Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

Brazil Potash Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada by Articles of Incorporation on October 10, 2006. The Company remained inactive until June 16, 2009. On June 18, 2009, the Company’s subsidiary Potassio do Brasil Ltda. (the “Subsidiary”) was incorporated. On November 27, 2024, the Company commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange America (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “GRO”. The principal activity of Brazil Potash Corp. is the exploration and development of potash properties in Brazil. The Company’s head office is located at 198 Davenport Road, Toronto, Ontario, M5R 1J2, Canada.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary that is listed in the following table:
| % Ownership | |||||||

The Company received its Preliminary Social and Environmental License (the “LP”) for its potash mining project in Brazil (the “Autazes Project”) from the Amazonas Environmental Protection Institute (“IPAAM”) in July 2015 based on submission of a full Environmental and Social Impact Assessment prepared by the Company and its consultant Golder Associates Inc. (“Golder”) in January 2015. Prior to receiving the LP, the Company and Golder participated in public hearings and conducted several rounds of consultations with local indigenous communities near the Autazes Project in accordance with the guidelines and requirements established by Fundação Nacional do Índio (“FUNAI”). Despite this work, the Brazil Federal Public Ministry opened a civil investigation in December 2016 that questioned the validity of the Company’s LP based on a motion from a non-governmental organization that the Company’s consultations with indigenous communities were not conducted in compliance with International Labour Organization Convention 169, as Brazil is a signatory to this international convention. As a result of the foregoing investigation, in March 2017, the Company agreed with the court overseeing such investigation, the Brazil Federal Public Ministry, the Brazilian Amazonas Environmental Protection Institute, the Brazilian National Mineral Agency, FUNAI, and representatives of the Mura indigenous people (who make up the over 40 indigenous communities and tribes near the Autazes Project) to suspend its LP and to conduct additional consultations with the local Mura indigenous communities near the Autazes Project in accordance with International Labour Organization 169 (the “March 2017 Suspension Agreement”).
On September 25, 2023, the Mura indigenous people completed free and informed consultations following United Nations International Labour Organization Convention 169 protocols with over 90% voting in support, based on 94% of the invited tribe’s participating, to permit and construct the Project.
On August 25, 2023, the Company submitted to the Brazilian Amazonas Environmental Protection Institute (IPAAM) an application for the Installation License to ensure that the Company moved to the next stage of our permitting process, prior to the expiration of our Preliminary Environmental License on August 31, 2023 in accordance with its terms. On October 17, 2023, the Appellate Court accepted the new action from the Attorney General of the State of Amazonas and granted an injunction to suspend the Subsequent Lower Court Decision, therefore reinstating the environmental licensing and allowing licensing to proceed, as well as clarifying that the Brazilian Amazonas Environmental Protection Institute has jurisdiction over issuing the Company’s licenses.

As of August 2024, the Company has received from the Brazilian Amazonas Environmental Protection Institute all of the 21 Installation Licenses required for the construction of the Autazes Project.
Going Concern
The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires an assessment on the validity of the going concern assumption. The validity of the going concern concept is dependent on financing being available for the continuing working capital requirements of the Company and for the development of the Company’s projects.
The Company incurred a loss of $18,401,362 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 ($1,452,605 for the three months ended March 31, 2024) and as at March 31, 2025 had an accumulated deficit of $176,975,026 (December 31, 2024 - $158,573,664) and working capital of $13,342,620 as at March 31, 2025 (including cash of $13,730,112) (December 31, 2024 – working capital of $17,863,159 (including cash of $18,861,029)).
The Company requires equity capital and/or financing for working capital and exploration and development of its properties as well as to repay its trade payables and current liabilities. As a result of continuing operating losses, the Company’s continuance as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain adequate financing and financing to repay its current obligations, finance its exploration and development activities, and to reach profitable levels of operation. It is not possible to predict whether financing efforts will be successful or if the Company will obtain the necessary financing in order to finance its exploration and development activities or to attain profitable levels of operations. Management has previously been successful in raising the necessary funding to continue operations in the normal course of operations and during the year ended December 31, 2024, closed an initial public offering (the “IPO”) and commenced trading on the NYSE.
However, there is no assurance, that the Company will continue to be successful in closing the offering of shares, be successful in raising sufficient financing, or achieve profitable operations, to fund its operating expenses, or the future exploration and development of its properties. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amount, or classification of assets and liabilities, if the Company was unable to continue as a going concern. These adjustments may be material.
On the basis that additional funding as outlined above has and will be received when required, the directors are satisfied that it is appropriate to continue to prepare the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company on the going concern basis.
