Continuation of the Protocol and Justification of Merger of Vale Mina do Azul S.A. into Vale S.A. 2 2. Mina do Azul, a privately-held company, is engaged in steel manufacturing, metallurgy and in the iron alloy industry and trade; exploration, on its own or in association with other companies, of mineral deposits, including research, mining, processing, transportation, trade, import and export of minerals and iron alloys, also acting as an export trader of iron alloys and ores in general; reforestation, forest planting, on its own or via contract with third parties, in its own land or in lands owned by third parties; extraction, production, trade, import and export of wood and charcoal and other goods of mineral or vegetable origin used in the production processes and their derivatives and byproducts; trade, import and export of the related goods required for its activities, including equipment, supplies and other materials; rendering of services of any kind, as well as any other related activities that do not contravene its corporate purpose or the legislation in force. 3. Taking into account that Mina do Azul is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vale and that there is synergy between the COMPANIES, the merger of Mina do Azul into Vale is justified, as it simplifies the corporate structure and optimizes resources and costs. 4. The capital stock of Mina do Azul is R$ 142,142,832.21 (one hundred forty-two million, one hundred forty-two thousand, eight hundred thirty-two reais and twenty-one cents), [fully paid-in], divided into 89,937,808 (eighty-nine million, nine hundred thirty-seven thousand, eight hundred and eight) registered common shares with no par value, wholly owned by Vale, free of any liens and encumbrances.

Mina do Azul’s assets shall be transferred to Vale at the respective value in the accounting books, whose asset and liability elements shall be appraised in accordance with the accounting practices. The measure is justified by the fact that, given that Mina do Azul is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vale, its net equity already belongs exclusively to the latter and it is represented in Vale’s assets by the shares of the capital of Mina do Azul that the latter holds. Once all of the 89,937,808 (eighty-nine million, nine hundred thirty-seven, eight hundred and eight) common shares of Mina do Azul owned by Vale are cancelled, as a consequence of the merger, their value shall be replaced in Vale’s accounting books by the assets of Mina do Azul, without any changes to the value accounted for. 6. In accordance with Article 8 of Law No. 6.404/76, the net equity of Mina do Azul to be transferred to Vale shall be appraised by a specialized company, whose appointment shall be ratified by the Special General Assembly of Vale that shall analyze this proposal, who shall prepare the appraisal report referred to in paragraph 1 of Article 227 of Law No. 6.404/76. This appraisal shall be carried out based on the elements contained in the balance sheet of Mina do Azul prepared on 09.30.2014, in compliance with the accounting standards established in Articles 183 and 184 of Law No. 6.404/76 for the appraisal of asset and liability elements, under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission of Brazil, which are identical to those adopted by Vale. 7. Variations in the equity of Mina do Azul between the base date of 09.30.2014 and the effective date of the merger of Mina do Azul shall be registered in Mina do Azul, taken into account in the balance that must be prepared for the tax return to be filed by reason of the extinction of Mina do Azul by merger, and posted in Vale via the equity accounting method without affecting the appraisal report mentioned in the previous paragraph.

Continuation of the Protocol and Justification of Merger of Vale Mina do Azul S.A. into Vale S.A. 4 8. Taking into account that Vale holds all the shares representing the capital stock of Mina do Azul, which shall be canceled with the intended merger, no shares of the merging company Vale shall be issued, which shall remain unchanged. Consequently, Vale's Bylaws shall not be changed. 9.

Vale Mina do Azul S.A Equity Appraisal Report Calculated on the Basis of Accounts from September 30, 2014 Appendix II

