SAO PAULO, July 13 (Reuters) - Brazilian miner Vale SA

said on Tuesday that it had finished decomissioning the Fernandinho dam, located in the Abóboras mine in the Vargem Grande complex, although it added that the work still needed to be approved by regulators.

Vale said the work is part of a program to decomission dams that used similar structures to the one in Brumadinho, a dam that burst in 2019 and killed over 200.
