About Vale
Vale is a large global miner and the world's largest producer of iron ore and pellets. In recent years the company has sold noncore assets such as its fertilizer, coal, and steel operations to concentrate on iron ore, nickel, and copper. Earnings are dominated by the bulk materials division, primarily iron ore and iron ore pellets. The base metals division is much smaller, consisting of nickel mines and smelters along with copper mines producing copper in concentrate. In 2024, Vale sold a minority 10% stake in energy transition metals, its base metals business, likely the first step in separating base metals and iron ore.

Vale’s copper production increased by 18% to 92.6 kt and nickel output surged 44% to 40.3 kt in Q2 2025, driven by ramp-ups at Salobo, Sossego, and Voisey’s Bay, strengthening its diversification beyond iron ore. (Reuters)
