Part I

(Expressed in thousands of reais)

1-     Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Operating Results for Nine
       Months Ended September 30, 2001 Compared with Nine Months Ended
       September 30, 2000


1.1-   General Aspects

Due to the diversified nature of the Company's operations, the following
factors should be taken into consideration in order to permit an adequate
analysis:

(a)    The level of demand for iron ore and pellets and for our third-party
       transportation services. In relation to iron ore export sales are
       generally made pursuant to long-term supply contracts which provide for
       annual price adjustments. Cyclical changes in the world demand for steel
       products affect sales prices and volumes in the world iron ore market.
       Different factors, such as the iron content of specific ore deposits,
       the various beneficiation and purifying processes required to produce
       the desired final product, particle size, moisture content, and the type
       and concentration of contaminants (such as phosphorus, alumina and
       manganese) in the ore influence contract prices for iron ore. Contract
       prices also depend on transportation costs. Fines, lump ore and pellets
       command different prices. We generally conduct annual price negotiations
       from November to February of each year, with separate prices established
       for the Asian and European iron ore markets. In the Asian market, the
       renegotiated prices are effective as of April of each year. In the
       European market, the renegotiated prices are effective as of January of
       each year. Because of the wide variety of iron ore and pellet quality
       and physical characteristics, iron ore and pellets are less
       commodity-like than other minerals. This factor combined with the
       structure of the market has prevented the development of an iron ore
       futures market. Nowadays we do not hedge our exposure to iron ore price
       volatility. Concerning logistics, CVRD is a lider in brazilian
       transportation sector; we have extensive experience managing complex
       logistics operations. Built originally to serve our iron ore business,
       our logistics system includes our 898 km Vitoria-Minas Railroad and
       Tubarao and Praia Mole ports in the Southern System, and our 892 km
       Carajas Railroad and Ponta da Madeira marine terminal in the Northern
       System. In addition, in the last five years we have acquired stakes in
       three privatized railroads, including Centro-Atlantica, which
       interconnects with the Vitoria-Minas Railroad using the same track
       gauge, and therefore leverages its volumes. We made these investments to
       expand our third-party cargo business. The principal cargo of the
       Vitoria-Minas railroad is the transportation of our own iron ore and
       other Brazilian mining companies, steel, coal and pig iron carried for
       steel manufacturers located along the railroad, and limestone carried
       for steel mills located in the States of Minas Gerais and Espirito
       Santo. Market rates vary based upon the distance traveled and the
       density of the freight in question;

(b)    Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the two currencies have a
       significant impact on the operating cash flows ;

(c)    Approximately 95% of the short-term and long-term loans of the Company
       as of 09/30/01 are denominated in U.S. dollars. As a result, exchange
       rate fluctuations have a significant impact on the financial expenses
       (Notes 6.11 and 6.19);

(d)    The variations of the main currencies and indices during the nine months
       ended 09/30/01 and 09/30/00 in terms of percentages in relation to the
       real, which impacted the results of the Company and its subsidiaries,
       jointly controlled companies and affiliates, were as follows:

1.2-   Comments on the Parent Company Results

The net income of the Company for the period was R$ 2,411,580 (R$ 1,205,898 in
the first semester and R$ 1,205,682 in the third quarter) a 50.7% increase over
the R$ 1,600,329 reported for the same period of 2000, raising the earnings per
share to R$ 6.28 in 2001 from R$ 4.16 in 2000.

1.2.1- Operating Revenues

Operating revenues increased 27.7% (from R$ 3,765,045 in 2000 to R$ 4,806,738
in 2001). The increase in revenues reflects the strengthening of the U.S.
dollar against the real as well as a growth in iron ore and pellets sales
volume, offset in part by a decrease in the volumes of other products and
services. Increase in iron ore sales is due to SOCOIMEX incorporation and the
leasing of mines owned by SAMITRI (06/01). The operations mentioned above
though do not mean decrease in total revenues, caused change with railroad and
port services revenues, and these were basically substituted by the
commercialization of iron ore. The reduction in manganese sales volumes is
compensated by an increase in the sales of SIBRA (a subsidiary) due to capital
contribution in 12/31/00 of the Azul manganese mine.

The table below shows sales volume and revenues by products and services:

1.2.2- Cost of Products and Services

Increase of 29.8% in cost of products and services (from R$ 1,827,167 in 2000
to R$ 2,370,915 in 2001) resulting from the incorporation of SOCOIMEX mines,
leasing of SAMITRI mines (may/01), revision of depreciation rates (note 6.3
(g)), as well as expenses with reform of equipments, trucks and locomotives are
monthly provisioned, getting its impact along the period they are done.
Besides, increase in fuel oil prices and consumption, the devaluation of the
real against the U.S. dollar and increased purchase of pellets for resale also
contributed for the increase.

