Brazil Potash announced its 2025 achievements and outlined strategic priorities for 2026 as it advances the Autazes Potash Project toward full construction. "2025 has been a transformative year for Brazil Potash, marked by exceptional progress across commercial, financial, operational, and community initiatives," said Matt Simpson, Chief Executive Officer of Brazil Potash. "We've secured binding commitments for over 90% of our planned production, strengthened our world-class Board and leadership team, advanced critical site preparation activities, and deepened our partnerships with local communities including the Mura indigenous people. As we enter 2026, we are laser-focused on completing engineering, securing construction financing, and advancing toward full-scale construction of this strategically important project for Brazil's agricultural independence."

Brazil Potash announced the initiation of an Artificial Intelligence Optical Ore Sorting trial to evaluate underground pre-concentration technology that could significantly enhance project economics and operational efficiency. The Company is conducting trials with advanced AI-powered X-ray Transmission sorting technology to pre-sort mined ore either underground prior to hoisting or at surface prior to processing. This innovative approach utilizes artificial intelligence algorithms combined with optical sensing technology to identify and separate valuable potash ore from waste material. This results in the potential to significantly reduce the main mine shaft diameter and/or processing plant size resulting in lower construction and operating costs.

Brazil Potash announced the appointment of Sergio Leite as President of Potassio do Brasil Ltda., the Company's wholly-owned Brazilian subsidiary responsible for the development and construction of the Autazes Potash Project. As CEO of Companhia Siderurgica do Pecem, a joint venture between Vale S.A. and Korean steel companies POSCO and DongKuk, he led a team that negotiated a $2.9B loan contract with a pool of banks including Brazil's BNDES, Korean Export Credit Agencies and a syndicate of eight banks.
