Kreature - have you discovered girls yet ?

[hungary16] 27/7/2018 23:24

This is getting ridiculously boring !

50kt should do it, a pefectly flat on-grid open-pit oasis with breathtaking views. Perfect for a Pousada if the futil doesn't catch on. Not sure why they don't just use the dust to fix the road to the road ?

and 15 working days are up on Monday for the defendants. Will be interesting to see if dk get paid

Harvest Minerals (LSE:HMI) saw its shares rise 6.4pc to 18.9p today after revealing that it has secured a deal with one of Brazil’s largest fertiliser companies to sell its flagship product KPfértil across the country. Harvest’s strategic alliance agreement with Geociclo will see its products sold to new agricultural region across Brazil, extending the firm’s existing market penetration.

It will be given access to Geociclo’s Ministry of Agriculture (MAPA) accredited research facility – which is expected to speed up product development- and can store large amounts of fertiliser at Geociclo’s facilities. Geociclo is established in the Brazilian fertiliser sector and has worked with international organisations like the Agricultural Research Company of Minas Gerais and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Its facilities are located in Uberlândia in Minas Gerais, Brazil, the country’s largest agricultural region, approximately 450km from Harvest’s Arapua project. This location is outside of the geographic area targeted initially by Harvest’s sales and marketing functions.

Today’s news continues a strong recent run for Harvest, which announced last week that it has secured the much-anticipated government approval needed to register KPfértil as a remineraliser. Earlier this year, the business also signed a game-changing $2m sales order for KPfértil in a significant move towards profitability. The deal saw substantial Brazilian fertiliser and agriproducts distributor Agrocerrado buy an initial supply of 36Kt of KPfertil at $60/t, with delivery coming in early May this year.

As we wrote at the time of the deal, Harvest has previously reported all-in production costs of $7/t at Arapua, meaning the agreement will provide a profit of $53/t, or an 88pc margin. This equates to a gain before tax of $1.9m, with further orders from Agrocerrado potentially in the pipeline – the company said additional discussions regarding sales are on-going.

Brian McMaster, executive chairman of Harvest, said today: ‘Geociclo is an internationally recognised agricultural company and we believe that this alliance will significantly enhance our sales channels and complement our existing arrangements with other parties. As market leaders in the Minas Gerais region, Brazil’s largest agricultural region, Geociclo have an established sales team that will now work to promote KPFértil. Additionally, the Agreement provides further benefits, namely Geociclo’s extensive research and development facilities which our team will utilise to broaden our range of products. Geociclo’s existing MAPA accredited manufacturing facilities, capable of blending and producing these new products, allows us a fast-track to market.

‘With the recent receipt of MAPA approval for KPfértil, we will continue to focus on sales and our objective of expanding production capacity at Arapua to build revenue and shareholder value.’

Podcast is out. Very positive IMO.

[hungary16] 26/7/2018 13:38

Someone is getting desperate !

[kreature] 26/7/2018 10:32

nice bit of jam tomorrow there, well done all

Doc Holliday is recording a podcast with Brian today so sounds like we’ll get an idea of what’s going on since the fundraise. It’s podcasts like that, that’ll raise the profile of HMI amongst the investor community. I’m expecting it to be pretty bullish and hopefully build some momentum.

[amaretto] 26/7/2018 09:40

Certainly just the start, you don't get deals like that unless you're a player in the market. I expect sales orders from majors to follow swiftly over the coming weeks.As an investor thinking of entry points, some might be thinking, is it going to pull back 0.5p or maybe a whole penny for me to get in or top up versus the very real chance we get a podcast followed by a flurry of news and motor off into the sunset. I know what I think and bought some more this morning.Finally, the bus IS going to leave the station.

[chipperfrd] 26/7/2018 08:49

They are making excellent progress. Well done HMI.

[harvestminerals] 26/7/2018 08:04

Who’d have thought that a company who a year ago according to some on here had just one asset (a portaloo) would be signing a partnership agreement with a global player. Amazing progress and this is just the start...

[saucepan] 26/7/2018 07:47

This has been a frustrating share to own, but ... boy, this is a significant RNS.

Perhaps the market will finally wake up to the potential.

Harvest Minerals Limited, the AIM quoted natural fertiliser producer, is pleased to announce that it has signed a strategic alliance agreement ("the Agreement") with Geociclo Biotecnologia S/A ("Geociclo"), one of the largest developers, producers and distributors of organic fertilisers in Brazil to market and sell Harvest's KPfértil product.

Brian McMaster, Executive Chairman of Harvest, said, "Geociclo is an internationally recognised agricultural company and we believe that this alliance will significantly enhance our sales channels and complement our existing arrangements with other parties. As market leaders in the Minas Gerais region, Brazil's largest agricultural region, Geociclo have an established sales team that will now work to promote KPFértil.

Try putting a negative spin on that.

Time for a podcast Brian.

Hi Amaretto
Thanks for the posts. Not saying the first is not still relevant but it is almost five years old.