1.2.3- Result of Investments Participations

Through 09/30/01 equity earnings represented approximately -2.5% of net income
(38.5% in 09/30/00), decreasing from a gain of R$ 615,619 in 09/30/00 to (R$
59,875) in 09/30/01. This variation was basically due to a combination of the
following factors:

o      Recognition of equity income of R$ 107,522 on the unwinding of the cross
       participation between CVRD and CSN.

o      The positive effects of the 36.6% devaluation of the real against the
       U.S. dollar in 2001 (as compared to 3.1% in the same period of 2000) in
       the companies operating abroad, offset by the negative effects in the
       companies in Brazil with debt denominated in U.S. dollars as well as
       reduction in prices and quantities sold for aluminum and steel products.

o      Since this quarter recognition of provison for losses and integral
       amortization of the goodwill of investments with unsecured liability.

       ton in 2001 against US$ 1,940.44 per ton in 2000) and by an increase in
       costs of approximately 17%.

o      ALUVALE - Reduction in the equity result (own operations) of R$ 24,047
       mainly due to the recognition in 2000 of a R$ 24,593 gain in

6.1-   Operations

Companhia Vale do Rio Doce - CVRD is a publicly traded corporation whose
predominant activities are mining, processing and sale of iron ore, pellets,
gold, manganese and potash, as well as port and railroad transportation
services. In addition, through its direct and indirect subsidiaries and jointly
controlled companies, CVRD operates in coastal shipping, logistics, geological
studies and technological research services, steel, aluminum, energy and
e-business.

6.2-   Presentation of Quarterly Information

The financial statements have been prepared according to the accounting
principles provided for in Brazilian corporate legislation as well as the rules
and guidelines issued by the Comissao de Valores Mobiliarios - CVM (Brazilian
Securities Commission) and the IBRACON - Instituto dos Auditores Independentes
do Brasil (Institute of Independent Accountants of Brazil).

In order to provide better information to the market, the Company is presenting
as additional information the Statements of Cash Flows as shown on page 12.

Certain amounts and classifications in the 2000 financial statements have been
adjusted to the criteria used in 2001 for better comparability (Note 6.23).
Other values with no relevant effect were also reclassified on the financial
statements for the same purpose.

6.3-   Significant Accounting Policies

(a)  The accrual basis of accounting is adopted by the Company;

(b)  Assets and liabilities that are realizable or due more than twelve months
     after the quarterly information date are classified as long-term;

(c)  Marketable securities are classified as cash and cash equivalents and
     stated at cost plus accrued income earned through the quarterly
     information date;

(d)  Inventories are stated at average purchase or production cost, and imports
     in transit at the cost of each item, not exceeding market or net
     realizable value;

(e)  Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at exchange
     rates in effect at the quarterly information date, and those in local
     currency are restated based on contractual indices;

(f)  Investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled companies and affiliated
     companies are accounted for by the equity method, based on the
     stockholders' equity of the investees, and when applicable
     increased/decreased by goodwill and negative goodwill to be amortized and
     provision for losses. Other investments are recorded at cost, less
     provision for unrealized losses when applicable; and

(g)  Property, plant and equipment, including interest incurred during the
     construction period of large-scale projects, are recorded at historic cost
     (increased by monetary restatement up to 1995) and depreciated by the
     straight-line method, at rates that take into consideration the useful
     lives of the assets. Depletion of mineral reserves is computed by the
     unit-of-production method. Since 2001 the Company, based on technical
     studies, concluded for the revision of useful lives (depreciation rates)
     of certain equipments/installations. The effects of such revision are
     reflected in inventories and, mainly, in the results of 2001, which were
     reduced by R$ 92 million.

The realization of tax credits arising from temporary differences occurs at the
time of effective payment of the provisions made, in accordance with tax law.

In addition to the credits recorded, the Company has a lawsuit pending claiming
an additional 51.83% monetary restatement for tax purposes applied to the
months of January and February 1989 ("Plano Verao" monetary plan). It has
already obtained an injunction for compensation of credits corresponding to
42.72% instead of the 51.83% requested. The amount of these credits covered by
the injunction total approximately R$ 444,000, and the accounting effects have
not yet been recognized in the financial statements.


The amounts reported as income tax and social contribution which affected
income for the period are as follows:

(j)  The consolidated shareholding in Vale do Rio Doce Aluminio S.A. - ALUVALE
     is 100.0% (the subsidiary Itabira Rio Doce Company Limited - ITACO owns
     5.26% of the capital);

(k)  On 01/24/01 CVRD announced its intention to incorporate the shares of S.A.
     Mineracao Trindade - SAMITRI . With this operation, the Company is seeking
     a gain in efficiency by reducing costs and rationalizing activities. On
     02/19/01 an Extraordinary General Meeting approved the incorporation of
     the shares. Due to the incorporation of the shares issued by SAMITRI, the
     minority stockholders received preferred class A shares issued by CVRD,
     which were in treasury, in the proportion of 1 CVRD share to 628 SAMITRI
     shares;

     On 08/01/01 an Extraordinary General Meeting approved the protocol and
     justification for incorporation of Mineracao Trindade S. A. - SAMITRI. On
     10/01/01 SAMITRI was merged with CVRD.

(l)  On 03/15/01 CVRD terminated its investment in Companhia Siderurgica
     Nacional ("CSN") by unwinding the cross participation relationship between
     the companies. This transaction created the opportunity to address the
     following questions:

     (1)  The signing of a contract with CSN which guarantees to the Company
          certain preemptive rights, for a period of thirty years, as follows:
          (a) purchase of any iron ore surplus produced by the Casa de Pedra
          mine; (b) the leasing and acquisition of the Casa de Pedra mine; (c)
          the development of a pelletizing plant supplied by iron ore produced
          by the Casa de Pedra mine, if CSN decides to enter into a joint
          venture with third parties. Conversely, CSN has the right of
          preference in constructing, in conjunction with the Company, any
          greenfield steel making project which the

18


          Company decides to set up under its own control over the next five
          years;

     (2)  The transfer to VALIA of its interest in CSN (10.33% of CSN total
          capital), (which will not participate in the CSN shareholders'
          agreement). These shares were valued at approximately R$ 520 million,
          R$ 70.22 per lot of 1000 shares, based on the weighted average price
          of the last thirty trading sessions at BOVESPA in the period ended on
          03/09/01. This transaction generated a gain for the Company,
          eliminates VALIA's actuarial deficit and significantly increases the
          Company's borrowing capacity; and

     (3)  This operation resulted in a gain on investments accounted for by the
          equity method of R$ 107,522 and a gain of R$ 10,406 on the sales of
          shares to VALIA, which is recorded as "others - result of investments

6.16 - Pension Plan

Fundacao Vale do Rio Doce de Seguridade Social - VALIA is a non-profit legal
entity established in 1973 for the purpose of supplementing the social security
benefits of the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliated
companies that participate or will participate in the plan.

