SUDBURY, September 7, 2011 – Vale is embarking on a campaign to hire 60 new underground miners at its operations in Sudbury. The Company also currently has postings for a number of other jobs, including engineers, supervisors, surface plant operators and tradespeople.
“Vale is making unprecedented investments in our operations in the Sudbury Basin,” said Jon Treen, General Manager of Vale’s Ontario Operations. “As we continue to invest locally, we have a real need
for people to consider a rewarding career with our Company,” he added.
Last year, Vale announced investments of $3.4 billion in Sudbury to the end of 2015. These investments are aimed at re-building and modernizing assets, reducing emissions, extending the life of existing mines and finding new sources of ore to ensure Vale’s ongoing sustainability.
