Vale said it will suspend activities until December, following a rock fissure that was detected inside the mine. No workers were injured. Vale’s Urucum mine produces 2.5 million mt of iron ore and 800,000 mt of manganese.

A media report noted the incident occurred in mid-October this year, but the news was only reported by regional media this week.
