All statements, when based upon expectations about the future and not on historical facts, involve various risks and uncertainties. Vale cannot guarantee that such statements will prove correct. These risks and uncertainties include factors related to the following: (a) the countries where we operate, especially Brazil and Canada; (b) the global economy; (c) the capital markets; (d) the mining and metals prices and their dependence on global industrial production, which is cyclical by nature; and (e) global competition in the markets in which Vale operates. To obtain further information on factors that may lead to results different from those forecast by Vale, please consult the reports Vale files with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Brazilian Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (CVM), the French Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) and The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, and in particular the factors discussed under “Forward -Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in Vale‟s annual report on Form 20-F. ” 2

  5. Our goal is to maximize shareholder return through the cycles. We are actively pursuing many ways to achieve it  Removal of uncertainties. – Enormous progress in environmental permitting and gradual resolution of tax issues.  Strong discipline in capital allocation – Focus on world-class assets: towards a smaller and higher return project portfolio. – Divestiture of non-core assets. – A lot of value to be unlocked from existing operations and projects ramping up. – Deploying capital to our highest return business: iron ore projects coming on stream in 2013-2016 to add substantial value.  Building a lean organization , with a greater focus on a lower cost structure.  Meeting the growth trilemma: capex and dividends aligned with expected cash flow, with a minimal use of the balance sheet. 5

  6. New platforms of value creation are beginning to ramp up as planned  Salobo: copper & gold.  Lubambe: copper.  VNC: nickel & cobalt. 6

  7. Salobo - a world-class asset in the first quartile of the industry cost curve - is delivering copper and gold  Salobo I, the first plant, throughput of 12Mtpa¹, is operating.  Ongoing construction of Salobo II 12 Mtpa¹ - 68% physical progress - start-up 1H14.  Total capacity - Salobo I&II - 200,000 t of copper in concentrates plus about 320,000 ozpy of gold by- product. 7 ¹ Run-of-mine (ROM).

  8. VNC is proving to be technically feasible  Dec 2012 - 812 t of Ni in NiO.  Jan 2013 - 1,380 t of Ni in NiO (87%) and NHC (13%) and 100 t of cobalt (IPCM).  Feb 2013 - second production line starting to operate. Product quality has been very good and meets design expectations Ni = nickel NiO = nickel oxide NHC = nickel hydroxide cake IPCM = intermediate product of cobalt methodology 8

  9. Existing base metals operations - nickel & copper - are showing a good performance. The successful ramp-up of projects – Salobo, Lubambe and VNC - is a major source of upside to current performance Adjusted EBITDA¹ Adjusted EBITDA margin¹ US$ million 613 33.9 446 25.3 3Q12 4Q12 3Q12 4Q12 9 ¹ Excluding pre-operating, idling expenses and R&D.

  14. The divestment program is creating value: improves capital allocation, generates cash and simplifies the portfolio, focusing on what is really important  April 2012: Kaolin - US$ 30 million.  May 2012: Thermal coal in Colombia - US$ 407 million.  July 2012: Manganese ferroalloys in Europe - US$ 160 million.  August 2012: 10 large ore carriers - US$ 600 million.  December 2012: – Araucaria nitrogen - US$ 234 million. – Oil & gas exploration assets - US$ 40 million. Total divestiture: US$ 1.471 billion 14

  15. Unlocking value from existing assets: sale of gold flows, extracted as a by-product, at a very attractive premium  25% of the Salobo stream for mine life and 70% of Sudbury for 20 years.  US$ 1.9 billion upfront payment plus SLW warrants valued at US$ 100 million plus US$ 400 per oz upon gold delivery.  Unlocks substantial value still hidden in our base metals operations. – Salobo payable gold by-product valued at US$ 5.32 billion plus NPV of US$ 400 payment flows for each oz of gold delivered. – Estimated capex of Salobo I&II of US$ 4.2 billion with nominal capacity of 200,000 metric tons of copper and the gold by- product. 15

  16. Four major projects - involving total capital expenditures of US$ 13.0 billion¹ - are starting up in 2013 to boost value over the next few years Iron ore & logistics  Carajás Additional 40 Mtpy.  CLN 150 Mtpy.  Conceição Itabiritos.
