<p style="font: 11pt/115% Georgia, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt">We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated statement of financial
position of Vale S.A. and its subsidiaries (&#8220;Company&#8221;) as of June 30, 2023, and the related consolidated income statement,
consolidated statement of comprehensive income and consolidated statement of cash flows for the three and six-month periods ended June
30, 2023 and 2022, and the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, including
the related notes (collectively referred to as the &#8220;interim financial statements&#8221;). Based on our reviews, we are not aware
of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with IAS
34 - <i>Interim Financial Reporting</i>, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).</p>

<p style="font: 11pt/115% Georgia, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt">We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as of December
31, 2022, and the related consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes
in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 16,
2023, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the
accompanying consolidated financial position as of December 31, 2022, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated
financial position from which it has been derived.</p>

<p style="font: 11pt/115% Georgia, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt">These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company&#8217;s
management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and
are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the
PCAOB. A review of interim financial statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons
responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards
of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly,
we do not express such an opinion.</p>

United Kingdom, announced the discontinuation of the LIBOR rate for all terms in pounds, euros, Swiss francs, yen and for terms of one
week and two months in dollars at the end of December 2021 and the other terms at the end of June 2023. Vale has finalized the negotiations
for the replacement of the reference interest rate of its financial contracts from LIBOR to Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"),
with spread adjustments to match the transaction costs. The Company does not expect material impacts on the cash flows of these operations.</ix:footnote></span></td></tr>

<p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">In January 2019, a tailings dam (&#8220;Dam I&#8221;) experienced
a failure at the C&#243;rrego do Feij&#227;o mine, in the city of Brumadinho, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The failure released
a flow of tailings debris, destroying some of Vale&#8217;s facilities, affecting local communities and disturbing the environment. The
tailings released have caused an impact of around 315 km in extension, reaching the nearby Paraopeba River. The dam failure in Brumadinho
(&#8220;event&#8221;) resulted in 270 fatalities or presumed fatalities, including 3 victims still missing, and caused extensive property
and environmental damage in the region.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">On February 4, 2021, the Company entered into a Judicial Settlement
for Integral Reparation (&#8220;Global Settlement&#8221;), which was under negotiations since 2019, with the State of Minas Gerais, the
Public Defender of the State of Minas Gerais and the Federal and the State of Minas Gerais Public Prosecutors Offices, to repair the environmental
and social damage resulting from the Dam I rupture. The Global Settlement was ratified by the Minas Gerais State Court on February 4,
2021, and the res judicata was drawn up on April 7, 2021.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">As a result of the dam failure, the Company has been recognizing
provisions to meet its assumed obligations, including indemnification to those affected by the event, remediation of the impacted areas
and compensation to the society, as shown below:</p>

which the funds will be used directly by the State of Minas Gerais and Institutions of Justice for socio-economic and socio-environmental
compensation projects; (ii) socioeconomic projects in Brumadinho and other municipalities; and (iii) compensation of the environmental
damage caused by the dam failure. These obligations are projected for an average period of 5 years.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">For the measures (i) and (ii), the agreement specifies an amount
for each project and changes in the original budget and deadlines may have an impact in the provision. In addition, the execution of the
environmental recovery actions has no cap limit despite having been estimated in the Global Settlement due to the Company's legal obligation
to fully repair the environmental damage caused by the dam failure. The expenses related to these obligations are deducted from the income
tax calculation, in accordance with the Brazilian tax regulation, which is subject to periodic inspection by the competent authorities.
Therefore, although Vale is monitoring this provision, the amount recorded could materially change depending on several factors that are
not under the Company&#8217;s control.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">In May 2023, Vale S.A. entered into a binding agreement jointly
with BHPB, Samarco and certain creditors which hold together more than 50% of Samarco's debt, setting the parameters of Samarco&#8217;s
debt restructuring to be implemented through a consensual restructuring plan (&#8220;Agreement&#8221;), subject for approval by the creditors
and to be confirmed by the JR court. The plan aims to establish an independent and sustainable financial position for Samarco by resuming
its high-quality pellets production, allowing Samarco to comply with its socio-environmental obligations.</p>

which modified the National Dam Safety Policy (Law no. 12,334/2020), reinforcing the prohibition of constructing and raising upstream
dams in Brazil. The law also requires companies to de-characterize the structures built using the upstream method by 2022, or by a later
date if it is proven that the de-characterization is not technically feasible by 2022. As made available to competent bodies, a substantial
part of the Company's de-characterization projects will be completed in a period exceeding the date established in the legislation due
to the characteristics and safety levels of the Company's geotechnical structures.</p>

the Federal Government published decree no. 11,310, which regulates dispositions of the National Dam Safety Policy, regulates dam supervision
activities, establishes the competence to regulate the extension of the self-rescue zone for authorities acting in dam emergency situations,
and presents guidelines on technical reports regarding the causes of a breach and other aspects of management of geotechnical structures.
This decree also determined that companies must present guarantees for dams in an alert situation, however, the procedures for measuring

dams in Canada, including upstream compacted dams. However, the Company decided that these dams will be decommissioned using other methods,

<p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">In January 2019, a tailings dam (&#8220;Dam I&#8221;) experienced
a failure at the C&#243;rrego do Feij&#227;o mine, in the city of Brumadinho, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The failure released
a flow of tailings debris, destroying some of Vale&#8217;s facilities, affecting local communities and disturbing the environment. The
tailings released have caused an impact of around 315 km in extension, reaching the nearby Paraopeba River. The dam failure in Brumadinho
(&#8220;event&#8221;) resulted in 270 fatalities or presumed fatalities, including 3 victims still missing, and caused extensive property
and environmental damage in the region.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">On February 4, 2021, the Company entered into a Judicial Settlement
for Integral Reparation (&#8220;Global Settlement&#8221;), which was under negotiations since 2019, with the State of Minas Gerais, the
Public Defender of the State of Minas Gerais and the Federal and the State of Minas Gerais Public Prosecutors Offices, to repair the environmental
and social damage resulting from the Dam I rupture. The Global Settlement was ratified by the Minas Gerais State Court on February 4,
2021, and the res judicata was drawn up on April 7, 2021.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">As a result of the dam failure, the Company has been recognizing
provisions to meet its assumed obligations, including indemnification to those affected by the event, remediation of the impacted areas
and compensation to the society, as shown below:</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Global settlement includes: (i) payment obligations, of
which the funds will be used directly by the State of Minas Gerais and Institutions of Justice for socio-economic and socio-environmental
compensation projects; (ii) socioeconomic projects in Brumadinho and other municipalities; and (iii) compensation of the environmental
damage caused by the dam failure. These obligations are projected for an average period of 5 years.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">For the measures (i) and (ii), the agreement specifies an amount
for each project and changes in the original budget and deadlines may have an impact in the provision. In addition, the execution of the
environmental recovery actions has no cap limit despite having been estimated in the Global Settlement due to the Company's legal obligation
to fully repair the environmental damage caused by the dam failure. The expenses related to these obligations are deducted from the income
tax calculation, in accordance with the Brazilian tax regulation, which is subject to periodic inspection by the competent authorities.
Therefore, although Vale is monitoring this provision, the amount recorded could materially change depending on several factors that are
not under the Company&#8217;s control.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">For the individual indemnification, Vale and the Public Defendants
of the State of Minas Gerais formalized an agreement on April 5, 2019, under which those affected by the Brumadinho&#8217;s dam failure
may join an individual or family group out-of-Court settlement agreements for the indemnification of material, economic and moral damages.
This agreement establishes the basis for a wide range of indemnification payments, which were defined according to the best practices
and case law of Brazilian Courts, following rules and principles of the United Nations.</p>

