But Stefan does not represent the Green Party. As PM, he represents the nation. I'm sure he'll be acutely aware that the Greenies have continued to obstruct this application process and that it has become highly embarrassing to the wider audience, ultimately reflecting badly on him. Should he be PM again, he must deal with the issue accordingly and promptly, to prevent further liability in the matter. Otherwise he is guilty of showing bias towards the Greens, instead of dealing with everyone even-handedly. That won't look good under the spotlight. In my opinion.

Big Stef again. Lol. If he's successful again, then I feel it could actually be good for us, insofar as Kurt can point to the fact that under Stef's tenure last time our application was neglected. Stef will have this new chance to deliver or face legal consequences. What I'm saying is that if Stef does get in, remain in really, Kurt should be banging on his door immediately. Better the devil you know sometimes Sooz, but in my view, Kurt needs to be tougher than he has been. Let's see what occurs.

Now JLP has all but secured Kabwe, it will have to get a shift on or risk losing the licence. Lol.

£300k isn't bad, if that's true. Be nice to know officially, but any amount is better in the coffers than not.

The new acquisition will obviously have to be less complex than the Kabwe tailings project, or at least have fewer issues, so we'll have to see what Bozzer comes up with.

Unless he simply disappears into the night. Lol.

Unlikely yes, but we are five years and seven months into waiting for the award already. You mentioned the possibility of us not getting the award, so I took it from there. Alice, well, so far words haven't resulted in action, certainly nothing in keeping with the supposedly proud pro-mining tradition. Unfortunately it only seems as if Kurt's strategy is one of waiting, which the Swedes are thoroughly enjoying. Lol. Aye, let's see what next week brings. Nighty night. x

Sooz, should the case have to go to court. Those legal costs.

Suzy, we have to be given the permit if we merit it legally. If they deny us the concession, without a valid reason, and it has already been established that nobody has come up with one, there being no direct detrimental effects from a potential "green" mining operation, the MI happy with that aspect, then the Kosovo £250k could have been used towards our legal costs, or to keep us ticking over for longer, without the earlier need for a fundraise. Furthermore, lol, if any of us here believed this concession wouldn't be awarded, I'm sure we'd not be keeping hold of our shares and looking forward with glee to a project at Kosovo that isn't 100% owned by BEM. Particularly in view of the fact that some of us have been waiting for the primary Kal project to take off for close to a decade. Afty aft.

Pocko, those are also my thoughts on Kosovo. I'd rather Kurt hadn't have gone outside of Scandinavia at all, and been satisfied really with our existing projects. I'm only just getting used to the fact that he's ventured into Finland! As you say, the £250k is a lot for our company to shell out, at a time when we haven't yet received the Kal permit and the sp isn't exactly booming. Although I don't like what he's done, I have to conclude that the information he is privy to in Sweden merits this move. Otherwise, it would certainly appear a foolish one, it also being someone else's project that we only have a small stake in. Have to see what unfolds from the Swedes in the coming weeks eh? Best of luck.

Yes, we must trust that Kurt's Kosovo plan of growth for BEM is a well thought out one. He is surely privy to "big" info from Sweden, hence the £250k spend at what seems like a funny old time to some of us. Alternatively, the next news is, there isn't any "big" info and he has been detained, restrained and sectioned under the Mental Health Act. Lol.

Cheers Bring. Yeah, I'm still here, just don't post much as waiting to see if we do relist and what occurs. Spot on re JLP, and not sure why they aren't forging ahead yet, but obviously we are relying on them for a return now, considering the Bozweasel seems to have virtually gifted them a couple of $billion worth of our assets.

I couldn't bear it if the JLP lot also turned out to be a load of duffers.

Have to see eh? No stress now though, because we are currently lying dormant. I'd like to know how much cash Bozzer recovered from past robbers though, and what new acquisition he intends to go after.

As usual, news is scarce, and now we aren't listed it's even easier for Boz to dodge such menial tasks as keeping us informed.

Good luck to us all, if the ball ever gets rolling again.

Good points. Yes, I suppose it was an exercise in proving up a serious enough amount of the deposit and to the JORC level required to gain the "first" permit. We know the rest. Lol. But more good times to come, all being well. Cheers Pocko.

Thanks John. Full steam ahead sounds good to me, and as we know, it shouid have happened already. Next year? Hope so. A sale of Kal would break the current slumber, although a JV should see a greater return for us over time. Proving up more of this quality whopper. Lol. Have to see, but the situation here will change for the better, even though at times it has been difficult to envisage. Best wishes.

Hi Aug. Good to hear from you. I feel, based on Swedes for the Swedes, and only the Swedes, that if the they want LKAB to own and operate 100% of Kal, then there remains the strong option of a straight buyout of the Kal project from BEM. At a premium, naturally. Rather than a JV. Simply because the question may always remain as to whether the Swedes will ever view BEM as Swedish, regardless of the percentage of shares held by the Aktie investors. So if they want it totally Swedish, not "faux Swedish", there is only one way. Only my thoughts. Weighing it up, in view of what appears to be an unfortunate, yet deep-rooted xenophobia present within parts of Sweden. That said, I'm sure they could begrudgingly stomach a JV with BEM, if Budge won't budge, lol, should that mean job creation and improved standards of living for the Jokkmokk area for decades. Which it will. We do still appear to be in a decent position, regardless of this wait. Atb.

Cheers for posting that. Meanwhile, Bozzer is doing his absolute best, to ensure that we never relist. Lol.

The formaldehyde is on order.

Good stuff from him, although he mentions that we've been trying to get permitting for Kallak for the last four years. In actual fact, it's five years and seven months, if we take the submission of our full application as being from April 2013. He should have revealed that perhaps, as it would have added weight to our plight, and is a truer picture of the ridiculous situation. Just my thoughts on the timescale, but it seems he's obviously only talking about the application trials and tribulations experienced since his arrival at the Company. On we go, and best of luck to us.

Just seen your post re Annie Lööf too Sooz. LSE mobile version is still not showing all posts. Thanks for sharing.

Oh bugger. Thanks for sharing Geo.

Cheers for posting the graphite info.

It could be the kind eyes party. It's nice and non- extreme enough for moderate flitters. Lol.

Good points matey.

Yes, it would make sense.
