Iron ore

 

In 2H19, sales of iron ore totaled 150.9 Mt out of which 106.0 Mt correspond to the sales volumes in the Northern System. Sales of Vale’s iron ore, net of maritime freight costs, totaled R$ 44.0 billion in 2H19, out of which R$ 31.6 billion correspond to the Northern System. After applying the discounts provided in the Deed of Debentures to calculate the net revenues, among which R$ 2.8 billion are related to transportation expenses, and the percentage of 1.8%, the value of the remuneration related to net revenues of iron ore from the Northern System is R$ 499.1 million.

1 Gross sales minus expenses with transport and insurance and taxes on sales, which include taxes and contributions levied on sales separately, or on billing or gross revenues from sales, as well as the financial compensation due to the Brazilian Federal Government, States and Municipalities.

 

In Vale’s Southeastern System, iron ore sales from the mineral deposits covered by the Private Deed for Shareholder Debentures totaled 1.445 billion metric tons until December 31st, 2019. It is expected that the cumulative sales volume of 1.7 billion metric tons, from which the sales of the Southeastern System are entitled to payment of the premium, will be achieved in June 2024, if annual sales of this System, covered by the Deed for Shareholder Debentures, remain equal to the sales volume of the last 12 months, ending in 2H19. It is important to note that this forecast may not be confirmed due to the impacts resulting from the rupture of the Dam I in Brumadinho.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Copper concentrate

 

In 2H19, sales of copper concentrate from Sossego totaled 94 thousand metric tons, 37.7% lower than the 151 thousand metric tons in the previous semester.

 

Sales of this product generated net revenues of R$ 553.1 million, a 38.2% decrease when compared to the R$ 895.4 million in the previous semester.

 

The remuneration related to the sales of copper concentrate of R$ 6,913,821.52, is calculated from the application of the 1.25% percentage on the net sales revenue of R$ 553.1 million.

2 On April 15, 1997, Vale only had a 50% stake in Mineração Serra do Sossego S.A. (Sossego). In 2001 Vale bought the remaining 50% of Sossego from Phelps Dodge do Brasil Mineração Ltda. Hence, the percentage basis for calculating remuneration is 2.5%, as described in the Deed of Issue of Debentures, multiplied by the Vale’s share in the project at the time, 50%, and therefore, equal to 1.25%.
