FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "Annual Report") contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements for Brazil Minerals, Inc. reflect current expectations, as of the date of this Annual 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, among others: 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.

PART I

Item 1. Description of Business.

Brazil Minerals, Inc. ("Brazil Minerals", the "Company", "we", "us", or "our"), together with its subsidiaries, is engaged in the business of acquiring controlling positions or significant positions with oversight roles in companies in Brazil in the minerals area or in industries related to minerals. We consolidate the results of our controlled subsidiaries in this Annual Report.

Our progress has been steady, and can be measured in at least two quantifiable ways. First, in terms of mineral assets, in early 2013, our initial year of operations under the current business model and management team, we had 3 mineral rights. As of December 31, 2016, we had 38 mineral rights, as follows:

a)	10 mineral rights that are mining concessions, the highest level of mineral right in Brazil ("Concessão de Lavra");

b)	8 mineral rights that have status just below mining concession ("Requerimento de Lavra"), which allows us to apply for both an upgrade to mining concession and to conduct limited commercial mining;

c)	8 mineral rights in the research permit phase ("Autorização de Resquisa"); and

d)	12 mineral rights in the phase of application for research permit ("Requerimento de Pesquisa").

Details on each of these mineral rights can be found in Item 2. Properties of this Annual Report.

The second manner in which we expanded from 2013 to now is in the product mix output from our subsidiaries. In 2013, we produced and sold rough diamonds and gold. In 2014, we added polished diamonds. In 2015, we added sand and mortar, a product made from our sand.

From 2013 to today, we have been taking shape as a holding company. As of December 31, 2016, we materially owned the following stakes:

(1)	100% of BMIX Participações Ltda ("BMIXP");
(2)	100% of Mineração Duas Barras Ltda ("MDB");
(3)	50% of RST Recursos Minerais Ltda. ("RST");
(4)	100% of Hercules Resources Corporation ("HRC");
(4)	100% of Hercules Brasil Ltda. ("HBR");
(5)	58% of Jupiter Gold Corporation ("JGC").

Business Developments

Some significant developments to our business during 2016 in chronological order were as follows:

1)	Licensing of a New Mining Area

On April 19, 2016, the Brazilian government official gazette ("Diário Oficial da União") published the permit denominated "Guia de Utilização" issued by the Brazilian mining department that allowed to begin initial mining of the mineral rights area 802.267/1977 (please see table in Item 2. Properties of this Annual Report).

2)	Formation of Jupiter Gold Corporation.

In conversations with current and potential investors, we observed that certain groups want to be more heavily involved with diamonds, others prefer gold, and yet others are only interested in commodity-type minerals. Based on such observations and other data, we believe it to be in the best interest of the Company and our shareholders to create certain "mineral-specific" subsidiaries. Such strategy seeks to accommodate specific investor demand, and allow each subsidiary to raise its own capital. We intend to maintain an ongoing ownership stake in each subsidiary it creates; the specific percentage will depend both on the valuation given to the subsidiary at any point in time and the amount of capital it raises from outside sources.

Jupiter Gold Corporation ("JGC"), the first such subsidiary, was incorporated on July 27, 2016. On December 16, 2016, JGC's Registration Statement on Form F-1 was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). JGC anticipates being a publicly-traded entity in 2017.

3)	Improvements in Capital Structure

In 2016, we substantially improved the equity portion of our balance sheet by elimination of all of the Preferred B Convertible Stock and all of the Preferred C Convertible Stock that we had on our books. Such preferred shares were converted into shares of common stock of JCG, options on shares of common stock of JGC, and common shares of Brazil Minerals.

In 2016, we also improved the debt portion of its balance sheet by the net conversion of a significant amount of variable-rate convertible debt, with the result that as of year-end we had only one short-term oriented variable-rate noteholder left.

4)	Construction of Modular Gold and Diamond Processing Plant

During the second semester of 2016, Brazil Minerals achieved the deployment of a modular gold and diamond processing plant in one of its mineral areas. The plant uses centrifugation as the primary method of gold separation. Material identified as potentially containing diamonds is retrieved and further processed in specific high-precision equipment for detection of diamonds.

This modular plant is owned by JGC and is solely operated by Brazil Minerals which retains 100% of the diamonds and 50% of the gold recovered from it, while the other 50% of gold is for the account of JGC. Under standard U.S. GAAP consolidation of financial results for subsidiaries, any gold revenues obtained by JGC are added to the revenues of Brazil Minerals.

5)	Cashless Acquisition of New Truck

In May 2016, a Mercedes Benz Accelo 1044 truck was acquired by MDB for no cash, and only the use of tax credits, in a cashless transaction. Generally, under the laws of the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil, certain purchases of diesel for mining operations earn tax credits that can be redeemed, under a state-sponsored program, for capital equipment built in that state..

- 3 -

Emerging Growth Company Status

We may be deemed to be an "emerging growth company" as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or JOBS Act. As long as we remain an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not "emerging growth companies" including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding an annual nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and seeking nonbinding stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We may take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an "emerging growth company."

Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

We will remain an "emerging growth company" for up to five years, although we would cease to be an "emerging growth company" prior to such time if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenue, more than $700 million in market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.

Markets

Rough Diamonds

The market for our rough diamonds is potentially global as we have attracted interest from foreign buyers. To date we have sold our rough diamonds only in Brazil and to Brazilian institutional buyers that represent merchants from other countries. We have the necessary Siscomex export license obtained from the Brazilian regulatory agency and therefore we can export rough diamonds in the future. The export process for rough diamonds involves obtaining the Kimberly certification on each rough diamond set being exported. This certificate is obtained in the local office of the Brazilian mining department and attests to the fact that we have all of the necessary licensing and that the diamonds are ethically produced. The Kimberly certification is a United Nations procedure to which Brazil is a signatory member; it seeks to eliminate from the global market the so-called "blood diamonds," mined under conditions of duress and without regard for the environment.

The price of our rough diamonds is mostly determined by the overall global market price for diamonds of similar characteristics; the prices are quoted in U.S. dollars per carat. For each lot available, we have had several interested and potential buyers and normally receive multiple bids. On average, approximately 97% of our rough diamonds are of gem quality, whereas 3% are for industrial uses.

