Report summary
The Mariana iron ore complex, owned and operated by Vale in Minas Gerais, Brazil, includes four operating mines: Fabrica Nova, Alegria, Fazendão, and the newly integrated Capanema. Since the Brumadinho event, production has been limited to dry processing and a small portion of wet processing, with tailings directed to in-pit disposal. The new Capanema project, inaugurated in late 2024, adds approximately 14 Mtpa of capacity, with its ore transported via an 11-kilometre conveyor to the Timbopeba plant. Raw ore reserves were increased by 319 Mt from 2023 to 2024, incorporating Capanema's reserves, reinforcing the complex's long-term outlook.
