Press Release

*Vale obtains installation license for railway spur*

Rio de Janeiro, May 6, 2013 — Vale S.A. (Vale) informs that it has been granted the installation license (LI) and vegetation clearing permit for the rail spur that will connect the Southern Range of Carajás mining district to the Carajás railway (EFC), in state of Pará, Brazil, issued by the Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis (IBAMA).

The licenses allows us to start the construction of the 101 km rail spur that will connect S11D stockyard to EFC, of which 85 km refers to the main line and 16 km to the rail loop. The rail spur is part of the CLN S11D project, which will allow the expansion of Carajás logistics capacity to 230 million metric tons per year of iron ore.

S11D is the largest project in Vale’s history and also in the iron ore industry, being our major lever for production capacity growth and for maintaining Vale’s undisputed leadership in the global market in terms of volume, cost and quality.