On 12/28/99 the Secretariat of Complementary Social Security, through Rule No.
866-SPC/COJ, approved a new Mixed-Benefits Plan. This plan, which was
implemented in the second quarter of 2000, is based on the most modern concepts
of private pension plans; programmed benefits are based on defined
contributions not associated with the government social security benefits, and
those entailing risks have the characteristic of defined benefit. A plan for
deferred benefits upon severance ("vesting") was also introduced, allowing
participants to remain


                                                                              23



associated without the obligation for future contributions. Another advantage
offered by the new plan is that it allows full repayment of all employee
contributions in case of leaving the plan, along with up to 80% of the
sponsor's contributions, plus gains on investments.

Over 98% of active employees migrated to the new plan, thus requiring an
actuarial appraisal of the new situation, using the group evaluation
methodology of the former Defined Benefit Plan.

This appraisal, conducted by independent actuaries, found a deficit in the
mathematical reserves of the old plan, whose value was assumed by CVRD, as
previously foreseen, up to the limit stated in the Company's privatization
rules (disclosed through a "relevant fact" in the Official Gazette of
04/11/97).

This deficit amounted to R$ 489,531 as of 04/30/00 (the final date for closing
the plan to new entrants), to be amortized over 20 years, subject to monetary
restatement by the IGP-DI index and interest of 6% per annum.

Accordingly, considering that this deficit was formed over many years since
VALIA's inception, CVRD recognized its portion up to 12/31/99 as a liability in
the amount of R$ 472,847 and charged retained earnings with R$ 312,079 (net of
tax effects corresponding to R$ 160,768), recorded as long-term assets under
deferred income tax and social contribution.

On 12/31/00 the balance totaled R$ 520,618, recorded as related party
liabilities with VALIA, R$ 28,551 in current liabilities and R$ 492,067 in
long-term liabilities . On 03/15/01 the Company settled its obligation by
transferring the total of its interest (10.33%) in CSN to VALIA. (Note 6.9 (l))


6.17 - Capital

The Company's capital consists of 388,559,056 shares, of which 249,983,143 are
common shares, 138,575,912 are preferred shares, and one is a special preferred
share ("Golden Share"), all with no par value.

Preferred shares have the same rights as common shares, except for the right to
elect the members of the Board of Directors. They have priority to a minimum
annual dividend of 6% on the portion of capital represented by this class of
share.

The special "Golden Share" created during the privatization in 1997 belongs to
the Brazilian Government. This share gives it the right to a permanent veto of
changes in the Company's name, headquarters location, nature as a mining
enterprise, continuous operation of the integrated iron ore systems, mining,
transportation and shipping and other matters determined in the by-laws.

The Extraordinary General Meeting held on 04/25/01 approved the increase of
capital from R$ 3 billion to R$ 4 billion, without issue of new shares, through
the capitalization of reserves in the amount of R$ 1 billion.

On 09/30/01 the Company's capital is comprised as follows:

6.20 - Derivative Financial Instruments

Volatility of interest rates, exchange rates and commodity prices are the main
market risks to which we are exposed - all three are managed through derivative
operations. These have the exclusive aim of reducing exposure to risk. We do
not use derivatives for speculation purposes.


                                                                             25



We monitor and evaluate our derivative positions on a regular basis and adjust
our strategy in response to market conditions. We also periodically review the
credit limits and credit worthiness of our counter-parties in these
transactions. In view of the policies and practices established for operations
with derivatives, management considers the occurrence of non-measurable risk
situations as unlikely.

All derivatives have been adjusted to fair market value at quarterly
information date and the change included in current earnings. For the period
ended 09/30/01 the movement of unrealized gains or losses on derivative
financial instruments is as follows:

                                                              Net Gains (Losses)

Final maturity dates    December 2005     October 2007   April 2005


(a)    Interest Rate and Exchange Rate Risk

       Interest rate risks mainly relate to that part of the debt borrowed at
       floating rates. The foreign currency debt is largely subject to
       fluctuations in the London Interbank Offered Rate - LIBOR. That portion
       of local currency denominated debt that is subject to floating rates is
       linked to the Long Term Interest Rate - TJLP, fixed quarterly by the
       Brazilian Central Bank. Since May 1998, we have used derivative
       instruments to protect overselves against fluctuations in the LIBOR
       rate.

       There is an exchange rate risk associated with our foreign currency
       denominated debt. On the other hand, a substantial proportion of our
       revenues are denominated in, or automatically indexed to, the U.S.
       dollar, while the majority of costs are expressed in reais. This
       provides a natural hedge against any devaluation of the Brazilian real
       against the U.S. dollar. When events of this nature occur, the immediate
       negative impact on foreign currency denominated debt is offset over time
       by the positive effect of devaluation on future cash flows.
       With the advent of a floating exchange rate regime in Brazil in January
       1999, we adopted a strategy of monitoring market fluctuations, using
       derivatives to protect against specific risks from exchange rate
       variation.

