This Post-Qualification Offering Circular Amendment No. 1 (this “PQA”) amends the Form 1-A Offering Statement of Brazil Potash Corp., a corporation organized in Ontario (the Company, we, or our), as filed on May 5, 2020, amended on June 11, 2020, and as qualified on June 26, 2020, relates to the offering (the “Offering”) of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, offered at a purchase price of $4.00, pursuant to Regulation A (Regulation A+), Tier 2 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Under our ongoing Offering, we have received to date aggregate net offering proceeds of $418,307.

Brazil Potash is offering up to 12,500,000 (the Maximum Offering) shares (the Shares) of our Common Stock (Common Stock) to be sold in this offering (the Offering). The Shares are being offered at a purchase price of $4.00 per share on a “best efforts” basis. See “Securities Being Offered” beginning on page 43 for a discussion of certain items required by Item 14 of Part II of Form 1-A. We are selling our Shares through a Tier 2 offering pursuant to Regulation A (Regulation A+) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and we intend to sell the Shares either directly to investors or through registered broker-dealers who are paid commissions. The Company has engaged Dalmore Group, LLC, a New York limited liability company and FINRA/SIPC registered broker-dealer (Dalmore), to provide broker-dealer services in connection with this Offering. This Offering will terminate on the earlier of (i) June 25, 2022, (ii) the date on which the Maximum Offering is sold, or (iii) when the Board of Directors of the Company elects to terminate the offering (in each such case, the Termination Date). We have engaged an escrow agent, TSX Trust Company, and have established an escrow account for the investor funds to be held for the benefit of investors prior to each closing. We are holding closings upon the receipt of investors’ subscriptions and acceptance of such subscriptions by the Company and such subscriptions are irrevocable. If, on the initial closing date, we have sold less than the Maximum Offering, then we may hold one or more additional closings for additional sales, until the earlier of: (i) the sale of the Maximum Offering or (ii) the Termination Date. There is no aggregate minimum requirement for the Offering to become effective, therefore, we reserve the right, subject to applicable securities laws, to begin applying “dollar one” of the proceeds from the Offering towards our business strategy, including without limitation, project development expenses, offering expenses, working capital and general corporate purposes and other uses as more specifically set forth in the “Use of Proceeds” section of this offering circular (Offering Circular). We expect to commence the sale of the Shares as of the date on which the offering statement of which this Offering Circular is a part (the Offering Statement) is qualified by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC).

Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. These are speculative securities. You should purchase these securities only if you can afford a complete loss of your investment. See “Risk Factors” starting on page 4 for a discussion of certain risks that you should consider in connection with an investment in our Common Stock.



THE SEC DOES NOT PASS UPON THE MERITS OF OR GIVE ITS APPROVAL TO ANY SECURITIES OFFERED OR THE TERMS OF THE OFFERING, NOR DOES IT PASS UPON THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY OFFERING CIRCULAR OR OTHER SOLICITATION MATERIALS. THESE SECURITIES ARE OFFERED PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION WITH THE COMMISSION; HOWEVER, THE COMMISSION HAS NOT MADE AN INDEPENDENT DETERMINATION THAT THE SECURITIES OFFERED ARE EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION.

iii


Unless otherwise indicated, data contained in this Offering Circular concerning the business of the Company are based on information from various public sources. Although we believe that these data are generally reliable, such information is inherently imprecise, and our estimates and expectations based on these data involve a number of assumptions and limitations. As a result, you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such data, estimates or expectations.
 
In this Offering Circular, unless the context indicates otherwise, references to the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to the activities of and the assets and liabilities of the business and operations of Brazil Potash Corp.
Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Regarding Reserve and Resource Estimates – The disclosure in this Offering Circular may use mineral resource classification terms that comply with reporting standards and securities laws in Canada, and mineral resource estimates that are made in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101), which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws.
The terms “mineral resource,” “measured mineral resource,” “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended; however, these terms are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7, as currently in effect and as set forth by the SEC, and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of a mineral deposit in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian securities laws and regulations, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of “contained ounces” in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC Industry Guide 7 standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. In addition, the terms “mineral reserve”, “proven mineral reserve” and “probable mineral reserve” are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with NI 43-101 and the CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended. These definitions differ from the definitions in Industry Guide 7. Under SEC Industry Guide 7 standards, as currently in effect, a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report reserves; the three-year historical average price, to the extent possible, is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority. Consequently, information regarding mineralization contained in this Offering Circular is not comparable to similar information that would generally be disclosed by U.S. companies in accordance with the rules of the SEC, as currently in effect.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
Some of the statements under “Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Our Business” and elsewhere in this Offering Circular constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “should,” “will” and “would” or the negatives of these terms or other comparable terminology.
iv

 
You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The cautionary statements set forth in this Offering Circular, including in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere, identify important factors which you should consider in evaluating our forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things:
 
 
The success of our mining operations will require significant capital resources;
 
 
The results of development;
  
 
Our ability to compete and succeed in a highly competitive industry;
 
 
Our lack of operating history on which to judge our business prospects and management;
 
 
Our ability to raise capital and the availability of future financing; and
 
 
Our ability to manage our development, expansion, growth and operating expenses.

Organizational Structure

The Company has a majority-owned subsidiary as set forth below:

 

Our Business

Brazil Potash is a private mineral exploration and development company with a near shovel ready potash project located in Amazonas, Brazil its base of technical operations in Manaus and Belo Horizonte, Brazil and a corporate office in Toronto, Canada.  All mineral rights are registered with the ANM in Brazil and are held by Brazil Potash’s majority owned local subsidiary Potassio do Brasil Ltda (PdB).

1

 
Description of Mineral Property

The Autazes Project property is located in the eastern portion of the state of Amazonas, within the Central Amazon Basin, between the Amazon River and the Madeira River, approximately 120 km southeast of the city of Manaus, northern Brazil. The Company holds claims, with a cumulative area of approximately 1,443.10 km2 (144,309.93 ha), in the Amazon Potash Basin within which the City of Autazes is located. All mineral rights for the Autazes Project registered with the Agência Nacional de Mineração (ANM) in Brazil are held by Brazil Potash's majority owned local subsidiary Potassio do Brasil Ltda (PdB).
Substantial work has also been completed to develop and derisk the project including 59,000m of drilling, completion of a Preliminary Economic Assessment, Feasibility Study, Environmental Impact Assessment, public hearings, purchase of surface rights at the mine, processing plant and port.  The Company’s current focus is to obtain the Installation License (LI) required to start project construction. Please see “Description of Property” on page 21 for more information.
Competition
 
The potash industry is subject to the following competitive factors. Competition may also arise from, among other things:
 
 Global macro-economic conditions and shifting dynamics, including trade tariffs and restrictions and increased price competition, or a significant change in agriculture production or consumption trends, could lead to a sustained environment of reduced demand for potash, and/or low commodity prices, favoring competitors;
 
 Brazil Potash products will be subject to price competition from both domestic and foreign potash producers, including foreign state-owned and government-subsidized entities;
 
 Potash is a global commodity with little or no product differentiation, and customers make their purchasing decisions principally on the basis of delivered price and, to a lesser extent, on customer service and product quality;
 
 Competitors and potential new entrants in the markets for potash have in recent years expanded capacity, begun construction of new capacity, or announced plans to expand capacity or build new facilities; and
 
 Some Potash customers require access to credit to purchase potash and a lack of available credit to customers in one or more countries could adversely affect demand for crop nutrients as there may a reluctance to replenish inventories in such conditions or may push customers to other producers.
 
Risks Related to Our Business
 
Our business and our ability to execute our business strategy are subject to a number of risks as more fully described in the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 4. These risks include, among others:
2

 
 
The success of our company will require significant capital resources for the development of the company’s mine project;
     
 
Our ability to compete and succeed in a highly competitive industry;

 
Our ability to raise capital and the availability of future financing;
 
 
Our ability to manage our development, growth and operating expenses.

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since inception, we have funded operations exclusively through private placement financings. Our future viability is largely dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital to finance our operations. Our management expects that future sources of funding may include sales of equity, obtaining loans, or other strategic transactions. Although our management continues to pursue these plans, there is no assurance that we will be successful with this Offering or in obtaining sufficient financing on terms acceptable to us to continue to finance our operations, if at all.

Additionally, as discussed in Note 1 to the December 31, 2020 and 2019 financial statements, the Company has incurred losses and has accumulated deficit, working capital deficiency and certain loans in default.

These circumstances raise a material uncertainty related to events or conditions that cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and therefore that it may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The 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.

Risks Related to our Business

Significant long-term changes in the agriculture space could adversely impact our business

The agricultural landscape is evolving at an increasingly fast pace as a result of factors including farm and industry consolidation, agricultural productivity and development and climate change. Farm consolidation in developed markets has been ongoing for decades and is expected to continue as grower demographics shift and advancements in innovative technology and equipment enables farmers to manage larger operations to create economies of scale in a lower-margin, more capital-intensive environment. Increased consolidation in the crop nutrient industry has resulted in greater resources dedicated to expansion, research and development opportunities, leading to increased competition in advanced product offerings and innovative technologies. Some of these competitors have greater total resources or are state-supported, which make them less vulnerable to industry downturns and better positioned to pursue new expansion and development opportunities. The advancement and adoption of technology and digital innovations in agriculture and across the value chain has increased and is expected to further accelerate as grower demographics shift and pressures from consumer preference and governments evolve. The development of seeds that require less crop nutrients, development of full or partial substitutes for potash or developments in the application of crop nutrients such as improved nutrient use or efficiency through use of precision agriculture could also emerge, all of which have the potential to adversely affect the demand for potash and results of operations. The prospective impact of potential climate change on our operations and those of our customers and farmers remains uncertain. Some scientists have suggested that the impacts of climate change could include changing rainfall patterns, water shortages, changing sea levels, changing storm patterns and intensities, and changing temperature levels, and that these changes could be severe. These impacts could vary by geographic location. These factors as well as other factors affecting long-term demand for our products and services (such as population growth and changes in dietary habits) could adversely impact our strategy, demand for potash and financial performance.

Shifting global dynamics may result in a prolonged agriculture downturn

Global macro-economic conditions and shifting dynamics, including trade tariffs and restrictions and increased price competition, or a significant change in agriculture production or consumption trends, could lead to a sustained environment of reduced demand for potash, and/or low commodity prices. The Potash market is subject to intense price competition from both domestic and foreign sources, including state-owned and government-subsidized entities. Potash is a global commodity with little or no product differentiation, and customers make their purchasing decisions principally on the basis of delivered price and, to a lesser extent, on customer service and product quality. Supply is affected by available capacity and operating rates, raw material costs and availability, government policies and global trade. Periods of high demand, high capacity utilization and increasing operating margins tend to result in investment in production capacity, which may cause supply to exceed demand and capacity utilization and realized selling prices for potash to decline, resulting in possible reduced profit margins. Competitors and potential new entrants in the markets for potash have in recent years expanded capacity, begun construction of new capacity, or announced plans to expand capacity or build new facilities. The extent to which current global or local economic and financial conditions, changes in such conditions or other factors may cause delays or cancellation of some of these ongoing or planned projects, or result in the acceleration of existing or new projects, is uncertain. Future growth in demand for our products may not be sufficient to absorb excess industry capacity. We are impacted by global market and economic conditions that could adversely affect demand for crop nutrients or increase prices for, or decrease availability of, raw materials and energy necessary to produce potash. This includes rising incomes in developing countries, the relative value of the US dollar and its impact on the importation of fertilizers, foreign agricultural policies, the existence of, or changes in, import or foreign currency exchange barriers in certain foreign markets and other regulatory policies of foreign governments, trade wars and measures taken by governments which may be deemed protectionist, as well as the laws and policies affecting foreign trade and investment. Furthermore, some customers require access to credit to purchase potash and a lack of available credit to customers in one or more countries, due to this deterioration, could adversely affect demand for crop nutrients as there may a reluctance to replenish inventories in such conditions.

