a heightened cybersecurity-related risk, we assign risk owners to develop and track risk mitigation plans. We use several tools to monitor
risks, including key risk indicators (KRIs) and independent assessments of critical controls by specialized teams.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 10pt 0; color: #242424; text-align: justify"&gt;In case of a cyber incident,

procedures for informing relevant internal groups and the Board of Directors as needed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 10pt 0; color: #242424; text-align: justify"&gt;Our Cybersecurity Risk

Brazil, the Company produces copper concentrates at Sossego and Salobo, located in Caraj&#xe1;s, in the state of Par&#xe1;. In Canada,
through Vale Canada, it produces copper concentrates and cathodes associated with nickel operations in Sudbury (Ontario) and Voisey&#x2019;s
Bay (Newfoundland and Labrador).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Vale Sans,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #555555"&gt;In Sudbury, the ore extracted generates cobalt, PGMs,
silver, and gold as by-products, which are processed at the refining facilities in Port Colborne (Ontario). In Canada, the Company also
produces refined cobalt at Long Harbour (Newfoundland and Labrador). The copper operations at Sossego and Salobo also produce silver and
gold as by-products. The Company also has streaming transactions related to nickel and copper by-products, as presented in note 10 to
these financial statements.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company also engages in greenfield
mineral exploration in five countries: Brazil, Canada, Chile, Peru, and Indonesia. In addition, Vale holds interests
in associates and joint ventures, primarily involved in the production of ferrous products and base metals, in the operation of logistics
infrastructure, and in energy businesses that aim to meet part of Vale&#x2019;s consumption needs through renewable sources. The list of
the Company&#x2019;s investments in subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures is presented in note 30.&lt;/p&gt;

    sales&lt;/span&gt; -&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;Revenue from sales is recognized when control of a good or service is transferred to a
    customer. Given the diverse shipping terms associated with Vale's sales, revenue may be recognized at various stages: (i) when the product
    is available at the loading port, (ii) upon loading onto the ship, (iii) at the port of discharge, or (iv) at the customer's warehouse.
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;A substantial portion of Vale's sales
    operates under Cost and Freight ("CFR") and Cost, Insurance, and Freight ("CIF") Incoterms. In these instances, where
    the Company provides shipping services after the transfer of control, such services are treated as a distinct performance obligation.
    A portion of the transaction price is allocated and recognized over time as the shipping services are rendered.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Typically, contract payment terms
    involve upfront payments or the utilization of letters of credit. These terms generally do not have a significant financing component.
    Occasionally, sale prices are provisionally set at the sale date, with subsequent adjustments based on market fluctuations or contractual
    terms until the final pricing date.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0 1.5pt; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Revenue recognition is based
    on the estimated fair value of the total consideration receivable. The provisional pricing mechanism embedded in these sales arrangements
    is deemed to have the characteristics of a derivative. Consequently, the fair value of the final sale price adjustment is continuously
    reassessed, and any changes are recognized as operational revenue in the income statement.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p id="xdx_85F_zpG5m5AG7jag" style="font: 1pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 1.5pt 0pt; text-align: justify; color: rgb(85,85,85)"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

    sales&lt;/span&gt; -&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;Revenue from sales is recognized when control of a good or service is transferred to a
    customer. Given the diverse shipping terms associated with Vale's sales, revenue may be recognized at various stages: (i) when the product
    is available at the loading port, (ii) upon loading onto the ship, (iii) at the port of discharge, or (iv) at the customer's warehouse.
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;A substantial portion of Vale's sales
    operates under Cost and Freight ("CFR") and Cost, Insurance, and Freight ("CIF") Incoterms. In these instances, where
    the Company provides shipping services after the transfer of control, such services are treated as a distinct performance obligation.
    A portion of the transaction price is allocated and recognized over time as the shipping services are rendered.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Typically, contract payment terms
    involve upfront payments or the utilization of letters of credit. These terms generally do not have a significant financing component.
    Occasionally, sale prices are provisionally set at the sale date, with subsequent adjustments based on market fluctuations or contractual
    terms until the final pricing date.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0 1.5pt; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Revenue recognition is based
    on the estimated fair value of the total consideration receivable. The provisional pricing mechanism embedded in these sales arrangements
    is deemed to have the characteristics of a derivative. Consequently, the fair value of the final sale price adjustment is continuously
    reassessed, and any changes are recognized as operational revenue in the income statement.&lt;/p&gt;

to the write-off of deferred tax assets on tax loss carryforwards resulting from the update of the estimated future taxable profits in
subsidiaries in Canada and Switzerland, mainly due to changes in long-term assumptions. Consequently, there is a tax loss carryforward
balance amounting to U$$6,352 (2024: US$4,002), related to Vale S.A.&#x2019;s subsidiaries, for which no deferred tax asset has been recognized
as of December 31, 2025.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;c) Tax incentives&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/12pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In Brazil, the Company has tax incentives
to partially reduce the income tax generated by the operations conducted in the north region that includes iron ore and copper (&#x201c;Tax
Incentives&#x201d;). The incentive is calculated based on the taxable income of the incentivized activity (tax operating income) and considers
the allocation of operating profit according to the levels of incentivized production during the periods defined as eligible for each
product, usually 10 years. In addition to these incentives, part of the income tax payable can be reinvested in the acquisition of new
machinery and equipment, subject to subsequent approval by the &lt;i&gt;Superintend&#xea;ncia de Desenvolvimento da Amaz&#xf4;nia&lt;/i&gt; (&#x201c;SUDAM&#x201d;).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;As determined by the Brazilian law
and Resolution of the SUDAM Deliberative Council No. 136, which requires the reinvestment to be capitalized, the tax savings obtained
due to these incentives must be recorded in the retained earnings reserve in equity and cannot be distributed as dividends to shareholders.
The impact of the Tax Incentives on the effective tax rate on income is presented as &#x201c;tax incentives&#x201d; in item (a) of this
note.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The &lt;i&gt;Lei Complementar No.&lt;/i&gt; 224
(&#x201c;LC 224&#x201d;), enacted in December 2025 and effective from 2026, establishes a linear 10% reduction in federal tax incentives
and benefits. The Tax Incentives currently granted to the Company, which expire between 2028 and 2035, will not be affected by LC 224.
As their expiration dates approach, Vale assesses and undertakes the necessary procedures to obtain new qualification and approval. If
successful with the competent authorities, the new incentives will be granted with the aforementioned 10% reduction. Consequently, the
income tax reduction will decrease from the current 75.0% to 67.5%, reflecting the adjustments introduced by LC 224 in relation to newly
granted incentives.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company is engaged in administrative
and judicial discussions with tax authorities in Brazil in relation to certain tax positions adopted by the Company for calculating income
tax and social contribution on net income. The final determination is uncertain and depends on factors not controlled by the Company,
such as changes in case law and changes in tax laws and regulations. The tax positions adopted by Vale are supported by legal advisors
and the Company is subject to the assessment of income tax by local tax authorities in a range up to 10 years depending on jurisdiction
where the Company operates.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The amount

the IRPJ and CSLL, for the years of 2015 and 2020 as the tax agent has disregarded the intermediation costs and other adjustments used

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In December 2025, Vale obtained a
favorable first-instance judicial decision regarding the tax assessment for the 2018 base year, applying the interpretation established
by the Brazilian Superior Court of Justice (STJ) under Theme No. 1,319. As a result, the estimated loss related to this tax assessment
was partially reclassified to a remote loss prognosis.&lt;/p&gt;

due to the disregard of taxes paid abroad that were offset by the IRPJ debt in 2016. Tax authorities allege the Company has failed to

appeal and obtained a favorable decision at the Administrative Council of Tax Appeals (CARF). The Federal Government filed an appeal,
which is pending judgment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

entered into the Transaction and Conduct Adjustment Agreement (&#x201c;TTAC&#x201d;). Vale understands that the deduction of such expenses
is adequate, since its liability is objective, arising from the obligation arising from the TTAC and its status as a shareholder of Samarco
and as a sponsor of Renova Foundation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The mentioned payments were deducted
until April 2023 when Vale entered into a binding agreement jointly with BHPB, Samarco, and certain creditors of Samarco, establishing
the parameters for the restructuring of Samarco's debt. This restructuring was implemented through a consensual reorganization plan, which
was approved by the Judicial Recovery Court in September 2023. According to the agreement, contributions made by Vale to the Renova Foundation
from May 2023 onward will be converted into capital contributions to Samarco and, therefore, will no longer be deductible. Further details

programs of claims regarding the collection of income tax and social contribution on equity gains of foreign subsidiaries and associates
from 2003 to 2012. This amount bears SELIC interest rate (Special System for Settlement and Custody) and will be paid in monthly installments
until October 2028 and the impact of the SELIC over the liability is recorded under the Company&#x2019;s financial results (note 18). SELIC
rate at the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, is 15.00% (2024: 12.25%).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;f) Global minimum tax (Pilar II)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In December 2021, the Organization
for Economic Co-operation and Development (&#x201c;OECD&#x201d;) issued the Pillar II model rules to reform international corporate
taxation. Multinational economic groups within the scope of these rules are required to calculate their effective tax rate in each country
in which they operate, the GloBE effective tax rate.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;When the GloBE effective tax rate
of any jurisdiction in which the group operates, based on the aggregated view of the entities located in that jurisdiction, is lower than
the minimum rate defined at 15%, the multinational group must pay a top-up tax corresponding to the difference between its GloBE effective
tax rate and the minimum rate.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company is subject to the OECD
Pillar II model rules in several jurisdictions, including Brazil, Canada and Switzerland, among others.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;There were no material impacts arising
from Pillar II on income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company applied the exception to the recognition and disclosure
of information on deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from tax law for the implementation of the OECD Pillar II model rules, according
to IAS 12 &#x2013; Income Taxes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;g) Value added taxes reform&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In 2025, a value added taxes reform
was enacted through the &lt;i&gt;Lei Complementar N&#xba;&lt;/i&gt; 214 ("Reform"), providing the replacement of taxes such as PIS, COFINS,
ICMS, ISS and IPI by the CBS and IBS, as well as the creation of the IS (&lt;i&gt;Imposto Seletivo&lt;/i&gt;), which applies to certain economic sectors,
including the mining sector.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The transition period to the new
taxation methodology will take place between 2026 and 2032, with no incidence of the new taxes implemented by the Reform in the first
year of transition. The Company is in the process of assessing the impacts arising from the Reform, which will be concluded in 2026.&lt;/p&gt;

    that operate in jurisdictions where the tax rate is lower than the tax rate applicable in Brazil, the Brazilian corporate tax law requires
    Vale S.A. to pay in Brazil the income tax related with the referred rate differential. Therefore, the income tax charge is computed in
    the consolidated financial statements using the tax rate enacted at the end of the reporting period in Brazil.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span id="xdx_860_z6XVQ7Iy82Id" style="display: none"&gt;Taxes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Management regularly assesses positions
    taken in tax returns concerning situations where applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation. Provisions are established,
    as needed, based on expected amounts payable to tax authorities. Liabilities related to uncertain tax positions are recorded only when
    it is deemed, with a more-likely-than-not probability, that these positions will withstand challenges, if any, from taxing authorities,
    based on input from internal and external legal advisors.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Deferred income taxes are recognized
    for temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, as well as tax losses carryforwards.
    However, deferred tax liabilities arising from the initial recognition of goodwill are not recognized. Additionally, deferred income tax
    is not accounted for if it arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination
    and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss) and does not give rise to equal taxable
    and deductible temporary differences. Offset of deferred tax assets and liabilities occurs when there is a legally enforceable right to
    offset current tax assets and liabilities, and when the deferred tax balances pertain to the same taxation authority.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Deferred tax assets resulting from
    tax losses and temporary differences are not recognized when it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which
    these differences and/or tax losses can be utilized. The Company evaluates annually the recoverability of these deferred tax assets through
    the revision of the future taxable profit estimates.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Current and deferred tax is recognized
    in profit or loss unless it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In such cases, the tax is
    also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

    estimates and assumptions are required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that are recognized based on the likely timing and
    future taxable profits. Deferred tax assets arising from tax losses carryforward and temporary differences are recognized considering
    assumptions and projected cash flows. Deferred tax assets may be affected by factors including, but not limited to: (i) internal assumptions
    on the projected taxable income, which are based on production and sales planning, commodity prices, operational costs and planned capital
    costs; (ii) macroeconomic environment; and (iii) trade and tax scenarios.&lt;/p&gt;

    Company applies significant judgement to assess the probability that the adopted treatment will be accepted by the tax authorities
    and in measuring the amount of the related tax uncertainty, including the estimations of tax effects arising from the reduction of
    tax losses and negative basis of the CSLL, together with the corresponding fines and interest, which may affect the consolidated
    financial statements. The Company operates in multiple jurisdictions where uncertainties arise in the application of complex tax
    regulations. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to reviews of income tax filings and other tax payments, and disputes can
    arise with the taxing authorities over the interpretation of the applicable laws and regulations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 7pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424"&gt;(i) For the year ended December 31, 2025, the balance substantially relates
to the write-off of deferred tax assets on tax loss carryforwards resulting from the update of the estimated future taxable profits in
subsidiaries in Canada and Switzerland, mainly due to changes in long-term assumptions. Consequently, there is a tax loss carryforward
balance amounting to U$$6,352 (2024: US$4,002), related to Vale S.A.&#x2019;s subsidiaries, for which no deferred tax asset has been recognized
as of December 31, 2025.&lt;/p&gt;

    that operate in jurisdictions where the tax rate is lower than the tax rate applicable in Brazil, the Brazilian corporate tax law requires
    Vale S.A. to pay in Brazil the income tax related with the referred rate differential. Therefore, the income tax charge is computed in
    the consolidated financial statements using the tax rate enacted at the end of the reporting period in Brazil.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span id="xdx_860_z6XVQ7Iy82Id" style="display: none"&gt;Taxes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Management regularly assesses positions
    taken in tax returns concerning situations where applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation. Provisions are established,
    as needed, based on expected amounts payable to tax authorities. Liabilities related to uncertain tax positions are recorded only when
    it is deemed, with a more-likely-than-not probability, that these positions will withstand challenges, if any, from taxing authorities,
    based on input from internal and external legal advisors.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Deferred income taxes are recognized
    for temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, as well as tax losses carryforwards.
    However, deferred tax liabilities arising from the initial recognition of goodwill are not recognized. Additionally, deferred income tax
    is not accounted for if it arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination
    and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss) and does not give rise to equal taxable
    and deductible temporary differences. Offset of deferred tax assets and liabilities occurs when there is a legally enforceable right to
    offset current tax assets and liabilities, and when the deferred tax balances pertain to the same taxation authority.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Deferred tax assets resulting from
    tax losses and temporary differences are not recognized when it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which
    these differences and/or tax losses can be utilized. The Company evaluates annually the recoverability of these deferred tax assets through
    the revision of the future taxable profit estimates.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Current and deferred tax is recognized
    in profit or loss unless it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In such cases, the tax is

commodities sales -&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;The Company is mainly exposed to iron ore and copper price risk. The determination
of the final sales price for these commodities is based on the pricing period outlined in the sales contracts, typically occurring after
the revenue recognition date. Consequently, the Company initially recognizes revenue using a provisional invoice. Subsequently, the receivables
associated with provisionally priced products are measured at fair value through profit or loss (note 19). Any fluctuations in the value
of these receivables are reflected in the Company's net operating revenue. In the year ended December 31, 2025, the net operating revenue
arising from fair value adjustments to provisionally priced contracts totaled US$&lt;span id="xdx_90D_ecustom--NetOperatingRevenueArisingFromFairValueAdjustments_pn6n6_c20250101__20251231_zvzp912aZFh4" title="Net operating revenue arising from fair value adjustments"&gt;548&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    amounts receivable from the sale of products and services rendered by the Company and are recognized at fair value and subsequently measured
    at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for the components related to commodity sales with provisional pricing,
    which are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company applies the IFRS 9 - Financial
    Instruments simplified approach for measuring expected credit losses. This approach utilizes a lifetime expected loss allowance for the
    accounts receivable measured at amortized cost. A provision matrix, established by the Company, forms the basis for this measurement.
    The matrix incorporates historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the economic environment,
    and considers any financial guarantees associated with these accounts receivables.&lt;/p&gt;

