Vale expects to resume Brucutu mine operations within 72 hrs – filing

Brazilian iron-ore miner Vale said in a securities filing late on Tuesday that within 72 hours it expects to resume operations at the Brucutu mine, its largest in Minas Gerais state.

Brucutu was shuttered in early February by request of Minas Gerais state prosecutors after a tailings dam burst in late January in the town of Brumadinho, killing hundreds of people.