Foreign Operations in Brazil

The mineral properties of Brazil Potash are located in Brazil. As a result, the operations of the company are exposed to various levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties associated with operating in a foreign jurisdiction.  These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, currency exchange rates; corruption; price controls; import or export controls; currency remittance; high rates of inflation; labour unrest; renegotiation or nullification of existing permits, applications and contracts; tax disputes; changes in tax policies; restrictions on foreign exchange; changing political conditions; community relations; currency controls; and governmental regulations that may require the awarding of contracts of local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction. Changes, if any, in mining or investment policies or shifts in political attitudes in Brazil or other countries in which Brazil Potash may conduct business, may adversely affect the operations of the company. Brazil Potash may become subject to local political unrest or poor community relations that could have a debilitating impact on operations and, at its extreme, could result in damage and injury to personnel and site infrastructure.

Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations may result in enforcement actions and include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installing of additional equipment or remedial actions.  Parties engaged in mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations.

Risks Related to Mining

Currency Rate Risk

The Company may be subject to currency risks. Brazil Potash’s reporting currency is the dollar of the United States of America, which is exposed to fluctuations against other currencies. Brazil Potash’s primary operations are located in Brazil where expenditures and obligations are incurred in Brazilian Real. As such, Brazil Potash results of operations are subject to foreign currency fluctuation risks and such fluctuations may adversely affect the financial position and operating results of Brazil Potash.  Brazil Potash has not undertaken to mitigate transactional volatility in the United States dollar to the Brazilian Real at this time. Brazil Potash may, however, enter into foreign currency forward contracts in order to match or partially offset existing currency exposures.
5


Government Regulation

The Company’s exploration operations are subject to government legislation, policies and controls relating to prospecting, development, production, environmental protection, including plant and animal species, and more specifically including mining taxes and labour standards. In order for the Company to carry out its activities, its various licences and permits must be obtained and kept current. There is no guarantee that the Company’s licences and permits will be granted, or that once granted will be maintained and extended. In addition, the terms and conditions of such licences or permits could be changed and there can be no assurances that any application to renew any existing licences will be approved. There can be no assurance that all permits that Brazil Potash requires will be obtainable on reasonable terms, or at all. Delays or a failure to obtain such permits, or a failure to comply with the terms of any such permits that Brazil Potash has obtained, could have a material adverse impact on the Company. Brazil Potash may be required to contribute to the cost of providing the required infrastructure to facilitate the development of its properties and will also have to obtain and comply with permits and licences that may contain specific conditions concerning operating procedures, water use, waste disposal, spills, environmental studies, abandonment and restoration plans and financial assurances. There can be no assurance that Brazil Potash will be able to comply with any such conditions and non-compliance with such conditions may result in the loss of certain of the Company’s permits and licenses on properties, which may have a material adverse effect on Brazil Potash. Future taxation of mining operators cannot be predicted with certainty so planning must be undertaken using present conditions and best estimates of any potential future changes. There is no certainty that such planning will be effective to mitigate adverse consequences of future taxation on the Company.

Unpredictable events, such as the COVID-19 outbreak, and associated business disruptions could seriously harm our future revenues and financial condition, delay our operations, increase our costs and expenses, and affect our ability to raise capital.
 
Our operations could be subject to unpredictable events, such as extreme weather conditions, acts of God and medical epidemics such as the COVID-19 outbreak, and other natural or manmade disasters or business interruptions, for which we may not be adequately self-insured. We do not carry insurance for all categories of risk that our business may encounter. The occurrence of any of these business disruptions could seriously harm our operations and financial condition and increase our costs and expenses. Additionally, COVID-19 has caused significant disruptions to the global financial markets, which could impact our ability to raise additional capital. The ultimate impact on us and the potash mining sector is unknown, but our operations and financial condition could suffer in the event of any of these types of unpredictable events. Further, any significant uninsured liability may require us to pay substantial amounts, which would adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Global Financial Conditions

Recent global financial conditions have been characterized by increased volatility and access to public financing, particularly for junior mineral exploration companies, has been negatively impacted. These conditions, which include potential disruptions may affect Brazil Potash’s ability to obtain equity or debt financing in the future on terms favorable to the Company or at all. If such conditions continue, Brazil Potash’s operations could be negatively impacted.

Commodity Markets

The price of Brazil Potash’s securities, its financial results, and its access to the capital required to finance its exploration activities may in the future be adversely affected by declines in the price of minerals, in particular, the price of potash.  Mineral prices fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control such as the sale or purchase of minerals by various dealers, central banks and financial institutions, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation, currency exchange fluctuation, global and regional supply and demand, production and consumption patterns, speculative activities, increased production due to improved mining and production methods, government regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use and importing and exporting of minerals, environmental protection, and international political and economic trends, conditions and events. If these or other factors continue to adversely affect the price of potash, the market price of Brazil Potash securities may decline and the Company’s operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Market Fluctuation and Commercial Quantities

The market for minerals is influenced by many factors beyond the Company’s control, including without limitation the supply and demand for minerals, the sale or purchase of minerals and fertilizer by various dealers, central banks and financial institutions, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation, currency exchange fluctuation, global and regional supply and demand, production and consumption patterns, speculative activities, increased production due to improved mining and production methods, government regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use and importing and exporting of minerals, environmental protection, and international political and economic trends, conditions and events. In addition, the minerals and fertilizer industry in general is intensely competitive and there is no assurance that, even if apparently commercial quantities and qualities of minerals (such as potash) are discovered, a market will exist for their profitable sale. Commercial viability of mineral deposits may be affected by other factors that are beyond the control of Brazil Potash, including the particular attributes of the deposit such as its size, quantity and quality, the cost of mining and processing, proximity to infrastructure, the availability of transportation and sources of energy, financing, government legislation and regulations including those relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, import and export restrictions, exchange controls, restrictions on production, and environmental protection. It is impossible to assess with certainty the impact of various factors that may affect commercial viability such that any adverse combination of such factors may result in Brazil Potash not receiving an adequate return on invested capital or having its mineral projects be rendered uneconomic.

Estimates of Mineral Resource Risks

Mineral resource estimates will be based upon estimates made by Brazil Potash personnel and independent geologists and qualified persons. These estimates are inherently subject to uncertainty and are based on geological interpretations and inferences drawn from drilling results and sampling analyses and may require revision based on further exploration or development work. The estimation of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues. As a result of the foregoing, there may be material differences between actual and estimated mineral reserves, which may impact the viability of the Company’s project and have a material impact on Brazil Potash.

The grade of mineralization which may ultimately be mined may differ from that indicated by drilling results and such differences could be material. The quantity and resulting valuation of mineral reserves and mineral resources may also vary depending on, among other things, commodity prices (which may render mineral reserves and mineral resources uneconomic), cut-off grades applied and estimates of future operating costs (which may be inaccurate). Production can be affected by such factors as permitting regulations and requirements, weather, environmental factors, unforeseen technical difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological formations and work interruptions. Any material change in quantity of mineral resources, mineral reserves, grade, or stripping ratio may also affect the economic viability of any project undertaken by Brazil Potash. In addition, there can be no assurance that mineral recoveries in small scale, and/or pilot laboratory tests will be duplicated in a larger scale test under on-site conditions or during production. To the extent that Brazil Potash is unable to mine and produce as expected and estimated, the Company’s business may be materially and adversely affected.

There is no certainty that any of the mineral resources identified on any of Brazil Potash properties will be realized, that any anticipated level of recovery of minerals will in fact be realized, or that an identified mineral reserve or mineral resource will ever qualify as a commercially mineable (or viable) deposit which can be legally and economically exploited. Until a deposit is actually mined and processed, the quantity of mineral resources and mineral reserves and grades must be considered as estimates only, and investors are cautioned that Brazil Potash may ultimately never realize production on any of its properties.

Insurance and Uninsured Risks

The Company’s business is subject to a number of risks and hazards generally, including adverse environmental conditions, industrial accidents, labor disputes, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, ground or slope failures, cave-ins, changes in the regulatory environment, natural phenomena such as inclement weather conditions, floods and earthquakes. Such occurrences could result in damage to mineral properties or production facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage to the Company’s properties or the properties of others, delays in the ability to undertake exploration, monetary losses and possible legal liability.

Although Brazil Potash may maintain insurance to protect against certain risks in such amounts as it considers to be reasonable, its insurance will not cover all the potential risks associated with its operations. Brazil Potash may also be unable to maintain insurance to cover these risks at economically feasible premiums. Insurance coverage may not continue to be available or may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability. Moreover, insurance against risks such as environmental pollution or other hazards as a result of exploration and production is not generally available to Brazil Potash or to other companies in the mining industry on acceptable terms. The Company might also become subject to liability for pollution or other hazards which it may not be insured against or which Brazil Potash may elect not to insure against because of premium costs or other reasons. Losses from these events may cause Brazil Potash to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon its financial performance and results of operations.

Health, Safety and Community Relations

The Company’s operations are subject to various health and safety laws and regulations that impose various duties on the Company in respect of its operations, relating to, among other things, worker safety and the surrounding communities. These laws and regulations also grant the relevant authorities broad powers to, among other things, close unsafe operations and order corrective action relating to health and safety matters. The costs associated with the compliance with such health and safety laws and regulations may be substantial and any amendments to such laws and regulations, or more stringent implementation thereof, could cause additional expenditure or impose restrictions on, or suspensions of, Brazil Potash’s operations. The Company expects to make significant expenditures to comply with the extensive laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment, waste disposal, worker safety, mine development and protection of endangered and other special status species, and, to the extent reasonably practicable, to create social and economic benefit in the surrounding communities near the Company’s mineral properties, but there can be no guarantee that these expenditures will ensure Brazil Potash’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations and any non-compliance may have a material and adverse effect on Brazil Potash.

Environmental Regulations and Risks

The Company’s activities are subject to extensive federal, state, and local laws and regulations governing environmental protection and employee health and safety. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner that is creating stricter standards, while enforcement, fines and penalties for non-compliance are more stringent. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations has the potential to reduce the profitability of operations.  Furthermore, any failure to comply fully with all applicable laws and regulations could have significant adverse effects on the Company, including the suspension or cessation of operations.

The current and future operations of the Company, including development and mining activities, are subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations governing environmental protection, including regarding protection and remediation of mining sites and other matters. Activities at the Company’s properties may give rise to environmental damage and create liability for the Company for any such damage or any violation of applicable environmental laws. To the extent the Company is subject to environmental liabilities, the payment of such liabilities or the costs that the Company may incur to remedy environmental pollution would reduce otherwise available funds and could have a material adverse effect on the Company. If Brazil Potash is unable to fully remedy an environmental problem, it might be required to suspend operations or enter into interim compliance measures pending completion of the required remedy. The potential exposure may be significant and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s mining project. Brazil Potash intends to minimize risks by taking steps to ensure compliance with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations and operating to applicable environmental standards.

Many of the local, state and federal environmental laws and regulations require the Company to obtain licences for its activities. The Company must update and review its licences from time to time and is subject to environmental impact analyses and public review processes prior to approval of new activities. Brazil Potash can make no assurance that it will be able to maintain or obtain all of the required environmental and social licences on a timely basis, if at all.

In addition, it is possible that future changes in applicable laws, regulations and authorizations or changes in enforcement or regulatory interpretation could have a significant impact on the Company’s activities. Those risks include, but are not limited to, the risk that regulatory authorities may increase bonding requirements beyond the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ financial capabilities.

