Brazil’s Vale said on Wednesday it had received a ruling allowing it to restart operations at the Onca Puma nickel mine, in Para state.

A federal court last month ordered operations stopped due to a dispute over payments to local indigenous communities.

Vale said in an email to Reuters that a court order for the company to pay the indigenous communities $796000 had also been suspended.
