Independent auditors report on the financial statements
(A free translation of the original report in Portuguese as published in Brazil containing financial statement prepared in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and rules of the International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS)
To
The Stockholders, Counselors and Management of
Vale S.A.
Rio de Janeiro - RJ
Opinion
We have audited the individual and consolidated financial statements of Vale S.A. (the Company), identified as Parent Company and Consolidated, respectively, which comprise the individual and consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, the statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes comprising significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
In our opinion, the aforementioned financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the individual and consolidated financial position of Vale S.A. as of December 31, 2016, and of its individual and consolidated financial performance and its individual and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the individual and consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with the ethical requirements of Ethics Standards Boards for Accountants and Professional Standard issued by Federal Accounting Council, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
1 Impairment Individual and consolidated financial statements
As per Notes 17,18 and 19 to the financial statements
Matter |
|
Procedures Performed |
|
|
|
The assessment with respect to the recoverability of property, plant and equipment (PP&E), intangible assets and goodwill, and definition of Cash-Generating Units (CGUs) encompasses significant judgments concerning factors related to the level of future production, commodities price, production cost and economic assumptions such as discount rates, inflation rates and exchange rates of the countries where the Company operates. Due to the materiality of PP&E, intangible assets and goodwill, and to the level of uncertainty for determining the related impairment, which may impact the value of those assets in the consolidated financial statements and the value of the investment recorded under the equity method pick-up in the parent companys financial statements, we considered this subject as a significant matter for the audit. |
|
Our procedures included, among others, the following ones:
· Design, implementation and operating effectiveness testing of the internal control on the valuation of the Companys assets, including those aimed at identifying the need for recording or reversing impairment;
· Assessment of the Companys assumptions and estimates to determine the recoverable value of its assets, including the ones related to production, production cost, capital investments, discount rates and exchange rates;
· Assessment of the definition and identification criteria for Cash-Generating Units (CGUs);
· Assessment, with the support of our specialists in economic and financial assumptions, of the cash flow forecast, reasonableness and consistency of the assumptions used in the preparation of the cash flow forecasts and comparison of those assumptions with market information. Based on our knowledge of the Company and Industry, preparation of sensitivity analysis;
· Arithmetic checking of the economic models regarding future cash flows and forecast results, combining them with accounting information and management reports and approved business plans; and
· Appropriateness assessment of the disclosure in relation to the testing of the value in use and the comparison of the latter with the fair value, net of costs to sell, in the applicable cases. |
2 Asset Retirement Obligation (ARO) Individual and consolidated financial statements
As per Notes 26 and 27 to the financial statements
Matter |
|
Procedures Performed |
|
|
|
As a result of its operations, the Company incurs in obligations to restore and rehabilitate the environment on retiring the areas. The areas and environment rehabilitation is required by the combination of both the legislation in force and the Companys policies. Estimating costs related to those future activities requires considerable judgement in relation to factors such as how long a certain area will be used, the time required to rehabilitate and certain economic assumptions such as the discount rate and foreign currency exchange rates. Due to the relevance of the asset retirement obligation and the level of uncertainty for the determination of its estimate, which may impact the amount of this provision in the consolidated financial statements and the amount of the investment recorded under the equity method pick-up in the financial statements of the parent company, We consider this subject as a significant matter for the audit |
|
Our procedures included, among others, the following ones:
· Design, implementation and operating effectiveness testing of the internal control related to the determination of estimates for the asset retirement obligation provision to restore and rehabilitate areas commercially exploited by the Company;
· Analysis of assumptions used, including the base cost of the areas to be left, inflation rates, discount rates and risk rates;
· Analysis of the provision movement for the year related to the retired, restored/rehabilitated areas, and the relevant environmental obligation, aiming at verifying the primary inputs such as costs, inflation and discount rates, as well as an approved retirement plan; and
· Appropriateness assessment of the disclosure in relation to the obligations to rehabilitate the environment on retiring the areas. |
3 Income taxes Individual and consolidated financial statements
As per Notes 8 to the financial statements.
Matter |
|
Procedures Performed |
|
|
|
The Company has operations in various countries, each one with its own taxation regime. The nature of the Companys activities triggers various tax liabilities, including tax on income, social contributions, royalties and taxes on revenue. The nature of the Companys commodities export operations also create complexities related to international transfer pricing issues. Applying tax legislation is a complex and highly specialized activity, which requires judgement for the assessment of tax exposure estimates and for quantification of contingent liabilities. Due to the level of uncertainty and judgment involved in determining this estimate that may impact the amount recorded in the consolidated financial statements and the amount of the investment recorded under the equity method pick-up in the parent companys financial statements, we consider this subject as a significant matter for the audit. |
|
Our procedures included, among others, the following ones:
· Design, implementation and operating effectiveness testing of the internal control related to the determination of estimates for recording the amounts of provisions for taxes payable and taxes to offset by the Company;
· With the help of our specialists from the tax department, we assess the criteria used for determining and paying taxes, and the assumptions used by the Company to determine the provisions and amounts disclosed as tax exposure and contingencies;
· We compare the assumptions used by the Company with the tax legislation applicable to each jurisdiction, and in relation to market practices and assessments performed by ourselves, based on our knowledge of and experience in the Companys operations in the use of the aforementioned legislation and on applicable precedents and sentences; and
· Assessment of the appropriateness of the Companys disclosures, particularly disclosures regarding current and deferred taxes and possible tax exposure. |
4 Provision for litigation and disclosure of contingent liabilities - Individual and consolidated financial statements
As per Note 28 to the financial statements
Matter |
|
Performed Procedures |
|
|
|
The Company is a party (as defendant) to various litigation of tax, civil and labor nature deriving from the ordinary course of its activities. The measurement, accounting recognition of a provision, and the disclosure of Provisions and Contingent Liabilities, related to the aforementioned litigation, require judgement from the Company´s professionals and from its legal advisors with respect to the integrity of the existing cases, the appropriateness of the provisions recorded and their corresponding disclosures. Due to the materiality, complexity and judgement involved in the assessment and measurement of the Provisions and Contingent Liabilities, which may impact the amount recorded in the consolidated financial statements and the amount of the investment recorded under the equity method pick-up in the financial statements of the parent company, we consider this subject as a significant matter for the audit. |
|
Our procedures included, among others, the following ones:
· Design, implementation and operating effectiveness testing of the internal control related to the determination of estimates for recording the amounts in accordance with the loss prognosis for the lawsuits;
· Assessment of the sufficiency of provisions recognized and contingency amounts disclosed, by means of analysis of criteria and assumptions used for measuring amounts recorded as provision and/or amounts disclosed, and took into account the assessments prepared by the Companys internal and external legal advisors, and comparison with the existing precedents;
· Assess the analysis of chances of loss regarding existing documentation and information related to the principal proceedings and complaints involving the Company through external confirmation of balances with external legal advisors;
· Assessment of the appropriateness of the Companys disclosures in relation to lawsuits provided for and those lawsuits with a possible loss prognosis. |
5 Financial Instruments Individual and consolidated financial statements
As per Note 23, 24 and 25 to the financial statements.
Matter |
|
Performed Procedures |
|
|
|
The Company contracts financial instruments which much be measured and assessed at their fair value - including derivative financial instruments, forward operations, swap operations, futures operations and zero cost-collars - as a strategy to hedge equity. Estimating the fair value of financial instruments not traded on active markets requires considerable judgement from the Company when determining prices or parameters and assumptions such as the classification of fair value hierarchy, discount rates for calculating present value, taking the existing market conditions into account as of the reporting date. Due to the materiality, complexity and judgement involved in assessing and measuring the financial instruments, whether derivative financial instruments or not, which may impact the amount recorded in the consolidated financial statements and the amount of the investment recorded under the equity method pick-up in the financial statements of the parent company, we consider this subject as a significant matter for the audit.
|
|
Our procedures included, among others, the following ones:
· Design, implementation and operating effectiveness testing of the internal control related to the process of identifying and valuing financial instruments;
· We tested the models developed by the Company, with the help of our specialists in financial instruments, to determine fair values and reasonableness of data, parameters and information included in the pricing models used, recalculated the amount of operations, and compared the assumptions used to determine fair values with similar operations performed in the marketplace; and
· Assessment of the appropriateness of the Companys disclosures, regarding sensitivity analyses, interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk, and the classification of instruments, among others. |
Other Information Statement of Added Value
The individual and consolidated statements of value added (DVA) for the year ended December 31, 2016, prepared under the responsibility of the Companys management, and presented as supplementary information for IFRS purposes, was submitted for the auditing procedures jointly with audit of the Companys financial statements. For the purposes of forming our opinion, we evaluate whether these statements are reconciled with the financial statements and accounting records, as applicable, and if their form and content are in accordance with the criteria as defined in Technical Pronouncement CPC 09 - Statement of Added Value. In our opinion, this statement of value added have been properly prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria defined in this Technical Pronouncement and is consistent with the individual and consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
Other information accompanying the individual and consolidated financial statements and the auditors report
Management is responsible for the other information, which comprises the Management report.
Our opinion on the individual and consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Management Report and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this Management Report, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report regarding this matter.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the individual and consolidated financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the individual and consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) , and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of individual and consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the individual and consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Companys ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Companys financial reporting process.
Auditors responsibilities for the audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the individual and consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these individual and consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
· Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the individual and consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
· Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control.
· Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
· Conclude on the appropriateness of managements use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors report to the related disclosures in the individual and consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
· Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the individual and consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
· Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the (consolidated) financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter, or, when in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Expressed in millions of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated
Vale S.A. (the Parent Company) is a public company headquartered at 700, Avenida das Américas, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with securities traded on the stock exchanges of São Paulo - BM&F BOVESPA (Vale3 and Vale5), New York - NYSE (VALE and VALE.P), Paris - NYSE Euronext (Vale3 and Vale5) and Madrid LATIBEX (XVALO and XVALP).
Vale and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (Vale, Group or Company) are global producers of iron ore and iron ore pellets, key raw materials for steelmaking, and producers of nickel, which is used to produce stainless steel and metal alloys employed in the production of several products. The Group also produces copper, metallurgical and thermal coal, potash, phosphates and other fertilizer nutrients, manganese ore, ferroalloys, platinum group metals, gold, silver and cobalt. The information by segment is presented in note 3.
2. Basis for preparation of the financial statements
a) Statement of compliance
The consolidated and individual financial statements of the Company (financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as implemented in Brazil by the Brazilian Accountant Pronouncements Committee (CPC), approved by the Brazilian Securities Exchange Commission (CVM) and by the Brazilian Federal Accounting Council (CFC). All relevant information from its own financial statements, and only this information, are being presented and correspond to those used by the Companys Management. The consolidated financial statements present the accounts of the Group.
b) Basis of presentation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as adjusted to reflect: (i) the fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value through income statement or available-for-sale financial instruments measured at fair value through the statement of comprehensive income; and (ii) impairment of assets.
The comparative information for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was re-presented for the purposes of applying IFRS 5 Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations after approval by the Board of Directors of the sale of the fertilizers assets, as presented in Note 14.
Subsequent events were evaluated through February 22, 2017, which is the date the financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors.
c) Consolidation and investments
The financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities and transactions of the Parent Company and its direct and indirect controlled entities (subsidiaries). Intercompany balances and transactions, which include unrealized profits, are eliminated. Subsidiaries over which control is achieved through other means, such as stockholders agreement, are also consolidated even if the Company does not own a majority of the voting capital.
The entities over which the Company has joint control (joint ventures) or significant influence, but not control (associates) are presented in note 15. Those investments are accounted for using the equity method. For interests in joint arrangements not classified as joint ventures (joint operations), the Company recognizes its share of assets, liabilities and net income.
Unrealized gains on downstream or upstream transactions between the Company and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated fully or proportionately to the Companys interest.
The material consolidated entities in each business segment of are as follows:
|
|

