Two years after Brazil mining disaster, no closure for victims or Vale 25 Jan 2021 / 23:03 H. By Leonardo Benassatto BRUMADINHO, Brazil, Jan 25 (Reuters) - Families of the roughly 270 victims of a Vale SA mining dam collapse in Brazil held protests and vigils on the disaster s second anniversary on Monday, raising pressure on the company as it struggles to settle legal claims. Firefighters are still searching for the bodies of 11 victims presumed lost in a torrent of mining sludge that buried a full cafeteria at lunchtime in the town of Brumadinho, Minas Gerais state, on Jan. 25, 2019. Excavators are digging through the muck at the site, with trucks hauling away loads of waste that firefighters say is up to 15 meters deep.

Brazil Miner Vale, State Authorities Narrow Differences in Disaster Settlement: Reuters Brazilian miner Vale SA and state authorities narrowed their gap in a potential settlement deal over the Brumadinho mining disaster to 11 billion reais ($2 billion) before talks fell apart, a person close to the negotiations told Reuters on Friday. The 2019 disaster in the town of Brumadinho in Minas Gerais state killed some 270 people when a dam ruptured at a Vale facility and unleashed a torrent of mining waste. The Minas Gerais state government lowered its demands for a settlement to 40 billion reais in a meeting with Vale on Thursday, down from the 54 billion reais in damages it previously sought, the source said, who spoke on condition of anonymity as the negotiations were closed.
