ChallengesSustainability

Clean Energy and Materials▪Environmental pressure growing, from both government and public, impactingdemand for commodities (positively and negatively for different minerals, though)

▪New regulations around environment (e.g. carbon abatement), with potential increasein cash cost of marginal producers (hence impacting price of commodities)

Resource Sovereignty▪Governments pushing for higher value addition to ores; potential limits to free trade insome mining concentrates (i.e. in the form of export taxes) and energy intensivemetals

▪ Increasing relevance of Government-controlled companies▪Role of social work likely more critical than ever, as local governments and NGOsincrease their influence, connectedness to each other and power to delay operations

ChallengesHealth & Safety

The main challenges of developing technology focused on health and safety dimensionsare•identification and management of the risk indicators associated with personal safety,property security and environmental management;•implementation of methodologies for qualitative and semi-qualitative analysis of risks tohealth, safety and the environment.

Vale has been reducing its totalinjury rate over the years.

Technology initiatives have been supporting value creationacross Vale businesses over the last years

Screening at NaturalMoisture2009-2010

Geometric CorrectionSimulator2011-2012

Train Simulator2009-2013

Carnalita ProcessingRoute2011-2012

Technologies initiatives played a important role for improving productivity and safety in ouroperations as well as improving project’s capex, environmental impact and licensing complexity

WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO INVEST IN TECHNOLOGY (EXAMPLES)

• Enabled S11D and +40Mtiron ore projects

• Reduced need for tailingdams and water intake

• Increased metal recovery

Enables processingiron ore at naturalmoisture, with noaddition of water,nor need for drying

• Implemented at EFVMsegments

• Increased productivity andreduced risks for railroadsmaintenance

Improves railroadmaintenance throughvirtual reality trainingtool for railroadgeometric correction

• Implemented at Tubarão. SãoLuís by December 2013.

• Allows train dynamicssimulation to improve safetyand accidents investigation

Improves operationand safety throughhigh quality, safetraining

• Enabled Carnalita project• Significant lower energyconsumption

• Reduced mining andprocessing costs

Development of lowcost processing routefor Carnalita potashore processing

Forecast Networking

Provide understanding about existing disarticulation between upper and lower economic circuit,the relationship between different economic dynamics (mercantile / traditional and industrial),migration patterns, city expansion patterns, land use and housing circumstances.

UrbisAmazônia

Ten fully automatic meteorological stations are being installed along the Carajás Railway, Mineand Port.Two hydrological stations are being installed in sites that will enable the monitoring of riversthat affect the Vale logistic and operations.

Incremental innovation“Getting better in the same area"

Digital cameras had a distinctperformance metric. Whileachieving a “good enough”image quality performance, theycaused a disruption in themarket for conventional cameras