    Instruments simplified approach for measuring expected credit losses. This approach utilizes a lifetime expected loss allowance for the
    accounts receivable measured at amortized cost. A provision matrix, established by the Company, forms the basis for this measurement.
    The matrix incorporates historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the economic environment,
    and considers any financial guarantees associated with these accounts receivables.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company enters into supplier
finance arrangements ("Arrangements") as part of the working capital strategy used in the Company's usual operating cycle, being
the payment term extension limited to a short-term period. The Company is also party in agreements structured so that certain suppliers
can advance their receivables with Vale due to purchases of materials and services, without any type of change in value or payment terms
for the Company. These supplier finance arrangements continue to be presented as suppliers in the Company's statement of financial position,
as the terms and conditions of the original liabilities were not substantially modified. The carrying amount related to these transactions

    transactions &lt;/span&gt;The Company bifurcates both streaming transactions in two identifiable components: (i) the sale of the

    -&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;The amount allocated to this component is recognized as revenue in the income statement when
    the Company transfers ownership of the mineral rights to the counterparty. The cost related to the component sold is recognized in the
    income statement at the same moment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Extraction services
    -&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;The Company recognizes contract liabilities in the event it receives payments from customers
    before a sale meets criteria for revenue recognition. Proceeds received under the terms of the streaming transaction allocated to this
    component are accounted for as &#x201c;streaming transactions&#x201d; and included within liabilities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Contract liability is initially
    recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and is subsequently carried at amortized cost and updated using the effective
    interest rate method. Contract liability is released to the income statement based on the units of production, that is, revenue is calculated
    based on volume produced compared to the total proved and probable reserves of gold or cobalt, which are reviewed and remeasured annually.&lt;/p&gt;

    mineral rights and (ii) provisions of extraction services.&lt;/p&gt;

    -&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;The amount allocated to this component is recognized as revenue in the income statement when
    the Company transfers ownership of the mineral rights to the counterparty. The cost related to the component sold is recognized in the
    income statement at the same moment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Extraction services
    -&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;The Company recognizes contract liabilities in the event it receives payments from customers
    before a sale meets criteria for revenue recognition. Proceeds received under the terms of the streaming transaction allocated to this
    component are accounted for as &#x201c;streaming transactions&#x201d; and included within liabilities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Contract liability is initially
    recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and is subsequently carried at amortized cost and updated using the effective
    interest rate method. Contract liability is released to the income statement based on the units of production, that is, revenue is calculated
    based on volume produced compared to the total proved and probable reserves of gold or cobalt, which are reviewed and remeasured annually.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company tested the recoverability
of the cash-generating units ("CGUs") for which impairment indicators were identified and, then, tested the recoverability of
the CGUs and group of CGUs for which goodwill has been allocated. The recoverable amount of each CGU under the Company&#x2019;s impairment
test was assessed using the fair value less costs of disposal model (&#x201c;FVLCD&#x201d;), through discounted cash flow techniques, which
is classified as &#x201c;level 3&#x201d; in the fair value hierarchy, taking into consideration offers and purchase agreements, when applicable.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The cash flows were projected in
real terms and discounted using a post-tax discount rate expressed in real terms, representing an estimate of the rate a market participant
would apply, considering the time value of money and the specific risk of the asset. The Company used the weighted average cost of capital
(&#x201c;WACC&#x201d;) of the mining segment as a starting point for determining the discount rates, with appropriate adjustments for the
risk profile of the countries in which the individual CGU operate.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The potential financial impacts of
    climate change and the transition to a low-carbon economy were considered in the assessment of the Company&#x2019;s critical accounting
    estimates, including indicators of impairment, such as: (i) Decreases in the demand for the Company&#x2019;s commodities, due to policy,
    regulatory (including carbon pricing mechanisms), legal, technological, market or societal responses to climate change; (ii) physical
    impacts related to risks resulting from increased frequency or severity of extreme weather events, and those related to chronic risks

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In the last quarter of 2025, the
Company completed and approved its strategic plan process, which includes a review of the key assumptions used in the Company&#x2019;s
long-term projections. The conclusion of this process indicated a reduction ranging from &lt;span id="xdx_906_ecustom--ProjectedNickelPrices_pip0_dp_c20251001__20251231__ifrs-full--RangeAxis__ifrs-full--BottomOfRangeMember_z6sz3NrWwyb7" title="Projected nickel prices, percenatge"&gt;11&lt;/span&gt;% to &lt;span id="xdx_904_ecustom--ProjectedNickelPrices_pip0_dp_c20251001__20251231__ifrs-full--RangeAxis__ifrs-full--TopOfRangeMember_zKjuhCaM0llj" title="Projected nickel prices, percenatge"&gt;21&lt;/span&gt;% in the projected nickel prices,
mainly due to the oversupply in the global nickel market, which was considered as an impairment trigger for the nickel CGUs. Thus, Vale
carried out impairment tests for the nickel CGUs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;After performing the impairment tests
for nickel CGUs individually, the Company carried out an impairment test for the group of nickel CGUs in Canada, to which goodwill has
been allocated.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/112% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company did not identify any impairment
indicators associated with the Copper CGUs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Nickel concentrate is shipped from
Thompson to be processed into finished and sealable material at another Vale Canada asset, and then sold and delivered to customers. Therefore,
the assets associated with the Thompson operation are part of one of the CGUs related to the nickel operations of the subsidiary Vale
Canada Limited. In January 2025, within the subsequent-events period for the financial statements for 2024, the Company initiated
a strategic review to evaluate alternatives, including the potential sale, of the assets associated with the Thompson operation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company reviewed the business

  &lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Since 2015, the Company has been
developing the Voisey&#x2019;s Bay mine expansion project in the Vale Newfoundland and Labrador operation, a subsidiary of the Company
that is considered a CGU. This project represented a significant shift from open-pit-only to two underground mining operations at Voisey's
Bay site.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In December 2024, the expansion project
was concluded, which was the beginning of its ramp-up phase. The Company identified operational challenges related to the production and
processing ore extracted from the underground mines, resulting in the revision of production costs and sustaining investments for this
CGU.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Due to the increase in operating
and investment costs associated solely with this CGU, Vale considered it as a triggering event for impairment testing. The test resulted
in an impairment loss of US$&lt;span id="xdx_901_ecustom--ReversalImpairmentLoss_pn6n6_c20250101__20251231__ifrs-full--JointOperationsAxis__custom--NickelOperationsMember__ifrs-full--GeographicalAreasAxis__custom--NewfoundlandAndLabradorCanadaMember_zoCJVAlZd048" title="Reversal impairment loss"&gt;540&lt;/span&gt; presented in the income statement as &#x201c;reversal (impairment) and result on disposal of non-current

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In 2006, the Company recorded goodwill
arising from the acquisition of Inco Limited, current Vale Canada Limited, which is allocated to the Canadian nickel CGUs and whose recoverability
is assessed annually.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In 2025, the impairment test resulted

    assets&lt;/span&gt; -&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;Non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
    indicate that the carrying amount might not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset&#xb4;s
    carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset&#x2019;s fair value less costs of disposal
    (&#x201c;FVLCD&#x201d;) and value in use (&#x201c;VIU&#x201d;).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;FVLCD is generally determined as
    the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continued use of the asset from a market participant&#x2019;s
    perspective, including any expansion prospects. The VIU model is determined as the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected
    to arise from the asset's continued use in its present form. Value in use is determined by applying assumptions specific to the Company&#x2019;s
    continued use and cannot take into account future development. These assumptions are different from those used in calculating fair value,
    and consequently, the VIU calculation is likely to give a different result to an FVLCD calculation.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Assets with an indefinite useful
    life and are not subject to amortization are tested annually for impairment.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;To assess impairment, assets are
    grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable CGU. Goodwill is allocated to CGU or CGU groups that are expected
    to benefit from the business combinations in which the goodwill arose and are identified in accordance with the operating segment.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Non-current assets (excluding goodwill)
    in which the Company recognized impairment in the past are reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the impairment
    may no longer be applicable. In such cases, an impairment reversal will be recognized.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: white"&gt;Significant judgements, estimates and assumptions
    are required to determine whether an impairment trigger occurred and prepare the Company&#x2019;s cash flows. Management uses the budgets
    approved as a starting point, and key assumptions are, but are not limited to: (i) mineral reserves and mineral resources measured by
    internal experts; (ii) costs and investments based on the best estimate of projects as supported by past performance; (iii) sale prices
    consistent with projections available in reports published by industry considering the market price when appropriate; (iv) the useful
    life of each cash-generating unit (ratio between production and mineral reserves); and (v) discount rates that reflect specific risks
    relating to the relevant assets in each cash-generating unit.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: white"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: white"&gt;These assumptions are susceptible to risks and
    uncertainties and may change the Company&#x2019;s projection and therefore, may affect the recoverable value of assets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

    assets&lt;/span&gt; -&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;Non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
    indicate that the carrying amount might not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset&#xb4;s
    carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset&#x2019;s fair value less costs of disposal
    (&#x201c;FVLCD&#x201d;) and value in use (&#x201c;VIU&#x201d;).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;FVLCD is generally determined as
    the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continued use of the asset from a market participant&#x2019;s
    perspective, including any expansion prospects. The VIU model is determined as the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected
    to arise from the asset's continued use in its present form. Value in use is determined by applying assumptions specific to the Company&#x2019;s
    continued use and cannot take into account future development. These assumptions are different from those used in calculating fair value,
    and consequently, the VIU calculation is likely to give a different result to an FVLCD calculation.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Assets with an indefinite useful
    life and are not subject to amortization are tested annually for impairment.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;To assess impairment, assets are
    grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable CGU. Goodwill is allocated to CGU or CGU groups that are expected
    to benefit from the business combinations in which the goodwill arose and are identified in accordance with the operating segment.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Non-current assets (excluding goodwill)
    in which the Company recognized impairment in the past are reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the impairment
    may no longer be applicable. In such cases, an impairment reversal will be recognized.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 5pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0 0; color: #FF0090"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: white"&gt;Significant judgements, estimates and assumptions
    are required to determine whether an impairment trigger occurred and prepare the Company&#x2019;s cash flows. Management uses the budgets
    approved as a starting point, and key assumptions are, but are not limited to: (i) mineral reserves and mineral resources measured by
    internal experts; (ii) costs and investments based on the best estimate of projects as supported by past performance; (iii) sale prices
    consistent with projections available in reports published by industry considering the market price when appropriate; (iv) the useful
    life of each cash-generating unit (ratio between production and mineral reserves); and (v) discount rates that reflect specific risks
    relating to the relevant assets in each cash-generating unit.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: white"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: white"&gt;These assumptions are susceptible to risks and
    uncertainties and may change the Company&#x2019;s projection and therefore, may affect the recoverable value of assets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In January 2026 (subsequent event),
there was an overflow of water mixed with sediments at the F&#xe1;brica and Viga mines, located in the municipalities of Ouro Preto
and Congonhas, Minas Gerais, respectively. The Municipality of Congonhas suspended the operating permits, resulting in the
shutdown of the F&#xe1;brica and Viga operations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In February 2026 (subsequent event),
the Company became aware of four legal proceedings related to the event, which seek the adoption of different interim measures, including
asset freezes, and were filed by the following authorities: &lt;span id="xdx_90B_eifrs-full--DescriptionOfExistenceOfRestrictionsOnTitlePropertyPlantAndEquipment_c20250101__20251231_zni33iYFL0fk" title="Property description"&gt;(i) the Federal Prosecutor&#x2019;s Office (MPF), which, in two separate actions,
requested asset freezes of US$182 and US$36 in connection with the overflows at F&#xe1;brica and Viga, respectively; (ii) the State
of Minas Gerais, in relation to the overflow at the Viga unit, requesting an asset freeze of US$182; and (iii) the State Prosecutor&#x2019;s
Office of Minas Gerais (MPMG) together with the State of Minas Gerais, in relation to the overflow at the F&#xe1;brica unit, requesting
an asset freeze of US$154, alleging the need to prevent the worsening of supposed environmental damages. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;All legal proceedings filed by the
authorities have already been promptly addressed by the Company, resulting in the dismissal of three out of the four requests for asset
freezes. At this time, it remains pending the action related to Viga, filed by the Federal Prosecutor&#x2019;s Office.&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

    the cost associated with the removal of overburden and other waste materials (&#x201c;stripping costs&#x201d;) incurred during the development
    of mines, before production takes place, are capitalized as part of the depreciable cost of the mineral properties. These costs are subsequently
    amortized over the useful life of the mine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Post-production stripping costs
    are included in the cost of inventory, except when a new project is developed to permit access to a significant ore deposit. In such cases,
    the cost is capitalized as a non-current asset and is amortized during the extraction of the ore deposits, over the useful life of the
    ore deposits.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

    and probable reserves are regularly evaluated and updated. These reserves are determined using generally accepted geological estimates.
    The calculation of reserves requires the Company to make assumptions about expected future conditions that are uncertain, including future
    ore prices, exchange rates, inflation rates, mining technology, availability of permits and production costs. Changes in assumptions could
    have a significant impact on the proven and probable reserves of the Company.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: white"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: white"&gt;The estimated volume of mineral reserves is used
    as basis for the calculation of depletion of the mineral properties, and also for the estimated useful life which is a major factor to
    quantify the provision for asset retirement obligation, environmental recovery of mines and impairment of long-lived asset. Any changes
    to the estimates of the volume of mine reserves and the useful lives of assets may have a significant impact on the depreciation, depletion
    and amortization charges and assessments of impairment.&lt;/p&gt;

    and probable reserves are regularly evaluated and updated. These reserves are determined using generally accepted geological estimates.
    The calculation of reserves requires the Company to make assumptions about expected future conditions that are uncertain, including future
    ore prices, exchange rates, inflation rates, mining technology, availability of permits and production costs. Changes in assumptions could
    have a significant impact on the proven and probable reserves of the Company.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: white"&gt;The estimated volume of mineral reserves is used
    as basis for the calculation of depletion of the mineral properties, and also for the estimated useful life which is a major factor to
    quantify the provision for asset retirement obligation, environmental recovery of mines and impairment of long-lived asset. Any changes
    to the estimates of the volume of mine reserves and the useful lives of assets may have a significant impact on the depreciation, depletion
    and amortization charges and assessments of impairment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company is subject to local laws
and regulations, that require the decommissioning of the assets that Vale operates at the end of their useful lives, therefore, expenses
related to the demobilization occur after the end of operational activities and throughout the life of operations through progressive
closures. These obligations are regulated in Brazil at the Federal and State levels by ANM (National Mining Agency) and Environmental
Agencies, respectively. Among the requirements, the closure plans must consider the physical, chemical and biological stability of the
areas and post-closure actions for the period necessary to verify the effectiveness of the decommissioning. These obligations are accrued
and are subject to critical estimates and assumptions applied to the measurement of costs by the Company. Depending on the geotechnical
characteristics of the structures, the Company is required to de-characterize the structures, as shown in item a) below.&lt;/p&gt;