2. Basis of preparation
a) Statement of compliance:
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are in compliance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS^®^”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB^®^”), have been omitted or condensed. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
| 2. | Basis of preparation (continued) |
|---|
a) Statement of compliance (continued):
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on May 9, 2025.
b) Material accounting policies:
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared using the same accounting policies and methods as those used in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, except as noted below.
Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
Certain pronouncements were issued by the IASB or the IFRIC that are mandatory for accounting periods commencing on or after January 1, 2026. Many are not applicable or do not have a significant impact to the Company and have been excluded.
IAS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statement: In April 2024, the IASB issued the new standard IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements. This standard aims to bring more transparency and comparability to the financial performance of companies, enabling investors to make better investment decisions. IFRS 18 introduces three sets of new requirements: improved comparability of the profit or loss statement (statement of income), improved transparency of management-defined performance measures, and more useful grouping of information in financial statements. IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements. This standard becomes effective for years beginning on or after January 1, 2027, and companies may apply it earlier subject to authorization by relevant regulators. The Company is assessing the impacts to ensure that all information complies with the standard.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures: In May 2024, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued narrow scope amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments. The amendments were incorporated into Part I of the CPA Canada Handbook - Accounting in October 2024. The amendments provide clarification that a financial liability is derecognized on the ‘settlement date’, i.e., the date on which the liability is extinguished as the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expired and provide an accounting policy option to derecognize a financial liability that is settled in cash using an electronic payment system before the settlement date if specified criteria are met. An entity that elects to apply this derecognition option shall apply it to all settlements made through the same electronic payment system. The amendments also clarify how to assess the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets with contingent features, including environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) linked features and clarify that, for a financial asset to have ‘non-recourse’ features, the entity’s ultimate right to receive cash flows must be contractually limited to the cash flows generated by specified assets. The amendments also include factors that an entity should consider when assessing the cash flows underlying a financial asset with non-recourse features (the ‘look through’ test), clarify the characteristics of the contractually linked instruments that distinguish them from other transactions; and add new disclosure requirements for investments in equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial instruments that have certain contingent features. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. Earlier application is permitted. The amendments are to be applied retrospectively. In applying the amendments, an entity is not required to restate comparative periods.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company entered into agreements to lease, for a term of six years, 15 rural properties consisting of a total area of approximately 4.2 square miles, which primarily will be used for the sites of dry stacked tailings piles. Each of these lease agreements also provides the Company with a right of first refusal to purchase the applicable leased property in the event of a sale of such property. The Company recognized a right-of-use asset and a lease liability of $778,479 on inception of the leases.

Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the statement of financial position date. Lease payments are apportioned between interest expenses and a reduction of the lease liability using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate of 12.75% to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balances of the liabilities.

| 11. | Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies |
|---|
The Company’s financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, trade payables and accrued liabilities. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance to fund operations.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
| 11. | Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (continued) |
|---|
The Company does not enter into any derivative transactions.
The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:
Credit risk
Credit risk arises when a failure by counterparties to discharge their obligations could reduce the amount of future cash inflows from financial assets. With respect to credit risk arising from financial assets of the Company, which comprise cash and minimal receivables, the Company’s exposure to credit risk arises from default of counterparties, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. Cash and cash equivalents are held with high credit quality financial institutions. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to these financial instruments is remote.
Liquidity risk
The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at March 31, 2025, the Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $13,730,112 (December 31, 2024 - $18,861,029) to settle current liabilities of $3,008,797 (December 31, 2024 - $3,087,293).
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments.
(a) Interest rate risk
The Company has cash and cash equivalent balances as at March 31, 2025. The Company considers interest rate risk to be minimal as cash is held on deposit at major financial institutions.
(b) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is created by fluctuations in the fair value or cash flows of financial instruments due to changes in foreign exchange rates and exposure as a result of investment in its foreign subsidiary. The Company’s foreign currency risk arises primarily with respect to the Canadian dollar and Brazilian Reais. Fluctuations in the exchange rates between these currencies and the US dollar could have a material impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company does not engage in hedging activity to mitigate this risk.
The following summary illustrates the fluctuations in the exchange rates applied during the three months ended March 31, 2025:
| Average rate | Closing rate | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CAD | 0.7302 | 0.6956 | ||
| BRL | 0.1709 | 0.1742 |

(b) Foreign currency risk (continued)
A $0.01 strengthening or weakening of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar at March 31, 2025 would result in an increase or decrease in operating loss of $6,500 and an increase or decrease in other comprehensive income of approximately $nil. A $0.01 strengthening or weakening of the US dollar against the Brazilian Real would result in an increase or decrease in operating loss of approximately $nil and an increase or decrease in other comprehensive loss in the condensed interim consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss of approximately $3,905,000.
