Brazil Potash advances Autazes Project construction with approval to perform fauna rescue and vegetation suppression

This represents an important milestone in the project’s installation phase, as it will allow for the excavation of two deep shafts to access the underground potash mine.

The scope of work was planned and designed by Potássio do Brasil in accordance with the Environmental Licenses, issued by the Amazonas State Environmental Protection Agency (IPAAM), which authorises the company to perform the project’s construction activities. These activities will follow a logical schedule to meet all environmental agency requirements, while enabling further construction of the project facilities.

“The contractor for the fauna rescue and vegetation suppression services has already been selected. We are taking another vital step in developing the project, ensuring that there will be no interference with the preservation of Amazonian cultural heritage for future generations,” said Adriano Espeschit, President of Potássio do Brasil. “The project areas have been the subject of thorough prior studies, as approved in our submissions to IPAAM and IPHAN. Each milestone we achieve brings us closer to providing Brazil with a domestic source of potash fertilizer, which is critical for the country's agricultural productivity and food security," added Espeschit.

“We will be creating more direct and indirect job opportunities in Vila de Urucurituba, in Autazes and the region, with contracted companies prioritising local labour,” added Raphael Bloise, Project Director at Potássio do Brasil, and directly responsible for the work in Autazes.
