Brazil Potash (PRIVATE) has advanced its large-scale development stage potash project to a near construction ready state.

As a result, over 1.3 million tonnes of Greenhouse Gas emissions are unnecessarily generated from maritime transportation and potash production in jurisdictions with higher emission factors. Brazil Potash's sylvanite ore body is in Brazil beside a major river, which management anticipates will enable the company to extract, process and deliver potash for the same cost that importers pay for transportation alone. The company has completed a feasibility study, EISA and obtained the majority of the permits required for project construction. For more information, visit the company's website at: brazilpotash.com
