Brazil Minerals Substantially Increases the Size of Its Main Lithium Exploration Area

By: Newsfile

Belo Horizonte, Brazil--(Newsfile Corp. - August 22, 2022) - Brazil Minerals, Inc. (OTCQB: BMIX) (the "Company" or "Brazil Minerals") is pleased to announce that it has acquired four lithium mineral rights (the "Lithium Mineral Rights") totaling 3,811.23 hectares (~ 9,418 acres) owned by a group of six persons, all unrelated to the Company. In particular, Brazil Minerals acquired one mineral right which is immediately north and two mineral rights which are immediately south of one of its premier claims, the Neves Area ("Neves"), part of the Company's 100%-owned Minas Gerais Lithium Project. Brazil Minerals is currently drilling on Neves and has identified multiple hard rock pegmatites with attractive lithium concentrations; several of such pegmatitic ore bodies continue to the north and south into the newly acquired mineral rights. These claims expand the Neves project area footprint from 67.50 hectares (~ 167 acres) to 2,683.90 hectares (~ 6,632 acres) or almost 40 times its previous surface area (please see the attached map). This is a transformative acquisition for two main reasons: a) it creates the possibility of operationally developing Neves into a producing lithium mine of significant size, and b) the large additional area gives the Company the opportunity for increased lithium resources.

Marc Fogassa, CEO of the Company, commented, "This highly significant transaction is the result of months of hard-fought negotiations as these lithium areas attracted interest from multiple companies. We were successful in large part for having developed a solid local reputation for quality execution in our exploration programs. The Neves expansion is strategically critical and immediately brings our overall Minas Gerais Lithium Project to the next level."