       From time to time we enter into foreign exchange derivative swap
       transactions seeking to change the characteristics of our
       real-denominated cash investments to US dollar-indexed instruments. The
       extent of such transactions depends on our perception of market and
       currency risk, but is never speculative in nature. All such operations
       are marked-to-market at quarterly information date and the effect
       included in financial income or expense. During the nine months ended
       09/30/01 our use of such instruments was not significant.


(b)    Commodity Risk

       We also use derivative instruments to manage exposure to changing gold
       prices. Derivatives allow the fixing of an average minimum profit level
       for future gold production. However, they may also have the effect of
       eliminating potential gains on certain price increases in the spot
       market for gold. We manage our contract positions actively, and the
       results are reviewed at least monthly, allowing adjustments to targets
       and strategy to be made in response to changing market conditions.

       In the case of gold derivatives, our policy has been to settle all
       contracts through cash payments or receipts, without physical delivery
       of product.

Result

The net result of SAMITRI for the first nine months of 2001 was a net income of
R$ 518 against a net income of R$ 48.215 for the same period of 2000.

Despite the increase in sales, the result for the first quarter of 2001 was
substantially affected by the appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the real,
impacting positively on export revenue but negatively on the debt of SAMITRI
and its affiliate SAMARCO.

In the third quarter of 2001, SAMITRI did not have any activities in the
production and sale of iron ore, only maintaining the leasing of its mines to
CVRD.

Investments

Investments are budgeted for 2001 only for replacement of the production
capacity, research and environment.

Leasing

According to an agreement relating to mineral rights and assets and facilities
signed on 04/10/01, since 05/01/01 CVRD has operated SAMITRI's mines. On the
other hand, CVRD will pay SAMITRI based on a monthly fixed amount agreed by
both parties in the amount of R$ 2,763. The agreement was registered at
"Departamento Nacional de Producao Mineral - DNPM", the National Mineral
Production Department, through Relation n 272/2001.

Incorporation

On October 1, 2001 SAMITRI was merged with CVRD (note 6.9 (k)).

Report of Independent Accountants on Limited Review

October 22, 2001

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Companhia Vale do Rio Doce



1    We have carried out limited reviews of the Quarterly Financial Information
     - ITR of Companhia Vale do Rio Doce for the quarters ended September 30,
     2001 and 2000. This financial information is the responsibility of the
     Company's management.

2    Except as mentioned in paragraph three, our limited reviews were carried
     out in accordance with the specific procedures established by the IBRACON
     - Brazilian Institute of Independent Accountants, in conjunction with the
     Federal Accounting Board, and consisted mainly of: (a) inquires and
     discussion with the officers responsible for the Company's accounting,
     financial and operational areas about the procedures adopted for preparing
     the Quarterly Financial Information - ITR, and (b) review of the
     information and subsequent events which have, or may have, relevant
     effects on the Company's financial position and operations.

3    The financial statements at September 30, 2001 and 2000, of subsidiary,
     jointly-owned and associated companies, in which there are relevant
     investments, have not been reviewed by independent accountants. Thus, the
     conclusions resulting from our reviews do not cover the amounts of R$
     8,659,589 thousand (2000 - R$ 6,304,552 thousand) of these investments and
     R$ 1,169,439 thousand (2000 - R$ 297,231 thousand) of the income produced
     by them for the quarters then ended.

4    Based on our limited reviews, except for the effects of any adjustments
     which might have been required if the financial statements of the
     subsidiary, jointly-owned and associated companies mentioned in paragraph
     3 had been reviewed by independent accountants, we are not aware of any
     relevant adjustments which should be made to the Quarterly Financial
     Information - ITR, referred to in paragraph 1, for it to be in accordance
     with the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission - CVM
     specifically applicable to the preparation of obligatory Quarterly
     Financial Information - ITR.

5    The Quarterly Financial Information - ITR also contains accounting and
     financial information relating to the quarter ended June 30, 2001. We
     reviewed this information at the time of its preparation and issued our
     respective report on July 18, 2001, including the limitation mentioned in
     paragraph 3.

Press Release 3Q01


COMPANHIA VALE DO RIO DOCE
PERFORMANCE IN THE THIRD QUARTER
OF 2001 (3Q01)


Rio de Janeiro, November 12, 2001 -- Companhia Vale do Rio Doce
(CVRD) posted a solid R$ 1.206 billion net earnings in 2Q01, equal to
earnings per share of R$ 3.15, a historical record.

The gains with the sale of Cenibra, a strategic movement to focus on
mining, logistics and power generation, contributed to this result.

Accumulated earnings for the first nine months of 2001 amounted to R$
2.412 billion, 50.8% higher than the R$ 1.600 billion achieved in the same
period of last year.

3Q01 EBITDA reached an all time high of R$ 986 million. In the first nine
months of 2001 EBITDA was R$2.450 billion, 37.2 % higher than in the
same period of 2000. 3Q01 EBITDA margin was 55.5%, an all time high.

Consolidated gross revenue for the first nine months of 2001 was R$ 9.016
billion. Sales of iron ore and pellets were responsible for 54% of that
amount.

During the same period, volumes of consolidated sales of iron ore and
pellets reached 104.1 million tonnes.

