Iron ore

Vale is the world’s largest producer of iron ore and pellets, essential raw materials for the manufacture of steel. Our mines are concentrated in Brazil, where we also operate pelletizing plants. We are investing in technology to extend the lifespan of our iron ore mines, processing low-grade ores, expanding our production capacity and contributing to environmental preservation. In Pará, the S11D project brings together the lessons Vale has learned from mining in the Amazon. The project, which will enable Vale to maintain its global leadership in the supply of iron ore, will use 93% less water, consume 77% less fuel and emit 50% less greenhouse gases than a comparable operation based on conventional methods.

Slide 14

– Every material movement is a job – Production Planing creates job in PIMS and exchange via web service to SYMS – In addition Operators can also enter jobs manual in SYMS – Delegation

  • All planned and actual jobs are displayed in a list
  • Operator can choose and delegate to start execution
  • SYMS evaluates job according to available space, material

quality and quantity requirements – Delegate job information to substation and machine controller – Automation control receives information from machine controller and performs fully automated machine operation – Moved material & Qualities will be tracked – Actual performance will be reported to PIMS/GPV

Features of iSAM Technology

Automated Stacking Operation

May 8, 2017

Slide 18

– Fully automated stacking assures the execution of appropriate stacking method (Coneshell, Windrow, ..) – Stacking exact into the specified stockpile profile – Flat shaped piles for maximum performance – No overrun of the pile area – Reduced dust by adjustment of the boom close to the top of the pile

Fully automated stacking & reclaiming

Features of iSAM Technology

Automated Reclaiming Operation

May 8, 2017

Slide 19

– Fully automated reclaiming based on stockpile shape and volume model – Operation supported by 3D laser scanner for shape detection and RTK-GPS receivers for exact positioning – Reclaiming also in worse environmental conditions due to continuously updated stockpile shape model – Smooth continuous operation reduces wear and tear

Lessons learned:

  • Importance of collaboration with Terminal Management Team for process specification during software development phase
  • Do realistic and detailed platform test (automation)
  • Difficulties on dealing with a plant in operation

Benefits for the site:

  • Reduced human interference resulting in cutting source of error by automated data exchange
  • Reclaiming stability (longer lifespan / lower flow rate variability)
  • Lower variability on quality control (for blending activities)
  • Higher performance
