expressed below, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to the originals of
all documents submitted to us as copies. In addition, we have assumed and have not verified the accuracy as to factual matters of each
document we have reviewed and that the Notes will be duly authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 1in">Based on the foregoing, and
subject to the further assumptions and qualifications set forth below, it is our opinion that, when the Indenture, the Notes and the Guaranty
have been duly executed and delivered by Vale Overseas and Vale in the forms thereof that we have examined and the Notes have been duly
delivered to and paid for by the purchasers thereof in the manner described in the Registration Statement, the Notes will be valid, binding
and enforceable obligations of Vale Overseas, entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, and the Guaranty will be a valid, binding and
enforceable obligation of Vale, entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 1in">Insofar as the foregoing
opinion relates to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any agreement or obligation of Vale or Vale Overseas, (a) we have
assumed that each of Vale and Vale Overseas, as the case may be, and each other party to such agreement or obligation has satisfied those
legal requirements that are applicable to it to the extent necessary to make such agreement or obligation enforceable against it (except
that no such assumption is made as to Vale or Vale Overseas regarding matters of the federal law of the United States of America or the
law of the State of New York that in our experience normally would be applicable to general business entities in relation to transactions
of the type contemplated in the Indenture and the Securities), (b) such opinions are subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and
similar laws affecting creditors&#8217; rights generally and to general principles of equity and (c) such opinions are subject to the
effect of judicial application of foreign laws or foreign governmental actions affecting creditors&#8217; rights.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 1in">We express no opinion as
to the subject matter jurisdiction of any United States federal court to adjudicate any action relating to the Securities where jurisdiction
based on diversity of citizenship under 28 U.S.C. &sect; 1332 does not exist.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 1in">In addition, we note that
(a) the enforceability in the United States of the waiver in Section 1.14 of the Base Indenture by each of Vale and Vale Overseas of any
immunities from court jurisdiction and from legal process is subject to the limitations imposed by the U.S. Foreign Sovereign Immunities
Act of 1976 and (b) the designation in Section 1.14 of the Base Indenture of the U.S. federal courts located in the Borough of Manhattan,
city of New York as the venue for actions or proceedings relating to the Base Indenture and the Securities is (notwithstanding the waiver
in Section 1.14) subject to the power of such courts to transfer actions pursuant to 28 U.S.C. &sect; 1404(a) or to dismiss such actions
or proceedings on the grounds that such a federal court is an inconvenient forum for such actions or proceedings.</P>