Competitive Industry Environment

The mining industry is highly competitive in all of its phases, both domestically and internationally. Brazil Potash’s ability to acquire properties and develop mineral resources and reserves in the future will depend not only on its ability to develop its present properties, but also on its ability to select and acquire suitable producing properties or prospects for mineral exploration, of which there is a limited supply. The Company may be at a competitive disadvantage in acquiring additional mining properties because it must compete with other individuals and companies, many of which have greater financial resources, operational experience and technical capabilities than Brazil Potash Corp. The Company may also encounter competition from other mining companies in its efforts to hire experienced mining professionals. Competition could adversely affect the Company’s ability to attract necessary
8

funding or acquire suitable producing properties or prospects for mineral exploration in the future. Competition for services and equipment could result in delays if such services or equipment cannot be obtained in a timely manner due to inadequate availability and could also cause scheduling difficulties and cost increases due to the need to coordinate the availability of services or equipment. Any of the foregoing effects of competition could materially increase project development, exploration or construction costs, result in project delays and generally and adversely affect Brazil Potash and its business and prospects.

Acquisitions and Integration

From time to time, it can be expected that Brazil Potash will examine opportunities to acquire additional exploration and/or mining assets and businesses. Any acquisition that Brazil Potash may choose to complete may be of a significant size, will require significant attention by the Company’s management, may change the scale of the Company’s business and operations, and may expose Brazil Potash to new geographic, political, operating, financial and geological risks. The Company’s success in its acquisition activities depends upon its ability to identify suitable acquisition candidates, negotiate acceptable terms for any such acquisition, and integrate the acquired operations successfully with those of Brazil Potash. Any acquisitions would be accompanied by risks. There can be no assurance that Brazil Potash would be successful in overcoming these risks or any other problems encountered in connection with such acquisitions, that Brazil Potash would be able to successfully integrate the acquired business into the Company’s pre-existing business or that any such acquisition would not have a material and adverse effect on Brazil Potash.

Dilution

With the net proceeds from this Offering, Brazil Potash believes that it is adequately financed to carry out its exploration and development plans in the near term and to get to a construction decision. However, financing the development of a mining operation through to production will be expensive and Brazil Potash would require additional capital to fund development and exploration programs and potential acquisitions. The Company cannot predict the size of future issuances of common shares or the issuance of debt instruments or other securities convertible into common shares in connection with any such financing. Likewise, Brazil Potash cannot predict the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of Brazil Potash securities will have on the market price of the common shares. If Brazil Potash raises additional funds by issuing additional equity securities, such financing may substantially dilute the interests of existing shareholders. Sales of substantial numbers of common shares, or the availability of such common shares for sale, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for Brazil Potash securities and a securityholder’s interest in Brazil Potash.

Climate Change and Climate Change Regulations

Climate change could have an adverse impact on the Company’s operations. The potential physical impacts of climate change on the operations of Brazil Potash are highly uncertain, and would be particular to the geographic circumstances in areas in which it operates. These may include changes in rainfall and storm patterns and intensities, water shortages, changing sea levels and changing temperatures. These changes in climate could have an impact on the cost of development or production on the Company’s project and adversely affect the financial performance of its operations.

Regulations and pending legislation governing issues involving climate change could result in increased operating costs, which could have a material adverse effect on the business of Brazil Potash. A number of governments or governmental bodies have introduced or are contemplating regulatory changes in response to climate and its potential impacts. Legislation and increased regulation regarding climate change could impose significant costs on Brazil Potash, its venture partners and its suppliers, including costs related to increased energy requirements, capital equipment, environmental monitoring and reporting and other costs to comply with such regulations. Any adopted climate change regulations could also negatively impact the Company’s ability to compete with companies situated in areas not subject to such regulations. Given the emotion, political significance and uncertainty around the impact of climate change and how it should be dealt with, Brazil Potash cannot predict how legislation and regulation will
9

affect its financial condition, operating performance and ability to compete. Furthermore, even without such regulation, increased awareness and any adverse publicity in the global marketplace about potential impacts on climate change by Brazil Potash or other companies in the natural resources industry could harm the reputation of Brazil Potash.

Risk of Litigation

The Company may become involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation. The results of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty. If Brazil Potash is unable to resolve these disputes favorably, it may have a material adverse impact on the ability of Brazil Potash to carry out its business plan.

Reliance on Key Personnel

The Company’s development will depend on the efforts of key management and other key personnel. Loss of any of these people, particularly to competitors, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. Further, with respect to the future development of the Company’s projects, it may become necessary to attract both international and local personnel for such development. The marketplace for key skilled personnel is becoming more competitive, which means the cost of hiring, training and retaining such personnel may increase. Factors outside the Company’s control, including competition for human capital and the high level of technical expertise and experience required to execute this development, will affect Brazil Potash’s ability to employ the specific personnel required. Due to the relatively small size of Brazil Potash, the failure to retain or attract a sufficient number of key skilled personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of future operations and financial condition. Moreover, Brazil Potash does not intend to take out ‘key person’ insurance in respect of any directors, officers or other employees.

Influence of Third Party Stakeholders

Some of the lands in which Brazil Potash holds an interest, or the exploration equipment and roads or other means of access which the Company intends to utilize in carrying out its work programs or general business mandates, may be subject to interests or claims by third party individuals, groups or companies. In the event that such third parties assert any claims, the Company’s work programs may be delayed even if such claims are not meritorious. Such delays may result in significant financial loss and loss of opportunity for Brazil Potash.

Conflicts of Interest

Certain of the directors and officers of Brazil Potash also serve as directors and/or officers of other companies involved in natural resource exploration and development and consequently there exists the possibility for such directors and officers to be in a position of conflict. Any decision made by any of such directors and officers involving Brazil Potash must be made in accordance with their duties and obligations to deal fairly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of Brazil Potash and its shareholders.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk arises through the excess of financial obligations due over available financial assets at any point in time. The Company’s objective in managing liquidity risk will be to maintain sufficient readily available cash reserves and credit in order to meet its liquidity requirements at any point in time. As Brazil Potash does not currently have revenue and is not expected to have revenue in the foreseeable future, Brazil Potash will be reliant upon debt and equity financing to mitigate liquidity risk. The total cost and planned timing of acquisitions and/or other development or construction projects is not currently determinable and it is not currently known precisely when Brazil Potash will require external financing in future periods. There is no guarantee that external financing will be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, and the Company’s inability to finance future development and acquisitions would have a material and adverse effect on Brazil Potash and its business and prospects.

Risks Related to Our Company
 
We have no operating history on which to judge our business prospects and management.
 
The Company was incorporated on October 10, 2006 and has no history of mining operations. Operating results for future periods are subject to numerous uncertainties and we cannot assure you that the Company will achieve or sustain profitability. The Company’s prospects must be considered in light of the risks encountered by companies in the early stage of project development. Future operating results will depend upon many factors, including our success in attracting and retaining motivated and qualified personnel, our ability to establish short term credit lines or obtain financing from other sources, such as the contemplated Offering, our ability to develop and market new products, control costs, and general economic conditions. We cannot assure you that the Company will successfully address any of these risks.
 
Our financial situation creates substantial doubt whether we will continue as a going concern.
 
Since inception, the Company has not generated revenues, has incurred losses and has an accumulated deficit of $89,245,146 as of December 31, 2020. Further, we expect to incur a net loss in the foreseeable future, primarily as a result of increased operating expenses related to the expected exploration. There can be no assurances that we will be able to achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or obtain funding from this Offering or additional financing through private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support our working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on acceptable terms. These conditions represent material uncertainties that may cast substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If adequate working capital is not available, we may be forced to discontinue operations, which would cause investors to lose their entire investment.
 
We will need but may be unable to obtain additional funding on satisfactory terms, which could dilute our stockholders or impose burdensome financial restrictions on our business.
 
We have relied upon our majority stockholder to finance our operations to date, and in the future, we hope to rely on revenues generated from operations to fund all of the cash requirements of our activities. However, there can be no assurance that our majority stockholder will continue to finance our operations or that we will be able to generate any significant cash from our operating activities in the future. Future financings may not be available on a timely basis, in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any debt financing or other financing of securities senior to the Common Stock will likely include financial and other covenants that will restrict our flexibility. Any failure to comply with these covenants would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations because we could lose our existing sources of funding and impair our ability to secure new sources of funding. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate any investor interest in its securities. If we do not obtain additional financing, our business will never commence, in which case you would likely lose the entirety of your investment in us.
 
Upon qualification of this Form 1-A, we will incur increased costs as a result of our public reporting obligations, and our management team will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives.
 
Upon qualification of this Form 1-A, particularly after we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. Our management and other personnel would need to devote a substantial amount of time to comply with our reporting obligations. Moreover, these reporting obligations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly.
 
Failure to develop our internal controls over financial reporting as we grow could have an adverse impact on us.
 
As our Company matures we will need to continue to develop and improve our current internal control systems and procedures to manage our growth. We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to establish appropriate controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely impact our public disclosures regarding our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, management’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or other matters that may raise
11

concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting, disclosure of management’s assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure of our public accounting firm’s attestation to or report on management’s assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of our Common Stock.

Potential Opposition to the Autazes Potash Project

The Company received its Preliminary Social and Environmental License (LP) for the Autazes potash project in Brazil from the Amazonas Environmental Protection Institute (IPAAM) in July 2015 based on submission of a full Environmental & Social Impact Assessment completed by the Company in January 2015. Prior to receiving the LP, Brazil Potash and its consultant Golder conducted several rounds of consultations The Brazil Federal Public Ministry (MPF) opened a civil investigation on Brazil Potash’s LP based on a motion from a non-governmental organization. The MPF commenced legal proceedings questioning the validity of the Company’s LP. The result of the legal proceedings brought by the MPF is that the Company and MPF agreed to temporarily suspend its LP and to conduct additional indigenous consultations with local communities in accordance with International Labour Organization (ILO 169) given Brazil is a signatory to this international convention.  

Brazil Potash’s Autazes Project is not located on Indigenous land, the closest reserve is 8km away and based on Brazilian law any indigenous people located within 10km from a future mine site have the right to be consulted.  There are two major steps that need to be following in these consultations.  The first is indigenous people need to determine the means and who within their tribes will be involved in consultations.  This first step has been completed.  The second is the actual consultation process which was scheduled to start in March 2020 but is currently on hold due to the outbreak of Covid19.  BPC management understand that it will take approximately six months to complete the first round of indigenous consultations upon which the justice can authorize for the Company’s indigenous impact study to be submitted for review and reinstate the LP.

To date, BPC has filed 76 of the required 78 plans and conditions required to obtain the Installation License for project construction to commence out of which 75 have been approved as of June 2021.  The two outstanding items to complete both relate to the completion of the above outlined indigenous consultations and subsequent impact study approval. In order to obtain the Installation License, BPC is required to demonstrate that the relevant indigenous communities have been consulted.

Opposition by any indigenous, governmental or non-governmental organization to the Company’s operations may, under certain circumstances, require modification of the development or operation of the Autazes potash project or other projects and future mines or may require the Company to spend significant amounts of time and resources in litigation or enter into agreements with such indigenous groups or local governments with respect to our projects and mines and securing necessary licenses and permits, in some cases, causing increased cost and delays to the advancement of our projects.

There are differences in U.S. and Canadian practices for reporting reserves and resources.

Our reserve and resource estimates are not directly comparable to those made in filings subject to SEC reporting and disclosure requirements, as we generally report reserves and resources in accordance with Canadian requirements. These requirements are different from the practices used to report reserve and resource estimates in reports and other materials filed with the SEC. It is Canadian practice to report measured, indicated, and inferred mineral resources, which are generally not permitted in disclosure filed with the SEC by United States issuers. In the United States, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. Further, “inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Readers of this Offering Statement are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated mineral resources will ever be converted into reserves recognized under the SEC’s Industry Guide 7 reporting requirements.
 
Risks Related to Our Financial Position and Need for Capital
 
Even if this Offering is successful, we will need to raise additional funding, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to obtain this necessary capital when needed may force us to delay, limit or terminate our product development efforts or other operations.
 
