News Releases

Belo Horizonte, Brazil–(Newsfile Corp. – March 2, 2021) – Brazil Minerals, Inc. (OTC Pink: BMIX) (the “Company” or “Brazil Minerals”), the Strategic Mineral Resource Company for the Green Energy Revolution, is pleased to announce that it has entered into agreements with Triton Funds, LP (“Triton Funds”) for an investment of up to $5,000,000 in the common stock of the Company. Triton Funds was founded by and is managed by students from the University of California, San Diego, and backed by scientific and academic advisory boards. Triton Funds is the largest student-run investment fund in the United States and focuses on “millennial growth ESG” (Environmental, Social and Governance) opportunities.

Triton Funds has committed to invest $2,500,000 in the purchase of common stock of the Company at a small discount to a publicly traded price subject to certain terms and conditions detailed in a common stock purchase agreement. At its option, Triton may invest an additional $2,500,000 in the purchase of common stock of the Company through the exercise of two-year cash warrants.

Triton Funds is primarily focused on investments that will have a lasting positive impact on the millennial generation with a portfolio of both public and private companies. Since Brazil Minerals has projects in essential minerals for the Green Energy Revolution – lithium, rare earths, and titanium – the match was highly synergistic.

Arnold Nunez, Senior Associate at Triton Funds, commented, “With a strong and seasoned management team that has a stellar vision for the company, Brazil Minerals will make an exceptional addition to the Triton Funds portfolio. This capital infusion will enable the company to continue expanding their impressive mineral rights portfolio as well as ramp up operations on preexisting projects throughout their vast footprint in Brazil. We’re excited to grow alongside Brazil Minerals by acting as a catalyst for their growth, vision, and becoming their strategic institutional investor.”

Marc Fogassa, CEO & Chairman of Brazil Minerals, added, “We received a number of indications of interest from potential investors but, from the very beginning of our conversations, Triton Funds demonstrated excellent analytical rigor and superb follow-up. It is an honor to work with this terrific group from UCSD, and we look forward to accelerating our lithium exploration and mining development with this capital.”
