MANAUS, Brazil, Aug. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brazil Potash Corp. ("Brazil Potash" or the "Company") (NYSE:GRO), a mineral exploration and development company with a critical mineral potash agriculture project, the Autazes Potash Project (the "Autazes Project"), today announced that, further to the Company’s press release dated July 16, 2026, Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court (Supremo Tribunal Federal or "STF"), the country’s highest court, has rejected a petition that sought, among other relief, to halt construction permits and other development activities at the Autazes Project.

The petition, filed by Brazil's Federal Public Defender's Office (Defensoria Pública da União, or "DPU"), sought to suspend the effects of favorable decisions previously issued by Brazil’s Federal Court of Appeals. On August 18, 2026, the President of the STF, Justice Edson Fachin, reject the petition in full.

In his decision, Justice Fachin found that the requirements for this exceptional type of proceeding had not been met, including because there was no demonstrated serious harm to public order or the economy. The decision also noted that such proceedings cannot be used as a substitute for the appropriate appellate process.

With this decision, the Court of Appeal’s favorable rulings remain in effect, and the petition does not affect the current status of the Autazes Project’s licensing or ongoing development activities. The Company remains committed to the responsible and transparent development of the Autazes Project, in compliance with applicable environmental, social and legal requirements, and views today's decision as a positive step in the continued advancement of the Project.
