Vale informs that it is declaring force majeure (FM) on a number of its iron ore sales contracts effective from today, January 11, 2012. We are communicating with customers as required under our agreements with them.
High rainfall since mid-December 2011 and continuing over the last few days in the Brazilian states of Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro and EspÃrito Santo has created serious challenges to the operations of our Southeastern and Southern Systems.

So far, Vale S.A. estimates a loss of 2 million metric tons in iron ore shipments.
