Certain people have recently been using Vale’s name dishonestly, pretending to work for or represent our company, and offering Vale’s iron ore for sale. Our company does not authorize third parties to enter into this kind of contract.
Vale does not carry out any transaction of this kind. We have our own network of sales offices in Brazil and abroad, and our corporate policy is for our iron ore output to be sold directly by our commercial offices to our customers, without the participation of any intermediaries.
If you should be approached by anyone who seems suspicious, please get into direct contact with Vale via our online “Talk to Us” facility.
