It should feel like the finishing tape is in site, yes.
However, equivalent positivity has been the feeling so many times before.
For example, remember ASA, the head of the MI saying a process was being put in place to reach a decision “ within weeks “ The positivity at that point was more real than now.
That was almost 4 years ago.
The swedes are very good at leading you by the hand up the long and winding garden path, only to close the door at the final step. BEWARE.
IMO, this mine is in the bag! Personally I think it can only go one way now. It's not just questions and pressures, it really feels positive. Can anyone deny the positive vibes, we're edging closer to a positive decision.
Thanks Tintin.
question for baylan; - you can watch it on the telly if you want....
Interpellation 2020/21: 216 The permit examination regarding Kallak and Laver
by Lars Hjälmered (M)
to Minister of Trade and Industry Ibrahim Baylan (S)
Recently, the Riksdag's constitutional committee presented its annual review of the government, which is criticized on several points. The government is criticized, among other things, for its belated handling of the permit to establish a mine in Kallak.
In three years, the government has done nothing to bring the process to an end and the mine to get a permit. In addition, when the applicants have on several occasions requested a meeting with the Ministry of Trade and Industry, they have been refused. Another project that has had to wait an unreasonably long time for a decision is the Laver mining area.
According to information, the government has now begun negotiations to speed up the process of obtaining a permit for the mine in Kallak. But the government has not yet given any information on how it intends to proceed with permits for the mines in Kallak and Laver.
The mining and minerals industry accounts for large export revenues and employs many people in Sweden. When the government cannot give any information, investments cannot be completed, jobs are not created and the benefits for the environment are not realized. In addition, long processing times and uncertain processes make Sweden less relevant for foreign investment.
In view of this, I would like to ask Minister of Trade and Industry Ibrahim Baylan:
When does the Minister and the Government intend to make a decision on a possible mining in Kallak and Laver?
How does the Minister view the Constitution Committee's criticism that the government has not taken any measures to enable a decision on a processing concession in Kallak?
How does the Minister assess that delays in permit matters of this type affect Sweden's reputation as a mining nation and companies' willingness to invest in Sweden?
I agree. I've already said it shouldn't have any bearing on when a concession decision comes.
We know the Swedish ministers love their excuses though.
Irrelevant.
The ore would be exported from Sweden, an EU country?
Why is Brexit brought up as the root of all evil? Nonsense.
Still in the transition period though until the end of the year.
That surely shouldn't make any difference, considering we operate via our Swedish subsidiary JIMAB and we are (as far as I know) still majority owned by stakeholders on the Swedish Spotlight (Aktietorget as was) market.
Any excuse I suppose though will do to delay the decision further.
One wonders if Sweden is awaiting the outcome of Brexit before they decide
I wonder what today will bring for us Al. Hopefully an uppy day. I wouldn't be surprised if this rallied a bit, primed for the next fleecing before the new shares hit the market. Lol.
I'll be watching for a couple of days to see how things go. Not pressed the Offer button yet.
Good luck to us all.
Oh dear Suzy that’s a laugh , but there again I was old when I bought them ,I didn’t know then it had a long shelf life ,
Al...We were all thought we were young enough to see it through, once. LOL
Hasty ,it might be your best investment yet and your young enough to see it through to the end , I bought a load of gun, which mines next to GGP ,they are very cheap and they flew on Friday all the way to 1. 65p ,good luck
Don't say that Al I haven't paid my money yet!
Eric it’s lovely to still be laughing as we are robbed blind lol
Lol. I meant rigout. Although I'd love to see a rig out drilling again.
Nighty. x
A sweet rig out that Sooz, you'll have all the old fossils drooling.
:-)
Yes Al, you can be the skeleton with the bobble hat on. Lol.
I imagine Baylan will be there to, hopefully, fall on his sword.
The KU report was delivered on 4th and the debate happens on 7th at 11am (10am UK time)
Suzy I hope your coat is covid resistant mink ;-)
You might be right, there's been so much I can't keep up with it. There are two questions, this is Eric Palmquist's, I've seen somewhere a debate on Monday, looks like it isn't this one:

The KU asked him to respond on or by 4 december.
Think the debate is on Monday.
