Market Overview

Base metals, known as base metals, corrode, oxidize, or tarnish rather rapid when they come into contact with moisture or air. The market for high-purity base metals is expanding rapidly due to industry demands for materials with better performance, better conductivity, and increased chemical stability. Lead, copper, zinc, aluminium, and other base metals are purified by removing any impurities or other metals. In the electronics industry, high-purity aluminium is widely utilized in displays such as computers and televisions.

The proposed collaboration opens the door to the extraction of important orebodies rich in copper for our individual operations, which are otherwise lost to both businesses. The proposed 50/50 joint venture intends to access orebodies on each of our lands by utilizing Glencore's underutilized infrastructure.

Vale Base Metals and Glencore Canada announced in December 2025 that they had reached a deal to jointly assess a possible brownfield copper development project at their nearby Sudbury Basin sites. Vale Base Metals started running the second nickel processing furnace at the Onca Puma Mining Complex in southeastern Para, in September 2025. This greatly increased production capacity and better positioned the business for long-term growth and profitability.

The market for high-purity base metals is expected to grow steadily due to growing applications in high-tech sectors and encouraging developments in material sciences. The sector is well-positioned for robust future growth, with over 40% of R&D initiatives concentrating on improving purity levels and investigating new uses. The importance of these metals in next-generation technologies is highlighted by this trajectory.