Polished Diamonds

The market for our polished diamonds is global. To date we have sold our polished diamonds in Brazil and abroad. The sales in Brazil were made to a large jewelry chain that is in business since 1946 and caters to the medium-high end of the market. The sales of our polished diamonds to buyers from abroad were to high net worth individuals interested in acquisition for asset diversification as well as future use in jewelry pieces. Since we have the necessary export license, the export process is straightforward for polished diamonds.

The price for our polished diamonds is determined in the same method as for any other polished diamond, and thus primarily by the so-called four C's – color, carat weight, clarity, and cut. All of our exported diamonds to date have been certified and graded at the Gemological Institute of America ("GIA"), considered the premier analytical laboratory for diamonds and other gems in the world. The highest grade of color which our polished diamonds have obtained from GIA has been "E", the 2^nd highest possible grade (the color scale starts at "D"). The best clarity our polished diamonds have obtained has been "VVS1", the 2^nd best clarity possible. Most of our polished diamonds have been graded F-G for color and VVS2-VS2 for clarity. Their weights as polished gems have been approximately between 0.4 and 2.0 carats. The Rapaport valuation of our polished diamonds graded at GIA has been approximately $3,250 per carat. Rapaport is a premier diamond service provider that publishes well-known, periodic pricing valuations for diamonds based on the four C's, as described above. The prices for our diamonds are quoted in U.S. dollars.

Gold

The market for our gold is local as there is normally demand from multiple Brazilian buyers. The price of our 96%-purity gold bars is determined by the London price for gold on the day of sale. The prices for our gold are quoted in U.S. dollars, and paid in Brazilian reais, the local currency

Sand

The market for our sand is local, driven by demands of residential and commercial construction. There are a large number of local buyers for our sand. Our sand was analyzed at a top analytical laboratory in Brazil and found to have high silica levels and low organic matter, both characteristics of high quality sand. We price our sand based on whether it is retrieved by the buyer directly in our sand mine versus being delivered by us, and the size of the trucks used, which determines the volume purchased. The prices for our sand are quoted in Brazilian reais.

Mortar

The market for our mortar is local, also driven by demands of residential and commercial construction. We sell mortar to stores and directly to the consumer. The prices for our mortar are quoted in Brazilian reais.

Demand

When we have diamonds and gold for sale, demand for our products has been robust. We are constrained by logistical issues (e.g., waiting for permits from the mining department to begin mining), equipment malfunction (e.g., waiting for repair of excavator, tractor, etc.), and at times, working capital. There is no observed lack of demand for any of our diamonds and gold.

Overall, there has been an increase in the global demand for rough and polished diamonds, primarily driven by the improvement in the U.S. economy and continued repressed demand from emerging markets such as China and India. Gold has strong continued demand for both jewelry and as an alternative asset.

Demand for our sand and mortar has decreased during the Brazilian recessionary period lasting from 2014 through 2016, in which the economy declined almost 10%. Sand and mortar demand is directly correlated to construction demand and heavily influenced by the Brazilian economic cycle.

Distribution

We have not had material issues or bottlenecks with distribution of our products.

Competition

Diamonds, gold, and sand production are difficult fields to penetrate due to limited availability of new resource areas, and heavy regulatory and licensing requirements, including long wait times for permitting.

Our competitive position among suppliers of diamonds and gold is particularly strong because both MDB and RST are known companies in the Brazilian diamond trade and have the necessary mining and environmental licenses in place. Therefore, our products are able to be purchased openly and without restrictions since all of the supporting proof of provenance is available and in good order. Other producers that lack rights or licenses do not enjoy our position and can only sell into the "black market," possibly at a substantial discount and facing legal risks.

A secondary reason for our strong competitive position is that the diamonds from the Jequitinhonha River valley are known in Brazil and in global diamond centers to be of high quality. Since our sources of diamonds are secondary valley deposits, it is presumed that the primary kimberlitic source of such diamonds suffered erosion by the river for millions of years. In this lengthy process, over millions of years, smaller, but well proportioned, "hardy" gems resulted. These rough diamonds are easily cut and polished, and yield attractive polished diamonds. We do not treat any of our polished diamonds with laser or other methods.

- 5 -

We have very little competition from other sand providers as simply there are no licensed sand mines in a large radius around our location.

We do face competition with respect to mortar. In the local market in which we operate, one finds a few local mortar brands, with high name recognition, and low cost.

Seasonality

Our ability to mine for diamonds, gold and sand is highly seasonal. The rainy season normally lasts from December through April. We therefore expect that during these months our revenues will be substantially lower than during other periods.

Raw Materials

We do not have material dependence on any raw material or raw material supplier. The raw materials needed are available from numerous suppliers and at market-driven prices.

Intellectual Property

We have secured the right to use the name "Hercules" for our mortar with the Brazilian intellectual property agency. We have developed proprietary formulations for three different types of mortar that we sell.

Government Regulation

The Brazilian mining industry is highly regulated. We spend a considerable amount of time preparing filings requested by the mining and the environmental regulatory agencies. Review of fillings by these agencies is deliberate and may take months or years. We comply with Brazilian federal, state, and municipal regulations. There is no governmental control of the selling of our diamonds (whether rough or polished), gold, sand, and mortar.

Mining Regulation and Compliance

Mining regulation in Brazil is carried out by the mining department, a federal entity. Each state in Brazil has a state-level office of this federal entity. For each mineral right that we own, we file any paperwork related to it in the office of the mining department in the state in which such mineral right is located. Fillings are mostly paper-based.

We follow the status of our various mineral rights by frequent monitoring of the mining department's online "Cadastro Mineiro" and by periodically securing physical access to paper-based documentation held at the state-level office of the mining department, and for which an appointment and power of attorney is necessary. We maintain a good relationship with the mining department and believe that our methods of monitoring are adequate for our current needs.

The mining department normally inspects our operations once a year via an unannounced visit which is their standard practice. We estimate that it costs $25,000 annually to currently maintain compliance with various mining regulations.

