3 Austerity and simplicity are critical principles to guide our decision making progress Key strategic priorities Capital effiency: extracting maximum value from existing and new assets. Implementing multiple initiatives to generate a lowcost structure on a permanent basis. Preserving our strong balance sheet and A credit rating. 3

4 Our asset portfolio is being managed to maximize shareholder value Stronger internal competition for project funding: only world-class assets are eligible. Divestment of non-core assets. Availability for partnership in selected businesses and assets. 4

5 Eliminating uncertainties: several milestones achieved in the last 18 months 5 Tax disputes solved without major pressures on our cash flow. Brazilian state taxes (TFRM/ICMS). Swiss income taxes. Brazil s income tax on CFC. Most important projects with environmental permits. Carajás S11D. CLN S11D. CLN 150. Conceição Itabiritos.

7 Sustainability at Vale focus, integration and engagement In 2013, the Sustainability Agenda played a central role in the company s strategic planning process. Vale defined eight priority areas. For each of them, the company developed strategic projects. EMPLOYEES COMMUNITIES ENVIRONMENT GREAT PLACE TO WORK EMISSIONS REDUCTION HEALTH AND SAFETY WATER LOCAL DEVELOPMENT LAND USE AND BIODIVERSITY STAKEHOLDERS ENGAGEMENT RESIDUES 7

8 A culture of genuine care delivering operational excellence Total recordable injuries frequency rate¹ 3.33 per million hours worked ¹ Medical treatment, restricted work, fatalities and lost time. Includes employees and contractors. Actions: Active leadership involvement. Implementation of the health and safety management system. Golden rules. Enhanced training for high risk activities. Safety training for leaders. Focus on high potential incidents. Risk reduction through technical improvements. Malaria prevention program. 8

It took 24 years for the rules to become clear 9

33 Iron ore seaborne demand and global crude steel production will grow 34% and 23% respectively until 2020, mainly driven by Asia and Emerging Economies Rest of the World (Mt) World (Mt) Asia (Mt) Growth : +21% Growth : +23% Growth : +24% 58% Growth 45% % : 35% +25% Growth : +34% Growth : +35% The shift to Asia will continue but at lower pace. Seaborne iron ore market penetration is much higher in Asia and emerging economies than developed nations. Developed/traditional economies have more availability of scrap or captive mines (NAFTA, CIS, Europe). 33 Source: Vale estimates

34 Scrap availability will not be an issue in the next 10 years and this threat has been overrated, just like verticalization was in the beginning of this decade 34 Iron ore production controlled by steel industry 28% 23% Several factors caused verticalization to reduce instead of increase over last decade: Supply growth by mining companies. Scarcity of tier 1 deposits (size and quality). Increasing CAPEX. Infrastructure / logistic bottlenecks. Alternatives (off-take agreements, JV s). Sources: UNCTAD, WSA, Vale estimates 90% 85% 80% 75% 70% 65% Global pig iron + DRI production as a percentage of crude steel consumption? 60% Chinese scrap generation and usage growth should be relatively slow and does not constitute an imminent threat to iron ore demand: Majority of obsolete scrap is from construction - low quality and difficult to collect. China lacks large scale and well-structured network for scrap collection. China s industrial electricity is relatively scarce and expensive.

35 The threat of oversupply is also exaggerated. One third of the new capacity will only replace depletion Traditional players Have greater cash availability and lower dependence on external funding. Synergies with existing operations. Best reserves, consequently better cost / ton. Time-to-market. Probable recovery of market share. 1.1 Iron ore seaborne supply capacity 000 Mt Projects Current Operation New entrants 1/3 Dependence on external financing in times of volatile and high risk. "Window" to enter the market closing. Greater exposure to countries with high geopolitical risk and / or poor infrastructure. Even projects already under construction, but still without full funding, are at risk. replacement Source: Vale estimates

47 Base metals strategy Value drivers Key initiatives 1. Delivering positive cash flow results Gold streaming transaction (US$ 1.9 billion). Reduction in operating costs, SG&A and R&D (US$ 800 million Q3 ytd) Finalize ramp ups of new operations. Idling of non-profitable mines in short and mid term & optimizing mine plan sequencing. 2. Value over volume in feed generation Focus on only high value feed resulting in closure of one furnace in Sudbury (maximize asset utilization) and consequently reducing about US$1billion of sustaining capex (AER). Planning to top up the shortfall in North Atlantic refinery s output by feeding Ni units from PTVI and Thompson. Analyzing synergies in the Sudbury basin and elsewhere. 47

Progressing to generation of US$ 1 billion in annual cash flow. Further growth opportunities possible and being studied. Cu production ('000 t)

50 Long Harbour processing plant: mechanical construction completed on October 30, 2013 Long Harbour is a state-of-the-art hydrometallurgical facility that will produce: 50,000 tpy of nickel 4,500 tpy of copper 2,500 tpy of cobalt 50 Benefits of the Long Harbour facility: Flowsheet optimization with significant capital avoidance at other Vale operations through: Sudbury: - Rightsizing smelting facilities (to one furnace operation). - Reduction of US$1 billion AER capex and reduction of smelting opex. Thompson: Significantly reducing sustaining capex by shutting down old refinery and avoiding AER capex in the near future. Zero SO 2 emissions and improved H&S conditions due to increased automation Seaborne facility, with global access to open market feed and improved logistics Vale Newfoundland & Labrador will be a 1 st quartile C1 cost vertically integrated operation with higher metal recovery (including Cu and Co by products)

In November, a sub-marine effluent pipeline ruptured without any environmental impact. Work to reconnect and stabilize the pipe has been initiated and we anticipate restarting production at the end of the year production target ~ 40,000 t Ni. On track for positive financial results with future expected free cash flow generation of over US$ 500 million. 52

57 Our strategy is grounded on two pillars of competitive advantage: Vale s expertise in mining and reach into Brazil Phosphates Largest fertilizer producer in Brazil, with 5.5 Mtpy capacity. 5 bulk mining operations in Brazil and 1 in Peru, with total phosphate rock capacity of 9.2 Mtpy. Integrated plants: 6.2 Mtpy of MAP, DCP, SSP and TSP. 5 warehouses and distribution centers guarantee competitiveness in major Brazilian markets. Unfolding the map: sourcing competitive supply from Bayóvar enhances synergies between our operations. Potash 21 years of experience in potash production and marketing. Experience in solution mining experienced team and two pilot plants. Strong customer ties from our wide suite of products and geographically diversified network and reach into Brazil. Leverage from integrated logistics will contribute to competitive delivered costs into our markets.

59 Partnerships with strategic industry players can unlock value from our promising project portfolio Key projects Project-level JVs to fast-track and bring in capabilities and markets aiming at the best strategic fit. Potash: discussions well advanced. Phosphates: Bayovar expansion studies advancing with current partners. Fertilizer vehicle Creation of a fertilizer business capable of attracting world class partners, building on Vale s strategic positioning. Partnerships on our potash and phosphates projects will guarantee future growth, reducing capital commitment and risks to the business 59
