Vale will temporarily halt operations at its São Luís and Tubarão I and II pellet plants starting Oct. 8 and Nov. 13 respectively, the company said in a news release.

An additional portion of the miner's iron ore production will be allocated to increase sinter feed supply, reducing pellet feed availability for the pelletizing process.
