Report of independent registered public accounting firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Vale S.A.

Rio de Janeiro - RJ

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Vale S.A. (“the Company”) and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2017, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity for the three-month period ended on March 31, 2017 and 2016. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an audit opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modification that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Vale S.A. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 22, 2017, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Selected Notes to the Interim Financial Statements

Expressed in millions of United States dollar, unless otherwise stated

1. Corporate information

Vale S.A. (the “Parent Company”) is a public company headquartered at 700, Avenida das Américas, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with securities traded on the stock exchanges of São Paulo - BM&F BOVESPA (Vale3 and Vale5), New York - NYSE (VALE and VALE.P), Paris - NYSE Euronext (Vale3 and Vale5) and Madrid — LATIBEX (XVALO and XVALP).

Vale and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (“Vale” or “Company”) are global producers of iron ore and iron ore pellets, key raw materials for steelmaking, and producers of nickel, which is used to produce stainless steel and metal alloys employed in the production of several products. The Company also produces copper, metallurgical and thermal coal, manganese ore, ferroalloys, platinum group metals, gold, silver and cobalt. The information by segment is presented in note 3.

2. Basis for preparation of the interim financial statements

a) Statement of compliance

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company (“interim financial statements”) present the accounts of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

b) Basis of presentation

The interim financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as adjusted to reflect: (i) the fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value through income statement or available-for-sale financial instruments measured at fair value through the statement of comprehensive income; and (ii) impairment of assets.

The accounting practices, accounting estimates and judgments, risk management and measurement methods are the same as those adopted when preparing the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016. The accounting policy for recognizing and measuring income taxes in the interim period is described in note 6. These interim financial statements were prepared to update users about relevant information presented in the period and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016.

The comparative information for the period ended March 31, 2016 was restated for the purposes of applying IFRS 5 “Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations” after approval by the Board of Directors of the sale of the fertilizers assets, as presented in Note 11.

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 is the Brazilian real (“BRL” or “R$”). For presentation purposes, these interim financial statements are presented in United States dollar (“USD” or “US$”) as the Company believes that this is how international investors analyze the interim financial statements.

The exchange rates used by the Company for major currencies to translate its operations are as follows :

	Closing rate		Average rate for the three months period ended
	March 31, 2017	December 31, 2016	March 31, 2017	March 31, 2016
US Dollar (“US$”)	3.1684	3.2591	3.1451	3.9022
Canadian dollar (“CAD”)	2.3785	2.4258	2.3760	2.8421
Australian dollar (“AUD”)	2.4200	2.3560	2.3824	2.8165
Euro (“EUR” or “€”)	3.3896	3.4384	3.3510	4.3008

Subsequent events were evaluated through April 26, 2017, which is the date the interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors.

c) Accounting standards issued but not yet effective

The standards and interpretations issued by IASB relevant to the Company but not yet effective are the same as those adopted when preparing the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016.

3. Information by business segment and by geographic area

The information presented to the Executive Board on the performance of each segment is derived from the accounting records, adjusted for reallocations between segments.

a) Adjusted EBITDA

The definition of adjusted EBITDA for the Company is the operating income or loss excluding (i) the depreciation, depletion and amortization, (ii) results on measurement or sales of non-current assets, (iii) impairment, (iv) onerous contracts and plus (v) dividends received from associates and joint ventures.

a) Discontinued operations (Fertilizers assets)

In December 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with The Mosaic Company (“Mosaic”) to sell (i) the phosphate assets located in Brazil, except those mainly related to nitrogen assets located in Cubatão (Brazil); (ii) the control of Compañia Minera Miski Mayo S.A.C., in Peru; (iii) the potassium assets located in Brazil; and (iv) the potash projects in Canada for US$2.5 billion.

Completion of the transaction is expected for the end of 2017 and is subject to the spin-off of the nitrogen assets from Vale Fertilizantes S.A.; the fulfillment of usual precedent conditions, including the approval of the Administrative Council of Economic Defense (CADE) and other antitrust authorities; and other operational and regulatory matters.

