You are right Pocko. We need clarification of whether the UNESCO noise is just somebody's mischief or otherwise. RNS would be apt.
Thanks Sooz. I'm not sure who is talking about this possible referral of our case to UNESCO, it could be hot air, when the KU meeting re our Kallak application is supposedly clandestine, if I'm right. Anyway, if the Government is directed to do that, I'm hoping that because we have followed UNESCO guidelines for the HIA, lodged a concession application where nobody could specifically state where it falls short in any area, and with the Laponia buffer zone (Unesco mentioned), it shouldn't take very long for UNESCO to refer the case back to the Government, pointing to the guidelines we've followed and the fact that there's more than enough information in the concession application itself for a decision to be made. I'm sure UNESCO would also be bloody chuffed to bits that we've completed a non-essential HIA, in terms of it not being a typical requirement for a concession licence. They would hopefully see it as being a most helpful and thoughtful addition, confirming our Company's commitment to this project, by its very inclusion.
If the Government is directed by the KU to send our application to UNESCO though, then obviously it will only extend the already appallingly long time taken for conclusion of our case. The KU is only examining the Government's handling of our case and not focusing on BEM, I know that, but if ineptitudes are found in this process, lol, why then add to the time and woe further for us, when we've already had to endure seven and a half years of random merry-go-round treatment? I'm hoping the KU does see that what it recommends could affect us in terms of more time, further financial strife re sp etc.
We've also had the in-depth legal review undertaken, which basically shows our concession application to be bulletproof, and that it would stand up to any test in court. Maybe Kurt can ensure that both the Government and KU are reminded of that.
Sooz, as we know, any move Kurt makes is totally independent of anything the KU does. If the unfairness continues for us from the Government after the review, then Kurt must act to protect our interests.

Either way, it’s market sensitive and we should have an RNS. It’s that simple...
But there isn't any consensus among the Swedish shareholders that it is true and we know it was raised a few years ago.. ... Mr Damberg said "The law is enough" with respect to the Laponia and that it has it's own buffer zone. And I just can't imagine that there isn't a copy in English, Kurt's English and he must have read it.
Based upon the noise on Avanza they, generally, think it is going to UNESCO. Wow if it is true! It has taken nearly another 2 years to get to this point as dust from an open pit mine may travel 34km and affect Laponia's buffer zone. If my neighbour had an extension I may have to watch out for dust on my washing for a bit, but I wouldn't get on to my friends and relatives to warn them of any impending washing doom in the next street, let alone another town. Farcical if true.
Yes...we don't know the facts yet...we don't know if the referral to UNESCO is past, present or future.
Morning Suzy - we shall see
Morning Prof. Will the Riksdag be as appalled as we are? Will the opposition have I field day...I hope so.
I imagine the Swedish shareholding ratio will drop when they finally realise what a corrupt and incompetent government runs the country
