Marcelo Bacci, Executive Vice President of Finance and Investor Relations at Vale, discussed the company's strategy and market outlook in recent media appearances. In a September 2026 interview on Stock Pickers, Bacci stated that Vale aims to at least double its copper production by 2034, targeting an increase from its current annual output of 380,000 tons to approximately 700,000 tons through organic growth based on existing reserves. He described copper as a growth market driven by electrification and data transmission infrastructure, while noting that Vale is not currently among the top 10 global copper producers. Bacci also commented on capital allocation, saying that decisions on additional share buybacks or dividend payments would be made closer to the end of the year due to difficulty forecasting cash flow amid price volatility in ore and inputs like oil and freight. In a separate September 2026 interview on Bloomberg Open Interest, Bacci said he did not foresee a downturn in iron ore prices, describing the commodity as resilient with stable demand in the coming years and a longer-term shift toward higher-grade products driven by decarbonization. He noted that Chinese demand has remained stable or grown slightly, with infrastructure, industrial production, and exports compensating for declines in the property market. Bacci also mentioned that Vale was preparing contingency plans for potential extreme El Niño effects, including dry conditions in the north and increased rain in the south, which could affect operations such as vessel loading. He stated that an IPO for Vale Base Metals was not currently under consideration, as the company intends to grow the subsidiary through its own resources and capital.