We estimate that the proceeds from this Offering will be up to $50,000,000, assuming an offering price of $4.00 per share and the maximum sale of 12,500,000 shares of common stock, before deducting offering expenses payable by us. We expect that if the maximum sale of shares is achieved, the net proceeds from this Offering will be sufficient to fund our current operations for at least the next twenty-four months. However, (a) we may not achieve the maximum sale of 12,500,000 shares, and/or (b) our operating plan may change as a result of many factors currently unknown to us, and we may need to seek additional funds sooner than planned, through public or private equity or debt financings, government or other third-party funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements or a combination of these approaches. In any event, we will require additional capital to obtain regulatory approval for, and to commercialize, our product candidates. Raising funds in the current economic environment may present additional challenges. Even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans, we may seek additional capital if market conditions are favorable or if we have specific strategic considerations.
12

 
Any additional fundraising efforts may divert our management from their day-to-day activities, which may adversely affect our ability to develop and commercialize our product candidates. In addition, we cannot guarantee that future financing will be available in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Moreover, the terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of our stockholders and the issuance of additional securities, whether equity or debt, by us, or the possibility of such issuance, may cause the market price of our shares to decline. The sale of additional equity or convertible securities may dilute our existing stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed payment obligations and we may be required to agree to certain restrictive covenants, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt, limitations on our ability to acquire, sell or license intellectual property rights and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business. We could also be required to seek funds through arrangements with collaborative partners or otherwise at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable and we may be required to relinquish rights to some of our technologies or product candidate or otherwise agree to terms unfavorable to us, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and prospects.
 
If we are unable to obtain funding on a timely basis, we may be required to significantly curtail, delay or discontinue one or more of our research or development programs or the commercialization of any product candidate or be unable to expand our operations or otherwise capitalize on our business opportunities, as desired, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Investors in this offering will incur immediate dilution from the offering price.

Because the price per share of the Company being offered is higher than the book value per share of the Company, you will suffer immediate dilution in the net tangible book value of the Company you purchase in this offering. Assuming an offering price of $4.00 per share and all 12,500,000 Shares are sold for gross proceeds of $50,000,000, investors purchasing Common Stock in this Offering will contribute up to 20% of the total amount invested by stockholders since inception but will only own 9% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding. See “Dilution” on page 16 for a more detailed description of the dilution to new investors in the Offering.
 
No minimum capitalization.
 
We do not have a minimum capitalization and we may use the proceeds from this Offering immediately following our acceptance of the corresponding subscription agreements. We do not have any track record for self-underwritten Regulation A+ offerings and there can be no assurance we will sell the Maximum Offering or any other amount. It is possible we may only raise a minimum amount of capital, which could leave us with insufficient capital to implement our business plan, potentially resulting in greater operating losses unless we are able to raise the required capital from alternative sources. There is no assurance that alternative capital, if needed, would be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
 
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
 
Our executive officers, directors, major stockholder and their respective affiliates will continue to exercise significant control over our Company after this Offering, which will limit your ability to influence corporate matters and could delay or prevent a change in corporate control.
 
Immediately following the completion of this Offering, and disregarding any shares of Common Stock that they purchase in this Offering, if any, the existing holdings of our executive officers, directors, major stockholder, will represent beneficial ownership, in the aggregate, of approximately 63% of our outstanding Common Stock, assuming we issue the number of shares of Common Stock as set forth on the cover page of this Offering Circular. Please see “Security Ownership of Management and Certain Security Holders” on page 40 for more information. As a result, these stockholders will be able to influence our management and affairs and control the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors and any sale, merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. These stockholders acquired their shares of Common Stock for substantially less than the price of the shares of Common Stock being acquired in this Offering, and these stockholders may have interests, with respect to their Common Stock, that are different from those of investors in this Offering and the concentration of voting power among one or more of these stockholders may have an adverse effect on the price of our Common Stock. In addition, this concentration of ownership might adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock by:
13

 
 
 delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of the Company;
 
 
 impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving the Company; or
 
 
 discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company.
 
Conflicts of Interest
 
The Company may be subject to various potential conflicts of interest because of the fact that some of its officers and directors may be engaged in a range of business activities. All of the directors of the Company are also directors and/or officers of other companies. In addition, the Company’s executive officers and directors may devote time to their outside business interests, so long as such activities do not materially or adversely interfere with their duties to the Company. In some cases, the Company’s executive officers and directors may have fiduciary obligations associated with these business interests that interfere with their ability to devote time to the Company’s business and affairs and that could adversely affect the Company’s operations. These business interests could require significant time and attention of the Company’s executive officers and directors.
 
We have broad discretion in how we use the proceeds of this Offering and may not use these proceeds effectively, which could affect our results of operations and cause our Common Stock price to decline.
 
We will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds of this Offering. We intend to use the net proceeds from this Offering to fund our business strategy, including without limitation, new and ongoing research and development expenses, offering expenses, working capital and other general corporate purposes, which may include funding for the hiring of additional personnel. As a result, investors will be relying upon management’s judgment with only limited information about our specific intentions for the use of the balance of the net proceeds of this Offering. We may use the net proceeds for purposes that do not yield a significant return or any return at all for our stockholders. In addition, pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this Offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.
 
There is no existing market for our Common Stock, and you cannot be certain that an active trading market or a specific share price will be established.
 
Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for shares of our Common Stock. We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in our Company will lead to the development of a trading market or how liquid that market might become. The Offering price for the shares of our Common Stock has been arbitrarily determined by the Company and may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in any trading market following this Offering, if any. The market price for our Common Stock may decline below the Offering price, and our stock price is likely to be volatile.
 
We will use our best efforts to list our Common Stock for trading on a securities exchange however it is uncertain when our Common Stock will be listed on an exchange for trading, if ever.
 
There is currently no public market for our Common Stock and there can be no assurance that one will ever develop. Our Board of Directors may take actions necessary to list our Common Stock on a national securities exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, the Toronto Stock Exchange, Brazil’s B3 or the London Stock Exchange. As a result, our Common Stock sold in this Offering may not be listed on a securities exchange for an extended period of time, if at all. If our Common Stock is not listed on an exchange it may be difficult to sell or trade in our Common Stock shares.

If our stock price fluctuates after the Offering, you could lose a significant part of your investment.
 
The market price of our Common Stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to, among other things, the risk factors described in this section of this Offering Circular, and other factors beyond our control, such as fluctuations in the valuation of companies perceived by investors to be comparable to us. Furthermore, the stock
14

markets have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political, and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rate changes or international currency fluctuations, may negatively affect the market price of our Common Stock. In the past, many companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm our business.
 
Limitations of director liability and indemnification of directors, officers and employees.
 
Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended and by-laws limits the liability of directors to the maximum extent permitted by Ontario law. Ontario law provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability for any:
 
 breach of their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;
 
 act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
 
 unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided under Ontario Corporation Law; or
 
 transactions for which the directors derived an improper personal benefit.
 
These limitations of liability do not apply to liabilities arising under the federal or state securities laws and do not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. Our corporate bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by law. Our bylaws also provide that we are obligated to advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding. We believe that these bylaw provisions are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. We have entered into, and are authorized to enter into, indemnification agreements with our current and future officers and directors. The limitation of liability in our Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws and the indemnification agreements we have entered into with our officers and directors may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might provide a benefit to us and our stockholders. Our results of operations and financial condition may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
 
After the completion of this Offering, we may be at an increased risk of securities class action litigation.
 
Historically, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following a decline in the market price of its securities. This risk is especially relevant for us because mineral and mining companies have experienced significant stock price volatility in recent years. If we were to be sued, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could harm our business.
 
We do not intend to pay dividends on our Common Stock and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our Common Stock.
 
We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our Common Stock and do not currently intend to do so in the foreseeable future. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, the success of an investment in shares of our Common Stock will depend upon any future appreciation in their value. There is no guarantee that shares of our Common Stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which you purchased them.

We may terminate this Offering at any time during the Offering Period.
 
We reserve the right to terminate this Offering at any time, regardless of the number of Common Stock shares sold. In the event that we terminate this Offering at any time prior to the sale of all of the Common Stock shares offered hereby, whatever amount of capital that we have raised at that time will have already been utilized by the Company and no funds will be returned to subscribers.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION AND SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS
 
The shares are being offered pursuant to Regulation A of Section 3(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for Tier 2 offerings, by the management of the Company on a “best-efforts” basis directly to purchasers who satisfy the requirements set forth in Regulation A. We have the option in our sole discretion to accept less than the minimum investment. There is no aggregate minimum to be raised in order for the Offering to become effective and therefore the Offering will be conducted on a “rolling basis.” This means we are entitled to begin applying “dollar one” of the proceeds from the Offering towards our business strategy, research and development expenses, offering expenses (which include legal, accounting, printing, due diligence, marketing, selling and other costs incurred in the Offering of the Shares), commissions, working capital, reimbursements, and other uses as more specifically set forth in the “Use of Proceeds” starting on page 17. 
 
Our Offering will expire on the first to occur of (a) the sale of all 12,500,000 shares of Common Stock offered hereby, (b) June 25, 2022 or (c) when our Board elects to terminate the Offering.

There is no arrangement to address the possible effect of the offering on the price of our Common Stock.

We reserve the right to offer the shares through broker-dealers who are registered with FINRA.  The Company has engaged Dalmore Group, LLC ("Dalmore"), a New York limited liability company and broker-dealer registered with the SEC and a member of FINRA, to provide broker-dealer services in connection with this Offering.  Dalmore's services include the review of investor information, including Know Your Customer data, Anti-Money Laundering and other compliance checks, and the review of subscription agreements and investor information. The Company has already paid Dalmore a one-time setup fee of $5,000 and a one-time consulting fee of $50,000.  The Company will also pay a 1% commission on the aggregate amount raised by the Company in this Offering, as described in the Amended Broker-Dealer Agreement between the Company and Dalmore.

Generally speaking, Rule 3a4-1 provides an exemption from the broker-dealer registration requirements of the Exchange Act for persons associated with an issuer that participate in an offering of the issuer’s securities. None of our officers or directors are subject to any statutory disqualification, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Exchange Act. None of our officers or directors will be compensated in connection with his participation in the offering by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in our securities. None of our officers or directors are, or have been within the past 12 months, a broker or dealer, and none of them are, or have been within the past 12 months, an associated person of a broker or dealer. At the end of the offering, our officers or directors will continue to primarily perform substantial duties for the Company or on its behalf otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities. Our officers or directors will not participate in selling an offering of securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months other than in reliance on Exchange Act Rule 3a4-1(a)(4)(i) or (iii) except that for securities issued pursuant to rule 415 under the Securities Act, the 12 months shall begin with the last sale of any security included within one rule 415 registration. 

Selling Security Holders
 
No securities are being sold for the account of security holders; all net proceeds of this offering will go to the Company.
 
USE OF PROCEEDS
 
The maximum gross proceeds from the sale of our Common Stock is $50,000,000. The net proceeds from the total maximum offering are expected to be approximately $49,275,000, after the payment of offering costs including legal, accounting, printing, due diligence, marketing, selling and other costs incurred in the Offering of the Shares. Our estimated offering costs of $725,000 include a deduction of 1% of the total gross proceeds for commissions payable to Dalmore on all the Shares being offered. The estimate of the budget for offering costs is an estimate only and the actual offering costs may differ. We expect from time to time to evaluate the acquisition of businesses, for which a portion of the net proceeds may be used, although we currently are not planning or negotiating any such transactions. The following table represents management’s best estimate of the uses of the net proceeds received from the sale of the Shares of Common Stock assuming the sale of, respectively, 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of Shares of the Common Stock offered for sale in this Offering.

The Company intends to use $1,750,538 of the proceeds raised in this Offering, to fund the compensation payable to its executive officers including its Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Corporate Secretary, Managing Director Brazil and Project Director, as described under “Executive Compensation” below. The foregoing compensation is expected to be paid in full if at least 50% of the Offering is sold. If less than 50% of the Offering proceeds are raised, we anticipate that such compensation will be adjusted downward to ensure core work to bring the project to a shovel ready state is completed.  The Company does not currently pay its independent directors cash compensation and does not expect to compensate them with the proceeds of the Offering.
 
