RPT-BHP faces first step in $6.3 billion UK claim over Brazil dam failure
More than 200,000 Brazilian people and groups will next week kick off a 5 billion-pound ($6.3 billion) lawsuit against Anglo-Australian miner BHP in Britain over a 2015 dam failure that led to Brazil's worst environmental disaster. An initial, eight-day hearing will establish whether the case can be heard in Britain, although the judge is expected to reserve judgment until later in the year. BHP spokesman Neil Burrows said the claim did not belong in Britain because it duplicated proceedings in Brazil and the ongoing work of the Renova Foundation, an entity created by the miner and its partners to manage reparations and repairs.

EMERGING MARKETS-Brazil's real falls, Bolsonaro tests positive for coronavirus
* Brazilian President Bolsonaro tests positive for coronavirus * Brazil's real erases earlier gains * Chile's peso supported by strong export data * Mexican peso pressured by weak oil (Updates prices throughout) By Shreyashi Sanyal July 7 (Reuters) - Brazil's real erased gains from earlier in the session on Tuesday, on caution about the alarming spread of the coronavirus after the country's president, Jair Bolsonaro, tested positive for the virus, while the Mexican peso weakened with sliding oil prices. The real, after having shed more than 25% for the year on heightened political risks and soaring COVID-19 cases, came under pressure as Bolsonaro, long a skeptic about the coronavirus, tested positive for it. The pandemic has killed more than 65,000 people in Brazil, which currently stands as the second-worst hit country in the world by the pandemic after the United States, in terms of infections.

Brazil's Vale to relocate 50 people near dams, expanding 'safety zone'
Brazilian miner Vale SA said on Wednesday it will relocate about 50 people near a series of tailings dams in the state of Minas Gerais to reflect concern that a wider area could be hit by a potential dam burst. Vale said in a securities filing that the move to expand the "safety zone" around the Forquilha dams in the case of a dam collapse had been taken based on more conservative studies and an "extreme" hypothesis. The expansion of the zone for the dams that are part of its Paraopeba complex complies with an agreement reached with Minas Gerais prosecutors, after the Brumadinho dam burst last year, killing more than 270 people.

Environmental groups propose tailings dam safety standards
Mining companies should be required to buy private insurance for tailings dams and their board of directors should be held legally responsible for any disasters, a coalition of 140 environmental groups said in a report published on Tuesday. Earthworks and MiningWatch Canada, two prominent environmental nonprofits, co-wrote the report https://earthworks.org/safety-first that includes 16 recommendations they hope will be adopted by regulators across the world and used by bankers as they consider whether to lend to miners. Tailings dams, which are embankments constructed near mines to store mining waste in a liquid or solid form, can sometimes tower dozens of meters high and stretch for several kilometers.

Brazil's Vale signs deal with authorities on COVID-19 monitoring at Itabira mines
Brazilian miner Vale SA has signed an agreement on monitoring for possible coronavirus cases at its Itabira complex, a major iron ore production facility temporarily shuttered earlier this month out of health concerns, authorities said on Thursday. A number of sanitary measures including testing all workers every 21 days were agreed with labor prosecutors in Minas Gerais state and with a local court, the authorities said, adding that Vale now had 15 days to draw up the details of a virus mitigation plan. Prosecutors will use reports the company has agreed to produce regularly to decide on possible new actions at the complex, where changes in production levels can potentially affect iron ore prices internationally.

China iron ore demand powers Baltic sea freight index to record weekly gain
The Baltic Exchange's main sea freight index, which tracks rates for ships ferrying dry commodities around the world, posted its biggest weekly gain ever, underpinned by a rebound in global commodities trading as iron ore demand from China picked up. "Most of the strength is due to increased Chinese steel mill demand for iron ore coupled with the increased production and exports out of Brazil," said Randy Giveans, vice-president, equity research, at Jefferies. Average daily earnings for capesizes, which typically transport cargoes of 170,000 tonnes to 180,000 tonnes, including iron ore and coal, increased by $231 to $25,511.

Vale to Restart Nickel Mine in Canada After Covid-19 Pause
(Bloomberg) -- Vale SA, the top commercial nickel producer, will resume operations next month at its Voisey’s Bay mine in Canada after halting work to monitor the coronavirus outbreak.Production at the nickel-cobalt-copper mine in Labrador is expected to restart early July and reach full capacity by early August, the Rio de Janeiro-based company said in a statement Thursday.Voisey’s Bay was placed on care and maintenance in mid-March as mining companies around the world paused while governments implemented measures to stem the spread of the disease. Its resumption comes as economies begin to reopen and prices of steel-making inputs recover.The restart of Voisey’s Bay may be more significant for the copper market than nickel. Vale continued processing nickel inventories during the mining shutdown but didn’t have enough stockpiles to keep supplying copper, BMO analyst Edward Sterck said in a report.Vale is partnering with a private testing lab in Newfoundland & Labrador to provide testing of all employees entering the site. There have been no cases of Covid-19 to date at the site, Vale said.“Vale remains firm in its commitment to the safety of its people and the communities in which it operates and will continue to consult and cooperate with local health authorities to establish world-class initiatives in the fight against Covid-19,” the company said.The resumption includes restarting critical path activities related to an expansion project.The announcement comes a day after Vale said it got approval to resume operations at three iron-ore mines in southern Brazil after authorities approved its revised Covid-19 protocols.(Adds comment on copper and nickel markets in fourth paragraph)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2020 Bloomberg L.P.

