Vale Plans Sale of Stake in Coal Operations

Reuters reported that Vale SA (NYSE:VALE) intends to sell a 15- to 25-percent stake in its coal operations as it works to bring in funding, cut capital commitments and help mitigate risk. The company has already seen interest from potential partners.

As quoted in the market  news:
