Yep. Let's say that. Lol.

Extensions of time. Pmsl

You've made some good points Vig. I feel it's touch and go as to whether he can possibly be sued already, for his actions that were supposedly on our behalf. Him overseeing any new project doesn't bear thinking about.

Only my opinion though, and I'm not a lawyer.

Just one point, Alex's surname is Borrelli, not Borelli.

Atb.

Thanks Mr Dull. Perhaps big Stef will sort it all out this coming week then. Be good to rectify the situation before Christmas. Best wishes.

Thanks for sharing. Business is business it seems. LKAB is mighty. The Sami might complain as a matter of course, but the thing is, working for the mining company could then be seen as certain folk having double standards. Cheers Tintin.

I'm not happy that he didn't really press for it before the election, but we are now having to wait for this change of Government. It's that simple, in my view lb. Unfortunately. Have a good break away anyway and well said re Mick. I hope he's on the mend. Cheers lb.

I said not at this time. There is no new Government in situ yet and as Suzy I feel rightly mentioned, an interim Government will not sign off on our application. Kurt has said that he will press for a decision post-election, but he obviously means once the new Government is installed, so we shall see first, what he actually does. In all fairness to him.

I agree, no point whatsoever in petitioning Kurt at this time. I'll leave it at that. Cheers Aug.

Hi Aug. Good points made by you there. Yes, I feel we have been kept in the dark on Kallak since all final comments were submitted. We only know that we are continuing to wait without a timescale. As per, and although Kurt speaks of waiting until after the dust has settled from the election, before he presses for a decision, this itself is all very unspecific. Press just how exactly, timescale for such pressing before he considers a different approach, or even if he has one in mind etc. He also may or may not have had offers for Kallak, even JV talks, but we aren't privy to such meat or even any bones. I appreciate that he cannot disclose anything of weight until it is finalised, but I do feel he has spread the Kallak news extremely thinly this year, at possibly the most pivotal time for the Company, and when shareholders are already left flabbergasted by stunning levels of Swedish bureaucracy. So I believe he could have given us more frequent news on the state of play, and because he hasn't, it can also then be seen as a failure to really push the Swedes into action. Nothing new to report, because he hasn't pushed for it. In fact, he appears to have actually backed off, which has played beautifully into Swedish hands, the election taking precedent for the entire year! We again have nothing to show for our patience, save another year coming to a close without the drill bit turning on our flagship project. No, I'm not happy. We just don't know what the fook is really going on, and I've struggled with Kurt's approach to the Kal issue and with his latest plan to venture into Kosovo, the latter in terms of timing, location and whether it was even bloody well necessary. Finally, waiting for a decision without even a likely date for one should not be acceptable, especially when a business is trying to forge ahead, and particularly one having already invested over 77 million SEK, but this same situation has become so old now that it is almost passing itself off as a comfortable norm. We shareholders have been far too happy to talk about Sweden and its political situation, riding the electoral unicorn, lol, rather than concentrating on our investment. This year has been absolutely rubbish and we have all been far too easily hoodwinked. By the Swedes, by Kurt and by ourselves. In my humble Aug. Night.

Good post. The Government has been sloppy in its dealing with our application, including since all final comments were in. Nobody has come forward and looked at the time already taken and done anything to rectify the issue. Then we've had the election excuse, adopted by everyone including Kurt and Göran. Just supposing this state of nothing happening continues though, once the newly formed government is in place. What will Kurt do differently? I'm not overly happy with his performance this year, in all honesty. I feel he has been far too light on the Swedes in general, but particularly following the submission of all final comments. His move into Kosovo also questionable. Why take a chance on a former yet recent war zone, when, in keeping with our good name, Beowulf, there must be other opportunities within Scandinavia. I feel it was a risky move, because most of our investors are Scandinavian, if we take the Aktie ownership as a base for that logic. What do they feel about it, I wonder. Anyway, he's had a poor year, in my opinion. I feel he's let the frustrations in Sweden get the better of him, and instead of hunting for blood and demanding a decision on Kallak, or at least an end date for one, which he could have then relayed to shareholders, he's contributed towards and really encouraged the continuance of the malaise. I remain invested, of course, Kallak is superb. but I don't believe we should just take on the chin everything that occurs here. The Swedish election was in September, but the excuse for a potential delay on our application was offered many months prior. Kurt should, in my view, not have accepted that at all. Far from it. Five years, seven months and counting. Anyway, it needed saying. Atb.

