Vale S.A. reports that its subsidiary Vale Base Metals has successfully started operating the second electric furnace at the Onça Puma site in Brazil. The new furnace adds 15 thousand tonnes per year to production capacity, bringing the site’s nominal capacity to 40 thousand tonnes per year.
The rebuild project was completed on schedule with an investment of approximately US$ 480 million, which the company states was 13% below budget.

Vale S.A. reports the semiannual premium to holders of its participating debentures for the first half of 2025. Vale will pay R$598,341,134.23, equal to R$1.539897539 per participating debenture, with the payment date on September 30, 2025 and financial settlement on October 1, 2025. This compares with R$759,806,078.56, or R$1.955445554 per debenture, in the second half of 2024.
The 1H25 premium is mainly driven by iron ore, which contributes R$573,064,234.30, calculated as 1.8% of net revenues from iron ore products in designated mining areas. Copper concentrate from the Sossego mine adds R$25,181,899.93, based on 1.25% of net revenues, and R$95,000.00 comes from the sale of eight mining-right areas in the Cachoeiro Block.
Vale explains that these debentures are financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss and that premiums are paid semiannually based on net revenues from specified mining rights. Income tax will be levied on the amounts paid according to each debenture holder’s tax status under Brazilian law.
Vale S.A. submitted an amended Form 6-K as a foreign private issuer for September 2025, noting its Analyst & Investor Tour 2025 held in Minas Gerais on September 10, 2025. The filing confirms Vale reports under Form 20-F and is signed by Director of Investor Relations Thiago Lofiego.

It details procedures for handling conflicts of interest, regular performance meetings with business leaders, annual individual performance evaluations by the Board, and interaction with the Board, Fiscal Council, advisory committees, and risk committees. The regulations take effect on approval and will be reviewed at least every five years.

Vale S.A. reports that it has completed the establishment of its joint venture in Aliança Geração de Energia S.A. with Global Infrastructure Partners after all required regulatory consents and approvals were obtained. Through this transaction, Vale received approximately US$ 1 billion in cash and now holds a 30% stake in the joint venture, while Global Infrastructure Partners holds the remaining 70%.
Aliança Energia will fully consolidate the Sol do Cerrado solar complex and the Risoleta Neves Hydroelectric plant in Minas Gerais, along with six additional hydropower plants in the state and three wind farms in Rio Grande do Norte and Ceará. Vale states that this transaction secures strategic energy volume at competitive costs, with prices set in U.S. dollars without inflation adjustment, and supports maintaining its 100% renewable energy matrix in Brazil.
Vale S.A. reported softer 2Q25 results as lower iron ore prices weighed on its core business, while base metals improved. Net operating revenue was US$ 8.8 billion, down 11% year over year but up 8% from 1Q25. Proforma EBITDA reached US$ 3.4 billion, a 14% decline year over year and 7% increase quarter over quarter, reflecting price pressure partly offset by cost cuts and a weaker Brazilian real.
Attributable net income was US$ 2.1 billion, down 24% from 2Q24 but up 52% versus 1Q25, helped by stronger financial results. Iron Ore Solutions generated adjusted EBITDA of US$ 3.0 billion, 23% lower year over year on a 13% drop in fines prices, even as C1 cash cost fell to US$ 22.2/t, 11% lower year over year.
Energy Transition Metals was a bright spot, with EBITDA of US$ 721 million, up 77% year over year as copper and nickel volumes rose and unit costs and all-in copper and nickel breakevens dropped sharply. Recurring free cash flow was US$ 1.0 billion, up from US$ 197 million a year earlier, though total free cash flow fell to US$ 1.0 billion from US$ 2.8 billion after higher Samarco-related disbursements.
Expanded net debt stood at US$ 17.4 billion as of June 30, 2025, up 19% year over year but US$ 0.8 billion lower quarter over quarter, within Vale’s US$ 10–20 billion target range. The board approved US$ 1.448 billion in interest on capital for payment in September 2025, implying a 7% annualized yield based on Vale’s June 30, 2025 market capitalization. Operationally, the Capanema iron ore project shipped its first cargo, the Bacaba copper project obtained its preliminary license, and commissioning began on the Onça Puma second furnace, supporting future volume and cost initiatives. Vale also highlighted ongoing progress in dam decharacterization and in the Brumadinho and Mariana reparation programs.
Vale S.A. reports it has received the operating license for the Serra Sul +20 Mtpy iron ore project in Brazil from IBAMA, the federal environmental authority. This license allows activities related to the S11D mine’s expansion to move forward, with commissioning expected to begin in the second half of 2026.
The project will expand the S11D mine-plant’s annual capacity by 20 million tons through new mining areas, a new semi-mobile crusher, duplication of the long-distance conveyor belt, and new processing lines. Total estimated investment is US$ 2.8 billion, with 57% financial and 77% physical progress as of July 31, 2025.
Serra Sul (+20 Mtpy), together with Vargem Grande and Capanema, forms part of Vale’s strategic initiatives to sustainably increase iron ore production and improve flexibility in its product portfolio in Brazil.
