VALE Vale

continua

In 2014 there were important strategic moves, such as, for instance, the investment agreement with Mitsui for the Moatize mine and the Nacala Logistic Corridor. Upon conclusion of the transaction, Vale will hold indirectly 81% of the Moatize mine and 35% of the corridor, sharing control with Mitsui. The transaction will allow Vale to save approximately US$3.7 billion in investment avoidance and cash inflow, both of these being important to conclude our coal projects.



Also, we concluded the deal to sell 25% of the future gold production from the Salobo copper mine, in Brazil, for which we received in advance an amount in cash of US$ 900 million. This transaction was not listed in the slide above.



I would also like to add that we continued to reduce our cost and expense structure, achieving US$1.2 billion savings in 2014. As an example of the optimization in the value of our assets, the Integra and Isaac Plains coal mines in Australia were placed in care and maintenance as they were not economically feasible under price levels expected for the short and medium terms. We expect to continue to reduce costs and expenses going forward.



You can find more details of our debt structure in our Financial Statements – Note 16 and in the 2014 20F (Liquidity and Capital Resources section), both available in our website.





Best,

Andrea Gutman, CFA

Hoy envié mail a relacion con los inversores de Vale, preguntando por lo de btg y un par de cosas mas sobre lo sostenible y el outlook de la empresa con el io a 50. No esperaba respuesta...

Dear Javier,



Vale is focused in maintaining its competitiveness, even in an environment of lower iron ore prices, through the improvement in productivity and products quality, reduction of costs and expenses and discipline in capital allocation.



Also, in order to be able to keep the investment plan for our main projects, we have several initiatives to raise cash in 2015 and 2016. In line with our discipline in capital allocation, we are looking for the sale of non-core assets and looking for partnerships in coal and fertilizers. Those initiatives should be able to help us fund the gap in cash needs, in case iron ore prices stay at US$ 50/t level.

Al repartir dividendos en el caso de los cedear no se retiene el 10% no? Si tenemos un nuevo rally de argentina y con vale a estos valores va a estar lindo para arbitrar antes del pago.

No por impuestos internos, pero creo que el deutsche te retiene cometas. Cambia con cada cedear, hay que llamar a la soc de bolsa y averiguar.
