"We have worked diligently to complete what we believe is a game-changing set of transactions for our shareholders," explained Marc Fogassa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Brazil Minerals. "We are excited about increasing production from Duas Barras over the next several quarters and the opportunities to reduce our costs significantly. Concurrently, we are evaluating opportunities to enhance the value of the Borba Project. Completing the going-public transaction provided us with financial flexibility and reduced our cost of capital. We will deploy our capital as a private equity investor would to maximize the value of our portfolio of assets."