projects are estimated for a period up to 13 years and were discounted to present value at an annual rate in real terms, which increased
from 7.36% to 7.77%.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;a) De-characterization of upstream geotechnical structures
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;As a result of the Brumadinho dam
failure (note 25) and, in compliance with laws and regulations, the Company has decided to accelerate the plan to &#x201c;de-characterize&#x201d;
of all its dams and dikes built under the upstream method, located in Brazil. These structures are in different stages of maturity, for
which the estimate of expenditures includes in its methodology a high degree of uncertainty in the definition of the total cost of the
project in accordance with best market practices.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company also operates tailings
dams in Canada, including upstream compacted dams. However, the Company decided that these dams will be decommissioned using other methods,
thus, the provision to carry out the decommissioning of dams in Canada is recognized as &#x201c;Obligations for decommissioning assets
and environmental obligations&#x201d;, as presented in item (b) below.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Laws and regulations related to dam safety&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In December 2023, the government
of Minas Gerais published decree No. 48,747, which regulates the measurement and execution of environmental guarantees individually for
each dam, based on the reservoir area, classification and purpose of the dam, and estimated de-characterization costs and should be kept
throughout the useful life of the dam, from its startup phase until the de-characterization and socio-environmental recovery.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In September 2024, the Company submitted
environmental guarantee proposals to the government with a total amount of US$274 (R$1.7 billion), which will be meet by providing property
mortgage and property fiduciary lien, financial guarantees or insurance and Vale expects that the financial costs to be incurred will
be immaterial.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In December 2024, the government
of Minas Gerais published Decree No. 48.977, which amended Decree No. 48.747 and established a new implementation schedule for the guarantees,
which should have a maximum term of 3 years from the approval of the proposals by the government of Minas Gerais, with half of this amount
within 12 months and the remainder within the following 2 years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Operational stoppage&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company has suspended some operations
due to judicial decisions or technical analysis performed by Vale regarding the safety of its geotechnical structures located in Brazil.

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The implementation and execution
of future use projects, after the decommissioning, is not required by law and is therefore not included in the provision. However, the
Company has been studying a governance to assess the future use, considering its aptitudes, post-operational usage intention, socio-economic
development of the community and the characteristics of the physical and biotic environments in which Vale operates. Any future obligations,
if assumed by Vale, may result in material impact on the amount of the provision.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Financial guarantees&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company has guarantees issued
by financial institutions in the amount of US$1,134 as of December 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024: US$1,091), in connection with the asset
retirement obligations for its Vale Base Metals operations. The financial cost of these guarantees is immaterial.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;A provision is recognized when there is
    a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation
    and a reliable estimate can be made.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Provisions are recognized and subsequently

    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The cost corresponding to the initial
    recognition of the provision and subsequent updates due to revisions in estimates is capitalized as part of property, plant, and equipment
    and depreciated over the useful life of the related mining assets. When future economic benefits are no longer expected from the operation,
    changes in estimates are recognized as "other operating revenues (expenses), net" in the income statement for the respective
    period. The effect related to the passage of time is presented in the income statement for the respective period as financial results.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

    definition of the main critical assumptions and estimates applied by the Company in the de-characterization provision is supported by
    internal and external engineering and geology advisors and considers, among others: (i) volume of the waste to be removed based on historical
    data available and interpretation of the enacted laws and regulations; (ii) location availability for the tailings disposal; (iii) engineering
    methods and solutions; (iv) security levels; (v) productivity of the equipment used; (vi) advances in geological studies and new hydrological
    information; and (vii) discount rate update.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: white"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: white"&gt;Therefore, future expenditures may differ from
    the amounts currently provided because the realized assumptions and various other factors are not always under the Company&#x2019;s control.
    These changes to key assumptions could result in a material impact to the amount of the provision in future reporting periods. At each
    reporting period, the Company will reassess the key assumptions used in the preparation of the projected cash flows and will adjust the
    provision, if required.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: white"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: white"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Asset retirement obligations - &lt;/b&gt;The definition
    of the main critical assumptions and estimates applied by the Company in the asset retirement obligations and environmental obligations
    is supported by internal and external engineering and geology advisors and considers, among others: interest rate, cost of closure, useful
    life of the mining asset considering the current conditions of closure and the projected date of depletion of each mine. Any changes in
    these assumptions may significantly impact the recorded provision. Therefore, the estimated costs for closure of the mining assets are
    deemed to be a critical accounting estimate and annually reviewed.&lt;/p&gt;

    definition of the main critical assumptions and estimates applied by the Company in the de-characterization provision is supported by
    internal and external engineering and geology advisors and considers, among others: (i) volume of the waste to be removed based on historical
    data available and interpretation of the enacted laws and regulations; (ii) location availability for the tailings disposal; (iii) engineering
    methods and solutions; (iv) security levels; (v) productivity of the equipment used; (vi) advances in geological studies and new hydrological
    information; and (vii) discount rate update.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: white"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: white"&gt;Therefore, future expenditures may differ from
    the amounts currently provided because the realized assumptions and various other factors are not always under the Company&#x2019;s control.
    These changes to key assumptions could result in a material impact to the amount of the provision in future reporting periods. At each
    reporting period, the Company will reassess the key assumptions used in the preparation of the projected cash flows and will adjust the
    provision, if required.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: white"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: white"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Asset retirement obligations - &lt;/b&gt;The definition
    of the main critical assumptions and estimates applied by the Company in the asset retirement obligations and environmental obligations
    is supported by internal and external engineering and geology advisors and considers, among others: interest rate, cost of closure, useful
    life of the mining asset considering the current conditions of closure and the projected date of depletion of each mine. Any changes in
    these assumptions may significantly impact the recorded provision. Therefore, the estimated costs for closure of the mining assets are
    deemed to be a critical accounting estimate and annually reviewed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 7pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424"&gt;(i) In October 2025, Vale changed the utilization
plan for the technology arising from projects acquired through the acquisition of New Steel Global N.V. and, as a result, the carrying
amount associated with these projects has been reclassified as "patent" and will be amortized over its legal protection period.&lt;/p&gt;

into Vale S.A. in 2017 which was recognized on the acquisition of Vale S.A. controlling interest by Valepar, based on the expected future
returns of the ferrous segment. The Company has not recognized the deferred taxes over the goodwill, since there are no differences between
the tax basis and accounting basis. Annually, the Company assesses the impairment of this asset, or more frequently when an indication
of impairment is identified (note 12).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

In December 2020, the Company entered
into an agreement with the Federal Government to continue operating its concessions of the Estrada de Ferro Caraj&#xe1;s (&#x201c;EFC&#x201d;)
and Estrada de Ferro Vit&#xf3;ria a Minas (&#x201c;EFVM&#x201d;) for thirty years more, extending the maturity date from 2027 to 2057.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Later, in January 2024, responding
to a request from the Ministry of Transportation, Vale, the National Land Transport Agency (&#x201c;ANTT&#x201d;), and the Brazilian Federal
Government, resumed discussions on the general conditions for concession contracts and on December 30, 2024, the general basis for the
renegotiation were agreed, aiming to promote the modernization and update of the existing contracts. This process was subject to evaluation
and approval by the competent authorities, and its conformation would occur through a consensual solution discussed with the bodies involved
at the Brazilian Federal Accounts Court.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;As part of these general bases, Vale
would agree to a maximum global contribution of approximately &lt;span style="background-color: white"&gt;US$&lt;/span&gt;1,809&lt;span style="background-color: white"&gt;,
&lt;/span&gt;for the EFC and EFVM&#x2019;s asset base review, the optimization of contractual obligations and investments replanning.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;As a consequence of the new conditions
of the general bases, the Company recognized, on December 31, 2024, an addition of US$&lt;span id="xdx_904_ecustom--RenegotiationOfConcessionContracts_pn6n6_uUSD_c20240101__20241231_zVXpmHloa7La" title="Renegotiation of concession contracts"&gt;256&lt;/span&gt; in provision, which reflected the revised estimates
regarding the amount of future disbursements required to fulfill the new contractual obligations of the railway concessions. Additionally,
the liability was reduced by US$&lt;span id="xdx_90B_ecustom--AdvancedPayment_pn6n6_uUSD_c20240101__20241231_z11IHW1dMb8c" title="Advanced payment"&gt;656&lt;/span&gt; due to the advanced payment made by Vale, ahead of the previously planned cash flow.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;However, on August 28, 2025, within
the context of the consensual solution conducted by the Brazilian Federal Accounts Court, the parties were unable to reach consensus within
the established deadline.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Despite ongoing discussions, the
concession contracts remain in effect, the Company continues to comply with the established obligations, and remains committed to the
general terms defined in the agreement signed on December 30, 2024. The Company believes its provisions remain sufficient to comply with
the obligations related to the concessions; therefore, no revision was made in its balances.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;(a.i) Payment obligation &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company will make payments for
the concession grants in quarterly installments through the concession period. This obligation is updated annually by the readjustment
index for monetary exchange (IRT), which was &lt;span id="xdx_906_ecustom--PercentageOfAnnuallyReadjustmentIndexExchange_pip0_dp_c20250101__20251231_zoK6zcKonjuj" title="Percentage of annually readjustment index exchange"&gt;4.68&lt;/span&gt;% for the year 2025 (2024: &lt;span id="xdx_903_ecustom--PercentageOfAnnuallyReadjustmentIndexExchange_pip0_dp_c20240101__20241231_zB3XF5ebs439" title="Percentage of annually readjustment index exchange"&gt;4.76&lt;/span&gt;%), resulting in an addition to the provision of US$&lt;span id="xdx_90C_ecustom--AdditionToProvision_pn6n6_c20250101__20251231_zs6wbwRL13yc" title="Addition to the provision"&gt;38&lt;/span&gt;
for the year ended December 31,2025 (2024: US$&lt;span id="xdx_908_ecustom--AdditionToProvision_pn6n6_c20240101__20241231_zHfwbFTj09W2" title="Addition to the provision"&gt;25&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The concession contract renewal requires
the evaluation for confirmation of the railway assets by the ANTT. In addition, the ANTT may require, at their discretion, further investments
on the concession network. Furthermore, there is a requirement for the Company to complete a minimum percentage of certain investments
by 2027. In these circumstances, discussions will be required regarding the economic and financial rebalancing of the contracts, and if
new investments are required or if there are delays in the delivery of investments with a fixed deadline, the carrying amount of grant
payable may have a material impact in the future.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;(a.ii) Infrastructure investment&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Rosa, in Goi&#xe1;s, and &#xc1;gua Boa, in Mato Grosso. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has a provision in the amount of US$435
(2024: US$656). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: white"&gt;The liabilities related to the concession grant
    may be affected by factors including, but not limited to: (i) amounts expected to be disbursed for constructing railways and infrastructure;
    (ii) costs associated with the acquisition of goods intended for the provision of public railway services; (iii) other miscellaneous obligations
    that complement the early extension of the railway concessions agreement; and (iv) updates in the discount rate.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: white"&gt;Thus, the amounts actually incurred by the Company
    may differ from the amounts currently provisioned, due to the confirmation of the assumptions used and which depend on several factors,
    some of which are not under the Company's control. These changes could result in a material impact on the amount of the provision in future
    periods. At each presentation date of its financial statements, the Company will reassess the main assumptions used in the preparation
    of projected cash flows and will adjust the provision, when applicable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

    and conditions equivalent to the obligations assumed.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: white"&gt;The liabilities related to the concession grant
    may be affected by factors including, but not limited to: (i) amounts expected to be disbursed for constructing railways and infrastructure;
    (ii) costs associated with the acquisition of goods intended for the provision of public railway services; (iii) other miscellaneous obligations
    that complement the early extension of the railway concessions agreement; and (iv) updates in the discount rate.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: white"&gt;Thus, the amounts actually incurred by the Company
    may differ from the amounts currently provisioned, due to the confirmation of the assumptions used and which depend on several factors,
    some of which are not under the Company's control. These changes could result in a material impact on the amount of the provision in future
    periods. At each presentation date of its financial statements, the Company will reassess the main assumptions used in the preparation
    of projected cash flows and will adjust the provision, when applicable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company integrates its climate
strategy into its business through a comprehensive approach, based on systematic planning and execution, prioritizing risk management
and the leveraging of opportunities, aligned with its purpose of leading value generation in mining in an ethical and sustainable manner.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The announced investments and the
Company&#x2019;s strategy regarding decarbonization initiatives have been assessed in the context of critical accounting estimates and
judgments. Future changes in this strategy or in the global scenario may affect the Company&#x2019;s key estimates and may result in material
impacts on the Company&#x2019;s income statement and balances of assets and liabilities in future periods.&lt;/p&gt;






