Vale produced 69.6 million tons of iron ore in the first quarter of 2026, a volume 3% higher than that recorded in the same period of 2025, according to an operational report released by the company this Thursday (16). The performance was driven by the ramp-up of projects such as Capanema and VGR1, in addition to production records at the S11D and Brucutu complexes. In the commercial field, the mining company recorded sales of 68.7 million tons in the quarter, up 3.9% year-on-year.
