PASADENA, California, August 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Brazil Minerals, Inc. (OTC: BMIX) (the "Company" or "Brazil Minerals") announced today that its licensing team had progressed with requirements for mining and environmental licensing of two high potential mineral rights for diamonds and gold owned by the Company. Together these rights cover 2,292 acres, and are both located in the well-known gold and diamond district of the Jequitinhonha River Valley in Brazil.

Overall, Brazil Minerals holds title to over twenty-five mineral rights in such region each with potential for gold and diamond mineralization.
