(ShareCast News) - Harvest Minerals confirms positive results for the latest agronomic and metallurgical test-work conducted at the Maximus prospect, part of its Arapua Fertiliser Project in Brazil.It said all results were well within the required specifications and that notably no toxic elements were present.Harvest added that the solubility results were excellent, with total solubility for P2O5 ranging from 50.40% to 53.36%. For K2O, they ranged from 90.99% to 95.00% in 2% citric acid.This was "close to the acidity levels of the soils in Cerrado area where the Maximus project is located," the company said in a statement.It noted the pH ranged from 6.54 to 6.74, which was almost neutral, supporting the products' potential as a soil neutralizer as well as remineraliser."Metallurgical test-work supports that the product grades can be increased through a simple wet sieving process," Harvest said.