&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company has voluntarily, in line
with global best practices for climate governance, established the following climate-related targets:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 12pt/120% Times New Roman,serif; width: 100%; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 10pt"&gt;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;
&lt;td style="width: 7.2pt"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="width: 17.05pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Vale Sans,sans-serif; color: #007E7A"&gt;&#x2022;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Vale Sans,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #555555; line-height: 120%"&gt;Reduce
absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 33% by 2030, compared to the 2017 baseline year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 12pt/120% Times New Roman,serif; width: 100%; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 10pt"&gt;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;
&lt;td style="width: 7.2pt"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="width: 17.05pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Vale Sans,sans-serif; color: #007E7A"&gt;&#x2022;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Vale Sans,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #555555; line-height: 120%"&gt;Reduce
net Scope 3 emissions by 15% by 2035, compared to the 2018 baseline year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 12pt/120% Times New Roman,serif; width: 100%; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 10pt"&gt;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;
&lt;td style="width: 7.2pt"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="width: 17.05pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Vale Sans,sans-serif; color: #007E7A"&gt;&#x2022;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Vale Sans,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #555555; line-height: 120%"&gt;Achieve
net-zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2050.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Vale assessed its decarbonization
targets by analyzing the criteria for provision recognition according to IAS 37 &#x2013; Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent
Assets. There is no provision as of December 31, 2025, as none of the targets represent a present obligation for the Company.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;To support its decarbonization targets
and foster economic development aligned with environmental preservation and business sustainability, the Company maintains an extensive
portfolio of projects in both research and development and operational phases. These include the restructuring of its production system
with a focus on direct reduction products and circular mining, the substitution of fossil energy raw materials with renewable or lower-emission
sources, among others.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;These decarbonization projects have
implementation timelines ranging from 1 to 30 years, consistent with the time horizons defined by Vale to support its strategic planning.
The Company monitors and evaluates relevant uncertainties regarding the recoverability of these investments, such as technological, regulatory,
and market risks, which may affect the expected economic performance of these assets. As of December 31, 2025, the Company did not identify
material deviations or changes between budgeted and actual amounts for such projects.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;a) Participation in the carbon
credit market&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;For emissions within the Company&#x2019;s
value chain (Scope 3), the Company may use, in a limited manner, high-integrity carbon credits for potential offsetting of greenhouse
gas emissions. Therefore, Vale operates as an end-user in the carbon credit market, aiming at the retirement of carbon credits to
achieve its decarbonization target. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had a balance of US$&lt;span id="xdx_90E_eifrs-full--PropertyPlantAndEquipment_iI_pn6n6_c20251231__custom--PropertyPlantAndEquipmentIncludingRightofuseAssetsAxis__custom--CarbonCreditMarketMember_zukBHczwb0Jc" title="Property, plant and equipment"&gt;9&lt;/span&gt; (2024: US$&lt;span id="xdx_900_eifrs-full--PropertyPlantAndEquipment_iI_pn6n6_c20241231__custom--PropertyPlantAndEquipmentIncludingRightofuseAssetsAxis__custom--CarbonCreditMarketMember_z03sjk4j8Mb7" title="Property, plant and equipment"&gt;7&lt;/span&gt;) in advance for the acquisition
of carbon credits, presented in the balance sheet as other assets.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Carbon credits, once effectively
received, will be recognized as intangible assets and measured at cost, in accordance with IAS 38 &#x2013; Intangible Assets.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;b) Potential effects of climate-related
risks and opportunities on the accounting estimates of assets&#x2019; recoverable amount&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The measurement of the recoverable
amount of assets is subject to uncertainties, including potential impacts arising from climate-related risks and opportunities. Vale carried
out a sensitivity analysis on the measurement of the recoverable amount of certain cash-generating units (&#x201c;CGUs&#x201d;), considering
certain climate-related risks and opportunities, as presented below.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In measuring the recoverable amount
of its assets, Vale bases its cash flow projections on reasonable and supportable assumptions that represent the best estimate of the
range of economic conditions underpinning the models used to determine the recoverable amount of the CGUs, as described in note 12. Therefore,
the scenarios used in this sensitivity analysis are not considered by the Company to be its best estimates for determining the expected
impacts of impairment losses.&lt;/p&gt;






&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 8pt"&gt;
  &lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;

    Potential impacts of the opportunity associated with growing demand for nickel on the recoverable amount of the CGUs&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In 2025, Vale recognized impairment
losses totaling US$&lt;span id="xdx_90E_ecustom--ImpairmentOnAssets_pn6n6_c20250101__20251231__ifrs-full--BusinessCombinationsAxis__custom--NickelCGUsMember_ziaiRLH0Yzfb" title="Impairment on assets"&gt;3,578&lt;/span&gt; million related to its nickel CGUs, including the allocated goodwill (note 12). Based on the models used to
measure the recoverable amount of these CGUs, the Company sensitized the nickel price curve by considering an average increase of &lt;span id="xdx_90D_ecustom--AcquisitionCostsRatio_iI_pip0_dp_c20251231__ifrs-full--BusinessCombinationsAxis__custom--NickelCGUsMember_zhCSYrjj2qad" title="Acquisition interest rate"&gt;11&lt;/span&gt;%,
substantially in long-term prices, compared to the price curve used in the base models, reflecting the potential materialization of a
scenario in which the pace and intensity of the energy transition are more favorable to nickel. As a result, the impairment losses recognized
in 2025 would have been reduced by US$&lt;span id="xdx_90F_ecustom--ImpairmentLosses_pn6n6_c20250101__20251231__ifrs-full--BusinessCombinationsAxis__custom--NickelCGUsMember_zlcu6XLY54il" title="Impairment losses"&gt;1,426&lt;/span&gt; million.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
  &lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; color: #555555"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; color: #555555"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 8pt"&gt;
  &lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;
    &lt;td style="border: #3CB5E4 2.25pt solid; width: 100%; padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt"&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0 10pt 27pt; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="valedfifrs4q256k_014.jpg"/&gt;
    Potential impacts of the risk associated with regulations related to GHG emissions (RT1) on the recoverable amount of the Iron Ore
    Solutions operating segment&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The implementation of climate
policies, including carbon pricing mechanisms, may affect the competitiveness of Vale&#x2019;s products. Therefore, the speed and intensity
of implementation of such regulations impact the prices and costs of products in the Iron Ore Solutions operating segment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Vale tested the recoverability of
the goodwill allocated to the Iron Ore Solutions operating segment in 2025 and did not identify any impairment loss (note 12). Based
on the models used to measure the recoverable amount of this operating segment, the Company included assumptions to sensitize a potential
reduction in EBITDA due to the materialization of a climate-policy scenario that is less favorable to Vale&#x2019;s product portfolio.
As a result, the headroom of the recoverability test for the Iron Ore Solutions operating segment would be reduced. However, the recoverable
amount of the operating segment would still exceed its carrying amount, including goodwill, and thus, no impairment would be recognized.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
  &lt;/table&gt;

notes are measured at amortized cost. To determine the fair value of these financial instruments traded in secondary markets, the closing
market quotations on the balance sheet dates were used. The carrying amount of the other financial liabilities measured at amortized cost
represents a reasonable approximation of their respective fair value.&lt;/p&gt;

    instruments traded in active markets (e.g. derivatives and publicly traded shares) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the
    financial statements period.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Level 2: The fair value of financial
    instruments that are not traded in an active market (e.g. over the counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques that
    maximize the use of observable market data. If all significant data required for the fair value of an instrument are observable, the instrument
    is included in level 2.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Level 3: If one or more of the
    significant data are not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. The fair value of derivatives classified
    as level 3 is estimated using discounted cash flows and option valuation models with unobservable inputs of discount rates, stock prices
    and commodity prices.&lt;/p&gt;

    and measurement&lt;/span&gt; -&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;The Company classifies financial instruments based on its business model for
    managing the assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of those assets. The business model test determines the classification
    based on the business purpose for holding the asset and whether the contractual cash flows represent only payments of principal and interest.
    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    at fair value through profit or loss (&#x201c;FVTPL&#x201d;) unless certain conditions are met that permit measurement at fair value through
    other comprehensive income (&#x201c;FVOCI&#x201d;) or amortized cost. Gains and losses recorded in other comprehensive income for debt instruments
    are recognized in profit or loss only on disposal.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Investments in equity instruments
    are measured at FVTPL unless they are eligible to be measured at FVOCI, whose gains and losses are never recycled to profit or loss.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;All financial liabilities are initially
    measured at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred and are subsequently carried at amortized cost and updated using the effective
    interest rate method. Excepts for Participative shareholders&#x2019; debentures and Derivative financial instruments that are measured
    at FVTPL.&lt;/p&gt;

    -&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;The Company classifies financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy as: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Level 1: The fair value of financial
    instruments traded in active markets (e.g. derivatives and publicly traded shares) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the
    financial statements period.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Level 2: The fair value of financial
    instruments that are not traded in an active market (e.g. over the counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques that
    maximize the use of observable market data. If all significant data required for the fair value of an instrument are observable, the instrument
    is included in level 2.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Level 3: If one or more of the
    significant data are not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. The fair value of derivatives classified
    as level 3 is estimated using discounted cash flows and option valuation models with unobservable inputs of discount rates, stock prices
    and commodity prices.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company is exposed to several
financial and capital risk factors that may impact its performance and equity position. The evaluation of the exposure to financial and
capital risks is performed periodically to support decision making process regarding the risk management strategy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company's policy aims at establishing
a capital structure that will ensure the continuity of our business in the long term. Within this perspective, the Company has been able
to maintain regular dividends payments and interest on capital (&#x201c;JCP&#x201d;), to maintain a debt profile suitable for its activities,
with an amortization well distributed over the years, thus avoiding a concentration in one specific period.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Board of Directors establishes
and supervises the management of financial risks with the support of the Capital Allocation and Project Advisory Committee that ensures
that Company's financial activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured
and managed in accordance with the Company's policies and objectives.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company has developed its strategy
through an integrated view of the risks to which it is exposed, considering not only the risk, generated by variables traded in the financial
market (market risk) and the liquidity risk, but also the risk arising from obligations assumed by third parties to the Company (credit
risk), among others.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company uses derivative financial
instruments to protect its exposure to these market risks arising from operating, financing, and investment activities, so that Vale does
not engage in derivative operations that result in nominal amount exceeding its total exposure. The financial instruments portfolio is
reassessed periodically, allowing the monitoring of financial results and their impact on cash flow. The Company applies hedge accounting
to its net investment in foreign operation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Method and techniques for valuation of derivatives&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The derivative financial instruments
were evaluated using the curves and market prices that impact each instrument on the valuation dates applying pricing techniques widely
used by the market.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Swaps are priced by discounting their
cash flows by the corresponding rates and currencies, while forward and futures contracts use the forward curves of their respective underlying
assets. For options, the Company uses the Black &amp;amp; Scholes model and in the case of Asian options the Turnbull &amp;amp; Wakeman model.
In all cases, we consider the credit risk of both the Company and the counterparty for the final calculation of fair value. When pricing
information is not available from a listed market source, alternative market mechanisms or comparable recent transactions, fair value
is estimated based on the Company's outlook.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company&#x2019;s cash flow is
exposed to the volatility of several currencies against the U.S. dollar. While most of our product prices are indexed to U.S. dollars,
most of our costs, expenses and investments are indexed to currencies other than the U.S. dollar, principally the Brazilian real and the
Canadian dollar.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company can enter into derivative
transactions to protect its cash flow against the market risks that arises from its debt obligations and other commitments &#x2013; mainly
currency volatility.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;To reduce cash flow volatility, swap
and forward operations were implemented to convert the cash flow of commitments, debts and financial obligations in Reais into US$ with
exchange rate locks and fixed and floating rate swaps indexed mainly to the interbank deposit certificate ("CDI"), the TJLP
and the national consumer price index ("IPCA"). In these swap operations, the Company pays fixed rates in US$ and receives remuneration
in R$ fixed or linked to the interest rates of the hedged liabilities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company is also exposed to floating
interest rate risks on certain loans and financing. U.S. dollar floating-rate debt consists primarily of loans, including export prepayments,
loans with commercial banks, and multilateral organizations. To reduce cash flow volatility, swaps transactions were implemented to convert
SOFR-indexed interest rates into fixed-rate loan and financing contracts. In these operations, the Company receives floating rates indexed
to SOFR and pays remuneration linked to fixed rates in US$.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;To reduce the impact of fluctuations in fuel oil prices on the hiring and availability of maritime freight
and, consequently, to reduce the Company&#x2019;s cash flow volatility, hedging operations were implemented through acquiring call and
put options on Brent Crude Oil for different portions of the exposure. The derivative transactions were traded over-the-counter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Freight derivative
- &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;To reduce the impact of maritime freight price volatility on the Company&#x2019;s cash flow,
freight hedging transactions were implemented, through Forward Freight Agreements (FFAs). The FFAs are contracts traded over the counter
and can be cleared through a Clearing House, in this case subject to margin requirements.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fixed price sales
protection -&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;The Company started an operational program to protect nickel and cobalt sales, converting
fixed price commercial contracts with customers to floating price, therefore maintaining the Company&#x2019;s exposure to price fluctuations.
The transactions usually carried out in this program are nickel purchases for future settlement. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hedge program for
products acquisition for resale - &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;The Company started a hedge program with nickel forward
transactions with the objective of reducing the risk of price mismatch between the period of purchase and sale of products to third parties.
The transactions entered into in 2023 were fully settled within the fiscal year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

- &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;To reduce the cash flow volatility due to nickel price fluctuations, the Company implemented
the Nickel Revenue Hedge Program. In this program, hedging operations were executed, through option contracts, to protect a portion of
the projected volume of sales at floating, highly probable realization prices, guaranteeing prices above the average unit cost of nickel
production for the protected volumes. In 2023, the program was settled, and no new operations were carried out in 2024 and 2025. The contracts
were traded on the London Metal Exchange or over-the-counter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;b) Credit risk management&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company is exposed to credit
risk that arises from trade receivables, derivative transactions, guarantees, down payment for suppliers and cash investments. The credit
risk management process provides a framework for assessing and managing counterparties&#x2019; credit risk and for maintaining our portfolio
risk at an acceptable level.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;For the commercial credit exposure,
which arises from sales to final customers, the risk management area, in accordance with the current delegation level, approves or requests
the approval of credit risk limits for each counterparty.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Vale attributes an internal credit
risk rating for each counterparty using its own quantitative methodology for credit risk analysis, which is based on market prices, external
credit ratings and financial information of the counterparty, as well as qualitative information regarding the counterparty&#x2019;s strategic
position and history of commercial relations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Based on the counterparty&#x2019;s
credit risk, risk mitigation strategies may be used to manage the Company&#x2019;s credit risk. The main credit risk mitigation strategies
include non-recourse sale of receivables, insurance instruments, letters of credit, corporate and bank guarantees, mortgages, among others.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;b.i) Accounts receivable portfolio &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Vale has a diversified accounts receivable
portfolio from a geographical standpoint, with Asia, Middle East, North Africa, Europe and Brazil as the regions with more significant
exposures. According to each region, different guarantees can be used to enhance the credit quality of the receivables. Historically,
the expected credit loss on the Company&#x2019;s accounts receivable portfolio is immaterial (note 7).&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p style="font: 11pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;b.ii) Financial instruments, except for accounts
receivable &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;To manage the credit exposure arising
from cash investments and derivative instruments, credit limits are approved to each counterparty with whom the Company has credit exposure.
Furthermore, the Company controls the portfolio diversification and monitors different indicators of solvency and liquidity of the different
counterparties that were approved for trading. The carrying amount of the financial assets that represent the exposure to credit risk
is presented below:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The liquidity risk arises from the
possibility that Vale might not perform its obligations on due dates, as well as face difficulties to meet its cash requirements due to
market liquidity constraints.&lt;/p&gt;

are intended to assist short term liquidity management and to enable more efficiency in cash management and were provided by a syndicate
of several global commercial banks. The Company has two revolving credit facilities, in the amount of US$5,000, for which US$3,000 have
maturity date in 2029 and US$2,000 in 2026. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, these lines were not drawn.&lt;/p&gt;

    to hedge its exposure to certain market risks arising from operational, financing and investing activities. Derivatives are included within
    financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments (&lt;span id="xdx_86B_zIhPNJdYLvw8"&gt;hedge
    accounting&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;At the beginning of the hedge operations,
    the Company documents the type of hedge, the relation between the hedging instrument and hedged items, its risk management objective and
    strategy for undertaking hedge operations. The Company also documents, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis that the hedge
    is expected to continue to be highly effective. The Company has elected to adopt the new general hedge accounting model in IFRS 9 and
    designates certain derivatives as either:&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p id="xdx_84A_ecustom--DescriptionCashFlowHedge_zHDQnr8zfBIb" style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span id="xdx_865_zpOY9bIyzf1f"&gt;Cash flow hedge&lt;/span&gt; -&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash
    flow hedges is recognized in equity within "Unrealized fair value gain (losses)". The gain or loss relating to the ineffective
    portion is recognized immediately in the income statement. When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets
    the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognized in
    profit or loss when the transaction is recognized in the income statement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    -&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges.
    Any gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge is recognized in equity within "Cumulative
    translation adjustments". The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the income statement.
    Gains and losses accumulated in equity are included in the statement of income when the foreign operation is partially or fully disposed
    of or sold.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred and are subsequently carried at amortized cost and updated using the effective interest
    rate method. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the Income statement
    over the period of the loan, using the effective interest rate method. The fees paid in obtaining the loan are recognized as transaction
    costs. The Company contracts derivatives to protect its exposure to changes in debt cash flows, changing the average cost of debts that
    have hedge derivatives contracted.&lt;/p&gt;

