Cautionary NOTE Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements
Our disclosure and analysis in this Current
Report on Form 8-K for Brazil Minerals, Inc. (the “Company”) contains some forward-looking statements. Statements that
are predictive in nature, that depend upon or refer to future events or conditions or that include words such as "expects,"
"anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates" and similar expressions
are forward-looking statements. Although we believe that these statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, they are subject
to several risks and uncertainties.
Investors are cautioned that our forward-looking
statements are not guarantees of future performance and the actual results or developments may differ materially from the expectations
expressed in the forward-looking statements.
As for the forward-looking statements that
relate to future financial results and other projections, actual results will be different due to the inherent uncertainty of estimates,
forecasts and projections and may be better or worse than projected. Given these uncertainties, you should not place any reliance
on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements also represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the
date that they were made. We expressly disclaim a duty to provide updates to these forward-looking statements, and the estimates
and assumptions associated with them, after the date of this filing to reflect events or changes in circumstances or changes in
expectations or the occurrence of anticipated events.
You are advised to consult any additional disclosures
we make in our reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Form 8-K, or their successors. Other factors besides those discussed in this Current
Report could also adversely affect us.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On August 7, 2019, the Company obtained the
rights over claims for rare earths areas totaling 12,528 acres in Brazil and comprising three mineral rights. Two mineral rights
are in the state of Goiás and one mineral right is in the state of Tocantins.
Brazil is one of only very few countries where
rare earths are known to occur in concentrations allowing economic recovery. The term “rare earths” denotes a group
of seventeen minerals which are needed in small amounts but essential in several high-technology applications including electric
vehicles and military hardware. China appears to control the majority of the world’s supply of rare earths according to multiple
news media articles that appeared recently.
