*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
Serra Leste is a surface mine owned and operated by Vale located in the Carajás region, Pará state, Brazil. The operation is approximately 50 kilometres northeast of the Serra Norte mine and produces a mix of fines and concentrate products primarily for the seaborne export market. Serra Leste stayed closed between early 2019 and late 2020. The stoppage came after Vale reached the limit of the area previously licensed for the extraction of iron ore. Just by the end of 2020, in November, Vale announced the receipt approval to resume operations and expand the project's capacity. Our production view for Serra Leste is more conservative. The model-embedded final output rate will be achieved by 2028.
