Report on review of quarterly
information
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Vale S.A.
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated and parent company
interim accounting information of Vale S.A. ("Company"), included in the Quarterly Information Form (ITR) for the quarter
ended March 31, 2020, comprising the statement of financial position at that date and the income statement and the statements of
comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month period then ended, and a summary of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information.
Management is responsible for the preparation of the consolidated
and parent company interim accounting information in accordance with the accounting standard CPC 21, Interim Financial Reporting,
of the Brazilian Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC) and International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as well as the presentation of this information in accordance with
the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM), applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Information (ITR).
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim accounting information based on our review.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International
Standards on Reviews of Interim Financial Information (NBC TR 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent
Auditor of the Entity and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity,
respectively). A review of interim information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit
conducted in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance
that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit
opinion.
Conclusion on the interim information
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that
causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated and parent company interim accounting information included in the quarterly
information referred to above has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 and IAS 34 applicable
to the preparation of the Quarterly Information, and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the CVM.

Emphasis of matter
Brumadinho’s dam failure
We draw attention to Note 3 to the consolidated and parent company
interim accounting information that describes the actions taken by the Company and the impacts on the interim accounting information
as a consequence of the Brumadinho’s Dam failure. As disclosed by Management, the Company has incurred costs and recorded
provisions based on its best estimates and assumptions. Given the nature and uncertainties inherent in this type of event, the
amounts recognized and/or disclosed will be reassessed by the Company and may be adjusted significantly in future periods, as new
facts and circumstances become known. Our conclusion is not qualified in relation to this matter.
Other matters
Value added statements
We have also reviewed the consolidated and parent company value
added statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020. These statements are the responsibility of the Company's management,
and are required to be presented in accordance with standards issued by the CVM applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information
(ITR) and are considered supplementary information under IFRS, which do not require the presentation of the value added statement.
These statements have been submitted to the same review procedures described above and, based on our review, nothing has come to
our attention that causes us to believe that they have not been prepared, in all material respects, in a manner consistent with
the consolidated and parent company interim accounting information taken as a whole.

b)
Basis of presentation
The
interim financial statements have been prepared to update users about relevant events and transactions that occurred in the period

accounting estimates and judgements, risk management and measurement methods are the same as those applied when preparing the
last annual financial statements.
The
interim financial statements of the Company and its associates and joint ventures are measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”), which in the case of the Parent Company

These
interim financial statements were authorized for issue on April 28, 2020.
c)
Coronavirus outbreak
The
coronavirus outbreak (“COVID-19”) was first reported on December 30, 2019 and has since spread through various countries,
with reports of multiple fatalities from the virus, including locations where the Company has its main operations.
On
March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 outbreak pandemic. During the month of March 2020, governmental
authorities in various jurisdictions imposed lockdowns or other restrictions to contain the virus, and various businesses suspended
or reduced operations. The final impact on the global economy and financial markets is still uncertain, but is expected to be
significant.

As
the outbreak develops over the regions where Vale’s operations are concentrated, the Company may face workforce related
operational difficulties and may need to adopt contingency measures or eventually suspend operations. A significant portion of
the Company’s revenue is originated from sales made to customers in Asia and Europe, and Vale as well rely on an extensive
logistics and supply chain, including several ports, distribution centers and suppliers that have operations in affected regions.
The Company is closely evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 on its business. Below is a summary of the key impacts on the Company’s
business as at March 31, 2020:
Impairment
and onerous contracts – The Company assessed whether there have been any trigger
events that would require an impairment assessment of its non-financial assets and concluded there have been no changes in the circumstances that would indicate an impairment loss. As the pandemic is still
progressing, the financial impact arising from the COVID-19 on the Company’s cash generating units (“CGU”),
if any, cannot be reliably estimated at this time. Therefore, the major long-term assumptions applied on the preparation of
the cash flow models, such as commodities prices and production levels, remain unchanged for the impairment trigger assessment.
Mozambique,
Coal – In 2019, the Company fully impaired the assets related to this CGU because
the expected yield of metallurgical coal and thermal coal will not be achieved, mostly due to technical issues on the project
and operation of the assets related to this CGU. As a result, the Company has decided to implement a new mining plan and a new
plant strategy to achieve the ramp-up of this asset, which includes shortening the life of mine and completing a plant overhaul.
However, due to travel and equipment transportation restrictions resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak, the Company is revisiting
plans for the Mozambique coal processing plant stoppage.
The
halting of the processing plants’ operations was previously expected to start in the second quarter of 2020 and a new date
is under evaluation. Other than this, the plan for this CGU has not changed and, therefore, no further impact was recognized in
the period ended March 31, 2020.
New
Caledonia, Nickel – The New Caledonian operation experienced issues throughout 2019, mainly in relation to production
and processing of the refined nickel, associated with the challenges of the unique remoteness of the area. Thus, the Company has
started studying alternatives for the operations in New Caledonia, while also considering operational and commercial alternatives
to improve the short-term cash flows of Vale New Caledonia. Based on the revision of the business plan taken in 2019, the Company
has reduced the expected production levels of refined nickel product for remaining useful life of the mine, leading to an impairment
charge of R$10,319 recorded as at December 31, 2019. After the impairment charge, the CGU’s carrying value was R$1,628 at
the year ended December 31, 2019.
Following
the recent developments on the COVID-19 outbreak, the disruption in the global markets could increase the challenges that
have been already faced by the Company to operate this asset in New Caledonia. Management is currently reviewing the business
model in place and studying all options available, including exit alternatives or changes on the production profile. As at
March 31, 2020, the Company believes the impairment model prepared for the year ended December 31, 2019 is still the most
reasonable scenario as the impacts on the long-term assumptions due to the pandemic are still very uncertain and,
accordingly, no additional impairment loss. However, the conclusion of the review and studies referred above may significant
change the approach applied to build the discounted cash flows and as a more detailed analysis of the Company’s
business plan and alternatives progresses, an additional impairment loss may be required in future reporting
periods.
Voisey’s
Bay, Nickel - On March 16, 2020, the Company ramped down the Voisey’s Bay mining operation and placed it on care and
maintenance, as a precaution to avoid exposure to travel helping to protect the health and well-being of Nunatsiavut and Innu
indigenous communities in Labrador in face of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company did not change its plan for this asset and expects
to resume the operation in 2020 and, therefore, impairment losses were not identified in relation to this asset.
Teluk
Rubiah Maritime Terminal (“TRMT”), Iron Ore - On March 24, 2020, the Company temporarily halted its operations
in the TRMT in Malaysia, as the Company is temporarily unable to secure the minimum resources to safely operate the terminal.
During suspension of the operations, vessels heading to TRMT will be redirected and redistributed to blending facilities in China
with no expected impact on production and sales volume in 2020. The Company did not change its plan for this asset and expects
to resume the operation in 2020 and, therefore, impairment losses were not identified in relation to this asset.
Other
assets - The Company did not identify any changes in the circumstances that would indicate an impairment trigger of other
assets. At this time, the outbreak has not caused a significant impact to the Company’s operations, but if it continues
for an extended period of time, the Company’s financial conditions or results of operations in 2020 may be adversely impacted.