The fertilizer segment, including Cubatão, is presented as a discontinued operation and the related assets and liabilities were classified as assets and liabilities held for sale.

On March 31, 2017, the net assets of the fertilizers segment was adjusted to reflect the fair value less cost to sell and a loss of US$111 was recognized in the income statement from discontinued operations as “Impairment of non-current assets and onerous contracts”.

The results for the period and the cash flows of discontinued operations of the Fertilizer segment are presented as follows:

12. Acquisitions and divestitures

In December 2014 and as amended in November 2016, the Company signed an agreement with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (“Mitsui”) to transfer 50% of its stake of 66.7% in Nacala Logistic Corridor, which comprises entities that holds railroads and port concessions located in Mozambique and Malawi. Also, Mitsui committed to acquire 15% participation in the entity that owns Vale Moçambique, which hold the Moatize Coal Project.

In March 2017, the transaction was concluded, and consideration of US$690 was received by Vale. After the completion of the transaction, the Company (i) holds 81% of Vale Moçambique and retains the control of the Moatize Coal Project and (ii) with the 50% interest remaining in Nacala Logistic corridor structure (Nacala BV), the Company shares control of the joint venture with Mitsui.

Nacala Logistic Corridor is in negotiations for a Project Finance, the completion of which is expected to occur during the course of 2017. Upon the completion an additional amount of US$57 will be paid by Mitsui. Mitsui has certain rights, based on the execution of the Project Finance, to sell their participation in the Moatize Coal Project and Nacala BV, back to Vale, based on the original amounts and the same number of shares. The fair value of these put options is non-significant.

As a consequence of sharing control of Nacala BV, the Company:

(i) derecognized the assets and liabilities classified as held for sale in the total amount of US$4,144, from which US$4,063 refers to property plant and equipment and intangibles;

(ii) derecognized US$14 related to cash and cash equivalents;

(iii) recognized a gain of US$504 related to the sale and the re-measurement at fair value, of its remaining interest at Nacala BV based on the consideration received;

(iv) reclassified the gain related to cumulative translation adjustments to income statements in the amount of US$11;

The result of the transaction was recognized in income statement as “Results on measurement or sale of non-current assets”.

The results of the transaction with the Moatize Coal Project was recognized in “Results from operation with noncontrolling interest” in the amount of US$105, directly in Stockholders’ Equity.

The consideration of US$690 was recognized in the statement of cash flows in “Proceeds from disposal of assets and investments” in the amount of US$435 and “Transactions with noncontrolling stockholders” in the amount of US$255.

At March 31, 2017 the carrying value of the designated debts are US$8,034 and EUR750. The foreign exchange gains of US$227 and US$37 (US$150 and US$24, net taxes) on translation of the US$ and Euro debts, respectively, to R$ was recognized in the “Other comprehensive income” in stockholders’ equity. This hedge was highly effective throughout the period ended on March 31, 2017.

Table of Contents

Accounting policy

Foreign currency differences arising on the translation of a financial liability designated as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation are recognized in other comprehensive income to the extent that the hedge is effective and regardless of whether the net investment is held directly or through an intermediate parent.

The hedging instrument is accounted for in the same way as a cash flow hedge, i.e. translated at the closing rate with the gain or loss on the effective hedge being recognized in equity. Gains or losses in the reserves will only be realized when the foreign operation is disposed of.

17. Liabilities related to associates and joint ventures

Refers to the provision to comply with the obligations under the agreement related to the dam failure of Samarco Mineração S.A. (“Samarco”), which is a Brazilian joint venture between Vale S.A. and BHP Billiton Brasil Ltda. (“BHPB”), as follows:

a) Framework agreement

On November 5, 2015, Samarco experienced the failure of an iron ore tailings dam (“Fundão”) in the state of Minas Gerais.

