NYSE American: GRO (Brazil Potash Corp., referenced)
Overview
Brazil Potash Corp. ("Brazil Potash" or the "Company") announced that, further to its press release dated July 16, 2026, Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (Supremo Tribunal Federal or "STF"), the country's highest court, has rejected a petition that sought, among other relief, to halt construction permits and other development activities at the Autazes Potash Project (the "Autazes Project"), according to the company.
The petition was filed by Brazil's Federal Public Defender's Office (Defensoria Pública da União, or "DPU") and sought to suspend the effects of favorable decisions previously issued by Brazil's Federal Court of Appeals, according to the company. On August 18, 2026, the President of the STF, Justice Edson Fachin, rejected the petition in full, the company stated.
Key Highlights

- The decision leaves in place favorable rulings previously issued by Brazil's federal Court of Appeals, the company stated.
- According to the company, a court-supervised consultation process with the Mura people resulted in more than 90% support for the Autazes Project, which is owned by Brazil Potash.
- In his decision, Justice Fachin found that the requirements for this exceptional type of proceeding had not been met, including because there was no demonstrated serious harm to public order or the economy, according to the company.
- The decision also noted that such proceedings cannot be used as a substitute for the appropriate appellate process, the company stated.
- The petition does not affect the current status of the Autazes Project's licensing or ongoing development activities, according to the company.

About Brazil Potash
Brazil Potash (NYSE-American: GRO) (www.brazilpotash.com), through its subsidiary Potássio do Brasil, is developing the Autazes Project to supply potash 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.
