OK, Wotitsworth...I wont say it. :-)
Apologies Suzy, yes acknowledged.
Same question though. After a further 6 weeks, whats going on.
Please don't say we are waiting for unesco to answer the government.
Kurt didn't write to UNESCO...the Government wrote to UNESCO, Kurt supplied the Government with information that would be useful..an extract from his letter:
"To ensure Unesco has the best possible knowledge of the circumstances in the case for establishing a sustainable mining operation at Kallak, we hereby provide you and Unesco with some further information."
Agreed.
The last time Kurt followed up was his letter to UNESCO 6 weeks ago.
How long do you think it should be before the follow up letter that says "What the **** is going on guys, we are trying to manage a business, just answer the damn question"
Obviously not literally..
We've all got an issue with that..the timeline, because there isn't one.
Kurt knows Unesco is an irrelevance, Baylan knows it is an irrelevance and most shareholders know it is an irrelevance. The question is when this is raised in Parliament and the swedish media and exposed as the stalling tactic it is ? Kurt is playing their game to reinforce BEM image as a responsible,beyond reproach company to justify the license. He is feeding Baylan every reason to justify his forthcoming decision to grant the license to mine because they all know the s***storm that Swedish eco campaigners will release. This has to the final stalling tactic in the game to my mind.
It isn't 'nuts' Wotitsworth...it's politics, it's deliberate and premeditated.
Read it Suzy, and read it again. Not word for word but the general idea.
Perhaps its just the timeline I am having an issue with. Such time to answer such a simple question, which as Kurt has pointed out, was never even applicable.
hahahaha
I absolutely agree Aug59. Kurt has very nicely laid out why this is not an issue for UNESCO, and offered hem support for more information. But it seems that Mr Baylan still awaits a decision from UNESCO, regardless of the fact that it is nothing to do with them.
Yes its Nuts. But waiting on UNESCO still appears to be Baylans excuse.
Afternoon. KB has commutated. There is no ambiguity. We are waiting for the Government to make a decision. It is not a matter for UNESCO (his words). For reasons that are not obvious, Baylan now wants to involve UNESCO, very late in the process. KB’s position re UNESCO has been clearly stated ‘BEFORE’ UNESCO makes any comment to the Government. It’s very reasonable to conclude therefore, should the Government want to use any input from UNESCO to deny the grant of concession, or attach any conditions to any concession, that KB judges to be unreasonable, then a challenge to any looks very likely. I think what he was saying is, you can xxxx right off! Imo only. atb
Wotitsworth...If you already knew the answer then why did you ask the question? Read Kurt's letters it's all in there. I've been civil and helpful..perhaps you could make a bit more personal effort to get yourself informed.
Ok Kurt thanks ........... i mean Suzy ;)
No Suzy that is not correct. If the government is waiting for UNESCO then so are we. So why did Kurt say UNESCO is not an issue when it seems everybody believes they are. They are an issue if only to answer the question which is put to them.
Suzy, dont be an a**e, this is a discussion. If you don't wish to answer, don't, if you wish to discuss, be civil.
Read my lips Wotitsworth...we are waiting for the Government and the Government is waiting for UNESCO and nothing to do with this decision will happen until UNESCO has responded to their question and they have digested that response. What happens then is anybody's guess. Got it?
If Kurt is getting tired of the e mails then perhaps he could just communicate to the shareholders and then they wouldn't have to e mail questions. I know that we have our own opinions, but genuinely, is there anyone here who knows if we are waiting on the government or waiting for UNESCO to reply to the government. Seems like it should be an easy question for Kurt, so to brush it off I don't believe is satisfactory.
TSP... We LTHs took a bit of trouble the other day to explain what 'out of the way' means... Kurt's recent update was clear and detailed and I'd suggest it would pay you to read through it carefully a few more times because you've asked questions on here that have there answers in there. Your impatience will not make this happen any quicker...nothing will happen on the Kallak front until that response is with the Government and that could take a while. We'll know when it arrives I think because such things are public documents in Sweden, at least the fact if not the contents.
One question i asked in a polite civil way was
Could Kurt clarify what he meant by saying Unesco was out the way. He replied in a very Kurt manner that he has made a update to the market and has nothing further to add?
I mean cmon he at the least could have said more since it was public knowledge. At least clarify that statement it was a cop out imo
If I could hazard a guess...it wasn't out of the way was it? I thought we'd done that. Lol.
He must be.
Maybe it's just your emails he's getting tired of TSP.
Someone has made a trade.....Is that allowed !!!!!
hahahaha
As CEO I cant imagine him not being committed but cant help but think there is more to do than just wait. At the end of the day a decision is probably of more benefit to him than us, but we still ask if he is doing what is required..
Yes, disaster seems to be following me with this and BPC........Cineworld looking better but that's the one I don't have much in. Typical.........
Oh well, who knows, tomorrow BPC announce a huge strike and Baylan gives the go ahead.......then the world would be a better place hahaha
Wot just out of interest I have regular discussion with Kurt via email he never gives any info, but recently quite the opposite when I quizzed him on wording it clearly touched a nerve........... Kurt knows much more than he ever would dream of letting on.
He knows the immense political struggle regards Kallak personally feel he is getting tired of it all like the rest of us
Haha yes mate............ turning into the a nightmare BPC I sense feels like a dust coming there but wouldnt dream of mentioning it.
BEM looking like a lame dog with another year delay
