(“Brazil Potash” or the “Company”) (NYSE-American: GRO), a developer and builder of Brazil’s largest potash fertilizer project (the “Autazes Project”), today announced a series of decisions by the Vice-President of the Brazilian court of appeal (the Federal Regional Court of the 1st Region (“TRF-1”)), that mark a further advance in establishing the legal status of the Autazes Project. “These rulings reinforce the strong legal foundation on which we are advancing the Autazes Project,” said Sergio Leite, President of Potássio do Brasil, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. “We remain fully committed to the responsible development of the Autazes Project and to continuing engaging collaboratively with stakeholders as we advance toward construction," added Leite. In conducting the admissibility review of special and extraordinary appeals filed by the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office (“MPF”), the Mura Indigenous Leadership Organization of Careiro da Várzea (“OLIMCV”), and the Lago do Soares Indigenous Community, the Vice-President concluded that the appeals do not meet the legal requirements for processing before the Superior Court of Justice (“STJ”) and the Federal Supreme Court (“STF”), and ruled them inadmissible. As a result, the rulings issued by the 6th Panel of the TRF-1 remain in force. Those rulings recognize, among other points, the regularity of the consultation process conducted with the Mura Indigenous people, the authority of the Amazonas Environmental Protection Institute (“IPAAM”) to conduct the Autazes Project's environmental licensing, and the validity of the environmental licenses issued for the Autazes Project. The new decisions did not re-examine the merits of the 6th Panel's rulings. Rather, they prevented referral of the appeals to the STJ and STF for lack of the procedural requirements for admissibility, preserving the effectiveness of the decisions already issued by the Regional Court. The decisions add to a series of favourable rulings the Company has obtained within the TRF-1 in respect of the Autazes Project, reflecting that the principal legal disputes related to environmental licensing and the Indigenous consultation process have been repeatedly reviewed and decided by the Regional Court. Procedural measures provided for under Brazilian law, such as interlocutory appeals (agravos) against the inadmissibility decisions, may still be available to the parties. The Company cannot predict whether any further procedural measures will be pursued or their outcome. The Company nonetheless views the current scenario as a further important step toward establishing the legal status of the Autazes Project and the continuity of its development. About Brazil Potash Brazil Potash (NYSE-American: GRO) (www.brazilpotash.com) is developing the Autazes Project to supply 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 it is vulnerable as it imported approximately 97% of its potash fertilizer in 2025, 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 Brazil's largest farmers and logistical operators of agricultural products. With an initial planned annual potash production of up to 2.4 million tons per year, Brazil Potash's management believes it could potentially supply approximately 20% of the current potash demand in Brazil. Management anticipates 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.
