Emmerson PLC provided an update on progress at its world class Khemisset potash project ("the Project") in Morocco. Overview: The Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) submission has progressed towards the final assessment stage and the Company has provided all information that has been requested by the Moroccan authorities subsequent to the last update. Decline alignment drilling underway, to be followed by further deep drilling for detailed mine design. Land acquisition programme advancing with relevant owners and stakeholders identified. The land acquisition process is being finalised with the Moroccan authorities. SOP feasibility study is ongoing, led by Barr Engineering. Continued progress in building the project delivery team ahead of the construction phase - key Project Engineer role expected to be filled shortly. Significant progress made with developing the project execution plan - constructive engagement potential engineering and EPCM partners. Strategic investor and project debt financing process advancing positively. Global potash prices have increased significantly with spot prices above those used in the Project feasibility study, underlining the value of the Khemisset project. Permitting and Licencing: The team has completed various submissions to government agencies including, the water authority, l'Agence du Bassin Hydraulique de Sebou, Regional Department of Environment, Regional Department of Forestry, and Regional Centre of Investment. The water authority discussions necessitated the production of an additional study, adding time to the permitting process that was not envisaged earlier in the year. The company says that all parties are currently satisfied with the thorough supplementary work and the final meeting with the Environmental Evaluation Committee ("EEC") (referred to in Morocco as the "Commission Regionale Unifiée de l'Investissement"), should take place in due course. A total of 17 research permits outside of the mining licence block were due for renewal and renewal decisions have been received for 10 of these research permits, with seven still pending. These permits are not immediately critical for the Project, but the team will seek renewals as a matter of course.
