Iron ore generates the overwhelming majority of its revenue.","The AI-relevant piece is Vale Base Metals, which holds its copper and nickel operations in Brazil, Canada, and Indonesia. Copper feeds the grid and data center buildout, while nickel supplies batteries, including the storage systems increasingly paired with data center power. Vale has been investing to lift base metals output after years of underperformance.","Founded in 1942 and headquartered in Rio de Janeiro, Vale employs about 66,000 people, and its American depositary shares trade on the NYSE.

Its copper output flows into the wiring and grid hardware behind data center growth, and its nickel can end up in the battery storage that supports data center power. But the connection is thin: iron ore for steelmaking dominates the business, and base metals remain a minority of revenue. Vale is a way to own commodity supply broadly, not the AI buildout specifically.","faq":[{"q":"What does Vale S.A. do?","a":"Vale is a Brazilian mining giant and one of the world's largest producers of iron ore and pellets, serving global steelmakers.
