<P STYLE="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555">Rio de Janeiro, November 24<SUP>th</SUP>, 2023
- Vale SA (&ldquo;Vale&rdquo; or &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) announces that, in a decision published this Friday, the English Court of Appeal
has dismissed Vale&rsquo;s application for permission to appeal against the Court's jurisdiction to hear the contribution claim brought
against the Company by BHP. It is important to clarify that the merits of this claim have not yet been heard or determined.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555">In the contribution claim, BHP is seeking a
pro rata financial share from the Company in the event that BHP is ordered to make a payment in the class action lawsuit filed in the
UK over the collapse of Samarco&rsquo;s Fund&atilde;o dam in 2015.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555">Vale, as a shareholder of Samarco, believes
that the solutions created by the agreements in Brazil, in particular the &quot;TTAC&quot;, are capable of addressing the claims in the
foreign lawsuit.</P>
