· The Stock has been delivered to Windmill's warehouse in Harare, Zimbabwe

· Under the contract, payment by Windmill will take place by 30 January 2016

The adviser to transaction was Butterfly Corporate Finance.

Commenting on the trade agreement, African Potash Executive Chairman Chris Cleverly said, "African Potash continues to make important strides towards achieving our aim of becoming a significant new vertically integrated fertiliser company, focussed on Africa.

"Building a strong permanent relationship with a company such as Windmill, which has an important position in the rapidly expanding African fertiliser industry, is a vital move for African Potash. This agreement, which is significant not only for the near-term revenue it should generate for the Company, forges an important additional affiliation between us and a major player in our target market, which should prove to be mutually beneficial for both African Potash and Windmill moving forward."

Mr George Rundogo, the Chief Executive Officer of Windmill, said, "We are delighted to be working with African Potash on the basis of this first concluded trade; we wish to establish a long term relationship with them. With climatic changes effecting long term agriculture patterns, fertiliser in Africa is becoming ever more important."