|
Principal activity/Business |
|

|
% Voting capital |
|
% Noncontrolling |

d) Functional currency and presentation currency
The financial statements of the Group and its associates and joint ventures are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (functional currency), which in the case of the Parent Company is the Brazilian real (BRL or R$). For presentation purposes, these financial statements are presented in Brazilian Reais.
Operations in other currencies are translated into the functional currency using the actual exchange rates in force on the respective transactions dates. The foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the translation at the exchange rates in force at the end of the year are recognized in the income statement as financial expense or income. The exceptions are transactions for which gains and losses are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.
The income statement and balance sheet of the Groups entities which functional currency is different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: (i) assets, liabilities and stockholders equity (except components described in item (iii)) are translated at the closing rate at the balance sheet date; (ii) income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates, except for specific transactions that, considering their significance, are translated at the rate at the transaction date and; (iii) capital, capital reserves and treasury stock are translated at the rate at the date of each transaction. All resulting exchange differences are recognized in the comprehensive income as cumulative translation adjustment, and transferred to the income statement when the operations are realized.
The exchange rates used by the Group for major currencies to translate its operations are as follows:

e) Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies applied in financial statements are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the financial statements of prior years. The Company has not early adopted any standards and interpretations that have been issued or amended but which are not yet in force. The accounting policies of subsidiaries, affiliates and joint ventures are adjusted to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by Vale.
Significant and relevant accounting policies for the understanding of the financial statements were included in the respective notes, with a summary of the recognition and measurement basis used by the Company.
The brief description of the recent accounting pronouncements issued by the IASB, which are not yet in force, and the current assessment did by the Company of the impacts on its financial statements, subject to changes due to the more analyzes in progress, are detailed below:
IFRS 9 Financial instrument In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments that replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. This standard brings new approaches about: (i) classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities, (ii) impairment and (iii) hedge accounting. This standard shall apply for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.
The Company does not plan the early adoption of this new standard. Based on the history of financial instruments traded by the Company, it is not expected significant impacts on financial statements by applying the IFRS 9 requirements.
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15, which replaces IAS 18 Revenues and the related interpretations. IFRS 15 introduces the five-step model for revenue recognition from contract with a customer. The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognized when the control of a good or service to be transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This standard shall apply for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.
The Company plans to adopt the new standard on the required effective date using the full retrospective method with the practical expedients approach for concluded contracts. During 2016, the Company performed a preliminary assessment of IFRS 15, which is subject to changes arising from a more detailed analysis of the contracts that are in process. Based on these preliminary analyzes, management is evaluating whether the freight service should be considered a separate performance obligation or not.
The Company expects to disclose quantitative information, if any, prior to the adoption of the standard.
IFRS 16 Lease In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, which replaces IAS 17 Leases and related interpretations. The IFRS 16 set forth that in all leases with a maturity of more than 12 months, with limited exceptions, the lessee must recognize the lease liability in the balance sheet at the present value of the payments, plus costs directly allocated and at the same time that it recognizes a right of use corresponding to the asset. During the term of the lease, the lease liability is adjusted to reflect interest and payment made and the right to use is amortized, similar to the financial lease settled up in accordance with IAS 17. This standard shall apply for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.
The Company has not yet quantified the impact of adopting IFRS 16 on its assets and liabilities. The quantitative effect of the adoption of IFRS 16 will depend specifically on the Company´s decision related to the method of transition, the use of practical expedients approach and exemptions for recognition, and any additional leases that Company will hold. The Company expects to disclose its transition approach and quantitative information prior to adoption, planned for January 1, 2019.
IAS 7 Amendments (Disclosure Initiative) The amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows are part of the IASBs Disclosure Initiative and require an entity to provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate cash flows and non-cash changes in liabilities arising from financing activities. On initial application of the amendment, entities are not required to provide comparative information for preceding periods. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017, with early application permitted. Application of the amendments will result in additional disclosures provided by the Group. The Company did not early adopt this amendment.
f) Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments by the management of the Company. These estimates are based on the best knowledge and information existing at the balance sheet date. Changes in facts and circumstances may lead to the revision of these estimates. Actual future results may differ from the estimates.
The significant estimates, assumptions and judgments used by Company in these financial statements are as follows:

Accounting policy
Revenue is recognized when Vale transfers to its customers all of the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the product sold or when the services are rendered. Net revenue excludes any applicable sales taxes and is recognized at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable to the extent that it is probable that economic benefits will flow to Vale and the revenues can be reliably measured.
Depending on the contract, sales can be recognized when the product is available at the loading port, loaded on the ship, at the port of discharge or on the costumer warehouse. Service revenues are recognized in the amount by which the services are rendered and accepted by the customer.
In some cases, the sale price is determined on a provisional basis at the date of sale and adjustments to the sales price subsequently occur based on movements in quoted market or contractual prices up to the date of final pricing. Revenue is recognized based on the estimated fair value of the total consideration receivable, and the provisionally priced sales mechanism embedded within these sale arrangements is characterized a derivative. Therefore, the fair value of the final sales price adjustment is re-estimated continuously and changes in fair value are recognized as operational revenue in the income statement. As of December 31, 2016, R$1,344 of revenues (2015: R$(1,070)) were still not settled and were provisionally measured based on iron ore fines and copper forward prices.
Amounts billed to customers for shipping related to products sold by the Company are recognized as revenue when the Company is responsible for shipping. Shipping costs are recognized as operating costs.
4. Special events occurred during the year
The special events occurred during the year are those that, in the Companys judgment, significantly impacted the income statement due to their size and nature. To determine whether an event or transaction is non-recurring, the Company considers quantitative and qualitative factors, such as frequency and impact on the result of the year.
The special events identified by the Company are as follows:

As from January 1, 2017 (subsequent event), the Company starts to apply net investment hedge accounting in foreign operation considering Vale International S.A. and Vale International Holding GmbH investments as the hedging objects and designated as hedging instruments the Parent Company third party loans and borrowings (excluding interest) in different currencies denominated in US dollar and euro, amounting to US$8,067 (R$26,291) and EUR1,500 (R$5,159) as the hedging instrument, respectively.
Accordingly, the Company plans to mitigate part of its foreign exchange risk, since foreign exchange gains or losses on the hedging instrument (effective portion) will be recognized in other comprehensive income, thus offsetting same of the gains and losses generated from translating of the net investments in the aforementioned controlled companies. If the hedge relationship is not considered effective, the hedging instruments exchange variations will be allocated to income statement for the year.
7. Deferred revenue - Gold stream transaction
In 2013, the Company entered into a gold transaction with Silver Wheaton Corp. (SLW) to sell 25% of the gold extracted as a by-product over the life of the Salobo copper mine and 70% of the gold extracted as a by-product of Sudbury nickel mines over the next 17 years. The Company received an up-front cash proceeds of R$4,060 (US$1,900).
The original transaction was amended in March 2015 and August 2016 to include in each contract an additional 25% of the gold extracted as by-product over a lifetime of the Salobo copper mine. In the first additive, the Company received up-front proceeds of R$2,826 (US$900) and in the second additive, (i) an initial cash payment of R$2,568 (US$800) and (ii) an option value resulting from the reduction of the exercise price from R$211.00 (US$65.00) to R$142.00 (US$43.75) on 10 million warrants from SLW held by the Company since 2013 and maturing in 2023.
Hence, in December 31, 2016 SLW holds the rights to 75% of the contained gold in the copper concentrated from the Salobo mine and 70% of the gold extracted as a by-product of the Sudbury nickel mines.
As the gold is delivered to SLW, Vale receives payment equal to the lesser of: (i) US$400 per ounce of refined gold delivered (which payments are subject to an annual increase of 1% per year commencing on January 1, 2017 for the original and additional transactions and each subsequent year and (ii) the market reference price on the delivery date.
Vale may also receive an additional cash payment contingent on its decision to expand its capacity to process Salobo copper ores to more than 28 Mtpy before 2036. Salobo that were still in ramp-up until September 2016 will have a total capacity to process 24 Mtpy of run-of-mine (ROM). The contingent additional cash payment could range from US$113 to US$953 depending on ore grade, timing and size of the expansion.
The transactions were bifurcated into two identifiable components (i) the sale of the mineral rights and, (ii) the services for gold extraction on the portion in which Vale operates as an agent for SLW gold extraction.
The deferred revenue is recognized based on the units of gold mined compared to the total proven and probable reserves of gold traded with SLW. During the year ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized R$717, R$361 and R$151, respectively, in the statement of income relating to services rendered in the original and additional transactions.
The result on sale of mineral rights from the additional transactions of R$480 and R$722 was recognized in the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, under Other operating expenses, net.
Critical accounting estimates and judgments
Defining the gain on sale of mineral interest and the deferred revenue portion of the transaction requires the use of critical accounting estimates as follows:
· Discount rates used to measure the present value of future inflows and outflows;
· Allocation of costs between nickel or copper and gold based on relative prices;
· Expected margin for the independent elements (sale of mineral rights and service for gold extraction) based on Companys best estimate.

Law 12.973 - The Brazilian corporate tax law was amended at the end of 2014 and became effective as from fiscal year 2015. The change provided that profits from foreign subsidiaries are taxable in Brazil, on an accrual basis, applying the differential between the nominal local tax rate and the Brazilian tax rates (34%) considering the profit before tax in local GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) and local currency. Accordingly, from January 1st, 2015 the results from foreign subsidiaries are recognized on that basis.
In accordance with article 77 of law 12.973, the losses generated by the foreign subsidiaries, before income taxes and the equity results, may be offset against their future profits, subject to certain conditions.
In 2015, in the first adoption, the Company recognized deferred income tax assets related to accumulated losses of subsidiaries abroad in the amount of R$11,729.
The Company projections shows deferred tax assets substantially being realized in the next five years.
The tax loss carryforward do not expire and in the Brazilian jurisdiction the compensation is limited to 30% of the taxable income for the year. For local results there is no restriction to compensated profits from foreign subsidiaries against previously recorded deferred tax assets.

