Highfield Resources persists in believing in the future for Muga

Highfield Resources, an Australian company, has announced negotiations with the authorities of Spain, the province of Navarra and the autonomous community of Aragon regarding the Mining Concession for its Muga Potash Project. The Highfield Resources management is making every effort to finalize the issuance of the Mining Concession as soon as possible.