Samarco and its shareholders, Vale S.A. and BHPB, entered into an Agreement (“Framework Agreement”) on March 2, 2016 with the Brazilian federal government, the two Brazilian states affected by the failure (Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais) and other governmental authorities in order to implement the programs for remediation and compensation of the areas and communities affected by Samarco’s dam failure.

The Framework Agreement does not contemplate admission of civil, criminal or administrative liability for the Fundão dam failure.

The Framework Agreement has a 15-year term, renewable for successive one-year periods until all the obligations under the Framework Agreement have been performed.

On June 24, 2016, the Renova Foundation (“Foundation”) was constituted, under the Framework Agreement, to develop and implement the socio-economic restoration and compensation programs. The Foundation began its operations in August of 2016.

To the extent that Samarco does not meet its funding obligations to the foundation, each of Vale S.A. and BHPB will provide, under the terms of the Framework Agreement, funds to the Foundation in proportion to its 50% equity interest in Samarco.

As the consequence of the dam failure, governmental authorities ordered the suspension of Samarco’s operations.

b) Estimates used for the provision

In light of the uncertainties related to the Samarco’s future cash flow, Vale S.A. recognized a provision on its interim financial statements as of June 30, 2016, for estimated costs in the amount of US$1,163 (R$3,733) provision, which represents Vale S.A.’s best estimate of the obligation to comply with the reparation and compensation programs under the Framework Agreement, equivalent to its 50% equity interest in Samarco.

In August 2016 and January 2017, Samarco issued non-convertible private debentures, which were subscribed equally by Vale S.A., and BHPB, being the resources contributed by Vale S.A., in the first quarter of 2017, allocated as follows:

(i) US$60 (R$187) used in the reparation programs in accordance with the Framework Agreement, and therefore, applied against the provision mentioned above;

(ii) US$61 (R$191) applied by Samarco to fund its working capital, and recognized in Vale´s income statement as “Impairment and other results in associates and joint ventures”.

Under the debentures agreement, Vale S.A might make available until June 2017 of up to US$59 (R$184) to Samarco to support its operations, without undertaking an obligation to Samarco. Funds for working capital requirements will be released as needed by the shareholders subject to achieving certain milestones.

As a result of constituting the Foundation, most of the reparation and compensation programs were transferred from Samarco. Therefore, Vale S.A. made contributions to the Foundation totaling US$23 (R$75) in the first quarter of 2017 to be used in the programs in accordance with the Framework Agreement.

Table of Contents

As a result of the above mentioned, the movements of the provision in the first quarter of 2017 are as follows:

	2017
Balance at January 1st,	1,077
Payments	(83	)
Interests	47
Translation adjustment	30
Balance at March 31,	1,071

Current liabilities	284
Non-current liabilities	787
Liabilities	1,071

At each reporting period, Vale S.A. will reassess the key assumptions used by Samarco in the preparation of the projected future cash flows and will adjust the provision, if required.

c) Contingencies related to Samarco accident

(i) Public civil claim filed by the Federal Government and others

The federal government, the two Brazilian states affected by the failure (Espirito Santo and Minas Gerais) and other governmental authorities have initiated a public civil lawsuit against Samarco and its shareholders, Vale S.A. and BHPB, with an estimated value indicated by the plaintiffs of US$6.4 billion (R$20.2 billion).

On May 5, 2016, the Framework Agreement, which was signed on March 2, 2016, was ratified by the Federal Regional Court (“TRF”), 1st Region. In June 2016 the Superior Court of Justice (“STJ”) in Brazil issued an interim order, suspending the decision of TRF, which ratified the Framework Agreement until the final judgments of the claim.

On August 17, 2016, the TRF of the 1st Region rejected the appeal presented by Samarco, Vale S.A. and BHPB against the interim order, and overruled the judicial decision that ratified the Framework Agreement. This decision of the TRF of the 1st Region, among other measures, confirmed a prior injunction that prohibited the defendants from transferring or conveying any of their interest in its Brazilian iron ore concessions, without, however, limiting their production and commercial activities and ordered a deposit with the court of US$379 (R$1.2 billion) by January 2017. This US$379 (R$1.2 billion) cash deposit was provisionally replaced by the guarantees provided for under the agreements with MPF, as detailed in the item (ii) below.

