Well bugger off and do that then.
then factor in the fact that nothing else of any value is happening with the other assets what is there to add shareholder value zilch hence why the share price has done sweet fa. Might as well have bought a fantasy currency bitcoin
Beowulf mining has literally turned into the joke of the decade or there abouts. Kurt Budge has literally delivered nothing. Its all good and well saying his playing the patient game but really cmon. As an investor Im sat here today with not a single shred of information when where or what is happening, its a joke.
I’m not sure what’s more offensive... Comparing a mining application to the troubles in Northern Ireland or 52-years of FARC in Columbia. NI probably just edges it... Os our new chairman not an Swedish ex-politician?
Not too busy to attend the Canadian Mining Conference and say Sweden is open for business.
I'd agree the process is less than honest. It is serving one side rather than the other. That's the problem with relying on a process. Lovely idea if it worked but human nature interferes. So the key is to work on the human nature part. It happened in Northern Ireland where opposing sides were brought together for the common good, it happened in Colombia where likewise happened, and many other places. The situation BEM are faced with isn't too dissimilar. A conflict of interest that isn't being resolved. The problem is that it's all a bit too much work, and too low a priority for Baylan, so really the BEM board should look elsewhere to find a way to get people on board and present a solution to the government. It's worth considering that other similar differences of interest have been resolved without conflict and without little brown envelopes stuffed with wads of used notes. You just need to 'think outside the box' a little, to coin a phrase. Not sure if the board are considering any strategies beyond sitting back and waiting, but it would help to be a bit more proactive in resolving this. Hats off if they are.
You are right on that all Pocko imo. atb
And yes, the cancellation of the planned exploration is a good example of that. The Swedes were happily pulling pints in downtown Stockholm, merrily rioting and pillaging as is the norm in Malmo, and yet we weren’t able to explore in a wilderness... Utopia? Socialist Dystopia more like...
It is ‘down to others’, but can no longer be left as such. Those ‘others’ as you describe them, whether friend or foe cannot be trusted or relied upon.
Afternoon. Pocko, “should only have a very narrow environmental interest” I’d say so. The whole process has become something less than honest imo. I got the impression a few years back, that someone, for some reason, is not so keen to see Kallaks fully measured yet. What I mean is, should we have a burst water main in centre London, we might then expect a halt to any exploration at Kallak. Anyway, its official, the process has not served BEM well, and it is for others to deal with that. Imo only. atb
Notice I wrote HIV instead of HIA..sosrry. Lol.
Sorry, TSP, yes, I did say that. Three years ago we LTHs had already waited five years and we were in a similar state of expectation to now (or rather last December) less so now...having been promised by the Government that a process was underway. The KU Committee's investigation has revealed that promise to have been an empty promise.. as was 'prioritised' and 'forthcoming'; it wasn't.
I mean, they only have to read it..they don't have to write it. So five 'experts' reading a HIA...how long would it take? And then of course they'll have to discuss it and write a reply to the question, whatever that was.
pants this and market pricing accordingly
Suzy did you just say 3 years??
"there's going to be no hiding it for another three years"
We're left guessing but at least things have moved forward in that the Department of Enterprise and Industry (lol) is under scrutiny from a growing number of MPs who think it's a matter of some importance..there's going to be no hiding it for another three years. Although this wait is a bit stressful, it's hard to imagine it will be an extended process for UNESCO to examine it...the HIV was done in accordance with their own guidelines. Talking of extended processes, Mr Damberg said that more than three years ago, he didn't think it should be an extended process. He didn't know the half did he.
What can the UNESCO ‘experts’ possibly find in our application that our ‘experts’ haven’t included? I appreciate conflict of interest and confirmation bias... but given they (UNESCO) should only have a very narrow environmental interest. How hard can it be?
Outsourced decision-making... What do Swedish politicians do all day?
Just had my first jab. As I left they gave me a certificate of exemption for housework for 48 hours. Did say wasn't necessary but they insisted, at least that's what I told my other half.
Absolutely right, Eric...he's got this weighed up.
sweden ha good luck Aura
The second asset, the Häggån Vanadium & Battery Metal Project, is a world class, strategic European polymetallic deposit located in Sweden with the potential to be a major supplier to northern European critical metals users.
Good post Eric.Be respectful and you will command respect.
Yes Eric...Kurt is playing this well imo
No, what you've said there is just wrong, in my opinion. He hasn't been negligent at all, he's been careful. The Swedish Government has involved UNESCO but without Kurt kicking up any fuss. It may seem bizarre that, but Kurt has let the Government back itself into a corner of its own making, but he has indicated that the UNESCO involvement was not a necessity. He has been clear without the bluster and without losing his rag, which works in our favour, and will do so down the road, if legal action is the only remaining option. What we didn't need was a hotheaded response to this latest delaying tactic. Kurt is being respectful, with a well measured response, at such a crucial stage.
In my opinion.
Actually, it wasn't last night it was one of those recorded programmes.
Anyone watch that Trump programme last night. Jesus wept!
