Press release

 

Vale clarifies about media reports

 

Rio de Janeiro, October 18, 2023 – Vale S.A. ("Vale" or "Company"), considering press reports on a petition for compensation worth R$100 billion against Samarco Mineração S.A. (“Samarco ”) and its shareholders, Vale and BHP Billiton Brasil Ltd (“BHP Brasil”), informs that it was not notified regarding that request. The Company will present its position and defense in the legal proceedings related to the claim in due course.

 

Vale, as a Samarco shareholder, reinforces its commitment to repairing the damage caused by the collapse of the Fundão dam. Reparation and compensation programs continue to be carried out by the Renova Foundation under the terms of the TTAC[1] and TAC Governance[2], agreements signed with authorities and the institutions of justice, which are still under execution.
