Vale reports highest Q2 iron ore production since 2018 at 84.2 million metric tons

Vale's iron ore output rose 0.8% year-over-year in Q2 2026, driven by record performance at the S11D project and new volumes from Capanema and VGR1. This production milestone reflects successful operational scaling in Brazil, though it remains subject to broader global demand fluctuations for steel-making raw materials.