c) Tax incentives
In Brazil, Vale has tax incentives to partially reduce the income tax generated by the operations conducted in the North and Northeast regions which includes iron ore, copper, and nickel. The incentive is calculated based on the taxable income of the incentive activity (tax operating income) and takes into account the allocation of tax operating income into different incentives applicable to different tranches of production during the periods specified for each product, generally 10 years. Most of our incentives are expected to expire up to 2024. An amount equal to that obtained with the tax saving must be appropriated in retained earnings reserve account in stockholders equity, and cannot be distributed as dividends to stockholders.
In addition to those incentives, 30% of the income tax due based on the tax operating income can be reinvested on the purchase of machinery and equipment, subject to subsequent approval by the regulatory agency responsible, Superintendência do Desenvolvimento da Amazonia (SUDAM) and the Superintendência do Desenvolvimento do Nordeste (SUDENE). The reinvestment is accounted in retained earnings reserve account, which restricts the distribution as dividends to stockholders.
Vale is subject to the revision of income tax by local tax authorities in a range up to 10 years depending on jurisdiction where we operate.
d) Income taxes - Settlement program (REFIS)
In 2013, the Company elected to participate in the REFIS, a federal tax settlement program, to settle most of the claims related to the collection of income tax and social contribution on equity gains of foreign subsidiaries and affiliates from 2003 to 2012.
At December 31, 2016, the balance of R$17,662 (R$1,492 as current and R$16,170 as non-current) is due in 142 remaining monthly installments, bearing interest at the SELIC rate (Special System for Settlement and Custody) and at December 31, 2015, the balance of R$17,301 (R$1,348 as current and R$15,953 as non-current) was due in 154 remaining monthly installments.
Accounting policy
The recognition of income taxes as deferred taxes is based on temporary differences between carrying value and the tax basis of assets and liabilities as well as taxes losses carryforwards. The deferred income taxes assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right on the same taxable entity.
The deferred taxes assets arising from taxes losses and temporary differences are not recognized when their recovery amount are not probable.
Income taxes are recognized in the income statement, except for items recognized directly in stockholders equity. The provision for income tax is calculated individually for each entity in the Group based on Brazilian tax rates, on an accrual basis, by applying the differential between the nominal local tax rates (based on rules in force in the location of the entity) and the Brazilian tax rate.
Critical accounting estimates and judgments
Deferred tax assets arising from tax losses, negative social contribution basis and temporary differences are registered taking into account the analysis of future performance, considering economic and financial projections, prepared based on internal assumptions and macroeconomic, trade and tax scenarios that may be subject to changes in the future. The assumptions of future profits are based on production and sales planning, commodity prices, operational costs, restructuring plans, reclamation and planned capital costs.

Accounting policy
Account receivables are financial instruments classified in the category loan and receivables and represent the total amount due from sale of products and services rendered by the Company. The receivables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost, net of impairment losses, when applicable.
Commercial credit risk management - For the commercial credit exposure, which arises from sales to final customers, the risk management area, in accordance with the current delegation level, approves or request the approval of credit risk limits for each counterparty.
Vale attributes an internal credit risk rating for each counterparty using its own quantitative methodology for credit risk analysis, which is based on market prices, external credit ratings and financial information of the counterparty, as well as qualitative information regarding the counterpartys strategic position and history of commercial relations.
Based on the counterpartys credit risk, risk mitigation strategies may be used to manage the Company`s credit risk. The main credit risk mitigation strategies include non-recourse discount of receivables, insurance instruments, letters of credit, corporate and bank guarantees, mortgages, among others.
Vale has a diversified accounts receivable portfolio from a geographical standpoint, with Asia, Europe and Brazil the regions with more significant exposures. According to each region, different guarantees can be used to enhance the credit quality of the receivables.

(i) Include the nitrogen assets (R$1,265) and not include the noncontrolling interest (R$765 note 16).
a) Discontinued operations (Fertilizers assets)
In December 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with The Mosaic Company (Mosaic) to sell (i) the phosphate assets located in Brazil, except those mainly related to nitrogen assets located in Cubatão (Brazil); (ii) the control of Compañia Minera Miski Mayo S.A.C., in Peru; (iii) the potassium assets located in Brazil; and (iv) the potash projects in Canada.
The agreed transaction price is R$8,148 (US$2.5 billion), of which R$4,074 (US$1.25 billion) will be paid in cash and R$4,074 (US$1.25 billion) with 42.3 million common shares to be issued by Mosaic, which at the transaction date represents around 11% of Mosaics total outstanding common shares. Completion of the transaction is expected for the end of 2017 and is subject to the spin-off of the nitrogen assets from Vale Fertilizantes S.A.; the fulfillment of usual precedent conditions, including the approval of the Administrative Council of Economic Defense (CADE) and other antitrust authorities; and other operational and regulatory matters.
Vale may receive additional earn-out of the transaction up to R$847 (US$260) in circumstances where the phosphate price (MAP Monoammonium Phosphate) and the Real exchange rate exceed certain levels during each of the twelve months periods after the completion of the transaction during two years.
The assets located in Cubatão, which are mostly dedicated to the operation with nitrogen, will be transferred from Vale Fertilizantes S.A. to an independent legal entity, for which the Company is actively seeking to identify potential buyers.
Therefore, the fertilizer segment, including Cubatão, is presented as a discontinued operation and the related assets and liabilities were classified as assets and liabilities held for sale, as established by IFRS 5.
As consequence, the net assets of the fertilizers segment was adjusted to reflect the fair value less cost to sell and a loss of R$5,899 (R$3,893 net of tax) was recognized in the income statement from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2016.
At the completion of the transaction, the Company will recycle R$245 of the Cumulative translation adjustments to the income statement. For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 the comprehensive income attributable to Vales stockholders regarding discontinued operations was a loss of R$458, a gain of R$355 and a loss of R$22, respectively.
The results for the years and the cash flows of discontinued operations of the Fertilizer segment are presented as follows:

b) Coal - Nacala logistic corridor (Nacala)
In December 2014, the Company signed an agreement with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (Mitsui) to sell 50% of its stake in the Nacala corridor and 15% of Vale´s stake in Vale Moçambique which holds the coal assets. After completion of the transaction, Vale will indirectly own 81% of the Moatize mine (Vale Moçambique) and approximately 50% of Nacala Corridor. Since Nacala will be jointly controlled by Vale and Mitsui the related assets and liabilities were classified as non-current assets held for sale with no impact in the income statement.
In September 2016, the Company reviewed the terms related to this transaction, in which Mitsui agreed to contribute up to R$1,467 (US$450), being: (i) R$831 (US$255) for a 15% of Vales stake in the Moatize coal mine; and (ii) an additional contribution of up to R$636 (US$195) based on meeting certain conditions, including mine performance. Mitsui will also contribute R$1,134 (US$348) for a 50% stake in the equity and quasi-equity instruments of the Nacala and extend a long-term facility of R$538 (US$165).
As at December 2016, completion of the transaction remains subject to successful completion of the Project Finance and certain government approvals which are expected to occur in 2017.
c) Shipping assets
In June 2016, Vale approved a plan to dispose of its fleet of eleven ships. As a consequence, the referenced assets were reclassified to non-current assets held for sale and a loss of R$228 was recorded in the income statement as Results on measurement or sale of non-current assets.
In the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company concluded the sale of three Very Large Ore Carriers (VLOCs) for R$863 and four Capesize vessels for R$470. There are four vessels that are still held for sale as at December 31, 2016.
Accounting policy
A non-current asset is classified as held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use.
The criteria for recognition the non-current assets as held for sale are only considered satisfied when the sale is highly probable and the asset (or disposal group of assets) is available for immediate sale in its present condition. The Company measures the assets held for sale (or group of assets) at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value less costs to sell an impairment loss is recognized against income. Any subsequent reversal of impairment is recognized only to the extent of the loss previously recognized.
The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately in the statement of financial position.
The classification as a discontinued operation occurs through disposal, or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale if this occurs earlier. A discontinued operation is a component of a Group business comprising cash flows and operations that may be clearly distinct from the rest of the Group and that represents an important separate line of business or geographical area of operations.
The result of discontinued operations is presented in a single amount in the income statement, including the results after income tax of these operations less any impairment loss. Cash flows attributable to operating, investing and financing activities of discontinued operations are described in a separate note.
When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the income statements of the prior periods are re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued since the beginning of the comparative period.
Any non-controlling interest relating to disposal group will be presented in the stockholders equity not being reclassified as a held for sale.

Accounting policy
Joint arrangements investments - Joint arrangements are all entities over which the Group has shared control with one or more parties. Joint arrangement investments are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor.
The joint operations are recorded in the financial statements to represent the Groups contractual rights and obligations. Accordingly, any jointly held assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are accounted for individually in the financial statements. The Company does not have material joint operations.
Interests in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method, after initially being recognized at cost in the consolidated balance sheet. The Groups investment in joint ventures includes the goodwill identified in the acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment loss.
The Groups interest in the profits or losses of its joint ventures is recognized in the income statement and participation in the changes in reserves is recognized in the Groups reserves. When the Groups interest in the losses of an associate or joint venture is equal to or greater than the carrying amount of the investment, including any other receivables, the Group does not recognize additional losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint venture.
d) Commitments and guarantees
The commitments and guarantees issued the affiliates and joint ventures are presented in note 32.
a) Summarized financial information
The summarized financial information, prior to the eliminations of the intercompany balances and transactions, about subsidiaries with material noncontrolling interest are as follows:

(i) Includes capitalized borrowing costs, see cash flow.
The net book value of consolidated property, plant and equipment pledged to secure judicial claims on December 31, 2016 and 2015 were R$113 and R$174, respectively. For the parent company at December 31, 2016 and 2015 corresponds to R$107 and R$173, respectively.
Accounting policy
Property, plant and equipment are evaluated at the cost of acquisition or construction, net of amortization and impairment.
Mineral properties developed internally are determined by (i) direct and indirect costs attributed to build the mine site and plant, (ii) financial charges incurred during the construction period, (iii) depreciation of other fixed assets used during construction, (iv) estimated decommissioning and site restoration expenses, and (v) other capitalized expenditures occurred during the development phase (phase when the project demonstrates its economic benefit to the Company, and the Company has ability and intention to complete the project).
The depletion of mineral properties is determined based on the ratio between production and total proven and probable mineral reserves.
Property, plant and equipment, other than mineral properties are depreciated using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives, from the date on which the assets become available for their intended use and are capitalized, except for land which is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives are as follows:
|
|
Useful life |
|
Buildings |
|
15 to 50 years |
|
Facilities |
|
3 to 50 years |
|
Equipment |
|
3 to 40 years |
|
Others: |
|
|
|
Locomotives |
|
12 to 25 years |
|
Wagon |
|
30 to 44 years |
|
Railway equipment |
|
5 to 33 years |
|
Ships |
|
20 years |
|
Others |
|
2 to 50 years |
|
The residual values and useful lives of assets are reviewed at the end of each fiscal year and adjusted if necessary.
a) Mineral reserves
Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The estimates of proven and probable reserves are regularly evaluated and updated. These reserves are determined using generally accepted geological estimates. The calculation of reserves requires the Company to take positions on expected future conditions that are uncertain, including future ore prices, exchange rates, inflation rates, mining technology, availability of permits and production costs. Changes in some of these assumptions could have a significant impact on the proven and probable reserves of the Company.
The estimated volume of mineral reserves is used as basis for the calculation of depletion of the mineral properties, and also for the estimated useful life which is a major factor to quantify the provision for asset retirement obligation, environmental recovery of mines and impairment of long lived asset. Any changes to the estimates of the volume of mine reserves and the useful lives of assets may have a significant impact on the depreciation, depletion and amortization charges and assessments of impairment.
b) Expenditures and stripping costs
(i) Exploration and evaluation expenditures - Expenditures on mining research are accounted for as operating expenses until the effective proof of economic feasibility and commercial viability of a given field can be demonstrated. From then on, the expenditures incurred are capitalized as mineral properties.
(ii) Expenditures on feasibility studies, new technologies and others research - The Company also conducts feasibility studies for many businesses which it operates including researching new technologies to optimize the mining process. After these costs are proven to generate future benefits to the Company, the expenditures incurred are capitalized.
(iii) Maintenance costs - Significant industrial maintenance costs, including spare parts, assembly services, and others, are recorded in property, plant and equipment and depreciated through the next programmed maintenance overhaul.
(iv) Stripping Costs - The cost associated with the removal of overburden and other waste materials (stripping costs) incurred during the development of mines, before production takes place, are capitalized as part of the depreciable cost of the mineral properties. These costs are subsequently amortized over the useful life of the mine.
Post-production stripping costs are included in the cost of inventory, except when a new project is developed to permit access to a significant ore deposits. In such cases, the cost is capitalized as a non-current asset and is amortized during the extraction of the ore deposits, over the useful life of the ore deposits.
Stripping costs are measured at fixed and variable costs directly and indirectly attributable to its removal and, when applicable, net of any impairment losses measured in the same basis adopted for the cash generating unit of which it belongs.

