Brazil Minerals, Inc. Now Owns 100% of the Duas Barras Diamond & Gold Mine
(Marketwired - Oct 7, 2014)
Brazil Minerals, Inc. (OTCQB: BMIX), (the "Company" or "BMIX"
, a U.S. holding company with revenues from sales of polished and rough diamonds as well as gold bars, all from its own production, announced today that it had purchased and formally received title to the remainder of Mineração Duas Barras Ltda. ("MDB" that it did not own before. MDB is the first operational, revenue-generating business owned fully by BMIX. Aside from regular payables for operations, there is no debt in MDB.
Marc Fogassa, Chairman and CEO of BMIX, commented: "Our original goal had been to finish the acquisition of 100% of MDB by the end of 2014. I am delighted that we were able to expedite this plan and beat it by three months. MDB under our management team supervision has gone from a distressed asset to a producer of polished and rough diamonds, gold bars, and sand in the course of about a year and half. MDB is the core basis for our expanding diamond and gold center in northern Minas Gerais in Brazil."
MDB owns mineral rights encompassing approximately 1,404 acres, including a fully-operational mining concession with the largest alluvial processing plant for diamonds and gold in Latin America. MDB has NI 43-101 geological reports and a bankable feasibility study on file with the local mining authority. It also has the permit to export its production of rough diamonds as well as its own cut and polished diamonds.
All of MDB's mined diamonds qualify for Kimberley Certification, which is essential for access to the global markets. The global Kimberley Process Certification system was established by the United Nations to prevent "conflict diamonds" from entering the market; Brazil is a signatory to this agreement.
For the final payment for completing its ownership in MDB, BMIX disbursed $200,000 in cash and issued 2,142,857 shares of its restricted common stock to a private individual. MDB now fully-owned, BMIX will no longer have to expend capital or issue stock for additional ownership interest in MDB.
