The completion of the environmental baseline study has brought the Khemisset potash project, in Morocco, closer to production, with the study identifying no areas of concern that could impact on the scale, location, cost or profitability of the project. LSE-listed potash development company Emmerson is now planning to start the full environmental- and social-impact assessment (ESIA), which will form a core component of the application for a mining licence at Khemisset.
