Yes Sooz. We must hope that.
Swedish winklers, lol, I ain't come across one of those yet, but they would be most welcome.
:-)
One of the Swedish shareholders will manage to winkle it out.
I just hope that UNESCO will be regarding Truth as an Outstanding Universal Value. ;-)
He could do that 3card, just so we don't rely on the Government to tell us, because it may not occur d'reckly. Lol. We are usually the last to find anything out.
Hi Treetop. Everyone in Sweden by now surely knows the situation with Kallak and the Government's total display of inertia over it, but a very good point you make about the dirty mining from elsewhere. We now have Linda M on the case and the KU painting a bad picture for the Government though, so that may well be enough to bring about change. What we surely don't want, is to bludgeon the Government, via the courts, into giving us a concession licence, because I believe it would then be untenable for us to work in Sweden.
Only my thoughts, but Kurt can continue to apply the squeeze for a decision calmly and cleverly. By allowing the UNESCO referral, without doing his nut, he has let the Government back itself into a corner. The case for the Government's lack of giving a decision now further diminishes once UNESCO has contributed. Nobody left to hide behind. Or is there? Lol.
Surely the simplest way to move this forward would be for kurt to either phone or email someone in the know at UNESCO to see if they have responded to Baylan's request. Obviously they won't reveal any info regarding the details but at least a confirmation of a response would enable us and local politicians to put more pressure on the government.
I understand your hesitation about legal action Eric but that should still allow a more aggressive media campaign to highlight the hypocrisy of letting dirty mining elsewhere account for their new-age needs. This has to be channeled through MPs who have a voice in Parliament lobbying anyone that can threaten to dislodge this current administration.
Hmm. That's the thing. If we know the referral to UNESCO was unnecessary, then Baylan and co will know it to be unnecessary. Yes, it seems the Greens have the sway and this latest manoeuvre was perhaps done just to accommodate them, obviously delaying the decision further. Of course, if UNESCO says our little mine will not affect Lap or its status, then the Government has this info to share with the Green Party. Ooh, what would it do then, to delay a decision? The problem is, in spite of Baylan knowing a good while back that Kurt met with our legal team and talked of legal action being a consideration, our application still has not then been dealt with and moved along at all, until the KU findings prompted the passing of it to UNESCO. We have been told on a number of occasions that a decision for us was being prepared, when in actual fact, the KU finding this not to be the case, insofar as there has not been any administrative process in place for at least three years, to deal with our application.
We've been fobbed off with what has been fudge, the lack of any checks by Baylan to see if a decision was actually being prepared, our case moved along. That's perhaps being rather kind to him as well.
A leopard cannot change its spots it seems, Baylo is a poor performer but a pretty good politician, lol, so I suggest Kurt must keep on top of this latest deviation from the process. I feel he needs to find out from UNESCO when it will be giving comments back to the Government, so that we know then just when the Government will begin its next phase of sitting on our application. We should be in a position even now, considering the KU findings, to demand an outcome within a timescale from the Government, because we are heading towards eight years without a decision. So Kurt surely can't and won't let matters lie once UNESCO has passed it back to the duff brigade, in spite of any potential starry-eyed Kosovo distraction. Distract me not!
Whether to take legal action is still very much a tricky issue. Taking action is one which I don't support at present, because with the implementation of that, the applecart then becomes completely overturned, and it could mean us never seeing Kallak mined, which would be a terrible pity. A travesty. More so for the locals who need the jobs. While there is still the chance of a mine, the nuclear option must be shelved. In my opinion.
So it's all a bit balancy balancy on a wobbly high wire. Lol. Luckily we still have the steadying pole. No legal action today then thank you, we will stick with the pole and trust that we can get across to the other side as we are. Then look back fondly at our journey when we are safe.
In my humble.
Then we can raise the wire.
Howl.
To have patience with this share...we must all be saints! If/when the positive decision comes around I feel I will be holding for years before I sell. The SP can only go up from here
They're ham-strung by the Green Party. When the response comes from UNESCO there'll be no place for them to hide, it will be crunch time...just have to wait it out.
They're ham-strung by the Green Party. Ostensibly they're waiting for a reply from UNESCO which everybody knows is totally unnecessary but eventually, there'll be no place for them to hide....just got to wait it out.
good find so why aren't sweden doing anything?
Lol. Last one from me this week!
Read an article last week claiming eco campaigners are deluded. Obviously a bit anti but one sentence noted we are sending 4 billion emails a day that require the equivalent power generation of 15 nuclear plants output. I couldnt confirm its veracity but it did say campaigning is fine as long as the dirty work such as washing rare earth metals with sulphuric acid,etc is done out of sight in China and Africa. Made me think about saintly Sweden !
Over the water. If I may copy and paste:
"New mines are needed to save the climate
CHRONICLE We are already many who are convinced that new mines are needed to produce raw materials for electrification to replace dependence on fossil energy sources. Now we get support from unexpected sources, writes Lennart HÃ¥kansson in today's column . "

Exactly Suzy, can't forget that the company is progressing on all fronts...Kallak is not the be all! A truly informed and interested investor will appreciate the companies other ventures.
But it isn't going to be a quiet year is it...drilling on all fronts, it's going to really exciting. GLA x
Yes...another quiet period while we wait for the response to come from UNESCO...could take some time but we've got pretty good waiting muscles on here, the LTHs have anyway. What's another year? Only joking...cheer up, spring's on it's way.
Probably not much...the Green Party's secretary Marta Stenevi became the Spokesperson for MP starting today...Isabella Lovin has left politics.
Fortunately I've been following the mayhem with GameStop. What great entertainment!
Time for you to move on then, TSP...next one on the top of the risers list and you could try a bid of research before you jump in...for you know stuff all about this one.
i dont think he has the bxlls for legal and not a good case
Litigation should start at Easter, this has been a farce for far too long.
If no decision has been made by the end of the year I think they are seriously considering legal. We should have the unesco comment within a few months - Then the government have the rest of the year to come up with a decision
Good morning everybody.
As someone pointed out last week, its more than 3 months since the most recent excuse of "see what UNESCO say"
Does anyone have any opinions about how long KB should wait before starting the legal case against the government. My understanding is that this is considered to be the last option as we have a water tight legal case but how long is KB going to wait.
