We are in Canada operating sites with over 100 years of history in the local mining industry and we have an extensive infrastructure for the production, refinement and distribution of nickel and copper.
Our history in the country began in 2006, following a USD 19.4 billion takeover bid for the International Nickel Company that was approved by stakeholders the following year. Starting on 2009, the company began to be officially called Vale S.A.
