***Disclosure of Payments by Resource Extraction Issuers***

The payment disclosure required by this Item 2.01 is included as Exhibit 2.01 to this Form SD.

 ****

***Report on payments to governments for the year ended December 31, 2024***

This report provides a consolidated overview of the payments to governments made by Vale S.A. and its consolidated subsidiaries for the fiscal year December 31, 2024. In this report, references to "Vale," "we," "us" or the "Company" are to Vale and, except where the context otherwise requires, its consolidated subsidiaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Reporting currency:** All payments are reported in U.S. dollars, which is the
presentation currency of our consolidated financial statements under IFRS. Payments that were made in currencies other than in U.S. dollars
have been converted to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate existing at the time the payment is made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Cash basis:** All payments are reported on a cash basis, meaning that
they are reported in the period which they are paid, as opposed to being reported on an accrual basis (which would mean that they are
were reported in the period for which the liabilities arise). Refunds are also reported in the period they are received by Vale and are
shown as negative amounts in the report.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Project definition:** For the report proposal, means all operational activities
related to the type of the resource in a certain region, governed by contracts, licenses, leases, concessions or similar legal agreements
and that form the basis for payment of liabilities to a government.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Not de minimis threshold:** Payments below US$100,000 are not required to be disclosed
in this report, resulting in some jurisdictions not being referenced to herein.

**Payments in scope**

The information is reported under the following payment types in accordance with the applicable rules:

**Taxes**

Taxes paid by Vale on its profits, corporate income, and production. Taxes levied on consumption are not required to be disclosed under applicable rules.

**Fees**

Payments related to license fees, rental or leasing fees and other considerations for licenses or concessions. It includes the Mineral Resources Inspection Fee (TFRM), which is a fee imposed by several Brazilian states for the inspection of mineral resources.

**Production entitlements**

Payments to governments entitled to a share of production under production sharing agreements. Production entitlements are most often paid in-kind. In-kind payments are measured based on the market value of the commodity on the date of delivery to the government. For the year ended December 31, 2024, there were no reportable production entitlements payments to governments.

**Payments for infrastructure improvements**

Payments for the construction of public infrastructure such as roads or railway to further development of minerals. Payments for infrastructure improvements often are in-kind payments rather than direct monetary payments.