(c) Capital management
The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern in order to support the ongoing exploration and development of its mineral property in Brazil and to provide sufficient working capital to meet its ongoing obligations.
In the management of capital, the Company includes the components of shareholders’ equity, cash and cash equivalents, as well as short-term investments (if any).
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in accordance with the aforementioned objectives, as well as, in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, acquire or dispose of assets and adjust the amount of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. There is no dividend policy. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements, nor is its subsidiary in Brazil. There were no changes to the Company’s capital management during the three months ended March 31, 2025 or the year ended December 31, 2024.

On November 1, 2024, the Company and its Subsidiary entered into an option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with Franco-Nevada Corporation (“Franco Nevada”), pursuant to which, in exchange for the payment by Franco-Nevada to the Company of cash consideration of $1,000,000, Franco-Nevada acquired an option (the “Option”) to purchase a perpetual royalty equal to 4% of the gross revenue from all of the muriate of potash the Company will produce and sell from the Autazes Property (the “Royalty”). The Royalty would also apply to any potash produced and sold from other properties (including after-acquired properties) owned or held by the Subsidiary or any of its affiliates, where such potash is processed using processing facilities related to the Autazes Project. The purchase price for the Royalty (the “Royalty Purchase Price”) will be equal to the amount that would result in the forecasted Royalty revenue yielding Franco-Nevada a 12.5% pre-tax internal rate of return, and will be calculated at the earlier of (i) the time at which Franco-Nevada exercises the Option, and (ii) the beginning of the final 60-day period in which Franco-Nevada is permitted to exercise the Option under the terms of the Option Agreement. The calculation of the forecasted Royalty revenue will be based on forecasted annual production volumes of the Autazes Project, as outlined in the definitive feasibility study for the Autazes Project and analyst long-term consensus prices for potash (cost and freight Brazil). Following the exercise by Franco-Nevada of the Option pursuant to the Option Agreement and subject to the conditions precedent described below, the Royalty Purchase Price will be paid by Franco-Nevada, if and when the Company has obtained full financing of project costs to achieve a minimum rate of potash production at the Autazes Project (as set forth in the Option Agreement), in quarterly installments pro rata with other sources of financing. The Royalty Purchase Price will only be used by the Company to fund costs for the construction and operation of the Autazes Project. Franco- Nevada is not obligated to pay any portion of the Royalty Purchase Price until certain conditions precedent are satisfied or waived, including, among others, (a) the Company’s Subsidary and its affiliates, Franco-Nevada, and each third-party lender providing financing for the Autazes Project entering into an intercreditor agreement; (b) receipt of all necessary regulatory and material third-party approvals and consents for the Autazes Project; and (c) the Subsidiary providing Franco-Nevada evidence of the continued availability of financing for the Autazes Project (including completed equity financings representing at least 30% of the total costs to achieve a minimum rate of potash production at the Autazes Project, as set forth in the Option Agreement). Franco Nevado is also a shareholder of the Company.
On November 13, 2024, a supplier of the Company filed a statement of claim in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in the amount of $367,080. As at March 31, 2025, the Company has not recorded this amount in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements as it believes the claim is without merit.

Overview
We are a mineral exploration and development company, and our primary mining project is the Autazes Project located in the Amazon potash basin near the city of Autazes in the state of Amazonas, Brazil. Our technical operations are based in Autazes, Amazonas, Brazil and Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, and our registered corporate office is located at 198 Davenport Road, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. We were incorporated pursuant to the provisions of the OBCA on October 10, 2006. We have one wholly-owned subsidiary, Potássio do Brasil Ltda., a company organized under the laws of Brazil. We are an exploration and development company and have not yet commenced any mining operations. Our plan of operations for the next few years includes, subject to securing sufficient funds, commencing primary construction of the infrastructure of the Autazes Project.
Once our operations commence, our operating activities will be focused on the extraction and processing of potash ore from the underground mine of the Autazes Project and selling and distributing the processed potash in Brazil. We hold all of the mineral rights for the Autazes Project through our wholly-owned local subsidiary in Brazil, Potássio do Brasil Ltda., and such mineral rights are registered with the Brazilian National Mining Agency. We currently have rights of access to a significant amount of the land planned for the Autazes Project, including all of the land on which our proposed mine shafts, processing plant and port will be constructed. We will only be able to start mining activities after obtaining the Mining Concession, which has not yet been granted. For additional information, see “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Regulatory Overview—Brazilian Mining Regulations” and “Item 4.D. Property, Plant and Equipment—Description of the Autazes Project and the Autazes Property” in the 2024 Annual Report.
