Eric. Had a dream last night . Baylan, fed up with waiting for a response from UNESCO, decided to forget the referral and instead approved the application.

Dan. You might be right about the sp settling following a huge sustained rise but I feel we will now see steady modest growth and dividendsaswe move forward. This suits me being the wrong side of 65 and having spent several years being top heavy in very risky African and other mining related minnows.
But after a horrendous drop last year with covid, the last 12 months has been good time with fantastic returns on PFD, JLP, LLOY, CCL to name a few so I see this as a good time to adjust the balance. Only wish had also gone ahead with HFD at 50p but missed the boat and never dreamt they would 7 bag.

Thanks for update BMR. Did he give any hint he might do shareholders the courtesy of providing a scintilla of an update occasionally by Twitter?

Pernix. I topped up right at the close around 93p so hoping you're wrong on this one lol

Surely the basic problem with climate change is that there are just too many of us on the planet. There aren't enough caves for us all to lead a fossil free life

I'm more inclined to think a special dividend may be on the cards.
Debt down by massive amounts, profits well up (hopefully), interest payments down significantly, pension problems sorted. What's not to like?

TT. Hate to say it but the way this is going, with all the government shenanigans and weasel words I am beginning to think maybe a court case with the aim of punitive damages and cost recovery would be the better option so we can move on as a company and develop our other assets.
Let's face it, if we ever do get the go ahead, there will be so many burning hoops and restrictions that any hopes of 20p to 30p SP will be a distant dream

Why the change of heart Nige?

Nige, sold last time at 119p+ so could be tempted back at somewhere between 110 and 115.

Wondering if I might yet get to buy back in lower after all.

Re "The Kallak story is not about a mine, it’s about the regeneration of Jokkmokk, giving the town a strong economic future that lives beyond mining, which also includes reindeer herding, tourism, forestry and entrepreneurs."
But we have the same problem in the uk. A clean and green coal mine, vital for steel production, is being blocked by the Tories due to their hosting of a climate change conference, notwithstanding that we too will have to import coke to replace what this mine would provide

I'm surprised no-one has played on the fears of the tree hugging, lettuce eating, all creatures great and small Swede greens, by highlighting the cruelty of growing animals for foodandfur and the impact of all that methane on the planet

Abf results out. Drop of 50% in ptp.
Hope that doesn't reflect across the whole sector.

So KB does read the bulletin boards then.
What a pity though that he didn't include anything about the lunacy of not sanctioning a green domestic mine but continuing to import dirty ore from across the world. How that would have looked if sent to every newspaper and tv station in Sweden.

ie "The payment to GDC will represent full and final settlement for all amounts invoiced to Eneo."

re "At the time of the termination of the contract with Eneo in July 2020, VOG had ten Take-or-Pay invoices outstanding. With this settlement, the Company has now recovered four out of ten of these outstanding invoices plus interest to February 2021."
Maisy, does this mean that we have agreed an out of court settlement for 40% of the amount owing and waived rights to the remainder?

Maybe that's it LB. They have maybe agreed to extend the laponia boundaries by 17 miles so they can justify referral to UNESCO. Not as far fetched as one might think

Howezap re "
If I’m correct in thinking, you are suggesting that the BOD have received back the hole 2 assays from lab and wilfully holding them back from release. Ans so , will package hole 2 results with incoming hole 3 to gloss over the fact.

Do not believe they would do this , illegal for starters to hold back market sensitive information and to jeopardise their integrity to prove up the resource would not bode well with any potential buyer if it came out."
I hear where you're coming from but when dealing with AIM aka THE WILD WEST, that's a tad naive.
For example the directors of VOG took several months to tell shareholders that their major customer Eneo, accounting for half of all gas sales, had not been paying them for several months.
Nobody prosecuted them

Anthony. You've absolutely nailed it there. If all we have to rely on is Eneo and Westmed we may as well sell up now and crystallize the hit.
Roy has had over a year to diversify this business with an expanding, high profit, industrial power base. But the company itself was saying the same thing a few years ago when eneo first defaulted and it was realised there was an imbalance in our income streams.
And yet all this time later, all we have is a stagnated number of customers and a modest increase in gas consumption.
Hope they disbanded the sales team cos they clearly can't sell.

Suzy. Re "there's an election next year and the Moderates are currently doing well in the opinion polls "
Are you suggesting you would be prepared to wait until then with no legal action?
Hope you don't think I'm focusing just on your posts. Just slowly catching up on LSE after a day off.
