Vale stock slides on Fabrica mine overflow in Brazil; what investors watch next
Vale shares fell 1.6% in U.S. trading Monday after a water-and-sediment overflow at its Fábrica mine in Minas Gerais reached a competitor’s facilities and local streams. Vale reported no injuries and said the incident was unrelated to its dams, keeping production guidance unchanged. Rival miners Rio Tinto and BHP rose up to 2%. Local officials confirmed a second overflow at Vale’s Viga mine within 24 hours.