The Autazes Project is located within the Amazon potash basin, between the Amazon River and the Madeira River, approximately 75 miles southeast of the city of Manaus, in the municipality of Autazes. Autazes is located in the eastern part of the Amazonas State, Brazil. The Autazes Project is comprised of mineral claims with a cumulative area of approximately 680 square miles in the Amazon potash basin. The mineralization composition of the Amazon Basin is described as sylvinite with layers of halite, anhydrite and others (e.g., kieserite, polyhalite, and others). The Autazes Property contains a sylvinite deposit that is subdivided into three mineralized zones. The top of the sylvinite deposit, being the potash-bearing horizon, was determined to be at a depth between approximately 0.4 – 0.5 miles. The total thickness of the potash-bearing horizon in the explored area of the Autazes Property is between 2.3 – 13.1 feet.

Our primary goal is to win a significant share of the Brazilian potash market and be the sustainable potash supplier-of-choice for Brazilian farmers. We intend to be a significant domestic source of potash fertilizer in Brazil in order to alleviate Brazil’s dependence on imported potash and farmer supply-chain risk, while supporting economic prosperity and agricultural sustainability in Brazil and food security globally. We plan to accomplish this goal by pursuing the following strategies:
| • | focus solely on providing our potash produced from the Autazes Project to Brazilian farmers;<br> |
|---|---|
| • | establish and maintain a position as the lowest-cost provider of potash in Brazil; |
| --- | --- |
| • | establish strategic partnerships within the potash industry; |
| --- | --- |
| • | nurture opportunity for sustainability leadership and innovation; and |
| --- | --- |
| • | expand our potash production capabilities and growth opportunities. |
| --- | --- |
For more information on our growth strategies, see “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Our Business Objectives and Growth Strategies” in the 2024 Annual Report.
To date, we have spent approximately $260 million in connection with the development and advancement of the Autazes Project, including to fund our exploration and development expenses, and begin construction of the Autazes Project.
To accomplish our primary business objectives (each of which also constitute a significant event that must occur for the business objectives to be accomplished), the key milestones to be achieved, the anticipated timing, and the expected aggregate costs thereof include: (i) development of and entry into the Impact Benefit Agreement with the Mura indigenous communities near the Autazes Project, which are anticipated to occur in 2025 at an estimated cost of $2.5 million; (ii) completion of the purchases of the additional land that primarily will be used for the sites of our dry stacked tailings, which is anticipated to occur in 2026 at an estimated cost of $2.8 million; (iii) completion of additional engineering and a feasibility study for the Autazes Project that will incorporate recent optimization work on the shaft sinking technology to be used, which is anticipated to occur in 2026 at an estimated cost of $3.2 million; (iv) completion of basic engineering design work, which is anticipated to occur in 2026 at an estimated cost of $8.6 million; (v) commencement of construction on the Autazes Project, with an emphasis on critical path items including shaft sinking and the ordering of long lead items, which is anticipated to occur in 2026 at an estimated initial cost to commence construction of $8.7 million (with the currently estimated total cost of construction for the Autazes Project being $2.5 billion (not including financing fees, working capital and potential cost overruns), and we estimate that 60%–65% of the total cost of construction will be financed by debt with the balance being financed by additional equity issuances), and (vi) obtaining debt financing to fund a substantial portion of the construction costs of the Autazes Project, which we will seek to obtain in the second half of 2026.
The above guidance as to the funding requirements and timeline for developing the Autazes Project is based on our best estimates as of the date of this Interim Report. Achievement or timing of the above milestones could be affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, economic and financial conditions that may affect our ability to raise additional funds. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below and “Item 3.D. Risk Factors” in the 2024 Annual Report.
Key FactorsImpacting our Operating Results When our Mining Operations Commence
Price of Potash
Once we commence our mining operations, our financial performance will be significantly affected by the market price of potash. Potash prices have historically been subject to wide fluctuations and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including international economic and political conditions, levels of supply and demand, the availability and cost of substitutes, inventory levels maintained by producers and others, and, to a lesser degree, inventory carrying costs and currency exchange rates.

The market price for potash in Brazil is typically quoted as the daily Cost and Freight (CFR) price for granular potash delivered to Brazil, which is established by sales transactions between buyers and sellers. For further information on the drivers and trends affecting the market price of potash, see “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Our Industry and Market Opportunity” in the 2024 Annual Report.