    qualified asset is ready for its intended use. Interest on loans and borrowing not capitalized is recognized in profit or loss for the
    year when incurred.&lt;/p&gt;

    at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred and are subsequently carried at amortized cost and updated using the effective interest
    rate method. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the Income statement
    over the period of the loan, using the effective interest rate method. The fees paid in obtaining the loan are recognized as transaction
    costs. The Company contracts derivatives to protect its exposure to changes in debt cash flows, changing the average cost of debts that
    have hedge derivatives contracted.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Loans and borrowing costs are capitalized
    as part of property, plants and equipment if those costs are directly related to a qualified asset. The capitalization occurs until the
    qualified asset is ready for its intended use. Interest on loans and borrowing not capitalized is recognized in profit or loss for the
    year when incurred.&lt;/p&gt;

    asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the
    initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date. The right-of-use asset
    is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the lease term or the
    end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 12pt/120% Times New Roman,serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company does not recognize right-of-use
    assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term and/or leases of low-value assets. The payments associated to
    these leases are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 12pt/120% Times New Roman,serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The lease liability is initially measured
    at the present value of the lease payments, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily
    determined, the Company&#x2019;s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise:
    (i) fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments; (ii) variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate; and (iii) the
    exercise price under a purchase option or renewal option that are under the Company&#x2019;s control and is reasonably certain to be exercised.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 12pt/120% Times New Roman,serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The lease liability is measured at amortized
    cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an
    index or rate. When the lease liability is remeasured, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset
    or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.&lt;/p&gt;

    asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the
    initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date. The right-of-use asset
    is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the lease term or the
    end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 12pt/120% Times New Roman,serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company does not recognize right-of-use
    assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term and/or leases of low-value assets. The payments associated to
    these leases are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 12pt/120% Times New Roman,serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The lease liability is initially measured
    at the present value of the lease payments, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily
    determined, the Company&#x2019;s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise:
    (i) fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments; (ii) variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate; and (iii) the
    exercise price under a purchase option or renewal option that are under the Company&#x2019;s control and is reasonably certain to be exercised.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 12pt/120% Times New Roman,serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The lease liability is measured at amortized
    cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an
    index or rate. When the lease liability is remeasured, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset
    or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;a) Subordinated notes&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In November 2025, the Company concluded
the issuance of subordinated notes in the amount of US$&lt;span id="xdx_900_ecustom--IssuanceOfSubordinatedNotes_pn6n6_c20251101__20251130_zUqFejQqXYP" title="Issuance of subordinated notes"&gt;750&lt;/span&gt;, maturing in 2056 and bearing interest payable semiannually at an initial rate
of &lt;span id="xdx_90C_ecustom--InitialInterestRate_dp_c20251101__20251130_zM8CTPRHJxhi" title="Initial interest rate"&gt;6&lt;/span&gt;% per year. The interest rate will be reset every five years starting in February 2031.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;These notes rank in priority of payment
only ahead of the Company's shareholders' equity and are subordinated to all of Vale&#x2019;s financial and non-financial obligations.
In addition, the Company has the right to defer interest payments until the maturity of the principal, subject to events that are within
Vale&#x2019;s control.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The net proceeds from the issuance
were used for general corporate purposes, including but not limited to replenishing cash following the payment of the partial repurchase
of participative shareholders' debentures in November 2025 (note 23b).&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p style="font: 11pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;b) Participative shareholders' debentures&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;At the time of its privatization
in 1997, the Company issued &lt;span id="xdx_90F_ecustom--DebenturesIssued_iI_pip0_c20251231_z1aDwgShWUH8" title="Number of debentures issued"&gt;388,559,056&lt;/span&gt; participatory debentures to existing shareholders, including the Brazilian Government. These debentures
were structured to ensure that pre-privatization shareholders would participate in any future benefits derived from the exploitation
of certain mineral resources. Holders are entitled to semiannual payments calculated as a percentage of the revenue related to these resources,
net of taxes, transportation fees, and insurance expenses. This obligation remains in effect until all related mineral resources have
been exhausted, sold, or otherwise disposed of.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In November 2025, Vale completed
the repurchase of &lt;span id="xdx_90C_ecustom--DebenturesIssued_iI_pip0_c20251130_zBBqreT9g7jl" title="Number of debentures issued"&gt;89,410,390&lt;/span&gt; participative debentures for a total amount of &lt;span style="background-color: white"&gt;US$&lt;span id="xdx_906_ecustom--DebenturesIssuedAmount_iI_pn6n6_c20251130_z9xqBIMmfq1c" title="Debentures issued amount"&gt;703&lt;/span&gt;, including the
payment of a premium of US$&lt;span id="xdx_90F_ecustom--DebenturePremiumPaid_iI_pn6n6_c20251130_z2xnasOmvPfh" title="Debenture premium paid"&gt;15&lt;/span&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; which is presented in the income statement as "financial expenses". This initiative resulted
in a &lt;span id="xdx_900_ecustom--DebenturesInterestRate_dp_c20251101__20251130_zvFuAMZgiRDa" title="Debentures interest rate"&gt;23.01&lt;/span&gt;% reduction in the total outstanding debentures, optimizing the Company&#x2019;s capital structure through financial liability
management and reinforcing its capital allocation strategy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The impact of the participative shareholders'
debentures on the financial results is presented in note 18, and the weighted-average price of secondary-market trades in the
last month of each fiscal year is presented below:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/12pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In January 2019, a tailings dam (&#x201c;Dam
I&#x201d;) experienced a failure at the C&#xf3;rrego do Feij&#xe3;o mine, in the city of Brumadinho, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil.
The failure released a flow of tailings debris, destroying some of Vale&#x2019;s facilities, affecting local communities and disturbing
the environment. The tailings released have caused an impact of around 315 km in extension, reaching the nearby Paraopeba River. The dam
failure in Brumadinho (&#x201c;event&#x201d;) resulted in 270 fatalities or presumed fatalities, including two pregnant women, and caused
extensive property and environmental damage in the region.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;As a result of the dam failure, the
Company recognized provisions to meet its assumed obligations, including indemnification to those affected by the event, remediation of
the impacted areas and compensation to the society. In addition, the Company has incurred expenses, which have been recognized straight
to the income statement, in relation to tailings management, communication services, humanitarian assistance, payroll, legal services,
water supply, among others.&lt;/p&gt;

entered into a Judicial Settlement for Integral Reparation (&#x201c;Global Settlement&#x201d;), which was under negotiations since 2019,
with the State of Minas Gerais, the Public Defender of the State of Minas Gerais and the Federal and the State of Minas Gerais Public
Prosecutors Offices, to repair the environmental and social damage resulting from the Dam I rupture. As a result of the Global Settlement,
the requests for the reparation of socioenvironmental and socioeconomic damages caused by the dam failure were substantially resolved.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Global Settlement includes: (i)
payment obligations, of which the funds will be used directly by the State of Minas Gerais and Institutions of Justice for socioeconomic
and socioenvironmental compensation projects; (ii) socioeconomic projects in Brumadinho and other 25 municipalities from the Paraopeba
River Basin; and (iii) compensation of the environmental damage caused by the dam failure. These obligations are projected for &lt;span style="background-color: white"&gt;an
average p&lt;/span&gt;eriod of 5 years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In addition, the Global Settlement
addresses the diffuse and collective socioeconomic damages resulting from the disaster, with the exception of supervening damages, individual
damages and homogeneous individual damages of a divisible nature, in accordance with the claims of the lawsuits not extinguished by the
Global Settlement.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;For the measures described in items
(i) and (ii), the amounts are specified in the Global Settlement. For the execution of the environmental recovery, actions have no cap
limit, despite having been estimated in the Global Settlement due to the Company's legal obligation to fully repair the environmental
damage caused by the dam failure. Therefore, although Vale is monitoring this provision, the amount recorded could materially change depending
on several factors that are not under the Company&#x2019;s control.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11.5pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company is also working to
ensure geotechnical safety of the remaining structures at the C&#xf3;rrego do Feij&#xe3;o mine, in Brumadinho, and the removal and
proper disposal of the tailings of Dam I, including dredging part of the released material and de-sanding from the channel of the river
Paraopeba.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;For the individual indemnification,
Vale and the Public Defendants of the State of Minas Gerais formalized an agreement on April 5, 2019, under which those affected by the
Brumadinho&#x2019;s dam failure may join an individual or family group out-of-court settlement agreements for the indemnification of material,
economic and moral damages. This agreement establishes the basis for a wide range of indemnification payments, which were defined according
to the best practices and case law of Brazilian Courts, following rules and principles of the United Nations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;a) Legal Proceedings&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 8pt"&gt;
  &lt;tr style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: #F3F3F3"&gt;

  &lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Vale is defending itself against
a class action brought before a Federal Court in New York and filed by holders of securities - American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs")
- issued by Vale.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/115% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In August 2024, the Court held a hearing
to consider Vale's Motion for Class Decertification, as well as the parties' Cross Motions to Exclude Expert. A decision from the Court
is currently pending.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In November 2021, a new complaint
was filed by eight investment funds that chose to seek redress for alleged damages independently and separately from the class members
of the main action, with the same allegations presented in the main class action. A decision from the Court on Vale's preliminary defense
("motion to dismiss") has been pending since December 2023.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The likelihood of loss of these proceedings
is considered possible. However, considering the current phase of these lawsuits, it is not yet possible to reliably estimate the amount
of a potential loss. The amount of damages sought in these claims is unspecified.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 8pt"&gt;
  &lt;tr style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: #F3F3F3"&gt;
    &lt;td style="border-bottom: #D9D9D9 1pt solid; width: 100%; font-family: Times New Roman,serif; text-align: justify; line-height: 120%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Vale Sans,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #007E7A; line-height: 120%"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Arbitration proceedings in Brazil filed by shareholders, a class association and foreign investment funds&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
  &lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In Brazil, Vale is a defendant in
one arbitration filed by 385 minority shareholders and three arbitrations filed by foreign investment funds. Vale was also a defendant
in two arbitrations filed by a class association allegedly representing all Vale&#x2019;s noncontrolling shareholders, which were dismissed
in August 2024, given the acceptance of the Company&#x2019;s repeated requests, due to the claimant association&#x2019;s failure to pay
court fees.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/12pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In the four ongoing proceedings,
the claimants argue that Vale was aware of the risks associated with the B-I dam, located at the C&#xf3;rrego do Feij&#xe3;o Mine
in Brumadinho, and other tailings dams, and failed to disclose it to its shareholders. Based on such argument, they claim compensation
for losses caused by the decrease in share price.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The expectation of loss is classified
as possible for the four procedures and, considering the initial phase, and the fact that the claims and causes of action have not been
detailed, it is not possible at this time to reliably estimate the amount of possible loss.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In one of the proceedings filed by
foreign legal entities, in which the terms of reference for the arbitration have not yet been signed, &lt;span id="xdx_90C_eifrs-full--DescriptionOfNatureOfInterestInFunds_c20250101__20251231_zjxeVgprp4U4" title="Description of alleged losses"&gt;the Claimants initially estimated
the amount of the alleged losses would be approximately US$330 (R$1,800 million), subject to interest and monetary adjustments. In another
proceeding filed by foreign legal entities, in which the terms of reference for the arbitration are also pending signature, the Claimants
initially estimated the amount of the alleged losses would be approximately US$715 (R$3,900 million), subject to interest and monetary
adjustments. In the proceeding presented by minority shareholders, upon the signing of the Terms of Reference in May 2024, the Claimants
attributed a value of US$550 (R$3,000 million) to the claim (which referred to a single event), subject to interest and inflation indexation,
and which may be increased later, as alleged by the claimants.&lt;/span&gt; There is only one arbitration in which the Claimants have not estimated
the amount of the claim; this proceeding is still ongoing and its terms of reference have already been signed.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company disagrees with the ongoing
proceedings. Given the lack of visibility regarding all the claims that will be submitted and the criteria used to estimate their amounts,
Vale, together with its external advisors, has at this time classified the likelihood of loss of the estimated amount as remote.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: white"&gt;The provision for social, economic and environmental
    reparation may be affected by factors including, but not limited to: (i) changes in the current estimated market price of the direct and
    indirect cost related to products and services, (ii) changes in timing for cash outflows, (iii) changes in the technology considered in
    measuring the provision, (iv) number of individuals entitled to the indemnification payments, (v) resolution of existing and potential
    legal claims, (vi) demographic assumptions, (vii) actuarial assumptions, and (viii) updates in the discount rate.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: white"&gt;Thus, the amounts actually incurred by the Company
    may differ from the amounts currently provisioned, due to the confirmation of the assumptions used and which depend on several factors,
    some of which are not under the Company's control. These changes could result in a material impact on the amount of the provision in future
    periods. At each presentation date of its financial statements, the Company will reassess the main assumptions used in the preparation
    of projected cash flows and will adjust the provision, when applicable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/12pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In November 2015, the Fund&#xe3;o

experienced a failure, flooding certain communities and impacting communities and the environment along the Doce River. The dam failure
resulted in 19 fatalities and caused property and environmental damage to the affected areas. Samarco is a joint venture equally owned
by Vale S.A. and BHP Billiton Brasil Ltda. (&#x2018;&#x2018;BHPB&#x2019;&#x2019;).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/12pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Thus, Vale, Samarco, and BHPB entered
into agreements with the Federal Union, the States of Minas Gerais and Esp&#xed;rito Santo, and some other federal and state agencies,
establishing the creation of socioenvironmental and socioeconomic programs aimed at adopting measures for mitigation, remediation, and
compensation of damages. However, the requirements established reparation measures in the agreements could not be fully implemented within
the established period, and the involved parties began initiated further negotiations to seek a definitive agreement for the resolution
of all obligations related to the dam collapse.&lt;/p&gt;

to be implemented by Samarco, with disbursements estimated to occur within the three years following ratification.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;Samarco has primary
responsibility for the obligations, while Vale and BHPB hold subsidiary responsibility in proportion to their 50% ownership interests&lt;/span&gt;,
&lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;in case Samarco fails to comply such obligations. The judicial ratification of the agreement extinguished
several significant lawsuits filed in Brazil, for which the requests for dismissal were jointly submitted by Vale, BHPB, and Samarco.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;As a result of the Definitive Settlement,
the Company recognized an additional provision in the amount of US$&lt;span id="xdx_90F_ecustom--AdditionalProvisionsRelatedToEnvironment_pn6n6_c20240101__20241231_z5eDUkZyLAdg" title="Additional provisions related to environment"&gt;956&lt;/span&gt; as of December 31, 2024, which reflects the estimated amount of
future disbursements required to address all aspects related to the Definitive Agreement and Samarco&#x2019;s financial capacity to make
future payments (see item &#x201c;d&#x201d; below).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In 2025, the Company recognized an
additional provision of US$&lt;span id="xdx_90C_eifrs-full--Provisions_iI_pn6n6_c20251231__ifrs-full--BusinessCombinationsAxis__custom--SamarcoMember_zQH3xT7elcia" title="Provisions"&gt;167&lt;/span&gt;, substantially related to a revision of the estimated costs to complete the individual compensation programs.&lt;/p&gt;





