Highfield Resources Limited announced that the Townhall of Sangüesa has issued the licence for the construction of the process plant. The local townhalls (councils) of Undués de Lerda (Aragón) and Sangüesa (Navarra) are
the responsible approving authorities for the mine gate and the process plant construction licences respectively. Following on from the grant of the mining concession, these two licences were essential for the construction of the Muga project ("Muga" or the "Project"). 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. To expedite the process, the Company requested an amendment to the licence; this amendment was to exclude a small parcel of public land that required a more extended Licensing process. This does not impact the construction of the Muga process plant and only slightly affects the southern ponds. The Company expects that this parcel of land will be included in the licence as construction starts.
