Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
1. | Reporting entity and going concern |
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 Companys 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 Companys 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:

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 Companys LP based on a motion from a non-governmental organization that the Companys 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 tribes 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 Companys licenses.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
1. | Reporting entity and going concern (continued) |
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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 entitys 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.

11. | Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies |
The Companys 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.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
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 Companys risk exposures and the impact on the Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 | ||||||

(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 Companys 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 Companys 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.
