largest potash fertilizer project in Brazil, today announced the
signing of a Preliminary Cooperation Agreement with the Mura

Project (the "Project").
The Agreement, signed by the Company's
wholly-owned subsidiary Potássio do Brasil Ltda., establishes a
preliminary framework for collaboration between the Project and the
Mura Indigenous communities. Key elements include:

the "Plano Bem Viver Mura" - a sustainable development program

social and cultural development initiatives for indigenous villages
represented by CIM

socioeconomic and environmental programs aligned with current
environmental licensing and legal requirements
"This Agreement formalizes our commitment to
promoting sustainable development in partnership with the Mura
people," said Adriano Espeschit, President of Potássio do Brasil.
"Following their strong support of the Project in September 2023,
we are pleased to formalize an initial framework that will create
lasting positive impact for indigenous communities while advancing
Brazil's domestic potash production capabilities.”
The Agreement was developed in accordance with
the Mura People's requirements and follows extensive community
engagement led by CIM, the officially recognized representative
body of the Mura People of Autazes.
About Brazil
Potash
Brazil Potash (NYSE-American: GRO)
(www.brazilpotash.com) is developing Brazil’s largest potash
project that will supply sustainable fertilizers to one of the
world’s largest agricultural exporters. Brazil is critical for
global food security as the country has amongst the highest amounts
of fresh water, arable land, and an ideal climate for year-round
crop growth but is vulnerable as it imports over 95% of its potash
fertilizer despite having what is anticipated to be one of the
world’s largest undeveloped potash basins in its own backyard. The
potash produced will be transported primarily using low-cost river
barges on an inland river system in partnership with Amaggi
(www.amaggi.com.br), one of the largest farmers and logistical
operators of agricultural products in Brazil. With initial planned
annual potash production of 2.4 million tons per year, Brazil
Potash will supply approximately 17% of the growing potash demand
in Brazil with future plans to double output. 100% of Brazil
Potash’s production will be sold domestically to reduce Brazil’s
reliance on potash imports while concurrently mitigating
approximately 1.4 million tons per year of GHG emissions.
