    No clear consensus as to how much IO production Vale will lose to mine closures.

    Only Vale knows the impact to production

    ———-
    Since January's dam collapse at the company’s Corrego do Feijão mine, which left at least 300 people dead, both authorities and companies have stepped up scrutiny of so-called upstream dams, the cheapest but generally regarded as the riskiest method to store mine waste.

    Last week, Vale was forced to shut its Timbopeba mine, also in Minas Gerais state, which produced 12.8 million tonnes of iron ore per year, due to safety concerns.

    The company later received a fresh order to halt another two dams — Minervino and Cordao Nova Vista. The same day, prosecutors took a separate action, seeking guarantees of 50 billion reais (roughly $13 billion) for environmental restoration.

    While BMO Global Commodities Research added back on Wednesday 16Mt of iron ore into its estimate for Vale's 2019 iron ore production on the announced restart of Brucutu mine, analyst Edward Sterck said Thursday he was holding off making changes related to Alegria, but noted that remopving that mine’s output would reduce 2019 EBITDA by 1.5%
