3card, aye, Baylan will surely not be putting any pressure on UNESCO for their comments. Nor can he! He is more likely to try and sit on a response, whenever one is received. After all, he has unnecessarily referred our application to UNESCO, more stalling of time away from making a decision, and the referral to avoid a decision is really the same as overseeing there being no administrative process in place for at least the last three years to move our case along. Same thing, only now he can blame UNESCO for holding it all up. Lol.

You could not have written this saga if you tried.

Perhaps I should have said that UNESCO can take as long as it likes doing nothing before doing something, i.e. commenting on our application. We shouldn't be waiting on this, it's now mid-March.

Great points Aug. We don't know what we yearn to know. Kurt does, but I guess he can't share. Not yet.

As for Baylan. He's just been shi@.

In my humble.

Pocko, I do often imagine that this will all come together, it could be truly amazing for us, but then I also keep coming up against walls of doubt. We still have no timescale for Kallak after all these years, only the latest stage of deviation from the process to contend with.

Hence the walls. Finland is looking good, not sure about Kosovo, only that Kurt seems excited about the prospects there. Hopefully there won't be any significant red tape involved with those projects.

I haven't the same levels of interest here now, still got all of my shares but I'm extremely bored of this Kallak crap. It's completely tedious. We have been denied progress in our business by the Government, it's that simple, and I feel it may still have to be a court job, although I sincerely hope not. Now we are waiting for UNESCO and they can take as long as they like to do nothing.

A massive "Boo!"

That would be good and proper Treetop, aye. Another decent RNS today, but yet again, not the main news we are really waiting for.

Atb.

Yes Pocko, unacceptable, but an unfortunate norm for us. Not sure if Kurt has yet received a reply from UNESCO though. Perhaps he has. After such a period of time since submission to them, you would think comments should be back with the Government by now.

Yep, all wheels and no cannon. Not sure how long Kurt will allow UNESCO to dally before he gives the Government a rocket. Referral of our application was many months ago, when referral wasn't even a requirement. Lol.

Yes, it seems the UNESCO referral is wholly unnecessary, but my head hurts Aug. I'm not sure whether Baylan is being extra cautious, or is desperately now just doing something with our application because the KU has uncovered the administrative failings. Had he made a decision immediately after the KU finding our applicaton to be in static mode for three years or so, then perhaps that could have also been challenged by the objectors.

We continue to be let down by the process, but old Baylan surely now has little to no wiggle room left. Kurt is waiting patiently and being a true pro.

Dunno. Lol.

I agree with all of that. What happens next is now the exciting part, post-UNESCO. Does Baylan continue to be as slippery as custard, without the internal pressure to coax him into bringing a decision for us, or will he have his collar severely felt by the PM, enough to make our Ibra's toes curl?

Atb.

How true Aug.

I did enjoy yesterday's RNS, it's more progress, if not on our main asset. Not sure what to make of the Kallak saga now really, as it appears that UNESCO is taking far too long for what is really a ten second decision. Lol.

Forgot to add, it's all only my opinion, and the longer this saga continues, the less I seem to know.

Have a good weekend.

3card, I think you could be spot on. If we were to drill hell for leather on KS without first having the security of the KN concession, then not only would the cash burn be more significant and much faster, Kurt would then also be looking at raising the next wedge sooner and without any concession bolster. What price would we be looking at then for the fundraise? I feel we need the KN concession first, raise the money at a healthier sp, then embark on the KS drill. In view of the politics already in play over the last eight years. Well, perhaps even since we gained the exploration permit.

I wouldn't be too pleased with a fundraise at below the 3.16p level of the last one, which was a whacking discount to the prevailing sp at the time. I did take up the Offer in part, but I wouldn't do so again if no further progress is made with KN. As can be seen, the sp still has yet to recover back to the 5.5/6.5p mark.

So, preserve the funds raised where possible, don't throw the kitchen sink at KS when we haven't yet the licence to move KN along. I feel that would be unnecessary high risk, when there isn't the need. Wait for the concession first, and, of course, we may have to take legal action just in order to get that.

Fine lines.

Thanks Nalfaren, much appreciated.

I know it may fall on deaf ears, and I've said this before, but perhaps Kurt could write to the Swedish PM to highlight, well, everything. Then we know that the PM is fully aware of the situation from our side of the road, not just from what he's told by Baylan and his cronies.

Another idea.

Hi 3card, agreed. That's one way of doing it, but other than taking that drastic option, even threatening legal action, how can he put more pressure on? Baylan's skin is apparently thicker than that of an armadillo, and once we send out the legal action official vibe, it surely then makes it more difficult for us to do business in Sweden. It's a fine line, so what, other than taking steps towards the nuclear option, can Kurt do?

Just trying to think smartly for a change. Lol.

Cheers 3card.

Yes, agreed. The problem is the enforcing of the law. It hasn't been, so how does Kurt bring that about?

I have no answers Pocko. Lol.

Not sure what to make of it all really Pocko. Baylan has known for a year that we have considered legal action once and yet he's played the same game since. Still no decision and now the application is with UNESCO for comments that should really be irrelevant, due to the location of our proposed mine. Not sure how deep Kurt will allow the hole to be dug before he starts to fill it in, hopefully with Baylan in it.

And still we wait. Nearly March. Not long before our next candle.

All the best.

Yes Aug, that is a very good point indeed.

Perhaps Kurt can drop Mr Damberg a line. Lol.

Thanks Suzy. Good info.
