Reuters reported that major miner Vale SA (NYSE:VALE) has received an order allowing it to restart operations at its Brazil-based Onca Puma nickel mine.
Vale was ordered to halt operations at the mine back in August after a Brazilian federal court said, among other things, that it had to demonstrate the actions it’s taken to compensate local communities.