Production Volume, Ore Grade and Mineral Reserves
Our production volume, the ore grade of the potash from the Autazes Project mine, and our Mineral Reserves will affect our business performance. The Autazes Project has Measured Mineral Resources (excluding Mineral Reserves) of approximately 18 million tons at an average grade of 22.5% muriate of potash (which we refer to as “MOP”), Indicated Mineral Resources (excluding Mineral Reserves) of approximately 48 million tons at an average grade of 25.9% MOP, and Inferred Mineral Resources (excluding Mineral Reserves) of approximately 107 million tons at an average grade of 30.3% MOP. Total Proven Economically Recoverable Reserves are approximately 69 million tons at an average grade of 28.9% MOP. Probable Economically Recoverable Reserves are approximately 122 million tons at an average grade of 27.5% MOP. The estimated life of the mine on the Autazes Property is 23 years, which estimate is based on the portion of the ore body that is currently being permitted for future construction and mining. For more details, see “Item 4.D. Property, Plant and Equipment—Description of the Autazes Project and the Autazes Property—Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimates” in the 2024 Annual Report.
Commercial Terms
We intend to sell our mined and processed potash mostly through take or pay offtake contracts with terms between five and ten years, and with only a small portion being sold on the spot market. The agreements with our customers are expected to include customary commercial terms, such as cost, insurance and freight, free on board, free carrier, and cost and freight.
Sales prices for our potash will be based on the daily spot Cost and Freight (CFR) price for granular potash delivered to Brazil on barge loading for customer delivery, adjusted for the net freight differential of our anticipated lower domestic inland Brazil transportation cost as compared to importers of potash, less a slight discount. We intend to sell all of our potash to end users in Brazil.
Operating Costs andExpenses
Our ability to manage our operating costs and expenses will be a significant driver of our business performance. We intend to focus on ensuring stable, high levels of potash production to keep unit costs down while controlling and limiting our costs and expenses so that we can have more flexibility to overcome less favorable pricing conditions if and when they arise. However, we may not be able to adjust production volume in a timely or cost-efficient manner in response to changes in pricing. For example, lower utilization of production capacity during periods of weak potash prices may expose us to higher unit production costs since a significant portion of our cost structure will be fixed in the short-term due to the high capital nature of mining operations. In addition, efforts to reduce costs during periods of weak prices could be limited by labor regulations or previous labor or governmental agreements.
Energy Costs
Our total energy costs are expected to be mainly composed of long-term electricity supply contracts with fixed transmission fees and variable energy consumption fees. We expect that the electricity for our mining operations will be provided by a planned 500 kV power transmission line that will be connected to Brazil’s national power grid near the Amazon city of Manaus. We expect to commence construction of the power transmission line after we obtain the applicable construction permit.
Effects of Exchange Rate Fluctuations
Prices for our products will be denominated in U.S. dollars. A significant portion of our production costs, however, will be denominated in Brazilian real, so there will be a mismatch of currencies between our revenue and costs. As a result, our results of operations and financial condition are, and, after our mining operations begin, will be, affected by changes in exchange rates between the Brazilian real and the U.S. dollar. As of March 31, 2025, the exchange rate was R$5.74 per US$1.00.
3
Environmental Expenses
The Autazes Project mine will operate under licenses issued by Brazilian governmental authorities that control, among other things, air emissions and water discharges, and the mine will be subject to stringent laws and regulations relating to waste materials and various other environmental matters. Additionally, the Autazes Property will need to be rehabilitated when we ultimately finish and cease our mining operations there.
We intend to make investments to enhance our ability to comply with all applicable environmental standards and to reduce our environmental impact in the areas in which we operate. We intend to have environmental improvement initiatives relating to reducing emissions and waste and improving the efficiency of use of natural resources and energy. Where appropriate, we will establish environmental provisions for restoration or remediation of contamination and disturbance on the Autazes Property.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
Revenues
We did not generate any revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, as we are an exploration and development company and have not yet commenced any mining operations and potash production.
Operating Loss
Our operating loss increased to approximately $18.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to approximately $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to an increase in our general and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of consulting and management fees, professional fees, share-based compensation, travel expenses, general office expenses, and communications and investor relations expenses. We had higher (i) consulting and management fees during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024; (ii) professional fees due to increased legal and accounting fees during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024; (iii) share-based compensation costs, as we granted 511,000 RSUs to certain consultants and a director during the three months ended March 31, 2025; (iv) travel expenses during the three month ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, due to an increased number of business trips in 2025; and (v) communications expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, as we increased our investor relations activities in 2025.
6
Net Loss
Our net loss increased to approximately $18.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to approximately $1.5 million for the three ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to higher share-based compensation costs, higher travel expenses, higher communications expenses and higher consulting and management fees, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
To date, we have generated no cash from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities. All costs and expenses in connection with our formation, development, legal fees and administrative support have been funded by our borrowings under loan agreements, the proceeds from private placements of our Common Shares, including to our majority shareholders, and the proceeds from our Regulation A Offering and our IPO.
