que lindo!
Rio de Janeiro, July 16th, 2018 – Vale S.A (Vale) achieved a new record of 96.8 Mt of iron ore
production1 for a second quarter, despite the nationwide truck drivers’ strike in May, with 12-
day disruptions in production and logistics across Brazil, leading to force majeure being
declared by many companies. Vale overcame these adversities using the flexibility of its supply
chain, with transfers of supplies between sites, alternative use of railways to transport inputs,
adjustment in mining methods and production plans and change in mill process parameters.
Vale recognizes and thanks the creativity and resilience of its teams to achieve a production
record in such an environment.
Record sales volumes for a second quarter of iron ore and pellets totaled 86.5 Mt in 2Q18, 4.8
Mt higher than in 2Q17. The record was achieved despite the increase of offshore stocks to
support the ongoing blending activities.
Vale’s premium and flexible product portfolio is being tailored to maximize margin and to benefit
from the increase in the “flight to quality” trend. The market premium for the 65% of iron ore
content over the 62% in 2Q18 increased from an average of US$ 16.0/t in 1Q18 to an average
of US$ 20.2/t in 2Q18.
