F- 4 Table of Contents BRAZIL MINERALS, INC. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organization and Description of Business Brazil Minerals, Inc. (“Brazil Minerals” or the “Company”) was incorporated as Flux Technologies, Corp. under the laws of the State of Nevada, U.S. on December 15, 2011. The Company changed its management and business on December 18, 2012, to focus on mineral exploration. Brazil Minerals, through subsidiaries, owns mineral rights in Brazil for gold, diamonds, lithium, rare earths, titanium, iron, nickel, and sand. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and are expressed in United States dollars. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2022, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included in Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 29, 2022. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company; its 99.99 % owned subsidiary, BMIX Participações Ltda. (“BMIXP”), which includes the accounts of BMIXP’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Mineração Duas Barras Ltda. (“MDB”), and BMIXP’s 50 % owned subsidiary, RST Recursos Minerais Ltda. (“RST”); its 99.99 % owned subsidiary, Hercules Resources Corporation (“HRC”), which includes the accounts of HRC’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Hercules Brasil Comercio e Transportes Ltda. (“Hercules Brasil”); its 30.1 % equity interest in Apollo Resources Corporation (“Apollo Resources”) and its subsidiary Mineração Apollo, Ltda.; and its 9.84 % equity interest in Jupiter Gold Corporation (“Jupiter Gold”), which includes the accounts of Jupiter Gold’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Mineração Jupiter Ltda. The Company has concluded that Apollo Resources, Jupiter Gold and their subsidiaries are variable interest entities (“VIE”) in accordance with applicable accounting standards and guidance. As such, the accounts and results of Apollo Resources, Jupiter Gold and their subsidiaries have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. F- 5 Table of Contents BRAZIL MINERALS, INC. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Going Concern The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has limited working capital, has incurred losses in each of the past two years, and has not yet received material revenues from sales of products or services. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company generating cash from its operations, the sale of its stock and/or obtaining debt financing. Historically, the Company has funded its operations primarily through the issuance of debt and equity securities. Management’s plan to fund its capital requirements and ongoing operations include the generation of revenue from its mining operations and projects. Management’s secondary plan to cover any shortfall is selling its equity securities, including common stock in the Company, or common stock in Jupiter Gold that it owns, and obtaining debt financing. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts. Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations except as noted below: In February 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-02, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842) - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 and Update to SEC Section on Effective Date Related to Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which amends the effective date of the original pronouncement for smaller reporting companies. ASU 2016-13 and its amendments will be effective for the Company for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company believes the adoption will modify the way the Company analyzes financial instruments, but it does not anticipate a material impact on results of operations. The Company is in the process of determining the effects adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements. F- 6 Table of Contents BRAZIL MINERALS, INC.

Equity Investments without Readily Determinable Fair Values On October 2, 2017, the Company entered into an exchange agreement whereby it issued 25,000,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for 500,000 shares of Ares Resources Corporation. The Company’s chief executive officer also serves as an officer of Ares Resources Corporation, thus making it a related party under common ownership and control. The shares were recorded at $ 150,000 , or $ 0.006 per share. The shares were valued based upon the lowest market price of the Company’s common stock on the date the agreement. On March 11, 2020, the Company issued 53,947,368 shares of common stock to Lancaster Brazil Fund pursuant to an addendum to the share exchange agreement dated September 28, 2018. The Company recorded a loss on exchange of equity with a related party of $ 76,926 representing the fair value of the additional shares of common stock issued. Under ASC 321-10, the Company elected to use a measurement alternative for its equity investment that does not have a readily determinable fair value. As such, the Company measured its investment at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus any changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. The Company owns less than 5 % of the total shares outstanding of Ares Resources Corporation. F- 7 Table of Contents BRAZIL MINERALS, INC.

