CVRD — 2006 Production Report

WINNING ONE MORE BATTLE

Rio de Janeiro, March 7, 2007 — Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (CVRD) showed an excellent operational performance in 2006, achieving new records for the production of iron ore, bauxite, alumina, aluminium, copper, potash and kaolin.

In this report, for the first time we will be publishing information on the production of CVRD Inco, which has also set new refined nickel production records. For the sake of comparison, we are presenting data related to production of previous quarters for nickel, copper, cobalt, platinum and palladium.

The Company’s continuous production growth in the last few years, achieving a series of successive records, has been fundamental to exploit the opportunities generated by the long-cycle of minerals and metals. This has contributed to generating value for shareholders as well as thousands of jobs, creating a new and improved life prospect in the communities where we operate. At the same time, in a world in which these products are becoming increasingly scarce, this involves considerable efforts to satisfy the requirements of our clients.

CVRD’s iron ore production, under the concept of US GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States), reached a new record in 2006, of 264.2 million tons. This was an increase of 13.0% on 2005, when we produced 233.9 million tons.

Between 2001 and 2006, the Company’s production increased by an average annual rate of 14.6%, rising by 130 million tons over five years, which has contributed to consolidating the company’s leadership in the global iron ore market.

Production at Carajás in 4Q06 was already running at a rate of more than 85 million tons a year, setting a new quarterly record of 22.2 million tons, compared to the earlier record of 21.0 million tons in the previous quarter. For the year 2006, Carajás produced a total of 81.8 million tons, which is a new annual record.

The Southeastern System, which comprehends the Itabira, Mariana and Minas Centrais iron ore mines, in was responsible for the production of 96.6 million tons, representing 36.6% of the total produced by CVRD in 2006.

The rainy season in the state of Minas Gerais began earlier this year, with heavy rainfall in the fourth quarter of the year, rather than in the first quarter of the following year, which is usually the case. As a consequence


		*Production Report*

of this meteorological phenomenon, the volumes produced in 4Q06 in the Southeastern System and Southern System (MBR and Oeste mines) were down 1.3% and 9.7%, respectively, compared to the previous quarter.

The Southern System produced 84.3 million tons in 2006, up 20.6% compared to 2005.

Under the concept of US GAAP, which excludes the joint ventures (Samarco, Nibrasco, Kobrasco, Hispanobras and Itabrasco), pellet production in 2006 amounted to 14.2 million tons, compared to 16.4 million tons in 2005. This reduction was due to the shutdown of the São Luís pellet plant between April and July, due to inventory accumulation as a result of a slowdown in demand for pellets in the first half of 2006.

As global demand for pellets resumed growth, production in 4Q06 reached an all-time high of 4.4 million tons, up 11.4% on 3Q06, and 56,000 tons higher than the previous quarterly record in 4Q05, of 4.3 million tons. São Luís was run above its nominal capacity in the period, producing 1.7 million tons in the 4Q06. Blast furnace pellet production amounted to 1.5 million tons, while the volume of direct reduction pellets amounted to 2.9 million tons.

In 2006, 7.7 million tons of blast furnace pellets were produced, and 6.5 million tons of direct reduction pellets. In 4Q06 production of blast furnace pellets amounted to 1.5 million tons, and production of direct reduction pellets, 2.9 million tons.

Under the consolidation concept of BR GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in Brazil), whereby the volumes produced by the joint ventures are calculated in proportion to CVRD’s shareholding stake, production in 4Q06 amounted to 9.0 million tons of pellets, up 4.2% on the previous quarter. The amount produced in 2006 amounted to 33.2 million tons, compared to 33.4 million tons in 2005.

In 2006, restructuring of the manganese and alloy businesses was carried out with the aim of cutting costs and maximizing efficiency. In this context, inefficient furnaces were shut down, as well as some small manganese mines, while the Company also adopted the practice of combining ore from the Azul mine with that acquired from other producers, producing a blend capable of improving productivity in the alloy manufacturing process.