Liquidity
– In March 2020, the Company took precautionary measures in order to increase its cash position and preserve financial
flexibility in light of current uncertainty in the global markets resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak. The Company drew down
R$25,994 (US$5 billion) under its revolving credit lines maturing June 2022 R$10,397 (US$2 billion) and December 2024 R$15,597
(US$3 billion) and has discontinued the nickel hedge accounting program by selling the contract options for a total consideration
of R$1,123 (US$ 230 million), of which R$1,074 (US$220 million) was settled during the period ended March 31, 2020.
On
April 1, 2020 (subsequent event), R$500 of the Company's bank accounts, which were restricted due to the Brumadinho event (note
3), were released for humanitarian and social actions against COVID-19 outbreak.
Deferred
taxes – On March 31, 2020, the Indonesian Government issued Government Regulation (“PERPPU-1”) to manage
the economic impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic, which impacts the Indonesian tax policies. The current income tax rate of
25% will be decreased to 22% for fiscal years 2020 and 2021 and further decreased to 20% starting from fiscal year 2022. Therefore,
the Company has remeasured its deferred taxes arising from PT Vale Indonesia Tbk (“PTVI”) considering the substantive
enactment of the new tax rate. As a result, the Company recognized an income tax gain of R$357 (US$ 80 million) as at March
31, 2020.
Fair
value of other assets and liabilities - At this time, the outbreak has not caused any significant impact on the fair value
of the Company’s assets and liabilities. However, abnormally large changes have occurred in the valuation of financial assets
across many markets since the outbreak. The outbreak continues to be uncertain, making it impossible to forecast the final impact
it could have on the economy, and in turn, on the Company’s business, liquidity, and financial position meaning that the
fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities may change in later periods.
Supply
chain – The Company’s supply chain might be significantly impacted by the COVID-19, which would result in suspension
of operations, operation difficulties, and increases in costs and expenses. In addition, the Company has suspended all non-essential
construction works, which could delay the achievement of the expansion plans, revision of operations or resumption of production
capacity. There will be no impact on constructions related to dam safety.
Other
impacts – In 2019, the Company entered into agreements to sell its 25% interest in Henan Longyu and to divest 20% of
its interest in PTVI (note 12). The closing of both transactions was expected in the first quarter of 2020. However, due to the
recent developments of the COVID-19 outbreak, the closing of these transactions has been pushed back to later dates in 2020.

3. Brumadinho
dam failure
On
January 25, 2019, a tailings dam (“Dam I”) failed at the Córrego do Feijão mine, in the city of Brumadinho,
state of Minas Gerais. The failure released a flow of tailings debris, destroying some of Vale’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 (“event”) resulted in 270 fatalities or presumed fatalities.
The
Company has been taking the necessary actions to support the victims and to mitigate and recover the social and environmental
damages resulting from the event. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized in the income
statement R$708 and R$17,315, respectively, to meet its assumed obligations, including de-characterization of the dams, indemnification
and donations to those affected by the event, remediation of the affected areas and compensation to the society.
a)
De-characterization of the dams
On
January 29, 2019, the Company informed the market and Brazilian authorities the decision to speed up the plan to “de-characterize”
all of its tailings dams built under the upstream method (same method as Brumadinho’s dam), located in Brazil. Vale has
developed engineering projects for de-characterization these structures and recognized a provision of the total expected costs
to carry out all projects, including upstream structures, certain “centerline structures” and dikes.
The
changes in the provision for the period ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

b)
Framework Agreements and donations
The
Company has been working together with the authorities and society to remediate the environmental and social impacts of the event.
Therefore, the Company has started negotiations and entered into agreements with the relevant authorities and affected people.
Vale has also developed studies and projects to ensure geotechnical safety of the remaining structures at the Córrego do
Feijão mine, in Brumadinho, and the removal and proper disposal of the tailings, especially alongside the Paraopeba river.
In addition, Vale has set up an exclusive structure for treatment of the rescued animals, enabling emergency care and recovery.

