Morning Pabslabs....Mattias Karlsson (M) and Linda Ylivainio (C).
Great news.. somebody is pushing from within the Swedish parliament itself.
The caveat being...the review could take longer than the decision..we know how slow anything involving govt is moving in Sweden ????
Eric.....Did you see this from Sssmajl yesterday evening:
"Have thought a little about what it became of the University of Appeal Mattias Karlsson (M Luleå) filed against Baylan. There is no update on the Riksdag's page, but maybe there is someone in the forum with knowledge of KU's methodology?
The best thing is, of course, if Baljan ensures that a decision is made, because then we will avoid a conflict situation, but I do not think you should ignore the alternative. And that the notification is more serious than party policy is quite clear in the following sentence:
"The Administration Act § 9 states that administrative matters must be handled as simply, quickly and cost-effectively as possible without neglecting legal certainty. In the present case, the individual is out with over SEK 80 million pending a decision. "
What Mattias Karlsson argues is, in other words, that the processing is a violation of the Administrative Law. Quite serious, for the incumbent minister ..."

Sooz, great point. We haven't heard anything further re the contents from Kurt, so not sure whether the Government has made public his letter. It's likely also that one of our kindly Swedish investors would have posted such info on here for us. We saw the contents from Göran to Bayls, so where is Kurt's detailed effort?
The Government is hiding it. Bottom o' pile like. Lol.
Dunno.
Eric.....Just wondering if that letter from Kurt was ever made public, I can't remember it.
The potato waffles. Lol.
The thing is, I'm not sure Bayls feels under any pressure at all. Hence our lack of priority in this priority period.
I wish we knew who informed Kurt of the priority for our case though. Shame that Kurt won't give shareholders those kind of specifics.
I would. Lol. Then perhaps some pressure would be on.
Three more weeks maybe then Sooz.
Evie. x
Erics...I agree that it's unacceptable....next date 27 November.. but don't hold your breath, he could well just waffle again.. but the pressure wont go away if he does. Nothing again on the agenda.
Afty aft x
Hi Sooz. Kurt can't force the Government to do anything, no, but surely an International Court could? We can't be left dangling indefinitely for a decision, and as an investor in Sweden, we must have certain rights of protection, being that our business is directly reliant on officially issued licences on behalf of the State. Unfortunately for us, Baylan and his predecessor have not yielded to acute embarrassment over the shambolic, and done anything to swiftly rectify the problem. Either for us or anyone else. So it appears.
I feel we need more information from Kurt now on where we are up to precisely with this decision. He was fobbed off by Baylan and seems to have accepted it, but I certainly want to know the details of why he hasn't found Baylan's response unacceptable, or, if he actually has, what our next move is.
My thoughts today in the afty aft. Lol.X
Kinda hope it all gets a big slot on the 27th.... of how not to do it.... and how things are fixed now then to prove it.... which they must .....an award is given with green aspects all covered.... of course

8% + in response to that statement or because it's Wednesday, my guess is because it's Wednesday. We've had plenty of those go ahead statements over the years but never followed by any going ahead.
Tintin...lol fingers crossed he's not a hypocrite and he's going to follow through on that statement.
Thanks Geovanni...That mission statement from MrBaylan is the reason I invested in Sweden in the first place...no child labour and environmental controls.
he's basically saying we should exploit our minerals in a green way (which BEM is proposing) and not import from the third world with low environmental standards. What a useless hypocrite.
I always judge by what people do not say. Still, we can use his words at the court if there's ever a NO.
Article from Baylan this morning

Is it possible that he could be stating this and still not say Yes to the application?
"The Tethyan Belt of south-east Europe can be regarded as Europe's chief copper-gold (lead-zinc-silver) province."
I've promised to be more economical with the E word...the above looks interesting.
The political lobbying is evidence imo that Kurt is taking all the steps he can to push for a decision....the CEO of a small company cannot force the government to take any action they don't want to. The Law? What law?
Morning All.
More likely that Budge sees no prospect if a decision on Kallak ( and is unwilling to push for one ) so is progressing another project in order to give the illusion of earning his salary.
It appears to be an opportunity to be passive aggressive to me: "It's pleasantly refreshing to work in Kosovo, where, on the past year's evidence, Vardar has been able to make tremendous progress, get things done, and deliver real exploration success."
Though no doubt they need more funds; this kind of suggests Beowulf are becoming the main source of funding if they need simply £100k to complete work and get ready for next year. I hope this isn't just a scam of the type we saw Clive pull.
that values Vardar at over £10m? And we own over £4m worth of it? It looks exciting and will probably be all dug up and sold before kallak even starts
Yet another £100k of our much needed cash resources thrown at Vardar just to gain another 1.4%.
Saw a programme on telly the other day where a quite intelligent lady was persuaded over and over again to part with money to a very plausible confidence trickster who kept coming back for more. I do hope this is not a parallel although perhaps it means that there is reason to loosen the purse strings as a decision on Kallak has been given the green light.
Inclined to agree with the far end , most unlikely the government,especially this shower,would take a decision pending a legal challenge.
Why would 'legal action' suspend a decision? What evidence is there that a legal challenge would freeze government action?
If there's to be any legal challenges this would suspend all decisions concerning a Kallak license.
Dangerous course to take imo, as it could be tied up in the courts longer than we have already waited.
There would be no government action whilst any legal challenges are made.
No change really, but they will have a readymade excuse.
Tick, tock, tick, tock
PS That was worst case scenareo....I don't believe we will be subjected to retrospective legislation; I imagine that is about the consultation process, which will mean all parties are obliged to engage with it...good. Now I'm making things up...what other choice to we have in such a maze.
