Brazil Potash Corp. (Brazil Potash), a company developing and constructing the largest potash fertilizer project in Brazil, the Autazes Potash Project, announces that its wholly owned Brazilian subsidiary, Potassio do Brasil, has received two water resource operating licenses (Outorga de uso de recurso hídrico) from the Amazon State Environmental Protection Institute (IPAAM) for the Project. These licenses authorise the company to operate two deep water wells that will provide potable water for both construction and operational phases of the project and advance the previously granted installation licenses for construction. These wells will supply sufficient fresh potable water for the processing plant needs. These permits mark the first phase of operations for the project.
The water resource operating permits cover the project's comprehensive water supply system, which is strategically divided between the processing plant area and port facilities located approximately 8 km away. The deep wells, located within the plant site boundaries, are designed to meet all drinking quality (potable) water requirements during the construction phase and for future operations.
"Securing these water resource operating permits represents a key advancement in our construction," said Matt Simpson, Chief Executive Officer of Brazil Potash. "Independent testing has confirmed both water quality and quantity meet all regulatory requirements, including sustainable usage parameters. Having dedicated, high-quality water sources within our project boundaries enhances our operational planning and demonstrates our commitment to sustainable resource management."
Mr. Simpson continued, "we continue to advance the Project, with strong support from all levels of government who recognise the urgent need to establish domestic potash production for Brazilian farmers. This license represents another step forward in our mission to provide Brazilian farming communities with a secure, domestic source of potash."
