SÃO PAULO -- Brazilian mining giant Vale SA saw a slight decline in its production of iron ore in the second quarter, while the price of the commodity has recovered this year.

Vale, the world's largest iron-ore mining company, on Thursday said it produced 86.82 million tons of the commodity in the April-to-June period, down 2.8% from a year earlier, when it reached a record. Compared with the first quarter, the company's production of iron ore increased 12%.

So far this year, iron ore prices have increased more than 20%.

Meanwhile, Vale produced increased amounts of nickel and copper production in the second quarter.

Also the world's largest nickel producer, Vale's output of that base metal rose 17% in the second quarter to 78,500 metric tons. Production of copper was up 2.4% in the quarter at 107,400 tons.

Conversely, the company's coal output dropped 25.2% in the quarter to 1.5 million tons.
