Market Capitalisation 43.75 USD billion as 28/08/2025

  • Vale will fund JV development activities up to USD 120 million : including the BFS, environmental impact studies and Impact benefit Agreements with First Nations

Iron Ore production 328 Mt in 2024

  • Vale’s interest will increase up to 75% when the second tranche is spent or Vale elects to progress the Project to Decision to Mine.

CAPEX

  • 6.0 USD billion in 2024

  • • If Vale elects to proceed to Decision to Mine (DTM) , Vale can elect to acquire the remaining 25% of the Project at fair value[2] or Vale can elect to carry Incorporated in Brazil Cyclone to production with no dilution Listed on NYSE, Brazil and Euronext

  • 1: Refer to ASX announcement dated 17[th] of February 2025 “Cyclone Metals and Vale execute Development Agreement for the Iron Bear Project”

  • 2: Determined as the average of 3 independent valuations which must be within 20% of each other
