Upcycle Minerals Inc. Announces Kickoff of its SOP Fertilizer Project

SASKATOON, SK, July 23, 2025 /CNW/ - Upcycle Minerals Inc. ("Upcycle" or the "Company") (Private) announces the official kickoff of its Brine to Potassium Sulfate Fertilizer with Carbon Capture project located in south-central Saskatchewan. Upcycle has retained Stantec Consulting Ltd. ("Stantec") (TSX, NYSE: STN) to carry out preliminary engineering assessments and review activities in a multi-phased approach to project development.

Stantec offers technical expertise in exploration programs across Western Canada, with extensive experience in potash and brine-hosted mineral resource development within the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, including the Prairie Evaporite formations. Their Mining, Minerals and Metals group supports clients throughout the full mining life cycle, from target generation to closure, with a multidisciplinary team of geologists, engineers, and environmental specialists ready to support Upcycle's long-term vision.

The company plans to use its mineral assets, including the Tuxford potash mineral permit and the Whiteshore and Lydden Lake Alkali Leases as feedstock for its patented process. Along with the production of Potassium Sulfate (SOP), two co-products with established markets; Ammonium Sulfate (AMS) fertilizer and Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) are outputs of the process.

Upcycle intends to become an ecologically conscious, low-cost producer of SOP with low net CO₂ emissions. SOP is a premium form of potash fertilizer providing both potassium and sulfur macronutrients.
