Speaking at an investors' event in New York, Fabio Schvartsman also said the company would do everything to resume operations as soon as possible at the Samarco mine, a joint venture with BHP Billiton (NYSE: BBL - news) that has been closed since a tailings dam collapsed in 2015, killing 19 people.