As a result of the Global Settlement, settled in February 2021, the requests for the reparation of
socio-environmental and socioeconomic damages caused by the dam failure were substantially resolved. Indemnifications for individual damages
was excluded from the Global Settlement, and the Term of Commitment signed with the Public Defendants of the State of Minas Gerais was
ratified, whose parameters are utilized as a basis for the settlement of individual agreements. In the same year of 2021, the fulfilment
of the Global Settlement was initiated, by Vale and other parties.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">In May 2023, Vale S.A. entered into a binding agreement jointly
with BHPB, Samarco and certain creditors which hold together more than 50% of Samarco's debt, setting the parameters of Samarco&#8217;s
debt restructuring to be implemented through a consensual restructuring plan (&#8220;Agreement&#8221;), subject for approval by the creditors
and to be confirmed by the JR court. The plan aims to establish an independent and sustainable financial position for Samarco by resuming
its high-quality pellets production, allowing Samarco to comply with its socio-environmental obligations.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Agreement also provides that additional cash demands that
exceed these payments will be made to Funda&#231;&#227;o Renova through capital contributions to Samarco. The contributions have been

<p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Therefore, due to the change in the mechanism to fund Renova,
Vale will no longer be allowed to deduct future payments from its income tax computation as they are not tax deductible in Brazil. Thus,

<p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The estimate of the economic impact of a potential agreement
will depend mainly on (i) a detailed assessment of the estimates of the amounts to be spent on the reparation and compensation projects
being discussed, (ii) an analysis of the detailed scope of such projects to determine their overlap with the initiatives and amounts already
provisioned; and (iii) the timing of the execution of projects and disbursements, which will impact the present value of the obligations.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">In March 2023, as part of a proceeding related to a potential
increase on the number of territories recognized as affected by the collapse of Samarco&#8217;s Fund&#227;o dam and covered by the TTAC,
a Federal Court issued a decision ordering Vale and BHP Brasil to make judicial deposits in the total amount of US$<span id="xdx_90E_ecustom--DepositsOfTotalAmount_pn8n9_c20230325__20230331_z0TIoOyiPzRh" title="Deposits of total amount">2.1</span> billion (R$<span id="xdx_905_ecustom--DepositsOfTotalAmount_pn8n9_uBRL_c20230325__20230331_z1esfAxva4Ai" title="Deposits of total amount">10.3</span>
billion), in ten installments, which the effect for Vale would be 50% of this amount. On April 28, 2023, the Federal Court granted the
companies' request for a suspensive effect on the decision that determined this deposit. The Company believes its provisions are sufficient
to comply with the TTAC obligations.</p>

charges against Vale representatives relating to the first group of charges, which concerns the results of the Fund&#227;o dam failure,
remaining only the legal entity in the passive pole. The second group of charges against Vale S.A. and one of the Company&#8217;s employees,
which concerns the accusation of alleged crimes committed against the Environmental Public Administration, remained unchanged. The Company
cannot estimate when a final decision on the case will be issued. The likelihood of a financial loss to the Company is classified as possible
and it is not yet possible to reliably estimate the amount of a potential loss to Vale.</p>

in Brazil only against BHP, for the allegedly damages caused by the Fund&#227;o dam failure.</p>

requesting the Company to be responsible for the indemnification payments in the proportion to its interest held in Samarco. The Company
believes that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of the English Court and it does not have any contractual obligation in relation to
this matter, therefore, the Company has assessed the risk of loss as remote.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: teal">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Company is subject to local laws and regulations, that
requires the decommissioning of the assets and mine sites that Vale operates at the end of their useful lives, therefore, expenses for
demobilization occur predominantly after the end of operational activities. Depending on the geotechnical characteristics of the structures,
the Company is required to de-characterize the structures, as shown in item a) below.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #00807A"><b>Laws and regulations related to dam safety</b></p>

<p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">In September 2020, the Federal Government enacted Law no. 14.066,
which modified the National Dam Safety Policy (Law no. 12,334/2020), reinforcing the prohibition of constructing and raising upstream
dams in Brazil. The law also requires companies to de-characterize the structures built using the upstream method by 2022, or by a later
date if it is proven that the de-characterization is not technically feasible by 2022. As made available to competent bodies, a substantial
part of the Company's de-characterization projects will be completed in a period exceeding the date established in the legislation due
to the characteristics and safety levels of the Company's geotechnical structures.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Thus, in February 2022, the Company filed with the relevant
bodies a request for an extension to perform the projects and, as a result, signed a Term of Commitment establishing legal and technical
certainty for the process of de-characterization of the upstream dams, considering that the deadline defined was technically unfeasible,
especially due to the necessary actions to increase safety during the works. With the signing of the agreement, the Company recorded an
additional provision of US$<span id="xdx_900_eifrs-full--AdditionalProvisionsOtherProvisions_pn6n6_c20220227__20220228__ifrs-full--JointVenturesAxis__custom--SamarcoMineraoS.A.Member_zI5SU2uZHP2f" title="Additional provision">37</span> to make investments in social and environmental projects over a period of 8 years.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; text-align: justify; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0">In December 2022,
the Federal Government published decree no. 11,310, which regulates dispositions of the National Dam Safety Policy, regulates dam supervision
activities, establishes the competence to regulate the extension of the self-rescue zone for authorities acting in dam emergency situations,
and presents guidelines on technical reports regarding the causes of a breach and other aspects of management of geotechnical structures.
This decree also determined that companies must present guarantees for dams in an alert situation, however, the procedures for measuring
and executing these guarantees are still being discussed by the responsible public agencies.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; text-align: justify; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0">In February 2023,
ANM issued a resolution that modifies the current dam safety regulation. The main changes are new rules in connection with the active
and passive monitoring during the de-characterization of dams, the simplified dam collapse study and simplified emergency action plan
for specific cases, and the dam safety plan (&#8220;PSB&#8221;). The Company believes its provisions are sufficient to comply with the
effective legal obligations.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; text-align: justify; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0">Thus, depending
on the development of these laws, the provisions registered by the Company may be materially impacted in future periods.</p>

<p style="font: bold 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; color: #00807A; text-align: justify">a) De-characterization of upstream and
centerline geotechnical structures</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">As a result of the Brumadinho dam failure (note 22) and, in
compliance with Law 14,066, the Company has decided to speed up the plan to &#8220;de-characterize&#8221; of all its tailings dams built
under the upstream method, certain &#8220;centerline structures&#8221; and dikes, located in Brazil. The Company also operates tailings
dams in Canada, including upstream compacted dams. However, the Company decided that these dams will be decommissioned using other methods,
thus, the provision to carry out the decommissioning of dams in Canada is recognized as &#8220;Obligations for decommissioning assets
and environmental obligations&#8221;, as presented in item (b) below.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">These structures are in different stages of maturity, some
of them still in the conceptual engineering phase, for which the estimate of expenditures includes in its methodology a high degree of
uncertainty in the definition of the total cost of the project in accordance with best market practices.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The cash flow for de-characterization projects are estimated
for a period up to 13 years and were discounted at present value at a rate, which reduced from 6.16% to 5.72%. Changes in the provisions
are as follows:</p>