Environmental Regulation and Compliance

Environmental regulation in Brazil is carried out by a state-level agency, which may have multiple offices, one for each region of the state. For each mineral right that we own, we file any paperwork related to it in the local office of the environmental agency that has the applicable geographical jurisdiction. Fillings are mostly paper-based.

- 6 -

We follow the status of any processes with the environmental agency by periodic visitation to such office. We maintain a good relationship with the offices of the environmental agency and believe that our methods of monitoring are adequate for our current needs.

The environmental agency normally inspects our operations once every one or two years which is standard practice for companies in good standing. We believe that we properly comply with the environmental laws in our applicable jurisdictions. We estimate that it costs $25,000 annually to currently maintain compliance with various environmental regulations.

Surface disturbance from open pit mining at MDB is incompliance with its mining plan. Furthermore, MDB regularly recuperates areas that have been exploited. The current environmental regulations state that after all mining has ceased at MDB (however long that may take), there would still be five years of available time for any necessary recuperation to be performed. The separation process for diamonds and gold at MDB does not use any cyanide or mercury. Tests are conducted regularly and there are no records of groundwater contamination.

Export Regulation

The export of rough diamonds from Brazil complies with the United Nations Kimberley Process certification system of which Brazil is a signatory country. This system was implemented by a large number of member countries of the United Nations to marginalize and prevent entrance to the diamond marketplace of those gems produced in areas where human exploitation and other specific illicit activities exist. To our knowledge, Brazil was never a jurisdiction that had any issues of these types.

Two of our subsidiaries have been granted export licenses, and therefore we can export either rough or polished diamonds. Gold is heavy and is best sold locally, since its price is essentially the same as abroad. There is no cost to maintain the export license active.

Employees and Independent Contractors

As of June 1, 2017, we had 6 full-time equivalent employees, and 3 part-time persons who are independent contractors. We also periodically retain consultants to provide specific services deemed necessary. We consider our employee relations to be very good.

Form & Year of Organization & History to Date

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 15, 2011. From inception until December 2012, we were focused in the software business, which generated minimal revenues and was discontinued when the current management team and business focus began. We changed name to Brazil Minerals, Inc. in December 2012 to reflect the new business focus.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Some, but not all, of our operating risk factors and the risks of any investment in our stock are listed below.

Risks Related to Our Operations

We have a limited operating history.

Our current business model and management team has been in place only since December 2012. Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our business or prospective operations. As a developing company, we are subject to the risks inherent in a young business. Investors should evaluate an investment in us in light of the uncertainties encountered by developing companies in a highly-regulated business area such as mining, which also can require large amounts of capital until revenues are materialized. Our business is dependent upon the implementation of our business plan. There can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful or that we will ultimately be able to attain profitability.

Our ability to execute our business plan depends primarily on the continuation of a favorable mining environment in Brazil.

Mining operations in Brazil are heavily regulated. Any significant change in mining legislation or other changes in Brazil's current mining environment may slow down or alter our business prospects.

We do not have any reserves compliant with SEC Industry Guide 7.

Vaaldiam, a company which previously owned MDB and purchased RST, performed geological studies in a subset of mineral rights areas from such companies leading to the publication of an NI 43-101 technical report in 2007, with an update in 2008, as required by the rules of the Canadian securities administrator. These NI 43-101 technical reports differ from the standards generally permitted in reports filed with the SEC. Therefore, investors should be aware that we have no "reserves" as strictly defined by SEC Industry Guide 7 since we have not performed any studies that follow the SEC Industry Guide 7, and that some or all of our mineralized material may never be confirmed or converted into SEC Industry Guide 7 compliant "reserves."

We may be unable to find sources of funding if and when needed, resulting in the failure of our business.

We still need additional equity or debt financing beyond our existing cash flow to operate. This additional financing may not become available and, if available, may not be available on terms that are acceptable to us. If we do obtain acceptable funding, the terms and conditions of receiving such capital would likely result in further dilution. If we are not successful in raising capital or sufficient capital, we will have to modify our business plans and substantially reduce or eliminate operations, or as an extreme measure seek reorganization. In these events, you could lose a substantial part or all of your investment.

- 8 -

Our quarterly and annual operating and financial results and our revenue are likely to fluctuate significantly in future periods.

Our quarterly and annual operating and financial results are difficult to predict and may fluctuate significantly from period to period. Our revenues, expenses, net income or loss, and results of operations may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors that are outside our control including, but not limited to, regulatory or licensing delays, lack of sufficient working capital, equipment malfunction and breakdowns, inability to timely find spare machines or parts to fix the broken equipment, and severe weather phenomena.

We do not intend to pay regular future dividends on our common stock and thus stockholders must look to appreciation of our common stock to realize a gain on their investments.

We have never paid a dividend and we do not have any plans to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Our future dividend policy is within the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon various factors, including future earnings, if any, our capital requirements and general financial condition. Accordingly, stockholders must look solely to appreciation of our common stock to realize a gain on their investment. This appreciation may not occur, or may occur over a longer timeframe that is less interesting to short-term oriented investors.

We depend upon Marc Fogassa, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman.

Our success is largely dependent upon the personal efforts of Marc Fogassa. Currently he is our only management team member that is fluent and fully conversant in both Portuguese, the language of Brazil, and English. The loss of the services of Mr. Fogassa would have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects. We maintain key-man life insurance on the life of Mr. Fogassa.

Risks Related to Our Capital Stock

Our Series A Preferred Stock has the effect of concentrating voting control over us in Marc Fogassa, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

One share of our Series A Preferred Stock is issued, outstanding and held by Marc Fogassa, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of our Series A Convertible Preferred provides that for so long as Series A Preferred Stock is issued and outstanding, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together as a single class with the holders of our Common Stock, with the holders of Series A Preferred Stock being entitled to 51% of the total votes on all matters regardless of the actual number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding, and the holders of Common Stock and any other class or series of capital stock entitled to vote with the Common Stock being entitled to their proportional share of the remaining 49% of the total votes based on their respective voting power.

Our stock price may be volatile.