On May 6, 2025, the Company announced that it entered into a definitive agreement (the “ELOC Purchase Agreement”) establishing an equity line of credit (“ELOC”) with Alumni Capital LP (“Alumni”), an institutional investor. Under the terms of the ELOC Purchase Agreement, Brazil Potash has the right to sell, and Alumni has the obligation to purchase, up to $75 million worth of common shares over a 24-month period at prices that are based on the market price at the time of each sale to Alumni, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions. Brazil Potash, at its sole discretion, controls the timing and amount of all sales of common shares associated with the ELOC, subject to the limitations contained in the ELOC Purchase Agreement. The issuance of the common shares to Alumni is being made pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the federal and state securities laws. Pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement, the Company must register Alumni’s resale of the common shares to be purchased. We believe that the ELOC will provide the company with a flexible source of funding, enabling judicious planning for the timing and amount of any equity sales, which will be critical as we advance site preparation and construction activities for the fully-permitted Autazes Project. See also “Subsequent Events—ELOC Purchase Agreement” below.
Our future expenditures and capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including the progress of our development efforts.
Our business does not currently generate any cash. We believe that with the net proceeds from the IPO in the amount of approximate $22.7 million, we will have sufficient capital to finance our development and operations through 2025. However, if our development and operating costs and expenses are higher than expected, we may need to obtain additional financing prior to the end of 2025. Furthermore, we expect that we will be required to raise additional funds to finance our operations until such time that we can conduct profitable revenue-generating activities. No assurances can be made that we will be successful in obtaining additional equity or debt financing, or that ultimately, we will commence profitable operations and achieve positive cash flow.
Our approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that we will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As of March 31, 2025, we had a cash and cash equivalents balance of approximately $13.7 million to settle current liabilities of approximately $3.0 million.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities increased to approximately $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to approximately $0.7 million for the three ended March 31, 2023. This increase is primarily due to (i) a higher net loss, which was approximately $18.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to approximately $1.5 million for the three ended March 31, 2024, and (ii) changes in working capital, which was approximately $(614,095) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to approximately $150,972 for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities increased to approximately $(0.9) million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to approximately $(0.6) million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to higher exploration and evaluation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $14 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which includes cash proceeds from the exercise of stock. Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately nil for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Cash and cash equivalents
Our cash and cash equivalents balance was approximately $13.7 million as of March 31, 2025, as compared to $18.9 million as of December 31, 2024, due to the cash proceeds received from our IPO and the exercise of stock options less expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Initial Public Offering
On November 29, 2024, the Company closed its IPO upon which it issued 2,000,000 common shares of the Company at a price of $15.00 per common share. The aggregate offering price of the shares sold was approximately $28.2 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions. Other than the underwriting discounts and commissions, expenses payable by us in connection with the initial public offering were approximately $5.5 million. The net proceeds we received from the offering were approximately $22.7 million. The common shares of the Company began trading on November 27, 2024, on the NYSE American under the trading symbol “GRO”.
Additionally, upon the closing of the IPO, we issued warrants to the underwriters (the “Underwriters’ Warrants”), which are exercisable for the number of our Common Shares equal to 5% of the total number of Common Shares sold in the initial public offering (i.e., 100,000 Common Shares). Subject to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), the Underwriters’ Warrants will be exercisable, in whole or in part, from time to time after six months from November
8
26, 2024, and will expire on the date that is two years from November 26, 2024. The Underwriters’ Warrants will be exercisable at an exercise price equal to 130% of the initial public offering price of the Common Shares sold in the initial public offering (i.e., $19.50). Additionally, the Underwriters’ Warrants provide for certain additional registration rights, including a one-time demand registration right at our expense and unlimited piggyback rights, with such registration rights expiring five years from November 26, 2024. As of the date of this Interim Report, none of the Underwriters’ Warrants have been exercised by the underwriters.
Plan of Operations
As noted above, the continuation of our current plan of operations requires us to raise significant amounts of additional capital.
We are an exploration and development mineral mining company, which began operations in October 2006. Our plan of operations for the next few years includes, subject to securing sufficient funds, commencing primary construction of the infrastructure of the Autazes Project. We continually evaluate our plan of operations to determine the manner in which we can most effectively utilize our limited cash resources. The timing of completion of any aspect of our plan of operations is highly dependent upon the availability of cash to implement that aspect of our plan and other factors beyond our control. There is no assurance that we will successfully obtain the required capital or revenues, or, if obtained, that the amounts will be sufficient to fund our ongoing plan of operations.
These circumstances represent material uncertainties that may cast substantial doubt on our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.
