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

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt; color: #555555">Rio de Janeiro,
April 10, 2024 &ndash; Following the communication dated April 5, 2024, Vale S.A. (&quot;Vale&quot; or the &quot;Company&quot;) informs
that on April 8 and 9, 2024 representatives from the Minas Gerais State Environmental Foundation, the Minas Gerais Civil Defense, the
municipalities&rsquo; Civil Defenses, the National Mining Agency, and the auditing firm that advises the Minas Gerais Public Prosecutor&rsquo;s
Office met with Vale representatives, including Vale&rsquo;s Chief Technical Officer, in a joint technical session on the anomaly detected
at the Forquilha III dam. On such occasion, together with the Engineer of Record</FONT><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(85,85,85)"><SUP>1
</SUP></FONT><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt; color: #555555">in charge of that structure, Vale proposed an action plan to mitigate the
situation.</FONT></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">The anomaly identified by Vale and reported
to the authorities is the sediment accumulation at the outlet of one of the 131 installed spillways. All the Forquilha III dam monitoring
instruments indicate that the structure&rsquo;s general condition remains unchanged. Vale is committed to taking necessary actions in
the coming days and will keep authorities informed on that regard.</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">The Forquilha III dam is part of Vale's Upstream
Dam De-Characterization Program and had a level 3 emergency protocol activated in 2019. Since 2021, Vale has maintained a containment
structure downstream of the dam, capable of containing its tailings. The structure&rsquo;s self-rescue zone remains evacuated, without
the presence of communities. The company will continue to make every effort to reduce the structure's emergency level until its decharacterization
is complete. Vale prioritizes the safety of its employees and communities with transparent actions.</P>