<td style="vertical-align: top;" valign="top">In March 2021, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (&#8220;FCA&#8221;), the financial regulator in the
United Kingdom, announced the discontinuation of the LIBOR rate for all terms in pounds, euros, Swiss francs, yen and for terms of one
week and two months in dollars at the end of December 2021 and the other terms at the end of June 2023. Vale has finalized the negotiations
for the replacement of the reference interest rate of its financial contracts from LIBOR to Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"),
with spread adjustments to match the transaction costs. The Company does not expect material impacts on the cash flows of these operations.</td>

For this purpose, rights, options or warrants to acquire a fixed number of the entity&#8217;s own equity instruments for a fixed amount of any currency are equity instruments if the entity offers the rights, options or warrants pro rata to all of its existing owners of the same class of its own non-derivative equity instruments. Also, for those purposes the entity&#8217;s own equity instruments do not include puttable financial instruments that are classified as equity instruments in accordance with paragraphs 16A-16B of IAS 32, instruments that impose on the entity an obligation to deliver to another party a pro rata share of the net assets of the entity only on liquidation and are classified as equity instruments in accordance with paragraphs 16C-16D of IAS 32, or instruments that are contracts for the future receipt or delivery of the entity&#8217;s own equity instruments. As an exception, an instrument that meets the definition of a financial liability is classified as an equity instrument if it has all the features and meets the conditions in paragraphs 16A-16B or paragraphs 16C-16D of IAS 32.

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Vale S.A. (the &#x201c;Parent Company&#x201d;) is a public company
headquartered in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with securities traded on the share exchanges of S&#xe3;o Paulo &#x2013; B3 S.A.
(VALE3), New York - NYSE (VALE) and Madrid &#x2013; LATIBEX (XVALO).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Vale S.A. and its subsidiaries (&#x201c;Vale&#x201d; or the &#x201c;Company&#x201d;)
are global producers of: (i) iron ore and iron ore pellets, which are key raw materials for steelmaking, (ii) nickel, that is used to
produce stainless steel, electric vehicles and metal alloys employed in the production process of several products, (iii) copper, used
in the construction sector to produce pipes and electrical wires, and (iv) platinum, gold, silver, and cobalt as by-products of nickel
and copper. To outflow its production, Vale also operates a railroad and port logistics system in Brazil.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Most of the Company&#x2019;s products are sold to international
markets, through the Company's main trading company, Vale International SA (&#x201c;VISA&#x201d;), a wholly owned subsidiary located in
Switzerland.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In addition, Vale has investments in associates and joint operations
which operate energy assets to reduce energy costs, minimize the risk of shortages and meet its energy consumption needs through renewable
sources.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Company also used to produce and sell thermal and metallurgical
coal until April 2022, when Vale concluded the sale of this operation (note 15f). The results from the coal operation by the closing of
the disposal process are presented in these interim financial statements as &#x201c;discontinued operations&#x201d;.&lt;/p&gt;

interim financial statements of the Company (&#x201c;interim financial statements&#x201d;) have been prepared and are being presented in
accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (&#x201c;IASB&#x201d;).
All relevant information for the interim financial statements, and only this information, are presented and consistent to those used by
the Company's Management.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal"&gt;These interim financial statements
were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on July 27, 2023.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal"&gt;In June 2023, the International
Sustainability Standards Board (&#x201c;ISSB&#x201d;) issued IFRS S1 General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial
Information and IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures, which provide requirements for disclosures on sustainability-related risks and opportunities
and climate-related specific disclosures, respectively. The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts arising from these standards,
which are both effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal"&gt;Certain other new accounting
standards, amendments and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for December 31, 2023 reporting periods or have not
materially impacted these interim financial statements. The Company did not early adopt any of these standards and does not expect them
to have a material impact in future reporting periods.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: justify"&gt;The interim financial information of the Parent Company
and its associates and joint ventures are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which each entity operates
(&#x201c;functional currency&#x201d;), in the case of the Parent Company it is the Brazilian real (&#x201c;R$&#x201d;). For presentation purposes,
these interim financial statements are presented in United States dollars (&#x201c;US$&#x201d;) as the Company believes that this is how
international investors analyze the financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal"&gt;In June 2023, the International
Sustainability Standards Board (&#x201c;ISSB&#x201d;) issued IFRS S1 General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial
Information and IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures, which provide requirements for disclosures on sustainability-related risks and opportunities
and climate-related specific disclosures, respectively. The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts arising from these standards,
which are both effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal"&gt;Certain other new accounting
standards, amendments and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for December 31, 2023 reporting periods or have not
materially impacted these interim financial statements. The Company did not early adopt any of these standards and does not expect them

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: justify"&gt;The interim financial information of the Parent Company
and its associates and joint ventures are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which each entity operates
(&#x201c;functional currency&#x201d;), in the case of the Parent Company it is the Brazilian real (&#x201c;R$&#x201d;). For presentation purposes,
these interim financial statements are presented in United States dollars (&#x201c;US$&#x201d;) as the Company believes that this is how
international investors analyze the financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Reversal of deferred income
tax related to the Renova Foundation -&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; In May 2023, the Company has entered, together with BHP Billiton Brasil Ltda. (&#x201c;BHPB&#x201d;),
Samarco Minera&#xe7;&#xe3;o S.A. (&#x201c;Samarco&#x201d;) and certain creditors which hold together more than &lt;span id="xdx_90B_ecustom--UncoveredBankDebtClaimsPercentage_dp_c20230501__20230531_zwuVDK6jW9aa" title="Uncovered bank debt claims percentage"&gt;50&lt;/span&gt;% of Samarco&#x2019;s
notes claims and uncovered bank debt claims, into a binding agreement to setting the parameters of Samarco&#x2019;s debt restructuring
to be implemented through a consensual restructuring plan, subject for approval by the creditors and confirmed by the Judicial Reorganization
(&#x201c;JR&#x201d;) court.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Under the agreement, Vale and BHPB will no longer be allowed
to make direct payments to the Renova Foundation, instead they will have to make capital contributions to Samarco, which will be responsible
to fund Renova. Therefore, following the change in the procedure to provide these contributions, Vale will no longer deduct these cash
outflows from its income tax computation, resulting in the reversal of the deferred tax asset in the amount of US$1,078, recorded in the
income statement and presented as &#x201c;Income taxes&#x201d;. Further details are presented in note 23 of these interim financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Notes offering -&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
In June 2023, Vale issued notes of US$&lt;span id="xdx_900_ecustom--NotesOffering_pn6n6_c20230401__20230630__custom--ConsolidatedAndSeparateFinancialStatementAxis__custom--CashflowMember_zDexMr683Nn7" title="Notes offering"&gt;1,500&lt;/span&gt; with a coupon of &lt;span id="xdx_90C_ecustom--NotesOfferingPercentage_dp_c20230401__20230630__custom--ConsolidatedAndSeparateFinancialStatementAxis__custom--CashflowMember_zjkIW3138LDg" title="Notes offering percentage"&gt;6.125&lt;/span&gt;% per year and maturing in 2033.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bond tender offers
-&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; In June 2023, Vale redeemed notes in the total amount of US$&lt;span id="xdx_900_ecustom--BondsTenderOffers_pn6n6_c20230401__20230630__custom--ConsolidatedAndSeparateFinancialStatementAxis__custom--CashflowMember_zLngw4OxjKQ7" title="Bond tender offers"&gt;500&lt;/span&gt;, and paid a premium of US$&lt;span id="xdx_902_ecustom--BondsTenderOffers_pn6n6_c20230401__20230630__custom--ConsolidatedAndSeparateFinancialStatementAxis__custom--IncomeStatementMember_zXsosyrgiLa2" title="Bond tender offers"&gt;22&lt;/span&gt;, recorded in the income statement
and presented as &#x201c;Bond premium repurchase&#x201d; in note 6 &#x2013; Financial results.&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Strategic partnership
on the Energy Transition Metals business&#160;&#x2013;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; In July 2023 (subsequent event), the Company signed a binding agreement
with Manara Minerals, a joint venture between Ma&#x2019;aden and Saudi Arabia&#x2019;s Public Investment Fund, under which Manara Minerals
will make an equity investment in Vale Base Metals Limited (&#x201c;VBM&#x201d;), the holding entity for Vale&#x2019;s Energy Transition
Metals Business. At the same time, Vale and Engine No. 1 entered into another binding agreement for an equity investment in VBM. As a
result of both agreements, the investors will hold a combined &lt;span id="xdx_904_ecustom--EquityInterest_dp_c20230701__20230731_zdKi6KUPDZ0l" title="Equity interest"&gt;13&lt;/span&gt;% equity interest in VBM for the consideration of approximately US$&lt;span id="xdx_907_eifrs-full--ConsiderationPaidReceived_pn8n9_c20230701__20230731_zI3eoYGSCQ3" title="Consideration value"&gt;3.4&lt;/span&gt;
billion, which will be contributed to VBM thereby diluting Vale to an &lt;span id="xdx_903_ecustom--DilutingValePercentage_dp_c20230701__20230731_z3LFbPhNwpNj" title="Diluting Vale percentage"&gt;87&lt;/span&gt;% stake.&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: justify"&gt;Therefore, the Company will retain control over VBM
and this agreement shall be accounted for as an equity transaction with any result being recognized in shareholder&#x2019;s equity upon
closing of the transaction, which is expected to take place in 2024, subject to precedent condition, including the approval of the relevant
antitrust and regulatory authorities.&lt;/p&gt;

