Brazilian miner Vale expects to reach a deal in the coming days with northern Para state to resume activities at its Onca Puma nickel mine, the firm said in a statement on Thursday.
The mine had its operating license suspended earlier this year after Para’s environment department flagged irregularities in an annual environmental report.
Vale “hopes to conclude a deal in the coming days,” Vale told Reuters in a statement.
The Onca Puma mine accounted for around 10% of Vale’s total nickel production last year.