The market price of our Common Stock has been and is likely to continue to be volatile and could fluctuate in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:

(1)	our ability to grow and/or maintain revenue;
(2)	our ability to achieve profitability;
(3)	our ability to raise capital when needed;
(4)	our sales of our common stock;
(5)	our ability to execute our business plan;
(6)	our ability to acquire additional mineral properties;
(7)	legislative, regulatory, and competitive developments; and
(8)	economic and other external factors.
(9)	existence of convertible debt, which may at times convert to common stock for sale

- 9 -

In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Because our common stock trades on the over-the-counter (OTC) market, you may not be able to buy and sell our common stock at optimum prices and you may face liquidity issues.

The trading of our stock on the OTC imposes, among others, the following risks:

●	Availability of quotes and order information
●	Liquidity risks
●	Dealer's spreads

Our convertible debt securities outstanding may adversely affect the market price for our common stock.

To the extent that any remaining convertible debt securities are converted into our common stock, the existing stockholder percentage ownership will be diluted and any sales in the public market of the common stock underlying such options may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock. A similar situation occurs if our outstanding options and warrants are exercised.

We may seek to raise additional funds, finance acquisitions or develop strategic relationships by issuing capital stock that would dilute your ownership.

We may largely finance our operations by issuing equity securities, or debt securities convertible into equity securities, which would materially reduce the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders. Furthermore, any newly issued securities could have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of our existing common stock. Moreover, any issuances by us of equity securities may be at or below the prevailing market price of our stock, and in any event may have a dilutive impact on ownership interest of existing common stockholders, which could cause the market price of stock to decline. We may also raise additional funds through the incurrence of debt or the issuance or sale of other securities or instruments senior to our common shares. The holders of any debt securities or instruments we may issue could have rights superior to the rights of our common stockholders.

Our common stock is currently defined as "penny stock" and the rules imposed on the sale of the shares may affect your ability to resell any shares you may purchase, if at all.

Our common stock is defined as a "penny stock" under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and rules of the SEC. The Exchange Act and such penny stock rules generally impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than certain accredited investors who are, generally, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 jointly with spouse, or in transactions not recommended by the broker-dealer. For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, a broker-dealer must make a suitability determination for each purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement prior to the sale. In addition, the broker-dealer must make certain mandated disclosures in penny stock transactions, including the actual sale or purchase price and actual bid and offer quotations, the compensation to be received by the broker-dealer and certain associated persons, and deliver certain disclosures required by the SEC. Consequently, the penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to make a market in or trade our common stock and may also affect a stockholder's ability to resell any of our shares in the public markets.

Details of two material properties are found below:

Mineração Duas Barras Ltda. ("MDB")

MDB owns a large alluvial diamond and gold processing and recovery plant, capable of processing upwards of 45 tons of gravel per hour of operation. It is our best information that this plant was built by South African mining engineers hired for the task and cost $2.5 million to construct. It is regarded as the largest such plant in Latin America.

MDB has title to two mineral rights. One is a mining concession for diamond, gold, and sand (discussed below). The other, physically separated, is an area for which we have submitted an application to mine. Both of the MDB mineral rights are located on the left margin of the Jequitinhonha River in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil. The Jequitinhonha River valley is a well-known area for diamond and gold; it has hosted alluvial production since the 18th century.

MDB's operations are located approximately one and half hour drive from Montes Claros, Brazil, a city of approximately 500,000 people. The first hour of the drive is on asphalt roads followed by a half-hour on dirt roads. Montes Claros has the infrastructure needed by MDB and also benefits from having an airport with regular carrier service to large Brazilian cities, including São Paulo, the largest city in Brazil, and Belo Horizonte, the capital of the state of Minas Gerais.

MDB's Mining Concession

MDB's mining concession ("Concessão de Lavra") covers an area of 422 acres. Such title allows for the exploration and commercialization of diamonds, gold, and sand. "Concessão de Lavra" is the highest level of mineral right in Brazil. It permits the owner to mine in perpetuity provided that environmental licenses are kept current and that mining guidelines are followed.

There are no liens or other encumbrances on MDB's mining concession, and there are no fees to be paid to maintain such claim. Therefore, we have no outright payments to maintain MDB's mining concession.

Brazilian law guarantees the owner of the land from which the subsoil is mined a royalty of at least 0.1% of gross revenues. However, miners in Brazil normally pay a higher royalty rate to the landowner as an incentive for greater cooperation. Under such arrangement, MDB pays the surface landowner a 6% royalty rate on gold and diamonds, and 8% on sand. MDB pays "CEFEM" royalties to Brazil's federal tax authority if and when it sells diamonds and gold. These royalty rates are fixed by federal decree and currently are 0.1% on diamond sales and 1% on gold sales. MDB also pays a state tax called "ICMS" on sales of gold, diamond, and sand, with the caveat that sales of gold and diamonds to exporters are normally exempt from such taxation. The "ICMS" tax in the state of Minas Gerais is currently 18%.

MDB's Other Mineral Right ("MDB-2")

MDB's other mineral right covers an area of 982 acres. In February 2016, we filed with the mining department a detailed application with technical study for commercial mining of this area. We also filed the appropriate permit with the environmental department.

MDB-2 has not been mined commercially before, but prior to our ownership it has had prospector activity, something viewed by experts as a positive sign. In the plot within MDB-2 for which initial commercial exploration is targeted, our technical team identified both "grupiária" and alluvial gravel available for processing for diamonds and gold. "Grupiária" is a thicker rock mixture known locally for having a lower density diamond concentration, but larger diamonds where they do occur.

We intend to perform all of the necessary studies to move MDB-2 to the mining concession status as soon as possible in the future. There is no current recurring cost to the mining department to upkeep this area.