This expected use of the net proceeds from this Offering represents our intentions based upon our current financial condition, results of operations, business plans and conditions. As of the date of this Offering Circular, we cannot predict with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the closing of this Offering or the amounts that we will actually spend on the uses set forth above. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures may vary significantly depending on numerous factors. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this Offering.
 
Although our business does not presently generate any cash, we believe that if we raise the Maximum Amount in this Offering, that we will have sufficient capital to finance our operations for at least the next 24 months. However, if we do not sell the Maximum Amount or if our operating and development costs are higher than expected, we will need to obtain additional financing prior to that time. Further, we expect that during or after such 24-month period, we will be required to raise additional funds to finance our operations until such time that we can conduct profitable revenue-generating activities.
 
Pending our use of the net proceeds from this Offering, we intend to invest the net proceeds in a variety of capital preservation investments, including short-term, investment grade, interest bearing instruments and United States government securities. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds for the repayment of debt, litigation expenses, investment in strategic partnerships and possibly the acquisition of complementary businesses, products or technologies, although we have no present commitments or agreements for any specific acquisitions or investments.
 
OUR BUSINESS
 
Business Objectives and Operations

Brazil Potash is a private mineral exploration and development company with its base of technical operations in Belo Horizonte, Brazil and its principal place of business and corporate offices in Toronto, Canada.
18


Brazil Potash is focused on the extraction and processing of potash ore from underground mine and distributing the processed potash in Brazil. Brazil Potash’s land holdings are located in the Amazon Potash Basin within the City of Autazes. Brazil Potash currently owns, through its majority owned local subsidiary Potassio do Brasil (PdB), a 100% interest in properties encompassing approximately 26,277 kmlocated in Autazes, including Autazes Project properties. All mineral rights for the Autazes Project are registered with the Agência Nacional de Mineração (ANM)  in Brazil and are held by PdB.
See “Description of Property” in this Offering Circular for additional information.
Four-Year History

2017 – Brazil Potash raised a total of US$13.25 million from private placement financings and an additional US$540,000 from stock options exercises.   Following the completion of the bankable feasible study report and the company securing its previous license for the Autazes Project, Brazil Potash commenced work on satisfying the necessary conditions to secure its construction license, such as environmental and social studies and conditions.

2018 – Brazil Potash raised a total of US$4.75 million from stock option exercises.  Brazil Potash also commenced indigenous consultations with indigenous communities close to the Autazes Project, and continued environmental and social studies to request the Installation License (LI).  The Company also engaged in discussions with various groups to secure project debt financing for the Autazes Project.

2019 – Brazil Potash raised US$2.25 million from private placement financings and US$1.5 million from option exercises.  Brazil Potash continued work to complete the construction licence conditions for the Autazes Project and began formal negotiations of documentation for debt project financing.  Brazil Potash also completed work on a Chinese feasibility study to help secure debt financing in China and completed the basic engineering for transmission line.

2020 - Brazil Potash filed 76 of the 78 conditions necessary to obtain the Installation License, with an emphasis on the approval of the Economic Use Plan (PAE) issued by the Brazilian Federal Mineral Agency (ANM). The Indigenous consultation process, which was scheduled to start in March 2020, was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Competitive Conditions in the Potash Industry

The potash industry is subject to the following competitive factors. Competition may also arise from, among other things:
 Global macro-economic conditions and shifting dynamics, including trade tariffs and restrictions and increased price competition, or a significant change in agriculture production or consumption trends, could lead to a sustained environment of reduced demand for potash, and/or low commodity prices, favoring competitors;
 Brazil Potash products will be subject to price competition from both domestic and foreign potash producers, including state-owned and government-subsidized entities;
 Potash is a global commodity with little or no product differentiation, and customers make their purchasing decisions principally on the basis of delivered price and, to a lesser extent, on customer service and product quality;
 Competitors and potential new entrants in the markets for potash have in recent years expanded capacity, begun construction of new capacity, or announced plans to expand capacity or build new facilities; and
 Some Potash customers require access to credit to purchase potash and a lack of available credit to customers in one or more countries, due to this deterioration, could adversely affect demand for crop nutrients as there may a reluctance to replenish inventories in such conditions or may push customers to other producers.

Employees

As of the date of this Offering Circular, Brazil Potash has fourteen (14) full-time and eight (8) part-time employees.  Members of the Company’s management team, based in Canada, are consultants to the Company. The Company does not believe the consulting status of our executive officers poses any material tax or significant regulatory risk to the Company.

Litigation

The Company received its Preliminary Social and Environmental License (LP) for the Autazes potash project in Brazil from the Amazonas Environmental Protection Institute (IPAAM) in July 2015 based on submission of a full Environmental & Social Impact Assessment completed by the Company in January 2015. Prior to receiving the LP, Brazil Potash and its consultant Golder conducted several rounds of consultations The Brazil Federal Public Ministry (MPF) opened a civil investigation on Brazil Potash’s LP based on a motion from a non-governmental organization. The MPF commenced legal proceedings questioning the validity of the Company’s LP. The result of the legal proceedings brought by the MPF is that the Company and MPF agreed to temporarily suspend its LP and to conduct additional indigenous consultations with local communities in accordance with International Labour Organization (ILO 169) given Brazil is a signatory to this international convention.  

Brazil Potash’s Autazes Project is not located on Indigenous land, the closest reserve is 8km away and based on Brazilian law any indigenous people located within 10km from a future mine site have the right to be consulted.  There are two major steps that need to be following in these consultations.  The first is indigenous people need to determine the means and who within their tribes will be involved in consultations.  This first step has been completed.  The second is the actual consultation process which was scheduled to start in March 2020 but is currently on hold due to the outbreak of COVID19.  BPC management understand that it will take approximately six months to complete the first round of indigenous consultations upon which the justice can authorize for the Company’s indigenous impact study to be submitted for review and reinstate the LP.

To date, BPC has filed 76 of the required 78 plans and conditions required to obtain the Installation License for project construction to commence out of which 75 have been approved as of June 2021.  The two outstanding items to complete both relate to the completion of the above outlined indigenous consultations and subsequent impact study approval. BPC has considered that the indigenous consultation and COVID 19 impact could delay the construction license comparing with BPC schedule, and/or increase the amount of compensation budget to indigenous mitigation plan.

On June 28, 2018, a Judicial hearing was conducted in the 7th Court of Environmental and Agricultural Affairs of Judiciary Section of the State of Amazon, regarding the Article 55 of Law 9.605/98 environmental offense of PbB, a subsidiary of the Company. During the hearing, PbB accepted the plea bargain penalty consisting of a monetary payment amounting to BRL45,000.00 (approximately $10,000). The penalty has been fully paid.

Competitive Conditions

The mining business is competitive in all phases of exploration, development and production. Brazil Potash competes with a number of other exploration and mining companies in the search for, and acquisition of, mineral properties or the raising of capital, many of whom have greater financial resources. As a result of this competition, Brazil Potash may be unable to acquire attractive mineral properties in the future on terms it considers acceptable or raise additional capital. Brazil Potash also competes for financing with other resource companies, many of whom have greater financial resources and/or more advanced properties. There can be no assurance that additional capital or other types of financing will be available if needed or that, if available, the terms of such financing will be favorable to Brazil Potash.

The ability of Brazil Potash to acquire properties or raising additional capital largely depends on its success in exploring and developing its present properties and on its ability to select, acquire and bring to production suitable properties or prospects for mineral exploration and development. Brazil Potash may compete with other exploration and mining companies for the procurement of equipment and for the availability of skilled labor. Factors beyond the control of Brazil Potash may affect the marketability of minerals mined or discovered by Brazil Potash.

See “Risk Factors” in this Offering Circular.

Industry and economic factors that may affect our business

Brazil Potash anticipates having to rely on financings through the issuances of Common Stock in order to continue to fund activities. There are significant uncertainties in capital markets impacting the availability of equity financing for the purposes of mineral exploration and development. Certain uncertainties relating to the global economy, political uncertainties and increasing geopolitical risk, increased volatility in the prices of potash and other minerals, as well as increasing volatility in the foreign currency exchange markets may also impact the Company’s business and our ability to raise new capital, and accordingly, may impact our ability to remain a going concern.

Brazil Potash’s operations are also exposed to various levels of regulatory, economic, political and other risks and uncertainties which may impact the Company’s business and our ability to raise new capital. There can be no assurance that Brazil Potash will be able to comply with any a changing regulatory, economic or political environment. See “Risk Factors” in this Offering Circular.

Environmental Regulation

Brazil Potash’s exploration and development activities, as well as any current or future operations, are subject to environmental laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which it operates. See “Risk Factors”. Brazil Potash maintains, and anticipates continuing to maintain, a policy of operating its business in compliance with all environmental laws and regulations.

AUTAZES PROPERTY

1. Worley Parsons Report

Location
The Autazes Project property is located in the eastern portion of the state of Amazonas, within the Central Amazon Basin, between the Amazon River and the Madeira River, approximately 120 km southeast of the city of Manaus, northern Brazil.
This shows the location of the Project site:



22

The Project permit area includes the mine (surface area), processing plant, tailings piles and port locations, encompassing an area of approximately 350 ha. The mine, processing plant and tailings piles areas are located approximately 20 km northeast of the Autazes City centre in a rural area, close to the Village of Lago Soares. The port is located 8 km south of the processing plant site, in the Urucurituba Village on the banks of the Madeira River.  The coordinates for each location are as follows:

The mineralized zone in Autazes is a polygonal shape, approximately 13 km long by 10 km wide.

Access
The Project site can be accessed from the city of Manaus (approximately 120 km NW) by crossing the Amazon River by boat or ferry in the stretch between the port of Ceasa in Manaus and the Port of Careiro da Várzea on the right bank of the river and then travelling via highways BR-319 (42 km) and AM-254 (94 km) to the Madeirinha River, which is also crossed by boat or ferry in order to reach the City of Autazes.
There is a paved road providing year-round access from the major city of Manaus to the City of Autazes, which is located approximately 30 km from the mine and processing plant site.
Prior History

Prior to the operations of Brazil Potash, there is no recorded history of mining operations or development of mining infrastructure on the Autazes Project.
Present Condition
This is a new development project to be located on a site that was largely deforested several decades ago by prior owners and is now primarily used for low density cattle farming. No work has been completed on the Autazes Project property other than the exploration drill holes in connection with producing the Worley Parsons report. There are no infrastructure, equipment or facilities located on the property. The primary means of transportation to deliver materials for construction of the Project and delivery of potash to customers is using Brazil’s extensive river system. The mine site is located 8 km from the Urucurituba Village, which is located on the Madeira River and provides year-round access to both the ocean and main farming regions of Brazil. The Amazon River, located approximately 60 km from Urucurituba Village, is deep enough to allow Panamax sized vessels to traverse for a large portion of the year. Brazil Potash’s product will be transported to the market using barge convoys.
Planned Operations

Brazil Potash plans to mine 8.5 million tonnes per year (Mtpy) of ore, once fully ramped up, using conventional underground room and pillar methods.  This ore will be hoisted to surface upon which it will be crushed, ground and then hot leached to produce 2.44 Mtpy of granular Muriate of Potash (MOP) starting in 2025 for 34 years, including the ramp up and ramp-down periods.
23


Brazil Potash has designed a new processing plant, with name plate capacity of 2.44 Mtpy KCl product, based on processing 8.5 Mtpy of ROM ore with a head grade of 30% KCl to achieve a metallurgical recovery of 90.8% and 95% KCl product grade. This processing plant will contain two identical stand-alone trains. Each train will be fed ROM ore at a rate of 558 t/h through one double stage four roll crusher for primary crushing and then through two-cage mill secondary crushers, which crush the ore to less than 4 mm. Crushed ore will be conveyed to the hot leach circuit, which utilizes two stages of hot leach tanks connected in series. Potassium and sodium chloride dissolve from the ROM ore into 90°C leaching brine. Discharge from each leach stage will be classified in a bank of cyclones. Primary cyclone overflow will be clarified and then pumped to the crystallizer circuit. Discharge from the secondary cyclones will be filtered and forwarded to the tailings management area.  A portion of the tailings will be sent underground as backfill with the objective to reduce the tailings stockpile size and as a side benefit, minimize underground subsidence.  The remaining tailings will be deposited in open piles and converted to brine by natural dissolution caused by high precipitation.  The brine will be collected in the storage ponds and later injected into an aquifer using brine injection wells, to depths between 310 m to 400 m to maintain water balance.