a) Impairment of non-financial assets
The assets, where a trigger of impairment was identified, were tested using fair value less costs of disposal (FVLCS) model, except for the pelletizing plant that the value in use (VIU) model was applied. The FVLCS for each Cash Generating Units (CGU) was assessed considering Level 3 fair value measurements, as it is derived from valuation techniques that includes inputs that are not based on observable market data.
These cash flows were discounted using a post-tax discount rate ranging from 6% to 10%. The discount rate was based on the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) that reflected the risks specific to the CGU.
Iron ore and pellets During 2016, based on new market circumstances, the Company decided to resume Norte´s system pelletizing plant, based on the studies carried out by management that demonstrates its economic feasibility. Accordingly, the Company reversed the full impairments of R$536 recorded in 2013 and 2015.
Of the total goodwill (note 17), R$4,060 is allocated to the group of ferrous mineral CGUs. The impairment analyses based on FVLCS model indicated that CGUs recoverable amount exceeds its carrying value; therefore, no impairment was recognized in the financial statements.
In 2015, the Company recognized an impairment loss of R$2,023 due to lack of competitiveness in the Midwest system as a consequence of a complex logistic system associated with a consistent decline in iron ore prices. Accordingly, long-lived assets were fully impaired.
In 2014, for the Simandou project, Vale recognized an impairment of R$2,793 related to the revocation of Vales former 51%-owned subsidiary VBG-Vale BSGR Limited (VBG) mining concessions in Guinea. During the first quarter of 2015, the investment was sold.
Coal The Coal assets in Australia were impacted mainly by the revision of the future mining plans, which resulted in an impairment loss of R$91 in 2016 (R$2,460 in 2015). The impairment of R$787 registered in 2014 relates to Integra and Isaac Plans operations which were sold during the fourth quarter of 2015.
In relation to the coal assets in Mozambique, Vale recognized an impairment loss of R$9,302 in 2015 due to the reduction in estimated future coal prices combined with the increase of logistics costs, which decreased the estimated net recoverable amount of these assets. During 2016, no trigger event was identified for the purpose of impairment reassessing or any additional event or circumstance has changed that would indicate that the impairment recognized in 2015 is no longer applicable.
Nickel - The decrease in long term nickel price projections, that significantly reduced the recoverable values of the VNL and VNC CGUs, combined with significant capital investments in new processing facilities in recent years, resulted in an impairment loss in the amount of R$2,112 and R$952 (R$13,394 and R$5,660) in 2016 and 2015 year end, respectively.
The assumption of nickel prices used in the FVLCS calculation for the nickel CGUs is in a range (US$ per ton) from 10,500 to 20,000 (13,000 to 20,000 in 2015). Cash flows used are designed based on the life of each CGU and considering a discount rate ranging from 6% to 8% per year.
Of the total goodwill (note 17), R$5,981 is allocated to the group of nickel CGUs. The impairment analyses based on FVLCS model demonstrates that nickel CGUs recoverable amount exceeds its carrying value; therefore no impairment was recognized in the financial statements.
In 2014, the Company identified that the indicators which caused an impairment to be recognized in previous years for Onça Puma were no longer applicable. This was mainly due to Onça Pumas production resuming to normal capacity after the furnace problems in 2012. The total impairment registered in 2012 was reversed in 2014 and 2015.
b) Onerous contract
The provision recognized in 2016, R$611 is related to the contracts with minimum guaranteed volume for port structure in the Midwest system and R$250 for supply of manganese ore.
In 2015, the Company recognized a provision related to the fluvial transportation contract with minimal guarantee volume in the amount of R$1,382 also in the Midwest system.
c) Impairment of investments in associates and joint ventures
In 2015, the Company recognized an impairment of R$510 in its investment in Samarco (note 21) and R$1,217 in Teal Minerals Inc. (Teal). Teal recognized an impairment of property, plant and equipment due to the revision of future mining plans and the decrease of the copper price.
Accounting policy
Impairment of non-Financial assets - Non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount might not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset´s carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an assets fair value less costs of disposal (FVLCS) and value in use (VIU).
FVLCS is generally determined as the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continued use of the asset, including any expansion prospects, and its eventual disposal. VIU model is determined as the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continued use of the asset in its present form. Value in use is determined by applying assumptions specific to the Groups continued use and cannot take into account future development. These assumptions are different to those used in calculating fair value and consequently the VIU calculation is likely to give a different result to a FVLCS calculation.
The future cash flows are based on the current life-of-mine plan or long-term production plan for the cash-generating unit.
Assets that have an indefinite useful life and are not subject to amortization, such as goodwill, are tested annually for impairment.
For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (Cash Generating Units (CGUs)). Goodwill is allocated to Cash Generating Units or Cash Generating Units groups that are expected to benefit from the business combinations in which the goodwill arose and are identified in accordance with the operating segment.
Non-current assets (excluding goodwill) in which the Company recognized impairment in the past are reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the impairment may no longer be applicable. In such cases, an impairment reversal will be recognized.
Onerous Contracts - For onerous contracts, provision is recognized for the present value of certain long-term contracts where the unavoidable cost of meeting the Companys obligations exceed the economic benefits to be receive under it.
Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The Company determines its cash flows based on the budgets approved by management, which require the use of the following key assumptions: (i) mineral reserves and mineral resources measured by internal experts; (ii) costs and investments based on the best estimate of projects as supported by past performance; (iii) sale prices consistent with projections available in reports published by industry considering the market price when appropriate; (iv) the life of each cash-generating unit (ratio between production and mineral reserves); and (v) discount rates that reflect specific risks relating to the relevant assets in each cash-generating unit. These assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty; hence there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will change these projections, which may impact the recoverable amount of the assets.
20. Loans, borrowings and cash and cash equivalents
a) Net debt
The Company evaluates the net debt with the objective of ensuring the continuity of its business in the long term, being able to generate value to its stockholders, through the payment of dividends and capital gain.

(i) Memorandum of understanding signature date, however term is considered from the signature date of each contract amendment. This credit line supported or supports the pelletizing plant VIII, Onça Puma, Salobo I and II and capital expenditure of Itabira projects.
Liquidity risk - To mitigate such risk, Vale has a revolving credit facilities to assist the short term liquidity management and to enable more efficiency in cash management, being consistent with the strategic focus on cost of capital reduction. The revolving credit facilities available today were acquired from a syndicate of several global commercial banks.
iii) Funding
In January 2016, the Company drew down part of its revolving credit facilities which were fully amortized in November 2016. There was no outstanding debt on this lines at December 31, 2016.
In June and August 2016, the Company issued through its wholly owned subsidiary Vale Overseas Limited the guaranteed notes due 2021 and 2026 totaling R$7,333 (US$2,250). These notes bear a coupon of 5.875% and 6.250% per year, respectively, payable semi-annually, and were sold at a price of 100.000% of the principal amount.
In February 2017 (subsequent event), the Company issued through Vale Overseas Limited guaranteed notes due August 2026 totaling R$3,259 (US$1,000). The notes bears 6.250% coupon per year, payable semi-annually, and were sold at a price of 107.793% of the principal amount. The notes will be consolidated with, and form a single series with, Vale Overseass R$3,259 (US$1,000) 6.250% notes due 2026 issued on August, 2016, mentioned above. Vale intends to apply the net proceeds from the offering on the earlier redemption of Vales EUR750 notes (due in March 2018), which is expected to occur during March 2017.
iv) Guarantees
As at December 31, 2016 and 2015, loans and borrowings are secured by property, plant and equipment and receivables in the amount of R$1,538 and R$1,937, respectively.
The securities issued through Vales 100%-owned finance subsidiary Vale Overseas Limited are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Vale.
v) Covenants
Some of the Companys debt agreements with lenders contain financial covenants. The main covenants in those agreements require maintaining certain ratios, such as debt to EBITDA (Earnings before Interest Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) and interest coverage. The Company has not identified any instances of noncompliance as at December 31, 2016 and 2015.
Accounting policy
Loans and borrowings are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred and are subsequently carried at amortized cost and updated using the effective interest rate method. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the Income statement over the period of the loan, using the effective interest rate method. The fees paid in obtaining the loan are recognized as transaction costs.
Loans and borrowing costs are capitalized as part of property, plants and equipment if those costs are directly related to a qualified asset. The capitalization occurs until the qualified asset is ready for its intended use. The average capitalization rate is 37%. Borrowing costs that are not capitalized are recognized in the income statement in the period in which they are incurred.
21. Liabilities related to associates and joint ventures
Refers to the provision to comply with the obligations under the agreement related to the dam failure of Samarco Mineração S.A. (Samarco), which is a Brazilian joint venture between Vale S.A. and BHP Billiton Brasil Ltda. (BHPB), as follows:
a) Framework agreement
Samarco and its shareholders, Vale S.A. and BHPB, entered into an Agreement (Framework Agreement) in connection with the R$20.2 billion lawsuit on March 2, 2016 with the Brazilian federal government, the two Brazilian states affected by the failure (Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais) and other governmental authorities in order to implement the programs for remediation and compensation of the areas and communities affected by Samarcos dam (Fundão) failure.
The Framework Agreement does not contemplate admission of civil, criminal or administrative liability for the Fundão dam failure.
The Framework Agreement has a 15-year term, renewable for successive one-year periods until all the obligations under the Framework Agreement have been performed.
Under the Framework Agreement, Samarco, Vale S.A. and BHPB have agreed to establish a foundation to develop and implement social and economic remediation and compensation, to be funded by Samarco as follows: R$2.0 billion in 2016, R$1.2 billion in 2017 and R$1.2 billion in 2018. From 2019 to 2021, annual contributions to the foundation will range from R$800 to R$1.6 billion based on the projects approved for the relevant year. From 2022 onwards, the annual contributions will be determined on the basis of the amount of funding necessary to complete remaining programs approved for each relevant year. The foundation will allocate an annual amount of R$240 over 15 years to the implementation of compensation programs, and these annual amounts are included in the annual contributions described above for the first six years. Through the end of 2018, Samarco is expected to provide R$500 for sewage collection and treatment and solid waste disposal under the terms of the Framework Agreement.
To the extent that Samarco does not meet its funding obligations to the foundation, each of Vale S.A. and BHPB will provide, under the terms of the Framework Agreement, funds to the Foundation in proportion to its 50% equity interest in Samarco.
On June 24, 2016, the Renova Foundation (Foundation) was constituted, under the Framework Agreement, to develop and implement the socio-economic restoration and compensation programs. The Foundation began its operations in August of 2016.
As the consequence of the dam failure, governmental authorities ordered the suspension of Samarcos operations.
b) Estimates used for the provision
Samarco initially expected to resume its operations in the last quarter of 2016. Based on this assumption, Samarco´s cash flow projections indicated that it would be able to generate all or a substantial part of the funding required under the Framework Agreement. This assumption was supported by studies of appropriate technical solutions for the resumption of operations, as well as the progress of the work on the remaining dam structures after the failure and the implementation of the socio-economic and socio-environmental programs contemplated in the Framework Agreement.
In light of the stage of procedures necessary to resume operations and the uncertainties related to the licensing approval by governmental authorities during 2016, Samarco revised its assumption and concluded that was unable to make a reliable estimate of how and when its operations will resume.
Due to the above, as well as additional uncertainties regarding Samarcos cash flow, Vale S.A. recognized a provision on its interim financial statements as of June 30, 2016, for estimated costs in the amount of R$5,560 which was discounted at a risk-free rate, resulting in R$3,733 provision, which represents Vale S.A.s best estimate of the obligation to comply with the reparation and compensation programs under the Framework Agreement, equivalent to its 50% equity interest in Samarco.
In August, 2016, Samarco issued non-convertible private debentures which were subscribed equally by Vale S.A. and BHPB, and the resources contributed by Vale S.A. were allocated as follows: (i) R$222 was used by Samarco in the reparation programs in accordance with the Framework Agreement, and therefore, applied against the provision of R$3,733 mentioned above; and (ii) R$234 was applied by Samarco´s to fund its working capital, and recognized in Vales income statement as Impairment and other results in associates and joint ventures. Vale S.A. intends to make available short-term facilities in the first half of 2017 of up to R$375 to Samarco to support its operations, without undertaking an obligation to Samarco. Funds for working capital requirements will be released as needed by the shareholders subject to achieving certain milestones.
As a result of constituting the Foundation, most of the reparation and compensation programs were transferred from Samarco.
Therefore, Vale S.A. made contributions to the Foundation totaling R$ 239 to be used in the programs in accordance with the Framework Agreement.
As a result of the above mentioned, the movements of the provision during the year are as follows:

