Vale S.A. reports a key safety milestone at its tailings dams. The emergency level of the Forquilha III dam at the Fábrica mine in Ouro Preto has been reduced from level 3 to level 2 by decision of the Brazilian National Mining Agency, meaning Vale no longer has any dams classified at emergency level 3 in its portfolio.
Management highlights that this reduction follows new field and laboratory data, studies and improved instrumentation, and that all of Vale’s tailings dams now comply with the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management. The Forquilha III dam is included in Vale’s Upstream Dam Decharacterization Program, with decharacterization works scheduled to begin in 2026; since 2019, 17 of the 30 structures in this program have already been decharacterized. Vale emphasizes ongoing 24/7 monitoring through its Geotechnical Monitoring Center and continued investment in governance and technology to improve dam safety.
