Vale draws down $3bn in credit as it struggles to divest noncore assets

Iron-ore producer Vale has drawn down $3-billion from its $5-billion revolving credit facility to increase liquidity and bridge potential cash flow needs until the conclusion of its divestment programme, the company advised on Tuesday.
In particular, the company said it was struggling to conclude the sale of its Mozambique-based coal assets comprising Moatize and the Nacala logistics corridor.
