Harvest receives MAPA approval of KP Fértil® as a Fertilizer

 

Harvest Minerals Limited, the AIM listed fertilizer producer, is pleased to
announce that Brazil's Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Food Supply
("MAPA") has approved the registration of Harvest's organic, multi-nutrient KP
Fértil® as a simple mineral fertilizer which under MAPA regulations
categorises KP Fértil® as an authorized source of macro- and micro-nutrients
that are essential for maintaining soil health and improving production.

 

The MAPA certification adds to KP Fértil® current MAPA certification in the
category of soil remineralizer and reinforces the quality and credibility of
the product and its ability to be more widely commercialized.

 

Brian McMaster, Chairman of Harvest, said: "Having our KP Fértil® registered
as a fertilizer in Brazil is a major milestone and its importance cannot be
underestimated.  Being recognised as a fertilizer by MAPA is the highest
level of certification that KP Fértil® needs to achieve and is indisputable
recognition of the quality of our product.

 

In commercial terms, the MAPA certification means that the quality of our
product is acknowledged and that is very important recognition for our
customers, particularly new customers and even more so at this time when new
customers may be looking to make swift buying decisions due to external market
factors.  Additionally, the certification means that our product will be
considered by a larger customer audience because for some customers, the MAPA
fertiliser certification is a requirement for purchase.

 

Obtaining this certification is a credit to our technical team and management,
and it is a one of the proudest moments the Board has experienced through
developing Harvest.  We are very excited by this.

 

Further Information:

In order to receive the MAPA certification of KP Fértil®, Harvest was
required to provide scientific and agronomic evidence to the MAPA authorities
that demonstrated that our KP Fértil® product carries soil nutrients and is
suitable for use in agriculture i.e. that it is non-toxic and contains no
contaminants.  The evidence reviewed by MAPA, included several audits of
Harvest's production process at the Arapuá project installations, details of
the mineral composition of raw materials and long-term agronomical studies and
evidence of the agronomic efficiency and effects over crops where the product
is applied.  Following a detailed review of the is material, MAPA awarded
Harvest the much-coveted certification.

 

KP Fértil® certification registered under the following number: MG
000710-2.000002.