Appendix II - Summary of Main Accounting Practices Vale Mina do Azul S.A. The main accounting practices used in the preparation of the balance sheets are defined below. (a) Operating currency, reporting currency, and transactions in other currencies The transactions performed are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (“operating currency”). The operating currency of the Company is the Brazilian real, which is the same currency used in the balance sheets. Transactions involving foreign currencies are converted to the operating currency, using the exchange rates current on the dates of the transactions or of the valuation in which the items are calculated. Exchange earnings and losses resulting from the settlement of these transactions and conversion at exchange rates current at the end of the fiscal year, with regards to monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies, are recorded in fiscal year income. (b) Financial assets, receivables The Company classifies its financial assets as receivables and determines classification of its financial instruments at initial recording of these items. This category includes receivables which are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments, and which are not traded in an active market. They are included under current assets, excepting those with maturity greater than 12 months after the date of the balance sheet (which are classified as noncurrent assets). The financial assets comprise cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable from clients and related parties, court deposits, and other accounts receivable. Receivables are initially calculated at fair value and later calculated at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method. (c) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash, bank deposits, and other short-term investments with immediate liquidity, redeemable within a period of 90 days from the date of contract, promptly convertible to a known cash amount, and with no significant risk of change in their market value. Certificates of deposit that be redeemed at any time without penalty are included in cash equivalents. (d) Accounts receivable from clients and related parties Accounts receivable from clients and related parties correspond to the amounts receivable from the sale of products. When the period for receipt falls within the normal operating cycle of the Company, accounts receivable are classified under current assets. When the period for receipt exceeds the operating cycle, receivables are classified under noncurrent assets. The current operating cycle of the Company is 12 months. Accounts receivable from clients are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently recorded at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method, less the provision for estimated losses (Impairment).

(e) Inventory Inventory is calculated as the lesser of either the average cost of acquisition/production or realizable value. Inventory costs are determined using the direct and indirect fixed and variable costs of production, calculated using the average cost method. Where applicable, losses are estimated for obsolete inventory, slow-moving inventory, and inventory with market price lower than cost of acquisition or production. (f) Current and deferred income tax and social contributions Income tax (IRPJ) and social contributions (CSLL) were calculated based on actual earnings at a rate of 15% (plus an additional 10%) for IRPJ and 9% for CSLL. Current income tax charge is calculated based on tax laws enacted or substantively enacted as of the date of the balance sheet. The administration periodically evaluates the positions taken by the Company in its income tax declarations, with respect to situations in which tax regulations provide some room for interpretation. The administration establishes provisions, where appropriate, based on the amounts that must be paid to tax authorities. Deferred income tax and social contributions are calculated for the corresponding temporary differences between the taxable assets and liabilities and the book values. Deferred income tax credits and debits are offset when there is a legally supported right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities, and when deferred income tax credits and debits relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity. Deferred tax credits are recorded to the extent it is likely that future taxable earnings will be available for use in offsetting the temporary differences and/or tax losses, on the basis of projections of future earnings prepared and supported by internal assumptions and by future economic scenarios that may undergo subsequent alterations. Deferred tax debits are recorded in full. Income tax and social contribution expenses are recorded under fiscal year income. (g) PP&E PP&E is stated at historic cost of acquisition or construction, less accumulated depreciation. Land holdings are not depreciated. Depreciation of buildings and improvements, equipment and facilities, and furniture and fixtures, is calculated using the linear method, based on the estimated useful life, as follows:

Estimated useful life Lands Operating facilities and systems 10 years Buildings 25 to 30 years Equipment 5 to 10 years Provision for closing of mines (*) Other 3 to 5 years (*) Depletion of mines and quarries is calculated based on the ratio between effective production and the total proven or probable mineral reserves. The residual values and useful life of the assets are reviewed and adjusted, where appropriate, at the end of each fiscal year. (h) Impairment of assets Financial assets valued at amortized cost The Company evaluates the recoverability of financial assets whenever there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets have suffered impairment. Losses from impairment are incurred only when there is objective evidence of such impairment resulting from one or more events occurring after initial recording of the assets (a “loss event”) and when such loss event (or events) has an impact on the future estimated cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. The criteria used by the Company to determine whether or not there is objective evidence of impairment include: (i) Significant financial difficulty faced by the issuer or debtor; (ii) Breach of contract, such as failure or delay in payment of interest or principal; (iii) The Company, for economic or legal reasons relating to the financial difficulty of the borrower, grants to the borrower a concession which the lender would otherwise not consider; (iv) It becomes likely that the borrower will declare bankruptcy or other means of financial reorganization; (v) The disappearance of an active market for the financial asset in question, due to financial difficulties; or (vi) Observable data that indicates a measurable reduction in estimated future cash flows in a portfolio of financial assets since their initial recording, even when this decrease cannot yet be identified for the individual financial assets in the portfolio, including: . Adverse changes in the payment situation of borrowers in the portfolio; and

