    Brazil states ask court to double what Vale, BHP should pay for dam burst

    Two Brazilian states have asked a court to more than double the amount that miners Vale and BHP, plus a jointly owned tie-up, must pay in damages for a 2015 deadly tailings dam failure, according to a legal document seen by Reuters on Tuesday. In January, a Brazilian federal judge ruled that Vale, BHP and their joint venture Samarco must pay 47.6 billion reais in damages for the dam burst, a preliminary decision which prompted Vale and BHP to raise provisions related to the case. In late 2015, the collapse of the dam, near the town of Mariana, Minas Gerais, at the Samarco iron ore mine, caused a vast flow of mud and toxic mining waste that buried a nearby village, killing 19 people.