Capital Expenditures
We do not have any contractual obligations for ongoing capital expenditures at this time.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
We are a party to certain consulting agreements, which provide, as of March 31, 2025, for aggregate change in control payments by us of approximately $20.6 million to certain of our directors, executives and consultants upon the occurrence of a change in control (as such term is defined in each respective consulting agreement) of our Company, and aggregate termination payments by us of approximately $9.9 million upon the respective termination of such directors, executives and consultants. As a triggering event under such consulting agreements has not taken place, these amounts have not been recorded on our consolidated financial statements.
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date our consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to us, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Our management assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against us or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, we, in consultation with our legal counsel as appropriate, evaluate the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought in connection therewith. If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued on our financial statements. If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable, but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of the possible loss, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed on our financial statements unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. We are not aware of any matters which result in a loss contingency.
9
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements.
TREND INFORMATION
Impact of any Business Disruptions on our Business Operations
Our operations could be significantly adversely affected by unpredictable and unforeseen events, such as extreme weather conditions, acts of God, epidemics such as the COVID-19 outbreak, and other natural or manmade disasters and business interruptions, and the related economic consequences. For example, our additional consultations with indigenous communities near the Autazes Project in accordance with International Labour Organization Convention 169, which initially started in November 2019, were suspended in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and we were allowed to resume such consultations in April 2022 following the lifting of COVID-19 related restrictions.
We cannot accurately predict the impact any such business disruptions will have on our operations and the ability of others to meet their obligations with us, including uncertainties relating to the ultimate duration and impact of any such business disruptions. For example, a significant outbreak of a contagious disease in the human population, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could further affect our operations and our ability to finance our operations.
Going Concern
Our consolidated financial statements as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2025, have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon our ability to raise additional capital as required.
We incurred a net loss of approximately $18.4 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $177.0 million and working capital of approximately $13.3 million (including cash of approximately $13.7 million).
We require additional financing for working capital and the continuing development of the Autazes Project, as well as to repay our trade payables. As a result of our continuing operating losses, our continuance as a going concern depends on our ability to obtain adequate financing to pay our current obligations, finance our development activities, and reach profitable levels of operation. It is not possible to predict whether any financing efforts will be successful or if we will obtain the necessary financing. We have previously been successful in raising the necessary financing to continue our operations in the normal course, and we have been able to consummate multiple equity financings through private placements of our Common Shares. Additionally, we have entered into various loan agreements to borrow funds to fund our operating expenses. Furthermore, we raised an aggregate of approximately $40.5 million in gross proceeds pursuant to our Regulation A Offering, and $30.0 million in gross proceeds pursuant to our IPO.
To date, we have generated no cash from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities. All costs and expenses in connection with our formation, development, legal fees and administrative support have been funded by our borrowings under loan agreements, the proceeds from private placements of our Common Shares, including to our majority shareholders, the proceeds from our Regulation A Offering, and the proceeds from our IPO. Currently, we intend to finance our operations through additional equity and debt financings. For more information regarding our ability to fund our ongoing operations, see “Item 14.E. Use of Proceeds” in the 2024 Annual Report.
10
We continually evaluate our plan of operations to determine the manner in which we can most effectively utilize our limited cash resources. The timing of completion of any aspect of our plan of operations is highly dependent upon the availability of cash to implement that aspect of the plan and other factors beyond our control. However, there is no assurance that we will be successful in raising sufficient financing or achieving profitable operations to fund our operating expenses or future development of the Autazes Project. These circumstances raise a material uncertainty related to events or conditions that cast substantial doubt on our ability to continue as a going concern, and therefore, we may be unable to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amount or classification of assets and liabilities if we were unable to continue as a going concern. These adjustments may be material.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS, which requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in our consolidated financial statements. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our accounting estimates and assumptions on historical experience and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Additionally, we strive to make these estimates and assumptions in an appropriate manner and in a way that accurately reflects our financial condition. We will continually test and evaluate these estimates and assumptions using our historical knowledge of the business, as well as other factors, to ensure that they are reasonable for reporting purposes. However, actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Critical accounting policies are those policies that reflect significant estimates or judgments about matters that are both inherently uncertain and material to our financial condition or results of operations. See Note 4 – Critical Judgments and Estimation Uncertainties to our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 included elsewhere in this 2024 Annual Report.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 – Material Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 included elsewhere in this Interim Report.

Capitalized terms used herein without definition will have the meanings assigned to them in the ELOC Purchase Agreement.
