Vale has made a strategic investment by purchasing a 30% stake in Ligga, which operates the Ferro Sul iron ore mine in the Carajás region between Curionópolis and Parauapebas. The move consolidates Vale's position in a key mining area, though financial terms and strategic rationale remain undisclosed.
