Highfield Resources, Navarre, Spain, said on Feb. 15 that it has signed the two final purchase contracts for the critical process plant equipment for its Muga Mine in Spain.
A €2.9 million contract has been signed with Metso Outotec Finland Oy to provide the thickeners needed to remove impurities from the brine solution within the crystallization process. A €2.6 million contract with TEMA Process BV will provide both the potash and salt dryers, as well as the dedusting systems and the wet scrubber for the crushing area.
“We are delighted to report another important step towards construction at Muga,” said Highfield CEO Ignacio Salazar. “With the signing of these contracts, all key process plant equipment has been procured, reducing future potential inflationary risk and construction risk.”