F- 10 Table of Contents BRAZIL MINERALS, INC. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 7 – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES Currency Risk The Company operates primarily in Brazil which exposes it to currency risks. The Company’s business activities may generate intercompany receivables or payables that are in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity. Changes in exchange rates from the time the activity occurs to the time payments are made may result in the Company receiving either more or less in local currency than the local currency equivalent at the time of the original activity. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates between the applicable foreign currency and the U.S. dollar affect the translation of each foreign subsidiary’s financial results into U.S. dollars for purposes of reporting in the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries translate their financial results from the local currency into U.S. dollars in the following manner: (a) income statement accounts are translated at average exchange rates for the period; (b) balance sheet asset and liability accounts are translated at end of period exchange rates; and (c) equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. Translation in this manner affects the shareholders’ equity account referred to as the foreign currency translation adjustment account. This account exists only in the foreign subsidiaries’ U.S. dollar balance sheets and is necessary to keep the foreign subsidiaries’ balance sheets in agreement. NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS In accordance with FASB ASC 855-10 Subsequent Events, the Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to March 31, 2022 to the date these consolidated financial statements were issued, and has determined that it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these consolidated financial statements. F- 11 Table of Contents Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes to those financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Report. This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements for Brazil Minerals, Inc. reflect current expectations, as of the date of this Quarterly Report, and involve certain risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward- looking statements as a result of various factors. Factors that could cause future results to materially differ from the recent results or those projected in forward-looking statements include: unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but also from finding mineral deposits that, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production; market fluctuations; government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection; competition; the loss of services of key personnel; unusual or infrequent weather phenomena, sabotage, government or other interference in the maintenance or provision of infrastructure as well as general economic conditions. Description of Business We are a U.S. mineral exploration and mining company with projects and properties in essentially all battery metals to power the Green Energy Revolution – lithium, rare earths, nickel, cobalt, graphite, and titanium. Our current focus is on developing our hard-rock lithium project located in a premier pegmatitic district in Brazil – as lithium is essential for batteries in electric vehicles. Additionally, through subsidiaries, we participate in iron, gold, and quartzite projects. We also own multiple mining concessions for gold, diamond, and industrial sand. All of our mineral projects and properties are located in Brazil and, as of the date of this Report, our mineral rights portfolio for battery metals includes approximately 60,077 acres (243 km 2 ) for lithium, 30,009 acres (121 km 2 ) for rare earths, 57,900 acres (234 km 2 ) for nickel, 22,050 acres (89 km 2 ) for titanium, and 14,507 acres (59 km 2 ) for graphite. We believe that we have one of the largest battery metals exploration footprints among publicly listed companies. Currently we are primarily focused on advancing and developing our hard-rock lithium project located in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, where some of our high-potential mineral rights are adjacent to or near large lithium deposits that belong to a large, publicly traded competitor. Our Minas Gerais Lithium Project is our largest endeavor and consists of 44 mineral rights spread over 45,456 acres (184 km 2 ) and predominantly located within the Brazilian Eastern Pegmatitic Province which has been surveyed by the Brazilian Geological Survey and is known for the presence of hard rock formations known as pegmatites which contain lithium-bearing minerals such as spodumene and petalite. In general, lithium derived from pegmatites is less costly to purify for uses in high technology applications than lithium obtained from brine. Such applications include the battery supply chain for electric vehicles (“EVs”), an area of expected high growth for the next several decades. We also own 44.41% of the common shares of Apollo Resources Corporation, (“Apollo Resources”), a private company currently primarily focused on the development of its initial iron mine, expected to start operations and revenues in early 2023. We also own approximately 24.56% of Jupiter Gold Corporation (“Jupiter Gold”), a company focused on the development of gold projects and of a quartzite mine, and whose common shares are quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “JUPGF.” The quartzite mine is expected to start operations and revenues in 2022. The results of operations from both Apollo Resources and Jupiter Gold are consolidated in our financial statements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). 3 Table of Contents As the self-titled “Mineral Resources Company for the Green Energy Revolution,” we are deeply committed to Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (“ESG”) causes. We have an ESG Chief who coordinates our efforts in these important matters. Within the last few years, we planted more than 6,000 trees of diverse types for the benefit of local populations in areas in which we operate and constructed over 1,000 small retention walls to preserve and enhance dirt access roads used by such communities. Separately, many of our work needs have been specifically delegated to firms owned or managed by women and minorities. We are an exploration stage company and we have no “reserves” as such term is defined by Regulation S-K, Subpart 1300 (“S-K 1300”). Operational Update During the first quarter of 2022 and continuing to date, we have been primarily focused on the geological exploration and advancement of one of our mineral rights within our Minas Gerais Lithium Project. Within this one claim, our exploration team has identified three distinct pegmatitic ore bodies with spodumene, a mineral which contains lithium. Recent geochemical analysis of spodumene samples from one drill hole included a reading of 2.86% Li 2 O. We have two qualified persons under S-K 1300 who are responsible for the technical advancement of the project. After the end of the first quarter of 2022, we increased the size of our nickel exploration footprint with the addition of another 11 mineral rights in the Brazilian state of Goiás. On March 16, 2022, we terminated the Consulting Services Agreement with Jason Baybutt, who served as our Chief Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, and Treasurer from December 29, 2021 to March 16, 2022. On March 16, 2022, we appointed Gustavo Pereira de Aguiar as our Chief Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, and Treasurer. From 2016 until March 15, 2022, Mr. Aguiar was the Controller of Jaguar Mining, Inc., a Canadian publicly traded company with two producing gold mines in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil and current market capitalization of approximately $270 million. From 2013 to 2016, Mr. Aguiar was Controller at Grupo Orguel, an enterprise in the construction equipment rental sector in Brazil which received funding from Carlyle, a U.S. private equity group, and from 2010 to 2013, Mr. Aguiar worked at Mirabella Mineração , which at the time was developing its nickel project in the state of Bahia in Brazil. From 2006 to 2010, Mr. Aguiar was an auditor with Deloitte in Brazil. Mr. Aguiar has undergraduate degrees in Business Administration and in Accounting from Universidade FUMEC in Brazil. He has an executive MBA and further post-graduate education in finance from Funda ção Dom Cabral in Brazil. Mr. Aguiar is fluent in Portuguese and English and is a licensed accountant in Brazil. Results of Operations The Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Compared to the Three Months ended March 31, 2021 Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 totaled $477, compared to revenue of $4,459 during the three months ended March 31, 2021 representing a decrease of 89%. This revenue comes from sales of industrial sand during the raining season. Industrial sand is a residual business line as the Company is primarily focused on its lithium exploration as described above. