HOUSTON (ICIS)–Spanish fertilizer firm Highfield Resources announced that the remaining licence for the construction of the Muga Potash mine’s process plant has been granted by the local authorities.

The company now has the required permits to begin the full-scale construction of Muga comprising the civil works, the process plant and the ramps.

Highfield said that finalising the works around the mine gate area last year has given them a good head-start on the overall construction plan

To expedite the process, Highfield said it requested an amendment to the licence to exclude a small parcel of public land that required a more extended process but this will not impact construction of the process plant.

The company expects this parcel of land will be included in the licence as construction starts.

Highfield now plans to finalise the financing strategy, the remaining construction contracts and all other preparatory work before starting construction in the second half of 2023.

“I do not think I am exaggerating by saying that we all feel this licence closes a long permitting chapter for Highfield. I would like to thank all our stakeholders, staff and shareholders for their continued support. The company will now focus on building Muga as soon as possible,” said Ignacio Salazar, Highfield Resources CEO.
