Hello, Shares Scramblers. Tomorrow, I will add some more thoughts about the Beaufort Affair and how we can possibly look forward to improvements in what is, for we armchair tycoons, a dire situation. But for now, allow me to suggest that you take a holiday look at Harvest Minerals (HMI).
Step forward Luis Azevedo, an interesting chap who is both a geologist and a lawyer. Sounds a bit like a character from an Arthur Conan Doyle story. He is, in fact, a big cheese in Harvest Minerals, with years of clout in the exotic world of Brazil mines.
This outfit is in the fertiliser business and Brazil is in the game of making more agricultural land. Now I was originally a bit chary of commending, to your further researches, an outfit that�s linked to �more agricultural land�. I suspect, but don�t know, that this might involve depriving the local flora and fauna of somewhere to live.
But then I thought, well, fertiliser will make more productive use of what agricultural land there already is already in South America. And that could even save some land for wild plants and animals to live in.
Harvest Minerals was a star turn at this year�s global Group UK Investor Show. One of its head honchos, Mark Heyoe explained how the company produces a natural fertiliser in Brazil. And it�s a fertiliser which can be scooped off the surface, ground up and applied directly to fruit and vegetables.
The fertiliser is lava, scraped up by a few digger machines, bagged and sold to farmers. It�s organic and rich in minerals that plants like. Brazil, according to Mark, is short of fertiliser while the land can be quite poor quality.
Now, though I heard most of Mark�s presentation, I did not hear him mention any possible effects of his company on Brazil�s delicate ecology. If he reads this perhaps he might enlighten us.
But for now, I must rejoin the Punter�s Return.
