality, predictable and responsibly sourced material to market with safety, capacity-building and Indigenous participation at the forefront.
