condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position of Vale S.A. and its subsidiaries (the &quot;Company&quot;) as of June
30, 2025, and the related condensed consolidated interim income statement and statement of comprehensive income for the three-month and

interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB).</P>

position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and the related consolidated income statement and statements of comprehensive income,
changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 19, 2025, we expressed
an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed
consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2024, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated
statement of financial position from which it has been derived.</P>

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>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">In December 2021, the Organization
for Economic Co-operation and Development (&#8220;OECD&#8221;) released the Pillar Two model rules to reform international corporate taxation.
Multinational economic groups within the scope of these rules are required to calculate their effective tax rate in each country where
they operate, the &#8220;GloBE effective tax rate&#8221;.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">When the effective GloBE rate of
any entity in the economic group, aggregated by jurisdiction where the group operates, is lower than the minimum rate defined at 15%,
the multinational group must pay a supplementary amount of tax on profit, referring to the difference between its rate effective GloBE
and the minimum tax rate.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">The Company is subject to OECD Pillar
Two model rules in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Indonesia, Japan, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Netherlands, Singapore, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
Therefore, the impacts from Pilar Two are already being considered on the calculation of income tax for these jurisdictions.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">However, the Company does not expect
material impacts on the calculation of income tax or on the financial statements for the current and future periods, from the application of the Pillar Two rules currently in effect.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">The Company applied the relief from
the requirement to recognize and disclose deferred taxes arising from enacted or substantively enacted tax law that implements the Pillar
Two model rule, according to IAS 12 &#8211; Income taxes.</P>

that are recognized in full on the interim tax calculation. Therefore, the effective tax rate in the interim financial statements may
differ from management&#8217;s estimate of the effective tax rate for the year. The reconciliation of the taxes calculated according to

an estimated cash inflow of US$1 billion, net of an estimated reduction of US$0.2 billion in the remaining investment in Alian&ccedil;a

Divestment on PT Vale Indonesia Tbk (&#8220;PTVI&#8221;) &#8211; </B></FONT><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt; color: #242424">In June 2024,
the Company reduced its interests in PTVI in approximately 10.5%. This divestment was carried out through (i) the issuance of PTVI&#8217;s
new shares, thereby diluting Vale in 2.1%, and (ii) by the direct sale of 8.4% of Vale&#8217;s shares to MIND ID. As a result of the transaction,
MIND ID became PTVI's largest shareholder, holding approximately 34.0% of the issued shares, with the Company and SMM holding approximately
33.9% and 11.5%, respectively. The completion of the transaction satisfied a key condition for PTVI to extend its mining license until
2035, with potential extension beyond this period subject to certain requirements.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">With the transaction, Vale received
US$155 for its shares and lost control over PTVI, which was accounted for as an associate under the equity method due to the significant
influence retained by Vale over PTVI.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">In January 2019, a tailings dam (&#8220;Dam
I&#8221;) experienced a failure at the C&oacute;rrego do Feij&atilde;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 and caused extensive property and environmental
damage in the region.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">As a result of the dam failure, the
Company recognized provisions to meet its assumed obligations, including indemnification to those affected by the event, remediation of
the impacted areas and compensation to the society. In addition, the Company has incurred expenses, which have been recognized straight
to the income statement, in relation to tailings management, communication services, humanitarian assistance, payroll, legal services,
water supply, among others.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">In April 2021, Samarco filed for
Judicial Reorganization (&#8220;JR&#8221;) with the Courts of Minas Gerais to renegotiate its debt, which was held by bondholders abroad.
The purpose of JR is to restructure Samarco&#8217;s debts and establish an independent and sustainable financial position, allowing Samarco
to keep working to resume its operations safely and to fulfill its obligations related to the Renova Foundation.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">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, which was approved by the
creditors, submitted to the JR Court in July 2023, and confirmed by the judge in September 2023.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">In December 2023, Samarco&#8217;s
existing US$4.8 billion of financial debt held by creditors was exchanged for approximately US$3.9 billion of long-term unsecured debt,
bearing interest from 2023 to 2031.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">After the execution of the plan,
Samarco has a lean capital structure, in line with its operational ramp-up and cash flow generation. The plan considers the fund of the
reparation and compensation programs capped at US$1 billion from 2024 to 2030, of which US$326 has already been incurred, and additional
contributions after that period due to the Samarco&#8217;s projected cash flows generation.</P>

and asset retirement obligations</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">The Company is subject to local laws
and regulations, that requires the decommissioning of the assets that Vale operates at the end of their useful lives, therefore, expenses
related to the demobilization occur after the end of operational activities and throughout the life of operations through progressive
closures. These obligations are regulated in Brazil at the Federal and State levels by ANM (National Mining Agency) and Environmental
Agencies, respectively. Among the requirements, the closure plans must consider the physical, chemical and biological stability of the
areas and post-closure actions for the period necessary to verify the effectiveness of the decommissioning. These obligations are accrued
and are subject to critical estimates and assumptions applied to the measurement of costs by the Company. Depending on the geotechnical
characteristics of the structures, the Company is required to de-characterize the structures, as shown in item a) below.</P>