At each reporting period, Vale S.A. will reassess the key assumptions used by Samarco in the preparation of the projected future cash flows and will adjust the provision, if required.
c) Relevant information of Samarco
Samarco is a Brazilian entity jointly controlled by Vale S.A. and BHPB, in which each shareholder has a 50% ownership interest.
Samarco operates an integrated enterprise consisting of mining, beneficiation and concentration of low-grade iron ore in the municipality of Mariana, in the State of Minas Gerais, as well as the hauling of such concentrated ore through ore pipelines connecting the its two operating plants located in Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo.
On November 5, 2015, Samarco experienced the failure of an iron ore tailings dam (Fundão) in the state of Minas Gerais, which affected communities and ecosystems, including the Rio Doce river. Following the dam failure, the state government of Minas Gerais ordered the suspension of Samarcos operations.

Under Brazilian legislation and the terms of the joint venture agreement, Vale does not have an obligation to provide funding to Samarco. As a result, Vales investment in Samarco was reduced to zero.
Since the initial date of the accident, Samarco and its shareholders disbursed the total amount of R$2.0 billion to comply with the obligations under the Framework Agreement.
d) Contingencies related to Samarco accident
(i) Public civil claim filed by the Federal Government and others
The federal government, the two Brazilian states affected by the failure (Espirito Santo and Minas Gerais) and other governmental authorities have initiated a public civil lawsuit against Samarco and its shareholders, Vale S.A. and BHPB, with an estimated value indicated by the plaintiffs of R$20.2 billion.
On May 5, 2016, the Framework Agreement, which was signed on March 2, 2016, was ratified by the Federal Regional Court (TRF), 1st Region. In June 2016 the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) in Brazil issued an interim order, suspending the decision of TRF, which ratified the Framework Agreement until the final judgments of the claim.
On August 17, 2016, the TRF of the 1st Region rejected the appeal presented by Samarco, Vale S.A. and BHPB against the interim order and overruled the judicial decision that ratified the Framework Agreement. This decision of the TRF of the 1st Region, among other measures, confirmed a prior injunction that prohibited the defendants from transferring or conveying any of their interest in its Brazilian iron ore concessions, without, however, limiting their production and commercial activities and ordered a deposit with the court of R$1.2 billion by January 2017. This R$1.2 billion cash deposit was provisionally replaced by the guarantees provided for under the agreements with MPF, as described below.
In January 2017 Samarco, Vale S.A. and BHPB entered into two preliminary agreements with the Federal Prosecutors Office in Brazil (MPF).
The first agreement (First Agreement) aims to outline the process and timeline for negotiations of a Final Agreement (Final Agreement), expected to occur by June 30th, 2017. This First Agreement sets the ground for conciliation of two public civil actions which aim to establish socio-economic and socio-environmental remediation and compensation programs for the impacts of the Fundão dam failure, respectively: claim nº 023863-07.2016.4.01.3800, filed by the Federal Prosecutors (amounting to R$155 billion), as mentioned in item (ii) below, and claim nº 0069758-61.2015.4.01.3400, filed by the Federal Government, the states of Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo and other governmental authorities (amounting to R$20.2 billion). Both claims were filed with the 12th Judicial Federal Court of Belo Horizonte.
The First Agreement provides for: (i) the appointment of experts selected by the Federal Prosecutors and paid for by the companies to conduct a diagnosis and follow the progress of the 41 programs under the Framework Agreement signed on March 2nd, 2016 by the companies and the Federal Government and the states of Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo and other governmental authorities and (ii) holding at least eleven public hearings by April 15th, 2017, five of which are to be held in Minas Gerais, three in Espírito Santo and the remainder in the indigenous territories of the Krenak, Comboios and Caieiras Velhas, in order to allow these communities to take part in the definition of the content of the Final Agreement.
Under the First Agreement, Samarco, Vale S.A. and BHPB will provide the 12th Judicial Federal Court of Belo Horizonte with a guarantee for fulfillment of the obligations regarding the financing and payment of the socio-environmental and socio-economic remediation programs resulting from the Fundão dam failure, pursuant to the two public civil actions, until the signing of the Final Agreement, amounting to R$2.2 billion, of which (i) R$100 in financial investments; ii) R$1.3 billion in insurance bonds; and (iii) R$800 in assets of Samarco. The guarantee will remain in place until the completion of the negotiations for the Final Agreement or until June 30th, 2017, whichever comes first. In order to implement the First Agreement, it has been requested that the 12th Judicial Federal Court of Belo Horizonte accept such guarantees until the completion of the negotiations and the signing of the Final Agreement, or until the parties reach a new agreement regarding the guarantees. If, by June 30th, the negotiations have not been completed, the Federal Prosecutors Office may require that the 12th Judicial Federal Court of Belo Horizonte re-institute the order for the deposit of R$1.2 billion in relation to the R$20.2 billion public civil action, which is currently suspended.
In addition, the Second Agreement (Second Agreement) was signed, which establishes a timetable to make funds available to remediate the social, economic and environmental damages caused by the Fundão dam failure in the municipalities of Barra Longa, Rio Doce, Santa Cruz do Escalvado and Ponte Nova, amounting to R$200.
The terms of the two Agreements are subject to ratification by the courts.
(ii) Public civil action filed by Federal Prosecution Office
On May 3, 2016, the Federal Prosecution Office (MPF) filed a public civil action against Samarco and its shareholders and presented several demands, including: (i) the adoption of measures for mitigating the social, economic and environmental impacts resulting from the Fundão dam failure and other emergency measures; (ii) the payment of compensation to the community; and (iii) payments for the collective moral damage. The initial action value claimed by the Federal Prosecution Office (MPF) is R$155 billion. The first conciliatory hearing was held on September 13, 2016. On November 21, 2016, the court ordered that the defendants be served, and the defendants submitted their defense. Given the negotiations of a potential settlement, the parties jointly requested the suspension of the proceeding, in accordance with the First Agreement.
(iii) U.S. Securities class action suits
On May 2, 2016, Vale S.A. and certain of its officers were named as defendants in securities class action suits in the Federal Court in New York brought by holders of Vales American Depositary Receipts under U.S. federal securities laws. The lawsuits allege that Vale S.A. made false and misleading statements or omitted to make disclosures concerning the risks and dangers of the operations of Samarcos Fundão dam and the adequacy of related programs and procedures. The plaintiffs have not specified an amount of alleged damages in these actions. Vale S.A. intends to vigorously and fully defend itself against the allegations. The litigation is at an early stage. On March 7, 2016, the judge overseeing the securities class actions issued an order consolidating these actions and designating lead plaintiffs and counsel. On April 29, 2016, lead plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Amended Complaint that will serve as the operative complaint in the litigation. In July 2016, Vale S.A. and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint. In August 2016, the plaintiffs submitted their opposition to the motion to dismiss, to which the defendants replied in September 2016. The decision on the motion to dismiss remains pending.
(iv) Criminal lawsuit
On October 20, 2016, the MPF brought a criminal lawsuit in the Brazilian Federal Justice Court against Vale S.A., BHPB, Samarco, VogBr Recursos Hídricos e Geotecnia Ltda. and 22 individuals for alleged crimes against the environment, urban planning and cultural heritage, flooding, landslide, as well as for alleged crimes against the victims of the Fundão dam failure.
On November 16, 2016, the judge received the Federal Prosecutors Office criminal lawsuit and determined the summons of all defendants, granting 30 days each to file their defenses, to count from the day they receive the summon. Vale has already been served and its deadline to present its defense is March 3, 2017.
(v) Other lawsuits
In addition, Samarco and its shareholders were named as a defendant in several other lawsuits brought by individuals, corporations and governmental entities seeking personal and property damages.
These lawsuits and petitions are at early stages, so it is not possible to determine a range of outcomes or reliable estimates of the potential exposure at this time. No contingent liability has been quantified and no provision was recognized for lawsuits related to Samarco´s dam failure.
Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The provision requires the use of assumptions that may be mainly affected by: (i) changes in scope of work required under the Framework Agreement as result of further technical analysis, (ii) resolution of uncertainty in respect of the resume the Samarco´s operation; (iii) updates in the discount rate; and (iv) resolution of existing and potential legal claims. As a result, future expenditures may differ from the amounts currently provided and changes to key assumptions could result in a material impact to the amount of the provision in future reporting periods.
Vale considers that an effective risk management is key to support the achievement of the company objectives and to ensure the financial strength and flexibility of the company and the business continuity.
Therefore, Vale has developed its risk management strategy in order to provide an integrated approach of the risks the company is exposed to, considering not only the risks generated by variables traded in financial markets (market risk) and those arising from liquidity risk, but also the risk from counterparties obligations (credit risk) and those relating to inadequate or failed internal processes, people, systems or external events (operational risk), among others.
a) Risk management policy
The Board of Directors established a corporate risk management policy defining principles and guidelines applicable to this process in the company and the corresponding governance structure.
This policy determines that corporate risks should be measured and monitored, regularly, in an integrated manner, in order to ensure that the company overall risk level remains aligned with its strategic guidelines.
The Executive Risk Management Committee, created by the Board of Directors, is responsible for supporting the Executive Board in the risk management decisions, issuing opinions and recommendations. It is also responsible for the supervision and revision of the principles and instruments of corporate risk management.
The Executive Board is responsible for the approval of the policy deployment into norms, rules and responsibilities and for reporting to the Board of Directors about such procedures.
The risk management norms and instructions complement the corporate risk management policy and define practices, processes, controls, roles and responsibilities.
The Company may, when necessary, allocate specific risk limits to management activities, including but not limited to, market risk limit, corporate and sovereign credit limit, in accordance with the acceptable corporate risk limit.
b) Liquidity risk management
The liquidity risk arises from the possibility that Vale might not perform its obligations on due dates, as well as face difficulties to meet its cash requirements due to market liquidity constraints.
See note 20 Loans, borrowing and cash and cash equivalents for details on the Groups liquidity risk.
c) Credit risk management
Vales exposure to credit risk arises from trade receivables, derivative transactions, guarantees, down payment for suppliers and cash investments. Our credit risk management process provides a framework for assessing and managing counterparties credit risk and for maintaining our risk at an acceptable level.
(i) Commercial credit risk management
See note 10 Accounts receivables for details on commercial credit risk.
(ii) Treasury credit risk management
To manage the credit exposure arising from cash investments and derivative instruments, credit limits are approved to each counterparty with whom we have credit exposure.
Furthermore, we control the portfolio diversification and monitor different indicators of solvency and liquidity of the different counterparties that were approved for trading.
d) Market risk management
Vale is exposed to the behavior of several market risk factors that can impact its cash flow. The assessment of this potential impact arising from the volatility of risk factors and their correlations is performed periodically to support the decision making process regarding the risk management strategy, that may incorporate financial instruments, including derivatives.
The portfolio of these financial instruments is monitored on a monthly basis, enabling financial results surveillance and its impact on cash flow.
Considering the nature of Vales business and operations, the main market risk factors which the Company is exposed to are:
· Foreign exchange and interest rates;
· Product prices and input costs.
e) Foreign exchange and interest rate risk
The companys cash flow is subjected to volatility of several currencies, as its product are predominantly priced in US dollar, while most of the costs, disbursements and investments are denominated in other currencies, mainly Brazilian real and Canadian dollar.
In order to reduce the potential impact that arises from this currency mismatch, derivatives instruments may be used as a risk mitigation strategy.
Vale implements hedge transactions to protect its cash flow against the market risks that arises from its debt obligations mainly currency volatility. The hedges cover most of the debts in Brazilian reais and euros. We use swap and forward transactions to convert debt linked to Brazilian real and Euros into US dollar, with volumes, flows and settlement dates similar to those of the debt instruments - or sometimes lower, subject to market liquidity conditions.
Hedging instruments with shorter settlement dates are renegotiated through time so that their final maturity matches - or becomes closer - to the debts` final maturity. At each settlement date, the results of the swap and forward transactions partially offset the impact of the foreign exchange rate in Vales obligations, contributing to stabilize the cash disbursements in US dollar.
Vale has also exposure to interest rates risks over loans and financings. The US Dollar floating rate debt in the portfolio consists mainly of loans including export pre-payments, commercial banks and multilateral organizations loans. In general, such debt instruments are indexed to the LIBOR (London Interbank Offer Rate) in US dollar. We take advantage of the potential correlation between commodity prices and U.S. dollar floating interest rates as a partial natural hedge for our cash flow.
f) Risk of product and input prices
Vale is also exposed to market risks including commodities price and input price volatilities. In accordance with risk management policy, risk mitigation strategies involving commodities can be used to adjust the cash flow risk profile and reduce Vales cash flow volatility. For this kind of risk mitigation strategy, Vale uses predominantly forwards, futures or zero-cost collars.
g) Operational risk management
The operational risk management is the structured approach that Vale uses to manage uncertainty related to possible inadequate or failure in internal processes, people, systems and external events, in accordance with the principles and guidelines of ISO 31000.
The main operational risks are periodically monitored, ensuring the effectiveness of preventive and mitigating key controls in place and the execution of the risk treatment strategy (implementation of new or improved controls, changes in the risk environment, risk sharing by contracting insurance, provisioning of resources, etc.).
Therefore, the Company seeks to have a clear view of its major risks, the best cost-benefit mitigation plans and the effectiveness of the controls in place, monitoring the potential impact of operational risk and allocating capital efficiently.
h) Capital management
The Companys policy aims at establishing a capital structure that will ensure the continuity of your business in the long term. Within this perspective, the Company has been able to deliver value to stockholders through dividend payments and capital gain, and at the same time maintain a debt profile suitable for its activities, with an amortization well distributed over the years, thus avoiding a concentration in one specific period.
i) Insurance
Vale contracts several types of insurance policies, such as operational risk policy, engineering risks insurance (projects), civil responsibility, life insurance policy for their employees, among others. The coverage of these policies is similar to the ones used in general by the mining industry and is issued in line with the objectives defined by the Company, with the corporate risk management policy and the limitation imposed by the insurance and reinsurance global market. In general, the companys assets directly related with its operations are included in the coverage of insurance policies.
Insurance management is performed with the support of existing insurance committees in the various operational areas of the Company. Among the management instruments, Vale uses captive reinsurance to balance the price on reinsurance contracts with the market, as well as, enable direct access to key international markets of insurance and reinsurance.