CVRD exports reached US$ 2.448 billion in the first nine months of 2001,
accounting for 5.5% of total Brazilian exports.

CVRD delivered a stronger financial and operational performance despite
the slowdown in the global economy. The quality of its world class asset
base is key to weather the current global recession throughout the next
quarters.




[GRAPHIC OMITTED] THE MACROECONOMIC SCENARIO AND ITS EFFECTS ON CVRD


                                                                              2
[GRAPHIC OMITTED]  Companhia                                 Press Release 3Q01
                   Vale do Rio Doce

A global recession but growth prospects are well alive

Even prior to September 11, macroeconomic developments already pointed to
weaker growth in every region of the globe. The synchronized slowdown has
reflected the strong global linkages among the developed economies and between
them and the developing economies, the continued weakness in the information
technology sector, the deteriorating situation in Japan and worsening financing
conditions for emerging markets.

The United States had been the unquestioned driver of global growth since 1995.
Now, with the broadening of the economic slowdown, the world economy found
itself without a growth engine.

The estimates indicate that the world economy is suffering its fifth recession
in the last thirty years -- 1975, 1982, 1991, 1998 and 2001.

While the near-term outlook is downbeat, despite the existing risks and
uncertainties derived from the war against terrorism, there is a reasonable
prospect for a global recovery to start by the end of 1H02.

There are a number of reasons for cautious optimism.

First, the main central banks of the world eased their monetary policies,
acting much earlier than in previous cycles. The US short term interest rate is
the lowest since 1962 and it is negative in real terms. There is room for
additional easing, the main opportunities lie with the ECB and the BOJ. On the
fiscal side, there is a sizable policy stimulus in the United States.

Second, economic activity is likely to be bolstered by the abatement of the
food and oil price shocks.

Third, economic fundamentals across the globe are stronger than they were a few
years ago, reflected in lower inflation, greater monetary policy credibility
and more balanced public budgets. In many emerging markets, in a sharp contrast
with 1997/98, more flexible exchange rate regimes are in place and external
vulnerabilities were reduced, with smaller current account deficits and greater
reliance on foreign direct investment flows than on short term speculative
flows.

Although the iron ore market is reasonably stable, the deepening of the global
economic slowdown is potentially harmful to CVRD's performance. On the other
hand, the continued weakness of the Brazilian Real (BRL) contributes to
increase its margins, cash flow generation and return on invested capital.
Additionally, an undervalued BRL stimulates export growth and, therefore, the
demand for railroad and port services, one of the main CVRD businesses.


Iron ore and metals markets

Global steel output has fallen only marginally and the demand for iron ore
remained strong. According to the International Institute for Steel and Iron
(IISI), in the first nine months of 2001 steel production reached 620.0 million
tonnes against 620.7 million tonnes in the same period of last year. US
production has declined substantially, 11.4%, while in Asia it was up 4.6%.
Japanese production declined 1.3%, with China and Taiwan showing the highest
increases, 10.1% and 12.5%, respectively. In the European Union, there was a
slight output reduction of 1.6%.

However, since there is a close correlation between global steel crude
production and global industrial production, we could expect supply cutbacks in
the near future. In the last global recessions, 1991 and 1998, global crude
steel production showed a similar pattern: moderate cutbacks, distributed over
the recession year and the following. In 1991, reduction was 4.7% followed by a
1.9% cut in 1992. In 1998, the production cut was smaller, 2.8%, followed by an
additional 0.7% in 1999.

The main impact of the global steel downcycle on the demand for iron ore is a
shift towards lower priced products. According to the IISI, global direct
reduced iron (DRI) production, used in mini-mills, in the first nine months of
2001 is 8.4% lower than in the same period of last year. This development has a
negative effect on the demand for direct reduction pellets, the highest priced
iron ore product. Blast furnace mills are switching demand out of blast furnace
pellets to iron ore fines. Therefore, the demand for pellets is slowing down
and it will bear most of the burden of the negative outlook for steel.

CVRD pellet production is expected to remain at levels below its nominal
capacity throughout the next three quarters. The sales of Samarco, an
affiliated company, were the first to be hurt by the negative economic
environment, declining, on a quarter over quarter basis, since 1Q01.

On the positive side, there are two factors. China demand for steel has
remained firm and growing substantially. At the same time, in order to boost
productivity, it is relying more and more on imported iron ore: on an
annualized basis, iron ore imports over the January to September 2001 period
reached 88.4 million tonnes, showing a dramatic 26% increase over year 2000
purchases of 70 million tonnes. In the early nineties, Chinese imports
represented only 7.5% of global seaborne trade. It is


                                                                              3

likely that its market share will amount to approximately 20% this year.
According to some estimates, China is forecast to import 130 million tonnes in
2005. CVRD managed to increase its penetration into this fast growing market as
evidenced by the long term contract with Baosteel, the largest Chinese
steelmaker.

The slowing of global trade flows is diminishing temporarily CVRD geographic
disadvantage in the Asian market. Brazil-Australia freight differential into
Asia is currently at the lower end of its normal range, providing CVRD more
opportunities to supply the Asian market, given the superior quality and
diversification of its iron ore products.

Although a capacity of almost 2.0 million tonnes per year remains idled due to
power shortages in the United States (Pacific Northwest), Canada and Brazil,
aluminum price levels are the lowest since mid-1999, given concerns over the
outlook for consumption.