. National or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults in the portfolio’s assets. The Company first assess whether there is objective evidence of impairment. The amount of the loss is calculated as the difference between the book value of the assets and the present value of the estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred), less the effective original interest rate of the financial assets. The book value of the asset is reduced and the value of the loss is recorded under income. If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate used to calculate a loss from impairment is the current effective interest rate determined based on the contract. As a practical measure, the Company can calculate impairment based on the fair value of an instrument using an observable market price. If subsequently the value of the loss from impairment decreases, and this decrease can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment is recorded (with an improvement in the credit rating of the debtor), the reversal of the previously recorded impairment loss will be recorded under income. Long-term non-financial assets The recoverable value of assets subject to depreciation or amortization is reviewed by the Administration whenever events or changes in circumstances would indicate that these assets' book values may not be recovered. Losses from impairment of an asset are recorded when the book value of the asset exceeds its recoverable value, which corresponds to the greater of either the assets' estimated value of sale less estimated costs for sale, or the assets' value in use (present expected value of future cash flows). For the purposes of valuing losses from impairment, the assets are grouped together at the lower level for which there are identifiable cash flows separately from the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. (i) Accounts payable to suppliers and related parties Accounts payable to suppliers and related parties are payment obligations relating to goods and services that were acquired during the normal course of business. These are initially recorded at fair value and later calculated at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method. (j) Provisions The Company records a provision when there is a legal or otherwise established obligation resulting from a past event and it is likely that economic resources will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are recorded based on the best estimated of the risk involved. When the Administration expects the value of a provisions to be reimbursed, in full or in part (e.g., under an insurance policy), reimbursement is recorded as a separate asset, but only when reimbursement is practically certain. The expenditure relating to any provision is recorded in fiscal year income, net of the respective reimbursement.

The provision made by the Company for the closing of mines and demobilization of assets refers essentially to the cost of closing a mine after the finalization of mining activities and the deactivation of the assets relating to the mine. This provision is established initially with the recording of a long-term liability, calculated against the respective item under PP&E. The longterm liability is updated financially using the current discount rate and is recorded against period income under financial expenses. The asset is depreciated linearly according to its useful life and recorded against fiscal year income. (k) Distribution of dividends and interest on equity The distribution of dividends and interest on equity to Company shareholders is recorded as a liability, based on the Company Bylaws. Any value greater than that guaranteed in the Bylaws as the mandatory minimum, is only recorded on the date such payments are approved by the shareholders.

Audits also include the assessment of the adequacy of the accounting practices used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the administration. We believe that the evidence obtained in the audit is sufficient and appropriate to support our conclusion. 5 Conclusion Based on our works, we have concluded that the book value of net equity of R$ 488,416.30 (four hundred and eighty-eight thousand, four hundred and sixteen reais and thirty cents), pursuant to the Balance Sheet from September 30, 2014, contained in Appendix I, represents, in all pertinent aspects, the true net equity of Sociedade de Mineração Constelação de Apolo S.A., as appraised in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil. 6 Other matters In adherence to the requests made by the Securities Commission of Brazil, we also report that: (a) In accordance with the professional standards established by the Federal Accounting Council, we are not aware of any direct or indirect conflicts of interest, or any other circumstance that would comprise a conflict of interest, with regards to the services which were provided by us and which are described above; and (b) We are not aware of any actions by the parent company or directors of the Company aimed at guiding, restricting, hindering, or any other act that has had or could have had any effect on our access, use, or knowledge of information, assets, documents, or work methods that would be relevant to the quality of the respective conclusions.

