Ministerial Committee Upholds Referral of Environmental Approval

Emmerson, the Moroccan-focused potash development company, is pleased to provide an update on the environmental approval of its 100% owned Khemisset Potash Project (“Khemisset” or the “Project”).

The Company has been notified that the Commission Ministérielle de Pilotage (“Ministerial Committee” or the “Committee”), to whom the Company referred the decision of the Commission Régionale Unifiée d’Investissement (“CRUI”) regarding the Project’s environmental approval in July 2023, has upheld the Company’s referral and has asked that the matter be returned to the CRUI for reconsideration.

The Committee has also invited the Company to update the Project’s Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) and re-submit it to the CRUI, providing an opportunity for the Company to make any changes or enhancements to the submission.

Chief Executive Graham Clarke said:

“We are very pleased that the Committee has upheld our referral in this matter. We now look forward to re-engaging with the CRUI to facilitate the approval of the EIA for the Project. The Company maintains its conviction that the Project is world class and will provide significant value and benefit to the Khemisset region, the Kingdom of Morocco and to the Company itself.

“We will of course provide updates in this matter as soon as we are able.”
