PASADENA, California, November 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
Brazil Minerals, Inc. (OTC: BMIX) (the "Company" or "Brazil Minerals") announced today that the common stock of its majority-owned subsidiary, Jupiter Gold Corporation (OTC: JUPGF) ("Jupiter Gold"), has begun trading in the U.S. over-the-counter market with ticker symbol JUPGF. The Company has been informed that JUPGF shares may be transacted through various brokers-dealers such as TD Ameritrade, Inc., Glendale Securities, Inc. and Charles Schwab Corp.
Marc Fogassa, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, "As first stated by us in July 2016, an important component of the business model of Brazil Minerals is the ownership of stakes in independent mineral-specific companies. We are therefore extremely pleased to report that this goal has been achieved for the first time with our subsidiary Jupiter Gold (OTC: JUPGF) becoming publicly-listed and able to grow on its own. Brazil Minerals will focus on the next opportunity from among several high-quality projects that it owns - in cobalt, diamond, lithium, to name a few - whether for joint-venture, partnership, sale, or equity participation via a publicly-listed subsidiary."
Jupiter Gold was founded in August 2016; it has only raised equity to date and has no debt. It is focused on gold opportunities in Brazil, a favorable jurisdiction with a well-established mining code, and currently owns over 95,000 acres of mineral rights. Jupiter Gold's management and consulting team have a successful operational history and track record, encompasses all phases from researching greenfield opportunities to permitting projects and finally to operating mines. All of Jupiter Gold's project locations are strategically selected after a multi-factor proprietary evaluation (geological, environmental, logistical), and a robust pipeline of potential future projects is under analysis.
Brazil Minerals systematically adds high-quality mineral rights to its proprietary bank of properties ("BMIX Mineral Bank"). The table below shows a breakdown of current mineral rights and related acreage.
