Vale SA plans spending spree
Vale SA plans to spend more than $10bn over the next five years to expand its operations in Canada, an investment that may soothe critics of the Brazilian mining giant’s track record in the country. The company said yesterday that the large-scale investments have already started and will ramp up during 2011. Vale bought the bulk of its Canadian operations through its $18.8bn acquisition of Inco in 2007.