The clarified hot brine received from the hot leach circuit will be cooled down in a seven-stage crystallizer circuit to approximately 45°C, causing the KCl to crystallize as a solid salt. The KCl is recovered from the cooled brine using cyclones and centrifuges. The brine (mother liquor) will be heated and then sent back to the hot leach circuit as leaching brine. Centrifuge cake will be fed to a rotary dryer, dried and then conveyed to a compaction circuit consisting of four compactors, flake breakers, primary sizing screens, primary crushers, secondary screens and secondary crushers. Screened product will be annealed or “glazed” in a fluid bed dryer/cooler. Annealed product will be screened and then stored before dispatch to port via transport truck. Pertinent ancillary facilities will be included to provide reagent makeup, plant and instrument air, steam production and cooling water.  The processing plant will be equipped with a central control room containing operator and engineering workstations to optimize operation of the plant.

Site power will be provided by a new 230 kV power line that is approximately 165 km long and connected to the national grid near Manaus. Natural gas is also available in Manaus, but additional supply needs to be brought into production by the state supplier, Petrobras, to bring sufficient gas to the Project site. For electrical power supply, basic engineering has started and negotiations with the Brazilian Government have been initiated to complete the necessary studies required to start construction of the transmission line. A binding agreement for construction of the power line will be signed upon securing the bulk of the projects construction financing.

The estimated capital costs for the project as included in the N1 43-101 compliant Feasibility Study Technical Report (dated April 22, 2016) are broken out in the table below.

2. ERCOSPLAN Report

Description of Economic Resources of the Property
The mining method proposed for the Autazes Potash Project is conventional room and pillar (long pillars 1500 m) mining with two vertical shafts. One shaft is used to hoist ore and for manpower access and the other is primarily for ventilation. Extraction of the potash ore will be done using continuous miners feeding a conveyor system to the skips at the hoist shaft. This is the most common method of potash extraction with an established and well-developed technology for ore extraction, hauling and hoisting to the surface.
The backfill system is planned for implementation, using the tailings material. The backfill plan developed for this study needs to be updated at the EPCM phase to reflect the most recent mine plan.
Mineral Resources and Reserves
The effective date of the resource and reserve estimates is April 22, 2016, and are based on drilling 41 diamond core drill holes totaling 59,000 meters at the Autazes Project. The disclosure in this Offering Circular is derived from the Technical Report that has been prepared with the consent of Worley Parsons, whose representatives are qualified persons within the meaning of NI 43-101 and the consent of ERCOSPLAN, whose representatives are qualified persons within the meaning of NI 43-101 for the section below entitled ERCOSPLAN Report. The resource estimate is authored by ERCOSPLAN and the reserves estimate by Worley Parsons.
For the Mineral Resource estimation, all recent drill holes that occur within, and in the vicinity of the Brazil Potash Property, and that contain complete assaying data from the potash horizon, have been used.

The Technical Report classifies the potash mineralization in terms of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources as defined by CIM (2014).  The reflects the level of confidence in the extent and grade of the identified potash mineralization.

It is the opinion of the ERCOSPLAN that based on the data density and accuracy of the geological model:

Measured Mineral Resources occur within a radius of 750 m around an investigated drill hole;
Indicated Mineral Resources occur within a radius of 1,500 m around an investigated drill hole; and,
Inferred Mineral Resources occur within a radius of 2,000 m around an investigated drill hole in the southern part of the Autazes area and 2,500 m around an investigated drill hole in the northern Autazes area, as the recent drill holes show a more continuous and homogenous distribution of the deposit in the northern part.

The Autazes Potash Project has measured resources of 151 million tonnes at an average grade of 31.2% of KCl, indicated resources of 284 million tonnes at an average grade of 30.9 % of KCl and inferred resource of 196 million tonnes at an average grade of 29.3% of KCl. Total proven economically recoverable reserves are 87.4 million tonnes at an average grade of 28.7% of KCl including dilution. Probable economically recoverable reserves are 160.7 million tonnes at an average grade of 27.9% of KCl. The calculated life of mine for the project is 34 years, which includes the ramp-up period for the processing plant. Approximately 20 of those years achieve a nominal ore feed capacity of 8.5 Mtpy. The cut-off grade (COG) was set at a grade of 10% of KCl. The minimum mining height is 1.5 m for the production panel rooms and 3.5 m for the mains development and panel development. The total run of mine dilution of 14.7% was determined using MineSight 3D Reserves’ engine tools as well as the final mine plan solids.  Based on rock mechanical tests conducted at German’s Geomechanics Leipzig GmbH, who specialize in potash, coupled with the long room and pillar mining method selected, an extraction ratio of 60% (mining loss estimate of 40%) was calculated in determining the reserves along with using a long term potash selling price of US$401.3/t MOP free on board (FOB) Brazil Potash port Autazes.

25

Metallurgical test work was conducted by ERCOSPLAN in June 2015 at their testing facility in Erfurt Germany.  The Company provided four separate drill cores to ERCOSPLAN, who crushed the drill cores to less than 4mm.  Hot leach tests were conducted on the crushed samples, using brine saturated with sodium and potassium chloride that was heated to 90 degrees Celsius for a period of 30 minutes.  The hot solution was then decanted from the leaching residue and clarified by adding flocculent.  The hot solution was allowed to cool and the KCI crystallized out.  After the crystallized potash was removed, the remaining solution (mother liquor) was used for the subsequent hot leach test.  A total of four hot leach and crystallization cycles were conducted.  Samples were taken during the hot leach tests and all relevant process parameters were monitored.  Leach extractions exceeding 95% recovery were obtained to produce a product containing 95% KCI.  Filtration test work on the hot leach residue was conducted by BHS Sonthofen during the fall of 2015 at the Saskatchewan Research Council to verify that the residue is amenable to vacuum filtration.  The residue showed good filtration performance with a recommended filtration rate of 5.2 tonnes/m2/h.
3. Ownership of Title and Mining Rights
The Company holds claims, with a cumulative area of approximately 1,443.10 km2 (144,309.93 ha), in the Amazon Potash Basin within which the City of Autazes is located.
All mineral rights for the Autazes Project registered with the ANM in Brazil are held by Brazil Potash's majority owned local subsidiary Potassio do Brasil Ltda (PdB).
The ANM, which is a specialized agency of the Brazilian Ministry of Mines and Energy, grants the authorization to an interested party to perform exploration activities by means of a specific title named “Alvará de Pesquisa”, the exploration license.  This license allows the performance of exploration work in the mineral rights areas, including drilling, while the exploitation works requires a proper and specific permit.
At the end of the exploration works and before mining authorization is received, the applicant must submit a final exploration report attesting to the existence of the mineral reserve. The final reports for five claims were approved by the ANM and these approvals enable PdB. to request mining authorization.  On December 18, 2019, PdB has submitted the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) to the ANM which has been approved as of December 14, 2020.
The expiration dates of the mining rights are listed in the table below:

Marketing

Brazil is currently the second largest fastest growing global consumer of MOP, at approximately 10.6 M tonnes in 2019 and imports approximately 95% of its MOP needs. The plan is to sell all of the potash domestically using barges on the Maderia River, located only 8 km from the site, as the main means to transport product to customers. from mines located 8,500 to 12,000 miles away primarily in Canada and Russia. Due to the relatively high transportation costs and highly fragmented number of buyers, customers in Brazil typically pay the highest price for MOP in the world. The preferred MOP product in the Brazilian market is granular potash with a target grade of 60.5% K2O (95% KCl) and it typically sells for a premium over standard (fine) MOP. The historic price for granular potash delivered to (CFR) Brazil as compared to the Free On Board (FOB) Vancouver price for standard potash is shown in the graph below.


To maximize profits, Brazil Potash plans to produce 100% granular 60.5% K2O MOP and sell all production domestically.  The Company will have very low transportation costs because the Project is located only 5 miles from the Maderia River where barges currently pass empty on their return to the major farming regions after having delivered soya beans, cotton or corn to ports downstream used to load ocean going vessels for international export. By picking up this back haul on the barges, Brazil Potash’s cost to mine, process and deliver potash is expected to be lower than the transportation cost alone for imported potash providing a substantial and sustainable logistics cost advantage for this essential product with no substitute to grow food.  Further, by substantially reducing the transportation distance for MOP, Brazil Potash estimates ~508,000 tonnes per year of Green House Gas (GHG) emission will be reduced which is equivalent to planting 23 million new trees.

As of February 2020, US$196 million has been invested to bring Brazil Potash’s Autazes project to its near construction ready state.  All of the technical work completed to date including two resource estimates, preliminary economic assessment and feasibility study have been done in full compliance to National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101) standards by highly reputable companies including Worley Parsons, ERCOSPLAN and Golder.  NI 43-101 standards require that Qualified Persons being geologists and engineers with at least five years potash experience that are not employed by Brazil Potash author and sign off on these documents following prescribed securities commission formats.
28

An environmental impact assessment (EIA) was completed by Golder who also assisted Brazil Potash management in the public hearings to obtain the Preliminary (social and environmental) License which is one of the three main licenses to construct and operate a mine in Brazil.
All of the land required to construct the mine shafts, processing plants and port have been purchased by Brazil Potash with only significant land outstanding to be acquired being the location for the dry stacked tailings impoundment.

Substantial work has also been completed to obtain the Installation License (LI) required to start project construction.  There are 78 items that need to be completed to obtain the LI and as of April 2020, 76 of these items have been completed and 75 approved by various agencies of Brazil’s government.  The main outstanding item to complete is additional indigenous consultations which are pending Covid19 restrictions lifting so they can commence.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
To date, we have generated no cash from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities. All costs in connection with our formation, development, legal services and support have been funded by our majority stockholders and lenders.

Our future expenditures and capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including the success of this Offering and the progress of our research and development efforts.

Our business does not presently generate any cash. We believe that if we raise $50,000,000 (the “Maximum Amount”) in this Offering, we will have sufficient capital to finance our operations for at least the next 24 months, however, if we do not sell the Maximum Amount or if our operating and development costs are higher than expected, we may need to obtain additional financing prior to that time. We do not have any track record for self-underwritten Regulation A+ offerings, and there can be no assurance we will raise the Maximum Amount or any other amount. Further, we expect that after such 24-month period, we will be required to raise additional funds to finance our operations until such time that we can conduct profitable revenue-generating activities. However, no assurances can be made that we will be successful in obtaining additional equity or debt financing, or that ultimately, we will achieve profitable operations and positive cash flow.

The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at December 31, 2020, the Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $72,438 to settle current liabilities of $9,854,752. The Company does not have sufficient liquidity to meet current obligations, it will be necessary to secure additional equity or debt funding.

Going Concern

Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon our ability to raise additional capital as required.

The Company incurred a loss of $11,234,783 for the year ended December 31, 2020 and as at December 31, 2020 had an accumulated deficit of $89,245,146 and a working capital deficiency of $9,217,041 as at December 31, 2020 (including cash of $72,438).

