    Vale announces strategic partnership with Manara Minerals and Engine No. 1 to accelerate growth of energy transition metals business

    Vale today signed a binding agreement with Manara Minerals, a joint venture  between  Ma’aden  and  Saudi  Arabia’s  Public  Investment  Fund,  under  which  Manara Minerals  will  invest  in  Vale  Base  Metals  Limited  (VBM),  the  holding  entity  for  Vale’s  energy transition metals business, at an implied enterprise value of US$ 26 billion. Concurrently, Vale and investment firm Engine No. 1 entered into a binding agreement pursuant to which Engine No. 1 will invest in VBM under the same economic terms. The total consideration to be paid to VBM under both agreements is US$ 3.4 billion, for a 13% equity interest.  

    This strategic partnership will fast-track VBM’s expected US$ 25-30 billion capital program over the next decade and help drive a significant potential increase in VBM’s production from about 350kt/year to 900kt/year in copper and from roughly 175kt/year to more than 300kt/year in nickel. This program will generate jobs, economic growth, procurement and supplier opportunities as well as socioeconomic benefits in communities across the key critical mineral jurisdictions where VBM operates in Brazil, Canada and Indonesia.  

    The total consideration of US$ 3.4 billion will be paid in cash to VBM at closing of the transaction, subject to customary adjustments. Manara Minerals will own 10% of VBM, while Engine No. 1 will hold  a  3%  stake.  The  closing  is  expected  to  occur  by  1Q24,  subject  to  conditions  precedent, including the approval of the relevant regulatory authorities.  

    “We see these strategic investments as a major milestone in our path to accelerate accretive growth in our Energy Transition Metals business platform, creating significant long-term value to all of our stakeholders,” said Eduardo Bartolomeo, Vale’s CEO. "With our high-quality portfolio, we are uniquely positioned to meet the growing demand for green metals essential for the global energy transition, while remaining committed to strong social and environmental practices and sustainable mining." 

    Robert Wilt, Executive Director of Manara Minerals and CEO of Ma’aden, said, “Manara Minerals’ investment into Vale Base Metals marks our first major investment into the global mining sector. This strategic investment signifies our confidence in Vale’s strategic minerals business and will facilitate growth in VBM’s world class asset portfolio across all of the countries it operates in. Manara Minerals brings long-term capital, mining experience, and deep sector knowledge, and will act as a key strategic partner in global supply chain resilience and energy transition efforts.”    

    Chris James, Founder of Engine No. 1, said, “We are proud to support the Vale Base Metals team in driving the next stage of growth for these critical assets. Vale Base Metals is best positioned to supply the responsibly sourced raw materials needed to build the infrastructure of the future.” Erik Belz, Engine No. 1’s head of private capital, added, “Our private capital mission is to partner with companies to create value by operating assets in a responsible and sustainable way while delivering critical materials. We look forward to building this important platform with Vale Base Metals.”