The Company may, from time to time and at its sole discretion, direct Alumni to purchase Common Shares upon the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the ELOC Purchase Agreement at a purchase price per share based on the market price of Common Shares at the time of sale as computed under the ELOC Purchase Agreement. There is no upper limit on the price per share that Alumni could be obligated to pay for Common Shares under the ELOC Purchase Agreement. The Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of Common Shares to Alumni, and Alumni has no right to require the Company to sell any shares to it under the ELOC Purchase Agreement. In consideration for Alumni’s execution and delivery of the ELOC Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to Alumni (i) $375,000 worth of the Company’s Common Shares (the “First Tranche”) issuable within one business day from the earlier of (a) effectiveness of the Initial Registration Statement filed by the Company, and (b) 180 days from the Execution Date and (ii) $375,000 worth of the Company’s Common Shares issuable within 180 days from the date on which the First Tranche is required to be issued and delivered (such shares together with the First Tranche, the “Commitment Shares”), in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the ELOC Purchase Agreement.
The Company does not have a right to commence any sales of Common Shares to Alumni under the ELOC Purchase Agreement until the time when all of the conditions to the Company’s right to commence sales of Common Shares to Alumni set forth in the ELOC Purchase Agreement have been satisfied, including that a registration statement covering the resale of such shares is declared effective by the SEC and the final form of prospectus is filed with the SEC. The Common Shares that may be issued under the ELOC Purchase Agreement may be sold by the Company to Alumni at the Company’s discretion from time to time during the period commencing on the date on which Alumni receives the First Tranche of the Commitment Shares and ending on the earlier of (i) the second anniversary of the Execution Date, (ii) the date on which Alumni has received such number of Common Shares for aggregate consideration equal to $75.0 million pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement, and (iii) the date on which the Common Shares fail to be listed or quoted on NYSE American LLC or any successor stock market (the “Commitment Period”). During the Commitment Period, the Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of Common Shares to Alumni. Actual sales of Common Shares to Alumni under the ELOC Purchase Agreement, if any, will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the Common Shares and determinations by us as to the appropriate sources of funding and the Company’s operations.
In no event will the Company issue to Alumni under the ELOC Purchase Agreement more than 7,678,906 Common Shares, including the Commitment Shares, representing 19.99% of the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the ELOC Purchase Agreement (the “Aggregate Limit”), unless (i) the Company obtains the approval of the issuance of such shares by its shareholders in accordance with the applicable stock exchange rules, or (ii) the Company obtains and submits to the stock exchange and Alumni a written statement from an independent counsel in the Company’s home country certifying that the Company’s practices, including the practices of not obtaining shareholder approval to issue more than the Aggregate Limit, are not prohibited by the home country’s laws, or any equivalent document that serves such purpose with respect to the stock exchange.
In all cases, the Company may not issue or sell any Common Shares to Alumni under the ELOC Purchase Agreement which, when aggregated with all other Common Shares then beneficially owned by Alumni and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder), would result in Alumni beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the outstanding Common Shares (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). However, upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, Alumni may from time to time increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% and not lower than 4.99% as specified in such notice.

At any time during the Commitment Period, subject to other conditions, the Company may direct Alumni to purchase a number of Common Shares in an amount up to $1,000,000 (unless the Company and Alumni mutually agree in writing to increase the amount to an amount not to exceed $5,000,000) at a purchase price equal to 92.5% of the lowest daily VWAP (as defined in the ELOC Purchase Agreement) for the Common Shares during the five business days prior to the closing date with respect to a purchase notice.
The net proceeds under the ELOC Purchase Agreement to the Company will depend on the frequency and prices at which the Company sells its Common Shares to Alumni. The Company expects that any proceeds received by it from such sales to Alumni will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The ELOC Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and Alumni, limitations and conditions regarding sales of Common Shares, indemnification rights and other obligations of the parties.
From the Execution Date until the first anniversary of such date, upon any issuance, subject to certain exclusions, by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of Common Shares or any securities of the Company or its subsidiaries which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Shares, for cash consideration, indebtedness, or a combination thereof (a “Subsequent Financing”), Alumni has the right to participate in up to an amount of the Subsequent Financing equal to, in the aggregate, 5% of the amount sold in the Subsequent Financing on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing. Alumni has agreed that, during the term of the ELOC Purchase Agreement, it will not engage in or effect, directly or indirectly, any short sales involving the Company’s securities or any hedging transaction that transfers the economic risk of ownership of the Common Shares.
The ELOC Purchase Agreement will automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the end of the Commitment Period, or (ii) the date that the Company commences a voluntary case or any person commences a proceeding against the Company, a custodian is appointed for the Company or for all or substantially all of its property, or the Company makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors. In addition, the Company may terminate the ELOC Purchase Agreement at any time after the execution date of the ELOC Purchase Agreement effective upon at least five business days’ prior written notice to Alumni.
The above is a summary of the terms of the ELOC Purchase Agreement, which does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the ELOC Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 10.1 to the Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K furnished to the SEC on May 6, 2025.
