Vale in Minas Gerais
Minas Gerais is the birthplace of Vale and continues to represent the spirit with which we face our present challenges.
A Vale a uma mensagem de distância!
Com o Vale + Comunidade, criamos um espaço para reunir todas as formas pelas quais você pode entrar em contato conosco. Seja para discutir questões locais, sugerir melhorias, ou resolver dúvidas, temos uma série de canais dedicados para atender você com atenção e respeito.
Além disso, em breve lançaremos a ação "Fale com a Vale", uma iniciativa que leva nossos canais de escuta até você, por meio de visitas porta a porta em comunidades locais. Nossos promotores, identificados com materiais da campanha, estarão prontos para esclarecer dúvidas, sempre com respeito, empatia e informação.

Vale Balance + Itabira
Inclusion through sports
We reaffirm our commitment to Itabira, the city where our company was born. To this end, we support the municipal administration, jointly building a plan for a more sustainable city. There are strategies in several areas: environment, education, innovation, security, among others. In the social area, we invest in initiatives that contribute to the city's development. We support sports projects for children and teenagers, such as the Little Seed of Sports Project, Judo classes, and the Bright Minds Chess Project. We also continue with our commitment to more sustainable mining, with the elimination of Dike 2 of the Pontal System, located at Cauê Mine, in Itabira. The initiative was anticipated, and will be concluded in 2023, one year ahead of schedule. The anticipation is the result of engineering advances in the preparatory works for the decharacterization of the structure.

Sobre a atividade em licenciamento
O licenciamento corretivo trata das obras emergenciais que serão ou que estão sendo executadas nas áreas afetadas diretamente pela ruptura da barragem de rejeitos B1, da Mina Córrego do Feijão, localizada em Brumadinho. As obras têm o objetivo de conter o deslocamento dos rejeitos e sedimentos, assim como preparar a recuperação ambiental do ribeirão Ferro-Carvão e do rio Paraopeba.
Sobre a atividade em licenciamento
A solicitação de licença é para a realização de sondagem geotécnica necessária para o desenvolvimento dos projetos de engenharia da Pilha de Disposição de Rejeito Filtrado - PDR Tamanduá e estruturas auxiliares, que vem sendo estudada dentro do contexto das operações da Mina Brucutu, localizada nos municípios de São Gonçalo do Rio Abaixo e Barão de Cocais.
As atividades de sondagem geotécnica possibilitam a investigação do subsolo e fornecem os parâmetros necessários para a caracterização dos materiais de fundação, terraplenagem e definição de áreas de empréstimo. Para isso, é usado equipamento para perfurar e obter amostras de solo e rochas e também delimitar o nível do lençol freático da área em que se pretende desenvolver o projeto.
A documentação se encontra protocolada nos órgãos ambientais competentes para análise de concessão da Licença Prévia, que atestará a viabilidade socioambiental do projeto e permitirá avançar para as próximas fases do licenciamento ambiental.
Acesse o Estudo de Impacto Ambiental e o respectivo Relatório de Impacto Ambiental EIA-RIMA completos nos links abaixo:
Nesse sentido, a empresa ‘Sete Soluções’ foi contratada para realizar estudos ambientais na região. O objetivo é conhecer a área para compatibilizar o interesse na ‘Ampliação de estruturas na Mina Água Limpa’ com o ambiente onde a unidade produtiva está inserida. Os trabalhos serão iniciados em julho de 2020 e se estendem até o final do ano. Para isso, pesquisadores acessarão a área de interesse para coletar informações sobre a fauna e a flora, dentre outras características do ambiente. Além disso, serão realizadas entrevistas com lideranças formais e informais das localidades para a busca da percepção sobre os diversos aspectos socioeconômicos e ambientais.
Com a conclusão desses estudos e a confirmação de viabilidade, a Vale buscará a obtenção das devidas licenças junto aos órgãos competentes, assim como tornará formal junto à sociedade e todas as partes interessadas seu interesse na implementação do projeto . Reforçamos nosso compromisso com a condução de nossos negócios baseada em relações transparentes, pautadas pelo diálogo e respeito mútuo nos colocando à disposição para mais esclarecimentos.
O Projeto de Pesquisa Mineral Mina de Capanema compreende o desenvolvimento de uma campanha de sondagem com 30 furos, totalizando profundidade estimada de 8.230 m (somatório de todos os furos); demandando a abertura de praças de sondagem de 400 m² (20 m x 20 m); e acessos de 6 m de largura.
A Área de Ocupação do Projeto possui 11,94 ha. Tendo em vista a necessidade de supressão de vegetação nativa do bioma Mata Atlântica, em atendimento à Lei n° 11.428/2006, tornou-se necessária a elaboração deste Estudo de Impacto Ambiental (EIA).

Water Cycle Ecoplaza
Vale has implemented a method of treating sewage using a wetland system at its Águas Claras Mine (MAC) unit, which uses basic materials such as gravel and sand, along with effluent treatment plants. In addition to the benefits for the environment, the system is also more economical and offers an opportunity to stimulate environmental awareness.
