Suzy2 - The reason lots of us don't post here all the time is that we've got other things to do with our lives. Doesn't mean that our views aren't valid or well researched. I'm always up for a interesting exchange of views. If someone can deconstruct what I've said, fair play to them. But name calling I find childish or telling people they can't provide a pov abhorrent. You know what really annoyed me about your post yesterday Suzy2? It was that you let yourself down by jumping on the EricDraven train by parroting him. I had grown to expect only the best from you.
"wish me luck LOL"
Tells me more than just four words
So "JOKE" isn't rude?
JOKE referring to a company!
Telling someone to bugger off, and that they and you know more than others IS
TSP Congratulations then, on AURA..well done. It remains to be seen what happens here and I wish you luck with it. Lol :-)

Morning All
Suzy your arrogance is matching that of Eric!
I have been here much longer than you state and know just as much as the next man or woman!
BTW Check out the fact Baylan deleted the twitter post maybe he didnt like the pressure............... BUT his happy on the 11th FEB to post another concerning battery investment by the government which coincidently caused AURA share to pop up 100% in days!
Seems some here have have very raw nerves............ they should this has turned into a joke
So "JOKE" isn't rude? Topsharepicks is a trader who joined us when this share hit Top of the Risers recently as it does from time to time when a whisper of news hits the air waves...he knows precious little about it and he's moved from ramper to deramper in a manner worse than "rude". Eric on the other hand knows everything that has taken place with this Company for the last ten years, through thick and thin, and we know him and trust him. We don't know you Takayama and we don't trust you; whatever you're trying to say here, you're making a pigs ear of it. This company's CEO has done everything he could do to move this Project forward and we have every confidence in his judgement. Anyone who posts an opinion which is contrary to supporting the Company can expect some opposition from LTHs; we do of course agree to differ with polite 'other' opinions but it seems to me that bugger off is entirely appropriate in some cases.
EricDraven: Please stop with the pomposity. If people are frustrated and are asking for change they have every right to be. You should respect other peoples' points of view rather than simply 'protecting your investment' by trying to silence those who disagree with you.
Thanks Treetop. That's a kind thing to have said. The long-termers on here have certainly helped me through some rough patches and wobbles, and Sooz seems to have tapped into my brain. Lol. In a good way.
Tak, please stop with the preaching. If you wish to stick up for someone who tried to rally people to spam Minister Baylan's Twitter feed and then who has irresponsibly described Kurt as being negligent, then you carry on. I stand by my post. I'm more than happy to defend my investment from the idiot element, and if I happen to be rude then there's a very good reason for it.
People who know me also know that.
Good day to you.
I wonder if kurt speaks swedish and whether or not that would make any difference.
One might argue not necessary as his chairman does and most swedes probably have a good grasp of English but when in Rome and all that
Exactly John. Good points well made.
These boards make me smile at times, since my registration I have become an expert in mining iron ore, gold, biochemistry,epidemiology and financial wizardry from a multitude of anonymous posters,all posting a wealth of knowledge due to the goodness of heart ! Or,not. In addition I have gained insight into duplicity and scepticism from many posters who clearly have higher opinions of themselves with subtle deramping and malice balanced by ulterior motives,fortunately offset by a core of good and decent people. For ten long years I have been patient and will be until a decision is made , however long that takes. Kurt has a package that depends on a positive Kallak decision and has been exemplary in a CEO role that few would envy. People like Eric and Suzy may differ in politics but have helped me endure the boredom and I have often sensed an underhand effort to undermine their resolve in order to discourage LTH investors. If you don't know the score by now cash in and go is pefectly reasonable advice to me.
Forgot to mention it earlier...Takayama's post has reminded me of it.
aug59 - fair point. You're right. I don't know what is going on behind the scenes. Perhaps he is trying alternative strategies. Cheers.
EricDraven - yes I have read his posts. And to cut to the chase, you were rude. Such behaviour is unbecoming. You should respect other posters' views.
johnthegolf - my post isn't about mining. It's about getting the business to succeed. People put up money because they believe in the asset. If I were a conspiracy theorist, I'd say it was almost in Kurt's interest for no decision to be made. It's a tantalizing asset. People are tempted to buy in. If there is a decision against realising the Kallak asset, then he won't have such ready access to cash in the future. No decision locks in the temptation. And, oh, QE helps. (as in Quantitive Easing rather than Her Majesty, to avoid anyone missing the point). And being interested in a company and how it's run is about keeping the board on it's toes. It's an essential part of corporate governance. But you're right, it isn't part of greed and making a quick buck by not rocking the boat.
