Vale Base Metals is excited to announce that we now have two RMI certified refineries for cobalt in Canada! 🍁 Our Long Harbour Processing Plant in Newfoundland and Labrador now joins our Port Colborne refinery in Ontario on the list of RMI certified cobalt refineries, after successfully participating in the RMI Cobalt Refiner Due Diligence Standard. Our corporate team and employees at the Long Harbour Processing Plant have demonstrated a commitment to quality and excellence, aligning with OECD guidance for responsibly sourcing feed. This dedication involves rigorous measures, including: 🔍 Site Audits: Preliminary and regular audits to ensure compliance with RMI Cobalt standards, guided by the OECD. 💻Management Systems: Implementation of robust management systems to oversee our supply chain processes. 📋Risk Assessments: Comprehensive risk assessments to identify and mitigate potential sourcing risks in our supply chain. 📜 Due Diligence: Conducting thorough due diligence across countries, transit routes, ports, and warehouses to uphold ethical practices and requirements. This achievement speaks to our commitment to a responsible mineral supply chain, reinforcing our position as a trusted and responsible supplier of choice in our industry. As we transform together towards a greener, cleaner future, this milestone underscores our dedication to ethical practices and environmental stewardship. 🌳 #WeAreValeBaseMetals #EnergyTransitionMetals #TransformTogether Romea Dennis Caroline Valadao Lesley Joy Sam Ghoneim

The Sudbury community has spoken, and the iconic Vale Base Metals superstack will be commemorated with a monument in its honour. Votes were submitted online and in-person at our Sudbury Open House at Dynamic Earth on September 25. Over 5,000 votes were cast, and the monument proposal emerged as the clear winner! The next phase of the project will focus on bringing this vision to life, with a commitment to honouring the superstack's historical significance to the community in a unique and creative way. The superstack and copperstack at the Copper Cliff Smelter Complex have been decommissioned following the successful completion of the approximately $1 billion Clean Atmospheric Reduction (Clear AER) Project, a cornerstone initiative in our ongoing, long-term environmental stewardship program. The Clean AER Project has enabled our Sudbury Operations to eliminate 100,000 metric tonnes of sulfur dioxide emissions each year (equivalent to 1,000 railway tanker cars of sulphuric acid), bringing emissions down to 30% below the provincial standard and paving the way for a greener, cleaner future for us all. #ValeBaseMetals #EnergyTransition #WinningVote #HonouringThePast #TransformingTheFuture

Wow, what a day! Thank you, Sudbury! Last week, our Greater Sudbury operations hosted their Annual Open House at Dynamic Earth – and we couldn’t be more grateful to everyone who came out to connect with us! We had a fantastic time with over 900 community members, including more than 200 elementary school students, who got to experience the future of mining up close. From talking with Vale Base Metals employees, to watching mine rescue demonstrations, to seeing drone footage from an underground mine, there was something for everyone to enjoy and learn about. A huge thank you to the schools, students, community partners and families who joined us – we loved meeting you and sharing how modern mining is transforming the future in Sudbury and beyond! #SudburyOpenHouse #ModernMining #WeAreValeBaseMetals