the Company&#x2019;s accounts receivable or revenues in the periods presented above.&lt;/p&gt;

sales &#x2013;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; The Company is mainly exposed to iron ore and copper price risk. The final sales price of these commodities is
calculated based on the pricing period stipulated in the sales contracts, which generally is later than the revenue recognition date.
Therefore, the Company initially recognizes revenue based on a provisional invoice and the receivables of the provisionally priced products
are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss (note 19), with these changes in the value of the receivables recorded
in the Company's net operating revenue.&lt;/p&gt;

with ArcelorMittal Brasil S.A. (&#x201c;ArcelorMittal&#x201d;) for the sale of CSP. Following the terms of the agreement, the Company has
impaired its investment in full, with an impact of US$&lt;span id="xdx_90D_ecustom--ImpairedItsInvestment_pn6n6_c20230101__20230630_zPAFIQ6NkKDk" title="Impaired its investment"&gt;111 &lt;/span&gt;and recorded a provision for accounts receivable with CSP in the amount of US$&lt;span id="xdx_900_ecustom--ProvisionForAccountsReceivable_pn6n6_c20230101__20230630_ziXMJVuBTPia" title="Provision for accounts receivable"&gt;24&lt;/span&gt;,

The Company also derecognized its financial liability related to the guarantee granted to CSP, leading to a gain of US$37 recorded as
&#x201c;Equity results and other results in associates and joint ventures&#x201d; for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023.&lt;/p&gt;

LLC (&#x201c;VOPC&#x201d;) &#x2013;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; In February 2023, OQ Group exercised its option to sell its 30% noncontrolling interest held
in VOPC, a subsidiary consolidated by the Company. In April 2023, the Company completed the transaction and acquired the minority interest
for US$130, resulting in a gain of US$3, recorded in equity as of June 30, 2023, as &#x201c;Acquisitions and disposals of noncontrolling
interests&#x201d;, since it resulted from a transaction between shareholders. Upon closing, Vale owns 100% of VOPC's share capital.&lt;/p&gt;

Rio do Norte S.A. (&#x201c;MRN&#x201d;) &#x2013;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; In April 2023, Vale signed a binding agreement with Ananke Alumina S.A. to sell
its 40% stake in MRN, which has been impaired in full since 2021. Under the terms of the agreement, Vale will pay US$93 to the buyer due
to certain remaining commitments. Therefore, the Company recognized a provision for that amount with the corresponding impact in the income
statement for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, as &#x201c;Equity results and other results in associates and joint ventures&#x201d;.
The completion of the transaction is expected for 2024, subject to customary regulatory approvals.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;During the first quarter of 2022, the Company classified the assets and liabilities related to the Midwestern System as held
for sale due to the negotiations with interested parties in Vale&#x2019;s iron ore, manganese and logistics assets in the Midwestern System.
These negotiations resulted in the execution of a binding agreement with J&amp;amp;F Minera&#xe7;&#xe3;o Ltda. (&#x201c;J&amp;amp;F&#x201d;),
which was signed in April 2022.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; text-align: justify; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0"&gt;The carrying amount of those assets were
fully impaired in past years and the Company had a liability related to take-or-pay logistics contracts in the amount of US$&lt;span id="xdx_907_ecustom--ContractsInAmount_pn6n6_c20220101__20220331_zb9I6RQLS7ll" title="Contracts in the amount"&gt;902&lt;/span&gt; that were
deemed onerous contracts under the Company&#x2019;s business model for the Midwestern System, which had negative net assets of US$&lt;span id="xdx_903_ecustom--NetAssets_iI_pn6n6_c20220331_ziuclLo4iYlj" title="Net assets"&gt;892&lt;/span&gt; before
the reclassification to &#x201c;Non-current assets and liabilities held for sale&#x201d; on March 31, 2022.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; text-align: justify; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0"&gt;These offers received during the sale
process of the assets represented an objective evidence of impairment reversal and required the remeasurement of the existing provision,

Discontinued operations (Coal)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span style="color: teal"&gt;-&lt;/span&gt; In June 2021, in preparation for a sale of the coal operation
in connection with the sustainable mining strategic agenda, the Company carried out a corporate reorganization by acquiring the interests
held by Mitsui in the coal assets, which consist of Moatize mine and the Nacala Logistics Corridor (&#x201c;NLC&#x201d;).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 7pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal"&gt;In December 2021, the Company
entered into a binding agreement with Vulcan Resources for the sale of coal assets. According to the sale agreement, Vulcan has committed

and so, any gain will be recognized as incurred due to the nature and uncertainties related to the measurement of these royalties. To

&lt;p style="font: 7pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal"&gt;Therefore, the Company adjusted
the net assets of the coal business to the fair value less cost of disposal, which resulted in an impairment loss of US$&lt;span id="xdx_908_eifrs-full--GainLossRecognisedOnMeasurementToFairValueLessCostsToSellOrOnDisposalOfAssetsOrDisposalGroupsConstitutingDiscontinuedOperation_pn6n6_c20210101__20211231__ifrs-full--ContinuingAndDiscontinuedOperationsAxis__ifrs-full--DiscontinuedOperationsMember_zIZWWbF1zuk" title="Gain from disposals of non-current assets"&gt;2,511&lt;/span&gt; and started

