Highfield’s Muga receives environmental permit

ASX-listed Highfield has received an environmental permit for its Muga potash project, in Spain, and will now focus on securing the mining concession, as well as construction permits required for its two-phased development that will cost a total of €541-million.

The environmental permit placed some conditions on the Muga project to minimise environmental impacts, but Highfield said on Thursday that none of the requirements appeared to be new ones that had not already been incorporated into the project planning.