Mineralization

Vaaldiam, the previous owner of MDB's mining concession performed detailed geological studies leading to the publication of an NI 43-101 technical report in 2007, with an update in 2008, as required by the rules of the Canadian securities administrator. The NI 43-101 report from 2008 describes the existence of mineralized materials amounting to 1,639,200 cubic meters with the following concentrations for diamonds and gold: 0.16 carats of diamonds per cubic meter and 182 milligrams of gold per cubic meter. The previous owner also submitted its "Plano de Aproveitamento Econômico", a bankable feasibility study, to the mining department in accordance with the mining regulations of Brazil. We do not claim that MDB's NI 43-101 technical reports and its bankable feasibility study are compliant with the SEC-sanctioned Industry Guide 7. Under the SEC's Industry Guide 7, no assertion can be made about reserves; moreover, Industry Guide 7 does not recognize the term "resources."

Source of Water and Power

The water used in MDB's operations comes from lagoons that receive water from the underground water table. There is no shortage of water and water is essentially free to MDB. The power used in MDB's operations is provided by diesel generators. Normally, MDB purchases diesel periodically from local distributors. There has been no shortage of fuel available for purchase. The price of diesel in Brazil has not seen a decline despite of the large drop in oil prices globally.

Other Equipment

Besides its large processing and recovery plant for alluvial diamonds and gold (described above), MDB owns an excavator, a bulldozer, three trucks, and several portable generators and pumps.

3)	RST Recursos Minerais Ltda. ("RST")

In 2014, we acquired from two Brazilian individuals, unrelated to us, 50% of RST for approximately $254,000. Previously in 2008, RST had been transacted for $10.5 million; the buyer paid $2 million and subsequently was unable to pay the remainder because of the global financial crisis. The RST mineral rights remained largely untouched prior to our acquisition.

RST has a storied history as holder of highly attractive areas for diamonds and gold. Most of its current mining concessions and mineral rights have never had land-based exploration. Most of the RST areas were previously the property of Mineração Tejucana S.A., a well-known Brazilian mining enterprise that mined inside the Jequitinhonha River by dredge boat.

Currently RST has title to 9 mining concessions and several other mineral rights, as seen in table attached above. All of RST areas are for diamonds and some for gold as well and are located in the Jequitinhonha River valley in the northern part of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil.

The quality of the RST areas is evidenced in an NI 43-101 technical report published in 2008 by Vaaldiam, its predecessor owner. We do not claim that RST's NI 43-101 technical report is compliant with the SEC-sanctioned Industry Guide 7. Under the SEC's Industry Guide 7, no assertion can be made about reserves; moreover, Industry Guide 7 does not recognize the term "resources."

Item 6. Selected Financial Data.

The information to be reported under this Item is not required of smaller reporting companies.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes to those financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Report.

This Annual Report contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements for Brazil Minerals, Inc. reflect current expectations, as of the date of this Annual 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, among others: 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.

Overview

a)	10 mineral rights that are mining concessions, the highest level of mineral right in Brazil ("Concessão de Lavra");

b)	8 mineral rights that have status just below mining concession ("Requerimento de Lavra"), which allows us to apply for both an upgrade to mining concession and to conduct limited commercial mining;

c)	8 mineral rights in the research permit phase ("Autorização de Resquisa"); and

d)	12 mineral rights in the phase of application for research permit ("Requerimento de Pesquisa").

Details on each of these mineral rights can be found in Item 2. Properties of this Report on Form 10-K.

The second manner in which we expanded as a company from 2013 to now is in the product mix output from our Brazilian subsidiaries. In 2013, we produced and sold rough diamonds and gold. In 2014, we added polished diamonds. In 2015, we added sand and mortar, a product made from our sand.

From 2013 to today, we have been taking shape as a holding company owner of different subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2016, we materially owned the following stakes:

(1)	100% of BMIX Participações Ltda ("BMIXP");
(2)	100% of Mineração Duas Barras Ltda ("MDB");
(3)	50% of RST Recursos Minerais Ltda. ("RST");
(4)	100% of Hercules Resources Corporation ("HRC");
(4)	100% of Hercules Brasil Ltda. ("HBR");
(5)	58% of Jupiter Gold Corporation ("JGC").

During the second semester of 2016, we achieved the deployment of the initial portions of a modular gold and diamond processing plant in one of its mining concessions. The remainder of such modular plant was deployed in 2017. The plant uses centrifugation as the primary method of gold separation. Material identified as potentially containing diamonds is retrieved and further processed in specific high-precision equipment for detection of diamonds.

Results of Operations

Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2016 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2015

In 2016, we had revenues of $13,323, as compared to revenues of $63,610 in 2015, a decline of 79.1%. The decrease was primarily due to lesser mining activities, as we awaited deployment of a modular plant with new methodology for recovery of gold and diamonds, which occurred after the year end.

Our consolidated cost of goods sold in 2016 was $218,245, consisting of production expenses related to the initial exploration of a new mining area, and were comprised primarily of diesel, machinery rentals and labor expenses. Our consolidated cost of goods sold in 2015 was $163,149, also consisting of production expenses. The increase of 33.8% between production costs in 2016 versus 2015 is explained by the much higher level of expenditures needed to tackle the further exploration and initial mining of a new area.

In 2016, our gross loss was $204,922. By comparison, our gross loss in 2015 was $99,539, and such difference is explained by both lower revenues and high production expenses in 2016 as detailed above.

We had an aggregate of $1,117,699 in operating expense in 2016, as compared to an aggregate of $1,183,257 in operating expenses in 2015, an improvement of $65,558 or 5.6%. This decrease was mostly due to lower professional fees and general and administrative expenses, both of which declined more than the increase seen in compensation and related costs and stock-based compensation.

In 2016, we had total other expenses of $417,008, as compared to $595,473 in total other expenses in 2015, an improvement of $178,465 or 30.0%. This decrease was due to lower gain on derivative liability, amortization of debt discounts and other fees, and extinguishment of debt in 2016 which more than offset higher interest on promissory notes and other expense as compared to 2015.

In 2016, we experienced a net loss attributable to Brazil Minerals, Inc. of $1,588,418, as compared to a net loss of $1,878,268 in 2015, an improvement of $289,850 or 15.4%. On a per share basis (both basic and diluted), the 2016 net loss attributable to Brazil Minerals, Inc. was $0.08versus $0.80 in 2015.