United Kingdom, announced the discontinuation of the LIBOR rate for all terms in pounds, euros, Swiss francs, yen and for terms of one
week and two months in dollars at the end of December 2021 and the other terms at the end of June 2023. Vale has finalized the negotiations
for the replacement of the reference interest rate of its financial contracts from LIBOR to Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"),
with spread adjustments to match the transaction costs. The Company does not expect material impacts on the cash flows of these operations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

United Kingdom, announced the discontinuation of the LIBOR rate for all terms in pounds, euros, Swiss francs, yen and for terms of one
week and two months in dollars at the end of December 2021 and the other terms at the end of June 2023. Vale has finalized the negotiations
for the replacement of the reference interest rate of its financial contracts from LIBOR to Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"),
with spread adjustments to match the transaction costs. The Company does not expect material impacts on the cash flows of these operations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;p style="font: bold 11pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; color: #007E7A; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In January 2019, a tailings dam (&#x201c;Dam I&#x201d;) experienced
a failure at the C&#xf3;rrego do Feij&#xe3;o mine, in the city of Brumadinho, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The failure released
a flow of tailings debris, destroying some of Vale&#x2019;s facilities, affecting local communities and disturbing the environment. The
tailings released have caused an impact of around 315 km in extension, reaching the nearby Paraopeba River. The dam failure in Brumadinho
(&#x201c;event&#x201d;) resulted in 270 fatalities or presumed fatalities, including 3 victims still missing, and caused extensive property
and environmental damage in the region.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;On February 4, 2021, the Company entered into a Judicial Settlement
for Integral Reparation (&#x201c;Global Settlement&#x201d;), which was under negotiations since 2019, with the State of Minas Gerais, the
Public Defender of the State of Minas Gerais and the Federal and the State of Minas Gerais Public Prosecutors Offices, to repair the environmental
and social damage resulting from the Dam I rupture. The Global Settlement was ratified by the Minas Gerais State Court on February 4,
2021, and the res judicata was drawn up on April 7, 2021.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;As a result of the dam failure, the Company has been recognizing
provisions to meet its assumed obligations, including indemnification to those affected by the event, remediation of the impacted areas
and compensation to the society, as shown below:&lt;/p&gt;

expenses, net&#x201d; (note 5c), in relation to tailings management, humanitarian assistance, payroll, legal services, water supply, among
others. In the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred expenses in the amount of US$&lt;span id="xdx_90A_ecustom--ExpenseIncurredInConnectionWithDamFailureInBrumadinhoEvent_pn6n6_c20230101__20230630_zXlqk3bof61l" title="Expense incurred in relation to Brumadinho event"&gt;242&lt;/span&gt; (2022: US$&lt;span id="xdx_909_ecustom--ExpenseIncurredInConnectionWithDamFailureInBrumadinhoEvent_pn6n6_c20220101__20220630_zEpSVwYp6hhk" title="Expense incurred in relation to Brumadinho event"&gt;277&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;p id="xdx_8AD_zrkc1Ym8ILj7" style="font: 8pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;a) Global Settlement for Brumadinho&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Global settlement includes: (i) payment obligations, of
which the funds will be used directly by the State of Minas Gerais and Institutions of Justice for socio-economic and socio-environmental
compensation projects; (ii) socioeconomic projects in Brumadinho and other municipalities; and (iii) compensation of the environmental
damage caused by the dam failure. These obligations are projected for an average period of 5 years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;For the measures (i) and (ii), the agreement specifies an amount
for each project and changes in the original budget and deadlines may have an impact in the provision. In addition, the execution of the
environmental recovery actions has no cap limit despite having been estimated in the Global Settlement due to the Company's legal obligation
to fully repair the environmental damage caused by the dam failure. The expenses related to these obligations are deducted from the income
tax calculation, in accordance with the Brazilian tax regulation, which is subject to periodic inspection by the competent authorities.
Therefore, although Vale is monitoring this provision, the amount recorded could materially change depending on several factors that are
not under the Company&#x2019;s control.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;b) Provision for individual indemnification
and other commitments &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Company is also working to ensure geotechnical safety of
the remaining structures at the C&#xf3;rrego do Feij&#xe3;o mine, in Brumadinho, and the removal and proper disposal of the tailings
of Dam I, including dredging part of the released material and de-sanding from the channel of the river Paraopeba.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;For the individual indemnification, Vale and the Public Defendants
of the State of Minas Gerais formalized an agreement on April 5, 2019, under which those affected by the Brumadinho&#x2019;s dam failure
may join an individual or family group out-of-Court settlement agreements for the indemnification of material, economic and moral damages.
This agreement establishes the basis for a wide range of indemnification payments, which were defined according to the best practices
and case law of Brazilian Courts, following rules and principles of the United Nations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&#160;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;c) Contingencies and other legal matters&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Public civil actions brought by the State
of Minas Gerais and state public prosecutors for damages resulting from the failure of Dam I&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Company is party to public civil actions brought by the
State of Minas Gerais and justice institutions, claiming compensation for socioeconomic and socio-environmental damages resulting from
the dam failure and seeking a broad range of preliminary injunctions ordering Vale to execute specific remediation and reparation actions.
As a result of the Global Settlement, settled in February 2021, the requests for the reparation of
socio-environmental and socioeconomic damages caused by the dam failure were substantially resolved. Indemnifications for individual damages
was excluded from the Global Settlement, and the Term of Commitment signed with the Public Defendants of the State of Minas Gerais was
ratified, whose parameters are utilized as a basis for the settlement of individual agreements. In the same year of 2021, the fulfilment
of the Global Settlement was initiated, by Vale and other parties.&lt;/p&gt;