Vale SA Forced To Shutter Itabira Mines; Analyst Sees The Bright Side
A Brazilian judge has ordered Vale SA (VALE) to shutter several mines due to concerns over Covid-19, as the coronavirus pandemic continues to rage across the country.Vale has been instructed to suspend its activities in its Itabira iron ore mining complex until it can obtain a judgement to ensure safety for its workers. It will be fined a nominal BRL 500k ($100k) per day until this is resolved.Itabira consists of the Caue and Conceicao mines and three beneficiation plants and is part of Vale’s Southeastern System. It produced 36mt of iron ore in 2019 (11% of Vake total 302mt) and has been relatively unaffected by the impacts from the Brumadinho tailings disaster.It remains uncertain at this point how long this operation will remain shut, but Vale has left its iron ore production guidance unchanged. That’s because its 2020 310-325mt guidance already includes 15mt of potential Covid-19 disruptions, points out RBC Capital analyst Tyler Broda.He is forecasting Itabira will produce 31.8mt of iron ore in 2020. “In isolation, this disruption does not change our outlook for a global iron ore surplus (we calculate ~80mt in 2021), especially considering this disruption is likely short-term in nature and already more than captured in VALE guidance” Broda reassures investors.However, the analyst says this latest issue does reinforce structural supply side concerns about Brazilian production. Further disruptions could cause more challenges, especially with an anticipated acceleration in H2 of assets returning post-Brumadinho, the analyst says, writing: “We see risks of consensus production downgrades over the coming weeks.”In terms of pricing, Broda expect iron ore prices to react positively in the short-term to this development, especially with the wider macro reflation trade ongoing. Moreover, he calculates that the economic impact to VALE is a net positive as price impact outweighs volume impact.“With VALE’s inexpensive valuation, the likely return of a dividend and buybacks, and with coming divestments acting as catalysts for the shares, we continue to see the shares positively” the analyst concludes. He recently upgraded the stock to buy with a $10.25 price target.Indeed, Vale shows a firmly bullish Strong Buy analyst consensus thanks to several recent analyst upgrades. The stock now has only buy ratings, alongside an average analyst price target of $11.82 (7% upside potential). Shares are currently trading down 16% year-to-date.

UBS Upgrades Vale On Oil Prices, Cost Dilution
Weakness in iron ore prices is not a major concern for Vale SA (NYSE: VALE), while rising oil prices could act as the main catalyst for the stock, according to UBS.The Vale AnalystAndreas Bokkenheuser upgraded Vale from Neutral to Buy, while reducing the price target from $13 to $12.The Vale ThesisDespite the decline in iron ore prices to $60 per ton, missing expectations of $65-$87 per ton by a wide margin, Vale will not be significantly impacted, Bokkenheuser said in the note.He explained that the company's correlation with iron ore had declined to around 50% in recent years, while its correlation with crude oil had risen to more than 90%.The analyst noted three main reasons for the upgrade: 1. The energy team at UBS believes oil prices could rise to as much as $48 per barrel in 2021. Rising oil price may "lift the overall iron ore cost curve in support of prices and, in turn, Vale's shares," the analyst wrote. 2. Following the Brumadinho spill, Vale lost almost 100 million tons of iron ore production. This could result in significant cost dilution as the company ramps, partially offsetting lower iron ore prices. 3. Ramping production is likely to drive freight cost inflation, putting Vale at an advantage versus its peers with higher spot freight proportions.VALE Price ActionShares of Vale had risen almost 2.5% to $10.50 at the time of publication Wednesday.Related Links:10 Basic Materials Stocks Moving In Friday's Pre-Market SessionBenzinga's Top Upgrades, Downgrades For May 11, 2020Latest Ratings for VALE DateFirmActionFromTo May 2020RBC CapitalUpgradesSector PerformOutperform May 2020JP MorganMaintainsOverweight Apr 2020RBC CapitalMaintainsSector Perform View More Analyst Ratings for VALE View the Latest Analyst Ratings See more from Benzinga * Gilead Analyst: Coronavirus Drug, Arcus Collaboration Make Biopharma A Buy * Growth Is A Challenge For CBOE, JPMorgan Says In Downgrade * Slack Has Big Tailwind Amid Work-From-Home Shift, Cowen Says(C) 2020 Benzinga.com.
