    Brazilian iron ore miner Vale has temporarily suspended the disposal of tailings at the Itabirucu dam, located at the Itabira Complex, while analyzing the geotechnical characteristics of the dam.

    The company said that the Itabirucu dam had its Statement of Condition of Stability (DCE) issued last month, which remains valid.

    Vale said that the move to halt the dam's activities is the company's voluntary decision, in agreement with external inspection and regulatory bodies, to conduct complementary studies on the Itabira dam's geotechnical characteristics.
