− Lowest all-in delivered cost to

Brazil

− Cost to mine, process and

deliver equivalent to importers

delivery costs alone

− Brazil is one of the world’s largest exporters of agricultural products

− World’s second largest and highest growth rate market for potash but

imports 94% of its needs 14,000 to 20,000km from mines

− Project located only 8km from major river flowing to farm region

− Brazil’s potash basin estimated to be ~2/3 the size of Saskatchewan

and ~2x Russian Ural potash basin

− Proven and probable reserves support 34 year mine life based on

drilling only 10% of the land potentially mineralized

− Potash is an essential

nutrient to grow food with

no substitute

− Highest value mainstream

Brazil is a Rapidly Growing Agricultural Powerhouse BUT Imports ~94% of its Potash Need

• Brazil is one of the world’s largest net exporters of agricultural products

• Agribusiness currently represents ~24% of Brazil’s GDP and has significant growth potential with GAGR estimated at 4.4%2

• Brazil is the second highest consumer of potash globally at 10.2Mtpa (16% of global production) with CAGR of 3.5%2

Substantial and Sustainable Logistics Cost Advantage Also Results in GHG Emission Reductions

• Imported potash primarily from Canada and Russia travels 14,000 to 20,000 kilometers by rail, boat and then truck to reach Brazilian fertilizer blenders

• By being located in Brazil only 8km from major river system, logistics cost savings of ~US$129 / tonne and GHG emission reduction of ~508kt/yr CO2eq relative to Canadian and Russian producers

Low Cost Water Transportation Access to Farmers

• Product transportation by water is the lowest cost means

- Rail tends to be >2.5x

- Trucking typically >10x

• Strategic location close to farmingregions of Brazil

- Largest soybean producing areas, major consumers of potash

- Nearly 50% of total agricultural production in Brazil

• Experiencing significant agriculture expansion with large and undeveloped rural properties

• Potential to achieve even higher agricultural yields through better use of fertilizers

Autazes Creates Significant Employment and Positive Social Impacts

◼ Remove thousands of people from diesel generated power by connecting to Brazil’s national electricity grid –~75% hydro1

◼ Sustainable jobs for the people in the Amazon

◼ 1,500 direct construction jobs and 1,200 direct jobs during several decades of operation

◼ Potash supply facilitates the reuse of existing arable land –mitigating deforestation

◼ Unnecessary international transport of potash saves ~508kTpa of GHG emissions

◼ Dry stacked tailings are ultimately disposed underground resulting in no legacy footprint

◼ Investing in local school programs that ensure ~170 children learn core skills such as growing vegetables and school tutoring