The
total amount of this provision may vary due to the early stage of the ongoing negotiations, timing and scope of the measures currently
being discussed, which are subject to the approval and consent by the relevant authorities.
On April 22, 2020 (subsequent event), was ratified an agreement between Vale and the union to indemnify survivors and workers
that were at the Feijão and Jangada mines on the date of the event. The agreement establishes the payment terms for
material and moral damages, as well as psychological and psychiatric assistance to survivors until January 2022. The provision
for social compensation already considers the estimated amount to comply with this obligation and, therefore, this agreement
is part of the provision as at March 31, 2020.
In
addition, the Company is under negotiations with the Government of the State of Minas Gerais (“GEMG”) and other relevant
authorities for an additional agreement for collective damages indemnification and further compensation for the society and environment.
The goal of Vale with a potential agreement would be to provide a stable legal framework for the execution of reparation and compensation,
with the suspension of the existing civil lawsuits.
The
potential agreement is still very uncertain as it is subject to conclusion of the ongoing negotiations and approval by the Company,
the Government of the State of Minas Gerais, Public Prosecutors and other Authorities and Intervenient parties.
Therefore,
the provisions recorded in these interim financial statements do not include the potential outcome of the current negotiation
as it is not yet possible to reliably estimate an amount or whether the current negotiations will be successful.
The
estimate of the economic impact of a potential agreement will depend on (i) final agreement on the list of reparation and compensation
projects, (ii) a detailed assessment of the estimates of the amounts to be spent on the reparation and compensation projects being
discussed, (iii) an analysis of the detailed scope of such projects to determine their overlap with the initiatives and amounts
already provisioned; and (iv) the timing of the execution of projects and disbursements, which will impact the present value of
the obligations.
Based
on the current terms under discussion, and preliminary estimates subject to the uncertainties listed above, such possible agreement
might result in an additional provision ranging from R$4 billion to R$8 billion. All accounting impacts, if any, will be recorded
in the period an agreement is reached.
c)
Incurred expenses
The
Company has incurred expenses, which do not qualify for provision and have been recognized in the income statement, in the amount
of R$708 and R$392 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. These expenses include communication
services, accommodation and humanitarian assistance, equipment, legal services, water, food aid, taxes, among others.
d)
Operation stoppages
The
Company has suspended some operations due to judicial decisions or technical analysis performed by Vale on it’s upstream
dam structures. The Company recorded a loss in the income statement of R$722 and R$605 for the three-month period ended March
31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, related to the operational stoppage and idle capacity of the ferrous mineral segment. The Company
is working on legal and technical measures to resume all operations at full capacity.

e)
Assets write-off
Following
the event and the decision to speed up the de-characterization of the upstream dams, the Company recognized a loss of R$585 as
“Impairment and disposal of non-current assets” for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 in relation to the
assets write-off of the Córrego do Feijão mine and those related to the other upstream dams in Brazil. In 2020,
the Company did not write-off any asset related to the Brumadinho event.
f)
Contingencies and other legal matters
Vale
is subject to significant contingencies due to the Brumadinho dam failure. Vale has already been named on several judicial and
administrative proceedings brought by authorities and affected people and is currently under investigation. Vale is evaluating
these contingencies and would recognize a provision based on the updates on the stage of these claims.
Following
these contingencies, approximately R$6,572 of the Company's assets are restricted as at March 31, 2020, of which approximately
R$508 of the Company’s bank accounts are restricted and R$6,064 were converted into judicial deposits.
On
April 1, 2020 (subsequent event), the judge of the 2nd Public Finance Court of Belo Horizonte released R$500 from the Company's
restricted bank accounts to be used on actions against COVID-19 outbreak.
For
the Brumadinho event, the Company has additional guarantees in the amount of R$5,677, as at March 31, 2020. The expenses
related to these additional guarantees in the amount of R$10 was recorded as financial expense in the Company's income
statement for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020.
(f.i)
Administrative sanctions
The
Company was notified of the imposition of administrative fines by the Brazilian Institute of the Environment and Renewable Natural
Resources (“IBAMA”), in the amount of R$250, which the Company expects to settle through environmental
projects. Furthermore, the Secretary for Environment – SEMA Brumadinho imposed administrative fines, in the total amount
of R$108. Both amounts are also recorded as at March 31, 2020.
(f.ii)
U.S. Securities class action suits
Vale
and certain of its officers and former officers have been named defendants in civil putative class action suits, under U.S. federal
securities laws, brought before federal courts in New York by holders of our securities. These complaints were consolidated through
an amended complaint brought by the Lead Plaintiff on October 25, 2019 before the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of New York.
The
Lead Plaintiff alleges that we made false and misleading statements or omitted to make disclosures concerning the risks of the
operations of Dam I in the Córrego do Feijão mine and the adequacy of the related programs and procedures. The
Lead Plaintiff has not specified an amount of alleged damages in these actions. On December 13, 2019, the Company made a
motion to dismiss the amended complaint. In January 2020, the lead plaintiff filed an opposition to this motion to dismiss.
On February 21, 2020, Vale filed a reply to the opposition. In March 2020, the lead plaintiff has requested to start the partial
discovery, for which the Company filed an opposition on March 20, 2020. The judge has not issued a decision to date.
Vale
intends to defend against this action and mount a full defense against these claims. Based on the assessment of the Company´s
legal consultants and given its preliminary status, the expectation of loss of this proceeding is classified as possible. However,
given the preliminary status of the action, it is not possible at this time to determine a reliable estimate of the potential
exposure.