Appendix II

Appendix II - Summary of Main Accounting Practices Sociedade de Mineração Constelação de Apolo S.A. The main accounting practices used in the preparation of the balance sheets are defined below. (a) PP&E PP&E is stated at historic cost of acquisition or construction, less accumulated depreciation. Land holdings are not depreciated. Land holdings refer to the Serra do Maquiné and Fazenda Mato Grosso estates. (b) Impairment of assets Financial assets valued at amortized cost The Company evaluates the recoverability of financial assets whenever there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets have suffered impairment. Losses from impairment are incurred only when there is objective evidence of such impairment resulting from one or more events occurring after initial recording of the assets (a “loss event”) and when such loss event (or events) has an impact on the future estimated cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. The criteria used by the Company to determine whether or not there is objective evidence of impairment include: (i) Significant financial difficulty faced by the issuer or debtor; (ii) Breach of contract, such as failure or delay in payment of interest or principal; (iii) The Company, for economic or legal reasons relating to the financial difficulty of the borrower, grants to the borrower a concession which the lender would otherwise not consider; (iv) It becomes likely that the borrower will declare bankruptcy or other means of financial reorganization; (v) The disappearance of an active market for the financial asset in question, due to financial difficulties; or (vi) Observable data that indicates a measurable reduction in estimated future cash flows in a portfolio of financial assets since their initial recording, even when this decrease cannot yet be identified for the individual financial assets in the portfolio, including: . Adverse changes in the payment situation of borrowers in the portfolio; and . National or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults in the portfolio's assets. The Company first assess whether there is objective evidence of impairment.

The amount of the loss is calculated as the difference between the book value of the assets and the present value of the estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred), less the effective original interest rate of the financial assets. The book value of the asset is reduced and the value of the loss is recorded under income. If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate used to calculate a loss from impairment is the current effective interest rate determined based on the contract. As a practical measure, the Company can calculate impairment based on the fair value of an instrument using an observable market price. If subsequently the value of the loss from impairment decreases, and this decrease can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment is recorded (with an improvement in the credit rating of the debtor), the reversal of the previously recorded impairment loss will be recorded under income. Long-term non-financial assets The recoverable value of assets subject to depreciation or amortization is reviewed by the Administration whenever events or changes in circumstances would indicate that these assets' book values may not be recovered. Losses from impairment of an asset are recorded when the book value of the asset exceeds its recoverable value, which corresponds to the greater of either the assets' estimated value of sale less estimated costs for sale, or the assets' value in use (present expected value of future cash flows). For the purposes of valuing losses from impairment, the assets are grouped together at the lower level for which there are identifiable cash flows separately from the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. (c) Net equity Net equity was calculated in accordance with CPC PME - NBC TG 1000 and Law 6.404/76 (Law on Corporations), as amended by Law 11.638/07.

I - Proposed Services and Reports to be Issued A - Appraisal The appraisals to be issued for the base date of September 30, 2014 are to be prepared solely as part of the process of acquisition of Sociedade de Mineração Constelação de Apolo S.A. and Vale Mina do Azul S.A. by Vale S.A. The accounting valuation criteria established in Articles 183 and 184 of Law No. 6.404/76, amended by Law No. 11.638/07, will be used for appraisal of the book value of the aforementioned assets and liabilities. Our reviews will be carried out in accordance with the procedures defined in the IBRACON (Institute of Independent Auditors of Brazil) Auditing Standards and Procedures - CT Ibracon 03/2014 (R1) - Appraisals Issued by Independent Auditors, and will include primarily the following procedures: . Corroboration, on the basis of testing, of certain assets and liabilities contained in the balance sheet against the companies' books and the corresponding tax documents; . Confirmation of account balances; . Submission of letter to internal and/or external legal counsel to obtain information on litigation and contingencies; . Confirmation, with the use of testing, of the use of the asset and liability valuation criteria established in Articles 183 and 184 of Law No. 6.404/76, amended by Law No. 11.638/07; . Review of events and/or transactions subsequent to September 30, 2014 and through the date of issuance of the appraisal, which could have a significant effect on that appraisal; . Other procedures which we deem necessary based on the circumstances, in accordance with CT Ibracon 03/2014 (R1). At the end of our work, we will request from you a letter of representation confirming, to the best of your understanding, the representations which were made to us during our reviews. As a result of the limitations inherent to internal controls, to the performance of testing-based reviews, and to other aspects of this undertaking, the review conducted for issuance of accounting appraisals cannot make any absolute guarantee that the balances associated with the appraised assets are free of any improprieties relating to fraud, irregularity, or error. While it is our responsibility to issue an accounting appraisal on the net assets of Sociedade de Mineração Constelação de Apolo S.A. and an accounting appraisal on the net assets of Vale Mina do Azul S.A. for the base date of September 30, 2014, the Administration is responsible for preparing this information and for all information contained in these appraisals. The Administration is similarly responsible for selecting the appropriate accounting policies, for implementing an internal control structure to preserve the reliability of the financial statements, and for providing reasonable assurance Proposal for Provision of Professional Services / 3

