PASADENA, California, October 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

Brazil Minerals, Inc. (OTC: BMIX) (the "Company" or "Brazil Minerals") announced today that it added Valéria da Rocha to its Brazil-based management team. Ms. Rocha is an expert in the initial licensing of new mines with various Brazilian government regulators. She reports to Brazil Minerals' Chief Executive Officer and works alongside mining engineers and geologists in preparing all that is needed for advancing the Company's projects from planning to full operations. Ms. Rocha will also consult with Jupiter Gold Corporation (OTC: JUPGF), a subsidiary of Brazil Minerals. She previously worked for a Brazilian partnership with gold and iron mines, and before that as consultant to several large mining companies.  

Marc Fogassa, CEO of Brazil Minerals, commented, "We have a lot of new licensing activity taking place and more planned and therefore needed to add the necessary expertise. Ms. Rocha joined as part-time consultant and immediately showed me that she works with an intensity that is rare. She got certain initial items done in blazing speed by being diligent and assertive. Our team got a great addition."

On another note, Mr. Fogassa presented the Company at the MicroCap Conference in New York on October 1, 2018 and had strong receptivity which generated multiple meetings and conversations with institutional investors and investment bankers, some of which have continued.
