Production and sales highlights Rio de Janeiro, October 15th, 2018 – Vale S.A (Vale) broke the emblematic production barrier of 100 Mt of iron ore fines in a quarter, reaching a production record of 104.9 Mt in 3Q18 vs 96.8 Mt in 2Q18 and achieving a production rate of 400 Mtpy. This reflected in a new sales record for iron ore and pellets of 98.2 Mt in 3Q18, 4.7 Mt higher than the previous record in 4Q17. Premium products1 made up 79% of total sales in 3Q18 (vs. 77% in 2Q18) and together with the consolidation of the differentiation strategy of Vale`s product portfolio resulted in contributions of quality and average premium to a realized price of iron ore fines of US$ 8.6/t in 3Q18 vs US$ 7.1/t in 2Q18 and US$ 5.6/t in 3Q17. Vale’s superior product portfolio with high Fe content and low contaminants continues to improve. On average, Fe content reached 64.0% in 3Q18 vs 63.8% in 2Q18, alumina 1.2% in 3Q18 vs 1.3% in 2Q18 and silica 3.9% in 3Q18 vs 4.2% in 2Q18. S11D had an important role in improving the share of premium products on sales to 79% in 3Q18 from 77% in 2Q18, reaching another quarterly production record of 16.1 Mt in 3Q18 vs 14.3 Mt in 2Q18, and achieving a production rate of approximately 70% of its nominal capacity in 3Q18. The breakthrough technology of the truckless system is proving effective and adherent to physical planning. Annual production in 2018 will be towards the upper limit of the 50-55 Mt guidance. Vale reaffirms its iron ore production guidance of about 390 Mt and about 400 Mt for 2018 and 2019 onwards, respectively, as previously announced on Vale Day. Vale achieved a quarterly pellet production record of 13.9 Mt, 1.1 Mt higher than in 2Q18 mainly due to the successful ramp-up of the Tubarão I and II pellet plants.The year to date performance together with the restart of the São Luis pellet plant in 3Q18 will lead Vale to achieve its production guidance of 55 Mt in 2018 and 60 Mt in 2019. As previously announced, nickel operations in 3Q18 reflected planned one-off effects derived from Sudbury’s scheduled maintenance shutdown. It was Sudbury’s first annual maintenance since the shift to a single furnace and it occurred concomitantly with Thompson’s transition to a mine-mill operation. Given that Thompson’s feed is now sent for smelting at Sudbury, 1 Pellets, Carajás, BRBF (Brazilian Blend Fines), pellet feed and sinter feed low alumina 3

temporary effects on both operations led to overall nickel production of 55,700 t in 3Q18. These two one-offs affected only 3Q18 and now, with an enhanced flowsheet between Thompson and Sudbury, production is expected to go back to previous guidance levels from 4Q18 onwards. Sequential improvements are also expected in 2019 as the nickel business is under restructuring, with the new management team aiming to adjust mine plans, optimize nickel’s cost structure and achieve higher efficiency. Copper production reached 94,500 t in 3Q18, 3,400 t lower that in 2Q18, reflecting the annual scheduled maintenance shutdown in Sudbury and the strategic decision to decrease mine production at Voisey’s Bay to extend the mine lifespan to match the Voisey´s Bay Mine Extension - VBME underground development schedule. As previously reported, the Coal business is reviewing mine plans and operations to ensure a sustainable ramp-up from 2019 onwards. The structural changes started to bear fruit in 3Q18, with production totaling 3.2 Mt, 11.3% higher than 2Q18.

Production and sales overview The iron ore production record of 104.9 Mt in 3Q18 was 10.3% higher than in 3Q17, as a result of the S11D ramp-up, and 8.5% higher than in 2Q18 mainly due the usual weather-related seasonality and the performance of S11D. The sales mix has been consistently improving mainly as a result of S11D and Tubarão I and II pellet plants ramp-ups. The share of premium products (pellets, Carajás, BRBF, pellet feed and sinter feed low alumina) increased to 79% in 3Q18, contributing to the US$ 1.5/t increase of Vale’s average premium to the realized iron ore fines CFR/FOB wmt price in 3Q18 vs. 2Q182. Vale continued the build-up of offshore inventories to increase the flexibility of the supply chain and product portfolio.

