Vale S.A. has announced its cobalt production reached 754 metric tons in the second quarter of 2021, up by 34.2% from the prior-year quarter and up 6% from the first quarter of 2021.
Manganese ore production totaled 113 kt in the April-June period, 24.2% lower than the prior-year quarter due to adjustments in the mining plan to ensure the safety and sustainability of underground operations at the Urucum mine.
Coal production was 2.1 Mt in the second quarter, up 63% from the prior-year quarter and 92% higher than the year-ago quarter. This was mainly due to improved productivity after the major plant revamp concluded last quarter.
