SAO PAULO, July 15 (Reuters) - Brazilian miner Vale SA VALE3.SA said on Wednesday that a court has ruled it must present 7.9 billion reais ($1.47 billion) in guarantees until July 23, according to a filing.

This amount would ensure the enforcement of any potential fine or forfeiture of assets, rights and values in the future, the company, adding that it will appeal the decision.