&lt;p style="font: 11pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;c) Remaining legal proceedings&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;With the Definitive Agreement, the
public civil actions brought by the Brazilian Justice Institutions and Brazilian public authorities were substantially resolved and the
parameters for compliance with the reparation and compensation for damages were defined. Thus, the remaining most relevant legal proceedings
are shown below:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 8pt"&gt;
  &lt;tr style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: #F3F3F3"&gt;
    &lt;td style="border-bottom: #D9D9D9 1pt solid; width: 100%; font-family: Times New Roman,serif; text-align: justify; line-height: 120%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Vale Sans,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #007E7A; line-height: 120%"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Claims in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
  &lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In July 2024, Vale and BHP have entered
into a confidential agreement without any admission of liability pursuant to Vale and BHP will share equally any potential payment obligations
arising from the UK and Dutch Claims, described below.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/12pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;London claim -&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;As a result of the rupture of Samarco&#x2019;s Fund&#xe3;o dam failure, BHP Group Ltd (&#x201c;BHP&#x201d;)
was named as defendant in group action claims for damages filed in the courts of England and Wales for approximately 610,000 claimants,
between individuals, companies and municipalities from Brazil that were supposedly affected by the Samarco dam failure (the &#x201c;UK
Claim&#x201d;). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11.2pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The proceeding was structured in phases,
with the first phase devoted to assessing BHP&#x2019;s liability for the Fund&#xe3;o dam failure. Following the trial of the first phase,
held between October 2024 and March 2025, the English court issued a decision in November 2025 recognizing BHP&#x2019;s liability under
Brazilian law. The decision also confirmed the validity of the waivers and release agreements executed by claimants who had already been
compensated in Brazil, which will reduce the number of claimants and the amount of the claims.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/12pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;As a result of this decision, the
likelihood of loss in relation to this proceeding was reclassified as probable, and the Company recognized an additional provision of
US$&lt;span id="xdx_90F_eifrs-full--Provisions_iI_pn6n6_c20240731__ifrs-full--BusinessCombinationsAxis__custom--SamarcoMember_zMTWrLECDigh" title="Provisions"&gt;449&lt;/span&gt; in the income statement as "Equity results and other results in associates and joint ventures", which is presented in
the statement of financial position as "Liabilities related to associates and joint ventures", as it is associated with the
failure of the Fund&#xe3;o tailings dam, owned by Samarco.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;BHP submitted a request for permission
to appeal the first-phase decision, which is currently pending review. Any potential appeal does not suspend the progress of the proceedings,
which will move forward to the second phase of trial, aimed at the discussion and determination of matters relating to the admissibility
and extent of damages. The commencement of which is expected to take place in 2027. Subsequently, it is also likely that the English court
will establish a third phase to determine the amounts of any potential compensation awards.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11.2pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Netherlands proceeding
-&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;A proceeding was filed against the Company by certain Brazilian municipalities, a company, and
a foundation that represents thousands of individuals and some entities, alleging that they were affected by the failure of Samarco&#x2019;s
Fund&#xe3;o dam in 2015.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In March 2024, a court in Amsterdam
granted a preliminary injunction freezing the shares in Vale Holdings B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated in the Netherlands,
and the economic rights attached to those shares, for securing the approximate amount of US$1,082 (EUR920 million). In 2025, with the
adherence of three municipalities (Iapu, Ponte Nova and Rio Casca) to the Definitive Agreement, they ceased to be part of the litigation
and the securing amount was reduced to approximately US$&lt;span id="xdx_903_ecustom--LitigationOfSecuringAmount_iI_pn6n6_c20251231__ifrs-full--CurrencyInWhichInformationIsDisplayedAxis__custom--USDMember_zc87ZMAjsWwc" title="Litigation of securing amount"&gt;876&lt;/span&gt; (EUR&lt;span id="xdx_903_ecustom--LitigationOfSecuringAmount_iI_pn5n6_c20251231__ifrs-full--CurrencyInWhichInformationIsDisplayedAxis__custom--EURMember_ztBJfQ7qVovj" title="Litigation of securing amount"&gt;745.4&lt;/span&gt; million).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In October 2025, Vale submitted its
defense regarding jurisdiction in the lawsuit filed against the Company, and the first hearing of the first stage of the proceedings is
expected to take place in the second half of 2026.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The likelihood of loss of this proceeding
is considered possible. However, considering the initial phase, it is not yet possible to reliably estimate the amount of a potential
loss, and an estimate may become quantifiable as the case progresses.&lt;/p&gt;





&lt;p style="font: 11pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;d) Judicial reorganization of Samarco&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In April 2021, Samarco filed for
Judicial Reorganization (&#x201c;JR&#x201d;) with the Courts of Minas Gerais to renegotiate its debt, which was held by bondholders abroad.
The purpose of JR was to restructure Samarco&#x2019;s debts and establish an independent and sustainable financial position, allowing Samarco
to keep working to resume its operations safely and to fulfill its obligations for mitigation, remediation, and compensation of damages.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In May 2023, Vale S.A. entered into
a binding agreement jointly with BHPB, Samarco and certain creditors which hold together more than 50% of Samarco's debt, setting the
parameters of Samarco&#x2019;s debt restructuring to be implemented through a consensual restructuring plan, which was approved by the
creditors, submitted to the JR Court in July 2023, and confirmed by the judge in September 2023.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In December 2023, Samarco&#x2019;s
existing US$&lt;span id="xdx_909_eifrs-full--DebtInstrumentsHeld_iI_pn8n9_c20231231_zvHXzBiHve8e" title="Financial debt held by creditors"&gt;4.8&lt;/span&gt; billion financial debt held by creditors was exchanged for approximately US$&lt;span id="xdx_906_ecustom--LongtermUnsecuredDebt_iI_pn8n9_c20231231_zXhuU50uRxWk" title="Long-term unsecured debt"&gt;3.9&lt;/span&gt; billion of long-term unsecured debt, bearing
interest from 2023 to 2031.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;After the execution of the plan, Samarco
has a lean capital structure, in line with its operational ramp-up and cash flow generation. The plan considers the fund for the reparation
and compensation programs capped at US$&lt;span id="xdx_90C_ecustom--FundOfReparationAndCompensationPrograms_iI_pn9n9_c20251231_zj9KRiJ0EhVl" title="Fund of reparation and compensation programs"&gt;1&lt;/span&gt; billion from 2024 to 2030, of which US$&lt;span id="xdx_909_ecustom--FundOfReparationAndCompensationPrograms_iI_pn9n9_c20241231_zxlXal9pFnwe" title="Fund of reparation and compensation programs"&gt;434&lt;/span&gt; has already been incurred, and additional contributions
after that period due to its projected cash flows generation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In August 2025, Samarco's judicial
reorganization process was concluded by decision of the 2nd Business Court of the District of Belo Horizonte, with a favorable opinion
from the Public Prosecutor's Office of the State of Minas Gerais, which concluded that the judicial reorganization had fulfilled its purpose.
Samarco will continue to comply with the remaining obligations, in accordance with the terms and deadlines established.&lt;/p&gt;

    the joint venture agreement, the Company does not have an obligation to provide funding to Samarco. Accordingly, the Company&#x2019;s investment
    in Samarco was fully impaired and no provision was recognized in relation to the Samarco&#x2019;s negative equity.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: white"&gt;The provision related to the Samarco dam failure
    requires the use of assumptions and estimates, which may significantly change due to: (i) the cost to complete the programs under the
    Definitive Agreement, (ii) the extent to which Samarco will be able to directly pay its future obligations related to remediation and
    compensation, considering that its cash flow projections mainly depend on Samarco's ability to resume maximum production levels and commodity
    prices, (iii) resolution of potential and existing legal claims, and (iv) updates to the discount rate.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: white"&gt;As a result, future expenditures may differ from
    the amounts currently provided and changes to key assumptions could result in a material impact to the amount of the provision in future
    reporting periods.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

damages to the site, and requesting the immediate recovery of the affected ecological complex and the implementation of compensatory environmental

of Friends of the Environment (ANAMA) filed a class action against Vale, the State of Esp&#xed;rito Santo, the Environmental Institute
of the State of Esp&#xed;rito Santo (IEMA), the Municipality of Vit&#xf3;ria, the Federal Union, and the Brazilian Institute of Environment
and Renewable Natural Resources (Ibama). ANAMA requested compensation for the pollution allegedly caused in the Metropolitan Region of
the Municipality of Vit&#xf3;ria and the suspension of the operating license. In 2018, the Company entered into an agreement that established
investments to improve atmospheric emissions control at the Tubar&#xe3;o Port and pelletizing plants. This agreement should have halted
the continuation of the lawsuit. However, despite the conclusions of the judicial technical evidence and the execution of the agreement,
in November 2023, the court established that Vale should present additional technical evidence to assess the Company's contribution to
the air quality of the metropolitan region of Vit&#xf3;ria, in the state of Esp&#xed;rito Santo. The Company is defending these proceedings
and considers the risk of loss to be possible. However, the amount of any losses resulting from the possible shutdown of these operations
or compensation actions to prevent the suspension of the license cannot be reliably estimated.&lt;/p&gt;

Prosecutor's Office (MPF) filed a public civil action against Vale seeking compensation for the alleged environmental damages and reimbursement
of expenses incurred by public authorities. In April 2022, the MPF filed a criminal action before the Federal Court against the captain
of the carrier, Polaris, and Vale, for the alleged crime of pollution through the unauthorized discharge of oily waste. In November 2023,
the court accepted the complaint for the alleged crime of pollution through the discharge of oil into the sea. The Company is defending
these proceedings and considers the risk of loss to be possible. However, it is not yet possible to reliably estimate the amount of a
potential loss.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;Is a legal requirement for Brazilian public companies to retain 5% of the annual net income up
to 20% of the capital. The reserve can only be used to compensate losses or to increase capital. The reserve can only be used to absorb
losses or to increase capital. In 2022, the limit of 20% of the share capital for the constitution of the legal reserve was reached,
in accordance with article 193 of Law No. 6,404 and article 39 of the Company's Bylaws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/12pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tax incentive reserve
- &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;Results from the option to designate a portion of the income tax for investments in projects
approved by the Brazilian Government as well as tax incentives. The amount recorded in this reserve refers substantially to incentives
linked to subsidies for investments made within the scope of the Superintendencies for the Development of the Northeast (SUDENE) and
the Amaz&#xf4;nia (SUDAM).&lt;/span&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Statutory reserve
- &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;Aims to ensure the maintenance and development of the main activities that comprise the Company&#x2019;s
operations and to retain budgeted capital for investments. Based on the Company&#x2019;s by-laws, this reserve is capped to 50% of the
annual distributable net income, up to the amount of the share capital.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Retained earnings
reserve &#x2013; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;It is intended to be used in investments for capital expenditures as allowed by
the Brazilian Corporate Law.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Additional remuneration
reserve - &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;Results from the remuneration proposed by Management that exceeds the mandatory minimum
remuneration of 25% of the adjusted net income. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    treasury shares&lt;/span&gt; -&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;The Company holds shares in treasury for a future sale, cancellation or for
    the payment of the executives' long-term compensation programs. These shares are recognized in a specific account as a reduction of equity
    to the acquisition value and maintained at the cost of the transaction. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares
    or options are recognized in equity as a deduction from the amount raised, net of taxes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Shareholder&#x2019;s
    remuneration - &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;The shareholder&#x2019;s remuneration is paid on dividends and interest on capital.
    This remuneration is recognized as a liability in the financial statements of the Company based on bylaws. Any amount above the minimum
    mandatory remuneration approved by the by-laws shall only be recognized in current liabilities on the date that is approved by shareholders.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company is permitted to distribute
    interest attributable to equity. The calculation is based on the equity amounts as stated in the statutory accounting records and the
    interest rate applied may not exceed the Brazilian Government Long-term Interest Rate (&#x201c;TJLP&#x201d;) determined by the Central Bank
    of Brazil. Also, such interest may not exceed 50% of the net income for the year or 50% of retained earnings plus profit reserves as determined
    by Brazilian corporate law.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The benefit to the Company, as opposed
    to making a dividend payment, is a reduction in the income tax burden because this interest charge is tax deductible in Brazil. Income
    tax of 15% is withheld on behalf of the shareholders relative to the interest distribution. Under Brazilian law, interest attributed to
    equity is considered as part of the annual minimum mandatory dividend. This notional interest distribution is treated for accounting purposes
    as a deduction from equity in a manner similar to a dividend and the tax deductibility recorded in the income statement.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 7pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424"&gt;(i) Mandatory minimum remuneration corresponding
to 25% of the net income after appropriations to legal reserve and tax incentive reserve, according to Vale S.A.&#x2019;s by-laws.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 7pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424"&gt;(ii) According to the Vale S.A.'s shareholders
remuneration policy, minimum remuneration to Vale S.A.'s shareholders is calculated based on 30% of the adjusted EBITDA (as defined in
note 3) less sustaining capital investments, which represented US$4,371 (2024: US$4,538 and 2023: US$4,269) for the year ended December
31, 2025. Therefore, the additional remuneration to comply with the policy was US$2,800.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 7pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424"&gt;(iii) In addition, the Board of Directors
approved dividends beyond the policy calculation in the amount of US$1,000, totaling US$4,327 in remuneration to shareholders.&lt;/p&gt;

