$7.50 opex too.

It’s rolling so once they have produced 50kt they can produce another 50kt so yes they could produce the full

cfro,

It has been repeated multiple times by the company that they can re-apply once they have extracted each 50kt. So from Q2 onwards they may well get c. 6 separate trial license approvals in order to reach the c. 320kt mentioned. Obviously, once they are granted a full mining license they would not be required to keep re-applying.

I am assuming that once they get their certification the full mining license will be granted, but that remains to be seen.

Thanks Parisv,

MH quoted a sales price of US$62/t rather than the US$60/t in the RNS. So that would be another US$72,000 of revenue.

It does sound as though the US$62/t is the agreed price to HMI from the distributor, so looking very good for cash inflows from May onwards.

Also sounds positive for the certification by the end of March.

All in all, very good news at this early stage of growth.

chip -

Just to clarify from your earlier post to me as im still a little baffled: Can or cannot 320kt be produced over a year on the current trial license or will a full license be required to achieve these run rates?

My understanding is that only 50kt can be produced over a year max?

Just listened to the podcast. Significant revenue generation going forward in my view. Not only that but very profitable. Do like the company strategy here. Well worth listening to, thanks.

Podcast:



Mark Heyhoe, Chief Operating Officer of Harvest Minerals #HMI discusses the detail of the major sales order they've signed with Agrocerrado, a key fertiliser distributor in Brazil.

Jaknife,

Wholesale terms would normally require settlement within 30 days, at least that is what my family business used to normally do when I was involved with it, although sometimes better terms could be negotiated.

It is not clear whether the sales price quoted is wholesale or retail. But either way they would appear to be able to operate at a stonking margin over OPEX.

Interim financials will eventually clarify early revenues and net profits.

To eventually reach the 320kt pa rate does imply a pretty intensive hourly rate (c. 37t/hour) if they are sticking to the 1 tonne bagging method shown in their presentations. Perhaps they will shift to a more efficient bulk loading system in order to supply wholesalers. One would think that this would be preferable.

My assumption is that they will eventually operate at more than one site across the license as the proposed 450kt pa capacity looks way too low in the light of their current mineral reserves at Arapua.

IMO of course

With a modest PE of 10 would be a $1.20 share price.

[chipperfrd] 07/3/2018 11:09

So, a rough forward estimate looks like:

[chipperfrd] 07/3/2018 10:58

Yes, the 320kt refers to a 'rate per annum'. It would have been better if they had clarified that.
So it looks like they are expecting to hit c. 26.6kt/month by Q2. So around 2 months between each application for another 50kt license.

Thanks Saucepan, perhaps i had interpreted the RNS wrong.

The grant of the full license now though is the key. Im pretty sure they can then produce 320kt+ pdq once they have it.

[kreature] 07/3/2018 10:03

okay I think I understand; 'Delivery will commence in early May 2018' ...but doesn't say when delivery will finish does it ?

[saucepan] 07/3/2018 09:54

cfro: HMI is saying it will have the capacity by Q2 to produce 320kt. That is very different to what you have interpreted. They are not claiming to output that amount by then. They will gradually (perhaps even quicker!) start ramping up to that amount as orders come in and MAPA and license are granted. They have confirmed the infrastructure capacity to do so will be there.

[kreature] 07/3/2018 09:53

Obviously there's a difference between a distributor, and an actual paying customer, and I don't see a paying customer in that RNS. The only thing I don't understand is why 'Delivery will commence in early May 2018' without a MAPA cert or a customer for the distributor to sell to ? What could possibly go wrong ?

[john henry] 07/3/2018 09:49

The two resident derampers have lost the case, simple, they are now further embarrassing themselves with utter meaningless, stupid comments.

[cfro] 07/3/2018 09:48

Good news today but something that is slightly baffling is that they state they will produce 320kt by Q2.

They only have a trial license for 50kt??? Surely they wont be able to produce 320kt until the full license is granted?

[saucepan] 07/3/2018 09:45

Kreature [To paraphrase you above, and to show you can put any twist you like]:

'Contract is for an initial supply of 36Kt of KPfértil'

Didn't take me 2 seconds to spot 'initial'. Why is 'initial' necessary in the above sentence? Suggests to me further supply to come and just the beginning of a great story :-)

[hungary16] 07/3/2018 09:45

Hard to please some people !

[kreature] 07/3/2018 09:34

'Contract is for an initial supply of 36Kt of KPfértil'

Didn't take me 2 seconds to spot 'supply of'. Why is 'supply of' necessary in the above sentence concerning the 'distributor' ? It may as well be a contract with the local postman in my opinion. When's the next placing guys ?

'The sales price'? Is that 'the sales price' agreed for the 'distributor' to (hopefully one day) charge a future customer of the distributor?

[parisv] 07/3/2018 09:19

Letter of intent lmfao

* Major Sales Contract Signed
* Contract is for an initial supply of 36Kt of KPfértil
