The irony in this sorry saga, is that the agency at the bottom of the bureaucratic food chain, the CAB, is dictating terms, aided and abetted by their cronies, the Sami, who have no status in the published application process. If you honestly believe the decision is close, I wish you well, but, in my view, it is no nearer now than any time over the past 5 years.

It was early February 2017. Is ASA still head of the MI?

The graphite is a much more solid commercial prospect, in my opinion, and is likely to be producing revenues before there is a mine at Kallak. Unless Kurt sells BEM in it�s current state for a song to a Swedish company, he is trapped professionally and the ore is staying in the ground. Kiruna has almost a century of ore left to mine, has all the infrastructure and tax revenues for the Swedish exchequer. Does Sweden need a foreign company to mine Kallak at all, let alone now?

What is the Swedish Advisory Board doing? There is never any reference to these people. Nor do I see any value or effect from their existence. Who is next to speak? Who knows. What timescale is the government working to? None. What can the company do if this goes another few months without a decision? Nothing.

Welcome aboard. This soporific lot will circle the wagons as your views do not conform with the " we're almost there " nonsense. As far as your macro economic outlook. Bang on. Unsecured personal debt already exceeds the 2008 figure. Spain and Greece would have already imploded if not for their membership of the EU and the existence of the ECB. Italy not far behind. The US is technically bankrupt, kept adliat by tge IMF. The colossal volume of QE sucked into the global economy over the past 10 years is coming home to roist. Allued to rising interest rates, it will be a pwrfect storm. In 12 to 24 months time we will be in the middle of a crash which will make 2008 look like a breeze. Still, our political leaders will blame it all on brexit. The world us addicted to the one thing which will be it's downfall - perennial and unsustainable growth.

I din�t Understand your post?

What a surprise. A rambling post all about.......yourself.

I am equally surprised you still post on here as you have discredited yourself completely with your persistent fabrications. I don�t need a mantra. The Swedish government have never made a secret of their steadfast refusal to make a decision. I am merely reflecting their determination honestly, rather than believing they will suddenly have a damascean moment and change tack. They won�t. The fact that many refuse to see that, I find endlessly fascinating. It reminds me of the true story of an American news cameraman sent to document the Vietnam war on the front line. One day, he spotted a sniper just 25 yards away, and, true to his profession, started the camera rolling. The sniper spotted him, took a few steps towards him, raised his rifle and shot the cameraman dead. The whole incident was captured on film. The point being, he had disconnected from reality and refused to see what was really happening in front of his eyes.

The facts and 5 years of consistent evidence is what convinces me. Last week I looked back at my posts from the back end of 2013, I was expressing grave doubts about the process then, and the same people were shouting me down, plus a few others, who have either died of old age or moved on to more lucrative territory. Four and a half years later, no decision, or sign of a decision, and the same people are talking about positive signs. FFS.

Well, if that�s not a cast iron guarantee of a positive decision in the next day or two, I don�t know what is? Are you on drugs? You are a fantasist. Look at the evidence. No decision after 5 years. No commitment to the process. No statement of intent to make a decision. No timescale ever agreed. Wake the feck up.

5 years and a chronology of false deadlines leading nowhere confirms my view as incontrovertible fact. You are quite right. No point debating it.

" agreed process " Well the government trashed that yonks ago...

The belief in a quick decision is just wishful thinking. Look at the evidence. The government's 5 year, consistent modus operandi is to continually kick the can down a never ending road.

Where is the evidence for a quick decision? The government have never agreed any deadline or timescale for a decision. They have wasted 5 whole years and have revelled in the toing and froing of parochial tittle tattle. No chance.

The CAB have always been in the Sami's corner, maybe even directed by the Sami. And now all comments are in, none of which have revealed a thing we didn't already know, the silence and lack of direction or timescale resumes. What are the chances of the government making a decision without further delaying tactics? Zero.

Only 1 trade - 100k sell. Hardly any comments. Who cares any more. RIP Kallak

More than 3 years since the application was first referred back to the government by the MI. Here�s some encouragement from Randy Newman to keep the faith on this cold Monday morning... https://youtu.be/VNBsxP3u2ig ATB

Nowhere to be seen. Checked Facebook, Swedish press etc Seems yet another � deadline � ha ha is slipping by without question. Wonder when the next deadline for the next delay will be agreed by the Swedish government? Or will they pass it back to the MI again, who will need a steer from the CAB, who are controlled by the Sami, whose delayed response is now awaited. Also not been seen in action for some time is the law governing this blighted application??

Yep. It�ll be reindeer good, mines bad. I have a nagging feeling they will try to insist that UNESCO are consulted. ATB

Thanks. So more paper shuffling and pointless passing comment. Nothing changes and the decision is nowhere to be seen. I�ll stick with October 25 for a decision, which already looks optimistic. 2018 is all about the election for these superannuated t*ssers.