&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Collective Labor Civil Action&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In 2021, public civil actions were filed with Labor Court of
Betim in the State of Minas Gerais, by a workers' unions claiming the compensation for death damages to own and outsourced employees,
who died as a result of the failure of Dam I. Initial decisions sentenced Vale to pay US$&lt;span id="xdx_906_ecustom--PayablesToLabors_iI_pn3n3_c20211231_zLqPcnVhCo8c" title="Paid to labors"&gt;208&lt;/span&gt; thousand (R$&lt;span id="xdx_901_ecustom--PayablesToLabors_iI_pn6n6_uBRL_c20211231_z3UPMrvkjc8" title="Paid to labors"&gt;1&lt;/span&gt; million) per fatality. In June
2023, the Superior Labor Court ruled the lawsuit filed by workers&#x2019; union, sustaining the initial decision that condemned Vale. The
Company is defending itself in the lawsuits and considers that the likelihood of loss is possible.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;U.S. Securities class action suit&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&#160;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Vale is defending itself against a class action brought before
a Federal Court in New York and filed by holders of securities - American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") - issued by Vale. Following
the decision of the Court, in May 2020, that denied the Motion to Dismiss presented by the Company, the Discovery phase has started and
is expected to be concluded in 2024.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;On November 24, 2021, a new complaint was filed before the
same Court by eight Plaintiffs, all investment funds, as an &#x201c;opt-out&#x201d; litigation from the class action already pending in
the Eastern District of New York court, asserting virtually the same allegations in the main class action.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The likelihood of loss of these proceedings is considered possible.
However, considering the initial phase of this class action, it is not yet possible to reliably estimate the amount of a potential loss.
The amount of damages sought in these claims is unspecified.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Arbitration proceedings filed by minority
shareholders and a class association&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&#160;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In Brazil, Vale is named as a defendant in (i) one arbitration
filed by 385 minority shareholders, (ii) two arbitrations filed by a class association allegedly representing all Vale&#x2019;s noncontrolling
shareholders, and (iii) three arbitrations filed by foreign investment funds.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In the six proceedings, the claimants argue that Vale was aware
of the risks associated with the dam and failed to disclose it to its shareholders. Based on such argument, they claim compensation for
losses caused by the decrease in share price.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The expectation of loss is classified as possible for the six
procedures and, considering the initial phase, it is not possible at this time to reliably estimate the amount of a possible loss.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In one of the proceedings filed by foreign funds, the Claimants
initially estimated the amount of the alleged losses would be approximately US$&lt;span id="xdx_90B_ecustom--EstimatedLossOnLegalProceedings_pn6n6_c20230101__20230630__ifrs-full--ClassesOfContingentLiabilitiesAxis__custom--ArbitrationProceedingsInBrazilFiledByShareholdersAndClassAssociationProceedingOneMember_z1SW9wTvhzke" title="Estimated Loss on Legal Proceedings"&gt;374&lt;/span&gt; (R$&lt;span id="xdx_901_ecustom--EstimatedLossOnLegalProceedings_pn6n6_uBRL_c20230101__20230630__ifrs-full--ClassesOfContingentLiabilitiesAxis__custom--ArbitrationProceedingsInBrazilFiledByShareholdersAndClassAssociationProceedingOneMember_zN8O7jty871" title="Estimated Loss on Legal Proceedings"&gt;1,800&lt;/span&gt; million). In another proceeding filed by foreign
funds, the Claimants initially estimated the amount of the alleged losses would be approximately US$&lt;span id="xdx_907_ecustom--EstimatedLossOnLegalProceedings_c20230101__20230630__ifrs-full--ClassesOfContingentLiabilitiesAxis__custom--ArbitrationProceedingsInBrazilFiledByShareholdersAndClassAssociationProceedingTwoMember_pn6n6" title="Estimated Loss on Legal Proceedings"&gt;809&lt;/span&gt; (R$&lt;span id="xdx_902_ecustom--EstimatedLossOnLegalProceedings_pn6n6_uBRL_c20230101__20230630__ifrs-full--ClassesOfContingentLiabilitiesAxis__custom--ArbitrationProceedingsInBrazilFiledByShareholdersAndClassAssociationProceedingTwoMember_zUhMr2EHKqv7" title="Estimated Loss on Legal Proceedings"&gt;3,900&lt;/span&gt; million). The Company
disagrees with the ongoing proceedings and understands that, in this case and at the current stage of the proceedings, the probability
of loss in the amount claimed by the foreign funds is remote.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Securities and Exchange Commission (&#x201c;SEC&#x201d;)
and investigations conducted by the CVM&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&#160;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;On April 28, 2022, the SEC filed a lawsuit against Vale in
the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, alleging that certain Vale&#x2019;s disclosures related to dam safety management
prior to the dam failure in Brumadinho violated U.S. securities laws. On March 28, 2023, Vale reached a settlement with the SEC to fully
resolve this litigation. Under the agreement, without admitting or denying the settled claims, Vale will make payments totaling US$&lt;span id="xdx_90B_ecustom--TotalPayments_pn6n6_c20220427__20220428_zRI2aY7NIok8" title="Total payments"&gt;56&lt;/span&gt;,
which are provided by Vale. The settlement resolves the litigation without judgment on the claims based upon intentional or reckless fraud.
In April 2023, the settlement was approved by the court.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;CVM is also conducting investigations relating to Vale's disclosure
of relevant information to shareholders, investors and the market in general, especially regarding the conditions and management of Vale's
dams. The likelihood of loss of this proceeding is classified as possible and it is not yet possible to reliably estimate the amount of
a potential loss to the Company.&lt;/p&gt;






&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Criminal proceedings and investigations&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&#160;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In January 2020, the State Prosecutors of Minas Gerais (&#x201c;MPMG&#x201d;)
filed criminal charges against 16 individuals (including former executive officers of Vale and former employees) for a number of potential
crimes, including homicide, and against Vale S.A. for alleged environmental crimes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In November 2021, the Brazilian Federal Police concluded the
investigation on potential criminal responsibility related with the Brumadinho dam failure and the final report sent to the Federal Public
Prosecutors (&#x201c;MPF&#x201d;).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In January 2023, after the Federal Supreme Court recognized
the competence of the Federal Court, the MPF ratified the complaint presented by MPMG, which was received by the competent authority.
The MPF and the Brazilian Federal Police conducted a separate investigation into the causes of the dam failure in Brumadinho, which may
result in new criminal proceedings. Vale is defending itself against the criminal claims and is not possible to estimate when a decision
will be issued. The likelihood of a financial loss to the Company is classified as possible and it is not yet possible to reliably estimate
the amount of a potential loss to Vale.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Decision of the Brazilian Office of the
Comptroller General of the Union (&#x201c;CGU&#x201d;) &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In October 2020, the CGU notified the Company about an administrative
proceeding prosecution based on the same allegations mentioned above under the Brazilian Law 12,846/2013 in connection with inspection
and monitoring activities related to the Brumadinho dam. In August 2022, the CGU concluded that Vale has failed to present reliable information
to the Brazilian National Mining Agency (&#x201c;ANM&#x201d;), as once a positive stability condition statement (&#x201c;DCE&#x201d;) was
issued for the Dam I, where it should be negative in the view of the CGU. Thus, even recognizing the non-existence of corruption acts
or practices, the CGU fined Vale US$&lt;span id="xdx_901_ecustom--EstablishedOfMinimumAmount_iI_pn6n6_c20201031_zJp9m4mORK4f" title="Established of minimum amount"&gt;18&lt;/span&gt; (R$&lt;span id="xdx_901_ecustom--EstablishedOfMinimumAmount_iI_pn6n6_uBRL_c20201031_z0sm87iDoNl3" title="Established of minimum amount"&gt;86&lt;/span&gt; million), which is the minimum amount established by law, i.e., the CGU recognizes the non-involvement
or tolerance of the Company&#x2019;s top management. Vale has submitted a request for reconsideration and considers the likelihood of loss
for this amount is possible.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Company is negotiating with insurers the payment of indemnification
under its civil liability and Directors and Officers Liability Insurance. The Company received US$&lt;span id="xdx_906_ecustom--InsurersAmounReceived_iI_pn6n6_c20230630_zTSj94zuhIi2" title="Insurers amoun received"&gt;11&lt;/span&gt; from insurers for the six-month period