Production and sales overview As anticipated in the last production and sales report, Sudbury conducted its annual scheduled maintenance shutdown and Thompson transitioned to a mine-mill operation, with its concentrate being sent to the Sudbury smelter for further processing. As a consequence, production of finished nickel reached 55,700 t in 3Q18, 15.9% lower than in 2Q18. In 4Q18, nickel production is expected to reach close to 60,000 t as Sudbury returned from its annual scheduled maintenance shutdown in mid-September. Sales volumes of nickel were 57,300 t in 3Q18, a decrease compared to 2Q18. Sales volumes did not decrease to the same extent as the production in 3Q18 mainly due to a drawdown of finished inventory in the quarter versus a buildup in 2Q18. Canadian operations Production from the Sudbury mines reached 9,200 t in 3Q18, 4,100 t lower than in 2Q18. The decrease compared to 2Q18 was mainly due to the 3Q18 scheduled maintenance shutdown 11 Feed from third parties²2.14.81.79.98.9-56.3%23.5%11.2% NICKEL PRODUCTION55.766.272.7180.6210.1-15.9%-23.4%-14.0% NICKEL SALES57.361.671.3176.8214.8-7.0%-19.6%-17.7% New Caledonia¹7.59.410.124.229.3-20.2%-25.7%-17.4% Voisey's Bay8.49.510.427.538.6-11.6%-19.2%-28.8% Sudbury9.213.318.536.544.2-30.8%-50.3%-17.4% % change 000’ metric tons3Q182Q183Q179M189M17 3Q18/2Q183Q18/3Q17 9M18/9M17

that impacted mines and surface plants. The scheduled shutdown included the completion of the Atmospheric Emission Reduction (AER) project. Production from the Thompson mines reached 1,900 t in 3Q18, 3,900 t lower than in 2Q18. In 3Q18, Thompson transitioned fully to a mine and mill operation and its concentrate will be processed in Sudbury for the foreseeable future. In 3Q18 Thompson’s finished nickel production was impacted as Thompson’s feed was not processed during Sudbury’s scheduled maintenance. Production from the Voisey’s Bay mine reached 8,400 t in 3Q18, 1,100 t lower than in 2Q18. The decrease was mainly due to the strategic decision to decrease production output to extend the mine’s lifespan to match the Voysey’s Bay Mine Extension - VBME underground development schedule. Production at the Long Harbour processing plant reached 8,300 t in 3Q18, 600 t lower than in 2Q18 as a result of the scheduled maintenance shutdown in August 2018. Indonesian operation (PTVI) PTVI nickel in matte production reached 18,800 t in 3Q18, in line with 2Q18. Production of finished nickel from PTVI reached 20,600 t in 3Q18, 15.7% higher than in 2Q18. The increase was mainly due to having established healthy feed stock inventory levels in previous periods, therefore Clydach consumed PTVI source material at high rates without compromising future production. PTVI source feed represents a primary source of feed at Class I Clydach rather than at our Class II Utility Nickel refineries. This represents a longer route to market but aims to maximize production of higher value carbonyl Class I products, in line with Vale’s margin optimization strategy for the nickel business. New Caledonia operation (VNC) All the viable options for a stable and profitable operation that may lead to a sustainable business in the long haul are being assessed. Vale is supportive of its New Caledonian business and is currently studying options that, among other alternatives, include a revamped mining plan to enhance value generation from the asset and explore its cobalt potential in support of the EV batteries market. Vale is aiming to reach a decision on which alternative will be followed, possibly until the end of this year. Production of NiO and NHC (nickel oxide and nickel hydroxide cake) at the VNC site (prior to shipping to Dalian in China for refining) was 6,900 t in 3Q18, 8% lower than in 2Q18. The decrease was mainly related to lower ore deliveries from the mine and refinery limitations. Additional trucks were added to the mining fleet in September to increase mine production in 4Q18. NiO accounted for 86% and NHC for 14% of VNC’s 3Q18 site production. 12