The Economist Metals Price Index, which comprises aluminum, copper, nickel,
zinc, lead and tin prices, reached in the last few days its lowest level since
1993. At that time, it had reached the bottom of the downward trend started
with the emergence of the 1991 global recession.

Gold prices reacted positively in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks.
However, this price hike looks like much more a spike than the beginning of an
upward trend, replicating the pattern showed in the aftermath of the Iraqi
invasion of Kuwait in 1990/91. Inflation rates are at low levels worldwide,
central banks credibility as inflation fighters are at a historical high and
the weak global economic environment has a negative impact on jewelry demand,
which represents an important component of the demand for gold.

CVRD aluminum and gold low cash costs and its hedging policy are helping to
weather the storm in metals prices. However, the electricity rationing
mandatory aluminum production curtailments, 48,000 tonnes at Albras and 11,000
tonnes at Valesul, are hurting the operating performance of its aluminum
division.

The recovery of global GDP growth will face a limited supply growth of primary
aluminum, with brownfield additions partially offset by likely permanent
smelter closures, thereby bringing opportunities for a solid price recovery.

Electricity rationing in the North of Brazil is expected to be abolished by
year end, reducing CVRD electricity costs in the iron ore, manganese, gold and
kaolin mining operations and freeing Albras to resume its normal operations at
a pace of 407,000 tonnes per year. Electricity saving targets for the Southeast
region are expected to be relaxed in early 2002, lowering electricity costs in
CVRD iron ore and pellets in the Southern System and allowing Valesul and the
ferro-alloys subsidiary CPFL to increase production.


[GRAPHIC OMITTED]    CONSOLIDATED SELECTED INDICES



Sales of iron ore and pellets: 104.1 million tons

CVRD plans to start releasing consolidated quarterly financial statements in
1Q02. In this release, there is some information, referring to sales volumes,
revenues and exports at the consolidated level.

Consolidated iron ore and pellet sales comprised of: (a) sales realized by CVRD
and the joint venture companies - Nibrasco, Itabrasco, Kobrasco and
Hispanobras; and (b) sales by subsidiaries and affiliates, calculated in
proportion to the stake held in the company by CVRD. The volume of consolidated
sales is net of inter-company transactions within the CVRD group, such as, for
example, the sale of pellet feed by the Parent Company to the joint venture
pellet companies. This volume amounted to 5.3 million tons in 3Q01 and 15.3
million tons in the first nine months of 2001.

In the first nine months of this year, the accumulated consolidated sales of
104.1 million tons was 21.7% higher than the same period in 2000. Acquisitions
carried out by CVRD -- Socoimex, Samitri, Samarco, GIIC and Ferteco --
contributed to 18% of sales in 2001, 18.7 million tons, compared to 9% in the
first nine months of the year.

In 2001, 88.5 million tons - 85% of consolidated sales - were to external
markets. The percentage sold to the domestic market in the last two years has
remained practically constant for each quarter, at around 15%.

Consolidated iron ore and pellet sales volume amounted to 35.8 million tons in
3Q01 and was the largest quarterly volume in CVRD's history.

In the third quarter, consolidated iron ore sales increased 6.8% on the
previous quarter, and 17.2% compared with the same period a year earlier.

Consolidated pellet sales in 3Q01 fell 15.6% and 8.2%, compared to 2Q01 and
3Q00, respectively -

reflecting a cyclical change in the demand profile for iron ore. Japan, for
example has cut its total imports of lump ore and pellets by 10.7% for the
first nine months of 2001, when compared with the same period a year earlier,
while purchases of iron ore fines fell by only 2.2%.

  EXPORTS OF US$ 2.446 BILLION



CVRD's consolidated gross revenues for the period January to September 2001
amounted to R$ 9.016 billion. The breakdown of the main items that made up
these revenues was as follows: iron ore and pellets (53.6%), transport services
(13.0%), aluminum (10.5%), steel (10.5%) and manganese and ferro alloys (5.3%).
Exports totalling US$ 2.446 billion accounted for 62% of total revenues, sales
by subsidiaries and foreign affiliates, 15.1% and 22.9% to the domestic market.
Thus 84.9% of CVRD's consolidated revenues was denominated in U.S. dollars.

[GRAPHIC OMITTED]  CVRD 3Q01 RESULTS

Record net quarterly earnings: R$ 1.206 billion

The net profit achieved in 3Q01, of R$ 1.206 billion, was 2.2 times that
reported in the previous quarter and 2.4 times the result reported in 3Q00. For
the first nine months of 2001, accumulated earnings amounted to R$ 2.412
billion, 50.8% higher than the same period last year and 13.1% more than that
recorded for the whole of 2000 (R$ 2.133 billion).

On an annualized basis, return on equity (ROE) in 2001 amounted to 28.2%
against 20.2% in 2000.

Gross margin widened from 47.7% in 2Q01 to 51.4% in 3Q01, the highest since
2Q00. Net operating revenues rose by R$ 237 million, while the cost of goods
sold (COGS) increased by R$ 58 million.

Power rationing was an influencing factor in pushing up COGS. Increases in
costs of contracted services - up by R$ 21.2 million, and consumption of fuel
oil - up by R$ 15.3 million, were partially explained by the rent and use of
diesel oil electricity generators.

The evolution of operational revenues

The Parent Company's net operating revenues amounted to R$ 1.778 billion in the
third quarter, compared to R$ 1.541 billion in 2Q01 and R$ 1.264 billion in
3Q00, reflecting the positive impact of exchange rate devaluation and the
growth in iron ore sales. In the first nine months of 2001, the net revenue
achieved of R$ 4.640 billion, was 27.8% higher than that reported in the same
period in 2000, which saw revenues of R$ 3.632 billion.

