Item8.01 Other Events

On April 8, 2022, Brazil Minerals, Inc. (“Brazil Minerals”) filed applications and received the first priority for five exploratory permits for nickel within a total area of approximately 20,143 acres located in the municipality of Niquelândia, in the Brazilian state of Goiás. Brazil Minerals must await the actual publication of such permits in the government gazette prior to initiating any geological work in these mineral rights. Niquelândia, as its name implies (“land of nickel”), is home to nickel producers. Nickel is highly sought-after for rechargeable batteries and is on the list of critical minerals published by the U.S. Department of Interior.