    treasury shares&lt;/span&gt; -&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;The Company holds shares in treasury for a future sale, cancellation or for
    the payment of the executives' long-term compensation programs. These shares are recognized in a specific account as a reduction of equity
    to the acquisition value and maintained at the cost of the transaction. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares
    or options are recognized in equity as a deduction from the amount raised, net of taxes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Shareholder&#x2019;s
    remuneration - &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;The shareholder&#x2019;s remuneration is paid on dividends and interest on capital.
    This remuneration is recognized as a liability in the financial statements of the Company based on bylaws. Any amount above the minimum
    mandatory remuneration approved by the by-laws shall only be recognized in current liabilities on the date that is approved by shareholders.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company is permitted to distribute
    interest attributable to equity. The calculation is based on the equity amounts as stated in the statutory accounting records and the
    interest rate applied may not exceed the Brazilian Government Long-term Interest Rate (&#x201c;TJLP&#x201d;) determined by the Central Bank
    of Brazil. Also, such interest may not exceed 50% of the net income for the year or 50% of retained earnings plus profit reserves as determined
    by Brazilian corporate law.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The benefit to the Company, as opposed
    to making a dividend payment, is a reduction in the income tax burden because this interest charge is tax deductible in Brazil. Income
    tax of 15% is withheld on behalf of the shareholders relative to the interest distribution. Under Brazilian law, interest attributed to
    equity is considered as part of the annual minimum mandatory dividend. This notional interest distribution is treated for accounting purposes
    as a deduction from equity in a manner similar to a dividend and the tax deductibility recorded in the income statement.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;When the Company ceases to have control, any interest retained in the entity is remeasured at
    its fair value, with the change in the carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. Amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive
    income are reclassified to the income statement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p id="xdx_84A_ecustom--DescriptionOfAccountingPolicyForInvestmentInAssociatesAndJointVenturesExplanatoryPolicyTextBlock_zml9bZn8sq7a" style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span id="xdx_86F_zNCv9JD62YF"&gt;Investments in associates
    and joint arrangements&lt;/span&gt; &#x2013;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;Associates are entities over which the Company holds significant
    influence (typically 20% to 50% equity interest). If the equity interest in an associate decrease while retaining significant influence,
    a proportionate portion of the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss as appropriate.
    Dilution gains and losses on associates are recognized in the income statement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Joint arrangements are all entities
    over which the Company shares control with one or more parties. The classification of joint arrangement investments as joint operations
    or joint ventures depends on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Joint operations are recorded in
    the financial statements to represent the Company&#x2019;s contractual rights and obligations. Accordingly, assets, liabilities, income
    and expenses related to the joint operation are individually recorded in the financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Interests in joint ventures are accounted
    for using the equity method, recognized initially at cost. The Company's investment in joint ventures includes identified goodwill from
    the acquisition, net of any impairment loss. The Company's interest in joint venture profits or losses is recognized in the income statement,
    and participation in changes in reserves is reflected in the Company's reserves. If the Company's interest in the losses of an associate
    or joint venture equals or exceeds the carrying amount of the investment, including any other receivables, additional losses are not recognized
    unless obligations or payments have been made on behalf of the joint venture.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In addition, the financial information
    used for associates and joint ventures to account for their impact in these financial statements may diverge from the stand-alone financial
    statements of those entities due to adjustments to Vale's accounting policy and variations in reporting periods.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p id="xdx_845_ecustom--DescriptionOfAccountingPolicyForCumulativeTranslationAdjustmentsPolicyTextBlock_zOEfRtdJcrZ6" style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span id="xdx_867_z7ojxqL1SGal"&gt;Cumulative translation
    adjustments&lt;/span&gt; -&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;According to IAS 21, exchange differences arising from transactions and balances
    of foreign operations are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity until the full or partial disposal of the
    operation. A "partial disposal" of an investment can be construed as (i) a reduction in the percentage of equity interest or
    (ii) a decrease in the absolute value of the investment through the reduction of the investee's capital, even if the investor's ownership
    percentage remains unchanged. Consequently, there exists an accounting policy choice concerning the definition of a partial disposal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In alignment with its accounting
    policy, the Company has chosen to treat a capital reduction in an investment in a foreign operation under the absolute value approach
    as described in (ii) above. Consequently, the exchange differences initially recorded in equity are reclassified to the income statement
    in the same proportion as the reduction in the net investment held in the foreign operation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
  &lt;/table&gt;

    &lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: white"&gt;In certain scenarios, judgment is necessary to
    determine whether, after considering all relevant factors, the Company exercises control, joint control, or significant influence over
    an entity. Significant influence includes situations involving collective control.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: white"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: white"&gt;The Company holds the majority of the voting
    capital in four joint arrangements (Alian&#xe7;a Norte Energia Participa&#xe7;&#xf5;es S.A., Companhia Hispano-Brasileira de Pelotiza&#xe7;&#xe3;o,
    Companhia &#xcd;talo-Brasileira de Pelotiza&#xe7;&#xe3;o, and Companhia Nipo-Brasileira de Pelotiza&#xe7;&#xe3;o). However,
    due to shareholders&#x2019; agreements, management has concluded that the Company lacks a sufficiently dominant voting interest to direct
    the activities of these entities. Consequently, these entities are accounted for using the equity method due to shareholder agreements
    where relevant decisions are shared with other parties.&lt;/p&gt;

    and joint arrangements&lt;/span&gt; &#x2013;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;Associates are entities over which the Company holds significant
    influence (typically 20% to 50% equity interest). If the equity interest in an associate decrease while retaining significant influence,
    a proportionate portion of the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss as appropriate.
    Dilution gains and losses on associates are recognized in the income statement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Joint arrangements are all entities
    over which the Company shares control with one or more parties. The classification of joint arrangement investments as joint operations
    or joint ventures depends on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Joint operations are recorded in
    the financial statements to represent the Company&#x2019;s contractual rights and obligations. Accordingly, assets, liabilities, income
    and expenses related to the joint operation are individually recorded in the financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Interests in joint ventures are accounted
    for using the equity method, recognized initially at cost. The Company's investment in joint ventures includes identified goodwill from
    the acquisition, net of any impairment loss. The Company's interest in joint venture profits or losses is recognized in the income statement,
    and participation in changes in reserves is reflected in the Company's reserves. If the Company's interest in the losses of an associate
    or joint venture equals or exceeds the carrying amount of the investment, including any other receivables, additional losses are not recognized
    unless obligations or payments have been made on behalf of the joint venture.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In addition, the financial information
    used for associates and joint ventures to account for their impact in these financial statements may diverge from the stand-alone financial
    statements of those entities due to adjustments to Vale's accounting policy and variations in reporting periods.&lt;/p&gt;

    adjustments&lt;/span&gt; -&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;According to IAS 21, exchange differences arising from transactions and balances
    of foreign operations are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity until the full or partial disposal of the
    operation. A "partial disposal" of an investment can be construed as (i) a reduction in the percentage of equity interest or
    (ii) a decrease in the absolute value of the investment through the reduction of the investee's capital, even if the investor's ownership
    percentage remains unchanged. Consequently, there exists an accounting policy choice concerning the definition of a partial disposal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In alignment with its accounting
    policy, the Company has chosen to treat a capital reduction in an investment in a foreign operation under the absolute value approach
    as described in (ii) above. Consequently, the exchange differences initially recorded in equity are reclassified to the income statement
    in the same proportion as the reduction in the net investment held in the foreign operation.&lt;/p&gt;

    determine whether, after considering all relevant factors, the Company exercises control, joint control, or significant influence over
    an entity. Significant influence includes situations involving collective control.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: white"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: white"&gt;The Company holds the majority of the voting

    Companhia &#xcd;talo-Brasileira de Pelotiza&#xe7;&#xe3;o, and Companhia Nipo-Brasileira de Pelotiza&#xe7;&#xe3;o). However,
    due to shareholders&#x2019; agreements, management has concluded that the Company lacks a sufficiently dominant voting interest to direct
    the activities of these entities. Consequently, these entities are accounted for using the equity method due to shareholder agreements
    where relevant decisions are shared with other parties.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/12pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In March 2025, the Company signed
a binding agreement with Global Infrastructure Partners (&#x201c;GIP&#x201d;) for the sale of 70% of its stake in Alian&#xe7;a and the
energy assets of Sol do Cerrado solar plant and Risoleta Neves hydroelectric plant.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/12pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;As a result, the related assets and
liabilities were classified as held for sale and Vale recognized an impairment loss in the amount of US$&lt;span id="xdx_90A_ecustom--ReversalOfImpairmentAndGainsLossesOnDisposalOfNoncurrentAssetsNet_iI_pn6n6_c20250331__ifrs-full--BusinessCombinationsAxis__custom--AliancaEnergiaMember_zptP67wwEkSb" title="Reversal of impairment and gains (losses) on disposal of non-current assets, net"&gt;117&lt;/span&gt; in the income statement for

was allocated to the goodwill (note 15) arising from the acquisition of Alian&#xe7;a.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/12pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In September 2025, the energy assets
of Sol do Cerrado solar plant and Risoleta Neves hydroelectric plant were transferred from Vale S.A. to Alian&#xe7;a and, the Company
concluded the transaction for the amount of US$&lt;span id="xdx_90C_ecustom--TransactionAmount_iI_pn6n6_c20250930__ifrs-full--BusinessCombinationsAxis__custom--AliancaEnergiaMember_zAoCLunTYuKc" title="Transaction amount"&gt;871&lt;/span&gt;, comprised by a cash inflow of US$&lt;span id="xdx_90A_ecustom--CashInflow_iI_pn6n6_c20250930__ifrs-full--BusinessCombinationsAxis__custom--AliancaEnergiaMember_zUjMl2gwQbvb" title="Cash inflow"&gt;1,006&lt;/span&gt;, net of a reduction of US$&lt;span id="xdx_909_ecustom--ReductionRemainingInvestment_iI_pn6n6_c20250930__ifrs-full--BusinessCombinationsAxis__custom--AliancaEnergiaMember_zAhn32wyyHQb" title="Reduction remaining investment"&gt;135&lt;/span&gt; in the remaining
investment in Alian&#xe7;a due to a loan assumed by the investee in the context of the transaction.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/12pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;As a result of the transaction, Vale
recognized a loss of US$&lt;span id="xdx_906_ecustom--ImpairmentOnDisposalOfNoncurrentAssetsNet_pn6n6_c20250101__20251231__ifrs-full--BusinessCombinationsAxis__custom--AngloAmericanBrasilMember_zTyFMdw9DDJl" title="Impairment on disposal of non-current assets, net"&gt;89&lt;/span&gt; in the income statement as "Impairment and result on disposal of non-current assets, net", and lost

for as an associate by the equity method.&lt;/p&gt;

February 2024, the Company entered into a binding agreement with Anglo American plc for the purchase of 15% interest in Anglo American
Brasil, the company that currently owns the Minas-Rio complex (&#x201c;Minas-Rio&#x201d;), in Brazil. The transaction was concluded in December
2024, and under the terms agreed, Vale contributed with Serra da Serpentina iron ore resources in the amount of US$&lt;span id="xdx_904_ecustom--AcquisitionCost_iI_pn6n6_c20251231__ifrs-full--BusinessCombinationsAxis__custom--AngloAmericanBrasilMember_zXOsz2P3LERi" title="Acquisition cost"&gt;750&lt;/span&gt; and paid US$&lt;span id="xdx_909_ecustom--PaymentOfCash_iI_pn6n6_c20251231__ifrs-full--BusinessCombinationsAxis__custom--AngloAmericanBrasilMember_zwN2Z7PU9PR4" title="Payment of cash"&gt;30&lt;/span&gt;
in cash. Additionally, depending on future iron ore prices over the next four years, there may be an adjustment to the transaction price
and the fair value adjustments of this mechanism will be recognized in the Company's income statement, if any.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;As a result of the transaction, Vale
recognized a gain of US$&lt;span id="xdx_903_ecustom--ReversalOfImpairmentAndGainsLossesOnDisposalOfNoncurrentAssetsNet_iI_pn6n6_c20251231__ifrs-full--BusinessCombinationsAxis__custom--AngloAmericanBrasilMember_zVJrOcTiVagi" title="Reversal of impairment and gains (losses) on disposal of non-current assets, net"&gt;626&lt;/span&gt; in the income statement as "Impairment and result on disposal of non-current assets, net" due to
the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount of the iron ore resources of Serra da Serpentina, which were contributed
to Anglo American Brasil as part of the consideration transferred for the equity interest acquired.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company will also receive its
pro-rata share of Minas-Rio's production, in addition to holding an option to purchase an additional 15% shareholding in Anglo American
Brasil. The exercise price of the option will be the fair value, calculated at the time of exercise.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Upon completion of the transaction,
Anglo American Brasil has become an associate of Vale, and the investment is accounted for equity method due to the significant influence
exercised by Vale in the investee.&lt;/p&gt;

Oman Distribution Center (&#x201c;VODC&#x201d;) &#x2013; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;VODC operates a maritime terminal with access
to the Port of Sohar in Oman, featuring a deep-water jetty and an integrated iron ore blending and distribution center with a nominal
capacity of 40 Mtpy. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In August 2024, the Company established
a joint venture with AP Oryx Holdings LLC (&#x201c;Apollo&#x201d;) through a binding agreement to sell 50% equity interest in VODC for US$600
million. The transaction was completed in September 2024, reducing Vale&#x2019;s stake in VODC from 100% to 50% and changing its status
from a subsidiary to a joint venture.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;With this transaction, Vale shared
control over VODC with Apollo and, from then on, will no longer consolidate VODC, which will be accounted for as a joint venture using
the equity method.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;As a result of the transaction, the
Company recognized a gain of US$&lt;span id="xdx_900_ecustom--ReversalOfImpairmentAndGainsLossesOnDisposalOfNoncurrentAssetsNet_iI_pn6n6_c20240930__ifrs-full--BusinessCombinationsAxis__custom--VODCMember_zbenQxJkB8wi" title="Reversal of impairment and gains (losses) on disposal of non-current assets, net"&gt;1,222&lt;/span&gt; in the income statement as "Impairment and result on disposal of non-current assets, net".

PT Vale Indonesia Tbk (&#x201c;PTVI&#x201d;) &#x2013;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;In June 2024, the Company reduced its interests
in PTVI in approximately 10.5%. This divestment was carried out through (i) the issuance of PTVI&#x2019;s new shares, thereby diluting
Vale in 2.1%, and (ii) by the direct sale of 8.4% of Vale&#x2019;s shares to MIND ID. As a result of the transaction, MIND ID became PTVI's
largest shareholder, holding approximately 34.0% of the issued shares, with the Company and SMM holding approximately 33.9% and 11.5%,
respectively. The completion of the transaction satisfied a key condition for PTVI to extend its mining license until 2035, with potential
extension beyond this period subject to certain requirements.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;With the transaction, Vale received
US$155 for its shares and lost control over PTVI, which was accounted for as an associate under the equity method due to the significant
influence retained by Vale over PTVI.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;As result, in June 2024, the Company

(iii) range of expected nickel prices from US$/t 17,501 to US$/t 21,000.&lt;/p&gt;

    -&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, irrespective
    of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for acquiring a subsidiary comprises (i) the
    fair values of the assets transferred; (ii) assumed liabilities of the acquired business; (iii) equity interests issued to the Company;
    (iv) the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement; and (v) the fair value of any pre-existing
    equity interest in the subsidiary.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Identifiable assets acquired, and
    liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, initially measured at their fair
    values on the acquisition date. The Company recognizes any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity on an acquisition-by-acquisition
    basis, either at fair value or at the noncontrolling interest&#x2019;s proportionate share of the acquired entity&#x2019;s net identifiable
    assets.&lt;/p&gt;

    meets the criteria for classification as held for sale if this condition is met earlier. A discontinued operation refers to a component
    of a Company's business that encompasses cash flows and operations distinguishable from the remainder of the Company, representing a significant
    separate line of business or geographical area of operations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The results of discontinued operations
    are presented in a single amount in the income statement, including the post-tax results of these operations, net of any impairment loss.
    Cash flows related to operating, investing, and financing activities of discontinued operations are disclosed in a separate note.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Upon classifying an operation as

&lt;p style="font: 8pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-align: justify"&gt;(i) The fair value of the 33.9% retained interest
was estimated based on a third-party valuation report. The valuation considered the discounted cash flow method. The key assumptions considered
were (i) discount rate of 7.75% with incremental risk premium of around 1.00% on certain assets, (ii) asset life through to 2065, and
(iii) range of expected nickel prices from US$/t 17,501 to US$/t 21,000.&lt;/p&gt;

    -&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, irrespective
    of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for acquiring a subsidiary comprises (i) the
    fair values of the assets transferred; (ii) assumed liabilities of the acquired business; (iii) equity interests issued to the Company;
    (iv) the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement; and (v) the fair value of any pre-existing

    liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, initially measured at their fair
    values on the acquisition date. The Company recognizes any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity on an acquisition-by-acquisition
    basis, either at fair value or at the noncontrolling interest&#x2019;s proportionate share of the acquired entity&#x2019;s net identifiable
    assets.&lt;/p&gt;

    meets the criteria for classification as held for sale if this condition is met earlier. A discontinued operation refers to a component
    of a Company's business that encompasses cash flows and operations distinguishable from the remainder of the Company, representing a significant
    separate line of business or geographical area of operations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Upon classifying an operation as

