A Brazilian mining giant and one of the world's largest producers of iron ore, Vale also digs up nickel, copper, cobalt, and manganese used in everything from steelmaking to batteries. It was founded in 1942 as Companhia Vale do Rio Doce, a state-owned company named after the Doce River valley where it began mining, and privatized in 1997. It runs the Carajás mine in the Amazon, the largest iron ore mine on the planet, and shortened its name to 'Vale' in 2009 because the word is easy to recognize in many languages.
Select a row to see that insider’s individual transactions. † Sum of the holdings confirmed in the 12 months before this insider's last filing. A Form 4 reports a holding per line — held directly, or through a named trust, partnership or foundation, and in each share class separately — never a person’s total. Lines not restated in that time are left out and shown apart: an active filer restates what they still hold, so a line they did not restate is more often an entity since renamed, whose shares a successor line reports too. An amber marker means some were left out.
