Vale<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is currently focusing on its own assets rather than pursuing mergers and acquisitions, said CEO\u00a0Gustavo Pimenta<\/strong>\u00a0on Tuesday (28). When asked about the possibility of a counteroffer related to the merger deal between\u00a0Anglo American<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Teck Resources<\/strong>, the executive stated that \u201cis not on the company\u2019s agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cOur main differentiator today is the development of our own ore bodies,\u201d Mr. Pimenta told reporters after participating in Exposibram, a mining conference organized by the\u00a0Brazilian Mining Institute (IBRAM)<\/strong>\u00a0in Salvador, Bahia. \u201cWe have a mineral endowment, especially in Caraj\u00e1s, that allows us to grow organically through project development. That\u2019s the company\u2019s focus,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In September, Anglo American signed a merger agreement with Canada\u2019s Teck Resources, which, if finalized, would form a copper mining powerhouse valued at roughly $50 billion. Anglo American, listed on the London Stock Exchange, will own 62.4% of the combined firm, while Teck shareholders will hold the rest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When asked if Vale might consider acquiring another copper producer, Mr. Pimenta reiterated that the company is not pursuing mergers or acquisitions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Even so, he did not rule out the possibility of doing business with\u00a0Bahia Minera\u00e7\u00e3o (Bamin)<\/strong>. \u201cWe are always monitoring all development projects in Brazil, especially iron ore,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have other capital allocation priorities, but we\u2019re always looking at opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

According to\u00a0Reuters<\/strong>, shareholders of Bamin\u2014part of the\u00a0Eurasian Resources Group of Kazakhstan<\/strong>\u2014are currently evaluating interest from three potential investors, said\u00a0Eduardo Ledsham<\/strong>, the company\u2019s CEO. The investors might acquire either a stake or full control of the iron ore producer, whose expansion plan would need about $6 billion in investments. Market expectations suggest that one investor will be chosen to proceed with negotiations, likely by early 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Speaking at Exposibram, Mr. Pimenta said Vale expects to reclaim its position as the world\u2019s largest iron ore producer this year, aiming to reach 360 million tonnes of annual output by the end of the decade. The company\u2019s third-quarter production was already its highest since 2018. Vale lost the top spot to\u00a0Anglo-Australian Rio Tinto<\/strong>\u00a0shortly after the\u00a0Brumadinho disaster<\/strong>\u00a0in 2019, when a tailings dam at an iron mine collapsed, killing 270 people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mr. Pimenta reaffirmed Vale\u2019s dedication to expanding its product lineup to meet customer needs and support global decarbonization efforts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe believe these cycles will remain constructive for the mining industry, especially for high-grade ores that are key to the energy transition,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

According to the executive, Vale is well-positioned in the global effort to cut greenhouse gas emissions and highlighted the company\u2019s green briquette, an innovation for lower-carbon steelmaking. \u201cThis decarbonization route favors high-quality ores,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re potential winners in the world\u2019s decarbonization agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As\u00a0Valor<\/strong>\u00a0reported on October 1, when Mr. Pimenta marked one year as CEO, the company has been working to demonstrate to investors improvements in dam management and safety practices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cNow that we no longer have any level-3 dams, we can attract more investors,\u201d Mr. Pimenta said Tuesday. \u201cThe mining of the future means ending the use of tailings dams.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
