Vale S.A. Mineral Reserves have been prepared in accordance with SEC Industry Guide 7 and in accordance with those disclosure standards, mineral resources for the Northern and Southeastern Iron Ore Systems have not been publicly reported. Please see “Mineral Reserve and Resource Estimates” for further information on reporting under SEC Industry Guide 7 on page 151 3 For Ro yalty Ounce calculation, the Vale Royalty covers certain mining concessions in the Northern and Southeastern Systems reflecting the properties owned by Vale at privatization. At the Northern System, all of the Mineral Reserves are estimated to be covered by the Vale Royalty and at the Southeastern System, 60% of Mineral Reserves are estimated to be covered by the Vale Royalty. Historically, approximately 70% of Southeastern System production has been attributable to the Vale Royalty and is expected to remain at that level over the medium-term. The Mineral Reserves of the Southeastern System include non-approved projects that are not covered by the Vale Royalty (e.g., the Apolo project). In addition, Franco-Nevada accounts for moisture, mass recovery, and allowable deductions under the Vale Royalty, as described more fully on Vale's website. For the Royalty Ounce calculation associated with the Mineral Reserves of the Sossego mine, Franco-Nevada accounts for allowable deductions and mineral recovery.