g)
Insurance
The
Company is negotiating with insurers under its operational risk and civil liability, but these negotiations are still at a preliminary
stage. Any payment of insurance proceeds will depend on the coverage definitions under these policies and assessment of the amount
of loss. Due to uncertainties, no indemnification to the Company was recognized in Vale’s interim financial statements.
Critical
accounting estimates and judgments
The
measurement of the provision requires the use of significant judgements, estimates and assumptions. The provision reflects the
estimated costs to comply with Vale’s obligation in relation to the event.
The
main critical assumptions and estimates applied in measuring the provision for de-characterization of the dams considers, among
others: (i) volume of the waste to be removed based on historical data available and interpretation of the enacted laws and regulations;
(ii) location availability for the tailings disposal; (iii) acceptance by the authorities of the proposed engineering methods
and solution; and (iv) updates in the discount rate.
The
provision for Framework Agreements and donations may be affected by factors including, but not limited to: (i) changes in laws
and regulations; (ii) changes in the current estimated market price of the direct and indirect cost related to products and services,
(iii) changes in timing for cash outflows, (iv) changes in the technology considered in measuring the provision, (v) number of
individuals entitled to the indemnification payments, (vi) resolution of existing and potential legal claims, (vii) demographic
assumptions, (viii) actuarial assumptions, and (ix) updates in the discount rate.
Therefore,
future expenditures may differ from the amounts currently provided because the realized
assumptions and various other factors are not always under the Company’s control.
These changes to key assumptions could result in a material impact to the amount of the
provision in future reporting periods. At each reporting period, the Company will reassess
the key assumptions used in the preparation of the projected cash flows and will adjust
the provision, if required.

4.
Information by business segment and by geographic area
The
Company operated the following reportable segments during this quarter: Ferrous Minerals, Base Metals and Coal. The segments are
aligned with products and reflect the structure used by Management to evaluate Company’s performance. The responsible bodies
for making operational decisions, allocating resources and evaluating performance are the Executive Boards and the Board of Directors.
The performance of the operating segments is assessed based on a measure of adjusted LAJIDA (EBITDA).
In
2019, due to the Brumadinho dam failure, the Company has created the Special Recovery and Development Board, which is in-charge
of social, humanitarian, environmental and structural recovery measures that are implemented in Brumadinho and other affected
areas. This Board reports to the CEO and is responsible to assess the costs related to the Brumadinho event. These costs are not
directly related to the Company's operating activities and, therefore, were not allocated to any operating segment.
The
Company allocate to “Others” the revenues and cost of other products, services, research and development, investments
in joint ventures and associates of other business and unallocated corporate expenses.
a)
Adjusted LAJIDA (EBITDA)
The
definition of Adjusted LAJIDA (EBITDA) for the Company is the operating income or loss plus dividends received and interest from
associates and joint ventures, and excluding the amounts charged as (i) depreciation, depletion and amortization and (ii) impairment
and disposal of non-current assets.

Provisionally priced commodities sales
– The commodity price risk arises from volatility of iron ore, nickel, copper and coal prices. The Company is mostly
exposed to the fluctuations in the iron ore and copper price. The selling price of these products can be measured reliably at
each period, since the price is quoted in an active market. The final price of these sales will be determined during the second
quarter of 2020.
The sensitivity of the Company’s
risk on final settlement of its provisionally priced accounts receivables are presented below:

(i) In
the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, the positive change refers to the impact of the exchange variation on the foreign
tax loss carryforward.
Income
tax expense is recognized based on the estimate of the weighted average effective tax rate expected for the full year, adjusted
for the tax effect of certain items recognized in full in the interim period. Therefore, the effective tax rate in the interim
financial statement may differ from management’s estimate of the effective tax rate for the annual financial statement.
c)
Income taxes - Settlement program (“REFIS”)
The balance mainly relates to REFIS to
settle most of the claims related to the collection of income tax and social contribution on equity gains of foreign subsidiaries
and affiliates from 2003 to 2012. At March 31, 2020, the balance of R$15,412 (R$1,748 classified as current liabilities and R$13,664
classified as non-current liabilities) is due in 103 remaining monthly installments, bearing the SELIC interest rate (Special
System for Settlement and Custody), which is the Brazilian federal funds rate. As at March 31, 2020, the SELIC rate was 3.75%
per annum.

iii) Credit and financing
lines
To mitigate liquidity risk, Vale has two
revolving credit facilities, in the amount of R$15,597 (US$3 billion) and R$10,397 (US$2 billion), which will mature in 2022 and
2024, respectively. In March 2020, the Company drew down all of its revolving credit facilities in the total amount of R$25,994
(US$5 billion) as a precautionary measure in order to increase its cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of
current uncertainty in the global markets resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak.
iv) Guarantees
As at March 31, 2020 and December 31,
2019, loans and borrowings are secured by property, plant and equipment in the amount of R$936 and R$887, respectively.
The securities issued through Vale’s
wholly-owned finance subsidiary Vale Overseas Limited are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Vale.
v) Covenants
Some of the Company’s debt agreements
with lenders contain financial covenants. The primary financial covenants in those agreements require maintaining certain ratios,
such as debt to EBITDA (Earnings before Interest Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) and interest coverage. The Company has
not identified any instances of noncompliance as at March 31, 2020.
16. Liabilities
related to associates and joint ventures
On November 5, 2015, a rupture occurred
in the Fundão tailings dam, in Mariana (State of Minas Gerais), operated by Samarco Mineração S.A. (“Samarco”),
a joint venture controlled by Vale S.A. and BHP Billiton Brasil Ltda. (“BHP”). In March 2016, Samarco and its shareholders
entered into a Framework Agreement with governmental authorities, in which Samarco, Vale S.A. and BHP agreed to stablish the Fundação
Renova, an entity responsible to develop and implement 42 long-term mitigation and compensation programs. In addition, the Company
has recorded a provision for the de-characterization of the Germano dam during the second quarter of 2019, which was also built
under the upstream method.
On October 25, 2019, Samarco obtained
the Corrective Operation License for its operating activities in the Germano Complex. Following this authorization, Samarco has
obtained all environmental licenses required to restart its operations. Samarco currently expects to restart its operations by
the end of 2020.
The changes in the provision to meet the
obligations under the agreement related to the Fundão dam rupture and to the de-characterization of Germano dam, in the
period ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

