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 sale of of common stock in the Company, and, over time, 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,Apollo Resources or common stock in Jupiter Gold that it owns, and obtaining debt financing.owns. 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 FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASUAccounting Standards Update (“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.

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,June 30, 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.

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 60,07762,926 acres (243(255 km2) for lithium, 30,009 acres (121 km2) for rare earths, 57,900 acres (234 km2) for nickel, 22,050 acres (89 km2) for titanium, and 14,507 acres (59 km2) 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 4448 mineral rights spread over 45,45646,659 acres (184(190 km2) 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 shares of common sharesstock 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 shares of common sharesstock are quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “JUPGF.” The quartzite mine is expected to start operations and revenues in 2022.“JUPGF”. 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”).

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 explorationexploration 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 firstsecond quarter of 2022 and continuing to date, we have been primarily focused onsignificantly advanced our knowledge of the geological exploration and advancement ofNeves Area, one of ourthe 48 mineral rights withinthat comprise our Minas Gerais Lithium Project. Within this one claim,We have continuously drilled the Neves Area and have identified several spodumene bodies; spodumene is the main mineral containing lithium in hard rock pegmatitic projects such as ours. One of our exploration team has identified three distinct pegmatitic ore bodies withlatest drill holes yielded a zone of over 27 meters of spodumene, a mineral which contains lithium. Recent geochemical analysisresult that our lithium experts qualified as very positive and indicative of spodumene samplesthe potential of the Neves Area. Geochemical results from one drill holeNeves have included a reading of 2.86% Li2O. We have two qualified persons under S-K 1300 who are responsible for the technical advancement of our Minas Gerais Lithium Project. SLR Consulting Ltd., a premier independent company, is finalizing an initial report on the project.Neves Area.

 

AfterGiven our belief in the strength of our lithium holdings, and our desire to provide a clear message to our shareholders, and current and potential partners, we announced on July 18, 2022, that we will be changing our corporate name to Atlas Lithium Corporation, and such change is expected to take effect before the end of 2022.

As previously disclosed, we are actively working towards a desired uplisting to the firstNasdaq Capital Market, and this process includes various steps, some of which are completed while others are in the process of being completed during the third 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.2022.

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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2021,June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $54,230$393,864 and a working capital deficit of $822,917.$413,094.

 

Net cash used by operating activities totaled $506,071$1,327,301 for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2022, compared to net cash generationused of $488,711$98.400 during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 representing a decreasean increase in cash used of $994,782 or 203.5%.$1,228,901. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $152,998$247,163 for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2022, compared to net cash used of $939,927$957,978 during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, representing a decrease in cash used of $786,929 or 83.7%.$710,815.

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,June 30, 2022, it could negatively affect our financial position and liquidity and could result in our having understated our net loss.

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).