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company recorded as cost of goods

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Compensation Associated with ESG
Performance Targets&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Currently, the Company aligns the
compensation programs with the business strategy and the objective of making Vale a safer company. Since 2020, the Company has been following
new standards for executive compensation. For short-term compensation, at least 30% of performance targets are driven by ESG metrics
and directly related to safety, risk management and sustainability targets.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;b) Share-based payments&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;For the long-term incentive programs, the Company compensation plans
include Matching Program and Performance Share Unit program (&#x201c;PSU&#x201d;), with three-year-vesting cycles, respectively, with the
aim of encouraging employee&#x2019;s retention and encouraging their performance. The fair value of the programs is recognized on a straight-line
basis in the income statement, with a corresponding entry in equity, over the three-year required service period, net of estimated losses.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Matching Program&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/112% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;For the Matching program, the participants
can acquire Vale&#x2019;s common shares in the market. If the shares acquired are held for a period of three years, obeying the program
rules, the participant is entitled to receive from Vale an award in shares, equivalent to the number of shares originally acquired.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The fair value of the Matching program
was estimated using the Company's share price and ADR and the number of shares granted on the grant date.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Under the PSU, eligible executives
can earn, after a three-year vesting cycle, an award in common shares conditioned to Vale's performance factor measured based on Total
Shareholder Return ("TSR"), ROIC and Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") metrics.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The fair value of the PSU program
was measured by estimating the performance factor using Monte Carlo simulations for the Return to Shareholders Indicator and health and
safety and sustainability indicators. The assumptions used for the Monte Carlo simulations are shown in the table below, as well as the
result used to calculate the expected value of the total performance factor.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/12pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In Brazil, the management of the
pension plans is the responsibility of Funda&#xe7;&#xe3;o Vale do Rio Doce de Seguridade Social (&#x201c;Valia&#x201d;) a nonprofit
entity with administrative and financial autonomy. The Brazilian plans are as follows:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Benefit plan Vale
Mais (&#x201c;Vale Mais&#x201d;) and benefit plan Valiaprev (&#x201c;Valiaprev&#x201d;) -&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;The Company's
employees participating in Valia are associated, for the most part, with the Vale Mais plan, which has a defined benefit component (settled
benefit from the former Defined Benefits Plan and specific benefit to cover death, disability retirement and sickness benefit) and defined
contribution component (for programmable benefits). The Valiaprev plan is similar to the Vale Mais plan, with the exception of not having
the benefit settled and the sickness benefit. Both Vale Mais and Valiaprev plans were overfunded as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Defined benefit plan
(&#x201c;Plano BD&#x201d;) -&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;The Plano BD is closed to new entrants since 2000, when the Vale Mais
plan was implemented. It is a plan that has defined benefit characteristics, covering almost exclusively retirees and their beneficiaries.
It was overfunded as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and the contributions made by the Company are not material. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/12pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&#x201c;Abono complementa&#xe7;&#xe3;o&#x201d;
benefit plan -&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;The Company sponsors a specific group of former employees entitled to receive additional
benefits from Valia regular payments. The &#x201c;&lt;i&gt;Abono complementa&#xe7;&#xe3;o&lt;/i&gt;&#x201d; benefit was overfunded as of December
31, 2025 and 2024.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p style="font: 10pt/12pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Other benefits -
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;The Company sponsors medical plans for employees that meet specific criteria and for employees
who use the &#x201c;&lt;i&gt;abono complementa&#xe7;&#xe3;o&lt;/i&gt;&#x201d; benefit. Although those benefits are not specific retirement plans,
actuarial calculations are used to calculate future obligations. As those benefits are related to health care plans they have nature of
underfunded benefits, and are presented as underfunded plans as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The foreign plans are managed in
accordance with their region. They are divided between plans in Canada, USA and UK. Pension plans in Canada are composed of a defined
benefit and defined contribution component. Currently the defined benefit plans do not allow new entrants. The majority of foreign defined
benefit plans are underfunded as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and just two overfunded plans as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;In December 2023, the Company entered
into annuity contracts to transfer US$&lt;span id="xdx_909_eifrs-full--PostemploymentBenefitExpenseDefinedContributionPlans_pn6n6_c20230101__20231231__ifrs-full--DefinedBenefitPlansAxis__custom--PensionPlanMember_zxQ1X2CGrzCj" title="Pension plan obligations"&gt;836&lt;/span&gt; of pension plan obligations and its associated assets. This transaction triggered a settlement
and remeasurement of the pension plan, and as a result, the Company recognized a non-cash loss of US$&lt;span id="xdx_90B_eifrs-full--OtherExpenseByNature_pn6n6_c20230101__20231231__ifrs-full--DefinedBenefitPlansAxis__custom--PensionPlanMember_zi9E2xXlHev" title="Other expenses"&gt;5&lt;/span&gt; in the income statement as &#x201c;Other

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;vi. Risks related to plans&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Administrators of the plans have
committed to strategic planning to strengthen internal controls and risk management. This obligation is achieved by conducting audits
and assessments of internal controls, which aim to mitigate operational market and credit risks. Risks are presented as follow:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Legal -&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;Lawsuits: issuance of periodic reports to the audit and Board of Directors, including the lawyers' analysis
of the chances of success (remote, probable or possible), focusing on the administrative decision on provisions. Promote and monitor adaptations
to new legal obligations and monitor compliance with established legal obligations. Due diligence of third parties from the perspective
of the Integrity Program.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Actuarial -&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;The annual actuarial evaluation of the benefit plans comprises the assessment of taxes, income and adequacy
of the costing plans. Technical study of compliance with the assumptions adopted in the actuarial evaluation of benefit plans prepared
by an external actuary, in accordance with current legislation. Monitoring of biometric, demographic and economic-financial assumptions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Market &#x2013;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;Technical allocation studies are carried out with the objective of evaluating investment portfolios of the
different obligations of the plans and projecting the future result of these portfolios. Asset Liability Management studies are carried
out for defined benefit type obligations (Asset Liability Management study), while for defined contribution type obligations there are
efficient frontier studies (investment profiles) and glidepath (life cycles). Periodic monitoring of the plans' short-term market risk
based on risk indicators (VaR - Value at Risk, Benchmark VaR, Maximum Drawdown, Stress Tests, among others).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Credit -&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;Risk classification of securities from corporate and bank issuers based on quantitative and qualitative assessments
of the credit risk of the issuer, the asset and its guarantees, from acquisition to maturity. This internal rating sensitizes provisions
for credit risk losses, as well as verified defaults, in accordance with current legislation. Provisions for loan losses with participants
are realized based on default verified in payments.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Liquidity -&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #555555"&gt;Technical study of the liquidity of plans with defined benefit obligations, focusing on the long term, whose
objective is to verify the sufficiency of the assets in fulfilling the plan's obligations. Monitoring of short-term liquidity with a focus
on cash available to meet plan obligations for the coming years. The defined contribution bond portfolios (investment profiles and life
cycles) have assets available for sale at any time in normal market situations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;vii. Actuarial and economic assumptions
and sensitivity analysis&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;All calculations involve future actuarial
projections about some parameters, such as: salaries, interest, inflation, mortality and disability.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The economic and actuarial assumptions
adopted have been formulated considering the long-term period for maturity and should therefore be analyzed accordingly. In the short
term they may not be realized.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The following assumptions were adopted
in the assessment:&lt;/p&gt;

    benefit obligation as of that date, less the fair value of plan assets. The Company recognized in the income statement the costs of services,
    the interest expense of the obligations and the interest income of the plan assets. The remeasurement of gains and losses, return on plan
    assets (excluding the amount of interest on return of assets, which is recognized in income for the year) and changes in the effect of
    the ceiling of the active and onerous liabilities are recognized in comprehensive income for the year.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;For overfunded plans, the Company
    recognizes the net defined benefit assets limited to the present value of the economic benefits available as refunds or reductions in
    future contributions, considering minimum funding requirements applicable. For underfunded plans, the Company recognizes net defined benefit
    liabilities. The gain or loss on recognition/remeasurement of these net assets/liabilities are recognized in income statement or in comprehensive
    income, when arising from the actuarial valuation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

    amounts recognized depend on several factors that are determined based on actuarial calculations using various assumptions in order to
    determine costs and liabilities. One of these assumptions is selection and use of the discount rate. Any changes to these assumptions
    will affect the amount recognized.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: white"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: white"&gt;At the end of each year the Company and external
    actuaries review the assumptions that will be used for the following year. These assumptions are used in determining the fair values of
    assets and liabilities, costs and expenses and the future values of estimated cash outflows, which are recorded in the plan obligations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company has the Annual Incentive
    Program (AIP) based on Team and business unit&#x2019;s contribution and Company-wide performance through operational cash generation. The
    Company makes an accrual based on evaluation periodic of goals achieved and Company result, using the accrual basis and recognition of
    present obligation arising from past events in the estimated outflow of resources in the future. The accrual is recorded as cost of goods
    sold and services rendered or operating expenses in accordance with the activity of each employee.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company has established a procedure
    for awarding certain eligible executives (Matching and Performance Share Unit (&#x201c;PSU&#x201d;) Programs) with the goal of encouraging
    employee retention and optimum performance. Share-based long-term compensation programs are equity-settled, under which the Company receives
    employee services as consideration for equity instruments. The fair value of employee services received in exchange for the grant of options
    is recognized as an expense. The total amount of expenses is recognized during the period in which the right is acquired; period during
    which the specific vesting conditions are met.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;iv. Non-current benefits &#x2013;

    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company has several retirement
    plans for its employees.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;For defined contribution plans, the
    Company's obligations are limited to a monthly contribution linked to a pre-defined percentage of the remuneration of employees enrolled
    into these plans.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;For defined benefit plans, actuarial
    calculations are periodically obtained for liabilities determined in accordance with the Projected Unit Credit Method in order to estimate
    the Company&#x2019;s obligation. The liability recognized in the statement of financial position represents the present value of the defined
    benefit obligation as of that date, less the fair value of plan assets. The Company recognized in the income statement the costs of services,
    the interest expense of the obligations and the interest income of the plan assets. The remeasurement of gains and losses, return on plan
    assets (excluding the amount of interest on return of assets, which is recognized in income for the year) and changes in the effect of
    the ceiling of the active and onerous liabilities are recognized in comprehensive income for the year.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;For overfunded plans, the Company
    recognizes the net defined benefit assets limited to the present value of the economic benefits available as refunds or reductions in
    future contributions, considering minimum funding requirements applicable. For underfunded plans, the Company recognizes net defined benefit
    liabilities. The gain or loss on recognition/remeasurement of these net assets/liabilities are recognized in income statement or in comprehensive
    income, when arising from the actuarial valuation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 5pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0 0; color: #FF0090"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

    amounts recognized depend on several factors that are determined based on actuarial calculations using various assumptions in order to
    determine costs and liabilities. One of these assumptions is selection and use of the discount rate. Any changes to these assumptions
    will affect the amount recognized.&lt;/p&gt;

    actuaries review the assumptions that will be used for the following year. These assumptions are used in determining the fair values of
    assets and liabilities, costs and expenses and the future values of estimated cash outflows, which are recorded in the plan obligations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The consolidated financial statements
of the Company (&#x201c;financial statements&#x201d;) have been prepared and are presented in accordance with the International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.2pt"&gt;&#xae;&lt;/span&gt; Accounting Standards) as issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB). All material information for the financial statements, and only this information, are presented and consistent
to those used by the Company's Management.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The financial statements have been
prepared to update users on the relevant events and transactions that occurred in the period and must be read together with the financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. All accounting policies, accounting estimates and judgments, risk management and measurement
methods are the same as those adopted in the preparation of the latest annual financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;These financial statements were authorized
for issue by the Board of Directors on February 12, 2026.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;Certain new accounting standards,
amendments and interpretations have been published recently, however, have not materially impacted these financial statements. The Company
did not early adopt any standards and does not expect that other standards already issued and not yet mandatory will have a material impact
in future reporting periods.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p id="xdx_846_ecustom--PrinciplesForConsolidationPolicyTextBlock_zds96q4MWyOh" style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #007E7A"&gt;&lt;b&gt;b) &lt;span id="xdx_868_zb88El2On2Cc"&gt;Principles of consolidation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company's financial statements
reflect the assets, liabilities and transactions of the Parent Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (&#x201c;subsidiaries&#x201d;).
Intercompany balances and transactions, which include unrealized profits, are eliminated. A list of the most relevant companies, including

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The &#160;financial statements of
the Company and its associates and joint ventures are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which each entity
operates (&#x201c;functional currency&#x201d;), in the case of the Parent Company it is the Brazilian real (&#x201c;R$&#x201d;). For presentation
purposes, these &#160;financial statements are presented in the United States dollars (&#x201c;US$&#x201d;) as the Company believes that
this is how international investors analyze the financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The income statement and cash flows
statements of the Parent Company and its investees which have a functional currency other than US$ are translated into US$ at the average
monthly exchange rate, the assets and liabilities are translated at the final rate and the other equity items are translated at the historical
rate. All monetary exchange differences are recognized in comprehensive income as &#x201c;Translation adjustments&#x201d;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;When a foreign operation is totally
or partially disposed, the monetary exchange differences that were recorded in the equity are recognized in the income statement for the
year, see accounting policy in note 30 of these financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The main exchange rates used by the
Company to translate its foreign operations are as follows:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The preparation of financial statements
requires the use of critical accounting estimates and Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the Company&#x2019;s accounting
policies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company makes estimates about
the future based on assumptions. Accounting estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on management's experience
and knowledge, information available at the date of the financial statements and other factors, including expectations of future events
that are considered reasonable under the circumstances. Accounting estimates, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The &#160;financial statements of
the Company and its associates and joint ventures are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which each entity
operates (&#x201c;functional currency&#x201d;), in the case of the Parent Company it is the Brazilian real (&#x201c;R$&#x201d;). For presentation
purposes, these &#160;financial statements are presented in the United States dollars (&#x201c;US$&#x201d;) as the Company believes that
this is how international investors analyze the financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The income statement and cash flows
statements of the Parent Company and its investees which have a functional currency other than US$ are translated into US$ at the average
monthly exchange rate, the assets and liabilities are translated at the final rate and the other equity items are translated at the historical
rate. All monetary exchange differences are recognized in comprehensive income as &#x201c;Translation adjustments&#x201d;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;When a foreign operation is totally
or partially disposed, the monetary exchange differences that were recorded in the equity are recognized in the income statement for the
year, see accounting policy in note 30 of these financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The main exchange rates used by the
Company to translate its foreign operations are as follows:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The preparation of financial statements
requires the use of critical accounting estimates and Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the Company&#x2019;s accounting
policies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The Company makes estimates about
the future based on assumptions. Accounting estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on management's experience
and knowledge, information available at the date of the financial statements and other factors, including expectations of future events
that are considered reasonable under the circumstances. Accounting estimates, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"&gt;The areas involving significant estimates
or judgements or complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions are presented