Estimates of mitigation and compensation
actions may vary according to the progress of the ongoing programs developed by the Fundação Renova and changes
in scope. The amounts disclosed in these interim financial statements have been determined based on Management's best estimates
and consider the facts and circumstances known to date.
The contingencies related to the Fundão
dam rupture are disclosed in note 21.

Samarco’s working
capital
In addition to the provision, Vale S.A.
made available in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the amount of R$246 (US$56 million) and R$115 (US$30 million),
respectively, which was fully used to fund Samarco’s working capital. This amount was recognized in Vale´s income
statement as an expense in “Equity results and other results in associates and joint ventures”.
During 2020, Vale S.A. may provide a short-term
credit facility up to R$1,388 (US$267 million) to support Samarco’s cash needs, without any binding obligation to Samarco.
The availability of funds by the shareholders – Vale S.A. and BHP – is subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions,
being deliberated by the shareholders, in the same bases and concomitantly, if required.
Under Brazilian legislation and the terms
of the joint venture agreement, Vale does not have an obligation to provide funding to Samarco. Accordingly, Vale’s investment
in Samarco was fully impaired and no provision was recognized in relation to the Samarco’s negative equity.
Critical
accounting estimates and judgments
The provision related to Fundação
Renova requires the use of assumptions that may be mainly affected by: (i) changes in scope of work required under the Framework
Agreement as a result of further technical analysis and the ongoing negotiations with the Federal Prosecution Office, (ii) resolution
of uncertainty in respect of the resumption of Samarco´s operations; (iii) updates of the discount rate; and (iv) resolution
of existing and potential legal claims.
Moreover, the main critical assumptions
and estimates applied in the Germano dam provision considers, among others: (i) volume of the waste to be removed based on historical
data available and interpretation of the enacted laws and regulations; (ii) location availability for the tailings disposal; and
(iii) acceptance by the authorities of the proposed engineering methods and solution.
As a result, future expenditures may differ
from the amounts currently provided and changes to key assumptions could result in a material impact to the amount of the provision
in future reporting periods. At each reporting period, the Company reassess the key assumptions used by Samarco in the preparation
of the projected cash flows and adjust the provision, if required.

Methods
and techniques of evaluation
i)
Derivative financial instruments
Derivative
financial instruments are evaluated through the use of market curves and prices impacting each instrument at the closing dates,
detailed in the item "market curves” (note 26).
For the pricing of options, the Company
often uses the Black & Scholes model. In this model, the fair value of the derivative is determined basically as a function
of the volatility and the price of the underlying asset, the strike price of the option, the risk-free interest rate and the option
maturity. In the case of options where payoff is a function of the average price of the underlying asset over a certain period
during the life of the option, the Company uses Turnbull & Wakeman model. In this model, in addition to the factors that influence
the option price in the Black-Scholes model, the formation period of the average price is also considered.
In the case of swaps, both the present
value of the long and short positions are estimated by discounting their cash flows by the interest rate in the related currency.
The fair value is determined by the difference between the present value of the long and short positions of the swap in the reference
currency.
For the swaps indexed to TJLP, the calculation
of the fair value assumes that TJLP is constant, that is, the projections of future cash flows in Brazilian Reais are made considering
the last TJLP disclosed.
Forward and future contracts are priced
using the future curves of their corresponding underlying assets. Typically, these curves are obtained on the stock exchanges where
these assets are traded, such as the London Metals Exchange (“LME”), the Commodity Exchange (“COMEX”) or
other providers of market prices. When there is no price for the desired maturity, Vale uses an interpolation between the available
maturities.
The fair value of derivatives within level
3 is estimated using discounted cash flows and option model valuation techniques with unobservable inputs of discount rates, stock
prices and commodities prices.
b) Fair

Due to the short-term cycle, the fair value
of cash and cash equivalents balances, financial investments, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their book values.
Coronavirus outbreak - At this
time, the outbreak has not caused any significant impact on the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities. However,
abnormally large changes have occurred in the valuation of financial assets across many markets since the outbreak. The outbreak
continues to be uncertain, making it impossible to forecast the final impact it could have on the economy, and in turn, on the
Company’s business, liquidity, and financial position meaning that the fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities
may change in later periods.

c) Hedge in foreign
operations
In January 2017, the Company implemented
hedge accounting for the foreign currency risk arising from Vale S.A.’s net investments in Vale International S.A. and Vale
Holding BV. Under the hedge accounting program, the Company’s debt denominated in U.S. dollars and Euros serves as a hedge
instrument for these investments. With the program, the impact of exchange rate variations on debt denominated in U.S. dollars
and Euros has been partially recorded in other comprehensive income, in the “Cumulative translation adjustments”. As
at March 31, 2020, the carrying value of the debts designated as instrument hedge of these investments are R$11,930 (US$2,295 million)
and R$4,295 (EUR750 million).

i - Tax litigations - The most
relevant contingent tax liabilities are associated with proceedings related to the (i) collection of IRPJ and CSLL, (ii) challenges
of PIS and COFINS tax credits, (iii) assessments related to mining royalties (CFEM), and (iv) collection of ICMS, in particular
related to credits claimed in connection with the sale and transmission of electricity; collection of ICMS in connection with
goods that enter into the State of Pará and collection of ICMS and penalties over the transportation of iron ore by Vale
itself. The variation over the period is mainly due to the new proceedings related to CFEM, IPI, ICMS and penalty, the termination
of the proceedings regarding PIS and fees, the changes in the amount involved in the ISSQN cases, as well as the imposition of
the interest and monetary updated on the amounts in dispute.

