Iron ore

In 2H15, sales of iron ore fines (excluding ROM sales) totaled 149.7 Mt out of which 67.5 Mt correspond to the sales volumes in the Northern System, which is entitled to the remuneration of shareholders debentures. Sales of Vale’s iron ore, net of maritime freight costs, totaled R$ 17.6 billion in 2H15, out of which R$ 8.1 billion corresponds to the Northern System. After applying the discounts provided in the Deed of Debentures to calculate the net revenues and the percentage of 1.8%, the value of the remuneration related to net revenues of iron ore is R$ 118.5 million.

In Vale’s Southeastern System, iron ore sales from the mineral deposits covered by the Private Deed for Shareholder Debentures totaled 1,166 million metric tons until December 31, 2015. Should the annual sales volumes of iron ore from the Southeastern System remain the same as the volumes reached in the last semester, the level of 1.7 billion metric tons is expected to be reached by December 2022. However, this forecast may not be confirmed, resulting on either the anticipation or delay of the aforementioned dates for reaching the accumulated sales levels.

Copper in concentrate

In 2H15, sales of copper concentrate from Sossego totaled 185 thousand metric tons (equivalent to approximately 50 thousand metric tons of contained copper), 7.04% lower than the 199 thousand metric tons of sales recorded in 1H15 (equivalent to approximately 54 thousand metric tons of contained copper).

Sales of that product generated net revenues of R$ 764.2 million, a 10.0% decrease when compared to the R$ 851.9 million in 1H15, due to lower sales volumes and the decrease of the average realized price, which decreased from US$ 4,871/t in 1H15 to US$ 3,858 in 2H15.
