3Q24 Production and Sales Report


Vale’s Q3 performance was marked by record iron ore output since 4Q18 and an increase in the production guidance for 2024. In copper, ore processed at Salobo 1 & 2 increased by 30% y/y supported by stronger mill performance. In nickel, performance of the Sudbury mines drove a 20% increase in mill throughput y/y.

Iron ore production reached 91.0 Mt, 4.7 Mt (+5%) higher y/y, driven by improved performance at S11D, Itabira and Brucutu. As previously announced, Vale has revised its production guidance upward to 323-330 Mt (from 310-320 Mt), reflecting continued improvements on operational stability and asset reliability. Pellets production totaled 10.4 Mt, 1.2 Mt (+13%) higher y/y. Iron ore sales were 81.8 Mt, up 1.3 Mt (+2%) y/y.

Copper production totaled 85.9 kt, 4.3 kt (+5%) higher y/y, reflecting stronger performance across all operations, which was partially offset by the impact of an incident in a conveyor belt at the Salobo 3 plant in June.

Nickel production totaled 47.1 kt, 5.0 kt (+12%) higher y/y, mainly reflecting stronger asset performance in Sudbury and the continued ramp-up of Voisey’s Bay underground mines.