In addition to the above-mentioned tax,
civil, labor and environmental judicial deposits, the Company contracted R$9.5 billion in guarantees for its lawsuits, as an alternative
to judicial deposits. For the Brumadinho event, the Company contracted guarantees in the amount of R$5.7 billion which were presented
in court according agreement with Treasury Court of Minas Gerais and Public Prosecutor's Office.
d) Contingencies related
to Samarco accident
(i) Public civil claim filed by the
Federal Government and others and Public civil claim filed by Federal Prosecution Office (“MPF”)
In 2016, the federal government, the Brazilian
states of Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais and other governmental authorities have initiated a public civil lawsuit against
Samarco and its shareholders, with an estimated value indicated by the plaintiffs of R$20.2 billion. In the same year, MPF filed
a public civil action against Samarco and its shareholders and presented several claims, including: (i) the adoption of measures
for mitigating the social, economic and environmental impacts resulting from the dam failure and other emergency measures; (ii)
the payment of compensation to the community; and (iii) payments for the collective moral damage. The action value indicated by
MPF is R$155 billion.
In June 2018, the parties entered into
an agreement (“Term of Adjustment of Conduct”), which extinguishes (i) the public civil claim of R$20.2 billion filed
by the Federal Government and others; and (ii) part of the claims included in the public civil claim of R$155 billion filed by
MPF. The agreement also establishes a possible renegotiation of Fundação Renova's repair programs after the conclusion
of the specialist’s studies hired to advise the Public Prosecutor's Office in this process. These negotiations are expected
to occur during 2020.
In September 2019, the Court approved the
list of entities selected by the community to provide it with technical assistance to assure its participation on the debates regarding
the measures to be adopted for mitigate the impacts, accordingly to the referred agreement.
In January 2020, the Court issued an order
for the Brazilian Mining Authority (“ANM”) ratifying the revocation of the decision issued on the public civil actions
filed by the Brazilian Federal Government and others, determine the immediate revocation of the restrictions on Vale's mining concessions.
In January 2020, the Court also determined
the commencement of 10 specific proceedings to address the controverted and pendent topics of the settlement agreements signed
by the parties (TTAC and TacGov), according to priority aspects of said agreements (the “Priority Topics”), namely:
Topic 1 - Environmental Recovery Extra and Intra Channel; Topic 2 – Risks to Human Health and Ecologic Risks; Topic 3 - Resettlement
of Affected Communities; Topic 4 - Infrastructure and Development; Topic 5 - Operational Return of HPP Risoleta Neves; Topic 6
- Performance Measurement and Monitoring; Topic 7 – Registration; Topic 8 – Reestablishment of economic activities;
Topic 9 - Water Supply for Human Consumption; and Topic 10 - Technical Assistants to the affected communities. The Court has been
establishing specific obligations in each of the Topics for the public authorities, Renova Foundation and the companies Vale, Samarco
and BHP, with the purpose of overcoming the pending and controverted topics of each subject.