Gross revenue in the third quarter from pellet and iron ore sales amounted to
R$ 1.423 billion, up 21.5% on the previous quarter, and up 57.8% YoY.

Iron ore and pellet sales volumes in the Parent Company amounted to 34.8
million tons of in 3Q01, 11.5% higher than the previous quarter and up 16.7% on
3Q00. From June 2001, Samitri's iron ore sales were handled by CVRD.

Sales by the Parent Company consisted of: (a) iron ore sales, including pellet
feed to joint venture companies (JVs); and (b) the sale of pellets produced by
CVRD's two pellet plants and those pellets acquired from the JVs. In 3Q01, CVRD
purchased 2.3 million tons of pellets from the JVs, which brought total pellet
purchases in the first nine months of 2001 to 7.6 million tons, compared to 7.0
million tons in the same period last year.

The average sales price for iron ore and pellets in 3Q01 amounted to US$16.68
per ton, slightly higher than that recorded in 2Q01 - of US$ 16.04 per ton and
in 3Q00 -- of US$16.31 per ton. The rise in average sales prices was lower than
the 2001 increase in reference prices due to the change in product mix.

The 3.6 million ton increase in the sales of iron ore and pellets in the third
quarter, compared to 2Q01, was in part due to expansion seen in Asian markets.
China's foreign purchases of iron ore in 3Q01, which amounted to 24.2 million
tons, were up 7.8% on the previous quarter. CVRD's exports to China doubled
from 2.8 million to 5.6 million tons, comparing the same two periods. China,
therefore, became the Parent Company's main iron ore market in 3Q01, exceeding
sales to Brazilian steel plants -- 5.2 million tons -- and Japan -- 4.3 million
tons.

In the first nine months of this year, CVRD's sales to China jumped 76.9%
compared to the same period in 2000. This reflected CVRD's successful marketing
policy in exporting to the world's fastest growing economy - China has
increased its iron ore imports by an annual average of 15% during the period
1992/2001.

General cargo (all cargo except for iron ore and pellets) transported by CVRD's
railroads of Carajas and Vitoria to Minas - amounted to 3.325 billion ton
kilometers in 3Q01. This is practically the same as the figure achieved in 2Q01
of 3.350 billion ton kilometers, but 3.9% less than that seen in 3Q00,
reflecting the slowdown in the growth of the Brazilian economy.

General cargo handled for clients in the Parent Company's ports (Tubarao, Ponta
da Madeira and TMIB) totalled 5.9 million tons in 3Q01, an increase of 7.3% on
the previous quarter and up 18% YoY.

Revenues generated from providing railfreight and port services amounted to R$
256 million in 3Q01, compared to R$ 281 million in 2Q01 and R$256 million in
3Q00.

Gold sales totalled 4.49 tons, an increase of 25.7% on the previous quarter and
up 5.1% compared to 3Q00. The average sales price in the first nine months of
the year was US$ 272.86 per ounce, 1.5% higher than the average COMEX price of
US$ 268.89 per ounce.

Revenues derived from gold sales amounted to R$ 102.6 million, 41.8% higher
than the previous quarter and up 48.9% YoY.

Sources of earnings growth

Comparing earnings in 3Q01 with that of the previous quarter, the main reason
for the increase in the result was the non-operational item of R$ 1.420
billion, from the profit of R$ 1.472 billion derived from the sale of Cenibra.

The drop in equity income of R$ 275 million, the R$ 289 million negative impact
caused by the rise in the USD against the BRL on the Company's dollar-
denominated debt, and a R$ 684 million increase in other operating expenses,
all combined to partially offset the increased profit recorded by CVRD for
3Q01.

Equity income was a negative R$ 5 million, and reflected the worst performance
by CVRD's subsidiaries and affiliates since 3Q99. The segments to show a loss
in the period were logistics - a loss of R$ 86 million, and aluminum, with a
loss of R$ 125 million.

The negative result in the logistics segment was due to a loss of R$ 13 million
by MRS Logistica and provisions made by Docenave for losses from the sale of
ships and non-use of tax credits, of R$ 95 million and R$ 25 million,
respectively.

Losses in the aluminum segment consisted of a R$ 196 million loss by Albras and
a loss of R$ 128 million by Alunorte. Losses in both these companies were
basically due to the effect of the BRL depreciation against the USD, on
dollar-denominated debt.

Production of primary aluminum by Albras was down due to power rationing,
falling from 93,400 tons in 2Q01 to 76,800 tons in 3Q01. As a consequence,
sales totalled 80,000 tons compared to 92,000 tons in 2T01 and 93,000 in 3Q00.
The average sales price in the period January/September was US$ 1,463 per ton,
4.1% higher than the average London Metal Exchange three month contract of US$
1,406 per ton.

EBITDA for Albras in 3Q01 amounted to R$ 25 million, down 81.7% on the previous
quarter and down 76.4%, YoY. In the case of Alunorte, EBITDA has remained
steady at around R$ 64 million, quarter on quarter, but was up 42.2% YoY.

Equity income from subsidiaries and affiliates in the iron ore segment amounted
to R$ 83 million in 3Q01, down R$ 59 million on the previous quarter. This
deterioration was mainly due to losses suffered by Samarco of R$48 million, a
loss by Kobrasco of R$ 72 million, and Nibrasco of R$ 34 million.