The Company also has $1,773,661 in loans payable with third and related parties as of December 31, 2020 which are classified as short-term liabilities, of which $1,202,192 is in default and past due and $648,251 had the maturity date extended.
31


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 currently past due debt obligations. As a result of continuing operating losses, the Company's 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 pay its trade payables and past due obligations, 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 was able to close private placement financings on July 2, 2019 and on November 29, 2019. Further, on October 29, 2019, June 15, 2020, July 2, 2020, October 22, 2020, April 1, 2021 and May 3, 2021, the Company entered into various loan agreements to fund operating expenses.

During the period from September 2016 (inception) through December 31, 2020, we have incurred cumulative net losses of $89,245,146. Currently, we intend to finance our operations through equity and debt financings. 

The Company does not generate any cash on its own. We have funded operations exclusively in the form of expenditures paid for on behalf of the Company by our majority stockholder, in addition to advances received directly from our stockholder.

We continually evaluate our plan of operations to determine the manner in which we can most effectively utilize our limited cash resources. The timing of completion of any aspect of our plan of operations is highly dependent upon the availability of cash to implement that aspect of the plan and other factors beyond our control. However, there is no assurance, that the Company will be successful in closing the offering of shares, be successful in raising sufficient financing, or achieve profitable operations, to fund its working capital deficiency, or the future exploration and development of its properties. These circumstances raise a material uncertainty related to events or conditions that cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and therefore that it may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our 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.

Capital Expenditures

We do not have any contractual obligations for ongoing capital expenditures at this time.

32

Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is party to certain management contracts. These contracts require payments of approximately $7,180,000 to directors, officers and consultants of the Company upon the occurrence of a change in control of the Company; as such term is defined by each respective consulting agreement. The Company is also committed to payments upon termination of approximately $1,226,000 pursuant to the terms of these contracts. As a triggering event has not taken place, these amounts have not been recorded in these consolidated financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Trend Information

Because we are still in the development phase and have yet to commence construction followed by operations, we are unable to identify any recent trends in revenue or expenses. Other than as set forth below regarding the current pandemic crisis, we are unable to identify any known trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events involving our business that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our revenues, income from operations, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause the reported financial information in this Offering Statement to not be indicative of future operating results or financial condition.

NOVEL CORONAVIRUS (“COVID-19”)

The Company’s operations could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of a widespread global outbreak of a contagious disease and other unforeseen events, including the recent outbreak of a respiratory illness caused by COVID-19 and the related economic repercussions. The Company cannot accurately predict the impact COVID-19 will have on its operations and the ability of others to meet their obligations with the Company, including uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries. In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could further affect the Company’s operations and ability to finance its operations.

Brazil has been hit hard with the coronavirus with over 18 million cases and over 500,000 deaths. The northern Amazon city of Manaus, which is the largest city near Brazil Potash’s project, has been particularly hit hard resulting in a temporary lockdown measures to be put in place to contain the surge of coronavirus cases.

Our staff from the Brazil office have been working from home since March 2020 and we have had no reported cases of COVID-19 amongst our staff to date.


33

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

In the ordinary course of our business, we are not exposed to market risk of the sort that may arise from changes in interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates, or that may otherwise arise from transactions in derivatives.

Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company's management, in consultation with its legal counsel as appropriate, assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company, in consultation with legal counsel, evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company's financial statements. If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable, but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. We are not aware of any matters which result in a loss contingency.

Relaxed Ongoing Reporting Requirements

Regulation A+ provides that a filer can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to avail ourselves of this exemption and, therefore, we will not be subject to the same adoption period for new or revised accounting standards as public companies.

Upon the completion of this Offering, we may elect to become a public reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). If we elect to do so, we will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis as an “emerging growth company” (as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, which we refer to as the JOBS Act) under the reporting rules set forth under the Exchange Act. As defined in the JOBS Act, an emerging growth company is defined as a company with less than $1 Billion in revenue during its last fiscal year. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other burdens that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies.

For so long as we remain an “emerging growth company,” we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other Exchange Act reporting companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including but not limited to:

 
 not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
     
 
 taking advantage of extensions of time to comply with certain new or revised financial accounting standards;
     
 
 being permitted to comply with reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and
     
 
 being exempt from the requirement to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

34

If we are required to publicly report under the Exchange Act as an “emerging growth company”, we expect to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, though if the market value of our Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 Million, we would cease to be an “emerging growth company.

If we elect not to become a public reporting company under the Exchange Act, we will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis under the reporting rules set forth in Regulation A+ for Tier 2 issuers. The ongoing reporting requirements under Regulation A+ are more relaxed than for “emerging growth companies” under the Exchange Act. The differences include, but are not limited to, being required to file only annual and semi-annual reports, rather than annual and quarterly reports. Annual reports are due within 120 calendar days after the end of the issuer's fiscal year, and semi-annual reports are due within 90 calendar days after the end of the first six months of the issuer's fiscal year.

Plan of Operations

As noted above, the continuation of our current plan of operations requires us to raise significant additional capital. If we are successful in raising capital through the sale of shares offered for sale in this Offering Circular, we believe that the Company will have sufficient cash resources to fund its plan of operations for the next 12-18 months. If we are unable to do so, we may have to curtail and possibly cease some operations.

We are a pre-revenue development stage mineral mining company and began operations in October 2006. Our plan of operations for the next few years includes securing the construction permit for the Autazes potash project.

We continually evaluate our plan of operations to determine the manner in which we can most effectively utilize our limited cash resources. The timing of completion of any aspect of our plan of operations is highly dependent upon the availability of cash to implement that aspect of the plan and other factors beyond our control. There is no assurance that we will successfully obtain the required capital or revenues, or, if obtained, that the amounts will be sufficient to fund our ongoing operations.

These circumstances represent material uncertainties that may cast substantial doubt on our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

Trend Information

Because we are still in the startup phase and have only recently commenced our mining exploration and development, we are unable to identify any recent trends in revenue or expenses. Thus, we are unable to identify any known trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events involving our business that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our revenues, income from operations, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause the reported financial information in this Offering to not be indicative of future operating results or financial condition.

43

 
Upon completion of this offering, our executive officers and directors will be eligible to receive equity awards under our equity incentive plans at any time at the discretion of our Board of Directors.
 
Equity Incentive Plan
 
We adopted the Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) in 2009. The Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options. Shares issued under the Plan will be shares of our common stock. Incentive stock options may be granted only to our employees, consultants and directors and employees, consultants and directors of any parent or subsidiary corporation.
 
Share Reserve
 
We have reserved 7,945,500 shares of our Common Stock for issuance pursuant to awards under the Plan. In general, shares subject to awards granted under the Plan that are not issued or that are returned to us, for example, because the award is forfeited, the shares are retained by us in satisfaction of amounts owed with respect to an award or the shares are surrendered in payment of an exercise or purchase price or tax withholding, will again become available for awards under the Plan.  

Administration
 
Our Board of Directors or a committee of our Board of Directors administers the Plan. The administrator has the power to determine when awards will be granted, which employees, directors or consultants will receive awards, the terms of the awards, including the number of shares subject to each award and the vesting schedule of the awards, and to interpret the terms of the Plan and the award agreements. The administrator also has the authority to reduce the exercise prices of outstanding stock options if the exercise price or base appreciation amount exceeds the fair market value of the underlying shares, and to cancel such options in exchange for new awards, in each case without stockholder approval.
 
Stock Options
 
The Plan allows for the grant of incentive stock options that qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and non-qualified stock options. The exercise price of all options granted under the Plan must at least be equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The term of an option may not exceed 10 years. Not more than 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock may be issued pursuant to incentive stock options granted under the Plan.
 
After the continuous service of an option recipient terminates, the recipient’s options may be exercised, to the extent vested, for the period of time specified in the option agreement. However, an option may not be exercised later than the expiration of its term.
 
 
 
Deferred Share Unit Awards
 
The Company also has a plan for the grant of DSU. DSU are shares of our common stock that vest in accordance with terms and conditions established by the administrator. The administrator will determine the number of deferred shares granted to any employee, director or consultant. The administrator may impose whatever conditions on vesting that it determines to be appropriate. For example, the administrator may set restrictions based on the achievement of specific performance goals or on the continuation of service or employment. Deferred shares that do not vest are subject to repurchase or forfeiture. The administrator may specify in an award agreement that earned deferred stock units may be settled in shares of our common stock, other securities, cash or a combination thereof.
 
Transferability of Awards
 
The Plan allows for the transfer of awards under the Plan only (i) by will, (ii) by the laws of descent and distribution and (iii) for awards other than incentive stock options, to the extent and in the manner authorized by the administrator. Only the recipient of an incentive stock option may exercise such award during his or her lifetime.
 
44

Certain Adjustments
 
In the event of certain changes in our capitalization, to prevent enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits available under the Plan, the administrator will make adjustments to one or more of the number of shares that are covered by outstanding awards, the exercise or purchase price of outstanding awards, the numerical share limits contained in the Plan and any other terms that the administrator determines require adjustment.
 
Changes in Control
 
The Plan provides that in the event of a corporate transaction, as such term is defined in the Plan, each outstanding award, to the extent not assumed or replaced, will automatically vest and become exercisable or be released from restrictions on transfer or forfeiture rights. To the extent outstanding awards are assumed or replaced in the event of a corporate transaction, each award will automatically vest and become exercisable or be released from restrictions on transfer or forfeiture rights if the holder’s employment is terminated without cause or for good reason (as such terms are defined in the Plan) within 12 months after the corporate transaction. In the event of a change in control, each award will automatically vest and become exercisable or be released from restrictions on transfer or forfeiture rights if the holder’s employment is terminated without cause or for good reason (as such terms are defined in the Plan) within 12 months after the change in control.
 
Plan Amendments and Termination
 
The Plan remains in place following the date it becomes effective, unless we terminate it sooner. In addition, our Board of Directors has the authority to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan, subject to stockholder approval in the event such approval is required by law provided such action does not adversely affect the rights under any outstanding award.
 
Penny Stock Regulation
 
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share. Such securities are subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell them. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser of such securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, among other requirements, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. As our Common Stock immediately following this Offering may be subject to such penny stock rules, purchasers in this Offering will in all likelihood find it more difficult to sell their Common Stock shares in the secondary market.

Independent Auditors’ Report

The Board of Directors Brazil Potash Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Brazil Potash Corporation and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive loss, changes in equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Brazil Potash Corporation and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and their consolidated financial performance and their consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Emphasis of matter

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses, has an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficiency, overdue loans and has stated that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Brazil Potash Corp.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

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 Company’s subsidiary Potassio do Brasil Ltda. (the “Subsidiary”) was incorporated. The principal activity of Brazil Potash Corp. is the exploration and development of potash properties in Brazil. The Company’s head office is located at 65 Queen Street West, 9th floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 2M5, Canada.

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary that is listed in the following table:

   
% Ownership
 
 
Country of incorporation
December 31, 2020
December 31, 2019
       
Potassio do Brasil Ltda.
Brazil
100%
100%
       

The Company received its Preliminary Social and Environmental License (LP) for the Autazes potash project in Brazil from the Amazonas Environmental Protection Institute (IPAAM) in July 2015 based on submission of a full Environmental and Social Impact Assessment completed by the Company in January 2015. Prior to receiving the LP, the Company and its consultant Golder Associates Ltd. (“Golder”) conducted several rounds of indigenous consultations and despite this work, the Brazil Federal Public Ministry (MPF) opened a civil investigation on the Company’s LP based on a motion from a non-governmental organization. The MPF commenced legal proceedings questioning the validity of the Company’s LP. The result of the legal proceedings brought by the MPF is that the Company voluntarily agreed to temporarily suspend its LP and to conduct additional indigenous consultations with local communities in accordance with International Labour Organization (ILO 169) given Brazil is a signatory to this international convention.

