Brazil Minerals Doubles the Size of Its Nickel Exploration Footprint
Belo Horizonte, Brazil–(Newsfile Corp. – May 10, 2022) – Brazil Minerals, Inc. (OTCQB: BMIX) (the "Company" or "Brazil Minerals"), a U.S. battery metals company, is pleased to announce that it has obtained the presumptive exploratory permits for six additional nickel mineral rights encompassing 29,075 acres in the state of Goiás in Brazil. One of these rights is adjacent to a nickel producing mine and all are in a district known for lateritic nickel deposits. With such additions, Brazil Minerals' nickel mineral rights holdings have more than doubled to 57,900 acres (234 km2).
Brazil Minerals' battery metals portfolio also includes: 60,077 acres (243 km2) for lithium, 30,009 acres (121 km2) for rare earths, 22,050 acres (89 km2) for titanium, and 14,507 acres (59 km2) for graphite. The Company believes that it has one of the largest battery metals exploration footprints among publicly listed companies.
Brazil Minerals is successfully advancing its hard-rock lithium project in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil. The additional nickel areas announced today are a natural progression of the Company's strategy in battery metals, as both lithium and nickel are highly sought after for electric vehicle batteries.