(ii) United States class action lawsuits
In March 2017, holders of bonds issued
by Samarco Mineração S.A., filed a class action suit in the Federal Court in New York against Samarco Mineração
S.A., Vale S.A., BHP Billiton Limited, BHP Billiton PLC and BHP Brasil Ltda. under U.S. federal securities laws. The plaintiffs
allege that Vale S.A. made false and misleading statements or did not make disclosures concerning the risks and dangers of the
operations of Samarco's Fundão dam and the adequacy of related programs and procedures.
In June 2019, the Court issued a decision
and order dismissing with prejudice the putative federal securities class action. In December 2019 the plaintiffs filed a Notice
of Appeal to the Court of Appeals. On March 10, 2020, the plaintiff filed its opening appeal brief. A letter with the court requesting
a deadline for our brief was filed on March 20, 2020. On the same day, the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit accepted our
request and has set June 8, 2020 as the deadline for the filing of our brief. Based on the assessment of the Company´s legal
consultants, Vale has good arguments to oppose the appeal.
(iii) Class action lawsuits related
to Vale’s American Depositary Receipts
With respect to litigation in the United
States concerning Samarco’s Fundão dam, Vale and certain of our officers have been named as defendants in securities
class action suits in the Federal Court in New York brought by holders of Vale’s American Depositary Receipts under U.S.
federal securities laws. The suit was brought as a putative class action on behalf of holders of Vale’s American Depositary
Receipts (“ADRs”), alleging violations of the U.S. Federal Securities laws on the basis of alleged false and misleading
statements or omissions concerning the risks of operations of Samarco’s Fundão dam and the adequacy of the related
programs and procedures.
On March 23, 2017 the judge issued a decision
rejecting a significant portion of the claims against Vale S.A. and the individual defendants, determining the prosecution of the
action with respect to more limited claims. The portion of plaintiffs' case that remains is related to certain statements about
procedures, policies and risk mitigation plans contained in Vale S.A.'s sustainability reports in 2013 and 2014, and certain statements
regarding to the responsibility of Vale S.A. for the Fundão dam failure made in a conference call in November 2015.
Fact and Expert discovery was totally concluded
in October 2019. On September 27, 2019, the Court denied class certification. On December 26, 2019, the Court issued an Order
stating that the parties had informed the Court that the parties had reached a settlement in principle. The Court directed
the parties to submit a motion to approve a proposed settlement no later than February 07, 2020. On February 07, 2020, the parties
have filed to the Court an “Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement”. On February 22, 2020, the court signed our proposed
order preliminarily approving the settlement in the total amount of R$130 (US$25 million) and has also set a settlement conference
for June 10, 2020 to discuss final approval of the settlement.
(iv) Criminal lawsuit
In 2016, the MPF brought a criminal lawsuit
against Samarco and its shareholders, VogBr Recursos Hídricos e Geotecnia Ltda. and 22 individuals for the consequences
related to Fundão dam failure. Currently, the progress of the criminal action is paralyzed due to the judgment of Habeas
Corpus, with no decision.
On April 23, 2019, the Federal Court from
the 1st Region (“TRF1”) issued an Habeas Corpus writ and granted it to dismiss the criminal charges of homicide and
physical injuries committed by oblique intent held against one of the defendants on the criminal action. At the same opportunity,
the Court extended the writ’s issuance to all other defendants on the case as the criminal information does not describe
the crimes of homicide and physical injury, but the crime of flooding qualified by the result of death and physical injury as a
consequence of the Fundão dam’s failure. Therefore, the Court dismissed the homicide and physical injuries charges
held against all defendants.
After acknowledging the Court’s decisions,
the Ponte Nova Court changed the process, withdrawing the case from the grand jury and putting it in the ordinary processing. In
the same opportunity, the judge ruled to determine the parties to manifest themselves about this process alteration and, after
the Federal Prosecution and the defenses presented their petitions, the judge withdrew the charges against Vale and BHP executives
and the accusation withheld for trial for the two companies together with Samarco and its representatives. The accusation of crimes
committed against the Environmental Public Administration by Vale and one of its executives also remained unaltered. Additionally,
the judge determined precatory letters to be sent to collect the defense witnesses testimonies and opened a 60 day term for the
defenses to present a list of questions to be put together with the international cooperation for the testimony of the accusation
witnesses residing in Canada.

In March, 2020, the Lower Court at Ponte
Nova scheduled hearings to take place in April and May, 2020, to take depositions of those defense witnesses who were able to attend
it, but due to the new coronavirus pandemic, all hearings in the country which were previously scheduled to take place in April
have been cancelled by an express determination from the National Justice Council. Vale are currently waiting a confirmation from
the Courts whether hearings previously scheduled to take place in the next months will be maintained or not.
(v) Tax proceedings
In 2018, the Office of the Attorney General
for the National Treasury (PGFN) requested a judicial order to secure the payment of alleged federal tax and social security debts
regarding Samarco. In May 2019, a favorable decision was issued dismissing the claim without prejudice, due to lack of procedural
interest. The PGFN filed an appeal to the Local Court. The Company is waiting for the Court ruling.
e) Contingent Assets
(i) Compulsory loan
In 2015, the Company requested for the
enforcement of the judicial decision in the amount of R$524 related to a favorable unappealable decision which partially recognized
its right to refund the differences of monetary adjustments and interests due over to the third convertible bonds issued by Eletrobrás
shares in the period within 1987 to 1993. In November 2019, the Company requested for the payment of the amount of R$297 recognized
by Eletrobrás as due and awaits judicial analysis of the surplus amount. Therefore, it has not possible yet to determine
the amount to be refunded and, consequently, the asset has not been registered in the Company's interim financial statements.
(ii) ICMS included in PIS and COFINS
tax base
Vale had been discussing the issue regarding
the exclusion of ICMS in PIS and COFINS tax basis in two judicial proceedings, related to taxable events after December 2001. In
one of the proceedings, the company has obtained a definitive favorable decision (res judicata). In the second proceeding the current
decision is also favorable to the Company, but this proceeding did not reach the res judicata. Vale is waiting for a final decision
on the leading that will be issued by Supreme Court in order to calculate the amount to be refunded arising from both proceedings.
The Company did not record this asset in its interim financial statements.
(iii) Arbitral award related to Simandou
In 2010, Vale acquired a 51% stake in VBG
- Vale BSGR Limited ("VBG") (formerly BSG Resources (Guinea) Limited), which had iron ore concession rights in Simandou
South ("Zogota") and iron ore exploration permits over the areas known as Simandou Blocks 1 & 2 in Guinea. In 2014,
the Republic of Guinea revoked those rights after a finding that BSGR had obtained them through bribery of Guinean government officials.
The Republic of Guinea did not make any finding of any involvement or responsibility on Vale’s part.
Vale commenced arbitration proceedings
against BSG Resources Limited (“BSGR”) in April 2014, and in April 2019, the arbitral tribunal in London ruled in Vale’s
favor and ordered BSGR to pay to Vale the amount of R$6,238 (US$1.2 billion) plus costs and interest (with interest and costs,
the award exceeds R$10,397 (US$2.0 billion)). The arbitral tribunal ruled that BSGR had defrauded Vale by inducing Vale to
enter into the joint venture. On September 20, 2019, the English High Court ruled that Vale can proceed with enforcement of its
R$10,397 (US$2.0 billion) arbitration award.
BSGR went into administration in March
2018, and Vale has commenced legal proceedings against BSGR before courts in London, England and in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York to enforce the arbitral award against BSGR.
BSGR challenged the award before the English High Court, and
its challenge was dismissed on November 29, 2019. BSGR has also applied to the United States Bankruptcy Court to have its administration
recognized in the United States.
On December 3, 2019, Vale and two of its affiliates filed new
litigation proceedings in the English High Court, claiming damages of approximately R$9,618 (US$1.85 billion), against certain
individuals and related parties to BSGR.
Vale intends to pursue the enforcement
of the award and collection of the amounts due by all legally available means, but since there can be no assurance as to the timing
and amount of any collections, the asset was not recognized in its financial statements.

