Re: Midas Share Tip today Midas is away behind when it comes to this share like a lot of tipsters and chart readers it is common sense when this share fell because it was going to have to have its license /permit granted it would go up again.I admit l was one of the doubters.

Midas Share Tip today Brazil is one of the world’s largest exporters of agricultural products, especially coffee, sugar and soybeans. Over the next five years, almost half of all new agricultural land is expected to be in Brazil, making it one of the fastest-growing farming economies on the planet.Most of Brazil’s crops need extra nourishment to flourish. But today, about two thirds of the country’s fertiliser is imported, which is expensive and, at times, unwieldy. The government is keen to change this, with a stated aim of being self-sufficient in fertilisers by 2020. While this seems unrealistic, the authorities are keen to give it a try, making them highly supportive of locally based producers.Brazil-based Harvest Minerals is ideally placed to benefit from this. The shares are 17p but brokers believe the price should hit 40p in the next few years, as the firm expands and develops.The business was founded three years ago by Brian McMaster and Luis Azevedo. An Australian mining entrepreneur, McMaster has spent nearly 20 years in and around the industry, most recently setting up Highfield Resources, an Australian-listed potash firm, now valued at £150 million. Azevedo, based in Rio de Janeiro, is both a geologist and a lawyer with a 25-year history in the Brazilian mining sector.The duo have worked together in the past and founded Harvest Minerals specifically to satisfy Brazil’s growing need for domestically-produced fertiliser. The firm has four assets, the most advanced of which, Arapua, is already in production and generating sales.Based in the state of Minas Gerais, a known agricultural area, Arapua is surrounded by coffee, sugar and soy producers. The location is important, not least because the Arapua product is very different from traditional fertilisers. These tend to be based on potash or phosphates, and are heavily processed, blended with chemicals and delivered in a concentrated form.The Arapua fertiliser is formed from weathered lava, which is simply crushed, bagged and sold to local farmers. Known as KPfértil, it is completely organic, rich in nutrients and involves no added ingredients. As such, it plays well into the fad for more natural foodstuffs, and farmers say it makes their coffee, sugar and other crops taste better.KPfértil has other benefits. Most fertilisers are washed away yearly, having little permanent impact on areas where they are applied. KPfértil is released slowly into the soil, improving the quality of the earth over time. The weathered lava on which it is based is easily accessible too, rather than being buried deep underground, like most potash. This accessibility and simple preparation make KPfértil cheap to produce, with total costs of about $8 (£6) a ton. But McMaster can sell the fertiliser at $60 a ton, so the profit margin is substantial and the product is cheaper than imported alternatives.Harvest only began to sell its fertiliser recently, but initial demand has been encouraging. In March, McMaster signed a 36,000-ton contract with a major distributor of agricultural products, and local farmers are enthusiastic once they understand KPfértil’s benefits.The group is expected to sell 100,000 tons in the year to July 2019, rising to more than 300,000 tons by 2020. Over time, McMaster is keen to take annual production up to 450,000 tons, confident that local demand will be substantially higher. Nearby coffee producers alone require more than three million tons of fertiliser a year and KPfértil is cheaper and more natural than most alternative products. Importantly for patriotic Brazilians, it is also produced at home.Having been founded only in 2015, Harvest Minerals is at an early stage of development. The company spent most of 2016 exploring and developing its assets, and most of 2017 gaining independent verification of the Arapua product and testing it on the market. At the same time, the group has applied for government certification of KPfértil, in effect a ki

Continued Excellent Agronomic Results from the Arapua Fertiliser Project Harvest Minerals Limited, the AIM listed fertiliser development company, is pleased to announce that it has received further positive results from ongoing agronomic test work conducted on its direct application natural fertiliser and remineraliser product, KPfértil, produced at the Company's 100% owned Arapua Fertiliser Project in Brazil. The tests were conducted by the Federal University of Uberlândia ('UFU'), an institution approved by the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply ('MAPA'), and will form part of the Company's official registration of KPfértil to MAPA in Q4 2017. Highlights· Tests to determine if plants could use the nutrients in KPfértil when applied to the soil and comparing these results with either no fertiliser or conventional fertilisers· Results continue to demonstrate that KPfértil works as a fertiliser and has a positive agronomic efficiency· Rice crops applied with KPfértil demonstrated a substantial increase in dry matter productiono No fertiliser - from 3.98g per planto Conventional source of potassium ('KCI') - from 5.03g per planto KPfértil - up to 59.44g per plant· Compared to conventional sources potassium ('K') and phosphate ('P'), applying the same dose of K and P as KPfértil in clayey soils produced up to 73.09% of the dry matter produced using expensive, conventional fertilisers· Further results are expected in the coming months· Continued focus on sales with product ready for delivery· Brazilian Government has set a target to be fertiliser self sufficient by 2020 Harvest's Executive Chairman, Brian McMaster, said, "The test results continue to exceed our expectations and are proving the potential of KPfértil, which is completely natural, slow release, single product fertiliser. We are working closely with a number of academic and corporate entities in order to begin official registration and certification of KPfértil in the coming months. When achieved, and on the basis farmers recognise the tangible economic benefits in introducing it to their fertiliser rotation, we believe KPfértil has the potential to replace significant amounts of conventional and more expensive fertilisers and become a staple product in the Minas Gerais agriculture belt in Brazil. "With product ready for delivery, an indicated and inferred resource of 13.07Mt at 3.1% K2O and 2.49% P2O5, which translates into a mine life of over 30 years at a rate of 450k tonnes per annum, established infrastructure, a highly experienced and proven sales team and an established local market, the foundations are in place for a robust business and we look forward to the future with excitement." Next StepsAs announced on 3rd July 2017, Harvest intends to lodge an application with MAPA to register Kpfértil as, initially, a remineraliser. Prior to lodging the application, Harvest requires the results of the laboratory analysis of the chemical composition of the dry matter, produced during the rice growth tests and the separate leaching test work. Both tests have been completed and analysis is underway with results expected soon. Once the results have been received, the agronomic data will be compiled and submitted to MAPA as part of the application. Separately, a second cycle of agronomic growth tests on rice and beans have commenced to test KPfértil on winter crops, the results are expected to demonstrate the long-term benefits, of using KPfértil as a slow release fertiliser, to potential customers. The results of these tests are expected in Q4 2017. Veloso test work

Beaufort reiterating buy recommendation Beaufort's View: Harvest appears to be progressing steadily towards operating a long life, profitable, minimal capex, fertiliser business in one of Brazil's largest farming centres. The process of proving its KPfértil product through crop trials and certification (1st as a remineraliser, 2nd as a fertiliser) is a little protracted but doesn't impact the medium term investment case. And if Harvest can deliver first sales in 3Q, this would act as a very significant short term catalyst for the stock. We believe recent share weakness is at odds with the progress being made. Building a market for a non-standard product like KPfértil takes time, and we expect Harvest to succeed. Crop trial results is near term, important news which we anticipate being positive. We maintain a Speculative Buy recommendation.
