any thoughts o why you are trying to deceive people by telling them you hold shares kreature?

[john henry] 30/10/2017 11:28

after 11:20 the 12.75p are buys, stamped as sells.

Chart looking primed for a breakout. share price has recovered well as buyers came in and bought up the initial selling. Bodes well.
Fantastic growth potential here.

Any thoughts on, "no remineralizers on the market that already obey the new legislation"? Out of the whole of Brazil, how many farmers use 'rock dust' instead of traditional fertiliser and lime ? 'Rock Dust' has apparently been around since 1950s according to the video. ...so why was it abandoned in the 1970s if it's so good ?

March 2017
'Despite the benefits offered, there are still no remineralizers on the market that already obey the new legislation elaborated by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Map). Martins, however, makes a forecast that by the end of the year they are already available to the rural producer.'


Minimum requirements to obey the MAPA legistlation contained here:

Indeed, DrMaccers. It does not do any harm to be reminded of the track record of Brian MacMaster:

[kreature] 29/10/2017 11:55

The thing is, is there really a competitive advantage over traditional fertilizer ? and is it really economically viable to make such small percentages of the dust available to the plant as K2O etc? and how does the cost of the NaturalPlus dust compare?

[whl2] 29/10/2017 10:46

I think we're all aware of that!

[whl2] 29/10/2017 10:11

Thatis a very good video yp - thanks for sharing

[kreature] 29/10/2017 09:48

Thing is, does the rock dust replace limestone for correcting the pH level of the soil. Or do you still need to use lime?

[saucepan] 29/10/2017 09:19

An interesting video. It adds some useful context to the story unfolding - particularly that the key local players are informed and on side.

Somewhat aside, I myself have also only just caught up with the 12 October, Mark Heyhoe, interview on Proactive. It is worth watching, too, if anyone else has not got round to doing so.



I also took the opportunity to revisit a few of the older videos with Brian MacMaster.

I noted how few "views" these videos have got. That suggests to me that HMI is a Company that is still not on the radar of many private investors.

Getting the license is going to be mega for this Company, but that milestone does indeed look very close now: exciting times!

HM should view the rock dust vid, there are some good points that were neglected in the recent ramparoonies. 'Rocking' is now regulated by the government with R$1m fines to enforce those regulations. Seems that rocking began in the 1950s and was abandoned in the 1970s and then the guy in the video sold some NaturalPlus in 2003, and now it has been regulated.....but still very few people seem to be using it ? Dusolo are advertising a bag of dust for around $70 on the internet but not on their website which seems a bit odd. Embrapa is just the research arm of MAPA.
Looks like they are struggling to get farmers interested in rocking

[kreature] 29/10/2017 05:16

Good vid, looks like it was made by the researcher at the UNB. So how much is the 50kg bag of TerraProdutiva 'NaturalPlus®' rock dust in the video(08:14), and how much for a 1 ton bulka-bag? What is the status of Mineradora-Mistel's MAPA registration application. Looks like they applied in 2016....and how much do they charge for a bag of dust?

[kreature] 28/10/2017 23:06

Probably will get certified as it's "Rock Dust" which is beneficial to soils deficient of the minerals in the dust. Still lots of unanswered questions though imv - Seems odd to me that there are not more people selling bags of rock dust online in Brazil

[parisv] 28/10/2017 15:11

“MAPA requested that Harvest provide a covered facility for its run-of-mine pad”

Not something MAPA would do if they were not going to certify imo

[parisv] 28/10/2017 15:07

Squeaky bum time for yp and kreature me thinks....

[whl2] 28/10/2017 12:44

If you have that many doubts yp, why not sell your "105,000 shares" ? Hope the opposition are paying you a decent amount.

[kreature] 28/10/2017 10:40

Seems to me that 'Rock Dust' has genuine value if carefully suited to a particular deficient soil but it also appears to have notable limitations. e.g..:

'As the concentration of potassium in these rocks varies from 2% to 6%, transport between long distances makes their use impossible from an economic point of view.'


It's also imv not the replacement to traditional fertilisers that lse posters seem to think it is. 'The difference for common fertilizers is solubility and concentration, but both have complementary performance.'


On the bright side (IMO); after they get the Organic certification, if they are going to call it 'organic', and after they get MAPA certification, and after they get the proper environmental licence, and after they get the full mining licence, and after they pay the liquidated RV2 company $1m, and after they find a local farmer with a soil that suits the rock dust who wants to change products to kpfertil, then I think there will probably be more sales at a price that the buyer is happy to pay. But will HMI need to raise more money to get to that point?

Kreature logging in at 11.23pm just to talk down his alleged holding..... lol
