The final verdict is delayed - the government gets more time to express itself

PUBLISHED JANUARY 8, 2024

The government had until today, January 8, to submit its opinion in the matter surrounding the mine in Gállok/Kallak.

But now they have applied and been granted more time until February 15.

In March 2022, the then government granted a processing concession to the Gállok/Kallak mining plans outside Jokkmokk. The decision was called historic and the mining company was burdened with a series of conditions.

The decision was appealed by Jåhkågasska tjiellde, Sirges Samiby and the Nature Conservation Association, and on September 20 last year, the negotiations were concluded in the Supreme Administrative Court.

- There has been a concern about how it will turn out, but I am also hopeful that we will be able to stop the mine, said reindeer herder Siri Länta from Jåhkågasska tjiellde, to SVT Sápmi.

Camilla Wikland, Jåhkågasska tjiellde's legal representative, said after the hearings that she believed a verdict would come within a few months.

But first the government, in the form of the Ministry of Climate and Business, must express itself on the issue and they should have submitted their views by today, January 8 at the latest.

But now it has been pushed forward further.

In an email to SVT Sápmi, the Supreme Administrative Court writes that the Ministry of Business and Industry has applied for and been granted a deferment to submit an opinion until February 15, 2024.

And on the SVT site, from 8 January, this article also mentions it. Thought I’d seen the info before. Not sure if ADF posted it:

Thanks. 👍

Hi Wodman. Good morning. Yes, many of us knew that the Government had asked for a delay in giving its opinion, but I’d be grateful if you could post a link to that information re the new date.

Many thanks.

Yes. We did recover but then slipped back a little, so hoping we climb again now. It’s thoroughly unpleasant viewing this sp in the 1s though. Yucky.

I suppose if you are born somewhere freezing cold, then you learn to get warm quickly enough. Or perish. Lol.

Sooz, lol.

Me and Budgie will run it, now that he’s all Yoga-certified and chilled. Got to say, I miss him. Top bloke. Currently we are worse off without him. Well, the sp says we are.

Perhaps it would be more appropriate for Ed to address his shareholders with greater frequency via RNS, rather than engage with certain factions of the Swedish media that publish what they like anyway. For effect, and never positive.

Just sayin’.

Afty aft.

Great post Suzy.

I’d rather we took our time seeking the correct person, than have a fast appointment followed by more carnage. 👍

Thanks Wod. Here’s the link, for anyone who can ‘Logga In’.

Lol. He’s a pillock.

Allegedly.

#EV batteries require ~52kg of #graphite & 20kg of #steel per battery. #BEM is well placed to provide a future supply of both materials with its graphite projects & high grade Kallak project (source: https://ow.ly/GMHH50Qo3hH)

…..perfectl……lol.

Sooz, Augie, thanks for the links. I guess BEM is still searching for that perfectl person to manage Jokkmokk Iron. Still haven’t heard anything concrete on that front.

Could be interesting if the newbie is appointed just after the Kal Appeal decision. Who it is, or even if we are really pursuing anyone at all will out!

Nighty.

Evening SJ. Yes, I’ll keep looking in there to see if anything new is posted. Shame we have to keep searching for the info, but if anything is new new, lol, it’ll hopefully also come via RNS, one would trust.

Enjoy your eve. 👍

Evie. Yes, they keep supplying these snippets of info. Nothing new to us, but others may see it for the first time, so it all helps Sooz.

Lovely innum. Lol.

Hi all. Already known perhaps, but this info was posted on BEM’s LinkedIn page around 5 hours ago:

“BEM completed a PEA at Kallak showing strong project economics with an NPV8 of US$117m. Kallak has the potential to generate 250 direct & 300 indirect jobs in Jokkmokk and SEK1bn in tax revenues if 70% the mine's workforce is based locally.”
