Highfield’s Javier, Pintano and Sierra del Perdon potash projects are located in the Ebro potash producing basin in Northern Spain. The Sierra del Perdon project includes two former operating mines.

The Javier and Pintano potash projects are located in two separate sub basins within 60 kilometres of the former operating mine. Highfield owns a 100% interest in the five granted tenements with three applications pending that comprise the three projects and cover over 400 km2.