Due to the short-term cycle, it is assumed that the fair value of cash and cash equivalents balances, financial investments, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their book values. For the measurement and determination of fair value, the Company uses various methods including market, income or cost approaches, in order to estimate the value that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are classified and disclosed in accordance with the following levels:
Level 1 unadjusted quoted prices on an active, liquid and visible market for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date;
Level 2 - quoted prices (adjusted or unadjusted) for identical or similar assets or liabilities on active markets; and
Level 3 - assets and liabilities, for which quoted prices, do not exist, or where prices or valuation techniques are supported by little or no market activity, unobservable or illiquid.
a) Assets and liabilities measured and recognized at fair value:

Methods and techniques of evaluation
i) Derivative financial instruments
Financial instruments are evaluated by calculating their present value through yield curves at the closing dates. The curves and prices used in the calculation for each group of instruments are detailed in the market curves.
The pricing method used for European options is the Black & Scholes model. In this model, the fair value of the derivative is a function of the volatility in the price of the underlying asset, the exercise price of the option, the interest rate and period to maturity. In the case of options which income is a function of the average price of the underlying asset over the period of the option, the Company uses Turnbull & Wakeman model. In this model, in addition to the factors that influence the option price in the Black-Scholes model, the formation period of the average price is also considered.
In the case of swaps, both the present value of the assets and liability are estimated by discounting the cash flow by the interest rate of the currency in which the swap is denominated. The difference between the present value of the assets and the liabilities generates its fair value.
For to the Long Term Interest Rate (TJLP) swaps, the calculation of the fair value assumes that TJLP is constant, and the projections of future cash flow in Brazilian Reais are made on the basis of the last TJLP disclosed.
Contracts for the purchase or sale of products, inputs and costs of selling with future settlement are priced using the forward yield curves for each product. Typically, these curves are obtained on the stock exchanges where the products are traded, such as the London Metals Exchange (LME), the Commodity Exchange (COMEX) or other providers of market prices. When there is no price for the desired maturity, Vale uses an interpolation between the available maturities.
The fair value for derivatives classified in level 3 are measured using discounted cash flows and option model valuation techniques with main unobservable inputs discount rates, stock prices and commodities prices.
ii) Participative stockholders debentures - Consist of the debentures issued during the privatization process (note 32(b)), which fair values are measured based on the market approach. Reference prices are available on the secondary market.
Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The fair values of financial instruments that are not traded in active markets are determined using valuation techniques. Vale uses its own judgment to choose between the various methods. Assumptions are based on the market conditions, at the end of the year.
An analysis of the impact if actual results are different from managements estimates is present on note 33 (sensibility analysis).
b) Fair value of financial instruments not measured at fair value
The fair value estimate for level 1 is based on market approach considering the secondary market contracts. For loans allocated to level 2, the income approach is adopted and the fair value for both fixed-indexed rate debt and floating rate debt is determined on a discounted cash flows basis using LIBOR future values and Vales bonds curve.
The fair values and carrying amounts of non-current loans (net of interest) are as follows:

Accounting policy
Derivatives transactions which are not qualified as hedge accounting are presented as economic hedge, as the Company uses derivative instruments to manage its financial risks as a way of hedging against these risks. Derivative financial instruments are recognized as assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and are measured at their fair values. Changes in the fair values of derivatives are recorded in income statement or in stockholders equity when the transaction is eligible to be characterized as effective hedge accounting.
On the beginning of the hedge accounting operations, the Company documents the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items with the objective of risk management and strategy for carrying out hedging operations. The Company also documents, both initially and on a continuously basis, that its assessment of whether the derivatives used in hedging transactions are highly effective.
The effective components of changes in the fair values of derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as unrealized fair value gain or losses and recognized in stockholders equity; and their non-effective components recorded in income statement. The amounts recorded in the statement of comprehensive income, will only be transferred to income statement (costs, operating expenses or financial expenses) when the hedged item is actually realized.
Additional information about derivatives financial instruments
In millions of Brazilian reais, except as otherwise stated
The risk of the derivatives portfolio is measured using the delta-Normal parametric approach, and considers that the future distribution of the risk factors and its correlations tends to present the same statistic properties verified in the historical data. The value at risk estimate considers a 95% confidence level for a one-business day time horizon.
There was no cash amount deposited as margin call regarding derivative positions on December 31, 2016. The derivative positions described in this document did not have initial costs associated.
The following tables detail the derivatives positions for Vale and its controlled companies as of December 31, 2016, with the following information: notional amount, fair value including credit risk, gains or losses in the period, value at risk and the fair value breakdown by year of maturity.
a) Foreign exchange and interest rates derivative positions
(i) Protection programs for the R$ denominated debt instruments
In order to reduce cash flow volatility, swap transactions were implemented to convert into US$ the cash flows from certain debt instruments denominated in R$ with interest rates linked mainly to CDI, TJLP and IPCA. In those swaps, Vale pays fixed or floating rates in US$ and receives payments in R$ linked to the interest rates of the protected debt instruments.
The swap transactions were negotiated over-the-counter and the protected items are the cash flows from debt instruments linked to R$. These programs transform into US$ the obligations linked to R$ to achieve a currency offset in the Companys cash flows, by matching its receivables - mainly linked to US$ - with its payables.

(ii) Protection program for EUR denominated debt instruments
In order to reduce the cash flow volatility, swap and forward transactions were implemented to convert into US$ the cash flows from certain debt instruments issued in Euros by Vale. In those swaps, Vale receives fixed rates in EUR and pays fixed rates in US$. And in those forwards only the principal amount of the debt is converted from EUR to US$.
The swap and forward transactions were negotiated over-the-counter and the protected items are the cash flows from debt instruments linked to EUR. The financial settlement inflows/outflows are offset by the protected items losses/gains due to EUR/US$ exchange rate.

(iii) Foreign exchange hedging program for disbursements in CAD
In order to reduce the cash flow volatility, forward transactions were implemented to mitigate the foreign exchange exposure that arises from the currency mismatch between revenues denominated in US$ and disbursements denominated in CAD.
The forward transactions were negotiated over-the-counter and the protected item is part of the CAD denominated disbursements. The financial settlement inflows/outflows are offset by the protected items losses/gains due to CAD/US$ exchange rate. This program is classified under the hedge accounting requirements, and it was settled in the first quarter of 2016.

(i) Bunker Oil purchase cash flows protection program
In order to reduce the impact of bunker oil price fluctuation on maritime freight hiring/supply and, consequently, reducing the companys cash flow volatility, bunker oil derivatives were implemented. These transactions are usually executed through forward purchases and zero cost-collars.
The derivative transactions were negotiated over-the-counter and the protected item is part of the Vales costs linked to bunker oil prices. The financial settlement inflows/outflows are offset by the protected items losses/gains due to bunker oil prices changes.

