UVale umemezele ukuthi ngo-Ephreli 6, inkampani yayisingene esivumelwaneni ne-J & F Mining Co., Ltd. ("umthengi") olawulwa yi-J & F ngokuthengiswa kwe-minera çã ocorumbaense reunidas A.、MineraçãoMatoGrossoS. A. , internationalironcompany, Inc. kanye ne-transbargenavegaci ó nsociedadadan ó I-NIMA isayine isivumelwano esibophayo kuwo wonke amasheya akhishwe yinkampani. Le nkampani engenhla ine-iron ore, i-manganese ore kanye nempahla ye-logistics yesistimu yase-China yentshonalanga. Isivumelwano sibeka ukuthi umthengi uzothwala wonke amalungelo nezibopho zezivumelwano ze-logistics "zokuthatha noma ukukhokha" ngaphambi kwemvume yomlingani. Ngokwemibandela okuvunyelwene ngayo, ukuthengiselana kunenani elilinganiselwa ku-US $1.2 billion, kanti iqembu lezimpahla lifaka u-US $110 million ku-EBITDA elungisiwe yeVale ngo-2021. Ngemuva kokuthengiselana, iVale izothola cishe u-US $150 million bese idlulisela izibopho zenkontileka "yokuthatha noma ukukhokha" kanye nezinye izibopho ezihlobene nezimpahla zokuthengiselana kumthengi ngemvume yomlingani.
Umthengi uzoqhubeka nokusebenza ngesisekelo sokugcina bonke abasebenzi. Ukuqedwa kwale ntengiselwano kuncike ekwanelisekeni kwemibandela yangaphambi kwesikhathi, okuhlanganisa nokuvunyelwa yiKhomishini Yokuphatha yaseBrazil yokuvikela ezomnotho (i-Cade), i-ejensi kazwelonke yezokuthutha emanzini yaseBrazil (i-antaq), iKhomishini Yokuvikela Kazwelonke yaseBrazil (i-CDN) kanye nezinye iziphathimandla ezilawulayo.
Ngo-2021, uhlelo lwe-China West lwakhiqiza amathani ayizigidi ezingu-2.7 e-iron ore kanye namathani angu-200 000 e-manganese ore. Ukuthengiswa kwezimpahla zohlelo lwe-China West kuqondiswa ukwabiwa kwemali okuqinile, okuhambisana nesu lika-Vale lokwenza lula iphothifoliyo yokutshalwa kwezimali nokugxila emathubeni amakhulu ebhizinisi kanye nokukhula.
