A Federal Court suspended operations at a Vale mine in Minas Gerais following a leak, as reported by CNN Brasil in a post at approximately 3:15 AM UTC on February 10, 2026, within the reporting window from 2:15:57 AM to 4:15:41 AM UTC. The suspension came after a vazamento, or leak, at the mine, according to the CNN Brasil article linked in their official X post at https://www.cnnbrasil.com.br/nacional/sudeste/mg/justica-federal-suspende-mina-da-vale-apos-vazamento-em-mg/. No specific details on the leak's timing, volume, or environmental impact were provided in the source during this 1-hour-59-minute period. Vale, Brazil's largest mining company, operates multiple facilities in Minas Gerais, a state known for past mining incidents including the 2015 Mariana dam disaster and 2019 Brumadinho collapse, both involving Vale.
