Yes, Breca was a tough old bird, but he was right about the time taken for concession. I argued with him until I was blue in the face, but he was correct because he was aware of the political scene in Sweden. He was a character but as you say, honest about his agenda. Good that.

I’ll have to keep my beady eye out for sudden changes in character of folks who long since have never changed in character. Lol.

Pocko should be kept on his toes, it’s only fair. x

Sooz, yes, it seems you pounced on Pocko unfairly there. Lol.

By 2026 for Kallak and Finland project, no date for Kosovo. First time if I recall that any date has even been loosely given for Finland. The Hensen factor perhaps. A large gap in time between now and then, so let’s hope and trust it can be filled with more shiny things.

Hmmm, hey, would we recognise a 5th columnist?

Yep!

Yes Pocko, agree.

ADF, good. Thanks for sharing.

Lb, the presentations will always be in this mode, but the information was better, in my view. He is never going to be a superior public speaker, I thought we’d all got accustomed to that by now. I was trying to see beyond his delivery stumblings and look at what he was telling us, rather than how. I know the how doesn’t come naturally to him.

I’m also invested and trying to be optimistic. I didn’t get the sense that this presentation was wheeled out solely in an attempt to raise money. For starters, the venue was tiny.

Bye for now.

What did you good people here make of the latest presentation?

My feeling is that Kurt was very pleased with the tie-in with Hensen, and even though we only have a MOU, there seems to me to be more weight to it than that, judging by what he was saying re Hensen’s experience in the sector. He mentions 2026 for Finland too, so maybe there is already some kind of plan being formulated. Or why give any date? He didn’t do so for Kosovo. I liked that he indicated all three of our projects could each be standalone projects, so potentially be split and sold as separate businesses. Also that he believes the permitting authorities and Court must contribute with more timely decisions for businesses, in line with the economic and environmental needs of Sweden. Will this occur though? Finally, the gold anomaly at Kosovo, the Vardar team is investigating where it comes from, currently the source unknown, but more info is being gathered around the area. I liked that.

He didn’t address the woeful sp performance, mention another fundraise or the Company waiting on the Sami appeal, but I guess it was a presentation about the business projects and their prospects, what they are offering, so I didn’t mind the presentation at all in that respect, and at least there was enough interest shown for a few questions at the end.

My thoughts are that it was a decent overview.

Ha ha!

Yes, they have always left it until the very last second to lodge their objections or submit their thoughts. It seems to be a tradition.

The concern is that it’s the Sami’s objection to a Government decision, we are not involved, even though the continued delay to the final outcome directly impacts on us.

Amazing.

Pocko, Yes, it probably will. Even if there is no reason. Howl.

Roller, Sven, oh yes, I forgot about him!

I mean to say that it’ll always be reindeer herding and husbandry, so what is the extension of time needed for? Lol.

That’s not a reason for an extension of time again though is it?

What reason has been given for that Andy?

Great Andy, thanks.

Thank you Alan. Yep, we have to keep going. As for this, at least the sp isn’t a penny again yet. Lol. Been there before and some of us rode that storm, so no reason why this won’t turn upwards again at some point. Just have to wait.

Best wishes to you.

The Proactive presentation from last year was videod and is available, but I can’t find anything yet for the recent September presentation.

Thanks Roller. Cheers.

Thanks for the birthday comment, kind of you. Cheers 3card.

Not sure what to make of this share at the mo, Obviously hoping it still has a lot going for it, sp slide aside. Things can turn quickly for the good, with the right news.

Oaktree, hi. No, I didn’t get involved here until late 2010 with an initial holding, then added more up to February 2011. Lastly just taking up the 3.16p options offer a couple of years ago. The difference now is that BEM has finally gained a mining concession, so it does at least have a chance of a mining operation becoming a reality. We know how painful this investment has been for those of us who have held onto our shares, so yes, many of us existing holders are disappointed and disgruntled with the present sp viewing. Bearing in mind we are now also funding Vardar, without the income to do so. Kurt has made this more of a gamble for shareholders, but obviously his thinking is that it broadens the opportunity for a commercial discovery.

My focus is on the concession, which we legally merit, and as Andy has just mentioned, Ulla is busy contacting people with a view to progressing our business to the next stage, submission of the Environmental Application. Good to hear that she’s been active in trying to move things along, albeit an update from Kurt about our progress would have been an idea. Rather than Andy telling us what’s been occurring. Nice to have some regular details. Otherwise the market will take it that we are doing absolutely nothing.

Little things can mean a lot. Filling in the picture and raising confidence.

Only my view.

Hi Oaktree. Not sure about 10 years. Here are Ulla’s comments from the 13 June RNS:

Ulla Sandborgh, CEO, Jokkmokk Iron comments:

“It's an exciting time to join Jokkmokk Iron Mines as CEO. The Company can now move forward after receiving the grant from the Swedish Government for an Exploitation Concession for Kallak North. We are now focused on taking the next steps, securing all remaining permits and moving towards our goal to be in production in 3-4 years.”

So not 10 years to see some real meat on the bones of the sp?

Best regards.

Pocko, no, I wasn’t suggesting we borrow to pay off the existing loan.
