Harvest expands mining area

Aim-quoted Brazilian fertiliser producer Harvest Minerals has expanded the current mining area and added additional run of mine (ROM) storage capacity at its Arapua project, where it produces KPFértil, a multi-nutrient direct application natural remineraliser.

The company increased the size of the current openpit by stripping the soil cover from an area of about 6 000 m2 and exposing 70 000 t of weathered kamafugite, which is being mined using the company's own equipment.