In 2016, we had comprehensive loss attributable to Brazil Minerals, Inc. stockholders of $1,588,418, as compared to a loss of $2,191,625, an improvement of $603,207 or 27.5%.

Net cash used in operating activities was $647,406 in 2016, as compared to $965,918 in 2015, a decrease of $318,512 or 33.0%. Net cash provided by investing activities was $45,883 in 2016, as compared to $24,762 in 2015, an increase of $21,121 or 85.3%. Net cash provided by financing activities was $581,277 in 2016, as compared to $1,068,128 in 2015, a decrease of $486,851 or 45.6%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2016, we had total current assets of $121,572 compared to total current liabilities of $992,704 for a current ratio of 0.12 to 1 and working capital of ($871,132). By comparison, on December 31, 2015, we had total current assets of $262,429 compared to current liabilities of $1,404,594 for a current ratio of 0.19 to 1 and working capital of ($1,142,165). On an absolute basis, the relative improvement in working capital is primarily attributable to the decrease in outstanding convertible notes and other short-term obligations.

In both 2016 and 2015, our principal sources of liquidity were issuances of equity and convertible debt.

We believe that financial resources and funds generated from revenues, and equity and debt sales will provide cash flow for operations. We have no plans for any significant cash acquisitions in 2017 or in the foreseeable future.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We 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 December 31, 2016, it could negatively affect our financial position and liquidity and could result in our having understated our net loss.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 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 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The information to be reported under this Item is not required of smaller reporting companies.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

Our financial statements, including the notes thereto, together with the report from our independent registered public accounting firm are presented beginning at page F-1.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the design, operation, and effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as of December 31, 2016. On the basis of that evaluation, management concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed, and are effective, 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 Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

- 23 -

(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). The Company's internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to management and to the Company's Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's 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 management's evaluation under the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework, management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2016.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Since the Company is a non-accelerated filer, management's report is not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. As a result, this Annual Report contains only management's report on internal controls.

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2015 that materially affected, or would be reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

(d) Limitations of the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

The effectiveness of the Company's 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 the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will detect all errors or fraud. However, the Company's control systems have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and the Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Item 9B. Other Information.

None.

Ambassador Paul Durand, age 75, has been a director since 2012. He is also a director of Jupiter Gold Corporation, one of our subsidiaries. Ambassador Durand has had extensive experience in Latin America. From August 2001 to August 2006, He was Canada's Ambassador to the OAS. From August 2000 to July 2001 he was Canada's Ambassador to Chile, and from August 1992 to August 1995 he was Canada's Ambassador to Costa Rica, with concurrent accreditation to Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama. For the past five years, Ambassador Durand has also personally provided consulting services to several businesses and organizations, including the University of Ottawa advising the executive student class on political and economic conditions in Brazil and Chile; the OAS on elections and a referendum in Chile; and Infinito Gold Inc. on negotiations with the government of Costa Rica regarding the development of a gold mine. He has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Economy from the University of Toronto, and has pursued further studies in International Relations and Economics at Northwestern University in Chicago and Carleton University in Ottawa. Ambassador Durand joined the Canadian government after working in international banking in Latin America (Colombia, El Salvador), the Caribbean (Bahamas) and the U.S. We appointed Ambassador Durand as a director because of his extensive experience in Latin America, business and government contacts, management skills and judgment.

Board Composition

Our Board of Directors is currently composed of three members – Marc Fogassa, Ambassador Roger Noriega and Ambassador Paul Durand.

There are no family relationships among our directors and executive officers. There is no arrangement or understanding between or among our executive officers and directors pursuant to which any director or officer was or is to be selected as a director or officer, and there is no arrangement, plan, or understanding as to whether non-management shareholders will exercise their voting rights to continue to elect the current board of directors.

Our directors and executive officers have not, during the past ten years:

●	had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time,

●	been convicted in a criminal proceeding and is not subject to a pending criminal proceeding,

We do not have standing audit, nominating, or compensation committees. Currently, our entire Board of Directors is responsible for the functions that would otherwise be handled by these committees.

Code of Ethics

Our Board of Directors will adopt a new code of ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers, and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer. The new code will address, among other things, honesty and ethical conduct, conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, regulations and policies, including disclosure requirements under the federal securities laws, confidentiality, trading on inside information, and reporting of violations of the code.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

Our Board of Directors currently acts as our audit committee. We do not currently have an independent member of our Board of Directors who qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 407(e)(5) of Regulation S-K.

Director Compensation

The following table sets forth a summary of compensation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 that we paid to each director other than its Chief Executive Officer, whose compensation is fully reflected in the Summary Compensation Table.

No other or additional compensation for services were paid to any of the directors.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

Director Independence

Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services.

Audit Fees

On December 31, 2015, we engaged BF Borgers CPA PC ("Borgers") as our independent registered public accounting firm for the audit of our financial statements as of December 31, 2015. Borgers was also retained as our independent registered public accounting firm for the audit of our financial statements as of December 31, 2016. The fee that was billed by Borgers for the audit of our financial statements as of December 31, 2015 and for quarterly reviews during such year was $41,500. We expect that the total fees payable to Borgers for the audit of our financial statements as of December 31, 2016 will be $29,950.

Audit-Related Fees

During 2015 or 2016 there were no fees paid to Borgers in connection with our compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

No other fees were billed by Borgers for the last two years that were reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and not reported under "Audit Fees" above.

Tax Fees

There were no fees billed by Borgers during the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice, or tax planning. Accordingly, none of such services were approved pursuant to pre-approval procedures or permitted waivers thereof.

All Other Fees

There were no other non-audit-related fees billed to us by Borgers in 2015 or 2016.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

Engagement of accounting services by us is not made pursuant to any pre-approval policies and procedures. Rather, we believe that our accounting firm is independent because all of its engagements by us are approved by our Board of Directors prior to any such engagement.

Our Board of Directors will meet periodically to review and approve the scope of the services to be provided to us by its independent registered public accounting firm, as well as to review and discuss any issues that may arise during an engagement. The Board is responsible for the prior approval of every engagement of our independent registered public accounting firm to perform audit and permissible non-audit services for us, such as quarterly financial reviews, tax matters, and consultation on new accounting and disclosure standards.

