Review of Operations

Sergi Potash Project

In April 2015, the Company acquired 100% of the Sergi Potash Project ('Sergi') which is strategically located next to Brazil's only producing potash mine (refer to Figure 1).

During the half-year, Coffey Consultoria e Serviços Ltda completed an Independent Inferred Mineral Resource estimate  ('the Estimate') for Sergi using all available historical drilling data up to 2014 as well as other available technical information. The Estimate is classified as an Inferred Mineral Resource, in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code 2012). The total Inferred Mineral Resource is estimated at 105.3 Mt grading 21.3% KCl, including all the sylvinite and carnallitite layers and using a cut-off grade of 13% KCl. The cut-off grade was estimated based on similar deposits located within the sedimentary basin (refer to Table 1).

Figure 1: Location of Sergi Potash Project

http://www.rns-pdf.londonstockexchange.com/rns/0065S_-2016-3-14.pdf

The potash mineralization within Harvest's property is represented by two sylvinite and two carnallitite sub-horizontal layers, with apparent thickness ranging from 5.56 to 8.46 metres intercepted on a historical drill hole SED-001-11.

Mineral Resources	Lithology	Mass(Mt)	KCl (%)	Contained K2O (%)
Inferred	Sylvinite	62.0	25.0	15.8
	Carnallitite	43.3	15.9	10.0
Total Inferred		105.3	21.3	13.5

For further details in relation to the Mineral Resources Estimate, including governance arrangements and internal controls, refer to announcement 'Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate - Sergi Potash Project' released on the ASX on 23 July 2015.

Arapua Fertilizer Project

In September 2014, Harvest acquired 100% of the Arapua Fertilizer Project in Brazil ('Arapua') located in the State of Minas Gerias Brazil and is composed of three exploration blocks; Arapua, Pindaiba and Maxixe. The Project is serviced by a number of population centres and is accessible by paved and country roads.

During the half-year, the Company's ongoing auger drilling programme at the Project site identified large areas of highly mineralised potassium  rich rocks (refer to ASX announcement 'New K2O Discovery at Arapua Project' released on 3 September 2015).

Capela Potash Project

In August 2014, Harvest acquired a 51% interest in the Capela Potash Project in the Sergipe Alagoas Basin on the east coast of Brazil, with an option to acquire the remaining 49% within the three years following the purchase agreement. The Capela Potash Project is a potentially world class potash project at very shallow depths. The Project is located in close vicinity and immediately adjoining to the north of Brazil's only producing potash mine.

Mandacaru Phosphate Project

On 21 December 2015, the Company announced that it has been awarded the Mandacaru Phosphate Project located in Ceara State, Brazil (refer to Figure 2). The Project comprises two licenses covering a total area of 3,956.48 hectares. Historical exploration activities conducted over the property include ground radiometric survey, mapping, surface rock sampling, trenching and a 2,141 metre diamond drilling programme from 31 holes of diamond drilling (refer to ASX and AIM announcement 'Acquisition of the Mandacaru Phosphate Project' released on 21 December 2015).

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

for the half-year ended 31 December 2015

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Corporate Information

This general purpose half-year financial report of Harvest Minerals Limited and its subsidiaries (the "Group") for the half-year ended 31 December 2015 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 14 March 2016.

Harvest Minerals Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange and the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange.

The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors' Report.

Basis of Preparation

This financial report for the half-year ended 31 December 2015 has been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001. The Group is a for profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.

These half-year financial statements do not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial statements and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the consolidated entity as the full financial statements.

It is recommended that the half-year financial statements be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2015 and considered together with any public announcements made by Harvest Minerals Limited during the half-year ended 31 December 2015 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations of the ASX listing rules.

For the purpose of preparing the interim report, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period. The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.

New and amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations

In the half-year ended 31 December 2015, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Group's operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2015.

It has been determined by the Directors that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Group's business and, therefore, no change is necessary to the Group accounting policies.

The Directors have also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the half-year ended 31 December 2015. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Group's business and, therefore, no change necessary to the Group's accounting policies.

NOTE 2: SEGMENT REPORTING

For management purposes, the Group is organised into one main operating segment, which involves exploration. All of the Company's activities are interrelated, and discrete financial information is reported to the Board (Chief Operating Decision Maker) as a single segment. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Group as one segment. The financial results from this segment are equivalent to the financial statements of the Group as a whole.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of Harvest Minerals Limited

Report on the Condensed Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Harvest Minerals Limited ("the company") which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2015, the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes and the directors' declaration of the Group comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.

Directors' responsibility for the half-year financial report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable  the preparation of the half year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2015 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of the company, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