(ii) Protection programs for base metals raw materials and products
In the operational protection program for nickel sales at fixed prices, derivatives transactions were implemented to convert into floating prices the contracts with clients that required a fixed price, in order to keep nickel revenues exposed to nickel price fluctuations. Those operations are usually implemented through the purchase of nickel forwards.
In the operational protection program for the purchase of raw materials and products, derivatives transactions were implemented, usually through the sale of nickel and copper forward or futures, in order to reduce the mismatch between the pricing period of purchases (concentrate, cathode, sinter, scrap and others) and the pricing period of the final product sales to the clients.
The derivative transactions are negotiated at London Metal Exchange or over-the-counter and the protected item is part of Vales revenues and costs linked to nickel and copper prices. The financial settlement inflows/outflows are offset by the protected items losses/gains due to nickel and copper prices changes.

In August 2014 the Company sold part of its stake in VLI to an investment fund managed by Brookfield Asset Management (Brookfield). The sales contract includes a clause that establishes, under certain conditions, a minimum return guarantee on Brookfields investment. This clause is considered an embedded derivative, with payoff equivalent to that of a put option and estimated pricing based on our own model and assumptions.

Accounting policy
The provision refers to costs related to mine closure and reclamation, with the completion of mining activities and decommissioning of assets related to mine. When the provision is recognized, the corresponding cost is capitalized as part of property plant and equipment and is depreciated on the same basis over the related asset and recorded in the income statement.
The long-term liability is subsequently measured using a long-term risk free discount rate applicable to the liability and recorded in the income statement as financial expenses until the Company makes payments related to mine closure and decommissioning of assets mining.
The accrued amounts of these obligations are not deducted from the potential costs covered by insurance or indemnities.
Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The Company applies judgment and assumptions when measuring its asset retirement obligation. The Company recognizes an obligation under the fair value for asset retirement obligations in the period in which they occur. The Company considers the accounting estimates related to closure costs of a mine as a critical accounting policy because they involve significant values for the provision and are estimated using several assumptions, such as interest rate, cost of closure useful life of the asset considering the current state of closure and the projected date of depletion of each mine. The estimates are reviewed annually.
a) Provision for litigation
Vale is party to labor, civil, tax and other ongoing lawsuits, at administrative and court levels. Provisions for losses resulting from lawsuits are estimated and updated by the Company, based on analysis from the Companys legal consultants.

i. Provisions for labor litigation - Consist of lawsuits filed by employees and service suppliers, related to employment relationships mainly in Brazil. The most recurring claims are related to payment of overtime, hours in itinerary, and health and safety. Also the social security in Brazil (INSS) contingencies are related to legal and administrative disputes between INSS and Vale due to applicability of compulsory social security charges.
b) Contingent liabilities

i - Tax litigation - Our most significant tax-related contingent liabilities result from disputes related to (i) the deductibility of our payments of social security contributions on the net income (CSLL) from our taxable income, (ii) challenges of certain tax credits we deducted from our PIS and COFINS payments, (iii) assessments of CFEM (royalties), and (iv) charges of value-added tax on services and circulation of goods (ICMS), especially relating to certain tax credits we claimed from the sale and transmission of energy, ICMS charges to anticipate the payment in the entrance of goods to Pará State, ICMS charges on our own transportation costs and challenges to other tax credits we claimed. The changes reported in the period resulted, mainly, from new proceedings related to PIS, COFINS, ICMS, CFEM; interest and inflation adjustments in the amounts in dispute.
ii - Civil litigation - Most of those claims have been filed by suppliers for indemnification under construction contracts, primarily relating to certain alleged damages, payments and contractual penalties. A number of other claims related to contractual disputes regarding inflation index.
iii - Labor litigation - Represents individual claims by employees and service providers, primarily involving demands for additional compensation for overtime work, time spent commuting or health and safety conditions; and the Brazilian federal social security administration (INSS) regarding contributions on compensation programs based on profits.
iv - Environmental litigation - The most significant claims concern alleged procedural deficiencies in licensing processes, non-compliance with existing environmental licenses or damage to the environment.
c) Judicial deposits
In addition to the provisions and contingent liabilities, the Company is required by law to make judicial deposits to secure a potential adverse outcome of certain lawsuits. These court-ordered deposits are monetarily adjusted and reported as non-current assets until a judicial decision to draw the deposit occurs.

Accounting policy
A provision is recognized when the obligation is considered probable and can be measured. The accounting counterpart for the obligation is an expense in income statement. This obligation is updated according to the evolution of the judicial process or interest incurred and can be reversed if the estimate of loss is not considered probable or settled when the obligation is paid.
Critical accounting estimates and judgments
By their nature, litigations will be resolved when one or more future event occurs or fails to occur. Typically, the occurrence or not of such events is outside the Companys control. Legal uncertainties involve the exercise of significant estimates and judgments by management regarding the results of future events.
a) Employee postretirements obligations
In Brazil, the management of the pension plans is responsibility of Fundação Vale do Rio Doce de Seguridade Social (Valia) a nonprofit entity with administrative and financial autonomy. The Brazilian plans are as follows:
Benefit plan Vale Mais (Vale Mais) and benefit plan Valiaprev (Valiaprev) - Certain of the Companys employees are participants of plans Vale Mais and Valiaprev with components of defined benefit (specific coverage for death, pensions and disability allowances) and components of defined contributions (for programmable benefits). The defined benefits plan is subject to actuarial evaluations. The defined contribution plan represents a fixed amount held on behalf of the participants. Both Vale Mais and Valiaprev were overfunded as at December 31, 2016 and 2015.
Defined benefit plan (Plano BD) - The Plano BD has been closed to new entrants since the year 2000, when the Vale Mais plan was implemented. It is a plan that has defined benefit characteristics, covering almost exclusively retirees and their beneficiaries. It was overfunded as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and the contributions made by the Company are not relevant.
Abono complementação benefit plan - The Company sponsors a specific group of former employees entitled to receive additional benefits from Valia normal payments plus post-retirement benefit that covers medical, dental and pharmaceutical assistance. The contributions made by the Company finished in 2014. The abono complementação benefit was overfunded as at December 31, 2016 and 2015.
Other benefits - The Company sponsors medical plans for employees that meet specific criteria and for employees who use the abono complementação benefit. Although those benefits are not specific retirement plans, actuarial calculations are used to calculate future commitments. As those benefits are related to health care plans they have the nature of underfunded benefits, and are presented as underfunded plans as at December 31, 2016 and 2015.
The Foreign plans are managed in accordance with their region. They are divided between plans in Canada, United States of America, United Kingdom, Indonesia, New Caledonia, Japan and Taiwan. Pension plans in Canada are composed of a defined benefit and defined contribution component. Currently the defined benefit plans do not allow new entrants. The foreign defined benefit plans are underfunded as at December 31, 2016 and 2015.
Employers disclosure about pensions and other post-retirement benefits on the status of the defined benefit elements of all plans is provided as follows.

vi. Risks related to plans
The Administrators of the plans have committed to strategic planning to strengthen internal controls and risk management. This commitment is archived by conducting audits including of internal controls, which aim to mitigate operational market and credit risks. Risks are presented as follow:
Legal - lawsuits: issuing periodic reports to internal audit and directors contemplating the analysis of lawyers about the possibility of loss (remote, probable or possible), aiming to support the administrative decision regarding provisions. Analysis and ongoing monitoring of developments in the legal scenario and its dissemination within the institution in order to subsidize the administrative plans, considering the impact of regulatory changes.
Actuarial - the annual actuarial valuation of the benefit plans comprises the assessment of costs, revenues and adequacy of plan funding. It also considers the monitoring of biometric, economic and financial assumptions (asset volatility, changes in interest rates, inflation, life expectancy, salaries and other).
Market - profitability projections are performed for the various plans and profiles of investments for 10 years in the management study of assets and liabilities. These projections include the risks of investments in various market segments. Furthermore, the risks for short-term market of the plans are monitored monthly through metrics of VaR (Value at Risk) and stress testing. For exclusive investment funds of Valia, the market risk is measured daily by the custodian asset bank.
Credit - assessment of the credit quality of issuers by hiring expert consultants to evaluate financial institutions and internal assessment of payment ability of non-financial companies. For assets of non-financial companies the assessment is conducted a monitoring of the company until the maturity of the security.
vii. Actuarial and economic assumptions and sensitivity analysis
All calculations involve future actuarial projections about some parameters, such as: salaries, interest, inflation, the trend of INSS benefits, mortality and disability.
The economic and actuarial assumptions adopted have been formulated considering the long-term period for maturity and should therefore be examined accordingly. In the short term they may not necessarily be realized.
In the evaluations were adopted the following assumptions:

b) Profit sharing program (PLR)
The Company recorded as cost of goods sold and services rendered and other operating expenses related to the PLR R$1,064 and R$147 for the year ended on December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. For the Parent Company, R$638 and RS$106 for the year ended on December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
c) Long-term compensation plan
For the long-term awarding of eligible executives, the Company compensation plans includes Matching Program and Performance Share Unit Program - PSU, with three to four years-vesting cycles, respectively, with the aim of encouraging employees retention and stimulating their performance.
For the Matching program, the participants can acquire Vales preferred shares in the market without any benefits being provided by Vale. If the shares acquired are held for a period of three years and the participants keep it employment relationship with Vale, the participant is entitled to receive from Vale an award in shares, equivalent to the number of shares originally acquired by the executive. It should be noted that, although a specific custodian of the shares is defined by Vale, the share initially purchased by the executives have no restriction and can be sold at any time. However, if its done before the end of the three-year-vesting period they lose the entitlement of receiving the related award paid by Vale.
For PSU program, the eligible executives have the opportunity to receive during a four year-vesting cycle, an award equivalent to the market value of a determined number of common shares and conditioned to Vales performance factor measured as an indicator of total return to the shareholders (TSR). This award is paid in cash and can occur in cumulative installments of 20% (at the end of 2nd year), 30% (at the end of 3rd year) and 50% (at the end of 4th year), conditioned to the performance factor of each year.
Liabilities of the plans are measured at fair value at every reporting period, based on market rates. Compensation costs incurred are recognized by the defined vesting period of three or four years. At December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 the Company recognized in the income statement the amounts of R$120, R$113 and R$163, respectively, related to long term compensation plan.