(ii) Public civil action filed by Federal Prosecution Office

On May 3, 2016, the Federal Prosecution Office (MPF) filed a public civil action against Samarco and its shareholders and presented several demands, including: (i) the adoption of measures for mitigating the social, economic and environmental impacts resulting from the Fundão dam failure and other emergency measures; (ii) the payment of compensation to the community; and (iii) payments for the collective moral damage. The initial action value claimed by the Federal Prosecution Office (MPF) is US$49 billion (R$155 billion). The first conciliatory hearing was held on September 13, 2016. On November 21, 2016, the court ordered that the defendants be served, and the defendants submitted their defense.

In January 2017 Samarco, Vale S.A. and BHPB entered into two preliminary agreements with the Federal Prosecutor’s Office in Brazil (MPF).

The first agreement (“First Agreement”) aims to outline the process and timeline for negotiations of a Final Agreement (“Final Agreement”), expected to occur by June 30th, 2017. This First Agreement establishes a timeline and actions to set the ground for conciliation of two public civil actions which aim to establish socio-economic and socio-environmental remediation and compensation programs for the impacts of the Fundão dam failure, respectively: claim nº 023863-07.2016.4.01.3800, filed by the Federal Prosecutors (amounting to US$49 billion (R$155 billion)), as mentioned this item, and claim nº 0069758-61.2015.4.01.3400, filed by the Federal Government, the states of Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo and other governmental authorities (amounting to US$6.4 billion (R$20.2 billion)), as mentioned in the item (i) above. Both claims were filed with the 12 th Judicial Federal Court of Belo Horizonte.

In addition, the First Agreement provides for: (i) the appointment of experts selected by the Federal Prosecutors and paid for by the companies to conduct a diagnosis and follow the progress of the 41 programs under the Framework Agreement signed on March 2nd,

Table of Contents

2016 by the companies and the Federal Government and the states of Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo and other governmental authorities and (ii) holding at least eleven public hearings by April 15th, 2017, five of which are to be held in Minas Gerais, three in Espírito Santo and the remainder in the indigenous territories of the Krenak, Comboios and Caieiras Velhas, in order to allow these communities to take part in the definition of the content of the Final Agreement.

Under the First Agreement, Samarco, Vale S.A. and BHPB will provide the 12 th Judicial Federal Court of Belo Horizonte with a guarantee for fulfillment of the obligations regarding the financing and payment of the socio-environmental and socio-economic remediation programs resulting from the Fundão dam failure, pursuant to the two public civil actions, until the signing of the Final Agreement, amounting to US$694 (R$2.2 billion), of which (i) US$32 (R$100) in financial investments; (ii) US$410 (R$1.3 billion) in insurance bonds; and (iii) US$252 (R$800) in assets of Samarco. In order to implement the First Agreement, it has been requested that the 12 th Judicial Federal Court of Belo Horizonte accept such guarantees until the completion of the negotiations and the signing of the Final Agreement, or until June 30, 2017, whichever comes first; or until the parties reach a new agreement regarding the guarantees. If, by June 30 th , the negotiations have not been completed, the Federal Prosecutor’s Office may require that the 12 th Judicial Federal Court of Belo Horizonte re-institute the order for the deposit of US$379 (R$1.2 billion) in relation to the US$6.4 billion (R$20.2 billion) public civil action, which is currently suspended. The parties requested the partially ratification of the First Agreement, excluding only the engagement of the socio-economic expert condition, which are being treated with MPF.

On March 16, 2017, the 12th Judicial Federal Court of Belo Horizonte partially ratified the First Agreement, being that this decision includes: (i) ratification of the engagement of experts to perform a socio-environmental impact assessment and assessment of programs under the Framework Agreement signed on March 2nd, 2016 and a period of 60 days for the companies to engage an expert to perform the socio-economic impact assessment; (ii) the consolidation and suspension of related claims aiming to avoid contradictory or conflicting decisions and to establish a unified judicial procedure in order for the parties to be able to reach a final agreement; (iii) accepted the guarantees proposed by Samarco and its shareholders under the Preliminary Agreement on a temporary basis.

