Function Metalloreductase responsible for reducing vacuolar iron and copper prior to transport into the cytosol. Catalyzes the reduction of Fe(3+) to Fe(2+) and Cu(2+) to Cu(+), respectively, which can then be transported by the respective vacuolar efflux systems to the cytosol. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17553781, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17681937}.
