Hoover's coverage by Mark Richardson

Overview

Vale has more than just one iron in the fire. Iron ore and pellets account for more than two-thirds of Vale's sales, and the company accounts for a third of the world's ocean-shipped iron ore. Vale also mines for bauxite, nickel, kaolin, and potash. Other products include steel, copper, and aluminum. It has holdings in hydroelectric power generation and in the rail and shipping businesses, mainly to support its mining activities in Brazil. The company is the world's second-largest iron ore miner, having grown dramatically with the 2006 acquisition of Vale Limited (formerly Vale Inco). To keep all of its materials coming out of the ground, Vale maintains its exploration efforts in 24 countries around the world.
