Vale said on Thursday that it has not reached a consensus with the Brazilian government and local land transport agency ANTT for the renegotiation of two railway concession contracts within a previously established deadline.

In a securities filing, Vale said the contracts for the Carajas and Vitoria-a-Minas railway concessions, which in 2020 had been extended until 2057, remain in effect.