Before the auditors are engaged to provide those services, our Chief Financial Officer and Controller will make a recommendation to the Board of Directors regarding each of the services to be performed, including the fees to be charged for such services. At the request of the Board of Directors, the independent registered public accounting firm and/or management shall periodically report to the Board of Directors regarding the extent of services being provided by the independent registered public accounting firm, and the fees for the services performed to date.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Brazil Minerals, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Brazil Minerals, Inc. ("the Company") as of December 31, 2015 and 2016 and the related statement of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Brazil Minerals, Inc., as of December 31, 2015 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Description of Business

Brazil Minerals, Inc. ("BMIX" 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, through subsidiaries, mines and sells diamonds, gold, sand and mortar. The Company, through subsidiaries, outright or jointly owns 10 mining concessions and 28 other mineral rights in Brazil, for diamonds, gold,sand, and manganese. The Company, through subsidiaries, owns one large, fixed plant and one modular, mobile plant for diamond and gold processing and recovery, a sand processing and mortar plant, trucks and earth-moving capital equipment used for mining.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 99.99% owned subsidiary, BMIX Participações Ltda. ("BMIXP"), which includes the accounts of BMIXP's wholly-owned subsidiary, Mineração Duas Barras Ltda. ("MDB").

During the year ended December 31, 2014, BMIXP acquired an initial 25% interest in RST Recursos Minerais Ltda. ("RST"), and during the first quarter of 2015, it acquired an additional 25% interest in RST, thus bringing its total ownership of RST to 50%. As of March 18, 2015, RST has been consolidated within the Company's financial statements.

On April 17, 2015, BMIXP incorporated Hercules Resources Corporation ("HRC"). On May 27, 2015, HRC formalized title to 99.99% of Hercules Brasil Comercio e Transportes Ltda. ("Hercules Brasil"). Thus, as of December 31, 2016, Hercules Brasil is a wholly owned subsidiary and has been consolidated within the Company's consolidated financial statements.

On July 27, 2016, upon approval by its Board of Directors, the Company entered into a stock purchase and sale agreement pursuant to which HRC transferred its 99.99% equity interest in Mineração Jupiter Ltda ("MJL") to the Company which immediately thereafter sold such equity interest to Jupiter Gold Corporation ("JGC"), a newly created company, in exchange for all of the common stock of JGC. On December 16, 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") declared effective a Registration Statement filed by JGC for the sale of shares in a public offering in the U.S. As of December 31, 2016, the Company has ownership of approximately 58% of the equity of JGC. As such, the accounts and results of JGC and MJL have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. See Note 2 for more information.

All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Share Count

All share and per share amounts have been restated to give effect to a 1-for-500 reverse split of the Company's common stock which was filed in the state of Nevada on December 15, 2016 and became effective on January 27, 2017.

Going Concern

The 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, from royalties, and/or from the sale of equity and/or debt securities. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company funded operations primarily through the sale of debt and equity securities and through the receipt of proceeds from revenues. Management's plan to fund its capital requirements and ongoing operations include an increase in cash received from sales of gold and rough diamonds recovered from a new modular processing and recovery plant. This modular plant is owned by JGC. Gold revenues are split on a 50% basis with JGC, while diamond revenues are kept 100% by the Company. There will likely be an opportunity to cut and polish certain of the larger rough diamonds recovered from such plant. Despite a processing loss of 50% to 60% in size in the cutting and polishing of a diamond, and the cost and time involved in such, cut and polished diamonds can sell for up to ten times or more of the sale price of rough diamonds of the same weight. Management's secondary plan to cover any shortfall is selling its equity securities, including common stock in the Company or common stock in JGC that it owns, and obtaining debt financing. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts.

BRAZIL MINERALS, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") of the United States of America and are presented in U.S. dollars.

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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure. Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of our Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our Company's assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company's derivative liabilities were considered a level 2 liability. See Note 4 for a discussion regarding the determination of the fair market value. The Company does not have any level 3 assets or liabilities.

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, taxes recoverable, prepaid expenses, inventory, deposits and other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred revenue and convertible notes payable. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due to either length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent that the funds are not being held for investment purposes. The Company's bank accounts are deposited in FDIC insured institutions. Funds held in U.S. banks are insured up to $250,000 and funds held in Brazilian banks are insured up to $250,000 Brazilian reais (translating into approximately $76,500 as of December 31, 2016).

Inventory

Inventory for the Company consists of diamonds, gold, ore stockpile, parts, supplies and related production costs and is stated at lower of cost or market. The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realizable value and all losses, are recognized in the period the write-down of loss occurs. At December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, inventory consisted primarily of rough ore stockpiled for further gold and diamonds recovery. No value was placed on sand.

BRAZIL MINERALS, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Value-Added Taxes Receivable

The Company records a receivable for value added taxes recoverable from Brazilian authorities on goods and services purchased by its Brazilian subsidiaries. The Company intends to recover the taxes through the acquisition of capital equipment from sellers who accept tax credits as payments. On April 20, 2016, the Company's taxes receivable decreased by $50,496 with the recovery of such amount being used in the acquisition of a Mercedes Benz truck, through a state-government program.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major improvements and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the statements of operations as other gain or loss, net.

The diamond and gold processing plants, vehicles, and other machinery are depreciated over an estimated useful life of 10 years; and computer and other office equipment over an estimated useful life of 3 years. Accumulated depreciation as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, was $271,208 and $188,421 respectively.

Mineral Properties

Costs of exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral lease properties are normally expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs, including licenses and lease payments, are normally capitalized. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's rights. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.

Impairment losses are recorded on mineral properties used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company did not recognize any impairment losses related to mineral properties held.