Samarco dam failure&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In November 2015, the Fund&#xe3;o tailings dam owned by Samarco
Minera&#xe7;&#xe3;o S.A. (&#x201c;Samarco&#x201d;) experienced a failure, releasing mine tailings downstream, flooding certain communities
and impacting communities and the environment along the Doce River. The dam failure resulted in 19 fatalities and caused property and
environmental damage to the affected areas. Samarco is a joint venture equally owned by Vale S.A. and BHP Billiton Brasil Ltda. (&#x2018;&#x2018;BHPB&#x2019;&#x2019;).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In 2016, Vale, Samarco and BHPB, entered into a Framework Agreement
with the Federal Government of Brazil, the states of Esp&#xed;rito Santo and Minas Gerais and certain other public authorities to establish
the Renova Foundation that is developing and executing environmental and socio-economic programs to remediate and provide compensation
for damage caused by the Samarco dam failure.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In June 2018, Samarco, Vale and BHPB entered into a comprehensive
agreement with the offices of the federal and state (Minas Gerais and Esp&#xed;rito Santo) prosecutors, public defenders and attorney
general, among other parties (&#x201c;TacGov Agreement&#x201d;), improving the governance mechanism of Renova Foundation and establishing,
among other things, a process for potential revisions to the remediation programs under the Framework Agreement.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Under the Framework Agreement, Samarco has primary responsibility
for funding Renova Foundation&#x2019;s annual calendar year budget for the duration of the Framework Agreement. However, to the extent
that Samarco does not meet its funding obligations, Vale and BHPB have secondary funding obligations under the Framework Agreement in
proportion to their 50 per cent shareholding in Samarco.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Samarco began to gradually recommence operations in December
2020, however, there remains significant uncertainty regarding Samarco&#x2019;s long-term cash flow generation.&lt;/p&gt;

of Samarco&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In April 2021, Samarco filed for Judicial Reorganization (&#x201c;JR&#x201d;)
with the Courts of Minas Gerais.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In May 2023, Vale S.A. entered into a binding agreement jointly
with BHPB, Samarco and certain creditors which hold together more than 50% of Samarco's debt, setting the parameters of Samarco&#x2019;s
debt restructuring to be implemented through a consensual restructuring plan (&#x201c;Agreement&#x201d;), subject for approval by the creditors
and to be confirmed by the JR court. The plan aims to establish an independent and sustainable financial position for Samarco by resuming
its high-quality pellets production, allowing Samarco to comply with its socio-environmental obligations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Under the Agreement, the payments to the financial creditors
will be made from 2024 to 2030, in line with Samarco's operational ramp-up and cash flow generation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Agreement also provides that additional cash demands that
exceed these payments will be made to Funda&#xe7;&#xe3;o Renova through capital contributions to Samarco. The contributions have been
carried out directly by Vale and BHPB to the Renova Foundation on behalf of Samarco and, therefore, they were deemed tax deductible as
incurred, according to the Brazilian tax regulation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Therefore, due to the change in the mechanism to fund Renova,
Vale will no longer be allowed to deduct future payments from its income tax computation as they are not tax deductible in Brazil. Thus,
the deferred income tax asset over the provision in the amount of US$&lt;span id="xdx_90D_ecustom--DeferredIncomeTaxAssets_iI_pn6n6_c20230630_zyWeTTowAnPg" title="Deferred income tax assets"&gt;1,078&lt;/span&gt; was reversed in full, with the corresponding impact in the
income statement for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 recorded as &#x201c;Income taxes&#x201d;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In addition, the Agreement does not require the capitalization
of the expenses of US$&lt;span id="xdx_903_ecustom--CapitalizationOfExpenses_pn6n6_c20220101__20221231_zlXwUfPxX6Ld" title="Capitalization of expenses"&gt;699&lt;/span&gt; (R$&lt;span id="xdx_906_ecustom--CapitalizationOfExpenses_pn6n6_uBRL_c20220101__20221231_zBGuPC1JqYmi" title="Capitalization of expenses"&gt;3,371&lt;/span&gt; million) that were incurred in the past and so, there are no change in relation to the tax treatment
adopted. This matter was disclosed in the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 in the uncertain tax positions
note.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;These proceedings include public civil actions brought by Brazilian
authorities and multiple proceedings involving claims for significant amounts of damages and remediation measures. The Framework Agreements
represents a model for the settlement of the public civil action brought by the MPF and other related proceedings. There are also putative
securities class actions in the USA against Vale and some of its current and former officers and a criminal proceeding in Brazil. The
main updates regarding the lawsuits in the year were as follows:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Public Civil Action filed by the Federal
Government and others and public civil action filed by the Federal Public Ministry ("MPF")&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&#160;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Vale is a defendant in several legal proceedings brought by
governmental authorities and civil associations claiming socioenvironmental and socioeconomic damages and a number of specific remediation
measures as a result of the Samarco&#x2019;s Fund&#xe3;o dam failure, including a claim brought by the Federal Public Prosecution Office
in 2016 seeking US$&lt;span id="xdx_90D_eifrs-full--Revenue_pn9n9_c20230101__20230630__ifrs-full--ClassesOfContingentLiabilitiesAxis__custom--PublicCivilClaimFiledByFederalGovernmentAndOthersMember_z3lH7yHLgyR4" title="Amount claim from federal public"&gt;32&lt;/span&gt; billion (R$&lt;span id="xdx_907_eifrs-full--Revenue_pn9n9_uBRL_c20230101__20230630__ifrs-full--ClassesOfContingentLiabilitiesAxis__custom--PublicCivilClaimFiledByFederalGovernmentAndOthersMember_zjcgMSr8pvRd" title="Amount claim from federal public"&gt;155&lt;/span&gt; billion) (the effect for Vale would be 50% of this amount), which has been suspended from the date
of ratification of the TacGov Agreement.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;However, as pre-requisites established in the TacGov Agreement,
for renegotiation of the Framework Agreement were not implemented during the two-year period ended September 30, 2020, the Brazilian Federal
and State prosecutors and public defenders filed a request for the immediate resumption of the US$&lt;span id="xdx_90B_eifrs-full--Revenue_pn9n9_c20230101__20230630__ifrs-full--ClassesOfContingentLiabilitiesAxis__custom--PublicCivilClaimFiledByFederalGovernmentAndOthersMember__ifrs-full--TypesOfContractsAxis__custom--TacGovAgreementMember_zbNDiAYOCi4d" title="Amount claim from federal public"&gt;32&lt;/span&gt; billion (R$&lt;span id="xdx_903_eifrs-full--Revenue_pn9n9_uBRL_c20230101__20230630__ifrs-full--ClassesOfContingentLiabilitiesAxis__custom--PublicCivilClaimFiledByFederalGovernmentAndOthersMember__ifrs-full--TypesOfContractsAxis__custom--TacGovAgreementMember_z7Mm3dxJjst6" title="Amount claim from federal public"&gt;155&lt;/span&gt; billion) claim.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Therefore, Vale, Samarco, BHPB and Federal and State prosecutors
have been engaging in negotiations to seek a definitive settlement of the obligations under the Framework Agreement and the US$&lt;span id="xdx_90D_eifrs-full--Revenue_pn9n9_c20230101__20230630__ifrs-full--ClassesOfContingentLiabilitiesAxis__custom--PublicCivilClaimFiledByFederalGovernmentAndOthersMember__ifrs-full--TypesOfContractsAxis__custom--FrameworkAgreementMember_za46b8UUpp27" title="Amount claim from federal public"&gt;32&lt;/span&gt; billion
(R$&lt;span id="xdx_909_eifrs-full--Revenue_pn9n9_uBRL_c20230101__20230630__ifrs-full--ClassesOfContingentLiabilitiesAxis__custom--PublicCivilClaimFiledByFederalGovernmentAndOthersMember__ifrs-full--TypesOfContractsAxis__custom--FrameworkAgreementMember_zmSyr9iEyPAa" title="Amount claim from federal public"&gt;155&lt;/span&gt; billion) Federal Public Prosecution Office claim. The goal in signing a potential agreement is to provide a stable framework for
the execution of reparation and compensation programs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The potential agreement is still uncertain as it is subject
to conclusion of the negotiations and approval by the Company, relevant authorities and intervenient parties.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The estimate of the economic impact of a potential agreement
will depend mainly on (i) a detailed assessment of the estimates of the amounts to be spent on the reparation and compensation projects
being discussed, (ii) an analysis of the detailed scope of such projects to determine their overlap with the initiatives and amounts already
provisioned; and (iii) the timing of the execution of projects and disbursements, which will impact the present value of the obligations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Therefore, until any revisions to the Programs are agreed,
Renova Foundation will continue to implement the Programs in accordance with the terms of the Framework Agreement and the TacGov Agreement,
for which the expected costs are reflected in the Company&#x2019;s provision.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Judicial decision requesting cash deposits&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In March 2023, as part of a proceeding related to a potential
increase on the number of territories recognized as affected by the collapse of Samarco&#x2019;s Fund&#xe3;o dam and covered by the TTAC,
a Federal Court issued a decision ordering Vale and BHP Brasil to make judicial deposits in the total amount of US$&lt;span id="xdx_90E_ecustom--DepositsOfTotalAmount_pn8n9_c20230325__20230331_z0TIoOyiPzRh" title="Deposits of total amount"&gt;2.1&lt;/span&gt; billion (R$&lt;span id="xdx_905_ecustom--DepositsOfTotalAmount_pn8n9_uBRL_c20230325__20230331_z1esfAxva4Ai" title="Deposits of total amount"&gt;10.3&lt;/span&gt;
billion), in ten installments, which the effect for Vale would be 50% of this amount. On April 28, 2023, the Federal Court granted the
companies' request for a suspensive effect on the decision that determined this deposit. The Company believes its provisions are sufficient
to comply with the TTAC obligations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Criminal proceedings&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&#160;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In September 2019, the federal court dismissed all criminal
charges against Vale representatives relating to the first group of charges, which concerns the results of the Fund&#xe3;o dam failure,
remaining only the legal entity in the passive pole. The second group of charges against Vale S.A. and one of the Company&#x2019;s employees,
which concerns the accusation of alleged crimes committed against the Environmental Public Administration, remained unchanged. The Company
cannot estimate when a final decision on the case will be issued. The likelihood of a financial loss to the Company is classified as possible
and it is not yet possible to reliably estimate the amount of a potential loss to Vale.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 12pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;United Kingdom contribution claim&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&#160;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;As a result of the rupture of Samarco&#x2019;s Fund&#xe3;o
dam failure, BHP Group Ltd (&#x201c;BHP&#x201d;) was named as defendant in group action claims for damages filed in the courts of England
and Wales (The &#x201c;UK Claim&#x201d;). The UK Claim includes only BHP and was filed on behalf of certain individuals and municipalities
in Brazil only against BHP, for the allegedly damages caused by the Fund&#xe3;o dam failure.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In December 2022, BHP filed a contribution claim against Vale,
requesting the Company to be responsible for the indemnification payments in the proportion to its interest held in Samarco. The Company
believes that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of the English Court and it does not have any contractual obligation in relation to

