Hope you 2 long termers are ready for another week of action and some blue days..... getting closer to a decision and some meetings without tea and biscuits for the go slow ministry personel
GLA
Yes, you are right, Suzy. it is my post. Thanks.
Have a great weekend.
//Sssmajl
Thanks Eric, very welcome....another agonizing week. On we go then. x
I do trust Kurt has thoroughly examined Baylan's letter to him and sought further legal advice, rather than just accepted its contents.
I'm not saying anything more.
Sending you my love. x
ooops that went wrong I'll start again ...
Thank's Sssmajl, you're working very hard for us all. Have a good weekend.
ps Sssmajl...Your working very hard. :-)
I believe that comes from a post by Sssmajl who sent an e mail to Annie Loof:
First of all, I do not intend to enter into the debate on whether or not the matter is included in the list of cases before a decision.
I thought, however, to reflect a little on today's question time in Parliament, which I believe was a fairly flat story. Baylan was allowed to grind his politician's mill without being questioned, and one couldn't help but think about the opposition. Where was it? A little bowing and bending for Mr Minister - from all directions.
Sent, as some of you may remember, an email to Annie Lööf about where the Center Party is at issue and whether you can support. Received a response from a party colleague to her today. A good answer with sound values, but I obviously wanted to see more of it transferred to today's debate.
At least we now know that the focus is on the issue and can hope for more pressure in the nutrition committee and future questions.
"Big thank you for your email, Annie greets and thanks and has asked me to give our views on the matter. "
And it has translated as Legal certainty and it should read Legal uncertainty
Firstly, this is, of course, an entirely unacceptable operation. The Legal certainty that is permitted today must be removed. It is a matter for the government, but the centre party runs in Parliament, among other things, by lifting the matter in the committee on nutrition and through debates and questions with the responsible minister in Parliament's house. If we manage to maintain and preferably develop our forward position as mining, we must protect and maintain the competence and knowledge that exists from mapping to aftermarket.
Today, the authorisation procedures for Swedish mining are long and difficult and also spread across several different authorities. Unfortunately, the conditions for the licensing of mining activities have begun to slow down in recent years. We believe that the government must begin to determine the cases of processing concessions collected on the government table, everything else is unacceptable. The vast majority of cases relate to norrbotten.
This year, Parliament addressed a so-called announcement to the government which, among other things, aims to avoid the exact deaths of the mining mining process. We will continue to follow the question and lift the issue where we can, however, as I said was the responsibility of the government."
My apologies Suzy, I couldn't resist posting that with the dropping share price ;) We've all been here for a long time. I'm hoping it is imminent too. Semantics from politicians etc are often clouded. Here's to a positive outcome soon.
Good find.. the pressure gauge is uping from all directions
GLA
Nickrjsmith.....How do you know? It would be difficult to renage on the word or it's equivalent "forthcoming", personally I'm understanding it to be imminent, just pretty scared about what it will be.
And here comes the slow and gradual slip down to 7p... the 'forthcoming report' is clearly not imminent!
Not trying to quell the fire, I have no more money to invest. It's just a familiar cycle since 2011!
Still - at least when the positive news does come through eventually, we should all be happy then. IMHO etc.
Ibjj Lol.... what are you like?
Morning All.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-10-09/sweden-needs-to-borrow-like-crazy-to-ease-the-economic-pain
or they could start giving a toss about their economy
Swedes appear to be still confident and sitting at 8.5 p.
All bounced back over there and now at 8.5p on the ask. If you have cash buy now here as it will rebound
Swedes losing their reputation for being ice cool under pressure! Seems some of them thought that a question in the house and a couple of statements meant a decision this week. By Christmas would be more realistic. Ore still in the ground, not going anywhere.
Successful money making manipulation by the Aktie owners.
All on the back of unfounded hope, optimism, conjecture, expectation......
When will people learn?
Suckered in every time.
FFS!
Thanks bricktop...It’s good to hear upbeat talk in the storm...here’s to more good news!
First non blue day this week.... if we hold tmrw its been a good week for rumour and research..... not to mention pressure gauge going up up up
GLA
..and...
Now, new business minister Ibrahim Baylan and his government colleagues are trying to quickly save what can be saved.
Sharp decisions are needed to show that there is seriousness behind the ambitions to develop Sweden as a mining nation. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to defend the Social Democratic mining policy in the 2022 election movement.
Long-term and unpredictable authorization processes scare away investors.

MP Mattias Karlsson (M), Luleå, has decided to notify the Government to the Parliament's Constitutional Committee (KU) for the late handling of the processing concession for Kallak, the iron ore deposit in Jokkmokk.
It is no wonder that Karlsson and other opposition politicians take the opportunity to give the S-led government a nod. Unfortunately, the preparation of the Kallak case leaves some to be desired.
The company Beowulf Mining has carried out test drilling in the area since 2010 - and in April 2013 the company submitted an application for a processing license.
Since then - for more than six years - the case has been balled as a hot potato between Bergsstaten, the County Administrative Board of Norrbotten, the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, the National Heritage Board and the government.
It is a management that has long since passed the reasonable limits.
In a debate article in Dagens Samhälle, January 2, 2018, nine Northern Sotho politicians - including Helena Öhlund, Älvsbyn, Robert Bernhardsson, Jokkmokk, Ulrica Hammarström, Pajala, and Niklas Nordström, Luleå - also reacted to the drawn-out process.
They pointed out that the tedious and unpredictable management of the government hampered the opportunities to develop the mining industry in Sweden, which is in conflict with the national mineral strategy that was nailed in 2013.
Unfortunately, they got it right. According to reports from the Canadian think tank Fraser Institute, Sweden has become less attractive to mining investors in recent years.
In 2016, Sweden was ranked 9th in the world. Now Sweden has dropped to 16th place, which is ominous.
As a reason, the industry states that the tough licensing processes in Sweden cost too much time, money and commitment.
It is deeply worrying for Sweden as an industry, but also for climate policy.
Swedish mining production is a world leader in both sustainability and climate-smart innovations. Therefore, it is bad if Sweden loses ground and investors instead apply to countries with poorer environmental and work environment conditions.
At the mining industry's autumn meeting on November 28, 2017, the then Minister of Industry, Mikael Damberg, spoke wisely about the importance of the mining industry. He emphasized the ability of innovation and the important role of industry in the transition to a fossil-free society.
It felt like the government was on the right track in mining policy and would help reform the permitting processes. Two years later, however, it is only to be noted that the problems remain. Kallak is a concrete and visible proof.
Thus, the government has left an open target for Mattias Karlsson and the Moderates - and it would be wrong for them not to kick the ball.
Now, new business minister Ibrahim Baylan and his government colleagues are trying to quickly save
Thanks Nalfaren.
Nighty night All. X
