Highfield Resources Ltd has acknowledge the continued commitment of the Government of Navarra and the Spanish authorities to the Muga Potash Project, including proactive efforts to resolve a procedural matter related to the Goyo Mining Concession.
A recent ruling by the Superior Court of Justice of Navarra (TSJN) identified a procedural issue in the coordination process between the Government of Navarra and the Spanish central government regarding the approval of the Goyo concession (refer ASX 27 October 2024, 'Goyo Mining Concession Update'). Importantly, the ruling does not question the validity of the concession itself.
In a recent note published by the Government of Navarra, it was stated that both President (of Navarra) Ms. Chivite and Vice President (of Spain) Ms. Aagesen have agreed that the central and Navarra governments should continue working together to promote Mina Muga.
Highfield has been informed by Government sources that the procedural matter raised by the TSJN can be resolved within the framework of competencies shared between the central government and Navarra and that authorities have already defined a clear roadmap to rectify the situation in a way that ensures the timely construction of Muga Mine.
The President of Navarra, Ms Maria Chivite was quoted as saying: “that it (Muga) is the largest mining project in Spain, with an investment of €150 million and plans to invest €700 million more to complete its construction. It should be noted that the promotion of this project will mean the creation of 800 jobs, an industrial development that has the participation of important international investors.”
Highfield Resources remains confident in the strong government backing for Muga and the swift resolution of the Goyo permit matter.
