Vale says may expand Carajas Serra Sul mine, doubling output

Brazilian miner Valesaid on Tuesday it is considering doubling the output of its Carajas Serra Sul iron-ore mine in the northern part of the country after 2020, saying the move would allow it to cut the use of tailings dams.

One such dam, used to store the muddy, toxic mining debris, collapsed in late February, killing more than 230 people.