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2022 totaled $9,855, as compared to cost of goods sold of $22,989 during the three months ended March 31, 2021 representing a decrease of 57.13%. Cost of goods sold is primarily comprised of labor, fuel, and repairs and maintenance on our mining equipment. The decrease is explained by reduced production activities and mining costs partially attributable to our exploratory efforts. Gross loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022 totaled $9,378, compared to gross loss of $18,530 during the three months ended March 31, 2021, representing an improvement of 49.4%. Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 totaled $827,317, compared to operating expenses of $1,112,296 during the three months ended March 31, 2021, representing a decrease of 25.6%. The decrease was mostly due to lower general and administrative expenses related to public company costs and stock-based compensation from issuances of stock options to officers and directors. As a result, we incurred a net loss attributable to our stockholders of $531,490, or $0.00 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to a net loss attributable to our stockholders of $716,022, or $0.00 per share, during the three months ended March 31, 2021. 4 Table of Contents Liquidity and Capital Resources As of March 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $54,230 and a working capital deficit of $822,917. Net cash used by operating activities totaled $506,071 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to net cash generation of $488,711 during the three months ended March 31, 2021 representing a decrease in cash of $994,782 or 203.5%. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $152,998 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to net cash used of $939,927 during the three months ended March 31, 2021, representing a decrease in cash used of $786,929 or 83.7%. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $622,999 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $466,249 during the three months ended March 31, 2021, representing an increase in cash provided of $156,750 or 33.62%. We have limited working capital, have historically incurred net operating losses, and have not yet received material revenues from the sale of products or services. These factors create substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our primary sources of liquidity have been derived through proceeds from the (i) issuance of debt and (ii) sales of our equity and the equity of one of our subsidiaries. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our capability to generate cash flows from operations and successfully raise new capital through debt issuances and sales of our equity. We have no plans for any significant cash acquisitions in the foreseeable future. Currency Risk We operate primarily in Brazil which exposes us to currency risks. Our business activities may generate intercompany receivables or payables that are in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity. Changes in exchange rates from the time the activity occurs to the time payments are made may result in us receiving either more or less in local currency than the local currency equivalent at the time of the original activity. Our condensed consolidated financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates between the applicable foreign currency and the U.S. dollar affect the translation of each foreign subsidiary’s financial results into U.S. dollars for purposes of reporting in the consolidated financial statements. Our foreign subsidiaries translate their financial results from the local currency into U.S. dollars in the following manner: (a) income statement accounts are translated at average exchange rates for the period; (b) balance sheet asset and liability accounts are translated at end of period exchange rates; and (c) equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. Translation in this manner affects the shareholders’ equity account referred to as the foreign currency translation adjustment account. This account exists only in the foreign subsidiaries’ U.S. dollar balance sheets and is necessary to keep the foreign subsidiaries’ balance sheets in agreement. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, loans to a related party, accrued expenses, and an amount due to a director. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in our financial statements. If our estimate of the fair value is incorrect at March 31, 2022, it could negatively affect our financial position and liquidity and could result in our having understated our net loss. 5 Table of Contents Recent Accounting Pronouncements Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the financial statements. We have reviewed all recent accounting pronouncements issued to the date of the issuance of these financial statements, and we do not believe any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on us. Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), we are not required to provide the information required by this Item as we are a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1). Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the design, operation, and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of March 31, 2022. On the basis of that evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted pursuant to the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure were effective. (b) Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to management and to our Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on their evaluation under the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013), they concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2022. (c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred in the quarter ended March 31, 2022 that materially affected, or would be reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. (d) Limitations of the Effectiveness of Internal Controls The effectiveness of our system of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting is subject to certain limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing and evaluating the control system, the assumptions used in identifying the likelihood of future events, and the inability to eliminate fraud and misconduct completely. As a result, there can be no assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will detect all errors or fraud. However, our control systems have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving out objectives, and our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that out disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are effective at the reasonable assurance level. 6 Table of Contents PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
