('Harvest' or the 'Company')
Approval of Final
Exploration Report of Natural Fertiliser Project
Harvest Minerals Limited, the
AIM listed natural fertiliser producer, is pleased to announce that
the Company's Final Exploration Report ('FER') for its Arapua
Fertiliser Project has been approved by Department of Mines
('DNPM') inspector for Minas Gerais, following assessment and a
site visit. The report, which was submitted in April 2017,
represents a further step in the application for a Full Mining
License ("FML") and will now be sent to the DNPM office in
Brasilia, which will publish the approval in the official
Gazette.
Following the FER approval, the Company intends to submit its
environmental report and then a feasibility study as the final
steps in the application process for the FML.
At present, the Company operates under a four-year Trial Mining
Permit, allowing Harvest to extract 50kt of product on a rolling
basis and deliver product to existing customers.
Harvest's Executive Chairman, Brian McMaster,
said, "The approval of our FER is a great endorsement
of all the work we have undertaken over the past two years. We are
now focused on submitting an environmental report and feasibility
study; work on both reports has already started. In the meantime,
the Company continues to produce and deliver product under its
trial mining permit."

Notes:
Harvest Minerals (HMI.L) is a Brazilian focused fertiliser
producer advancing the 100% owned Arapua Fertiliser Project, which
produces KPfértil, a proven, multi-nutrient, slow release, organic
fertiliser and remineraliser. KPfértil offers many economic and
agronomic benefits and addresses the significant demand for locally
produced fertiliser in Brazil, with its abundant agricultural land;
currently, the country imports 90% of the potash it uses but has a
target to be self-sufficient in fertilisers by 2020. Covering
14,946 hectares and located in the heart of the Brazilian
agriculture belt in Minas Gerais, Arapua is a shallow, low cost
mine with an indicated and inferred resource of 13.07Mt at 3.1% K2O
and 2.49% P2O5. This is based on drilling just 6.7% of the known
mineralisation, leaving significant upside potential. This resource
is equivalent over 29 years' production and the known
mineralisation expected to support 100+ years' production at
450,000 tonnes per annum.
