pamplona - The Directorate General of Industry, Energy and Innovation of the Department of Economic Development has approved the permit for Geoalcali to initiate investigations to find out the presence of potassium and sodium salts for three years in the municipalities of Ibargoiti, Monreal, Leoz and Unciti , as published yesterday by the Official Gazette of Navarre (BON).
The Palero project is part of an area of 42 mining grids. Geoalcali is a mining company and, as such, its ultimate objective is the opening of one or more mining operations for the use of resources that are located and technically and economically viable during the course of the investigations. - DN

Sounds like exploration permits. Across four municipalities, so may be quite extensive (or at their intersection). This is welcome, but isn't the environmental permits on which mining depends.

Still, progress.
