Old Baylo should be in a tight spot, but I'm not sure that he is. What's to prevent more can kicking now that UNESCO has commented? I don't feel we can rule that out, in spite of the need for Baylo and Stef to perform, all things considered. They haven't performed and yet have got back in. Lol.

Atb.

Interesting. Aye, and we've been used and continue to be used as a pawn in their game. It seems that the Government is pro-Sami, if only because it is frightened of its own shadow in that respect, eggshell treading, so the result we see is that of hidden policy, lol, being actually against new industry and enterprise, green or otherwise, in spite of what is said in conferences and so on. This when there remains the real need for jobs in a decimated area. I find it all totally bizarre Aug. The cost of Government dalliance in their own permitting process being borne by the good people of Jokkmokk, and of course, by us.

Kurt has been unable to find a way around the problem, it seems, though he is no doubt involved more than we are aware, but the kettle can't continue to boil here indefinitely without shareholders needing a drink.

We are parched bruv. Lol.

Aug, yes, why is he still holding down the job?

Not sure.

That sounds promising Sooz. Surely we can't carry on in limbo forever. Not with the law in our favour and the KU report. Plus, the fact that Baylo didn't put a time limit on UNESCO for its input. Naughty that.

The Government already looks suspect. Lol.

IMO.

Hi Sooz. I feel Kurt will still have to press more for any decision from the Government, even though the UNESCO comments are in. He shouldn't leave it a minute longer now that we know that the Government set-up will be similar, if not the same as before the vote of no confidence in Stef.

Only my thoughts.

Afty. x

Morning Oaktree. No doubt it's a mess, but the Swedes still have plenty of appetite for it, with the recent RNS figures showing an increase again in percentage of these held. That said, most of those will not have held for as long as we have, so the path has been an easier ride to stomach perhaps. I don't feel Kurt will have problem raising future monies, precisely because of the potential of Kallak, but the discounts on current sp at the time may increase, due to the painfully slow process for concession here, and that cost will of course be borne by existing shareholders. As ever.

I'm not happy that we still have no fixed date for conclusion of this concession farce, but now the Government is seemingly sorted again, with familiar faces, I believe Kurt should demand a date for a decision to be given. In all fairness, but particularly in the interests of existing long-term shareholders, who have fought this fight all the way, but who should not be relied upon to continue to do so indefinitely. The investment is already completely unmanageable, in terms of when we are likely to see a return, if any, for our efforts. We need, I feel, an actual date for delivery, not merely the words from a Government body that has continually let us down, no date being provided.

All in my view Oaktree.

I wouldn't mind an update on Kosovo, to see if we are making further headway at all. Today's RNS was to be expected, sooner or later, so that's it out of the way and Kurt has at least limited the dilution.

Not too happy with the way this is going this year, but things could change in the blink of an eye I suppose, albeit a very slow blink.

Good luck all.

That's a lot of free money Xeno. No wonder those folks can afford snowmobiles. Seems they are well catered for.

Thanks for your input, much appreciated.

Yes Aug. Good post.

3card, lol. Bozzer, no, he's in a class all on his own.

He's more like a waxwork that has seen better days, on the list of those to be melted down.

Optimistically, perhaps if the same lot gets in again then that could actually be good, because they've already exhausted all avenues for delaying a decision on our application.

Optimistically.

Yes Sooz, I do like politics, but I also like favourable outcomes and we still aren't seeing one precisely because of the politics in play here, which really is a fair bit whacky. Lol.

Hi Wots. Did you also see the link Suzy posted earlier. It confirms what Andy says.

It's amazingly bad Andy. The whole thing. Stef has a vote of no confidence but nobody else yet it seems is able to do any better. Lol.

Yes. Let's hope they can come up with something better. Still a few tries left. Lol.

Mornin'. I know you are asking Andy the question, but there's a bit about what happens next in here Sooz:

Hi Sooz. I'm surprised at that. Thanks for the link.

"1000-1 at aug power!" Howl.

It seems as if someone wants to bankrupt us and take the prize.

Yet we stand firm.

Ka-Pow!

Interesting that Xeno, many thanks for sharing. I can't see big Stef resigning either. Keep a grip on power until the bitter end.

Best regards. Have a decent weekend.
