Vale clarifies on news about the lien of its licenses

 

Rio de Janeiro, December 21, 2015 — Vale S.A. (Vale) has become aware of a decision rendered by 12th Federal Court of Belo Horizonte which determined a lien over its ore mining licenses, without, however, limiting its production and commercial activities. While Vale has not yet been officially notified or served in said lawsuit, Vale clarifies that it will appeal against the court order, demonstrating the unreasonableness of the decision, and will also challenge the action within the specified period.
