Toronto-Amazon Mining Holding Plc (AMH) says it has entered into an agreement with Sekita Agronegocios, a leading Brazilian agribusiness company, to fund agronomic tests using Amazon Mining’s proposed ThermoPotash product derived from the Cerrado Verde project. AMH says Cerrado Verde is a source of potash-rich rock, from which it plans to produce a slow-release, non-chloride, multi-nutrient, fertilizer product. Cerrado Verde, which is amenable to open pit mining, is located in central Minas Gerais in the heart of Brazil’s vast Cerrado agricultural area. Sekita plans to test ThermoPotash in real-world conditions for use with garlic, carrots, corn, soybeans, wheat, and grazing grass for dairy cattle. Sekita is a leading Brazilian carrot, garlic, and milk producer. Its farms are located less than 10km from the Cerrado Verde Project.
