what happened
According to TradingView, Vale produced 336 million tonnes of iron ore, 382 thousand tonnes of copper and 177 thousand tonnes of nickel in 2025. Its priorities include raising iron ore output, reaching roughly 700 thousand tonnes of copper a year by 2035, lowering nickel costs and keeping capital expenditure below $6 billion.
why it matters
The copper goal matters most for markets, since higher output over time could add to metal supply. Iron ore remains the core of Vale's business, so its volumes and cautious spending plans will be closely watched by commodity traders.