dam structures and asset retirement obligations&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: teal"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Company is subject to local laws and regulations, that
requires the decommissioning of the assets and mine sites that Vale operates at the end of their useful lives, therefore, expenses for
demobilization occur predominantly after the end of operational activities. Depending on the geotechnical characteristics of the structures,
the Company is required to de-characterize the structures, as shown in item a) below.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #00807A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Laws and regulations related to dam safety&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In September 2020, the Federal Government enacted Law no. 14.066,
which modified the National Dam Safety Policy (Law no. 12,334/2020), reinforcing the prohibition of constructing and raising upstream
dams in Brazil. The law also requires companies to de-characterize the structures built using the upstream method by 2022, or by a later
date if it is proven that the de-characterization is not technically feasible by 2022. As made available to competent bodies, a substantial
part of the Company's de-characterization projects will be completed in a period exceeding the date established in the legislation due
to the characteristics and safety levels of the Company's geotechnical structures.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Thus, in February 2022, the Company filed with the relevant
bodies a request for an extension to perform the projects and, as a result, signed a Term of Commitment establishing legal and technical
certainty for the process of de-characterization of the upstream dams, considering that the deadline defined was technically unfeasible,
especially due to the necessary actions to increase safety during the works. With the signing of the agreement, the Company recorded an
additional provision of US$&lt;span id="xdx_900_eifrs-full--AdditionalProvisionsOtherProvisions_pn6n6_c20220227__20220228__ifrs-full--JointVenturesAxis__custom--SamarcoMineraoS.A.Member_zI5SU2uZHP2f" title="Additional provision"&gt;37&lt;/span&gt; to make investments in social and environmental projects over a period of 8 years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; text-align: justify; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0"&gt;In December 2022,
the Federal Government published decree no. 11,310, which regulates dispositions of the National Dam Safety Policy, regulates dam supervision
activities, establishes the competence to regulate the extension of the self-rescue zone for authorities acting in dam emergency situations,
and presents guidelines on technical reports regarding the causes of a breach and other aspects of management of geotechnical structures.
This decree also determined that companies must present guarantees for dams in an alert situation, however, the procedures for measuring
and executing these guarantees are still being discussed by the responsible public agencies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; text-align: justify; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0"&gt;In February 2023,
ANM issued a resolution that modifies the current dam safety regulation. The main changes are new rules in connection with the active
and passive monitoring during the de-characterization of dams, the simplified dam collapse study and simplified emergency action plan
for specific cases, and the dam safety plan (&#x201c;PSB&#x201d;). The Company believes its provisions are sufficient to comply with the
effective legal obligations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; text-align: justify; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0"&gt;Thus, depending
on the development of these laws, the provisions registered by the Company may be materially impacted in future periods.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: bold 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; color: #00807A; text-align: justify"&gt;a) De-characterization of upstream and
centerline geotechnical structures&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;As a result of the Brumadinho dam failure (note 22) and, in
compliance with Law 14,066, the Company has decided to speed up the plan to &#x201c;de-characterize&#x201d; of all its tailings dams built
under the upstream method, certain &#x201c;centerline structures&#x201d; and dikes, located in Brazil. The Company also operates tailings
dams in Canada, including upstream compacted dams. However, the Company decided that these dams will be decommissioned using other methods,
thus, the provision to carry out the decommissioning of dams in Canada is recognized as &#x201c;Obligations for decommissioning assets
and environmental obligations&#x201d;, as presented in item (b) below.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;These structures are in different stages of maturity, some
of them still in the conceptual engineering phase, for which the estimate of expenditures includes in its methodology a high degree of
uncertainty in the definition of the total cost of the project in accordance with best market practices.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The cash flow for de-characterization projects are estimated
for a period up to 13 years and were discounted at present value at a rate, which reduced from 6.16% to 5.72%. Changes in the provisions
are as follows:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Company has long-term reward mechanisms that include the
Matching Program and the Performance Shares Units (&#x201c;PSU&#x201d;) for eligible executives, whose objective is to encourage the permanence
of employees and stimulate performance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The fair value of the programs is recognized on a straight-line