There are two major steps that need to be followed in these consultations. The first is indigenous people need to determine the means and who within their tribes will be involved in consultations. This first step has been completed. The second is the actual consultation process which was scheduled to start in March 2020 but is currently on hold due to the outbreak of COVID-19. Following the first round of indigenous consultations a judge may authorize the Company’s indigenous impact study to be submitted for review and reinstate the LP.

The Company’s operations could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of a widespread global outbreak of a contagious disease and other unforeseen events, including the recent outbreak of a respiratory illness caused by COVID-19 and the related economic repercussions. The Company cannot accurately predict the impact COVID-19 will have on its operations and the ability of others to meet their obligations with the Company, including uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries. In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could further affect the Company’s operations and ability to finance its operations.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

1.
Reporting entity and going concern (continued)

Going Concern

The preparation of the 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 Company's projects.

The Company incurred a loss of $11,234,783 for the year ended December 31, 2020 ($12,312,530 for the year ended December 31, 2019) and as at December 31, 2020 had an accumulated deficit of $89,245,146 (December 31, 2019 - $79,511,775) and a working capital deficiency of $9,217,041 as at December 31, 2020 (including cash of $72,438) (December 31, 2019 - $4,592,152 (including cash of $1,360,010)).

The Company also has $1,773,661 in loans payable with third and related parties as of December 31, 2020 which are classified as short-term liabilities, of which $1,202,192 is in default and $648,251 had the maturity date extended.

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 currently past due debt obligations. As a result of continuing operating losses, the Company's 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 pay its trade payables and past due obligations, 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 was able to close private placement financings on July 2, 2019 and on November 29, 2019. Further, on October 29, 2019, June 15, 2020, July 2, 2020 and October 22, 2020, the Company entered into a loan agreements to fund operating expenses (see Note 13).

However, there is no assurance, that the Company will be successful in closing the offering of shares, be successful in raising sufficient financing, or achieve profitable operations, to fund its working capital deficiency, or the future exploration and development of its properties. These circumstances raise a material uncertainty related to events or conditions that cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and therefore that it may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. These 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 will be received when required, the directors are satisfied that it is appropriate to continue to prepare the consolidated financial statements of the Company on the going concern basis.

Brazil Potash Corp.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

2.
Basis of preparation

a)
Statement of compliance:

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on April 30, 2021.

b)
Basis of measurement:

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, unless otherwise disclosed.

c)
Functional and presentation currency:

Based on the economic substance of the underlying business transactions and circumstances relevant to the parent, the functional currency of the Company has been determined to be the U.S. dollar, with each subsidiary determining its own functional currency based on its own circumstances. The functional currency of Potássio do Brasil Ltda. has been determined to be the Brazilian Real. The Company’s presentation currency is the United States Dollar.

3. Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

a)
Basis of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Potássio do Brasil Ltda., in Brazil as at December 31, 2020.

The Company’s subsidiary is fully consolidated from the date of acquisition or incorporation, being the date on which the Company obtained control, and continues to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. These consolidated financial statements comprise results for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

The financial statements of the subsidiary are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.

All intra-company balances, income and expenses and unrealized gains and losses resulting from intra-company transactions are eliminated in full upon consolidation.

b)
Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange at the consolidated statement of financial position date. All differences are taken to profit or loss.
F-10

Brazil Potash Corp.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

For presentation of Company consolidated financial statements, if the functional currency of the Company or its subsidiary is different than U.S. dollars as at the reporting date, the assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate ruling at the statement of financial position date and the income and expenses are translated using the average exchange rate for the period. The foreign exchange differences arising are recorded in the cumulative translation account in other comprehensive income. On disposal of a foreign entity the deferred cumulative amount recognized in equity relating to the particular operation is recognized in the statements of comprehensive loss.

c)
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statement of financial position comprise cash at banks and on hand, and short‑term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are readily convertible into a known amount of cash.

d)
Property and equipment

(i)
Recognition and measurement

Items of equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

(ii)
Depreciation

Depreciation calculated over the depreciable amount, which is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value.

The estimated lives for the current period are as follows:
       
Vehicle  
 
5 years
Office equipment
 
5 years
Furniture and fixtures
 
10 years
Other exploration equipment         
 
5 years
       
e)
Exploration and evaluation assets

Costs incurred prior to obtaining the appropriate license are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Exploration and evaluation expenditures comprise costs of initial search for mineral deposits and performing a detailed assessment of deposits that have been identified as having economic potential. The cost of exploration properties and leases, which include the cost of acquiring prospective properties and exploration rights, including interest, and costs incurred in exploration and evaluation activities, are capitalized as assets as part of exploration and evaluation assets. Exploration and evaluation costs are capitalized as an asset until technical feasibility and commercial viability of extraction of reserves are demonstrable, when the capitalized exploration costs are reclassified to property, plant and equipment. Exploration and evaluation costs include an allocation of administration and salary costs as determined by management.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

e)
Exploration and evaluation assets (continued)

Depreciation on equipment used in exploration and evaluation is charged to exploration and evaluation assets.

Prior to reclassification to property, plant and equipment, exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment and any impairment loss recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets:

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may exceed its recoverable amount. The Company reviews and tests for impairment on an ongoing basis and specifically if the following occurs:

(i)
the period for which the Company has a right to explore in the specific area has expired or is expected to expire;

(ii)
the exploration and evaluation has not led to the discovery of economic reserves;

(iii) 
the development of the reserves is not economically or commercially viable; and

(iv) 
the exploration is located in an area that has become politically unstable.
No amortization is charged during the exploration and evaluation phase.

f)
Financial instruments

The Company recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities on the date the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. A financial asset is derecognized either when the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset or when cash flows expire. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, canceled or expired. The Company’s financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and amounts receivable. The Company’s financial liabilities include trade payables and accrued liabilities and loans payable.

Non-derivative financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value plus attributable transaction costs, where applicable for financial instruments not classified as fair value through profit or loss. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-derivative financial instruments are classified and measured as described below:

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVPL”) – cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and are measured at fair value. Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at banks and on hand with original maturity of three months or less and are readily convertible to specified amounts of cash.

Amortized cost – Amounts receivable are classified as and measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment losses, if any.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) – Financial assets designated as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income on initial recognition are recorded at fair value on the trade date with directly attributable transaction costs included in the recorded amount. Subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income. The Company does not have any financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Non-derivative financial liabilities – Trade payables and accrued liabilities and loans payable are accounted for at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method.

g)
Provisions

Provisions are recognized when: (i) the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, and (ii) it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

h)
Income taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiary and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

i)
Share-based payments

The Company records compensation cost associated with equity-settled share-based awards based on the fair value of the equity instrument at the date of grant. The fair value of stock options and warrants is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of DSUs is measured at the market value of the underlying shares, as estimated by management, on the date of grant. The compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, if any, based on the estimate of equity instruments expected to vest. The estimate of options and DSUs expected to vest is revised at the end of each reporting period. When options or warrants are exercised, the proceeds received, together with any related amount in contributed surplus, is credited to share capital.

4. Use of estimates and judgments:

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on management's experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from those estimates.

In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty considered by management in preparing the consolidated financial statements is described below:


(i)
Impairment of exploration and evaluation expenditures:

The carrying values of capitalized amounts are reviewed when indicators of impairment are present. If it is determined that capitalized exploration and evaluation costs are not recoverable, or the property is abandoned or management has determined an impairment in value, the property is written down to its recoverable amount.

The recoverability of amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability to obtain financing to complete the development of such reserves and meet obligations under various agreements, and the success of future operations or dispositions. If a project does not prove viable, all unrecoverable costs associated with the project net of any related existing impairment provisions are written off.


(ii)
Contingencies:

By their nature, contingencies will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgement and estimates of the outcome of future events.

4. Use of estimates and judgments (continued):


(iii)
Fair value of stock-based compensation and warrants:

In determining the fair value of stock-based compensation and warrants, option pricing models are used that require management to make estimates and assumptions regarding the expected life and market price of its equity instruments, volatility, share price and risk-free interest rates.

5. Income taxes

The provision for income tax differs from the amount that would have resulted by applying the combined Canadian statutory income tax rates of approximately 26.5% (2019 – 26.5%):

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company entered into an installment program with the National Mining Agency (“ANM”) for the payment of its mineral rights and land fees. The installment program allows for the payment of outstanding land fees on a monthly basis over a period of five years. Each installment is charged interest at the rate posted by the Special Settlement and Custody System (“SELIC”) until the month prior to payment plus 1% in the month of payment. Any monthly installments not paid by the due date will incur additional fines of 0.33% per day up to a maximum of 20%. Failure to pay two consecutive monthly installments will result in the cancellation of the instalment plan. As at December 31, 2020, the balance owing on the installment plan was $155,560 (R$808,304), included in current and long-term portion of land fee installments in the table above, which approximates the present value of the expected payments.

Share-based payments (continued)

(a) Option plan:

The Company has an incentive share option plan (“the Plan”) whereby the Company may grant to directors, officers, employees and consultants options to purchase shares of the Company. The Plan provides for the issuance of share options to acquire up to 10% of the Company's issued and outstanding capital at the date of grant. The Plan is a rolling plan, as the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the grant of stock options will increase as the Company's issued and outstanding share capital increases. Options granted under the Plan will be for a term not to exceed five years.

The plan provides that it is solely within the discretion of the Board to determine who would receive share options and in what amounts. In no case (calculated at the time of grant) shall the plan result in:


-
the number of options granted in a twelve-month period to any one consultant exceeding 2% of the issued shares of the Company;

-
the aggregate number of options granted in a twelve-month period to any one optionee exceeding 5% of the outstanding shares of the Company; and

-
the number of options granted in a twelve-month period to employees and management company employees undertaking investor relations activities exceeding in aggregate 2% of the issued shares of the Company.

(a) Option plan:

No options were granted during the year ended December 31, 2020. The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2019 was measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: a market price of common shares of $3.75 expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 43.2% based on the historical volatility of comparable companies, weighted average risk - free interest rate of 1.68% and a weighted average expected life of 0.85 years. The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2019 was $2.64. All options granted by the Company in 2019, vested immediately on the date of grant. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company expensed $5,227,600 related to the vested options included in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

The weighted average incremental fair value of the options of $1.15 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, calculated immediately before and after the extension, with the following weighted average assumptions: a market price of common shares of $3.75, expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility between 51.6% and 147.2% based on the historic volatility of comparable companies, risk-free interest rate of 0.34% and an expected life of five years. The total value of the option extension was $8,409,124 of which $1,565,190 was capitalized to exploration and evaluation assets with the remaining amount of $6,843,934 charged to the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company extended the expiry dates of certain options such that options expiring on November 25, 2019, would expire on November 25, 2021.

The total value of the option extension was $134,500 of which $134,500 was capitalized to exploration and evaluation assets with the remaining amount of $nil charged to the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

On July 22, 2020, 200,000 options with exercise prices of $2.50 expired, unexercised. On September 23, 2020, 475,000 options with exercise prices of $2.50 and 70,000 options with exercise prices of $1.00 expired, unexercised.

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

The Company’s financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, trade payables and accrued liabilities. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance to fund operations.

The Company does not enter into any derivative transactions.

The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at December 31, 2020, the Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $72,438 to settle current liabilities of $9,854,752. The Company does not have sufficient liquidity to meet current obligations, it will be necessary to secure additional equity or debt funding. Further details are shown in Note 1 – Going Concern.

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (continued)

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 Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments.

(a) Interest rate risk

The Company has cash balances as at December 31, 2020. The Company considers interest rate risk to be minimal as cash is held on deposit at major financial institutions. The Company currently has loans outstanding at fixed rates (see Note 13).

(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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 year ended December 31, 2020:

   
Average rate
 
Closing rate
CAD
 
0.7465
 
0.7854
BRL
 
0.1939
 
0.1925
         

A $0.01 strengthening or weakening of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar at December 31, 2020 would result in an increase or decrease in operating loss of $46,107 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 income of approximately $3,154,000.

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (continued)

(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, loans payable, 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.