I agree with much of what you've said tonight. I personally feel that both Kurt and Göran used the election as an early excuse to relay to shareholders, for nothing occurring on our application. The Swedes then naturally obliged. Of course they would. Once all final submissions were in I feel Kurt should have kept the heat on for a determination date, instead of taking a seat and waiting patiently for the cancelled train. Lol. When the new government is formed, I therefore expect him to press for the licence, rather than spend more time chewing the fat with stakeholders. The Swedes surely don't need to be reminded about the potential of the Kallak project. Have to see.

Is that why investors on the Aktie hold nearly 60% of the company shares? If Kallak was dead in the water, the Aktie holding would be close to zero. Nice try, you old witch.

Hi Bob. Fair comment, but these are not the annual results. They are only nine month financials and a quarterly management update. The RNS mentions when the annual results will be out, being February of next year. Mention of all assets held should be contained within the annual results. In my opinion. Cheers Bob.

Big Stef has another chance Sooz. Something which he may have thought would never come again. If he can't manage to form a government this time, then I'll be a monkey's uncle. Lol.

Pro-mining, but lacking in the responsibility to turn the ideal into reality.

Thanks for that Mr Dull. Sounds reasonable.

Yes, we must continue to have faith, considering how outstanding Kallak is, and stick to our guns. BEM would otherwise collapse, which is no doubt what some out there want. Thankfully then, it's in our own hands. We have the law on our side and an embarrassing trail of documented mistreatment by the Swedish authorities. They will have to get their act together or face the music, and the concession cannot be denied if we merit it, which we do, no matter who may be upset. Five years and seven months waiting is already utterly ridiculous, and a "no" now could be legitimately challenged, as can any further time taken for a decision, once the new government is in place. It will soon be approaching a year since all final submissions were in, with no excuse for the delay offered except that of the election. Well, the election was over in September. When the Swedes have their new government finalised then, we should be on our way. In my humble, and based on the saturation point of this delay having been exceeded, the legal criteria met for the award, and the increasing media coverage regarding the process, reflecting badly on the authorities. Good luck all.

Thanks Sooz and I wholly agree with what you've said. The matter will surely have to be concluded once the new government is in situ. Imagine if the Greens were allowed to have their way as a matter of course. I doubt there would ever be any progress made whatsoever, in terms of the development of new industry. I mean, our proposed mining project is to be a green operation! Have they overlooked that? Lol. The Greens still only clinching such a small percentage of the Swedish vote says it all. Wrong approach, inflexible, confrontational. Nighty morn. X

Hi 3card. Yes, I feel that Bozzer has been woeful for us, whether intentionally or otherwise. I happen to believe he has knowingly stitched us up, but that is only my own opinion. How he could have made a balls up of Kabwe to such an extent that we are left with only a tiny percentage of any future profits (after JLP has taken out costs etc), on an asset we wholly own and have ZEMA approval for to process lead and zinc, is beyond belief. It is for that reason, I have to conclude that he's done everything on purpose. Including not sourcing funding in a timely manner.

But he's done it all fookin' successfully. Lol.

It seems to me that his own interests have come first, and said interests
unfortunately haven't been the same as those of BMR shareholders.

Whether we do relist, time will tell, but if we do, what exactly can we trust him with?

Certainly not a comb. Lol.

Cheers 3card. Good luck to us, and I reckon we'll need every ounce of it.

I agree. This year though, there seems to have been more media exposure pointing not only towards the failings in our application process, but to the need for jobs in Jokkmokk and surrounding areas. I would say, the more the situation is highlighted, the greater the chance something will be done about it. Wishful thinking perhaps.