In addition, the Second Agreement (Second Agreement) was signed, which establishes a timetable to make funds available to remediate the social, economic and environmental damages caused by the Fundão dam failure in the municipalities of Barra Longa, Rio Doce, Santa Cruz do Escalvado and Ponte Nova, amounting to US$63 (R$200). The 12th Judicial Federal Court of Belo Horizonte ratified this Second Agreement.

(iii) U.S. Securities class action suits

On May 2, 2016, Vale S.A. and certain of its officers were 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 lawsuits allege that Vale S.A. made false and misleading statements or not make disclosures concerning the risks and dangers of the operations of Samarco’s Fundão dam and the adequacy of related programs and procedures. The plaintiffs have not specified an amount of alleged damages or indemnities in these actions.

In July 2016, Vale S.A. and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint.

On March 23, 2017 the judge issued a decision rejecting a significant portion of the claims against Vale S.A. and the individual defendants, and determining the prosecution of the action with respect to more limited claims. The narrow 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. Vale S.A. continues to contest the lawsuit and the outstanding points.

(iv) Criminal lawsuit

On October 20, 2016, the MPF brought a criminal lawsuit in the Brazilian Federal Justice Court against Vale S.A., BHPB, Samarco, VogBr Recursos Hídricos e Geotecnia Ltda. and 22 individuals for alleged crimes against the environment, urban planning and cultural heritage, flooding, landslide, as well as for alleged crimes against the victims of the Fundão dam failure.

On November 16, 2016, the judge received the Federal Prosecutors Office criminal lawsuit and determined the summons of all defendants, granting 30 days each to file their defenses, to count from the day they receive the summon. Vale has already been served and its defense was presented in March 3, 2017.

Currently, the case-files are awaiting the indictment of the defendants regarding the request for dismemberment made by the Federal

Table of Contents

Prosecutor’s Office , as well as the responses regarding the prosecution.

(v) Other lawsuits

In addition, Samarco and its shareholders were named as a defendant in several other lawsuits brought by individuals, corporations and governmental entities seeking personal and property damages.

These lawsuits and petitions are at early stages, so it is not possible to determine a range of outcomes or reliable estimates of the potential exposure at this time. No contingent liability has been quantified and no provision was recognized for lawsuits related to Samarco´s dam failure.

Methods and techniques of evaluation

i) Derivative financial instruments

Financial instruments are evaluated by calculating their present value through the use of instrument yield curves at the closing dates. The curves and prices used in the calculation for each group of instruments are detailed in the “market curves”.

The pricing method used for European options is the Black & Scholes model. In this model, the fair value of the derivative is a function of the volatility in the price of the underlying asset, the exercise price of the option, the interest rate and period to maturity. In the case of options which income is a function of the average price of the underlying asset over the period 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 assets and liability are estimated by discounting the cash flow by the interest rate of the currency in which the swap is denominated. The difference between the present value of assets and liability of the swap generates its fair value.

For the TJLP swaps, the calculation of the fair value assumes that TJLP is constant, that is the projections of future cash flow in Brazilian Reais are made on the basis of the last TJLP disclosed.

Contracts for the purchase or sale of products, inputs and costs of selling with future settlement are priced using the forward yield curves for each product. Typically, these curves are obtained on the stock exchanges where the products 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.

b) Fair value of financial instruments not measured at fair value

The fair values and carrying amounts of loans (net of interest) are as follows :

Financial liabilities	Balance	Fair value	Level 1	Level 2

Additional information about derivatives financial instruments

In millions of United States dollars, except as otherwise stated

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.

There was no cash amount deposited as margin call regarding derivative positions on March 31, 2017. The derivative positions described in this document did not have initial costs associated.