Production of finished products from VNC source material reached 7,500 t in 3Q18, 20.2% lower than in 2Q18. Production was lower as higher levels of NiO were sent to Dalian to be refined into Utility Nickel during 3Q18, whereas in 2Q18 part of NiO was sold directly to the market in response to product demand, including in the EV battery supply chain. The difference in the time required to have nickel oxide sold immediately to the market as a saleable product and the lead time required to transport and refine it into Utility Nickel at the Dalian refinery were factors that reduced VNC source production in 3Q18. Brazilian operation (Onça Puma) Production from the Onça Puma operation reached 6,100 t in 3Q18, 8.9% higher than 2Q18. Production was higher than in 2Q18 due to greater furnace availability. 13

Cobalt production from Sudbury was 83 t in 3Q18, 46.8% lower than in 2Q18. The decrease from previous periods reflected the 3Q18 scheduled maintenance shutdown in Sudbury. Production from Thompson source was 37 t in 3Q18, 33.9% lower than in 2Q18, reflecting Thompson’s transition to a mine-mill complex in 3Q18 and the scheduled maintenance in Sudbury. Production from Voisey’s Bay was 371 t in 3Q18, 22.5% lower than in 2Q18. Production was adversely impacted in 3Q18 due to scheduled maintenance at Long Harbour and the consumption of all Voisey’s Bay product at Sudbury. Cobalt from Voisey’s Bay source is produced solely as cobalt rounds at the Long Harbour refinery. Production from VNC reached 460 t in 3Q18, 6.9% lower than in 2Q18. Production in 3Q18 was adversely impacted by lower mine deliveries and lower cobalt grades in the VNC feed. In order to optimize cobalt value and in light of current market conditions – especially related to EVs – VNC’s mining plan is being reviewed. Production from other sources was 77 t in 3Q18, 34.7% lower than in 2Q18.

Knowledge and operating standards from the iron ore business are being implemented and actions are ongoing to ensure a sustainable ramp-up from 2019 onwards, such as the increase in removal of overburden, opening of new mine sections, preparation of selected mining pits for future tailings disposals – initiatives that bring short term impact at 2018 production levels and product splits. As a result of the ongoing implementation of these structural changes, coal production guidance was reviewed to approximately 12 Mt in 2018. In 3Q18, coal production totaled 3.2 Mt, 11.3% higher than 2Q18 and in line with 3Q17. The higher production vs. 2Q18 was mainly due to the improvement of the main operational indicators. Production of metallurgical coal was 1.6 Mt, in line with 2Q18 and 15.8% lower than 3Q17 and thermal coal production was 1.6 Mt, 24.4% higher than 2Q18 and 20.1% higher than 3Q17. Sales totaled 3.2 Mt, 27.3% higher than 2Q18 and in line with 3Q17, aligned with production. The higher sales volume vs. 2Q18 was mainly due to the drawdown of the inventory formed in 2Q18, as previously announced. 19 Thermal coal1,584 1,101 1,2793,750 3,37443.9% 23.8% 11.1% Thermal Coal1,634 1,313 1,3603,978 3,15024.4% 20.1% 26.3% COAL SALES3,195 2,509 3,1488,200 8,83727.3% 1.5% -7.2% % change 000’ metric tons3Q18 2Q18 3Q179M18 9M173Q18/2Q18 3Q18/3Q17 9M18/9M17 COAL PRODUCTION3,194 2,871 3,2138,497 8,68411.3% -0.6% -2.2%
