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, copper, and nickel. Earnings are dominated by its iron ore business. 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 its base metals business, likely the first step in separating base metals and iron ore.