The following tables detail the derivatives positions for Vale and its controlled companies as of March 31, 2017, 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.

a) Foreign exchange and interest rates derivative positions

(i) Derivative instruments for the R$ denominated debt instruments

In order to reduce cash flow volatility, swap transactions were implemented to convert into US$ the cash flows from certain debt instruments 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 debt instruments.

The swap transactions were negotiated over-the-counter and the protected items are the cash flows from debt instruments 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.

(ii) Derivative instruments for EUR denominated debt instruments

In order to reduce the cash flow volatility, swap and forward transactions were implemented to convert into US$ the cash flows from certain debt instruments issued in Euros by Vale. In those swaps, Vale receives fixed rates in EUR and pays fixed rates in US$. In those forwards only the principal amount of the debt is converted from EUR to US$.

The swap and forward transactions were negotiated over-the-counter and the protected items are the cash flows from debt instruments linked to EUR. The financial settlement inflows/outflows are offset by the protected items’ losses/gains due to EUR/US$ exchange rate.

b) Commodities derivative positions

(i) Bunker Oil purchase cash flows derivatives

In order to reduce the impact of bunker oil price fluctuation on maritime freight hiring/supply and, consequently, reducing the company’s cash flow volatility, bunker oil derivatives were implemented. These transactions are usually executed through forward purchases and zero cost-collars.

The derivative transactions were negotiated over-the-counter and the protected item is part of the Vale’s costs linked to bunker oil prices. The financial settlement inflows/outflows are offset by the protected items’ losses/gains due to bunker oil prices changes.

As at December 31, 2016, excludes US$24, of transactions in which the financial settlement occurs subsequently of the closing month.

(ii) Derivative instruments for base metals raw materials and products

Derivative instruments for nickel sales at fixed prices, derivatives transactions were implemented to convert into floating prices the contracts with clients that required a fixed price, in order to keep nickel revenues exposed to nickel price fluctuations. Those operations are usually implemented through the purchase of nickel forwards.

In the operational protection program for the purchase of raw materials and products, derivatives transactions were implemented, usually through the sale of nickel and copper forward or futures, in order to reduce the mismatch between the pricing period of purchases (concentrate, cathode, sinter, scrap and others) and the pricing period of the final product sales to the clients.

The derivative transactions are negotiated at London Metal Exchange or over-the-counter and the protected item is part of Vale’s revenues and costs linked to nickel and copper prices. The financial settlement inflows/outflows are offset by the protected items’ losses/gains due to nickel and copper prices changes.

Civil litigation	2,441	1,502
Labor litigation	2,568	2,418
Environmental litigation	1,987	1,871
Total	15,631	13,427

i - Tax litigation - Our most significant tax-related contingent liabilities result from disputes related to (i) the deductibility of our payments of social security contributions on the net income (CSLL) from our taxable income, (ii) challenges of certain tax credits we deducted from our PIS and COFINS payments, (iii) assessments of CFEM (royalties), and (iv) charges of value-added tax on services and circulation of goods (ICMS), especially relating to certain tax credits we claimed from the sale and transmission of energy, ICMS charges to anticipate the payment in the entrance of goods to Pará State, ICMS charges on our own transportation costs and challenges to other tax credits we claimed. The changes reported in the period resulted, mainly, from new proceedings related to PIS, COFINS, ICMS, CFEM; interest and inflation adjustments in the amounts in dispute.

ii - Civil litigation - Most of those claims have been filed by suppliers for indemnification under construction contracts, primarily relating to certain alleged damages, payments and contractual penalties. A number of other claims related to contractual disputes regarding inflation index.

iii - Labor litigation - Represents individual claims by employees and service providers, primarily involving demands for additional compensation for overtime work, time spent commuting or health and safety conditions; and the Brazilian federal social security administration (“INSS”) regarding contributions on compensation programs based on profits.

iv - Environmental litigation - The most significant claims concern alleged procedural deficiencies in licensing processes, non-compliance with existing environmental licenses or damage to the environment.
