Brazilian miner Vale is confident it will regain this year the position of the world’s largest iron ore producer, CEO Gustavo Pimenta said on Tuesday, a title it had lost to Rio Tinto in recent years.

“We are likely at our best in terms of operational performance right now,” Pimenta said during a mining conference in Salvador.
