Mining company Vale expects to reach a final agreement with authorities for reparations for the collapse of the Samarco tailings dam by the end of the first half of this year, the company told Reuters in a statement on Wednesday.

A new proposal for an agreement was presented by the mining companies to the federal government and the states of Minas Gerais and Espirito Santo, two sources close to the negotiations told Reuters, without giving any figures.
