SAO PAULO – Brazilian miner Vale SA was fined about 86.3 million reais ($16.82 million) after the country’s comptroller general decided the firm did not present truthful informations on the conditions of its Brumadinho tailings dam prior to a 2019 disaster.

The mining giant said it did not agree with the decision and will appeal within the next 10 days.
