Thermo<strong>Potash</strong> development<br />

Work on using the potassium silicate rock at Cerrado <strong>Verde</strong> to produce TK<br />

began in the early 1980s by Brazilian academics.<br />

<strong>Verde</strong> built on the work from the 1980s with its own research and<br />

development and agronomic field trials that began in 2009 and have<br />

continued through to the present.<br />

Over the past four years the Company and a number of research partners<br />

have conducted 41 lab tests and 15 field tests with 12 different crops on<br />

more than 23 hectares (230,000m 2 ).<br />

Thermo<strong>Potash</strong> was approved for use as a potash fertilizer by the Brazilian<br />

Ministry of Agriculture (“MAPA”) on June 24, 2013 - its registration number<br />

is MG - 90. 773 10000-3. The product is now eligible for sale in Brazil<br />