Morning John. Thanks for your thoughts...we're beginning to see daylight I think. There's at least a bit more transparency and the Minister's most recent statement on where this process is at has a much wider audience. And we've got enough money in the bank to press on with other stuff...we're in a strong position.
Very disappointed to read your post.The last thing this company needs at the moment is a bunch of whingeing shareholders.Just imagine where this company would be now if KB listened to and acted on each shareholders comments.We would have been long gone.I agree every shareholder should have an opinion but if you don't like what KB is doing then sell up and move on - simple! But this is typical of life itself .Shareholders with not a clue about mining but see the potential, telling an experienced miner at the helm what he and his board should be doing.That is the JOKE!
Going to court and then onto another and then eventually to the European Court (if we could afford it) would take a damned sight longer than sitting tight and waiting for a change of government. imho.
Sure, TSP has the right to vent his frustration here but vent it at the right people.Direct it at the Swedish Government and not at the man who is doing his very best in the circumstances .You say yourself that he has managed to raise far more cash from shareholders to build the company, I wonder why that is? I would suggest there are a lot more people out there that have confidence in KB and his approach than TSP.I remember when CSP left BEM only 14% of shareholders were Swedish and now under KB it has risen to 70%.I wonder why that is? Undoubtly he knows much more than the rest of us put together and is playing his cards close to his chest for the sake of the company so we must be patient which personally I am happy to be but if my patience should run out then I too will excercise my right as a shareholder and bugger off too. Enjoy your weekend.
Atb.
Kurt is playing the long term exactly as he should. He has been patient and trying to cooperate with both sami and the swedish government. The government has shown their incompetence so much that even the media and politicians within have started to pick it up. If it ever goes legal we would win :)
Have you read some of his posts? No, it wasn't over the top.
Evening. Takayama, with respect, you are well wrong with some in that post imo. It does seem that you want to portion blame for the delay on KB, without knowing all of the facts…. The KU report is pretty clear on, who in the process, has lacked in imagination, and much more, and yet, you fail to mention this – for balance! Odd that!
Any submitted proposals that receive an official objection, is not then automatically awarded with, or carries any title of, “conflict of interest” – regardless of any claim to such! Any possibility of this, and/or other is for the Government to yet decide on….
You cannot possibly know of, if KB is lacking in any, “imaginative thinking”, that you assert, would be required to help the process, because, we as investors are in possession of the reported facts only, and these reports do not include any details of any negotiation[s] with anyone whatsoever… But of course, your comments may result from you being privy to unreported facts, in which case, you shouldn’t be posting on an investors board… My imagination tells me, that if the Kallak ore was only half as good, we investors may very well have had to wait only half as long!!!......You see, imaginations do run wild! What’s required here only is, a proposal that will stand the test! The CEO has said: we’re good!!!!.... Imo only. atb…
EricDraven - It's a bit of an over the top response from you, don't you think? Top Share Picks has a right to his opinions as an investor and he shouldn't need to simply sell up if he feels disgruntled with the way the BEM board is working. That's what share owning democracies are all about. Shareholders have rights. Tbh, I'd have thought you'd respect TSP's view a lot more. From what I can make out, you've invested a sizeable part of your pension in the company - and you risk losing out a considerable slice of what you have been working for all your life if the company doesn't deliver, losing out a lot more than many other small investors here. BEM has bucked the trend in holding a degree of value in all these years compared to many similar small m&e businesses because of long term holders (such as yourself, myself and others) not selling out, something we are all doing because of our belief in the realisation of Kallak as an asset. Kurt's on a roll with the cut of shareholder he's managed to get, and he's even managed to raise more and more cash out of them to build a company. So he owes us to try everything. And that includes treating this not as needing to wait for a process to complete but as a conflict of interests that requires imaginative thinking, outside the usual scope of a small cap m&e business. Let's face it, Kallak is the glue that is holding the company together and if there is a rejection, well, you can kiss your pension pot goodbye. Regardless of what your personal views are of the other assets, I can guarantee that the majority of shareholders, and the market, are holding for Kallak only. With a rejection, there won't be as easy access to fund raising anymore and the company will be trading at the 0.25p level if that. Frankly anything that can make it work, I would have imagined, would be welcome, not least by you. We're all frustrated by the lack of progress, some choose to simply sit back and wait, whilst others seek a more active posture. TSP is right to be frustrated and you should recognise that.
Pocko - I'm not really comparing a mining application to conflict. I'm comparing the fact that they are all conflicts of interest. They are of different scale, but they are conflicts. And the point is that it is possible to move conflict towards resolution. All conflicts are of a different scale. Not sure why you'd be offended by that point?
Well bugger off and do that then.
