We note, six of Serra Norte’s nine identi fi ed ore bodies (N2, N3 and N6–N9) were left undevelopable under 2014 licensing conditions tied explicitly to cavity and preservation of canga domains 1 , and four of those (N6–N9) remain undeveloped today and not included in the mine plan/reserve estimates. Vale already has infrastructure and logistics in place at Serra Norte, which has been running for decades, so a durable cavity-decree change could start unlocking value within less than two years, according to our channel checks with industry contacts. This would be more like a brown fi eld tie-in: faster to bring on stream, lower in capital intensity, and additive to production life. 1 Canga is a type of ironstone (ferricrete) — a naturally cemented crust formed by the weathering and hardening of iron-rich rocks.
