Legal developments include ongoing negotiations for a new settlement agreement related to the Samarco dam collapse and the successful removal of Vale's name from a 'dirty list' of entities accused of having workers in conditions analogous to slavery. Operational challenges included the suspension of environmental operating licenses for the Sossego and Onça Puma mines and a fire at the Salobo 3 copper processing plant.