Intangible Assets

For intangible assets purchased in a business combination, the estimated fair values of the assets received are used to establish their recorded values. For intangible assets acquired in a non-monetary exchange, the estimated fair values of the assets transferred (or the estimated fair values of the assets received, if more clearly evident) are used to establish their recorded values, unless the values of neither the assets received nor the assets transferred are determinable within reasonable limits, in which case the assets received are measured based on the carrying values of the assets transferred. Valuation techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach and/or cost approach are used to measure fair value. Intangible assets consist of mineral rights awarded by the Brazilian national mining department ("DNPM") and held by MDB, RST, BMIXP, and MJL.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

For long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization, the Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when products are fully delivered or services have been provided and collection is reasonably assured. Typically, the Company records revenues upon delivery of the products to the customer. As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had deposits of $0 and $0, respectively, related to proceeds received for future diamond and gravel sales which have been recorded as customer deposits. See Note 4 and 6 for additional information related to these agreements.

Costs of Goods Sold

Included within costs of goods sold are the costs of cutting and polishing rough diamonds and costs of production such as diesel fuel, labor, machine rentals, and transportation.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. ASC 718 requires companies to measure compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation at fair value at the grant date and recognize the expense over the employee's requisite service period. Under ASC 718, volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock or the expected volatility of the stock of similar companies. The expected life assumption is primarily based on historical exercise patterns and employee post-vesting termination behavior. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which was developed for use in estimating the fair value of options. Option-pricing models require the input of highly complex and subjective variables including the expected life of options granted and the expected volatility of our stock price over a period equal to or greater than the expected life of the options. Because changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimated value of our employee stock options, it is management's opinion that the Black-Scholes option-pricing model may not provide an accurate measure of the fair value of our employee stock options. Although the fair value of employee stock options is determined in accordance with ASC Topic 718 using an option-pricing model, that value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/willing seller market transaction.

The Company has adopted a stock plan to attract, retain and motivate its directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors. The Company's stock plan approved in 2013 provides for the issuance of up to 30,000 common shares for employees, consultants, directors, and advisors.

Foreign Currency

The Company's Brazilian subsidiaries use the Brazilian Real, the currency of Brazil, as the functional currency. Resulting translation gains or losses are recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Transaction gains or losses related to balances denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Net foreign currency transaction losses included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations were negligible for all periods presented.

F-9

BRAZIL MINERALS, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company's deferred tax assets had a full valuation allowance.

Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is "more likely than not" that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the "more likely than not" test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company has identified the United States Federal tax returns as its "major" tax jurisdiction.

Basic Income (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. As of December 31, 2016, the Company's potentially dilutive securities relate to common stock issuable in connection with convertible notes payable, options and warrants. As of December 31, 2016, if all holders of preferred stock, convertible notes payable, options and warrants exercised their right to convert their securities to common stock, the common stock issuable would be in excess of the Company's authorized, but unissued shares of common stock.

Other Comprehensive Income

Other comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources, other than net income and including foreign currency translation adjustments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This update requires capitalized debt issuance costs to be classified as a reduction to the carrying value of debt rather than a deferred charge, as is currently required. This update is effective for the Company for all annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and is required to be adopted retroactively for all periods presented. The Company adopted this ASU with no impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements as the issuance costs were already accounted for as a reduction of the carrying value of the debt.

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern", which requires management to evaluate, at each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued and provide related disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods thereafter. The guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

F-10

BRAZIL MINERALS, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The amendments in this update simplify the presentation of deferred taxes by requiring deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. These amendments may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 840), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments in this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, for a public entity. Early adoption of the amendments in this standard is permitted for all entities and the Company must recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect this guidance will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

We have reviewed other recent accounting pronouncements issued to the date of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements, and we do not believe any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company.

NOTE 2 –ACQUISITIONS

RST Recursos Minerais Ltda

In June 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase 25% of the equity of RST for cash payments of 250,000 Brazilian Reais and the issuance of shares of the Company's common stock valued at 100,000 Brazilian Reais. In connection with this agreement the Company issued 2,858 shares of common stock with a value of $43,868 and made cash payments of $107,858. At December 31, 2014, the investment was accounted for using the equity method. Effective March 18, 2015, the Company purchased an additional 25% of RST from a third party for $400,000 Brazilian Reais or $124,680. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is to make monthly payments ranging from $75,000 Brazilian Reais to $100,000 Brazilian Reais beginning March 25, 2015. As of December 31, 2015, all required payments had been made. In December 2015, the 2,858 shares of common stock previously issued with a value of $43,868 were returned to the Company. The Company reversed the initial amount of the investment recorded upon return.

As a result of the additional 25% acquired, the Company owns 50% of RST and has consolidated the operations in the Company as of March 18, 2015. The remaining 50% ownership is held by Brazil Mining, Inc. ("BMI"), a Marshall Islands corporation which is deemed to be controlled by the Company's Chief Executive Officer. On the date of consolidation, the Company determined the fair market value of RST to be $570,548. The fair market value was based upon the average price paid by the Company for the 50% ownership, including the relief of monies advanced to RST and increasing for the non-controlling interest which represents 50%. The Company allocated 100% of the fair market value to the mineral rights held by RST.

The purpose of the Company's acquisition of RST was due to the quality of its mineral assets, close proximity to the Company's MDB original diamond and gold processing plant, and attractive acquisition price. Pro-forma financial statements have not been provided as the assets, liabilities and operations of RST are not significant.

NOTE 7 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Brazil Mining, Inc.

Previously the Company had amounts due from Brazil Mining, Inc. ("BMI"), a related party through common management. The loans did not incur interest and were due on demand. During the year ended December 31, 2015, BMI transferred equipment with a carrying value of $44,854 to the Company as a partial offset to the amounts due. During December 2015, in satisfaction of the remaining receivable, BMI transferred the rights to two mineral right properties. At the time of the transfer, the Company's subsidiary RST retained a 50% ownership in these rights, thus, the value of the two mineral rights transferred is included within consolidation of RST. Thus, the Company recorded other expense of $93,580 during the year ended December 31, 2015 as the assets had already been reflected at their fair market value on the Company's financial statements.

Chief Executive Officer

As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, amounts payable to the Chief Executive Officer for accrued salaries, retirement contributions, and advances made net of any repayments included within related party payable were $310,259 and $160,214, respectively. During 2016, the Chief Executive Officer made advances of $21,220 to the Company.
