Been away so only just watched the interview. More cut and paste amateurism.
A mining study? Really?
Laughable. Baylan is not about to award the concession, so it’s massively premature. Smoke and mirrors.
Good post Rune, a bit of sanity's always good. ;-)
brrmedia website wasn't secure yesterday. I can see they have renewed it so it should be safe now and can likely be reposted without being taken down :)
Watch out Xophe everyone that mentioned the interview yesterday had their posts removed.
Who was the girl in the BRR media interview? my 5 year old could have done a better job.
Pathetic interview, what a waste of time
He's Behind You !
Mine too.
Yes - my post reference the BRR video is missing.
Is anyone else missing post today - it says 16 today and I can only see 9?
Where's Walley?
Where's Edd....
Suzy and where’s llbj, ha ha ha ,
Agree, Wots...this mining study is an investment that takes us forward and it's put me in a good mood.
Where's Eric?
All seemed positive and confident
An overall fossil free supply chain....we're getting there. The Company has to 6 September to comment on the UNESCO report but it wont take that long. Minister Baylan is now in charge of Rural Affairs...it's got to be good for us. Good! Game on.
He always speaks positively as if the decision is a done deal. Maybe this is because he is confident of our legal case. Maybe he has met Bayln personally and understands some things he cannot say. Maybe he is just an optimist :-)
I am a LTH therefore I hope he is right.
wotitsworth Kurt has done a business update make you think ( what business ) ,good luck
Thanks Xeno. Much appreciated
Thank you Xeno…Sounds encouraging. On we go, would be good to know where the finishing line is, as this one hell of a marathon, but as with my running, I’ll take step by step.
Suzy don’t bite, your input is always welcomed by me.
doormat sounds much better:) thank you:)
the point was mostly to illustrate that the green party no longer have a say in important issues. they are under the 4% voteing req in the polls .
Not a lot of political muscles left for em to use.
Thanks Xeno! ;-)
Xeno. I think doormat is a much closer and more relevant translation. Unless you were joking with us of course.
i also dont see how the goverment wins in saying no? it will only turn into a yes in court. Only the green party wants to say no.
The social demokrats want a mine because it would bring jobs and jobs means more union workers and more union workers means more money to IF metall wich is the very heart of the social demokrat party.
With hybrit and h2green steel expecting to be in productions in 2024 they will need all the iron ore they can get their hand on. esp when EU is targeting the emmisons problems by increasing the price of polluting by almost a factor of 4.

A mine in kallak will happen the question is only when:/
i dont know where to begin but what i can say is that the credability for the goverment is in freefall when it comes to how it handles crime, economic issues, eviroment etc for the last few years but there might be some light from all this mess that has happend and the reforment of the goverment.
There was something called the januari agreement between the four parties, social democrats, center , liberals and green party wich is now no longer valid wich means that the social demokrats have more freedom in decionsmakeings when they dont have to apease the green party. Center party are pushing for a lot of forest rights and the social demokrats have promised to give it to them for letting stefan löven rule again and the green protest but the green have no more power now, they are called dörr matta, floor carpet is a good english translation wich means people walk over them.
Now if the social demokrats are smart they should try to do as much as possible to give people jobs esp in jokkmok wich is one of the poorest places in sweden to try to gain votes. they are falling in the voteing department. Schools are being shut down and elderly homes getting dismantled, imagine working for 40-50 years of your life then get treated like **** when you need help the most. they gotta make jokmokk richer with investments and jobs and not by welfare checks.
I think the best weapon beowulf have in their arsenal now is sven otto littonen. He used to be a politican, also worked with baylan but not in the same party. He knows the process of politics and gave a very good intervju a few weeks ago where he summarized the situation like this.
"H2 Green's plant in Norrbotten will be ready in a few years, where will they get their iron from? should they import it from china? or should we take the iron that is under our feet? It is a very simple decision in principle."

No one in their right mind would consider the unesco report as some kind of objektiv report based on scientific and logical reasons , its very obvsion just a smoke screen that was summoned by the friends of the green party that work within unesco most probaply. How did they get the report before the goverment or beowulf? it just reeks of foul play.
And you might be right about baylan trying to be sure that it wont be overturned in court and just like sven said in the report if a company fulfills all the requirerments then they should be approved the koncession. Just recently another mining comapny got its liceence aproved but was taken to court because someone complained. the company won in court and their koncession license is now valid. A lot of people in sweden belive its beowulfs turn now to be processed.
And if kurt is willing to pay for a study in how much beowulf expect to extract from the mine then that too could be an indication that it is going in our favor.
Evening.. KallakRediculous, No, It’s not a distraction! KB, looks very much to be making good preparations for any battle re attachments/other, imo..
Kurt Budge- “We are moving forwards with the Mining Study, the outputs of which will enable us to advance discussions on both logistics for Kallak production, and product volumes, specifications and attributes with potential customers.”
Production? Volumes?
Any recommendations from UNESCO was the concern from the outset following the referral.. We got, some “suggestions” in among, the UNESCO BS! We do not want/need any conditions with any award of concession that could result in the Environmental court permitting only, a much lower production/Tonnage level, that what otherwise could have been permitted in the absence of any such conditions.. This all, to address alleged BS concerns of “indirect” impact.. This would make a huge dent in the value of Kallak.. Not much good to us investors having hundreds of millions of tonnes of the very best ore, if it takes a hundred years say, to extract.. SP? Baylan, did not run off to UNESCO, only for them to say something that he didn’t want to work with…This man has his Kallak goal..
When KB gives BEM’s comprehensive comments on UNESCO’s letter, to the minister, he can include the carci consultants report.. KB, is not interested in any distractions.. Some others are! Imo only.. atb…
