Yes Ed. The Aktie holding increasing has been worthy of note. We must hope that it continues, but the question remains as to the Aktie holders, in terms of their own patience, because the application process nonsense continues to affect and disappoint everyone. We need a decision. Cheers Ed.

I want to see a greater show of strength from Kurt next year. I think that's fair to say as well. He's allowed the Swedes their election, before really pressing for our decision, so he must follow up and push them now, in order to protect the interests of shareholders. Dare I say it, next year has to be a good year for us. Or else! In my view, as resident trog. Lol.

Yes, I've often thought that I'd love to be privy to what Kurt knows. However, supposing it's nothing of note in our favour Aug. Then I'd feel that he's really done a terrible job for us. So I've concluded that it's better to be careful what one wishes for. Lol.

Good point. It can't. Unless the plan is to invest into this with the acceptance of an indefinite timescale. Potentially til death then really. Doesn't sound too appealing Pocko. Lol.

Fair point, but the 77 million SEK would have possibly been double that on Kallak alone by now, if a decision on the concession had come five years sooner. When it should have done. We have rightly had to stop proving up more of the asset, without the concession, keeping the spend lowish overall each year to tickover, precisely because of the inane application process. So 77 million SEK was a decent amount to have spent, up to the point of where we were then waiting for the concession award. The Swedes have massively let us down to date. And themselves. Atb.

Yes Pocko. This is an investment and a business, so he may have to take action. Certainly not be prepared to wait for another year. to see if the Swedes do their job. Hoping that the new government will make a positive difference to our fortunes though. Promptly so. Before the sixth candle? :-/

Not good seeing such manipulation on the spread. Hoping we witness it going the other way though, in the not too distant future. In all fairness. Manipulate ridiculously upwards. Lol. The sp is crap really Geo, but not sure how it will go, now that the mms have started playing around with it. We need some positive news to end the year. Atb.

For weeks the spread has been ridiculously wide. Some 16%. Then even wider yesterday when the mms dropped the Bid to 4.2p from 4.4p, creating a spread of over 20%. Nearly as big as Kallak South. Lol. Now they've narrowed it markedly all of a sudden, shaving off almost two thirds, to just over 7%, sledgehammering the Ask down to 4.5p. In all total unfairness, just in time for Christmas. Lol. You couldn't make it up. I hope Kurt is watching. Seriously.

ExBrex. Howl. Well, that woke me up. Lol. Andy might be right, so yes, I think we should hope for something different. I'll not hibernate yet then Sooz. Have to wait a little longer. Nighty morn. X

Well, who'd have thought we'd be holding an investment where politics decides its fate? It shouldn't do, yet it has done to date, so we need this change. Kurt surely has to be prepared to take the Swedes to court though, I feel, should the change make no difference to our current position. But Sooz, I am chillin' now, so wake me up in January. Lol. x

Good post mate. Fantastic point re the ministry. Yes, it defies logic really and I completely see what you mean. It's a question then of whether the laws are upheld and enforced. If not, and seemingly this has been a slack area, then the Greens will find it much easier to operate according to their own principles and passions, regardless of whether they happen to be observing the law or not. They have certainly been allowed far too much influence in our process, because nobody has yet made a ruling at law in respect of our application, then come out and told them to fook right off. Looking for a change in our fortunes under the new government, but we can only wait and see. I reckon give it two months after "in situ" date, then push for the concession. Sixth year lucky. Lol. Cheers Treetop.

I love my vegetables Aug, but I'm only eating carrots at the mo. Cos they isn't green innit. Lol.

Aug, I think my last post was rubbish as it sounded a bit preachy, so apologies for that. But you get what I mean. The Greens can't be above the law and prevent progress whenever and wherever it suits. If legally a licence is merited for us, one which will enable the type of progress they happen to dislike, then it's tough. They'll have to deal with the disappointment. Atb.

The Greens must understand that the law means everything. Regardless of their views of what may be right or wrong. Or anyone else's for that matter. The law is final. So there we are. :-)

No comment. Lol.

And yet just the other day someone sold over 980,000 shares after lunch. £42k for Christmas. Can't weigh it up can you? Lol.

Yes, might as well unwind now and see what next year brings. Write this one off in terms of getting anywhere with Kal. Though a late pleasant surprise would be nice. I wonder if the Swedes will have their Government before lights out on 2018. Big Stef dressed as Santa, delivering a workable coalition. Lol. Afty. x

Cheers for the links Andy. Soon be time for the Christmas festivities. Lol.

Thanks Sooz. Sorry for any typos. Big Stef knows what he needs to do to sort this jumble out. Fingers crossed.

Simply put. The concession matter must be decided at law, and I expect strong leadership from Kurt once the new Government is in situ. If the Swedes want to keep this case out of the courts, they will have to comply with upholding their own laws and deal with our application promptly, amidst what is (something I'm pleased about) the building publicity in the media, highlighting the mistreatment of our application. Politics doing nothing over the last few years but consume every inch of what should have been an easy application process. It consistently having blocked the chance of any real progress on our Kallak operation. We are edging closer towards five years overdue for this concession decision. Ka-Pow! As we know, over 77 million SEK has been invested into Kal by BEM, but so far, it is proving to be money completely frozen in time, precisely because our progress has been prevented by the authorities. The last two fundraises now also unfortunately on the back of a low share price. The Swedes must be held to account at law, so really then, we should not be concerned with who makes up the next coalition. It shouldn't make any difference whatsoever. Unusually thiough, it seems we are focusing on that with an acute interest, rather than on our investment. At law then. It must be noted. That is the important factor. Kurt must turn to it, should the lack of acceptance of its responsibilities within the next administration be as evident as it has been under this Government's tenure. Only my thoughts on this continuing political cobblers, and how it is detracting from all things BEM. Best wishes all.