(iv) Canadian Tax Litigation Matter
Vale Canada Limited (“VCL”)
and the Canadian Department of Justice - Canada Revenue Agency signed an agreement regarding a tax litigation matter related to
the appropriate tax treatment of certain receipts received and expenditures incurred by VCL in respect of merger and acquisition
transactions in 2006. In 2019, the Company recognized a contingent asset in the amount of R$813 (CAD 221 million) for the agreed
tax refund including interest and recognized in 2020 an additional amount of R$77 (CAD21 million) related to interest. On
the date of the issue of this interim financial statement the Company received the total amount due to this contingent asset.

26. Additional
information about derivatives financial instruments
The risk of the derivatives portfolio is
measured using the delta-Normal parametric approach and considers that the future distribution of the risk factors and its correlations
tends to present the same statistic properties verified in the historical data. The value at risk estimate considers a 95% confidence
level for a one-business day time horizon.
The following tables detail the derivatives
positions for Vale and its controlled companies as of March 31, 2020, with the following information: notional amount, fair value
including credit risk, gains or losses in the period, value at risk and the fair value breakdown by year of maturity.

Protection programs for the R$ denominated debt instruments and other liabilities
|
To reduce cash flow volatility, swap and
forward transactions were implemented to convert into US$ the cash flows from certain liabilities denominated in R$ with interest
rates linked mainly to CDI, TJLP and IPCA. In those swaps, Vale pays fixed or floating rates in US$ and receives payments in R$
linked to the interest rates of the protected liabilities.
The swap and forward transactions were
negotiated over-the-counter and the protected items are the cash flows from debt instruments and other liabilities linked to R$.
These programs transform into US$ the obligations linked to R$ to achieve a currency offset in the Company’s cash flows,
by matching its receivables - mainly linked to US$ - with its payables.

Protection program for the
purchase of fuel oil used on ships
|
In order to reduce the impact of fluctuations
in fuel oil prices on the hiring and availability of maritime freight and, consequently, to reduce the Company’s cash flow
volatility, hedging operations were carried out through options contracts on Brent Crude Oil and Gasoil (10ppm) for different
portions of the exposure.
The derivative transactions were negotiated
over-the-counter and the protected item is part of the Vale’s costs linked to the price of fuel oil used on ships. The financial
settlement inflows/outflows are offset by the protected items’ losses/gains.

(ii) Protection programs
for base metals raw materials and products
Nickel Revenue Hedging
Program
In 2019, to reduce the volatility of its
future cash flows arising from changes in nickel prices, the company implemented a Nickel Revenue Hedging Program. Under this
program, hedge operations were executed using option contracts to protect a portion of the highly probable forecast sales at floating
prices, thus establishing a cushion to guarantee prices above our Nickel Average Unit Cash Cost and investments for the hedged
volumes and hedge accounting treatment is given to this program.
In March 2020, 73,734 options were sold,
leading to the partial discontinuation of the hedge accounting program. The cumulative gain recognized in the cash flow hedge
reserve until the settlement of the option contracts will be reclassified to the income statement as the Company recognizes the
revenue from nickel sales (hedged item).
On April 1, 2020 (subsequent event), the
nickel hedge accounting program was fully settled.

Palladium Revenue Hedging
Program
To reduce the volatility of its future
cash flows arising from changes in palladium prices, the Company implemented a Palladium Revenue Hedging Program. Under this program,
hedge operations were executed using forwards and option contracts to protect a portion of the highly probable forecast sales
at floating prices. A hedge accounting treatment is given to this program.
The derivative transactions under the
program are negotiated over-the-counter and the financial settlement inflows/outflows are offset by the protected items’
losses/gains due to palladium price changes.

c) Freight derivative
positions
To reduce the impact of maritime freight
price volatility on the Company’s cash flow, freight hedging transactions were implemented, through Forward Freight Agreements
(FFAs). The protected item is part of Vale’s costs linked to maritime freight spot prices. The financial settlement inflows/outflows
of the FFAs are offset by the protected items’ losses/gains due to freight prices changes.
The FFAs are contracts traded over the
counter and can be cleared through a Clearing House, in this case subject to margin requirements.

d) Wheaton Precious
Metals Corp. warrants
The Company owned warrants issued by Wheaton
Precious Metals Corp. (WPM), a Canadian company with stocks negotiated on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange.
Such warrants have payoff similar to that of an American call option and were received as part of the payment regarding the sale
of part of gold payable flows produced as a sub product from Salobo copper mine and some nickel mines in Sudbury. In February
2020, the Company sold all of its warrants of Wheaton (equivalent to 10,000,000 common shares) for US$2.50 per warrant, totaling R$110 (US$25 million).

g) Embedded derivatives
in contracts
In August 2014 the Company sold part of
its stake in Valor da Logística Integrada (“VLI”) to an investment fund managed by Brookfield Asset Management
("Brookfield"). The sales contract includes a clause that establishes, under certain conditions, a minimum return guarantee
on Brookfield's investment until August 2020. This clause is considered an embedded derivative, with payoff equivalent to that
of a put option.