against the occurrence of any errors or irregularities which may affect the financial statements. B - Characteristics of the Appraisal to be Issued The accounting appraisals to be included as part of the process of the acquisition of Sociedade de Mineração Constelação de Apolo S.A. and Vale Mina do Azul S.A. will be prepared in the Portuguese language, will state the book value of the net assets of Sociedade de Mineração Constelação de Apolo S.A. and Vale Mina do Azul S.A. on the base date of September 30, 2014, and will comprise: a. The objective of the appraisal; b. The scope of the work; c. The conclusion; d. Balance Sheet for the base date of September 30, 2014. Please note that the documents requested by KPMG must be provided on the date agreed by the parties in order to uphold the calendar provided by Vale, so as to thus meet the contractual deadlines for the accounting appraisals. The aforementioned appraisals will be discussed with you prior to final issuance. C - Reports The content of the aforementioned appraisals will be discussed with the Administration of Vale S.A. prior to final issuance. However, any relevant issues encountered during our work will be immediately brought to your attention. Acceptance of the services by Vale will be issued in writing on the date agreed by the parties. If no statement is made by the Company by such date, delivery of the appraisal by KPMG to Vale S.A. will be taken as acceptance of the services, while any rejection made without just cause will automatically result in Vale S.A. assuming full and unrestricted liability for any harmful effects that may be caused to the Companies, KPMG, or third parties as a result of the rejection of the services.

II - Honoraria and Payment Conditions Our fees are calculated based on the time effectively spent and on the categorization of the professionals used in the execution and supervision of the works entrusted to us.

Any tax increases will be handled as provided in the contract to be entered into by and between Vale and KPMG, in order to ensure that the economic/financial balance established in this business is maintained.

The total fees identified above, having been clearly defined and agreed by the parties, must be paid in two equal installments, the first such installment falling due after the staff mobilization and works planning stage, and the second falling due after approval by Vale of the two accounting appraisals. The fees agreed herein do not include: a. Extraordinary expenses, as understood by the parties, which shall be handled as provided in the contract to be entered into by and between Vale and KPMG. b.

The CONTRACTOR may only request extension of contractual deadlines and/or terms provided herein to the extent that they are affected by the accident and/or force

majeure event, should the CONTRACTOR have performed all its contractual obligations prior to such event. 11.6. The occurrence of an accident and/or force majeure event does not allow any claim for compensation or alteration in the price of the Agreement. 11.7.

If any of the provisions herein are deemed to be void, invalid, or unenforceable, in full or in part, such provisions shall not affect all other provisions and Clauses contained herein. 12.4.

Similarly, VALE is prohibited from assigning or transferring, in full or in part, the rights and duties hereunder without the prior and express consent of the CONTRACTOR. 12.5.

The CONTRACTOR is prohibited from extracting duplicates as part of the SERVICES and from issuing any other document which may insight protest against VALE. 12.7.

12.10 The Information Security policy of KPMG is in keeping with the practices employed in the market (excepting cryptography), while KPMG does not assume liability for any damages resulting from electronic communications. During the contractual relationship established on the basis hereof, KPMG may communicate with VALE via email and send documents electronically. KPMG shall make its greatest efforts to prevent any security incidents and to correct any failures where there are incidents. VALE accepts the risks inherent to these forms of communication (including the risks of interception of or unauthorized access to such communications, the risk of corruption of such communications, and the risks of viruses or other harmful elements, all of which are possible despite the security policies implemented by KPMG), and agreed that only the final versions of the documents and of the information sent by KPMG must be considered by VALE. CLAUSE THIRTEEN - JURISDICTION 13.1. The Parties select the Courts of the Central District of the City of Rio de Janeiro as the competent authority to settle all disputes arising with regards to this Agreement, while expressly waiving their right to any other jurisdiction, no matter the grounds.

