SAO PAULO, July 18 (Reuters) - Vale SA on Tuesday said a Brazilian judge suspended a lawsuit over the miner Samarco Mineração SA's dam collapse in November 2015.
In a securities filing, the company said the judge's decision on Monday did not change the terms of a court decision that extended the deadline for Samarco parent companies Vale SA VALE5.SA and BHP Billiton PLc BLT.L to negotiate a settlement to Oct. 30.
