Brazil Minerals, Inc. Advances Evaluation of Iron Project

06.07.2020  |  Newsfile

Pasadena, July 6, 2020 - Brazil Minerals Inc. (OTC PINK: BMIX) (the "Company" or "Brazil Minerals") is pleased to announce that it has received initial positive results from certain preliminary, but key, dry magnetic separation tests performed by an independent laboratory with respect to iron samples from a project which the Company has a signed six-month option to acquire (the "Iron Project"). If further studies confirm a specific cost-effective pathway to concentrate iron based on dry magnetic separation, and if all of the necessary regulatory licensing for operations is eventually obtained, the Iron Project could become a producing iron mine. Iron production in Brazil can enjoy high margins and the Company has been looking to enter this endeavor for some time, and in fact the Iron Project negotiations lasted over one year. Iron is sold locally to the Brazilian steel industry, but is also exported; in 2017, Brazil exported over US$20 billion in iron, its second largest export.

The Iron Project is located next to a producing iron mine from an unrelated company. The logistics of its location are excellent with paved roads and potential iron buyers nearby. The cost to Brazil Minerals of its acquisition of 100% of the Iron Project from an unrelated individual is payable in installments over two years for an aggregate purchase price of approximately US$1 million at the current exchange rate between the Brazilian real and U.S. dollar. The title to the Iron Project would be transferred to the Company after payment of the first tranche of the purchase price, the funds for which have now been secured by Brazil Minerals.

A preliminary estimation of the potential mineralization of the specific portion to be mined indicates approximately 6.2 million tons, and mining would be on an open pit method. The highest concentration of iron to date in geochemical studies of samples collected by independent consultants hired by Brazil Minerals has been 46.9%, and the average iron content has been estimated at 38-40%. If further concentration based on dry magnetic separation is confirmed, preliminary calculations from a local technical expert indicate the potential for a profitable operation, possibly with annual net profit of up to US$1 million and mine life between 10 to 20 years, although these predictions may need to be adjusted as more data becomes available. Photos of recent sample retrieval and a detail of an iron sample from the area are attached below.