EXHIBIT: CONDITIONS FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF AUDITING SERVICES 1.1. VALE acknowledges that the auditing services are carried out on the basis of testing, and that because of this limitation and others inherent to the auditing process and to any internal control system, it is possible that a significant error in the financial statements may not be detected. 1.2. The scope of the services does not cover the specific obligations of KPMG to detect fraud in the transactions, processes, records, and documents to which KPMG has access in connection to or as a result of the performance of the services. However, if the existence of fraud is conclusively identified, these cases shall be promptly reported to the Administration of VALE. 1.3. VALE acknowledges that the scope of the services does not cover the servicing of personal or specific interests and is related to legal, regulatory, and ethical matters that ensure that the works are executed in an independent fashion. 1.4. KPMG points out that legislation is complex, and often the same item can have more than one interpretation. KPMG seeks to keep itself up-to-date on the various interpretative positions, allowing for a broad assessment of the alternatives and of the risks involved. In any case, it is true that there may be interpretations of the law that differ from those of KPMG. Given these conditions, neither KPMG nor any other firm can provide VALE with absolute certainty that their interpretations will not be questioned by third parties or challenged by supervisory authorities. 1.5. VALE is aware that there are circumstances in which documentary deficiencies in internal controls or in accounting records imply the need to include "qualification paragraphs" in the auditing report, presenting to the reader certain aspects or limitations of the information contained in the audited financial statements. Depending on the seriousness of the deficiencies, the works may be completed with an auditing report that presents either no opinion or an unfavorable opinion on the part of the auditor with respect to the financial statements. VALE will be notified of such circumstance in due time. 1.6. The services shall be completed on the basis of the fact that VALE and the persons responsible for corporate governance acknowledge and understand that they are responsible for: 1.6.1. Preparing and duly presenting the financial statements in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil; 1.6.2. Implementing the internal controls deemed necessary by the administration to allow preparation of financial statements free of any significant distortions, regardless of whether such distortions are caused by fraud or error; For supplying: 1.6.3. Access to all relevant information of which the administration is aware for the preparation of the financial statements, such as records, documentation, and other data;

1.6.4. Any additional information which the auditor may request from the administration for auditing purposes; 1.6.5. Unrestricted access to the people within the entity that the auditor deems necessary in order to obtain evidence for the audit; 1.7. As part of the auditing works, KPMG shall request from the administration [and from the persons responsible for corporate governance] of VALE a written confirmation of the statements made with respect to the audit. 1.8. VALE shall be solely liable for the performance of its employees and agents and for the accuracy and completeness of the data and information provided to KPMG for the purpose of the services. KPMG shall not be liable, under any circumstance, for damages or losses resulting from the untimely submission of data by VALE, such damages or losses which may affect the normal progress or outcome of the services, and nor shall KPMG bear the burden of such damages or losses. Moreover, KPMG shall not be liable for the quality or sufficiency of the documents, accounting records, and supporting data that is made available in response to the requests made by KPMG. 1.9. The services may include recommendations; however, the decisions regarding implementation of such recommendations shall be fully under the responsibility of VALE. In its capacity as a service provider, KPMG assumes no responsibility for any managerial act that VALE may adopt or implement on the basis of (or as a result of) information, auditing reports, and reports deriving from the auditing services hereunder, or for the improper or unauthorized use of the same made directly or indirectly either by VALE or by third parties as facilitated by VALE. 1.10. KPMG shall perform the services in accordance with the provisions herein and pursuant to the standards established in the pertinent legislation and the regulatory procedures issued by the authorities regulating the activities of VALE and by Brazilian professional organizations. 1.11. The auditor is responsible for the performance of the audit in accordance with Brazilian and international auditing standards, the objective of which is to express an opinion on the financial statements prepared by the administration with the oversight of the persons responsible for corporate governance. 1.12. The elements which must be reported, based on Brazilian and international auditing standards, include significant elements resulting from the audit of the financial statements which are relevant to the persons responsible for corporate governance in the oversight of the financial reporting process. 1.13. Auditing standards do not require that the auditor plan its procedures with the objective of identifying additional elements to be reported to the persons responsible for corporate governance. 1.14. The auditor may have to report certain elements that are required by law or regulation, by specific agreement with the entity, or by additional requirements applicable to the audit, where applicable. 1.15. The auditing services do not include works relating to the offering of securities to the public. Thus, the audit report and all other documents and materials that we deliver to VALE as a result of the auditing works cannot be referenced or used in the context of any securities offer of any kind, regardless of jurisdiction, without having specifically contracted separate services for such purpose.
