"Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors - Vale currently complies with SEC Industry Guide 7 in its reporting
of mineral reserves in SEC filings. SEC Industry Guide 7 permits mining companies, in their filings with
the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that a company can economically and legally extract
or produce. We present certain information in this presentation that are not proven or probable
reserves, as defined by SEC Industry Guide 7, and we cannot assure you that these materials will be
converted into proven or probable reserves, as defined by SEC Industry Guide 7. Starting in its next
annual report on Form 20-F, Vale will comply with Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K, which will replace
SEC Industry Guide 7. Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K permits mining companies, in their filings with
the SEC, to disclose "mineral reserves", "mineral resources" and "exploration targets" that are based
upon and accurately reflects information and supporting documentation of a qualified person. We
present certain information in this presentation that are not based upon information or documentation
of a qualified person, and that will not be permitted in an SEC filing under Subpart 1300 of Regulation
S-K. These materials are not mineral reserves, mineral resources or exploration targets, as defined by
