Potassium Chloride Replacement Potassium chloride is composed of approximately 46% of chloride, which can have biocidal effects when excessively applied to soils.¹ Soil microorganisms play a crucial role in agriculture by capturing and storing carbon in the soil, making a significant contribution to the global fight against climate change. The average farmer applies 200 kg of potassium chloride to the soil per hectare per year, equivalent to the application of 1,600 litres of bleach as far as killing soil biodiversity.² Verde's Product is a salinity and chloride-free replacement for KCl fertilizers. Period In Q1 2023 Since production started Chloride amount that has been prevented from being applied into soils by farmers who used the Product in lieu of KCl fertilizers³ Bleach equivalent amount 136.1 million liters 8,559 tonnes 121,201 tonnes 1.93 billion liters Over the next 26 years, the Company intends, along with its customers, to have prevented approximately 1,503 billion liters of bleach from being applied into soils. 1 According to Heide Hermary (Effects of some synthetic fertilizers on the soil ecosystem, 2007), applying 1 pound of potassium chloride to the soil is equivalent to applying 1 gallon of Clorox bleach, with regard to killing soil microorganisms. /2 - FAOSTAT, Agricultural use of nutrient potash, 2018. http://www.fao.org/faostat/en/#data/RFN 3 - 1 tonne of Product (10% K2O) has 0.1 tonnes of K2O, which is equivalent to 0.17 tonnes of potassium chloride (60% K2O), containing 0.08 tonnes of chloride. 4- Based on the 50Mtpy production scenario of the NI 43-101 Pre-Feasibility Technical Report.
