<P STYLE="font: 16pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; color: #007E7A"><B>&nbsp;</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Rio de Janeiro, November 1<SUP>st</SUP>, 2022 &ndash;
Vale S.A. (&ldquo;Vale&rdquo;) announces that it has signed three agreements with local authorities and clients to jointly study the development
of industrial complexes (&ldquo;Mega Hubs&rdquo;) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and the Sultanate of Oman
to produce low-carbon products to the steelmaking industry.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The parties are seeking to cooperate in the development
of these Mega Hubs to produce hot briquetted iron (&ldquo;HBI&rdquo;) and steel products to supply both the local and seaborne markets,
with significant reduction of CO2 emissions.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The production of HBI using natural gas emits around
60%<SUP>[1]</SUP> less CO2, when compared to pig iron production through the integrated BF-BOF route. In the future, the replacement of
natural gas by hydrogen and the usage of renewable energy could eliminate CO2 emissions.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Vale is expected to build and operate iron ore concentration
and briquetting plants within the hubs, securing supply of high-grade agglomerated products. Local parties are expected to promote the
construction of the required logistics infrastructure. Investors and/or clients are expected to construct and operate the direct reduction
plants and be off takers of HBI for either the export or domestic markets. These Mega Hubs shall supply different markets across the globe
supporting the decarbonization of the steelmaking industry.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Vale&rsquo;s Chief Executive Officer Eduardo Bartolomeo
said: &ldquo;We are very pleased to announce these partnerships, which we believe will be key to support the decarbonization of the steelmaking
industry. With this initiative Vale will guarantee the availability of high-grade agglomerated products and foster the expansion of the
low CO2 emission steel industry.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Marcello Spinelli, Vale&rsquo;s Executive Vice President,
Iron Ore, said: &ldquo;We see a great potential in the direct reduction route, with the seaborne demand for these high-grade agglomerated
products growing 100 Mt in the next 15-20 years. We shall structurally increase our supply of these highly valuable agglomerated products
over the next years, improving the value of our product portfolio. We strongly believe that the Middle East, with its competitive energy
prices, strategic location, and entrepreneurial mindset, has a unique set of conditions to successfully develop these integrated hubs.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">This initiative contributes to Vale&rsquo;s commitment
to reduce 15% of net Scope 3 emissions by 2035. Additionally, Vale seeks to reduce its absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 33% by 2030
and achieve net zero by 2050, in line with the Paris Agreement, leading the evolution process towards sustainable mining.</P>
