MARIANA, Brazil, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Mudslides from burst dams at the Germano mine complex in Brazil have taken out a conveyor belt at a nearby mine and will affect the output of iron ore giant Vale SA VALE5.SA VALE.N , the company told Reuters on Monday.

Vale and BHP Billiton BHP.AX BHP.N BLT.L are co-owners of Samarco, operator of the Germano mine near Mariana. Vale produced nearly 39 million tonnes of iron ore at its Mariana complex last year and output was up 1 percent in the first nine months of 2015.

Mud and wastewater from the collapsed Germano dams devastated a nearby village on Thursday and flooded towns as far as 100 km (60 miles) away, leaving 25 people missing and at least two dead. urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL1N1341BI