Samarco's pellet and pellet feed sales volume totalled 2.2 million tons in
3Q01. For the third consecutive quarter, Samarco showed shrinking sales. GIIC's
pellet sales volume came to 662,000 tons in the third quarter, compared to
861,000 in 2Q01 and 1.05 million in 3Q00. Samarco's EBITDA was R$ 82.1 million
in 3Q01, down 7.1% QoQ and 13.5% YoY.

Ferteco sold 3.3 million tons of iron ore and 549,000 tons of pellets in 3Q01.
Ferteco's 3Q01 EBITDA was R$ 32.3 million.

Equity income from the manganese and ferro alloy segments was practically
unchanged at R$ 26 million.

Sales of manganese ore by Sibra and Urucum amounted to 197,000 tons in 3Q01, up
44.4% on 2Q01 and up 61.2% YoY. Volume sold in the first nine months of 2001
amounted to 564,300 tons, 21.9% higher than in the same period a year earlier.

The rationing of electricity consumption was the main factor behind the drop in
sales of ferro alloys in 3Q01. With the exception of RDME, located in France,
all the subsidiaries, SIBRA, CPFL and Urucum, were forced to cut back
production. Sales, therefore, in the third quarter amounted to 82,600 tons,
compared to 92,800 in 2Q01 and 104,000 in 3Q00.

The rise of R$ 684 million in other operational expenses is explained by the
increase in provisions made for losses in subsidiaries and affiliates, and
goodwill amortization of R$ 535 million, the reversal of ICMS tax credits of R$
127 million, exhaustion of the gold mines in Igarape Bahia and Fazenda
Brasileiro (R$ 55 million), and the restoration of environmentally degraded
areas (R$ 40 million).

The main provisions for losses in subsidiaries and affiliates are comprised by:
FCA (R$ 108 million), PPSA (R$ 104 million), and CFN (R$ 33 million). Goodwill
amortization totaled R$ 297 million comprised by FCA (R$ 139 million), PPSA (R$
75 million), GIIC (R$ 60 million) and SIBRA (R$ 19 million).

                    RECORD QUARTERLY EBITDA: R$ 986 MILLION


EBITDA in 3Q01 amounted to R$ 986 million, the highest quarterly figure
achieved in the Company's history. This was 27.2% higher than that reported in
2Q01 and almost double that achieved in 3Q00. Dividends received totalled R$
114 million, representing 11.6% of EBITDA.

EBITDA margin in 3Q01 was recorded at 55.5%, also the highest in CVRD's
history. Company's capacity to convert revenues into operational profits was
enhanced by the weakness of the BRL.

The quarter-on-quarter EBITDA increase of R$ 211 million was the result of a R$
237 million rise in net operating revenues and R$ 58 million in dividends
received, though this was partially offset by a rise in the cost of goods sold
(COGS) of R$ 58 million and an increase in administrative expenses of R$ 19
million.

In the first nine months of 2001, EBITDA totalled R$ 2.450 billion, compared to
R$ 1.786 billion in the same period a year earlier, up, therefore by 37.0%.

Operational cash generation in 3Q01 amounted to R$ 1.169 billion, 34.4% higher
than in the previous quarter and up 160.4% YoY. In the first nine months of
2001, operating cash flow amounted to R$ 3.157 billion, some 2.3 times the
amount generated in the same period last year of R$ 1.349 billion.

[GRAPHIC OMITTED]  INVESTMENTS



Investments made in 3Q01 amounted to US$ 199.4 million, compared to US$ 123.9
million in 2Q01. In the first nine months of this year, excluding acquisitions,
capital expenditure amounted to US$ 423.0 million, compared to US$ 376 million
in the same period last year. Adding the US$ 566 million spent on the
acquisition of Ferteco, capital expenditure for the year to date amounted to
US$ 989.9 million.

Construction of the Sao Luis pellet plant has already absorbed US$ 106.9
million in 2001, US$ 66.5 million of which was spent on industrial
installations and US$ 40.4 million on mine, railroad and port infrastructure.
Also in the iron ore mining segment, further investments of US$ 20.5 million
were made in the purchase of railcars and locomotives, US$ 3.1 million for the
construction of a third stock marshalling yard in the Northern System, US$ 2.4
million on extending the useful life of the Timbopeba mine in the Southern
System, and US$ 1.6 million on Pier III at the Ponta da Madeira terminal in Sao
Luis.

In the non-ferrous minerals segment, the main investments were: a US$ 17.8
million capital injection into PPSA, a producer of kaolin, US$ 8.0 million on
the Sossego copper project and US$ 2.8 million on enlarging the production
capacity of the potash mine. In the logistics segment, the main capital
expenditure items were: the purchase of railcars and locomotives, US$ 8.0
million, and expansion of the Praia Mole maritime terminal, US$ 1.7 million.
Hydroelectric plant construction has absorbed US$ 28.3 million so far in 2001.

Maintenance expenses accounted for US$ 134.3 million and geological research,
US$ 17.6 million, in the period from January to September of this year.


  DEBT

As of September 30, 2001, CVRD total debt, adjusted for debts and credits
against subsidiaries and affiliates, was US$ 1.88 billion. Net debt, as
measured by the difference between total debt and cash and marketable
securities holdings of CVRD and its wholly-owned overseas subsidiaries, was
only US$ 236 million.

Therefore, Company's financial leverage was extremely low, 5.3%. Debt coverage
indicators were very good as well: net debt/EBITDA was 0.21x and EBITDA/gross
