Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Vale Canada Limited
business mining corporate internal
The AS handle VALE is held by Vale Canada Limited.
What it's used for
- The address space is registered under netnames
INCOandONTARIO-HYDRO, indicating a corporate estate with historical ties to Inco (a former subsidiary of Vale) and Hydro One Telecom. - The AS announces 2560 IPv4 addresses across 6 prefixes and maintains only 2 observed neighbours, a ratio that characterizes an internal corporate network rather than a transit or access provider.
Notable
- Registrants for five of the six prefixes are listed as Vale Canada Limited, while the prefix 142.47.133.0/24 is registered to Hydro One Telecom, Inc.
- The address inventory consists of five /23 and /24 blocks in the 142.40.0.0/16 range and one /24 in 142.47.0.0/16, reflecting a finely subdivided internal estate.

No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-11-07, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 454 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-11-08. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