The Company makes an accrual based on evaluation periodic of goals achieved and Company result, using the accrual basis and recognition of present obligation arising from past events in the estimated outflow of resources in the future. The accrual is recorded as cost of goods sold and services rendered or operating expenses in accordance with the activity of each employee.
iii. Non-current benefits long-term incentive programs
The Company has established a procedure for awarding certain eligible executives (Matching and Virtual Shares Programs) with the goal of encouraging employee retention and optimum performance. Plan liabilities are measured at each reporting date, at their fair values, based on market prices. Obligations are measured at each reporting date, at fair values based on market prices. The compensation costs incurred are recognized in income during the vesting period as defined.
iv. Non-current benefits pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The Company has several retirement plans for its employees.
For defined contribution plans, the Companys obligations are limited to a monthly contribution linked to a pre-defined percentage of the remuneration of employees enrolled in to these plans.
For defined benefit plans, actuarial calculations are periodically obtained for liabilities determined in accordance with the Projected Unit Credit Method in order to estimate the Companys obligation. The liability recognized in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as at that date, less the fair value of plan assets. The Company recognized in the income statement the costs of services, the interest expense of the obligations and the interest income of the plan assets. The remeasurement of gains and losses, return on plan assets (excluding the amount of interest on return of assets, which is recognized in income for the year) and changes in the effect of the ceiling of the active and onerous liabilities are recognized in comprehensive income for the year.
For overfunded plans, the Company does not recognize any assets or benefits in the balance sheet or income statement until such time as the use of the surplus is clearly defined. For underfunded plans, the Company recognizes actuarial liabilities and results arising from the actuarial valuation.
Critical accounting estimates and judgments
Post-retirement benefits for employees
The amount recognized and disclosed depend on a number of factors that are determined based on actuarial calculations using various assumptions in order to determine costs and liabilities. One of these assumptions is selection and use of the discount rate. Any changes to these assumptions will affect the amount recognized.
At the end of each year the Company and external actuaries review the assumptions that will be used for the following year. These assumptions are used in determining the fair values of assets and liabilities, costs and expenses and the future values of estimated cash outflows, which are recorded in the plan obligations.
a) Share capital
Stockholders equity is represented by common shares (ON) and preferred non-redeemable shares (PNA) without par value. Preferred shares have the same rights as common shares, with the exception of voting rights to elect members of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may, regardless of changes to bylaws, issue new shares (authorized capital), including the capitalization of profits and reserves to the extent authorized.
The Company repurchases its shares to hold in treasury for future sale or cancellation. These shares are recorded in a specific account as a reduction of stockholders´ equity at their acquisition value and carried at cost. These programs are approved by the Board of Directors with a determined terms and numbers of type of shares.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are recognized in stockholders equity as a deduction from the amount raised, net of taxes
At December 31, 2016 and 2015, share capital was R$77,300 corresponding to 5,244,316,120 shares issued and fully paid without par value.

d) Remuneration to the Companys stockholders
Vales by-laws determine the minimum remuneration to stockholders of 25% of net income, after adjustments from Brazils legal requirements which based on our adjusted net income as shown below resulted in R$3,459. In December, 2016 R$857 was anticipated and the remaining balance of R$2,602 was accounted for in short term liability as Dividends and interest on capital. Additionally, in our by-laws preferred shares class A are entitled to receive priority dividends corresponding to (i) at least 3% (three percent) of the shareholders equity share value, calculated based on the financial statements used as reference for the payment of dividends or (ii) 6% (six percent) calculated over the part of capital represented by this class of shares, whichever is the higher among them. Accordingly, management proposed and the Board of Directors approved the proposal for additional dividends payments of R$2,065 to equalize preferred and common share remuneration. The amount was classified as Additional Remuneration reserve until it is approved in the annual general meeting. All remuneration paid and proposed during the year was based on interest on equity.
The proposal of stockholders remuneration was calculated as follows:

e) New shareholders agreement Subsequent event.
On February 20, 2017 the Company announced that a new shareholders agreement was filed at the Companys headquarters, executed by Litel Participações S.A., Litela Participações S.A., Bradespar S.A., Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and BNDES Participações S.A. BNDESPAR (Valepar Agreement), as shareholders of Valepar S.A. (Valepar), jointly referred to as Shareholders, which shall enter into force after the expiration of Valepars current Shareholders Agreement on May 10, 2017.
The Valepar Agreement, along with the standard provisions in connection with voting rights and right of first refusal for the acquisition of the Shareholders shares, provides for the submission to the Company of a proposal for the purpose of enabling the listing of Vale on BM&FBOVESPAs Novo Mercado special segment (Brazil) and making Vale a company without defined control (Proposal). The Proposal is binding on the Shareholders, and it is subject to approval by the Companys corporate bodies. The Valepar Agreement will have a term of 6 months, counting from the date it takes effect.
The transaction envisaged by the Proposal is composed of a series of indivisible and interdependent steps, whose effectiveness is subject to the successful performance of the other steps. The Proposal comprises, beyond the performance of all acts and procedures imposed by the applicable legal provisions and rules:
(i) Voluntary conversion of Vale class A preferred shares into common shares, based on the conversion rate of 0.9342 common shares for each Vale class A preferred share, based on the average closing price of the common shares and preferred shares over the last 30 trading sessions on the BM&FBOVESPA prior to February 17, 2017 (inclusive), weighted by the volume of shares traded in such trading sessions;
(ii) Amendment of Vales bylaws, so as to adjust it, as much as possible, to BM&FBOVESPAs Novo Mercado special segment rules so Vale may be effectively listed on such special segment;
(iii) The merger of Valepar into Vale at an exchange ratio that contemplates a 10% increase in the number of shares held by the shareholders of Valepar compared to Valepars current shareholding interest, and represents a dilution of approximately 3% of the shareholding interest held by the other shareholders in Vale.
In line with the provisions of item iii above, Valepars shareholders will receive 1.2065 Vale common shares for each Valepar share held by them. As a result, Vale will issue 173,543,667 new common shares, all registered and without par value, in favor of Valepars shareholders. Consequently, Valepars shareholders will own a total of 1,908,980,340 Vale common shares after the merger of Valepar.
The goodwill balance carried on Valepars financial statements and its potential tax benefit use by Vale will not be subject to capitalization in favor of Valepars shareholders, but will be for the benefit of all Vales shareholders. Valepar will hold at the time of the merger enough cash and cash equivalents to fully settle its liabilities.
The implementation of the Proposal is subject to (i) the approval of the Proposal, including the merger of Valepar into Vale, by Valepars and Vales corporate bodies; and (ii) the acceptance by at least 54.09% of class A preferred shares of the voluntary conversion, as mentioned in item i above, within the maximum term of 45 days from the shareholders meeting decision on the matter, resulting in a combined shareholding interest held by the Shareholders of less than 50% of Vales total common shares. Valepar and the Shareholders will not exercise their voting right at Vales shareholders meetings that consider the voluntary conversion of the Vale class A preferred shares into common shares and the merger of Valepar.
The holders of American Depositary Shares representing class A preferred shares of Vale will be able to elect voluntary conversion into American Depositary Shares representing common shares of Vale, on the same terms available to holders of class A preferred shares. Class A preferred shares, and preferred ADSs, that do not elect voluntary conversion will remain outstanding.
On the date of effectiveness of the merger of Valepar into Vale, if the merger is approved, the Shareholders will execute a new shareholders agreement (Vale Agreement) that will bind only 20% of the totality of Vales common shares, and will be in force until November 9, 2020, with no provision for renewal.
For 6 months from the date of entry into force of the Vale Agreement, the Shareholders will be obligated not to transfer, by any means, either directly or indirectly, Vale shares they receive as a result of the implementation of the Proposal (Lock-Up), except for (i) the transfer of Vales shares by the Shareholders to their affiliates and their current shareholders, provided that such transferred shares shall remain subject to the Lock-Up, and (ii) the transfer of shares held by the Shareholders prior to the merger of Valepar.
Accounting policy
The stockholders remuneration is paid on dividends and interest on capital. This remuneration is recognized as a liability in the financial statements of the Company based on bylaws. Any amount above the minimum compulsory remuneration approved by the bylaws shall only be recognized in current liabilities on the date that is approved by stockholders.
The Company is permitted to distribute interest attributable to stockholders equity. The calculation is based on the stockholders equity amounts as stated in the statutory accounting records and the interest rate applied may not exceed the Brazilian Government Long-term Interest Rate (TJLP) determined by the Central Bank of Brazil. Also, such interest may not exceed 50% of the net income for the year or 50% of retained earnings plus profit reserves as determined by Brazilian corporate law.
The benefit to the Company, as opposed to making a dividend payment, is a reduction in the income tax burden because this interest charge is tax deductible in Brazil. Income tax of 15% is withheld on behalf of the stockholders relative to the interest distribution. Under Brazilian law, interest attributed to stockholders equity is considered as part of the annual minimum mandatory dividend. This notional interest distribution is treated for accounting purposes as a deduction from stockholders equity in a manner similar to a dividend and the tax deductibility recorded in the income statement.
Transactions with related parties are made by the Company at arm´s-length, observing the price and usual market conditions and therefore do not generate any undue benefit to their counterparties or loss to the Company.
In the normal course of operations, Vale enters into contracts with related parties (associates, joint ventures and stockholders), related to the sale and purchase of products and services, loans, derivatives, leasing of assets, sale of raw material and railway transportation services.
The balances of these related party transactions and their effects on the financial statements are as follows:

a) Base metals operations
i) Nickel Operations New Caledonia
In regards to the construction and installation of the nickel plant in New Caledonia, Vale Canada Limited (Vale Canada) provided guarantees in respect of a special financing arrangement, structured under French tax law, to BNP Paribas (agent for the benefit of certain French institutional tax investors). The guarantees relate to lease finance payments due from Vale Nouvelle-Calédonie S.A.S. (VNC) to a special purpose company held by the French tax investors in respect of certain assets of the plant. Consistent with VNCs commitments under the financing structure, these assets were substantially complete as at December 31, 2012. Vale Canada has committed that these assets will operate for a five year period following substantial completion. Vale Canada believes the likelihood of the guarantees being called upon is remote.
ii) Nickel Operations Indonesia
In October 2014, Vale subsidiary PT Vale Indonesia Tbk (PTVI), a public company in Indonesia, renegotiated its agreement with the Government to operate (known as the Contract of Work (CoW)). The renegotiation included an undertaking by PTVI to further divest 20% of its shares to Indonesian participants (approximately 20% of PTVIs shares already being registered on the Indonesian stock exchange) within five years. This undertaking will be fulfilled by PTVIs existing major shareholders, being Vale Canada and Sumitomo Metal Mining, Co., Ltd., on a pro rata basis.
iii) Nickel Operations Canada
The subsidiaries Vale Canada, Vale Newfoundland & Labrador Limited (VNLL) and the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador (the Province) signed a Development Agreement with respect to the development and operation of the Voiseys Bay mine along with certain other obligations with respect to processing in the Province and the export of nickel and copper concentrate. On December 19, 2014, the Sixth Amendment to the Development Agreement was executed. The Sixth Amendment includes operational and other key commitments in the Development Agreement. As such, under the Development Agreement, as amended, VNLL has a potential obligation secured by letters of credit and other security, which may become due and payable in the event that certain commitments in relation to the construction of the underground mine are delayed or not met.
iv) Other
In the course of the operations the Company has provided other letters of credit, guarantees and surety bonds in the amount of R$3.6 billion (US$1.1 billion) that are associated with items such as environment reclamation, asset retirement obligation commitments, insurance, electricity commitments, post-retirement benefits, community service commitments and import and export duties.
b) Participative stockholders debentures
At the time of its privatization in 1997, Vale issued debentures to then-existing stockholders, including the Brazilian Government. The debentures terms were set to ensure that pre-privatization stockholders would participate in potential future benefits that might be obtained from exploiting mineral resources.
A total of 388,559,056 debentures were issued with a par value of R$0.01 (one cent of Brazilian Real), whose value will be inflation-indexed the General Market Price Index (IGP-M), as set out in the Issue Deed. The Company paid as semiannual remuneration the amount of R$268 and R$209, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.
c) Others commitments
The table below sets forth the annual minimum, required and non-cancelable, future payments related to the contractual obligations assumed by the Company as of December 31.
