SAO PAULO (Reuters) – Vale, BHP and their joint venture Samarco have presented Brazilian authorities with a settlement proposal related to reparations for the 2015 Mariana tailings dam burst, which killed 19 people and left hundreds homeless.
The proposal, the Brazilian mining giant said in a securities filing on Monday, foresees the total payment of 127 billion reais ($24.88 billion), including 37 billion reais already disbursed.