		*Production Report*

CVRD’s manganese ore production in 2006 amounted to 2.2 million tons, down 26.1% on 2005. The Azul mine in Carajás produced 1.7 million tons in the year.

Alloy production in 2006 amounted to 534,000 tons, lower than the level achieved in 2005, of 563,000 tons.

In 2006, alloy production consisted of 228,000 tons of ferrosilicon manganese alloys (FeSiMn), 219,700 tons of high-carbon ferro manganese alloys (FeMnAC), 52,100 tons of medium-carbon ferromanganese alloys (FeMnMC) and 23,400 tons of other types of alloy (CaSi). Production of cored wire (specialty alloys) at Dunkerque and São João Del Rei amounted to 11,300 tons.

In 4Q06, manganese production amounted to 576,000 tons, compared to 610,000 tons in 3Q06 and 614,000 tons in 4Q05. In this quarter, the Azul mine produced 444,000 tons, down 5.9% on the previous quarter.

As a consequence of the operational improvements that have resulted in productivity gains in the Thompson (Manitoba) and Sudbury (Ontario) mines and Clarabelle mill and the beginning of the optimization of feed flows at the Sudbury Basin as well as the ramp-up of Voisey’s Bay, production of refined nickel reached a new quarterly record of 69,000 tons in 4Q06.

Nickel output was up 21.5% on 3Q06, 4.2% higher than the previous quarterly record achieved in 4Q04, of 66,200 tons. All CVRD’s main operations achieved an increase in production in 4Q06, compared 3Q06, as part of the Company’s efforts to correct the disequilibrium between global nickel demand and supply.

Production in the Ontario operations increased by 38.2% in 4Q06, after the scheduled maintenance stoppage in 3Q06. Since then, the Copper Cliff refinery has been improving its performance, resulting in increased production of refined nickel.

Production at PT Inco, in Indonesia, recovered in 4Q06 after damage to an electric furnace in 2Q06, with production likely to return to full capacity in 1Q07.

Voisey’s Bay produced 13,500 tons in 4Q06, and 35,500 tons in 2006, making very good progress in its production ramp-up process.

On a pro forma basis, CVRD refined nickel output reached 250,600 tons in 2006, which should be a new annual record, beating the previous one of 236,800 tons, in 2004. The production in 2006 is also the largest quantity produced by a company in the world.

The production of copper in concentrate at the Sossego mine, Carajás, amounted to 33,300 tons in 4Q06, the highest production in its history, up 28.0% on 4Q05. The previous production record was obtained in 3Q06, of 32,000 tons.

For 2006, the Sossego mine produced 117,000 tons of copper contained in concentrates, up 10.2% on the previous year’s production, of 107,000 tons, setting a new yearly record.

The operations of CVRD Inco added 52,000 tons of refined copper to the Company’s production in 4Q06, so that total copper production amounted to 85,000 tons in this quarter.

In pro-forma terms, CVRD’s copper production amounted to 267,000 tons in 2006, up 12.8% on the previous year.

As a result of record ramp-up in stages 4 and 5, which expanded its nominal production capacity by 1.8 million tons, production at the Alunorte refinery in Barcarena reached a new annual production record of 3.9 million tons, up 53.2% on that produced in 2005.

The volume produced in 4Q06 reached a record level of 1.1 million tons, up 53.2% on 4Q05 and up 6.0% on the previous record obtained in 3Q06.

In 2006, CVRD’s production of kaolin reached a new record, of 1.4 million tons, up 11.1% on the previous record set in 2005, of 1.2 million tons. This was basically due to increased production at PPSA, which has been operating at full capacity since October 2005.

At PPSA, 597,000 tons were produced in 2006, up 15.6% on 2005, while at CADAM production amounted to 755,000 tons, showing a more moderate increase of 7.7%.

Production for the quarter amounted to 332,000 tons, down 2.7% on 4Q05.
